“If you weren’t born with a silver spoon in your mouth, everyone goes through this process… I think that once you choose freedom, things will only get better and better, because you are already much better than those who are still confused.”

"You don't need to tell me so many things I don't want to hear... I know what kind of person you are."

"I won't say anything more about people like that. I just want you to remember... when you can't bear the loneliness, think about what we said today, and those imagined scenarios... I'll wait for you, maybe in Shanghai, maybe in a city that's completely unfamiliar to both of us."

"I'm sorry, An'an!"

...

The next day, I went to the airport before An'an and the others. As originally planned, I changed my flight to Bangkok. I went to the mall where Ye Zhi had bought me the "Green Submariner," and then to the Vacheron Constantin boutique. I was disappointed again, because the boutique there didn't have that model anymore… The salesperson told me that the price of this watch had been inflated, so the original-priced watches in the boutique had long been snapped up by watch enthusiasts. If I really wanted to buy this model, I would have to buy a second-hand one.

That's when I realized why the watch in that duty-free shop was suddenly sold. It turned out that the watch had become a collector's item, and professional collectors had probably already started buying them all over the world.

The "Green Submariner" in my hand is the same. When it first came out, it was only a little over 40,000 yuan. Now it has been speculated to 120,000 yuan and is already in a state of scarcity. So Ye Zhi was really lucky when she bought it for me!

Is it only possible for her to make sacrifices for me between us?

...

In the evening, I finally boarded the plane from Bangkok to Shanghai empty-handed... I had arranged to meet Ye Zhi under the pretense of a watch, and I wondered what her reaction would be when I stood before her empty-handed...

Please don't think I deceived her.
