“Will you allow me to meet Weiwei?”
Li Ze frowned at her excited voice, “How’s your condition?”
“Very bad,” said Sun Lanna. “Often lying or sitting.”
“Even force walking?”
“Right, but it’s much better. I couldn’t even walk before,” Sun Lanna said, “The addiction usually attacked me in the afternoon, and then I will be normal the rest of the day. If you agree, I’ll beg my cousin to take me to Xiamen tomorrow. Don’t worry, I won’t force you to make me Weiwei’s mother, but her aunt. Then I could act as her godmother after quitting drugs.”
“It’s another story, actually,”
“Well?”
“Bring forward your plan,” Li Ze said. “Or I’m afraid there will be something unacceptable.”
“What plan?”
“Your revenge plan,”
“Mr Li, I don’t understand what you’re talking about.”
Li Ze briefly explained what had happened in answer to her question.
Sun Lanna on the other end of the phone angrily said, “Such a pervert! Fu Weidong is just a scum! ”
“That’s why he has to be punished,”
“What do you want me to do?”
“To advance your revenge plan.”
“Anyway, I can do whatever as long as he gets punished,”
“I just wonder whether it will be convenient for you.”
“Of course. I can go back to Xiamen whenever I want,” Sun Lanna said, “But it would bother you to restrain me when the addiction attacks. But I am much better now. I even dare to blurt out whatever I want with an exaggerate behaviour.”
“Then what will you do now?”
“Hug myself with pain.”
Li Ze signed at her feeble words, “Actually, I don’t want to call you back to Xiamen, but Fu Weidong was so crafty. He wouldn’t show up if you don’t come. Right, Ms Sun, what was Fu Weidong like in your impression?”
“He was fine in college, looking very cultured with a pair of glasses. He was devoted to literature. Since he was tall and polite, we got together at the end of the first term. But it only seemed he was brilliant, and in fact he had a dark, incomprehensible mentality. For instance, he would get excited at the sight of poultry being slaughtered. His excitement would rise to the extreme when he saw the horror films that the inner are pulled out. I had also argued with him about that. But he convinced me that he was only fond of horrible bloody movies. He also said that since the film were censored, it must be right. I can’t out argue him, but I don’t agree with him either.”
After a pause, Sun Lanna continued, “He likes puzzle game as if he will lose himself. Before he could complete the decryption, he would calm down as if he was motionless, he would not even eat. And he would be as thrilled as someone who has won a lottery after the decryption. In any case, he was very good at inference and speculation of others’ mentality. He could even know what I was thinking with an expression. I don’t like this feeling of being dissected, which he was very fond of. So he’s been taking me as the object of his research.”
Hearing this, Li Ze said, “It seems he’s very thoughtful. You must go back.”
“Right, so it’s tough to fool him.”
“Alright,” Li Ze said, “Let’s discuss about it tomorrow.”
“Don’t you need me to come back to Xiamen today?”
“He said he’d call me at seven or eight o’clock tomorrow, it’s okay to be back tomorrow.”
“In the morning or afternoon?”
Li Ze originally wanted to meet her in the morning, but because he had to accompany Li Jiaxue for abortion at that time, Li Ze said, “Tomorrow afternoon. It just happens I have no classes at that time. Come to my home at anytime, I’ll let you meet Weiwei.”
“Sure!”
“Alright, then, I’m driving.”
“See you tomorrow!”
“Alright.”
“Thank you, Mr Li.”
“Take care of yourself and try to appear in the presence of Weiwei in your best conditions.”
“I know, don’t worry about that.”
After hanging up, Li Ze arrived at the kindergarten.
He found a place to park, Li Ze walked straight to the gate.
After entering the kindergarten and chatting with the security guards, he walked towards his daughter’s classroom. When he arrived at the entrance of the class, his daughter who was playing, ran toward him. The next second he picked up his daughter. When he turned his face slightly, his daughter obediently kissed on it, scratching his chin and stubble.
After chatting with the teacher, Li Ze left with his daughter.
“Baby, did an uncle meet you this afternoon?”
“Yes Daddy!”
“Did he give you some food?”
“Right!”
“What did Daddy tell you?”Li Ze said, “I shouldn’t accept any thing from strangers, especially food.”
“But Teacher said it’s fine!”
“Don’t take anything from strangers anyway,”
“Fine,”
Li Ze headed towards home when they got inside the car.
He was planning to take her to amusement park, but his eyelids fluttered as if something bad was about to happen. So he decided to take her home. In any case, Li Ze only wanted to keep his daughter by his side while Fu Weidong was still free. He also wondered whether he should phone his wife to pay attention to her environment. But due to the deadline given to him at seven or eight o’clock tomorrow night, Li Ze intended to tell her after she got back this night.
The he accompanied her building up the blocks at home.
Meanwhile in the Xiamen Branch of Jia Mei Underwear, Liu Mi was sitting in the rotating chair of the sales director. Wang Dali, with his head wrapped in bandages, was doing the handover work with her. Because of her sprained foot, Liu Mi had to use cane to support walking. Therefore she had to talk with him while sitting.
Neither of them had mentioned anything about what had happened yesterday, but both of them knew it well.
Liu Mi felt extremely uncomfortable at the smiling Wang Dali.
She only hoped that she could finish the handover early so that she wouldn’t have to see this man again.
Ten minutes later, Wang Dali said, “Alright, that’s all. Phone me if you understand it.”
“Well,” Liu Mi said, “I hope you can find a satisfactory job soon.”
“I’m sorry,” Wang Dali said, “I was really furious. I even imagined that you had an affair with Boss Lin to squeeze me down with your body. So I thought you wouldn’t mind having sex with me. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have done that.”
