bid farewell
Gu Anzhou went downstairs to continue his business, while Ye Jia stayed upstairs with Bai Yu for a while, trying to calm him down.
Bai Yu's mood improved a lot, and Ye Jia began to help him analyze the situation. He didn't get angry anymore and listened patiently, but he started to cry as he listened.
"Doesn't this mean that Chu Nian doesn't actually like me, he just likes sleeping with me?!"
"This is already quite remarkable. There are so many people on the island, why does she only want to sleep with you?"
It feels weird, but it also seems to make some sense, yet it still feels weird.
Bai Yu was heartbroken and asked Ye Jia with a sorrowful expression, "Sister Jiajia, do you think I still have a chance?"
We definitely can't just blindly say "yes" to comfort him, that would be putting Chu Nian in a difficult position.
After thinking for a moment, Ye Jia said, "Don't blame me for being honest, Xiao Bai. If you ask this question, then it's definitely not true. What you should be doing is not asking such meaningless questions, but improving yourself and becoming the kind of person Chu Nian truly wants."
The way he spoke, like someone with experience, made Bai Yu nod with tears in her eyes. He said it made sense, it really made sense.
Ye Jia breathed a sigh of relief. This was not something that could be achieved in a day or two; it would take at least a year or two. And in her opinion, given Xiao Bai's level of comprehension, it would probably take five years or more.
He should give up now, and Chu Nian should find a new "boyfriend." It seems better for him to give up.
Bai Yu looked at Ye Jia with teary eyes: "Sister Jiajia, do you think Brother Zhou is the kind of person you want?"
"Yeah."
"'Bar'?"
"We don't yet understand the extent to which we can predict the future. He will change, and I will change too. Maybe it's like this now, but it might not be like this in the future."
Bai Yu opened his mouth in surprise. Is this what a mature person thinks? He felt that his love for Chu Nian would never change, and he never even thought that Chu Nian would change.
"Then can you accept that Brother Zhou won't like you anymore?"
"Probably not in the short term, but over a long period of time, what is unacceptable?" If Ye Jia really had the same thoughts as Bai Yu, there would be no way for him to leave the mountains. Wouldn't he be stuck in the mountains for life?
Even the harm Han Lanchuan caused her, Ye Jia now feels is no big deal, and is even grateful to him and Wang Jun. If they hadn't reminded her, she wouldn't have realized that she was capable of starting her own company.
Bai Yu was deeply hurt. With this comparison, he finally understood why Chu Nian only treated him like a child.
After comforting Bai Yu, Ye Jia led him downstairs, gave Gu Anzhou a hand signal, and left.
She felt that Chu Nian must have been quite frightened today, so she needed to comfort her.
The door was tightly shut, so Ye Jia knocked on it.
Unlike usual, he didn't open the door after hearing footsteps approaching from inside. He waited a while before opening it, and hurriedly pulled her inside with one hand.
"Bai Yu didn't come along, did she?" Chu Nian asked.
"No, he's at a bar, probably drowning his sorrows in alcohol." He just didn't know if Gu Anzhou would give him any alcohol; even a soft drink would do.
As Ye Jia answered the questions, she saw suitcases spread out in the room, and most of Chu Nian's messy things had been packed.
What's going on here?
"I'm leaving, by tomorrow afternoon at the latest." Chu Nian said resolutely. "Let me tell you, don't let him come looking for me these next two days. When I leave, stop him somewhere else, or send him back to school first."
Are you going to leave without saying goodbye?
"I'm thinking of writing him a letter, what do you think?"
"Yes, that's very sincere." Writing a letter is indeed the best way to say goodbye, avoiding emotional conflict and leaving only a lingering impression.
Hearing her affirmation, Chu Nian leaned on the table, opened the software, and searched for templates.
“No,” Ye Jia leaned closer, “I just praised you for being sincere.”
"Forgive me, I've been plagiarizing my essays since I was a child."
"Your talent is all in drawing erotic pictures."
"Hey, how can you talk like that?" Chu Nian scolded. "I was showing the intertwining of love and soul, okay?"
Ye Jia nodded, "That makes sense."
Chu Nian found a template, copied it, deleted the parts that didn't fit, added her true thoughts and feelings, as well as her best wishes for Bai Yu, and then handed it to Ye Jia for review.
"Can."
Chu Nian took out paper and pen and started copying, asking her as she did so, "So you just saw him, right? How was he?"
"It's alright, it's recovering, and we can still talk to it and get through to it."
"You didn't say anything to him that gave him hope, did you?"
Ye Jia shook her head and said, "Does telling him to work hard to become the person you want him to be count?"
"Of course it counts! But never mind, I forgive you. How could he know what I want? Anyway, I'm leaving. As long as he can't find me, everything will be fine."
Have you decided where you want to go?
"I'll open a blind box after I finish writing this."
Ye Jia only then realized that there were such things as blind boxes for plane tickets, which were perfect for people like them who could go anywhere.
Chu Nian also drew a city in the south. After checking, she found that it wasn't very big, but the pace of life seemed quite comfortable, so she decided to go there.
