"How could I complain about it being too little... I won't."
"Then I wish you a happy new year and all the best in your work..."
This heartfelt greeting from Lao Mi touched me deeply, even bringing a lump to my throat... Although I didn't cry, it still reminded me of the night Lao Mi first arrived in Dali; the three of us—me, him, and Ye Zhi—had dinner together, and it seems that Ye Zhi and I started our relationship from that moment...
Even now, I still can't understand whether this was a wrong start... Anyway, I stayed in Dali afterward because of Ye Zhi's help; from that perspective, it doesn't seem like a mistake, but where did my current distress come from?

Watching her play with the children under the streetlights, I think I understand now why Cao Xiaobei likes her so much... because Yang Sisi has what he lacks most.
And what about me?
Actually, I'm not that happy, but happiness doesn't necessarily need to be conveyed through love... Just like me right now, simply standing next to Yang Sisi is enough to make me happy!
