Moreover, the innkeeper described her as a cold woman who only followed business logic and work principles. I can understand this, because she is a very insightful woman who never talks nonsense, and even in daily life, she seems a bit too indifferent.

I really wanted to talk more with the innkeeper about her story, but due to time constraints, we only had a brief chat before I said goodbye and went to the room she had stayed in before, with my room key in hand.

As a man, I'm bound to be a little curious about a woman's room, especially since Ye Zhi is a very mysterious woman. So, after entering the room, I subconsciously took a few more glances.

Actually, she's just like any other woman; she uses cosmetics, owns many outfits, and has menstrual products. It seems the mystery isn't really about her life, but rather her closed-mindedness—and that's precisely what's most captivating.

I looked away, then opened the bedside table and found the keys to her Mercedes-Benz G-Class among a pile of business cards.

...

At 10:30, I drove Ye Zhi's car to the airport, and at 12:00, I picked up Taozi. The moment we met, she gave me a very tight hug. After letting go, she looked up at the sky over Dali for a long time, then exclaimed to me, "Is this Dali?... It's like a dream!"

I smiled and replied, "I've been spending too much time in the bright lights of big cities... It's nice to come here and see the blue sky and white clouds... How long do you plan to stay in Dali this time?"

"Three days."

I was a little disappointed and said, "Are you alright? You came all this way and only got three days of fun!"

Peach replied with a helpless expression, "These three days were squeezed out... Our job isn't very flexible, so I'm already very satisfied that I was able to come and see the place that Leilei used to talk about so much before she passed away!"

I understood her helplessness, so I smiled and said to her, "Three days is fine too, the main thing is to have fun."

"Then you have to show me around Dali properly."

"Sure, I'll take you to a place to eat first. The environment is really nice, I guarantee you won't want to leave once you're there."

As I spoke, I took the suitcase from her and led her to the parking lot until we were both standing next to Ye Zhi's G-Class. I opened the back door and put her luggage inside.

She asked me incredulously, "Is this your car?"

“It’s a friend’s car in Shanghai. She happened to be back in Shanghai, so I borrowed her car.”

"You have such wealthy friends in Shanghai? That car is worth almost 3 million!"

We met on the way to Dali.

Peach smiled and replied, "Your luck has started to turn around as soon as you arrived in Dali. The person who lent you such an expensive car must be someone special. Tell me, is he a man or a woman?"
