I didn't expect that the thin and tall person in front of me would be so impolite. It seemed like he hadn't eaten for days, as the meat hadn't even reached my mouth before the plate was already cleared.
I looked at him helplessly, hoping he would say something. His first words were, "Not enough meat, add some more. Let me eat my fill first, and you should eat too. Since you've treated me as a friend, be a good person to the end!"
The people at the other tables nearby all turned to look in our direction, and there were waves of mocking and jeering voices.
Jonas is really bold, and I'm becoming more and more interested in this person. I went straight to the kitchen and exchanged for a large plate, filled with fragrant beef chunks, and placed it in the middle of our table.
I didn't say anything, just looked at his expression.
He didn't say anything either, just gave me a thumbs up, probably appreciating my generosity. We smiled at each other and started eating.
When he was almost full, his words began to pour out.
"Young man, no, you have a name, Xiao Bei! Do you think I'm a scoundrel, a drunkard, a beggar! You must look down on me, you've heard some voices, haven't you!"
"I cannot make any judgment about you because I don't know you. But I feel that you are a very genuine person who doesn't lie, and that's why I'm willing to communicate with you."
"Haha, the moment I saw you, I felt like there must be some story between us. I really want to start a conversation with you and be your friend. No matter how you see me, I still have another identity. I am a father, a father of five children. You probably didn't expect that, right!" Jonas laughed excitedly.
"The father of five children, that's really something. You must have a very happy family!"
"But I'm not a good father. Do you know how I support my family? I beg everywhere, sometimes I can't even get enough food for one of my children to eat. Isn't that ridiculous!" He suddenly picked up a glass of wine and drank it down.
"I'm so glad you invited me to this big meal today. It's been a long time since I've had diced meat, and I haven't had a proper meal for several days. Do you still think I'm good? Do you have a new understanding of me, thinking that I'm an incompetent man?"
"Look at him, saying all these things. Not mentioning the most despicable thing, he really is not a good person!" There were murmurs from the side again.
"I think you must have encountered something that's making life very unsatisfactory for you."
"Child, I am a husband and a father to the children. I am working hard to provide them with a good life. Do you believe me?" Jonas stared at me intently.
I didn't say anything. This time, I looked at his sunken cheekbones and felt a surge of sympathy. I picked up a glass of wine and drank it all in one go.
"I have a grown-up daughter who is very beautiful. You haven't met her, but if you do, you will definitely like her!"
His words made me think of Lisa, I haven't heard from her in years, I know we will never meet again. I should let go of this. It seems that after Elder Yu died, Lisa's place in my world became less important, if it weren't for Jonas mentioning his daughter, I don't think I would have thought of Lisa. I couldn't help but pick up another glass of wine and drink it down.
