The months of June and July were again the mature peak season of apricots.
A large apricot tree was planted in the yard on Wu's family grounds. By the end of June, the fragrant white apricots that were full on trees could bend the branches. Wu likes to eat apricots most of all. He goes to the apricot tree and sat down to eat. He can eat twice than a normal man and eat a pound of it.
This year, the company's affairs were busy. Wu did not have the spare time to stand under the apricot tree and eat apricots. After returning home, he took the apricots, picked them up and filled his bags. The two big bags were full and were put in Wu's car.
Wu's Ma went to the car next to Wu and anxiously asked, "Are you taking all those away?"
Wu said, "Who would eat them? You have diabetes and the doctor will not allow you to eat high-sugar fruits."
"I don't want to eat them." Wu Ma said. "But your little nephew loved eating them, did you forget it?"
Wu pulled his face down. "Aren't you already giving my sister a basket full of these things? Why do you badge me on this car? Do you feel bad about your grandson? Don't you feel sorry for your son?"
Wu's Ma wondered how the child changed his ways. Before, his father took his sister's apricots and Wu didn't mind as much.What happened to him and how did he learn to eat them?
There's no way that Wu had thought about himself before. He could only think about others first. Now that someone's life is better, the things he used to take for granted before, he remembers them currently.
"I still have to give Chi some apricots." Wu wanted to find a reason to occupy himself.
As soon as this was heard, Wu's Ma's brow broke open.
"You should have said it earlier! West house has still half a box of apricots. I specially collected it for Big Chi."
Wu said, "You're so eccentric! You're not happy that I picked two bags but you secretly collected a half-box for Chi?!"
"You kid! You don't like it?" Wu's Ma said.
Wu hit back and said, "You said you left a big box of apricots for Chi, why wouldn't I be happy about it?"
Wu felt depressed. Mother cares more for Chi?
On the way back home, Wu's Ma said, "Chi came to visit me two days ago. He also brought a doctor to check on me. He said that he would make the doctor visit me regularly at home to check my health. I don't have to go to the hospital in the province now. Why is Chi so good to me?"
Wu coughed twice to hide his uncomfortable feelings.
"He is good to everyone else."
Wu's Ma said, "So you went to see his parents?"
Wu almost bit his tongue. To see his parents? How can I have that courage?! Let's not talk about the status of his family but the responsibility of those 12 dildos instead. I can't afford it!
"That, I don't need to." Wu persuaded.
Wu's Ma frowned. "What is it that you don't need to do? Recently, I don't know anything about this kid (Wu)! Chi came here to see me. Don't you have enough shame to go and visit other people's parents? Is it inappropriate?"
"As nuisance as I am, you should take a look at Beijing News."
"What are you talking about?"
Wu shook his head. "No, I said his parents were too busy. I have to wait until they're free and I would go again."
Pulling a few pounds of fragrant white apricots back to the company, he weighed a bit before getting off the car. The half-carton was actually better than the two bags and Wu took a part of the half-box putting it in his own bag.
Even so, he saw the remaining apricots in the box and became a little restless.
Today is the day which Wu should routinely pick up Chi.
After Wu left from work, he drove into Chi's unit and was caught in a traffic jam all the way in the middle. When Wu was about to sneak, he stole a lot from that box.
As a result, waiting at the entrance of the Finance Bureau building, another half of apricots left went inside Wu's belly.
Chi just walked down the stairs when Wu put his head out of the car window.
"This is my home-made aromatic white apricots. Tell me if they taste good or not."
Afterwards, Wu threw one.
Chi directly caught it with his mouth, chew on it, swallowed and nodded.
"It tastes good."
Wu nearly fainted, "You won't spit out the big seed?"
Chi carelessly replied, "What about the seed?"
Fuck! I have never seen a man like this. Wu glanced at Chi.
Chi was about to go inside the car when Wu said in a hurry, "Don't get in the car first. Take the half-box of apricots behind you to your office and keep it for the next day."
"You hold your brother first." Chi said handing Xiao Chu Bao to Wu.
I don't know if it's a seasonal thing but Xiao Chu Bao is particularly clingy to people this month of every year. Chi always took him to the unit these days and usually hanged him to watch computer. Now, even the electricity intended for the office air-conditioning was saved.
Wu opened an apricot and found that there were insects inside which he sent to the mouth of Xiao Chu Bao.
Dabao eats apricots, Erbao eats bugs and the warm and loving family is complete. Chi thought.
Chi walked out with the box when he met Li Zhiling who had just came out of the building.
It was a coincidence that he had encountered her. It was fate to meet her twice. He had to say something when he meets her. Wu couldn't help but think, I only come once a week in which every time, I happened to meet her. Is it clear that someone is lucky to meet her every day?
"Oh, so clever!" Li Zhiling smiled and greeted him.
