Fang Zhu looked at the back of her hand. The wound had already healed without leaving a scar.
âWhat should I say? What do you want to hear?â 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.
âLu Yi!â Fang Zhu almost shouted, âItâs been so long, donât you ever think of calling me and asking whether my wound is healed?â
âDidnât you asked me not to call you?â 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 didnât 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 wouldnât make noise and both of them loved to be quiet. In fact, it could be understood that she wasnât willing to change her current life but she wished that others could change for her.
Fang Zhu took a deep breath, âLu Yi, I am not going to say that now, but you have to throw the cat away. Iâm allergic to cat hair.â
Throw the cat? Lu Yi frowned, sorry, I canât promise you. The cat was not his but just boarding at his house. He wouldnât 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.
âYou throw or not?â 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?
âSorry, I canât do this.â Lu Yi gave a clear-cut reply, he couldnât.
Yes, I canât.
This was the first time he turned down Fang Zhuâs demand. She could do anything, even if her students secretly called him a eunuch. But this thing, he couldnât promise.
Fang Zhu hung up the phone, she stepped on the ground with her high-heeled shoes. She wasnât pleased with his answer. She had already said that she was allergic to dogs and catsâ hairs. She couldnât 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 couldnât, he didnât agree.
If he disagreed, fine, they couldnât be lovers anymore.
She laughed scornfully, letâs 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 couldnât live without her and she thought she was Lu Yiâs 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 wasnât 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 couldnât wait and felt uneasy in the end.
