as pure as a radish

There is a huge difference between raw meat and cooked meat.The cooked chicken has a trace of texture, while the raw chicken seems to be like a piece of gummy, or soup gummy, and the squeezing of the teeth makes it splash one after another in my mouth.The fishy juice is inescapable. It fills my mouth and finally flows through my throat to my stomach.

When I swallowed for the first time, my stomach suddenly turned, but I didn't stop. I just chewed harder and swallowed again. After a few times, the strong feeling of vomiting was suppressed instead.

I gave the black dog the remaining meat of this chicken leg, and it chewed the soup gummy with me, and the red juice flowed from the corner of its mouth.I immediately wiped the corner of my mouth with the back of my hand, and it was also a pool of blood.

Then, I wiped the corner of the black dog's mouth with my sleeve. After the sleeve was wet with blood, I gave it another chicken leg.The two of us shared food inside the barbed wire like this, and after a while my backs and sleeves could no longer wipe off the blood from the corners of my mouth and mine.Because there is slippery blood all over the place, more and more smeared.

I gave the last piece of meat to the black dog, and he ate it quickly. Seeing that my hands were empty, he came up to lick my hands.After a while, my hands, which had been dyed dark red, returned to the original flesh color of the skin.

I looked out of the barbed wire, and the black dog followed my gaze.

"Do you still want to eat?" I asked it lightly.

There were not many people left watching us outside the barbed wire fence, and the few remaining people left after hearing my question about the black dog.Sun Siru was sitting in the first row, she hadn't left yet, her eyes were staring.

The black dog barked at her, Sun Siru seemed to shrink back, and left soon...

"What are we going to eat later?" Gita asked.

I looked back at my watch, it was [-]:[-], it was time for lunch break.

"Downstairs shrimp pot?"

Others followed suit.Others suggested a combination of shrimp and chicken legs.

As soon as twelve o'clock came, they all left. I sat at my desk and didn't go with them. Of course, none of them wanted to call me.

It hurt when I cleaned the wound at home that night, but I'm not sure whether it hurt more when I cut the flesh or when I cleaned the wound and applied medicine to the wound, or if this level of pain is never equal.

Later, I lay in bed until the early hours of the morning before realizing that I could take some painkillers to save myself, but by then my pillow was already drenched with sweat.After taking the medicine, I moved to the window and looked at the dark sky.Will it find a way out?I remembered that I left with the black dog, and when I walked halfway, I suddenly felt uneasy. When I turned around, the black dog had disappeared.I have no way of knowing whether it left on its own or was snatched back by its former owner who had come to his senses.

My phone vibrated suddenly, I was so fascinated by the thought, the vibration made my heart beat violently.But when I saw the name on the screen, I calmed down a bit. "Why?" I asked Wen Yue in a casual and deep voice.

Wen Yue: "I don't have to go to the studio in the afternoon, do you want to have dinner together?"

"There is nothing to eat." This is the truth in my heart.

Wen Yue: "At least eat something, in fact, you are really not fat, so you don't have to think about losing weight~"

Me: "I really don't want to eat..."

Wen Yue: "How about something to drink? Juice? Coffee? Yogurt? Or..."

I interrupted him, "Stop, stop, I'm afraid of you. If you're not afraid of waiting, pick a restaurant you want to eat and send me the address."

Wen Yue: "I'm just outside your park, come down. It doesn't matter if it takes longer, I have a lot of time today."

After hanging up the phone, I rolled up my pants and looked at the wound on my calf. The white gauze was tightly wrapped, and there was no sign of blood seeping out.There will be no omissions in these, as long as I can hold back the pain, no one can see that I have a wound on my calf.

Walking out of the park, I saw Wen Yue at the roadside station.He quickly spotted me, waved at me, and ran towards me.Let him run over today, even if I can bear the pain, I can't walk faster than someone who wasn't injured.

"I've already said I've lost my appetite~" I complained, and quietly wiped off the sweat oozing from my forehead and neck.At this time, I couldn't squeeze out a good-natured smile, or complaining could cover up the ugly expression I might show at any time.

"Why is your face so pale?" Wen Yue still found something.

"I put on makeup." I prevaricated.

He shook his head, "It's not that white..."

"Go wherever you want to eat, you don't have to go to work in the afternoon, I still have to go." I don't want to discuss the issue of my complexion, besides, my wound is starting to hurt, I can't wait to find a seat and rest meeting.

"Just over there." Wen Yue pointed to a restaurant on the side of the road, "It looks pretty good. It's also convenient for you to go to work."

"Let's go then." I said.But it was hard for me to pick up the pace.

Wen Yue walked a few steps and found that I was lagging behind, "Hey, you said to go faster..."

"You just go, leave me alone." I felt irritable in pain.

Wen Yue didn't leave, she turned back and walked beside me.We walked a few steps side by side, and he turned his head to look at me several times, and finally he couldn't help asking, "Are you hot? You're sweating too much, right?"

"Yes, I am very hot." I don't want to explain.

"The air conditioner should be turned on inside." Wen Yue gave me a hand.

I couldn't stride forward like a normal person at all, and he almost fell down when he pulled me.He hurriedly supported me, "What's wrong with you?"

"It's okay." I replied, frowning.

Wen Yue: "No, no, no, is there something wrong with you?"

I hope the wound is not bleeding, I try to take a step, "Go! Don't waste time."

In the restaurant, Wen Yue ate and I drank boiled water.He always looks at me while eating, and I have to bear the pain of my wound, and it is really hard to be watched, "Concentrate on eating your food, don't look at me!"

"I just want to know if you're alright." Wen Yue was still a little aggrieved.

"I can't die." I put down the water glass.

Wen Yue thought for a while and asked me, "What time do you get off work in the afternoon?"

Me: "Six o'clock, what's the matter?"

"How about..." Wen Yue paused, "I'm wandering around, I'll take you back then, I don't think you look like you can go back alone."

"Don't underestimate me." I folded my arms.

"Really no need?" Wen Yue put down the chopsticks and looked at me seriously.

"Of course." I insisted.

Wen Yue nodded thoughtfully, picked up the chopsticks to pick up the vegetables, and just put them into her own bowl, the chopsticks were put down again, "But I still think you are weird today..."

"Just take care of yourself, don't worry about other people's faults." I continued to drink water.

"Of course I don't care about other people, but you..." Wen Yue paused again.

I somehow felt that I would hear something very different, so I raised my eyes and stared at him unconsciously.

"But you..." Wen Yue didn't look at me, repeated these three words, and looked down on the table for something.In the end, he just picked up the chopsticks, "You are my friend..."

Friend... these two words are indeed very different to my ears.

I haven't had a friend for 16 years.
