Chapter 13 Forced Leave
Because of his injuries Hanyang was forced to take half a day off.
When it was time for work he walked to the door as usual, then suddenly turned back. For the first time he asked, "What are you planning to do today?"
I pointed at the dog. "I'm going to make him a wheelchair so he doesn't drag his lower body. It's too dirty when he goes to the bathroom like that."
Hanyang glanced at the clean dog and nodded. "Don't tire yourself out."
"Hanyang, I'll buy you a phone tomorrow. I saved some money from work. I can't contact you without one."
He paused. "No need. I'll buy it myself."
Not long after he left I received a call from home.
"You little brat, you're not studying anymore? I don't care where you are. Get back here right now."
I had long prepared for my dad finding out. I answered casually and hung up.
Looking at Zhaocai whimpering at my feet, I somehow thought of Hanyang looking pitiful while being beaten.
"Let's go. We'll take a walk outside."
