Left Ear (34)

  Section 34: Left ear (34) "I want to go sing."

  I was startled: "Who came up with this rotten idea for you?"

  "Some people told my dad that I have a good image and singing skills."

  "It's your dad's money, isn't it!"

  "Don't be a spoilsport!" She pushed me and jumped in front of me, putting her hands on her waist and striking a pose. "Look at me, don't I look like a star?"

  "I have!" I said.

  "When I become a star, you can be my agent!"

  "Unfair."

  "Alright, alright, if not then don't. You can be my boss!" Jiang Jiao leaned back on my shoulder again, "Cockroach, I'm telling you, there are guys in our school who have a crush on me, sending me ten short messages a day, it's so annoying."

  "Let him send it to my phone, I'll bother you instead."

  "Hahaha." Jiang Jiao looked up at the sky and laughed loudly, "Be honest with me, how many girls are chasing you?"

  "I haven't counted." I said.

  "Woe is me, you're not allowed to change your mind."

  "Wish to change, no time."

  "What have you been busy with?"

  "I'm busy with you." I said.

  "Die, die, die!" She fell into my arms. What happened next was a matter of course. At the critical moment, Jiang Jiao took out a condom and placed it between our lips, saying with a pout: "Dear, you forgot this."

  I pulled the condom out of her hand and threw it aside.

  "No, no." She was somewhat afraid and firmly disagreed.

  I rolled off her and lay on the floor, I don't know what happened to myself either.

  After a while, Jiang Jiao leaned over and lay on me, whispering to me: "Okay, cicada, as long as you're happy, I agree."

  I pushed her away, got up and said: "I'm hungry, let's go out for dinner, if I eat instant noodles again, I'll vomit."

  She sat on the floor for a while, was in a daze for a while, then obediently put on her clothes and followed me out.

  That evening, Jiang Jiao and I had dinner at a small restaurant near her home. We ate a lot, were very full, and felt very comfortable. The two of us also drank a bottle of beer, clinking our glasses together, looking no different from any other intimate couple in the world. But I knew we were different from others, and the problem didn't lie with Jiang Jiao, but with me.

  "Cockroach, you're a bad guy." Jiang Jiao finished the beer in his cup and said to me with a slightly red face: "See how I'll deal with you tonight."

  But in the end, we didn't accomplish anything that night. The problem still lies with me, I just can't do it. Jiang Jiao comforted me saying: "It's okay, I heard there are some pretty good medicines."

  "What nonsense are you talking about!" I scolded her.

  "Hehe, I know you're too tired," she said in a good mood. "Why don't we sleep?"

  My phone rang at this moment, it was a text message. I took the phone from Jiang Jiao's bedside table and saw a text message on it: Is Beijing cold? Take care of yourself.

  No signature.

  Jiang Jiao tilted her head and asked me: "Who cares about you so much?"

  I thought for a moment and said: "I don't know."

  "A new girlfriend?"

  "What's wrong with you, isn't my girlfriend you?"

  Jiang Jiao jumped off the bed, pointing at me: "Zhang Yang, I want to hear you tell the truth! When you first liked Ba La, weren't you also hiding it from me? Don't think I don't know anything, my heart is very clear. You've got another woman, you don't love me anymore. I just don't understand, if you don't love me then just say so, why do you still want to deceive me?"

  "Cut it out!" I said, "How about going to sleep?"

  "No, I'll make a scene, I'll make a big fuss. If you don't tell me clearly, I'll make a scene for three days and three nights! Tell me, who is this person?"

  "Are you done yet?"

  "It's not over!" Jiang Jiao threw her nightgown over my head, "I know you're definitely a slut, I know it, you damn well like sluts!"

  I stretched out my hand and slapped her cleanly. I don't hit women, but lunatics must be hit. After hitting her, I got up to put on my clothes. Jiang Jiao saw that I was really angry, jumped onto the bed again, hugged me and said: "Forget it, I won't hold it against you, let's go to sleep."

  Sleep if you want to sleep.

  I fell asleep as soon as I lay down.

  The cell phone rang again at this time, still an unnamed person. This time it was a question: Some things, some people, if you really want to forget, will you definitely forget?

  Jiang Jiao closed his eyes and stubbornly refused to look at my phone, turning the swollen side of his face towards me.

  I deleted the message.

  I know, it's Li Er.

  She knows my new mobile phone number.

  I didn't respond because I didn't know what to say. God is my witness, I really wanted to forget. But God must also know that I couldn't forget. Jump! ~!
