After a brief silence, I smiled slightly and spoke again: "Does your lip still hurt?... If it does, please remember this night, this man, and the mark he left on you in this way... Although it may sound like wishful thinking, it's truly a memory for me... With this memory, I won't bother you anymore... Anyway, the connection between people will eventually come to an end, sooner or later."
Ye Zhi finally spoke, replying, "If you put it that way, it seems like I can't blame you for your disrespectful behavior just now, either subjectively or objectively; but with such eloquence, why have you accomplished nothing all these years?"
I suddenly felt incredibly embarrassed, and after a long pause, I said, "Besides comedians, who else can make money with their eloquence... I think you're being a bit sarcastic."
"I didn't mean to be sarcastic. I was just wondering... have you ever used these tactics of playing hard to get on women other than me? For example, Lu Jia, or Sisi, who was watching a movie with you just now."
Looking at Ye Zhi, I felt an overwhelming sense of shame, because she was too clever; she understood all my tricks...
"You were just talking non-stop, why did you suddenly stop talking... Is it because I hit the nail on the head?"
I laughed again and said, "I shouldn't have brought you to eat barbecue. I should have bought you a box of pickled cabbage noodles. They're too sour!"
Ye Zhi replied somewhat impatiently, "Can't you be a little more sincere after saying so much useless talk?"
“I do like to joke, but I’ve never been dishonest when it comes to relationships… I also want to ask you, is it really that hard to trust me… Do you know that the biggest problem between us is the lack of trust, and what you think I’m talking about, I’ve never even thought about or done.”
I spread my hands and said, "I don't know when it started, but we can no longer communicate calmly... I don't know if you're too individualistic, or if I really have a problem."
"I don't understand it either..."
Ye Zhi only got halfway through her sentence when her phone rang. She glanced at the caller ID and answered it. She didn't try to hide it from me, so I could roughly tell it was about work. I also noticed her brows furrowing little by little.
Two minutes later, she hung up the phone and said to me, "I don't have time to talk to you anymore. I have to go to the airport now. There's been an accident at the hotel in Sanya, and I have to go there in person to handle it."
I asked with concern, "Is it serious?"
"serious."
"Then I'll take you to the airport."
"No need, you've been drinking..."
As Ye Zhi spoke, she hailed a taxi. Before I could even react, the taxi had already disappeared from my sight with her in it... I felt inexplicably empty!
