Another Me (七月与安生)

Mom. Sis still hasn't come out?

When she came home yesterday, it seemed she was mulling over something.

No way. Wasn't it getting better these days.

But she is not eating enough. Look at how skinny she is.

Don't worry, maybe she had too much stress a while ago,

and now she is suddenly relaxed, so she is sleeping more.

Maybe she is upset because I nagged her some at the dinner table last time?

When did you say her?

Last time, because Jiaming has returned, so I said a little to her.

When did this happen? Only you still remember.

Then what's wrong?

Don't over think. She is probably sleeping in.

How about this? I'll go wake her up.

Go.

Sis. Wake up. Time to eat.

Sis.

Then I'm coming in.

Sis. Wake up, time to eat.

What time is it?

11:45.

How did I sleep for so long?

How am I supposed to know? Mom already finished making food.

Hurry up, wash up and come downstairs to eat.

I will go down soon.

You came Qi Yue.

Where is dad?

Your dad left early this morning to take care of some things.

Hurry, wash your face and brush your teeth so you can eat.

I won't wash then, will eat first.

Ok. Eat first.

Look. Look at the way you are eating.

If outsiders see you, they'll think that I don't feed you.

Mom. I'm not Qi Yue.

All boys eat like that. Doesn't dad also eat like this?

You don't learn anything good, but learn all the bad things.

Mom, are you going to let me eat?

When did I not let you eat food?

What's wrong?

Mom. It's fine.

It's always like this. Maybe my stomach doesn't feel good.

Then, don't eat anything greasy tonight.

I'll cook some congee for you.

Sis. Did you

do something bad?

Mom. She hit me.

She hit you right. You deserve it.

Letting you say random stuff.

Yep.

You all bully me.

Hurry and eat. Big crabs, you like eating them.

What do you think my sister is thinking about these days?

She has been walking so close with Jia Ming.

But I always feel like she hasn't put down Han Dong.

Who does she like?

Talk.

What are you thinking?

I'm not thinking of anything.

You're not...

I'm not what?

What's your feeling toward Su Jia Ming?

I You what?

Don't like and not annoyed.

What does not like and not annoyed mean?

It means no feeling.

That's right.

What?

What are you doing?

Looking at you.

If you keep looking, I'll throw you inside a cage.

Jiu Yue.

Scared me.

Go tell An Sheng tomorrow 12 o'clock

I will be at the coffee shop near the hospital waiting for her.

You say who?

Forget it if you didn't hear.

Heard it.

Then hurry and come with me to call.

Ok.

You can't go. Ok?

Hello? An Sheng, my sister wants to meet with you tomorrow.

Really?

Of course it's real. I wouldn't use this to trick you.

She said tomorrow 12 o'clock

meeting you at the coffee shop near the animal hospital.

But I'm worried.

Will you two get into a big argument?

No way.

Then remember.

Ok. Rest early.

Qi Yue. What do you want to drink?

An Sheng. Are you and Jiu Yue better?

You followed me?

You can follow me, but I can't follow you?

I followed you because I was worried about you.

Worried about what? Worried that I won't get married.

You know that's not it.

So, are you and Jiu Yue together?

An Sheng.

Are you serious towards Jiu Yue?

What do you mean?

If you are just playing with Jiu Yue

Qi Yue.

Do you really think I'm so shallow?

Qi Yue. Take care of yourself.

Your health is weak and your stomach is in bad shape. Don't eat only cold things.

Drink more hot water. I'm leaving first.

Where are you going? Are you going to leave again?

Lately my mom has cooked too much.

Can't finish it all.

Why don't you come over for dinner tonight?

You. I was tricking you.

You aren't mad at me. Mad.

You are a cooked duck, all you have left is your mouth.

Where? You are getting more similar to Jiu Yue.

I am not childish like him.

You are more immature.

Li An Sheng. Do you still want to come to my house to eat?

Yes. Let's go. I still have to work my shift this afternoon.

Ok.

After getting off work, I'll go to your house.

Ok. We will wait for you to eat dinner together.

It's you. You don't even arrive one minute early.

Mom. Dad. Look who came.

An Sheng?

Dad. Hello.

An Sheng is here. An Sheng?

Sister. So good.

You crazy kid, you'll hurt your sister.

Why are you hugging me? Go hug your Ansheng.

I mean that you can see me everyday

but An Sheng hasn't come over in so long.

You have to hug her.

An Sheng. An Sheng sis.

So happy.

- So excited and happy. - So excited.

An Sheng. You are just in time for dinner, you can't leave.

Godmother and I will cook something good for you.

Get An Sheng some water.

Ok.

Fruits. Both of you take care of Ansheng. Play well, ok?

Take care of An Sheng.

Look at your silly son.

Scared me so. I was so nervous.

Nervous about what?

How can I not me nervous.

You scared me.

Let's play fight the landlord (card game).

- Childish. - Annoying. - Shallow.

I bought that game where you push the teeth down and close. Let's play that.

How old are you that you can still play those games?

Can we play something else?

Let's play selfie. That's more like it.

Selfie is ok.

You move over a little.

1,2,3

Do you still need this onion?

No need.

Why won't it turn on?

Forgot.

I bought gas but didn't put it in.

I was saying.

What is this?

One day, if Ansheng wants to know who her father is,

Just do it for me and

help me open this box for her

How many dishes are they making? We can't finish eating them. Don't be wasteful.

- Yes, we can eat them. - If we can't, can you finish? - With you around, we can finish.

I'm not a pig.

You can pour more of that for Jiuyue. He likes drinking it.

It looks enough. I'll pour more for you.

Let me help you.

Go get the food and don't be bothersome.

Then pour me more.

- How much more do you want? - A lot.

He can drink two glasses. Fill it up.

All filled.

Red braised pork.

Be careful, it's hot.

There is even Stir-fried Chicken with Peanuts.

- I'll fill the rice. - Okay.

Give you a chance to look good.

Godfather, hurry and sit.

An Sheng. Hurry and sit.

Godmother, come out to eat. Food is getting cold.

TIme to eat.

It's so rare to see Jiuyue being so helpful.

I'm happy.

Mom, hurry up. Hurry, hurry.

You are the last one.

Sit, sit. Come, come.

Let's toast and celebrate that Ansheng has come to eat here again.

- Cheers! - Mom.

Raise your glass, Mom.

Come. Cheers!

Cheers!

You filled this too full.
