"It's alright... We only have one principle: whoever needs the money most urgently will get it first."
After I finished speaking, I shoved the bank card into his hand and said to him, "I used to advise Bai Lu to get a divorce... I didn't expect her to be so decisive. Even though she left with nothing, she no longer has to stay with that fly Guo Yang and disgust herself... This is really a good thing, so you two shouldn't have any mental burdens. Leave Dali as soon as possible and start a new life."
Coach Ma patted my shoulder heavily, then bowed his head for a moment before turning and leaving with his guitar slung over his shoulder…
After he rode his motorcycle and completely disappeared from my sight, I swallowed hard and then subconsciously looked back at the guesthouse that was about to be demolished... I became sentimental because I remembered the scenes of decorating the bar with him. Now he's gone, and the guesthouse is almost gone... How can I control myself and not feel the sadness of an empty house?
Standing in the cold wind, I seemed to have gained a deeper understanding of Dali... This place has never been anyone's paradise! Because for every person who comes here with dreams, there are just as many who leave with a sorrow more real than their dreams...
...
I took off my clothes again and, with unwavering resolve, jumped into the icy Erhai Lake. This time, I didn't choose to dive; I wanted to transform into a fish free of all constraints and swim to the other side of Erhai Lake to see what it was like…
As I was swimming back to shore, I found Ye Zhi sitting on the rock where I had just taken off my clothes, watching the cruise ship sailing in from afar.
I swam to her side, grabbed the rocks with one hand, and wiped the water off my face with the other. She looked at me and then asked, "Aren't you afraid of catching a cold in this cold weather?"
"It's okay. Not to mention that Dali has such a good climate, even in Shanghai, there are people who go winter swimming. You'll get used to it."
"Is that so?"
I jokingly asked her, "Do you want to come down for a swim? Once you get used to the water temperature, it'll feel amazing!"
Is this a way for you to vent your emotions?
"Uh...I guess so."
Ye Zhi nodded and replied, "I can't go downstairs in this outfit."
"You mean you'd come down if you had a swimsuit?... Don't try to fool me. In this Erhai Lake, in this weather, even if you count all the women in the country, you wouldn't dare come down. Do you believe me?"
"I'm one of the ten... provided I have a swimsuit."
When Ye Zhi said that, I felt inexplicably better. I smiled and said to her, "You have to keep your word... Taozi has some swimsuits ready-made. I think you two are about the same size, so go and borrow one from her."
"I can't wear swimsuits that other people have worn."
"Don't worry... She bought more than a dozen sets during the Double Eleven promotion, so there must be some she hasn't worn before."
After I finished speaking, I shouted at the top of my lungs towards Peach in the inn, "Peach... come out and I have something to tell you... Peach, can you hear me?... I have something to tell you!"