"Come find me!" Chu Nian shook Ye Jia's shoulders.
"Definitely!" Ye Jia promised, "but whether I'll come to see you to continue being your neighbor or just to have a meal with you is uncertain."
"Waaah." Chu Nian hugged her. "The only thing I can't bear to part with is you. I still want to eat your delicious cooking and see you being teased by me."
"..." Ye Jia wanted to get rid of the person as soon as possible.
The next morning, Gu Anzhou tied Bai Yu to the boat and personally escorted him to the main island. They even took the train together to Bai Yu's university.
Bai Yu's classmate saw it and hurriedly asked him who it was, saying it was so handsome.
Bai Yu said with a strangely proud expression, "He's my brother, but I already have a sister-in-law."
As soon as his brother returned to Lingfeng Island, he went to settle accounts with his sister-in-law.
Ye Jia opened the door for Gu Anzhou and was a little confused when she saw his resentful look: "What's wrong?"
Gu Anzhou squeezed in, closed the door, pinned Ye Jia against the wall, and looked down at her: "What do you mean by saying you'll change and I'll change too? What do you mean by saying I don't like you anymore, but I can accept it?"
"Huh? Wait a minute, I didn't say I could accept it. I meant if you really don't like me anymore, then you'll have no choice but to accept it, right?"
That's not much better.
“I don’t want to assume this possibility before it happens, I want…” Gu Anzhou felt a little pain in his breath, “certainty.”
He felt adrift, his feet never touching the ground, and although he knew what she was saying was entirely correct, he didn't want to listen.
"Okay, I'll give you certainty."
Ye Jiana's words were just rational thinking, and also her way of comforting Bai Yu. But emotionally, she also liked Gu Anzhou so much that she wanted to be with him forever, to be together with him for good.
She pulled her hands out of his grasp and placed them in front of him.
Gu Anzhou was taken aback, then said in a panic, "I didn't bring my ring with me."
"Then I'll go with you to get it."
The panic subsided instantly, and Gu Anzhou replied with an "okay," then added, "Then we'll go buy a new pair of wedding rings, and I want to wear them too."
He said he wanted to wear it too, just like a child.
"You mean today? Is there still time? Or is the shop closed again?"
"Then when do you suggest?"
Let's set off tomorrow morning.
The two had just stepped out of the bar to pick up the ring when Chu Nian dragged them into doing manual labor.
Gu Anzhou, in particular, had no free hands and even had a bag hanging around his neck. Luckily, he was strong enough, otherwise he really wouldn't have been able to handle Chu Nian's box, which seemed to be filled with broken stones.
After seeing the people off onto the ship, Chu Nian and Ye Jia bid each other a reluctant farewell.
Before leaving, Chu Nian pointed at Gu Anzhou and then at her own eyes, indicating that she would keep her eyes on him.
Ye Jia chuckled and whispered in her ear, "I just told him we're moving on to the next stage."
Chu Nian gasped, "What!?"
The ship is about to depart.
Ye Jia and Gu Anzhou stood on the shore, waving to Chu Nian who was leaning on the railing. Although they knew they would meet again in the future, this farewell still left them with a sense of melancholy.
As the boat dwindled to a mere dot, Gu Anzhou took Ye Jia's hand and gently stroked her fingers. "Let's go back."
"I never expected that with my six-month lease and her one-year lease, she would leave before me." Ye Jia shook his hand. "Before coming here, I never thought I would make friends or even have a boyfriend. By the way, what were your expectations for coming to this island?"
"I was just looking forward to a completely new way of life, nothing more. So I was very surprised and amazed."
"But your name always feels like it has a strong connection to islands."
"It's a gift from my parents." He did indeed choose to come to the island because of his name.
They couldn't stay with him any longer, but they gave him a reason to come here, allowing him to find someone who could always be there for him.
Gu Anzhou's mother's ring was an emerald ring, which fit Ye Jia perfectly when she put it on. It reflected the light of the setting sun and was very beautiful.
Ye Jia asked Gu Anzhou to tell her about his parents. He said he didn't know much, but he told her everything he did know.
The chubby kitten also lay down on Ye Jia's lap to listen, lazily squinting its eyes.
Gu Anzhou said that his parents' wedding was very simple because they were very busy; it was like having a meal together after get off work.
"I think this is fine; there's no need for a grand celebration." Mainly, Ye Jia didn't have any relatives or friends she wanted to invite, just her parents and Chu Nian. "What do you think?"
"I'm fine with either."
If Ye Jia wants a high-profile wedding, that's fine too. Although he doesn't really want too much attention, he'd be more comfortable if he wanted something simpler.
The countdown to the opening of the Fog Sea Lighthouse Bar has officially begun.
The bar was packed every night, and at one point everyone really thought it would stay open forever.
Bai Yu arrived on the last night, and Ye Jia handed him Chu Nian's letter.
After watching Bai Yu's video, I didn't have much of a reaction. I just cried my eyes out, blowing my nose so loudly that it felt like this was the real farewell.
And it seems like I also have to say goodbye to Brother Zhou and to my own foolishness.
After closing time, Ye Jia drew a blind box.
