Beijing.
North Heping Street, Dong Xuebing's house.
It's a bright morning, and Dong Xuebing is too lazy to get out of bed.
The heater in the house is not warm, and it's best to sleep under the blanket.
After returning from Seoul yesterday, Dong Xuebing returned to this one-bedroom apartment he had stayed with his mother for a few years. Aunt Xuan had helped him clean the apartment, and the furniture in the apartment is covered with a thin layer of dust. Dong Xuebing spent half a day cleaning the apartment and took a hot shower. After that, he slept under the blanket until now. Dong Xuebing's task these two days is to wait for Sister Yu to return to Beijing before fetching her back to the County. That's why he had nothing to do and slept in.
But having nothing to do was also a very depressing thing.
Qu Yunxuan and her parents had left for Hong Kong and Macau two days ago and will be back before Lunar New Year.
Dong Xuebing had nothing to do and smoked a few cigarettes under the blanket. He wonders what to do today. Sigh … I wonder if Sister Yu's bandages are removed.
Dong Xuebing called her, but the line did not go through.
When Dong Xuebing was about to call again, his iPhone 4 started beeping.
Dong Xuebing looked at the number and laughed dryly. He ruffled his messy hair and sat up from his bed. He cleared his throat and answered. "Hello, Xiao Qianqian. Is it winter break?"
"Big Brother … sob … sob …" Dong Xuebing could hear her crying.
"Ah … don't cry." Dong Xuebing asked nervously. "What happened?"
Yu Qianqian sobbed. "My mother … my mother … her … face …" Dong Xuebing knew he could not hide it from her.
"I'm sorry. A few days ago, you are preparing for your exams, and your mother and I did not dare to tell you. Oh, your mother's face was scratched, and I had accompanied Sister Yu to Korea for the surgery. The bandages should be removed today, and there will not be any scars on her face. Don't worry. We will go back to visit you in a few days."
"Sob … my mother … is she really fine?"
"Hehe, I promise to bring her back in one piece. Don't cry, okay?"
The little guy's cries gradually became softer. He sniffled and said, "… Yes!"
Dong Xuebing replied. "Alright. Finish your winter homework, and I will check it when you get back." He coaxed Yu Qianqian for a while before hanging up.
Sigh … I hope Sister Yu can recover.
No, I can't hope, I must succeed!
Dong Xuebing calmed himself down and got out of bed to brush his teeth. After that, he went to the kitchen for breakfast. The eggs in the fridge were still edible, and Dong Xuebing ate two poached eggs. One was yellow, and the other was cooked. He also took out a pack of expired Nescafe instant coffee from the cupboard. Dong Xuebing's stomach was full.
Ring ring ring, ring ring ring.
While he was washing the dishes, his phone rang.
Dong Xuebing shook off the water on his hands and walked into the living room. "Phone … phone …" Dong Xuebing looked at his phone and saw Yu Meixia's number. "Sister Yu? Have you removed the gauze? "
"Yes … I had removed it."
"What's going on?" Dong Xuebing asked nervously.
Yu Meixia's phone was in a mess. "I … I am at Beijing's airport and had just alighted."
"Huh?" Dong Xuebing was stunned. "You are back? Why didn't you tell me earlier? Wait for me. I will go and fetch you. "
"The phone signal is not good, and I can't get through. I … I will wait for you at the airport lobby. I know where I am now, but this place is too big. I … I can't find the exit."
"Don't wander around. Just wait for me."
Dong Xuebing did not expect Yu Meixia to fly back so soon. She must be worried about staying in Seoul alone and asked Zhang Jingjing to book a flight ticket for her. That means her treatment should have ended yesterday, and she only removed the gauze this morning. Since the hospital had agreed to let Yu Meixia return, that means her injuries should have recovered. But Dong Xuebing is not sure how well she is recovering.
Dong Xuebing grabbed his bag and rushed downstairs.
Dong Xuebing had parked his Mercedes Benz MPV in an underground carpark nearby when he arrived in Beijing a few days ago. He ran over and drove to the airport.
After entering the airport lobby, Dong Xuebing called Yu Meixia and waited for a long time before confirming her location.
He asked a staff about Yu Meixia's whereabouts and walked towards the west. He is looking for Yu Meixia in the crowd.
… found her!
Not far away, Yu Meixia was standing in front of an airport cafe with a small suitcase. She looked around as if she had arrived in a foreign country. She looked uneasy and nervous. Dong Xuebing took a deep breath. When he saw Yu Meixia, his heart turned cold. Yu Meixia is wearing a face mask. If she had recovered well, why is she wearing a face mask? That means there are scars on her face? Also, she needs to use a face mask to cover her scars before going out?
