Chapter 5

 

Ye Shu Wei refused to retake their photo again, he said that the photo looked very realistic, it basically didn’t differ from her exact appearance.

Of course Bei Er Duo wouldn’t be so stupid that she posted it. She prepared to delete it silently. But when she was about to press the delete button, she hesitated…. After several second or minutes of consideration, finally she just kept it.

What if later on you will need it? It’s better just leave it be.

As for the net friends, just some time post it.

“Originally tonight I could post a photo, but it isn’t taken well.” Bei Er Duo gave a sad emoticon to Tang Li.

Tang Li didn’t replied.

Bei Er Duo sat down in front of the computer and sorted her photograph folders.

It almost the time before dawn, Bei Er Duo just received the reply from Tang Li.

“I just finished my work an hour before. Then I go with Chief Yu and friends to have a midnight snacks. I just arrived home. Now I just read your message. It’s okay. If you didn’t take well this time, next time you could do it again.”

“Are you staying up late every night? You need to take care of your health.”

“Em. Em. But, I’m quite happy.”

“O?” She noticed the overtones on her message.

Sure enough, Tang Li’s next message was pink bubbles: “Er Duo, Chief Yu is an extremely perfect man.”

“O?” Bei Er Duo surprised: “No wonder, for him, you spare no effort in the performance of your job.”

“Actually I am frequently be a careless one. But he never criticizes me publicly, but he chooses to say it in front of me in private.”

“He takes a good care of you, does he have any other intention?”

“Don’t you tease me. All along he is full of manner. He does it to every female workers.”

“But you hope that he only does it to you only right.” Bei Er Duo took a fruit candy from her bed cabinet. She opened it then put it inside her mouth. It was very sweet.

“Toward me… He is completely disinterested with me.”

“Are you sure?”

“Em. There is no different treatment between me and other female workers. In private, he wouldn’t talk too much to me, also wouldn’t look at me for a long time.”

“I want to remind me, one-sided love is very hard.” Bei Er Duo  added a sentence: “Moreover, maybe you are just worship me.”

“If it is a worship then it would be okay. But few days ago we went to survey a site. It was a barren hill, we climbed to the top. He accidentally stepped on the dog poo. His hoes and bottom of the trouser were dirty, but that time I still felt that he is too handsome. 

“E, really?” It looked like that Tang Li was utterly devoted to him.

“Really. That time I really wanted to…. throw myself to him. Told him that I already lust after him for a half year. Working together with him everyday, make my blood sugar high.

“Since it is like that, that you just need to be more active and try it out.”

“This one. He has a lot of fans. It is too hard to compete.”

Bei Er Duo laughed helpless. It is Tang Li, she never has any thought to compete to get what she wants or likes. It’s true that it is good if she could get it, but she wouldn’t insist on it. She is open-minded.

“Think about it. If you have chance to seize it then it would not be harmful. In any way, he is single. You have the qualification to be smitten with him.

“Haha, I will think about it!”

Bei Er Duo remembered the time during high school, when Tang Li was in the time of secretly in love with someone. She had crush on the boy in the front row. Because he was a bookworm, so she felt there was no hope. She didn’t dare to confess, she only bought the same lip balm as him. Every day she would apply it on her lips, up until she also used the same pencil as him, she even measured the length to be the same as his. At the certain afternoon during the sport time, she secretly slipped away back to the classroom. She opened the pencil case of that boy, and exchange their lip gloss.

Every time when Bei Er Duo remembered it felt her conduct was very pervert.

“Oh right, Chief Yu is quite close with Ye Shu Wei.” Tang Li sent her a message again.

“What do you mean?” Mentioning Ye Shu Wei, Bei Er Duo’s attention shifted.

“That… Ye Shu Wei is Chief Yu’s mothers’ half little brother.

“Then isn’t it mean he is Chief Yu’s uncle?” Bei Er Duo sent it.

“A, that’s right?” The rather slow-thinking Tang Li responded.

“Isn’t Chief Yu twenty six years old, Ye Shu Wei is just a year older than him, he is his uncle? Are you not wrong?”

“It is Director Fang, who said it. His news is always very accurate.”

“If it’s true, then no wonder Ye Shu Wei looks very mature. It turns out that he already has that big nephew.”

“It is a little bit unfair to say it something like that. If Ye Shu Wei wears a school uniform and strolls around the streets. Eighty percent of people would think that he is high school student.”

