Chapter 43 - I Am Such a Sucker

Chapter 43: I Am Such a Sucker

Translator: Claire.KK

The train ticket Zhishu He bought was to Shenyang; then he would continue his journey to Hangzhou. According to his plan, the money left would be enough to rent an apartment for six months in Hangzhou, if he didn’t continue his treatment.

Zhishu He arrived at the train station at half past ten in the morning. It was still too early to take the departure.

He was very patient for waiting. After years of grinding, he had been accustomed to waiting and was quite good at it. The passengers crowded the station hall, and the seats were all taken. Zhishu He was not too tired, so he just stood aside from the crowding hall; however, his empty heart found no place to stop over.

Many people had foreseen the relationship between Zhishu He and Wenxu Jiang would end this way. Zhishu He’s mother told him that two men’s love would not last long, and Jiang’s mother even said that they would separate before 30 years old.

There was even a saying in the collection of Zhen Jian’s essays, “You walk the path you would; I return my way home.”

Even if they, two players in the game, could refuse to face the reality and entangle with each other till now, they still couldn’t escape from their final destination: Break up.

Time went really fast, and then it was past twelve o’clock. Zhishu He felt tired for standing too long, so he went to buy a bottle of water to drink.

At that moment, he heard people in the entrance suddenly started to make bustle and noise, and saw a man in grey wind coat rush through the hall with a dozen of guards in black suits following him. Two of the guards came to talk with the staff in the station, while others, each holding a picture, began to look for someone.

Zhishu He just stood aside in a daze. At first, he was curious about why these men would make such a riot. However, only when Zhishu He laid his eyes on the tall man in grey wind coat, did He immediately recognize that the man was Ziyu Ai.

Ziyu Ai spotted Zhishu He in the crowed at once; then Ai strode over in a fast step. No sooner did Zhishu He realize what was going on than Ziyu Ai came in front of him.

“Zhishu He, You fucking freaked me out!” Ziyu’s eyes were red with rage.

“You really think a goodbye is enough? Just quit the treatment? How can you say that so easily? Why don’t you just say you want to commit suicide?” Ziyu Ai seized Zhishu He’s wrist, and roared at He in complete disregard of the people around, “What do you take with you? Where is your bag? Where are the medicine bottles?”

Zhishu He tried to pull his hand back with a frown, “Doctor Ai, Don’t be like this.”

“Right, I’m fucking cheap and I ask for it! You’ve told me all, but I am such a sucker and always over the top!”

Ziyu Ai pulled Zhishu He out as he was saying, “I was afraid that you would do something stupid, so I asked guards and emergency doctors to break into your house. What if I haven’t use GPS to locate you, are you going to die outside? ”

Zhishu He, who barely woke up from the chaotic situation, was reluctant to leave with Ai. What was more, He just couldn’t stand being harassed by a man who was unreasonably angry with him, even if He was good-tempered.

“I am free to die wherever I want to die! What kind of doctor are you? You looked like a mafia, breaking into my house and following me here when so many patients are desperately waiting for their doctor!”

Ziyu Ai stood still, condescendingly staring at Zhishu He’s eyes like a bully, saying in a domineering voice, “Among all these patients, you are the only one I want to heal. You can’t escape from me.” Ziyu’s image of a gentle doctor in white disappeared completely.

All of a sudden, Ziyu Ai held Zhishu He into his arms in an irresistible manner, but said in a soft and affectionate voice, “It’s my first time to act like a mafia, and I will take you somewhere I want to go, OK?”

Zhishu He had to admit that he had never seen Doctor Ai being so stubborn and capricious. Since Ziyu Ai came in, Zhishu He somehow knew that he would attract people’s attention in this small hall.

“Let me go… I can talk with you outside.” Zhishu He had to concede.

Ziyu Ai smiled, and he immediately loosed his arms, “Let’s go.”

It didn’t occur to Zhishu He how spectacular an arrangement Ziyu Ai had made for him until He came out finding seven or eight Humvees parking in a line outside the station. Ziyu Ai opened the door in the first Humvee and waved Zhishu He to sit inside as Ai was talking to the phone:

“My bro, I found him. Leave me one car and the rest can go back. One car is enough…Ok, bye, see you around. ”

Before Zhishu He was about to say something in the passenger’s seat, Ziyu Ai put his finger at He’s lips.

“Close your eyes first.” Ziyu Ai began to play a game of mystery.

Zhishu He couldn’t refuse, so he lightly closed his eyes and waited. The long silence in the car was suddenly broken by a touch of something wet and cold at He’s lips. Zhishu He was taken by astonishment, but when He opened his eyes, He only found that he was staring at the eyes of a cat, whose nose was just against his mouth.

Picking up the cat by its neck, Doctor Ai snickered, “What were you thinking just now?”

Zhishu He felt a blush rise to his cheeks, but he suddenly realized, “It’s my cat?”

Only when Ziyu Ai put the cat in the backseat did Zhishu He notice that the other three cats were all together in sound sleep. Ziyu Ai explained, “When I couldn’t find you at your house, it occurred to me that you wanted to go somewhere far away. But what about the cats? Do you want them to starve to death? And speaking of your…”

“He is not a good guy.” Ziyu Ai stumbled over his words, afraid of making mistakes.

Zhishu He understood Ai’s meaning. He replied to Ai in a moment of silence, “Anyway, Thank you.”

Ziyu Ai after all didn’t forget the main point, “Where are you going?”

Zhishu He suddenly remembered his train ticket, which cost him a lot but now was pitifully wasted, saying, “I was planning to go to Hangzhou.”

“Good!” Ziyu Ai smiled, “My brother has a tea house in the Longjing Road (a place of interest in Hang Zhou City, where many people do tea business). The environment there is very good. Let me drive you over there.”

Zhishu He was surprised. The journey to Hangzhou was too long on the one hand, and on the other hand He planned to travel alone.

Doctor Ai was in high spirits, “Let set off now. We go back to my house to take my doggie first. Er Gou likes Hangzhou, and he likes cats too… he likes you very much.
