Wang Liangliang took a sip of cola and said, "Everything is strange!" He crossed his arms and looked at me, "Aren't you the one who usually loves drinking beer?"
"And..." He paused, "You don't usually act like this. You never refuse me."
I felt a jolt in my heart and pretended to be angry, "Is it not okay for me to not want to drink today?"
Wang Liangliang huffed, "I don't care; you have to drink today." He forcefully shoved a beer into my hand.
With no other choice, I returned to my seat. Liu Fang and Li Qian were looking at Wang Liangliang's newly bought tablet. Liu Fang glanced up at me, her eyes flickering slightly.
Wang Liangliang was drinking while playing mahjong. He had his legs crossed and was humming a little tune, his face already slightly flushed. I took a sip; it was icy cold and sent a jolt through my nerves.
I lost track of how many rounds we played, my mind wandering the whole time. They grew increasingly disinterested in the game and decided to stop playing mahjong. I sighed in relief and changed into a pair of slippers. The previous ones were soaked with cold sweat, making them uncomfortable to wear.
I walked into the kitchen, pulled out the electric grill, and prepared to start grilling meat. But there was one thing—I forgot to buy barbecue dipping sauce... I stood stiffly at the kitchen door, imagining Wang Liangliang's nagging and Liu Fang's expression when she noticed something was off with me.
Wang Liangliang would cross his arms, raise an eyebrow at me, and say, " brother Wei, what's wrong with you lately? Always forgetting things; are you going through early menopause?" Liu Fang would look at me thoughtfully, silently walking into the kitchen.
I seemed to foresee that she would open the lower compartment of the refrigerator and see what was inside. Then I would definitely hear her heart-wrenching scream. Just thinking about it made me break out in a cold sweat. No, I had to drag her downstairs to buy barbecue dipping sauce. But what if they opened the lower compartment of the refrigerator while I was away... What would I do?
The aroma of grilled meat spread throughout the room. The beef sizzled on the grill. In front of my eyes, I seemed to see Zhou Li... Yes, it was Zhou Li... She stood in front of me, arms crossed, just like when she was alive, looking at me with a mocking expression.
"Liu Wei, you're such an idiot. You can't even handle something so trivial; I'm really impressed by you." Zhou Li always did this. She always scolded me like this.
I impatiently retorted, "Stop nagging, okay!"
Zhou Li chuckled lightly, "What's wrong? Am I not allowed to say anything?"
"You can't even fit someone as small as me into the refrigerator properly; what else can you do?"
"With such a small task that you can't handle, are you afraid of me saying something? If you're not an idiot, then who is?"
Zhou Li's mouth was like a machine gun, chattering nonstop. I felt inexplicably irritated: "Shut up!"
Zhou Li glared at me: "Liu Wei, what do you want to do?"
"If you dare to scold me again, you dog, have you forgotten who has been taking care of you all along?"
I interrupted her: "Alright, alright, stop talking! It's so annoying!"
Zhou Li snorted, "I told you, just think about it. What if they see the three refrigerator drawers in the bedroom? What will happen then?"
I froze all over.
Oh no!
If they discover the three refrigerator drawers in the bedroom, I'm done for.
What am I going to do?
Zhou Li sneered, "See? I told you you're an idiot."
Ten minutes had passed.
Wang Liangliang was still complaining incessantly, "Are we buying this barbecue seasoning or not? When are we going to eat? I'm starving."