How did this happen?
Is there a scar?
At this time, Yu Meixia saw Dong Xuebing and quickly ran over with her suitcase. "Xiao Bing, you are here?"
Dong Xuebing looked at Yu Meixia's face. "You … let's go out first."
Yu Meixia nodded and followed behind Dong Xuebing.
After leaving the airport, Dong Xuebing helped Yu Meixia carry her luggage into the car and drove onto the airport highway. How serious is the scar on Yu Meixia's face? Dong Xuebing hesitated for a while and did not ask her about it. He does not want to rub salt on Yu Meixia's wound. She will tell him when she wants to tell him, and he wants to let her calm down first. Anyway, it is already like this.
Along the way, Dong Xuebing kept a smile on his face to create a relaxed atmosphere.
"Are you hungry? It's almost 11 pm. Where are we going for lunch? "
"I will listen to you." Yu Meixia replied. "I have never been to Beijing, and I don't know what there is to eat."
Dong Xuebing continued. "Beijing is famous for its snacks. Donkey rolls, mutton giblets, big bowl of tea, roast duck, etc. Oh, there is a donkey barbecue restaurant downstairs. Let's go there. Huh? Donkey barbecue is not a Beijing snack. Hahaha … who cares." Dong Xuebing does not need to look at himself in the mirror to know his forced smile will not look good. "Let's go for lunch."
North Heping Street.
Dong Xuebing and Yu Meixia ordered a pot of donkey giblets soup and some barbecue.
Yu Meixia looks at Dong Xuebing. "Xiao Bing, you … you are not in a good mood? What happened? "
"Ah?" Dong Xuebing thought to himself. I should be the one asking you this. You have a scar on your face, and you are in a good mood?
"Oh, I … I still have not shown you my face." Yu Meixia remembered.
Dong Xuebing's heart skipped a beat. "Err … let's have lunch first."
Yu Meixia shook her head and turned around to face Dong Xuebing. She gritted her teeth and took off her face mask.
Dong Xuebing's heart is racing. He wants to look but doesn't dare to.
One second …
Two seconds …
Yu Meixia's face mask is finally removed.
Dong Xuebing blinked and was stunned when he saw Yu Meixia's face. He jumped up from his chair and bent down to hold Yu Meixia's face in his hands. He stared at Yu Meixia's face, but there are no scars on her fair and smooth skin. Dong Xuebing was shocked. "Didn't you recover? Damn! You have recovered well! Hah! Why are you scaring me if you have nothing better to do! I thought you are wearing a mask because you have a scar on your face! Ah! This is great! Didn't I recover now? "
Yu Meixia lowered her head embarrassedly. "I … I don't know how to talk. But after I got a scar on my face, you had been encouraging me and giving me confidence. You even brought me to Seoul for surgery. I … that's why I wanted to show my face to you first when I returned."
Dong Xuebing exclaimed. "You should have told me earlier. I was almost scared to death!"
"I'm sorry." Yu Meixia bit her lips. "Thank you … for these few days."
"Sigh … why are you thanking me?" Dong Xuebing held Yu Meixia's face in his hands. "Let me look at your face again. Hehe … that group of Koreans is really good. Hmmm … there are still some scars on your face, but it's nothing. Who doesn't have pimples and wrinkles on their face? This is not bad. " From afar, Yu Meixia's face had recovered. But when Dong Xuebing got closer, he could still see some scars.
Yu Meixia blushed as Dong Xuebing held her face in his hands. "The doctor had given me some medication, and he said if I take it continuously, these scars will disappear."
"Good … That's great." Dong Xuebing laughed happily. "If I knew this would happen, I should have gone to the hotel for dinner. I can celebrate with you."
Yu Meixia is also overjoyed and smiles.
Dong Xuebing looked at her for a while before looking away. He could finally relax today. He banged on the table and called the boss of the donkey barbecue stall over. He took out his wallet and took out a thousand RMB. "Boss, it's my treat today." Dong Xuebing looked at Dong Xuebing with a smile. After saying that, Dong Xuebing saluted his friends at the other tables. "Everyone, enjoy your meal. I will pay for today's bill. Boss, get two plates of donkey meat for each table!"
The boss laughed. "Ok!"
The other customers had heard Dong Xuebing and Yu Meixia's conversation and knew what is going on.
"Little brother, thank you very much."
"Brother, don't thank me."
Dong Xuebing laughed. "I am happy today. Everyone, help yourselves."
A few young men also congratulated Yu Meixia on her recovery after Dong Xuebing treated them. "Congratulations."
Yu Meixia blushed and quickly thanked Dong Xuebing.
