sense of crisis



sense of crisis

In the not-so-spacious bathroom, my eyes were filled with mist and fragmented images, making the scene before me unclear.

His clenched teeth were loosened by the impact, and he could only keep quiet by using his hands.

Ye Jia held her breath, thinking that Chu Nian was on the other side of the window.

No, this still won't work, it's too uncomfortable.

I will still visit Gu Anzhou's house in the future.

The next day, Ye Jia slept in a little longer and was woken up by the aroma of breakfast. She was starving, but as soon as she groggily walked to the kitchen door, she was picked up by the waist and carried to the bedroom.

?

Lying on the bed, Ye Jia heard Gu Anzhou say, "I know you don't have an appetite when you wake up in the morning, so you should move around a bit first."

No, no.

Ye Jia quickly pressed against his chest: "No need today, I'm really hungry today and want to eat something right away."

"ah……"

What are you regretting?!

Then let's digest our food after breakfast.

After seeing Gu Anzhou off, Ye Jia had to sleep for a while longer. It was much more tiring than running. Her heart rate was stable when she ran, but now it was fluctuating, which consumed more energy.

Chu Nian sent a message at noon, and Ye Jia opened the door to go find her.

As soon as the door opened, Chu Nian was a little surprised: "I thought you weren't home, that's why I sent you a message."

"Where did you think I went?"

"Boss Gu's house? I thought you two went there last night, since I didn't hear anything."

Ye Jia looked speechless: "I feel like you'd be pressed against the door eavesdropping, so I don't dare make a sound." She was so anxious that she could barely whimper.

The contraction was so severe that Gu Anzhou was also in a bad situation, as if he were about to be strangled.

"How stingy! What's wrong with letting others hear it?" Chu Nian glared at Ye Jia. "I just have the curiosity that a normal person should have. What's wrong with that?"

I'm calling the police to have you arrested!

-

The Fog Sea Lighthouse Bar has officially reopened. Chu Nian, as a friend of the owner's girlfriend, was allowed to come and have a couple of drinks in peace and quiet in the afternoon.

Her biggest worry was: "What if they run away again? I really can't live without alcohol or handsome guys to look at. If I didn't believe you when you said you'd be back in three months, I was seriously considering opening my own shop."

"Is it really that exaggerated?" Ye Jia chuckled.

Of course!

Gu Anzhou, who was behind the bar, said, "Then you can start making preparations. This shop may have to close permanently soon."

Upon hearing this, not only Chu Nian but also Ye Jia were quite surprised, wondering why they hadn't told her about this before.

"...?" Chu Nian was about to collapse. "What do you mean? You two are going to elope to the ends of the earth?"

"I don't drink anymore. If I don't taste the flavors when mixing drinks, I can't create anything new."

Ye Jia said, "It's okay to just taste such a small amount, right?"

"If you're going to quit, you can't touch even the slightest bit."

"Seriously? Why are you being so serious?" Chu Nian pleaded, holding her head. "Can we hold on for another six months? I'm leaving in six months anyway, and I'll explore new bars in my new place."

Gu Anzhou was uncertain: "It depends on the situation."

He then looked at Ye Jia and asked the question he really wanted to know: "What are you planning to do in six months?"

Ye Jia didn't know why he chose to say this when Chu Nian was around. She wanted to ask him if he had any plans to return to his post. His parents were both police officers. Actually, if he could get over this mental hurdle and go back to being a police officer, that would be the best path for him.

She can do her job anywhere anyway, and she wants to keep up with his pace.

But with Chu Nian here, there was no way to say it, so Ye Jia could only reply, "It depends on the situation, we'll talk about it later."

Chu Nian got excited: "It doesn't matter where we work, Jiajia, why don't you come with me? I'd like to be your neighbor."

Where do you want to go?

Chu Nian thought for a moment: "After spending a year on the island, it seems like I should spend another year in the mountains. How about going to your hometown? I saw online that it's quite a livable place."

Although Ye Jia's hometown is very poor, there are also some very nice places nearby, with excellent scenery and air quality, as well as high-end resorts.

But back in the mountains...

Ye Jia was somewhat reluctant; he had seen the mountain scenery for eighteen years and had had enough. Perhaps one day he would want to go back, but not for the time being.

Following her heart, Ye Jia shook her head: "I don't really want to."

"Let's look at other cities then." Chu Nian took out her phone to search for livable cities and discussed it with Ye Jia.

Although Ye Jia was indeed talking to her, Chu Nian easily noticed that she wasn't actively participating. After glancing at Boss Gu, Chu Nian said, "You still want to be with Boss Gu, right?"

"Yes," Ye Jia admitted.

"Sigh." Chu Nian's shoulders slumped weakly. "Fine then. It's so annoying, it makes me want to have a stable relationship too."

Ye Jia also felt that it was good for someone like Chu Nian not to take love seriously, but she cared a lot about Gu Anzhou, and didn't want her friendship with Chu Nian to end on Lingfeng Island.

Originally, I came here just to transition to a carefree life.

I never imagined that I would develop such an unbreakable connection with people, and not just one person.

Gu Anzhou kept watching them talk, then joined in, saying to Ye Jia, "I'm open to working anywhere, you can discuss it with me."

Ye Jia was surprised. Did he have absolutely no desire to go back to being a policeman, or was he still running away?

"Wow, Mr. Gu, you're such a husband?" This is completely different from what Chu Nian imagined based on his appearance.

"The feeling of being a husband?" Gu Anzhou didn't understand at first.

He pondered the meaning of the word for a moment before looking at Ye Jia, his eyes filled with a hint of... resentment.

He already feels like a married man, but she hasn't considered it yet.

Ye Jia looked at him, puzzled.

"Mr. Gu, do you have any single friends? I'd like to know them, the handsome kind. Introduce them to me."

Gu Anzhou asked in surprise, "Where's Xiaobai?"

"Still a newbie, and you've already gotten another one." Ye Jia said impatiently, her tone sounding somewhat admiring.

Gu Anzhou's expression darkened for a moment.

Chu Nian caught him: "What, are you still going to 'stand up for him'?"

No, not really, but I suddenly feel a bit of a crisis. Ye Jia and Chu Nian are such good friends, what if she also wants to try a few more?

He had already decided on her.
