"If you keep talking nonsense, give me back my wristband... I only give my things to people with sound values."
Nie Dangdang protected her arm and quickly said to me, "I won't say it anymore, I won't say it anymore..."
Nie Dangdang really shut up, and I fell into a particularly blank state, unwilling to think about anything or do anything. I just wanted to sit on this court from noon to night, and then find a house and move.
...
Lost in thought, my phone, which was under the basketball hoop, vibrated. I quickly picked it up and saw that Ye Zhi had finally replied to my message. She said, "If he really does have such a piece of land by the sea that has been frozen by the 'government,' then I will seriously consider your proposal. Thank you."
Her "thank you" took me completely by surprise. I felt something was off about her; this feeling had started last night and was now even stronger.
I didn't know how to reply. In my mind, I would play a role in connecting the dots in this matter, but from Ye Zhi's indifferent words, I couldn't find any sense of participation at all.
I am so disappointed, I can't even describe the disappointment.
I put my phone back under the basketball hoop and then lit a cigarette for myself.
...
Three more days passed in the blink of an eye. In these three days, apart from Chen Jin negotiating two more shops, I haven't made any progress at all. If there is a competitive relationship between Chen Jin and me, I have already fallen far behind him... I am a little negative. My negativity stems from the fact that Ye Zhi has treated such a good solution to the problem negatively.
I really wanted to know what she was thinking, but she suddenly became cold towards me.
...
It was another noon, seemingly ordinary, but unlike the previous days, the sun wasn't shining brightly. I wandered through the ancient city, filled with the aroma of food and sex, in the gloomy weather, and I met Wang Xiaoling on patrol again.
We remained silent, but it reminded me of when I had just planned to develop "Jiulongju". Back then, I was full of ambition and even thought about making this street more humane and finding a simple and easy job for vulnerable groups like Grandma Wang Xiaoling, so she wouldn't have to pick up bottles thrown away by tourists at night.
But now, things are really difficult. Not to mention whether they can bring 80% of the shops in the commercial street under their own studio, even something as simple as installing streetlights is stuck and there is no progress at all.
As the owner of this studio, I bear more responsibility than anyone else, so my anxiety is also stronger than anyone else's.
Anyway, I haven't been doing well these past few days, especially last night when I couldn't sleep all night.
...
I strolled leisurely from Renmin Road to Yeyu Road, and then from Yeyu Road to Yangren Street, when I received a call from Cao Xue. As soon as I answered, he asked me, "Dude, are you with your girlfriend now? My uncle wants to meet her and have a chat."
I was a little surprised and asked, "What do you mean by that? Has she come to Dali?"
"Damn...you're playing dumb with me...my uncle meant no harm, he just wanted to have a calm talk with her. We're not strangers, can you stop being so secretive?"
"I really don't know. I'm on Foreigners' Street right now, all by myself... Are you sure she came to Dali?"
“It’s confirmed, absolutely confirmed… My uncle has connections in the Public Security Bureau, and he found her hotel check-in record in the system connected to the hotel… My uncle also wanted to make money peacefully, so he didn’t go to the hotel to bother her. If she’s with you now, could you please pass on a message… hoping to have dinner together in the ancient city tonight.”
I was stunned, and after a long while, I replied, "I really didn't know she came to Dali. She didn't tell me at all..."
Can I believe it?
"If I lied to you about this, may I be struck by lightning!"
Cao Xue was also surprised and taken aback, so much so that he stood there on the other end of the phone for a long time without saying a word.
I then asked, "When did she check in?"
About two days ago.
I couldn't describe the feeling in my heart. It turned out she had been in Dali for two days. We had agreed to meet, so why was she avoiding me now? What did I do or say wrong to make her treat me like this?