“He? Does, he, that, young?”

“If you don’t believe me, then just let him do it.”

“I’m not really related to him, how could he listen to me?”

“Don’t you be too modest, aren’t you couple now? What is this of request, he definitely would satisfy you. Hehe.”

Bei Er Duo’s lips twitched for a while, she ignored Tang Li’s sarcasm.

“Okay, I will sleep first. Baby, don’t you forget to send the picture. Night.”

Mentioning the photo, Bei Er Duo’s head was confused.

Why did Ye Shu Wei shot her face and turned it to be so ugly? Did he do it in purpose?

*

“Do you have time today to go out and take the photo?”

After the several days in the morning, Bei Er Duo took the initiative to send a message to him.

After a while, Ye Shu Wei responded: “Didn’t we already take one that day?”

“That one carelessly be erased by me.” Bei Er Duo lied.

“Today I’m very busy, I just have my lunch break to do that unimportant matter.”

“If not then let me go to your place? In any way it just to take a photo, no need to waste your time.”

“Whatever.”

“…..” Bei Er Duo told two words to herself, “I tolerate”

The afternoon around twelve o’clock, Bei Eri Duo went to Ye Shu Wei’s office. She waited at the entrance and called Ye Shu Wei. It was turned off. She felt so hot and wanted to get inside to enjoy the cool first.

It was a break time so the rooms mostly were closed, and there was no one.

The time Bei Er Duo looked around, then she went to the corridor, and suddenly a door opened.  A worker with a white coat with a glass of cup went out. When he noticed her, he was surprised: “Bei Er Duo.”

Bei Er Duo heard it, but she couldn’t recognize him. The time he approached close to her, she just could recognize him, it was He Yang.

“You come to look for Ye Shu Wei?” He Yang stopped in front of her, and asked her friendly.

“Em. I look for him. Do you know where is he?”

“He is in the lab upstairs. He has been there for a day. He didn’t come out, supposedly he didn’t even eat his lunch.” He Yang said, “Let me take you to his place.”

Bei Er Duo followed He Yang to the second floor. They passed the corridor and stopped at the big door. He Yang stopped, and didn’t knock. He just opened the door directly.

Before went inside, she saw “Animal Disease Model and Western Medicine R&D Laboratory”

She didn’t wear the work clothes, also didn’t know whether there would be any germs inside. So she didn’t dare to rush inside rashly, she just stopped there.

“Ye Shu Wei, don’t be too busy. Take a rest for a while. Your girlfriend is coming  and looking for you.” He Yang went over, and patted his shoulder.

Bei Er Duo just watched Ye Shu Wei started to stand up and turned his body. He looked at her, she immediately smiled at him brightly and waved her hand.

Ye Shu Wei removed his gloves and closed the instruments. He took off his white coat and went outside with He Yang.

“Is this your laboratory? What is inside?” Bei Er Duo asked curiously.

“There is everything inside.” He Yang smiled, “We have operating table, high pressure sterilizer, etc.”

“Would you dissect a little rabbit?” Bei Er Duo asked.d

He Yang was startled, and immediately smiled brightly: “Do you think this is the Biology class for high school students?”

She realized her question to be a bit dumb, and Bei Er Duo laughed self-mockingly: “For me, to dissect a little rabbit would be too hard.”

“Have you eat lunch?” Ye Shu Wei suddenly asked.

“I have eaten.”

“Then accompany me to eat downstair.”

“O, okay.” Bei Er Duo nodded.

“You guys just go to the fast food restaurant on the side. In the canteen it just left steamed stuffed bun and cake.” He Yang said, “I would not keep you guys accompany then, I will go back and take my afternoon nap.’

Bei Er Duo followed Ye Shu Wei to exit the building and went to the fast food store. They entered the fast food restaurant.

Ye Shu Wei ordered a. Meal, and the time he paid, Bei Er Duo said: “How could you don’t eat on time? It is not good for your health.”

“When will we take the photo?” He spoke out without beating around the bush.

“Don’t you be too hurry. Just wait until you finish your lunch.” Bei Er Duo raised her head to look at the menu, “Do you have sago pudding? I want to eat.

She said it then prepared to take her wallet.

“Add a sago pudding.” Ye Shu Wei said to the waiter.

The waiter inputted the order.

“You are treating me?” Bei Er Duo was surprised that today he was too generous.

