I almost lost my mind, wanting only to turn her into a blooming flower in this moment... My hand was already on her belt, I wanted to untie the most mysterious layer of protection on her clothes, and then face her without reservation...
To me, this is madness, madness to possess, madness to tear apart, madness to release myself... I feel, in my animalistic 'humanity,' that's what sex is.
Until Ye Zhi bit my lip
I stopped, then, panting, faced Ye Zhi…
Her clothes were disheveled, and her hair was a mess... I then realized that she bit me because deep down there was a belief that was rejecting this behavior, and its importance had surpassed the physical pleasure.
"Michael, no...this is not why I came here!"
Of course, I could choose to continue acting recklessly, but after gradually calming down, I realized that I was just another Cao Xiaobei, even more of a scoundrel than Cao Xiaobei...
I slid off the sofa, then put my hands behind my head, trying to calm myself down while breathing heavily... At that moment, I desperately needed some oxygen, otherwise it would feel like I was dead.
I finally said to Ye Zhi in a hoarse voice, "I'm sorry, I did something you didn't like."
What's wrong with you?
I looked at Ye Zhi, unsure how to answer, but I already knew in my heart that I had ruined both Ye Zhi's and my own mood.
Ye Zhi's gaze never left me, as if she was determined to get an answer from me.
I finally spoke up and replied, "You look especially beautiful today, really!"
Are all men like this?
"Don't be angry... Let's change the subject..."
After saying that, I hoped Ye Zhi could give me a way out.
Ye Zhi chose to remain silent.
I smiled and said to her, "Let me show you a magic trick, it's really fun."
"What magic trick?"
“A mind magic trick, it’s amazing… Just give me your hand and I’ll know what you’re thinking right now.”
Ye Zhi replied warily, "I don't believe you. You must have some ulterior motive."
With a bitter face, I sighed, "That's it, they don't trust me anymore!"
Ye Zhi exclaimed, "You have so many ideas!"
"But I've never used any bad ideas on you."
Doesn't that count?
I was a little embarrassed and replied, "You don't really want me to dig a hole and crawl in, do you...? Then there's no point in you coming to Dali, because you scared me so much that I've been hiding in a hole and I'm too scared to come out. You'll just have to go see Dali's romantic scenery all by yourself."
"You have a sharp tongue... It's like I'm the one who did something wrong, and in the end, I'm the only one who gets what I deserve."
I replied, "It's a pity my parents didn't discover my talent! If they had just given me a little guidance back then, I would be either a comedian or a lawyer now, and I would definitely be more successful than I am now."
Ye Zhi smiled helplessly, gave me her hand, and said, "Change it..."
I gazed at her, then took her hand very seriously, saying, "Let's hold your hand and walk together... to drink beer on Renmin Road!"
I laughed as I pulled Ye Zhi up from the sofa and said, "I know you've been busy traveling and haven't eaten yet... I'll take you to Renmin Road for a good meal, and we can't skimp on the drinks... okay?"
Ye Zhi was both amused and exasperated. After a long pause, she finally said, "You tricked me again!"
“This time it’s not a trick, I’m just worried you’re hungry… After you’ve eaten, we can find a coffee shop, listen to some music, read some books… I don’t want to think about those ‘messy’ things anymore.”
"What kind of nonsense is this?"
Even though I knew Ye Zhi was mocking me, I shamelessly replied with a smile, "What else could it be? It's just that kind of aggressive 'sex'..."
At this point, I lowered my voice and whispered in Ye Zhi's ear, "The meaning of 'aggressive' is that it means having ulterior motives... This can't be explained anymore; it can't stand any more explanation!"
"You're such a bastard!"
"I hope you'll like this version of me."
"It's a bit difficult. I really want to see you when you're serious."
"A person can be as unserious as they can be, and as affectionate as they can be."
...
I took Ye Zhi to Renmin Road and found a coffee shop in a small alley, but still visible from the street. I was right; Ye Zhi hadn't eaten because she was in a hurry.
I ordered her a pasta dish and myself a beer, so she would have something to do while she ate.
While we were waiting for our food, Ye Zhi took out two very delicate little bottles from her bag and handed them to me, saying, "These two bottles contain sand from Layang-Layang Island. They're for you."
I was pleasantly surprised, and while holding the bottle in my hand and looking at it, I replied, "You're still thinking about this?"
“I think your idea is great… I hope that one day you can open this inn and fill it with all kinds of souvenirs with exotic flair… Maybe it will really feel like you’ve traveled all over the world.”
"If it really comes true, the first person I should thank is you... Luckily, you can travel all over the world. Most people really don't have the ability to do it. Not to mention the time, the travel expenses alone are enough to make people give up the idea!"
After a brief pause, I asked Ye Zhi, "Could you tell me about Layang-Layang Island? What kind of place is it?"
