The color white was given to Bai Lu because her surname was Bai.

The blue color was given to Tina, who is a foreigner and has heard that the seas abroad are very blue.

The purple one is for Nicole.

After passing them around, there were still several left. So I gave the one that looked most like a cassock to Coach Ma. Although it was also women's clothing, he had transcended worldly concerns and gender distinctions, so I figured he wouldn't mind.

I will send it to him by express delivery to Jizu Mountain, with "Amitabha" written on it.

The green one is for Chen Jin.

...

Lying in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, I thought about chatting with someone on WeChat, but then I felt like I had nothing to talk about with anyone. I don't know if it's just me, or if everyone feels this way at certain times.

I feel like I'm living in a lost city, growing desolate and overgrown with weeds along with it, weathering storms and rain...

A little while later, Yu Tou called me. When I answered, he said with uncontrollable joy, "I'm planning to stay in Dali and not leave. Sisi, do you have the key to a house with you?"

I was taken aback for a moment, then asked in return, "Who told you that?"

"Sisi, she agreed to rent the house to me."

I don't doubt the veracity of what Yu Tou said, because only a handful of people know that Yang Sisi bought a house here. I certainly didn't tell them; it could only be Yang Sisi herself who told him.

I asked again, "How much is it per month?"

Thirty thousand.

I exclaimed, "This is too expensive! Even unscrupulous real estate agents wouldn't offer this price!"

Fish Head laughed: "I don't care. As long as I can stay in her house, I can take advantage of the proximity... Hurry up and give me the key, I'll move in tomorrow."

"I definitely can't give it to you tonight."

"Why can't you give it to me?"

I paused for a moment, then lied and replied, "I'm not in Dali right now. I'll bring it to you when I get back. You can stay at the inn for a few days."

"No way! ...We even bumped into each other and had breakfast together this morning."

I replied in an even more exaggerated tone than Fish Head: "That's amazing... Many decisions in life are made on a whim, just like your decision to stay in Dali on a whim."

Yu Tou had nothing to say, so I advised him not to be impatient, because in life there is not only the saying "being near the water tower makes one the first to get the moon", but also the ancient proverb "haste makes waste".

...

After ending the call with Yu Tou, my mindset changed. I wanted to try giving Yang Sisi a surprise and see what it would feel like.

I promised to visit her in Shanghai, and she never expected it to be tonight. This is the real surprise.

Moreover, I will be even more ruthless than her. She came to have breakfast with me, while I went to Shanghai to bring her the breakfast I made myself.

I don't want to overcomplicate things. I just want Yang Sisi to know that I will treat her even better than she has ever treated me!

Furthermore, I am a man who keeps his promises.

...

The more I thought about it, the more excited I became. I immediately got out of bed, went to the kitchen and made a bowl of congee with preserved egg and lean pork that Yang Sisi liked, and packed it into a thermal container. Then, I booked a flight to Shanghai for 4:30 a.m., just in time for breakfast in the morning.

Just as I had made all the preparations for going to Shanghai, I suddenly realized a very serious problem: Yang Sisi was in a hurry to return to Shanghai because she was going abroad with her father. Could she have already left?

Not at all. In my opinion, traveling long distances abroad is an extremely tiring thing. She would definitely rest in Shanghai for a night before setting off.

I could have called to confirm, but that would have ruined the surprise, so after thinking it over, I decided to try my luck... If I really don't run into her, I'll just consider it a trip to Shanghai.

I have no reason to be disappointed, because for me, being able to do so many things in my life driven by a sudden whim is already very memorable.

Moreover, there's a good chance she didn't leave.

...

After calming down, I set off into the night in Dali, carrying a thermal box, and drove my Jimny towards the Dali airport.
