After talking with Yang Sisi, I didn't rush back to Longkan. We cleaned the newly rented house together. During the cleaning, she led me to one of the rooms and said to me, "From now on, this room is yours."
I subconsciously glanced around and then asked, "Honestly, isn't this the worst of the three rooms?"
"Only evil people would twist the good intentions of others with an evil heart... If you think this room is rubbish, you can choose any of the other two."
"I'll go take a look."
As I spoke, I put down the mop in my hand and went to the second room under Yang Sisi's disdainful gaze... Although this room was not small, the lighting was obviously not as good as the room that Yang Sisi had assigned to me.
I went to the third room, which had even fewer advantages. Not only was the space small, but the window was also not big enough, so there was only a bed and a wardrobe in it. Even the TV mounted on the wall was obviously much smaller than the other two rooms.
Standing behind me, Yang Sisi said to me with a half-smile, "You always feel like the whole world is persecuting you... Why don't you stay in this room? It's small, so you'll definitely feel safer than the other two."
I ignored her and asked her with a guess in mind, "Peach and Iron Man are two people, so they definitely can't stay in this room... So you originally planned to keep this small room for yourself?"
"You would never guess that I am such a person of high moral character."
I shook my head and replied with a pout, "This isn't exactly noble... You chose this small room because you lack a sense of security more than anyone else... And I also know that once you move in, you'll buy lots of little things to fill the room, which will make you feel even more secure."
Yang Sisi hugged herself and said, "You don't need to pretend you know me so well."
"You not only lack a sense of security, but you also like to be stubborn."
"Don't I have any redeeming qualities in your eyes?"
"A lack of security and stubbornness, viewed from another perspective, are actually advantages... It makes you seem a bit cuter than other girls... At least you're not someone who likes to complain."
As I spoke, I also mopped the floor of the small room...
Yang Sisi stood against the wall again, and after a while of silence, she changed the subject and asked me, "It's time to eat. What do you want to eat? I'll order takeout."
"Tomato and egg noodles, please."
"Your personality is so timid, is it because you eat so much noodles?"
Are you just teasing me? Have you gotten addicted to it?
"That's right... If I don't tease you a little every day, I don't even enjoy my meals."
"I must have done a lot of terrible things to you in my past life, otherwise you wouldn't hate me so much in this life!"
"If there is a next life, I will still hate you."
I touched my left cheek and replied with a sigh, "Your cheeky, talkative manner is so unlike that of a Shanghai girl. Shanghai girls are usually so demure and refined!"
"Who looks like a Shanghai girl? Ye Zhi... or your ex-girlfriend?"
I stared at her blankly, speechless for a long time... Actually, I shouldn't have said these things to her, because there are always exceptions. Everyone thinks that Beijing girls are particularly talkative and bold, but some Beijing girls can also be very demure. So why can't Yang Sisi, a girl from Shanghai, be an exception and be more outgoing?
...
On that platform overlooking the sea, Yang Sisi and I sat under a parasol eating the takeout she had just ordered. Perhaps because the view from here was exceptionally good, offering glimpses of Dali's most beautiful natural scenery, my recently tense emotions relaxed considerably.
I quickly finished the bowl of noodles, and then lit a cigarette for myself...
I felt even more at ease, and even wished to just live like a drifter in Dali, not for ideals, not for love, but just to live happily... This is not a negative expression, because this thought only stayed at this moment. People always have moments of relaxation.
I glanced at Yang Sisi again. Like most girls, she liked to play on her phone while eating, and didn't seem to appreciate the beautiful scenery.
Noticing me looking at her, she put down her phone and said to me, "You've finished your meal, why aren't you going back to comfort Ye Zhi? What are you looking at here for?"
My thoughts jumped around a bit, and I replied, "I suddenly feel like this world isn't all that great!"
"You people are the most annoying. You always feel like the whole world has wronged you, but you never think about what you have contributed to the world."
"I don't feel like the world has wronged me; I just feel it's not very good... Think about it, if the world were truly perfect, with everyone kind and compassionate, why would people yearn for a home so much? After all, you'd see kind faces everywhere... Home, for us, is a safe haven. If you're bullied outside, there's someone at home to comfort you; if you're cold and hungry outside, there's a bowl of hot porridge at home. It's because of home that you dare to fight for your own little piece of land in this world..."
Yang Sisi interrupted me, saying, "You mean, if the world is good enough, we can abandon our homes?"
"You have a good understanding... Take a nation, for example. A nation is also a big family; why do people divide up territory and form nations? It's to deal with war, protect what they've gained in this world, and even to plunder what others have gained. If the world were fair enough, why would humanity wage wars, fighting and robbing each other? If there were no wars, no plunderers, then naturally there would be no need to form nations, and without nations, there would be no individual families!"
