Xie Yizun ran all the way to the entrance of McDonald's, stood at the door, and saw the people inside eating chicken with big bites, they seemed super happy.
He himself hesitated at the moment of pushing the door.
Three years of strict dietary rules and constant reminders have fostered a habit of restraint that is affecting him.
Xie Yizun, wrapped in a thick down jacket and wearing a mask, stood at the door of McDonald's, watched the happy diners inside, and fervently thought about his own unhappiness before finally pushing the door hard to go in.
He went straight to the cashier, looked at the familiar menu he hadn't seen in a while, and wanted to eat everything, but in the end, he restrained himself and only ordered a McCrispy Chicken.
The store was filled with groups of people dining, and only one seat near the trash can by the window was available.
