I think that if I ultimately choose to return to Shanghai, the energy of this impulse will undoubtedly be enormous, because it will allow me to overcome my fear of the past. I can imagine that if I return to Shanghai, I will definitely be reminded of those who have gone far away and the youth that I have failed because of a familiar scene.

Yes, youth was heavy for me, and love wasn't beautiful either... In Shanghai, all I can remember is the pain of fearing failure and the future, which is why I insist on not going back, and I'm even more unwilling to passively touch those past experiences that are no longer related to me.

...

After strolling around the ancient city, night fell... But for Dali, night is not an end, but a beginning. Many people who enjoy nightlife choose their favorite bars at this time and begin to indulge every cell in their bodies.

Before I knew it, I had wandered into the bar street. I wanted to find Peach and see what kind of environment her new job was like.

I don't know which bar she works at, but the bar street isn't very long, so if I look carefully, I should be able to find her.

I walked to the middle of the bar street, and then in front of a bar, I saw a figure that looked like Peach. As I got closer, I realized it really was her... But I didn't call out to her right away. Instead, I stood in a more crowded area and watched her every move.

I saw her hand a necklace and a handbag to a woman, who then took out her phone and scanned a QR code on her phone; the transaction was completed, and the woman left, but Peach looked a little lonely.

It's pretty clear now, Peach is selling her own stuff...

...

I walked quickly towards Peach, stopped in front of her, and asked her in a serious tone, "What are you doing?"

Peach's panic vanished in an instant, and she smiled at me, saying, "I work at this bar next door... What brings you here?"

“That’s not what I’m asking… I just saw you hand the bag and jewelry to that woman… What are you trying to do?”

"Hehe... I don't need these unused items anyway, so I'll just get rid of them cheaply."

"Why are you doing this... I'm not blind. That bag is from a big brand. You yourself wouldn't normally take it out to use."

Peach still smiled and said, "When I used to work in nightclubs, I needed these things to increase my value... Now that I'm working honestly, these things really don't mean anything to me."

Looking at her forced smile, I finally sighed, "If Tie Nan ever dares to let you down... I will absolutely not let him get away with it!"

I said this with determination, because behind Taozi selling bags and jewelry, I saw a woman with a heart full of no regrets.
