"Can you look at me for a second... I'm feeling really awkward talking to me like that!"
Ye Zhi turned to look at me, but I suddenly couldn't say a word...
Ye Zhi had already checked out, and she said to me, "If you don't have anything else to say, then I'll be leaving now."
"Yes...yes, don't worry."
"Then you tell me."
"Let's have a meal together. You've come all this way to Dali, and I feel really bad for not treating you to a proper meal."
"I just happened to be passing by, you don't need to make a big fuss."
"Look at you... it's been a whole night, and you're still arguing with me about whether it's on the same route or not!"
"I thought that coming to Dali would make you more sincere... but you're still the same... I don't know how to communicate with you."
I tried to explain, but the next moment, a middle-aged man stood between Ye Zhi and me and said to Ye Zhi, "President Ye, I was sent by President Li to take you to the airport... I'm so sorry, we were supposed to arrive at eleven o'clock, but there was a bit of traffic on the way."
Ye Zhi smiled politely: "I understand... This timing is perfect, it won't cause any delays."
"That's good, that's good... Please get in the car quickly."
Ye Zhi nodded, leaving me standing aside, and then followed the driver out of the hotel.
In my surprise, the receptionist finally said to me, "Sir, are you Michael? A guest did leave an umbrella here."
"Yes, my name is Michael, and this is my ID card."
"Look, is this the umbrella?"
As I nodded, I took the umbrella from the waiter and dashed out of the hotel... At that moment, the driver opened the back door for Ye Zhi.
I grabbed the car door and said to the driver, "Sir... wait, Ms. Ye and I are friends, and I have a few words to say to her."
The driver looked at Ye Zhi.
Ye Zhi replied, "He is my friend, but I don't have time to chat with him right now."
After Ye Zhi said that, the driver didn't give me a chance to speak. I finally lost my temper and said loudly, "You're angry with me because of that thing in Shanghai... I'll admit it, okay? I didn't go there on the way; I came specifically to see you because I was worried about you after such a big accident!"
The atmosphere suddenly became very subtle, and I felt inexplicably nervous... I subconsciously avoided Ye Zhi's gaze, then looked towards Erhai Lake, which was only a stone's throw from the hotel, where flocks of migratory birds roamed and the sun shone golden...
Yes, Dali has said goodbye to last night's bad weather and welcomed a sunny day.
And what about me?
I don't ask for good weather, I just hope that under Ye Zhi's complicated gaze, I can relax a little!
