How can I help?

"I'll tell you later... Go to sleep now, we have to drive a long way tomorrow, it'll be very tiring."

"Okay, you should go to sleep too."

Ye Zhi replied with a smiley face and a sleeping emoji... But for some reason, I felt an inexplicable distance between us... This feeling was subtle; I knew it shouldn't exist, but it just came. Just as there's never been a person in the world who could completely control themselves from external influences, I'm just an ordinary person. There are some things I don't say, but they're very real in my heart.

...

I put my phone aside, turned off all the lights in the room, and tried to create a peaceful atmosphere for sleep, but I just couldn't fall asleep. I had insomnia, even though I had always thought of myself as someone with a high tolerance for stress.

The phone flickered with a faint light again.

I opened it and saw that it was a message from Yang Sisi, who had been out of contact for several days.

She questioned, "Didn't you block me? Why did you add me back as a friend... Your skin is thicker than a city wall!"

I tried to calm myself down and replied, "If there were no city walls to protect me, wouldn't I be just like you, a person with a fragile heart!"

"What do you mean? Not only have you skinned me alive, but you're also mocking me, is that it?"

"I'm just stating a fact... You don't know how to cherish life, you don't know how to cherish yourself... and you don't know how worried others are about you!"

"I don't need cheap worries... I don't want to keep cheap people in my heart."

"I admire your eloquence... but with such great talent, why don't you try to persuade yourself? The things you're doing are quite childish and immature, aren't they?"

"What, are you planning to send me back to elementary school for another round of re-education?"

I pursed my lips, then felt a bit angry. This Yang Sisi was just too willful!

Just then, she sent another message, but the context had clearly changed. She said, "If there really were a time machine that could take me back to the past... I would rather I had never met you... If there were such a time machine... I still couldn't help but miss you... even if you were only a little bit kind to me!"