“Just regard it as the repay from your last treat for me.”

Okay, he counted it very clearly.

When they sat down face to face, Bei Er Duo, who always afraid of awkwardness, started to chat.

“You just enough with this food? Are you on diet? You are not even fat, why do you need to diet? Our man friends in the university even are eating more than you. Also, are you like light flavor food, you don’t like to eat braise soy sauce dishes? That soup is chicken soup? How could only see the mushroom and not the chicken? Do you forget to put it inside?”

Ye Shu Wei stopped his movement, and looked at her for a while. He didn’t say anything.

Bei Er Duo knew that she was too troublesome. She closed her lips, and lowered her head to enjoy her sago pudding.

Ye Shu Wei continued to enjoy his lunch.

Bei Er Duo just stopped for a while, then she started to say again: “Oh right, I hear that you have a relation with Tang Li’s boss? You are his uncle?”

“Where did you hear it?”

“Tang Li a.”

“It is private matter.” Ye Shu Wei said, “It is inconvenient to let someone know.”

Bei Er Duo coughed: “Then let’s talk another thing. Are your temper always be like this?”

“What do you mean?”

“Slowly to make friend.” She tried her best to use the most indirect phrase.

“There is no slow or fast, sometimes I and someone just unable to be close forever.”

Bei Er Duo was choked for a while, her heart was guessing. Is she the “someone”.

“Then what do you think of me?” Bei Er Duo’s implication is —> Are we in close friendly relation?

“You?” Ye Shu Wei gave her a critical assessment, “Too much word.”

“Too much word? This…” Bei Er Duo closed her mouth, and throughly gave up to chat with him.

Hence, when he ate his lunch, she just stared at him, and didn’t say anything.

 

Truthfully, Bei Er Duo always feels that by seeing someone’s table manner, they could know his/ her personality. For example during they ate something, when they moved their both hands made chewing sound during it, it might showed that they are uneducated and selfish. If someone’s eyes roved around the dishes on the table, it means that he/she has an irritable and strong practical nature. If someone picked their food slowly and orderly, likes to slice the food to a small size, and chew it well before swallow it, then he/she is very attentive and patient. If he/she refused to be distracted, chewed and swallowed it silently, doesn’t disturb other people, he/she should has a high self-discipline and typically rational person.

Ye Shu Wei is the last one.

After a period of long time being watched intensely by the person on the opposite side, Ye Shu Wei finished half of his food then put down his chopsticks: “Let’s go, let’s take a picture.”

“Big brother, you haven’t finished your food.” Bei Er Duo reminded him, “No need to be so rush.”

“If you take it earlier, you could go home earlier.”

Well, why does she feel there is a kind of wrong impression of his strong resentment of her existence?

Bei Er Duo neglected that thought, asked: “Then where would we go to take the shot?”

“Just go the close one.”

Hearing what Ye Shu Wei said, Bei Er Duo thought he already found that mysterious and good place. Hence, she just followed him out. Who knew that after following him for a circle, they went back again to the entrance of the fast food restaurant. Ye Shu Wei stopped, and said: “Just take it here.”

“…. Don’t you find another place?” Bei Er Duo wiped the sweat on her head.

“Except this, then it’s research institute. Which one do you prefer?”

“It’s better to be in research institute. Research institute is cooler than here. Here is too hot.” BEi Er Duo looked at the street in front and grumbled: “There is a lot of people here.”

They went back to the research institute. Bei Er Duo followed Ye Shu Wei to get inside the rest area.

When they went inside, there was no one inside.

There are two tables combined to be a long one. There was a drink shelf on the table with five or four cups hanged on it. Beside the drink shelf there is a small speaker. There are a lot of discs there, and instant coffees, tea canister, small electric fan, candies, etc….

Except chair, there was also a book shelf and one long sofa. There was a lot of various books and animal skeleton. 

“Here is quite peaceful.” Bei Er Duo stood in front of the window, and opened the window curtain a bit. She saw two tall trees outside. It looked so peaceful

Ye Shu Wei went over, and conveniently pulled open the window: “The area behind the research institute is an empty area, there would be no one.”

“Let’s just take it here.” Bei Er Duo saw it then looked around. She took only chair available over then sat down. She let Ye Shu Wei to leaned over: “If our face has the light, the it would turn to be very good.”

It is what-so-called magnificent sun ray.

