"Ah, open your mouth -"
"Rogelio, you are so excellent. You can chew it by yourself..."
I saw the video that Susie sent to me, smile on my face all the time.
Although the food was just liquid, Rogelio no longer needed to sniff and stomach tube. Instead, he could open his mouth and deliver the food as requested.
I didn't expect that Rogelio could recover so soon.
I put the phone back in my pocket with a smile. I couldn't remember how many times I had watched it.
I sat in a corner of the street. Taking off the mask, I ate the takeout I had just bought.
But when I realized that there was someone else who was stopping beside me, I quickly put on my mask.
The man didn't leave. I looked up and found it was Robbie.
I patted my heart and said, "Oh, it's you?"
During my injury, Robbie and Rosie came to visit me a lot. Maybe it was because we had spent more time with each other, I was not as stiff as I used to be.
Robbie hadn't changed. Although he talked longer, his tone was still as cold as ice.
"The doctor said that your arm needs to rest for at least a month. Why do you come out again? Don't you know this is more harm than good? "
I smiled, "it's just giving out leaflets. It doesn't matter. I can take a little less a time."
"I can't make much money by this. I'll find a decent job after my recovery."
I looked at Robbie. I don't know why, but every time I saw his iceberg like face, I felt very friendly. Maybe it was because he looked very much like Rogelio.
"I want to pay back the money as soon as possible."
Robbie sat next to me, slightly bent his body, with his arms on his legs, his fingers interlocked, and turned his head to look at me, with a touch of emotion that I couldn't understand flashing in his eyes.
Robbie seemed to adjust his tone and asked me. "Why do you wear the mask when you eat?"
I smiled helplessly. "Last time, I helped Rosie a lot. And some of the advertisements have not been replaced yet. Someone asked me if I am the same person. I know my job now isn't decent. I don't want to ruin Rosie's design because of some bad news, so... "
I didn't want to say anything more.
"Oh, I almost forget. Please accept it."
Then I took out my phone and transferred two thousand to Robbie through wechat.
Looking at the red packet on the wechat, Robbie didn't receive it. "How come there is so much?"
It was quite rare to hear two thousand is much from someone like Robbie.
"It's far from 180000. If I give the money back to you in such a small amount, do you mind?"
"You only earn 3000 a month!"
I didn't try to guess the tone of Robbie. I just hoped he wouldn't mind if I gave him back in such a small amount.
"I intended to pay you 500 more, but I bought some anti-inflammatory and painkillers. I don't have enough money."
I apologetically lowered my head and swayed the food with chopsticks.
Staring at the red packet for a few minutes, Robbie finally took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I'll take it."
I was very happy to see that Robbie was willing to receive it, just as when he took over the wage card.
From my point of view, he does this out of respect for me.
"Let's eat."
Then Robbie stood up.
I thought he was leaving, but he picked up the leaflets near me.
Could you imagine such a scene? A tall and handsome man, in an Italian handmade suit, stood on the street giving out leaflets.