Chi pointed towards her signaling that she needs to take a step inside. Li Zhiling really held him back.
"What's in your box? I can smell it!"
Chi answered shortly, "Apricots."
When an average person is asked this way, he will say this sentence: "You also try it!"
But Chi didn't speak this way, it proved that he didn't want to give Li the apricots to eat. But Li Zhiling didn't think so, she thought that Chi doesn't offer her the fruit as a matter of personality. She should not be arrogant and enthusiastic about such men so she took the initiative to open her mouth for him.
"Wow! I'll try it too."
Wu's face twisted like abdominal cramps. How can you just take those? What we usually eat is not just for special purposes but also for our poor people's home soil. My excitement was for what?
Li Zhiling directly put her hand into the box and took out one sending it to her mouth.
"It's not washed." Chi reminded.
Li Zhiling did not mind. "It's nothing. When you look at it, it's natural and pollution-free. You certainly haven't sprayed any pesticide."
Wu chewed his teeth and blinked his eyes.
After Li Zhiling finished eating one, she shouted "It's delicious" and put her hand into the box.
If he wasn't in peacetime, Chi must've definitely raised his feet. If you love to say hello to me, then it's okay and let me go. Anyway, the things that Dabao gives him are never given out. But this day, Wu looking at this scene, Chi can not stomach it. Who would have the courage to steal Wu's especially-given food to Chi? Such bravery.
As a result, Chi directly stuffed some on Li Zhiling's clothing pocket and dragged the box away.
Wu's face darkened at once. You were afraid that I would not give her any food and you even dare to give her one?! Looking at Li's bulging skirt pocket, Wu's heart was in distress.
However, when Chi got into the car, Wu was alright again.
They laughed like they normally do. No one else should mention it at all.
On the second day, Wu had a great morning. For nothing else, he decided to drive Chi and explore the enemy.
Sure enough, as he expected, after the car had just drove to the door of the unit, Li Zhiling emerged from somewhere.
"Have you eaten breakfast already?" She was carrying a bag in her hand, "You can have the custard soup that my nanny made."
Chi said indifferently, "I have eaten."
Seeing that Li Zhiling was going to follow Chi, Wu put his head out of the door and deliberately whistled.
Li Zhiling looked around unconsciously, her eyes fixed on Wu.
Wu knew quite a lot about Chi's speed. At this moment, he was surely on the third floor and he shouted to Li Ling-ling with confidence. "I haven't eaten my breakfast yet."
Li Zhiling pointed to herself with a finger. "Are you calling me?"
"Does this floor have anyone other than you?"
Li Zhiling had a faint heart but she did not show it too much. She walked in front of Wu's car with some restraint and asked tentatively, "You just called me."
"Oh!" Wu said with great joy.
Li Zhiling was furious. "What is it? What do you want er?"
Wu was laughing badly. "You don't know yet?"
Li Zhiling's cheeks became red. "You called me here and you haven't said a word to me yet."
Wu sneered and assured that it was a dead trick.
However, he spoke sweetly. "Is it not something that can be said sooner or later?"
"You and Chi are what?" Li Zhiling nervously tested the waters.
I mean, what can you tell me about him?
The anger in Wu's eyes flashed and he continued to be mad. "I'm still hungry and I can't think of anything to say."
Li Zhiling dubbed. "Well then, I will give this to you."
Then she gave him the food.
Wu was not really hungry, he was just playing with her.
"You know why he didn't eat when you tried to give him the soup dumplings?"
Li Zhiling said, "Did he not have breakfast?"
Wu said, "No. He doesn't like buns."
Li Zhiling's eyes lit up. "What does he like to eat?"
"More of mixed-breed European beans, fried rice cakes, pistachio, melon seeds, string of incense kinds of food." Wu said a bunch of his own favorite foods.
"He still likes to eat snacks?" Li Zhiling was quite surprised.
In fact, Chi's favorite snack is dried tofu but Wu has not mentioned it.
Li Zhiling soon entered the next big supermarket. In order to put the "good guys" to the end, Wu also followed her in. Even Chi's love for that brand, he told to Li Zhiling.
After Li Zhiling left, Wu bought another one for what she had bought.
When she went to Chi's office, Chi was absent and the door to his office was close.
Li Zhiling put the things on the desk beside Chi's door leaving a note.
"I'll give you a good meal!"
Then Wu did not go out from the office.
He was waiting for Chi to return. The slipped note disappeared and there were two big bags of snacks on the table. Chi often received these items but basically threw them into other offices to be given for free. Because the person who gave the gift is definitely in this unit, his purpose in doing this is to imply that Chi is not interested with this kind of meaningless thing.
As a result for today, the gifts are all someone's favorite.
So his eyes changed and he took the gifts for the first time.
