Chapter 42: Water is Deep Enough to Drown a Man

  The next day I got up early and unusually didn't sleep in, nor did I let Wang Yong come knock on the door to ask "Are you still alive?"

  I was supposed to go home today, but suddenly I lost the mood. This morning, I didn't even take the bus back home, and after finishing breakfast, I just sat in the cafeteria, feeling like I didn't know what to do. The ancients said "sighing as if lost", probably referring to this kind of feeling.

  Wang Yong was as usual, I suppose he received the order yesterday or the day before, and I didn't notice anything at all.

  "He gazed at me with such deep affection," he touched his own face, "looks like I'm especially handsome today!"

  I forced a smile and shifted my gaze away from him, avoiding eye contact.

  "What's wrong with you today? You're really off." Wang Yong asked.

  "Physiological cycle." I said.

  "It's still early, you came last time 9 days ago, based on my observation over the past few months, your next visit will be in exactly 20 days..."

  Bang!

  I slammed my palm on the dinner table in a rage, "Looking for death! Which piece of meat wants to meet formalin!!"

  This guy! He even knows my physical cycle! His mother's old lady, I myself can't even calculate it accurately!

  "Mother... mother... angry..." Wang Yong raised his hands in a surrendering gesture, and with a long sigh, he bowed his head and knocked on the dining table.

  Many people are looking this way, I'm a bit embarrassed, so I'll let him off for now. "Alright, get up first, the palace will pardon you of your crimes."

  Wang Yong raised his head and leaned in to ask in a low voice, "However, Your Highness, what exactly happened today that ruined your mood? Please tell me, and I'll help you share the worry."

  It's you! You're so blind! Forget it...

  "Alright, I'll be honest with you, it's because there are no more cases. Without any cases, I feel unwell all over and can't muster up the energy. Wang Yong, why don't you just go die for me? That way, I'll have a corpse to dissect."

  "This is more like you."

  I sighed again and remained silent.

  Wang Yong said: "I'll ask you, a rabbit and a very fast turtle have a race, who wins?"

  "Tortoise, you've already said 'a fast-running tortoise'."

  "Hmm, you actually know that. Okay, let me ask you another one: this rabbit wasn't satisfied, so it found a turtle wearing sunglasses to have a racing competition with. Who won in the end?"

  "It's still a turtle, took off sunglasses and looked again, it was still that fast-running turtle."

  Wang Yong saw that neither of the two questions had stopped me, and he slapped his thigh, saying: "Let's have a high-difficulty one! Can you give an example of a war in ancient China where the weaker side won?"

  "Sun Wukong's Great Battle with the 100,000 Heavenly Soldiers and Generals!"

  Wang Yong exclaimed: "It's unbelievable! In just a few days (sarcastically), your skills have improved dramatically!"

  "A man is known by the company he keeps."

  Wang Yong said, "Let me tell you another joke. One day, Xiaoming took tomatoes, watermelon and strawberries to the street. At an intersection, the tomato was run over by a car. Xiaoming said, 'Haha! Tomato sauce!'"

  Here is the translation:

  "Arrived at another intersection, the watermelon was smashed. Xiaoming said: 'Haha! Watermelon juice!' Guess what happened by the third intersection?"

  What can I do? The strawberry thief is doomed anyway. I'm too lazy to bother with him.

  Wang Yong continued: "At the third intersection, Xiaoming was run over by a car and died...", he paused here.

  Oh, so it was Xiaoming who died, I thought.

  Wang Yong continued: "Strawberry said: 'Haha! Loser!'"

  It's quite funny, but I didn't want to laugh at him, so I gave him a polite smile, and the smile was like a small patch of water on the sunny ground, which dried up quickly, leaving behind a desolate water stain like tears.

  Wang Yong also felt that something was off about me, "Today is strange, usually a joke can make you laugh. What's wrong today? Isn't your physiological cycle really messed up?"

  "Get out!"

  "Hey! Before you roll away, let me say one more thing, I guarantee that when the princess hears it, she'll immediately jump up."

  "Say it." I looked up at him.

  Wang Yong said: "If you don't leave now, you won't catch the bus! Jump up! Jump up!"

  I didn't jump up.

  I rushed back to Langongguan, took the medicine and ate it, then closed my eyes and remained calm for a long time.

  She slowly opened her eyes again, and the mist on her eyelashes quickly disappeared without a trace. Tears had not fallen, but they were already dry.

  Some people's tears are destined to flow back into their hearts.

  After calming down, I took a deep breath, pulled up my suitcase and opened the door to leave.

  As I opened the door, Wang Yong was waiting at the entrance. I saw his worried gaze, he didn't even crack a joke and looked at me deeply, asking "Are you okay?"

  "It's nothing," I said coldly, "you're going home today too, let's go together, we can also save some money on the ride."

  "It's not a train station," said Wang Yong.

  "Oh." I felt a pang in my heart and forced a polite smile, "Well, have a good walk then, I won't see you off."

  "Are you okay?"

  I shook my head and casually gave him a reason, "The feeling of homesickness is even more timid."

  "Then you be careful, for me."

  Wang Yong helped me carry the luggage box downstairs, Lan Gongguan has convenient transportation, and there is a public station not far from downstairs. When we arrived, the bus came just in time. I reached out to take my luggage, but Wang Yong didn't give it to me, and directly helped me put it on the bus.

  "Thank you," I said.

  "Be careful yourself," Wang Yong said.

  I nodded, "You go ahead, I won't see you off."

  My eyes are moist, I hate being moist, everything looks blurry.

  Wang Yong nodded and pulled my hand.

  We all didn't know what else to say, just staring at each other like this.

  No one got on, and the bus closed its doors neatly and took off.

  The car started and we all came back to our senses. Wang Yong hurriedly shouted: "I'm getting off! I'm getting off!"

  I also hastily asked Master to accommodate: "Master, he sent me, Master, please stop the car and let him get off."

  The driver honked twice, "You're all like this, what's the point of getting off the bus? Just go home and see your mother-in-law directly! Young man, buy a ticket!"

  Many people on the bus were laughing.

  "No, no." I waved my hand repeatedly, this matter is still unclear.

  "The bus won't stop at every station!" said the driver, "Young man, I can only help you up to here."