“You sit down, and I stand up?” Ye Shu Wei asked.

“This, looks like to be a bit difficult.”

Bei Er Duo stood up: “Then we are both standing up? Looking at the scenery outside? Isn’t it too fake?”

“Very fake. It doesn’t show any common couple affection.”

“What does the common couple look like?”

Bei Er Duo asked again, she thought that why he looks like he really experienced in this.

Ye Shu Wei thought about it, then went to the sofa: “Let’s take it while we are sitting on it.”

Bei Er Duo came over, she put down her bag, and sat down.

“You lean on my shoulder.”

“Bei Er Duo with half doubt, placed her head over on his shoulder. She used her hand to unlock her phone, and was about to take photo.

“Give me your phone, then close your eyes.” He suddenly said it.

She raised her eyes: “ Why?”

“For the sake of being natural.”

She passed the phone to him, leaned on his shoulder: “Don’t you shot me badly like last time.”

“I just shoot it realistically.”

She closed her eyes depressingly.

“Lower your head a bit.”

She followed.

“Move your hair on the left ear.”

She obeyed him.

“Raise your chin a bit.”

She followed his direction.

“Don’t you show your nose hole clearly.”

She followed him.

“Move your face to the right a bit.”

She followed. She started to get sleepy and fell asleep.

After a long time, she just awake. Because she slept to soundly, the time she awake she couldn’t remember where she was.

She was lying on the sofa, with a soft blanket on her body.

Ye Shu Wei was stood in front of the table and made his tea. 

“Ye Shu Wei?” She yelled his name.

“Twenty three minutes.” She could only see his back, “The length of your sleep.”

She suddenly sobered, she sat up and arranged her hair: “I’m sorry. I’m too sleepy. Oh right, what did you do before? O o, take a photo. Let’s continue.”

“It’s already done.” He drunk his tea, “It’s in your phone.”

Bei Er Duo took her phone suspiciously, and opened. There were three new photos.

Her head was place on Ye Shu Wei’s chest. Her hair was a somewhat messy, she slept so peaceful. Ye Shu Wei was lowering his head and looked at her sleeping expression, his other hand was on her shoulder.

“This…This could be regard as natural photo.” Bei Er Duo said it with consideration, “But the good thing it showed your face a bit, so everyone should be satisfied.”

“Bei Er Duo.”

“What?” Bei Er Duo raised her head, and asked him.

“When you sleep do you always slobber?” Ye Shu Wei turned his body, and leaned on the table.

“Did I slobber before?” Bei Er Duo lowered her head and looked at the sofa.

Ye Shu Wei lowered his eyes to his soaking shirt in the chest part. 

“I already took three picture. You could choose it by yourself. It will be all for today, you could go home now.”

Bei Er Duo put the phone inside, nodded, and stood up.

The time she went out, she suddenly remembered something: “This period of time, you shouldn’t look for girlfriend right.”

“I will not.”

Bei Er Duo smiled: “I just remembered. That if one day you have someone you like, remember the first time, you will tell me. I will immediately tell Tang Li to stop this fun. If not it would affect your real life.”

“Will not.” Ye Shu Wei stood up and went to the window.

“I will not meet a girlfriend, the probability would be zero.”

“Just in case? Couldn’t you say it like that.”

“If there is, then the first time I would do is leave you behind.”

“….” Bei Er Duo was surprised.

Man, indeed is the cold blooded one. If they meet his ideal, they would throw you away…..

The time Bei Er Duo was criticizing him silently, she completely forgot who mentioned about this topic first.

“Oh right, if it’s you.” Ye Shu Wei reminded her, “You should tell me first, I would be responsible to stop this relationship.”

Bei Er Duo nodded.

“Then it will be no problem.”

When she went out the institute, she suddenly realized. What was his meaning of no problem? What did he say before obviously mean that if it is her who encounters the man that she likes, she should tell him in advance, he would be responsible to cut of… responsible to throw her away!

It just same like, no matter who is it. Whether is it her or him, it would be him who throw her away?

It was simply to sinister, he is too good at calculating.

Under the sun, Bei Er Duo considered a problem: “For which reason he could do that?”

She couldn’t control her mood, she sent him a message: “For which reason it is your choice to actively end our relationship?”

Ye Shu Wei replied: “Because I never being throw away by someone.”

“Do you feel that I have experience of it?”

“Don’t you?”

“……”
