After work, when Chi walked into an elevator, Zhang from the next department stepped in as well.

There were only two of them in the elevator, Zhang was trying to find a topic to talk about.

'Today's Thursday, Wu's coming to fetch you right?'

Chi ignored him and walked out the elevator with a black face.

Standing outside the building, Chi was thinking about where to settle for dinner tonight, another colleague of his came up to him to flirt, 'Mr. Chi, you're waiting for Wu to come, right?'

Chi took a glance at her, the colleague immediately ran away.

He drove to a small neighbourhood, Chi wanted to go down and buy some food, he passed by a fast food shop and the boss was standing just right outside the shop. When she saw Chi, she went up to ask about what he's up to recently.

'You finished your work? Come in and have a look, we have freshly cooked venison.'

Chi walked in and took a look or two at the array of food in front of him, there's a tray full of braised duck wings that Wu likes.

The lady noticed that Chi was staring at the duck wings so she asked, 'Do you want some?'

Chi nodded.

'How much do you want?' she asked.

Chi replied, 'Just add how much you think it's enough.'

The lady said while filling up the bag with wings, 'You are so different from Wu when you are buying stuff, if it were to be Wu, he will never say it's up to me. He will say: "Give me nine of them, not one less or more." If I gave him more he will never say anything to me; if I gave him lesser, he will definitely add on something else, he will stare at the weighing balance till he's satisfied with the number then he would pay for it.'

Her husband also joined in the conversation.

'Wu is especially funny, he always buys 9 of anything that he buys, I asked him why not buy 10 of them? He said there are two of you are eating 4 each, he can't split it if he buys 10. I say how can you split between you two with 9 wings? And how can't you split with 10 wings? Isn't four each person equals to 8 of them? Then he secretly told me to spread chilli sauce all over the largest wing for himself, hahaha...'

The lady boss laughed along as well, 'Yeah, by the time I return his change he would've already finished the wing, he even told me before leaving the shop, if one day a tall guy came to the shop, don't tell him that he ate the wing by himself.'

The boss added, 'Especially not about when he ate chilli sauce.'

'Yeah yeah yeah.'

'Hahaha...'

The two were joking around with Chi without restraining, no one has noticed that Chi's expression is really bad right now.

Before he left, the lady boss even asked Chi.

'I haven't seen Wu for quite some time now, did he move away?'

Chi hummed in response.

'Hey...I say, he used to pop by every other day, I actually do miss him now that he's not here. Last time he said he wanted to eat some glutinous rice but it was sold out, I told him to come the next day but I've never seen him since then...'

The lady boss was still engrossed in her own narrative, Chi has already left the shop.

When Wu was still here, Chi would buy some ingredients back and the two of them would make a mess in the kitchen, one would wash the ingredients the other would make the noodles, no matter what the result turned out to be they would be happy to eat it anyway. But now it's only him, he doesn't even step in the kitchen anymore, the potatoes that Wu bought before leaving were still there, it doesn't rot easily in winter but most of them have grown sprouts already.
