A three-nothing youth, dumped by his girlfriend, flees the city to open an inn in Dali.
As his business is difficult to develop, he experiences a pure love story of red and white roses, with ...
Ye Zhi seemed to have made a great decision before she spoke to me, "Okay, anyway, the rules aren't just targeting me. But what if you lose? What punishment will you receive?"
"If I lose, then the punishment is for me to watch you walk the catwalk."
"How can someone be so shameless?!"
I replied with a smile, "If my legs were fine, I would definitely walk like you, with a catwalk."
"I don't want you to walk the catwalk, you have to promise me something else."
"You can't win!"
"What if a miracle happens?"
After a brief pause, Ye Zhi said to me seriously, "I've already spoken to the leaders at the traffic management office about your retaking of the driver's license test; they said they can extend it for another year... So, if you lose, you have to promise me that after a year, you must get your lost driver's license back."
I instinctively took a deep breath and then asked, "Do you really believe that a year from now, Michael will be able to regain his best condition, both mentally and physically?"
Ye Zhi nodded emphatically and then replied, "I believe you. Otherwise, why would you be the man I admire, and not someone else?"
"Okay, if I lose, I'll go back to Dali in a year and get my driver's license back."
"Well... but unlike before, we have to agree that we have to eat everything that's given to us without fail, and absolutely no cheating or shirking!"
I glanced at the items in front of them; they were roughly equal. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Ye Zhi had no chance of winning. So, whether I take my driving test or not is another matter; I'm already prepared to watch her walk the catwalk…
It's quite interesting to think about. I actually managed to turn the dignified CEO Ye into a celebrity through this competition... I'm not kidding. I believe that as long as she dares to walk the catwalk in front of everyone, someone will definitely film her and upload it to short video social media platforms. With her outstanding temperament and the beautiful scenery of Dali at dusk, she will definitely attract a lot of attention, and then she will become a celebrity that can be found everywhere online.
While I was still daydreaming, Ye Zhi had already made preparations. She tapped the table with her chopsticks and started a countdown. As she counted to one, her hands moved quickly... She was really going all out to help me get my driver's license. She stuffed a piece of grilled tofu covered in chili powder and cumin into her mouth and swallowed it quickly.
I had already imagined her walking like a cat, so how could I be willing to lose? The next moment, I also picked up a handful of grilled tofu... I didn't hold back with her. She ate it one skewer at a time, but I insisted on eating it by the handful. With such a multiplied attack, how could she possibly beat me?
...
I miscalculated. She secretly placed the roasted quail eggs, shells and all, under a pile of skewers... It must have been something good, but you had to peel them to eat it; this was definitely her premeditated plan, because the moment I picked up the quail eggs, she looked at me with a very serious expression, as if reminding me to follow the rules...
I lost miserably. By the time she finished eating, I still had several unpeeled quail eggs in my hand...
I exclaimed, "President Ye is indeed President Ye. No matter what big matters are, there are always your schemes everywhere!"
"So, are you going to admit defeat or not?"
"You have to accept the consequences of your bet."
After hearing this, Ye Zhi actually took out a pen and a tissue from her bag. She insisted that I write down my commitment to taking the driving test on her tissue.
I wrote it because it's a good thing for me too.
More than anyone else, I want my leg to recover as soon as possible.
Will she really gain back 10 pounds in the following year?
Actually, I don't really want her to gain weight. I just hope she can take good care of her health and not overwork herself... Just like her wish for me, it's a very beautiful blessing.
...
After parting ways with Ye Zhi, I returned to the courtyard I shared with Nicole. I felt much better and clearer than ever before, because I knew exactly what I should do next.
I'll go to Thailand to get my leg treated first, and then start doing what I'm good at. Of course, I can't forget about "one-click travel"... After all that's done, I'll go back to Dali and get my driver's license back... I also want to buy a luxury car and drive it myself, to experience that feeling of being in the limelight again.
Ye Zhi helped me sort all this out... She is a very smart and methodical woman, so these past two days, she has been guiding me in the best way possible; she did not put pressure on me when I was on the verge of collapse. It's as if she has a magical hand that has smoothed out my wounds without my noticing.
Yang Sisi, on the other hand, was the complete opposite of her... I'm not saying Yang Sisi is bad, but to some extent, she was indeed 'forcing' me to make a choice. This 'forcing' turned me into an intractable knot, so in my panic, I said hurtful things to her and did irrational things.
I miss her a lot, and I'm also quite worried about her... but then I think, isn't this a good outcome after all?
At this stage, I can no longer handle the kind of dramatic, intense relationship; I prefer a gentle, subtle approach.
...
I hadn't been sitting for long when Wednesday came back. As soon as he saw me, he said, "Brother, I've already gone to apply for my passport. They said it would take at least seven working days and at most fifteen days... Why don't you just go to Thailand by yourself instead of waiting for me? I don't want to delay your treatment... Anyway, I'll meet you in Bangkok as soon as I get my passport."
Actually, besides waiting for Wednesday, I'm also waiting for Tie Nan, who is about to be released from prison.
These past few days, I've been seriously considering whether or not I should have a meal with Tie Nan after he gets out of prison.
Originally, I was running away... but after sorting out my future, I had more courage to face it; I felt that since I didn't intend to disown Tie Nan as a friend, why not face it sooner? ... If we could resolve our differences, that would be best; if not, I had already done my best, and when I look back on it in the future, I wouldn't have any regrets.
Thinking about it, I replied to Zhou Sansan, "How about this, I'll definitely have to stay in Dali for another week. If your passport can be processed in a week, we can go together; if not, I'll go first."
"Alright."
After a brief pause, Zhou San suddenly asked me with a cold expression, "Brother, you met with Ye Zhi again today, didn't you?"
"Didn't you tell her I went to Erhai Lake... and you still dare to question me?"
"I was tricked by her; she used reverse psychology to provoke me..."
"Why did she use reverse psychology?"
"She said, 'I'm just an outsider to you, so you never tell me where you go... Brother, how can I bear to hear you say that?...' In my excitement, I let it slip!"
