Fang Zhu looked at the back of her hand. The wound had already healed without leaving a scar.
“What should I say? What do you want to hear?” Lu Yi held the phone with one hand and battered the keyboard with another hand. He had already taken his work to the hospital, and he still had a few cases on his hands. He must finish it by the time he was discharged from the hospital, or else he would delay the work.
“Lu Yi!” Fang Zhu almost shouted, “It’s been so long, don’t you ever think of calling me and asking whether my wound is healed?”
“Didn’t you asked me not to call you?” Lu Yi asked her in reply without any emotion.
She was just going to say something when his remark choked her off. Yes, that was what she had once said to Lu Yi. She didn’t like people calling her when she was working because she was very busy. She did have boyfriends before, but they were too annoying and Lu Yi was the only one she was satisfied with. At least, he wouldn’t make noise and both of them loved to be quiet. In fact, it could be understood that she wasn’t willing to change her current life but she wished that others could change for her.
Fang Zhu took a deep breath, “Lu Yi, I am not going to say that now, but you have to throw the cat away. I’m allergic to cat hair.”
Throw the cat? Lu Yi frowned, sorry, I can’t promise you. The cat was not his but just boarding at his house. He wouldn’t throw the cat, even if she was not boarding.
It was not a thing. It was a living being which he had nursed for so long and he already bonded with.
“You throw or not?” Fang Zhu pulled a long face, what does he mean to keep silent? Does he not agree? But he always acts upon whatever I say. It is just a cat, is he hates to part with it? So am I less important than a cat?
“Sorry, I can’t do this.” Lu Yi gave a clear-cut reply, he couldn’t.
Yes, I can’t.
This was the first time he turned down Fang Zhu’s demand. She could do anything, even if her students secretly called him a eunuch. But this thing, he couldn’t promise.
Fang Zhu hung up the phone, she stepped on the ground with her high-heeled shoes. She wasn’t pleased with his answer. She had already said that she was allergic to dogs and cats’ hairs. She couldn’t get along with the animals who would shed their hairs.
But what did he say? She asked him whether he was willing to, he said he couldn’t, he didn’t agree.
If he disagreed, fine, they couldn’t be lovers anymore.
She laughed scornfully, let’s wait and see. Your temper is as tough as a rock, who else would like to marry you?
She thought Lu Yi was all under her control, she thought he couldn’t live without her and she thought she was Lu Yi’s wife, Lu Yi must listen to her whatever he wanted to do.
But these were her thoughts. She felt at ease on the first day, and she was in a good mood when she was having the class. But, she was more impatient than usual.
The next day, she wasn’t laughing.
On the third day, she began to scold the students, the dog and the cat.
On the fourth day, she was on pins and needles and felt restless with anxiety.
So, she was the one who couldn’t wait and felt uneasy in the end.
