The neon lights flickered intermittently between Yang Sisi and me... I looked at her and felt a sense of familiarity and warmth... She looked at me, but her eyes were already filled with tears...
Compared to her glamorous and beautiful appearance, I should take better care of my own image.
I'm too casual, to the point of being a bit sloppy.
Amidst the focused gazes of the crowd, Yang Sisi and I stared at each other, then smiled... and all of Yang Sisi's emotions were expressed in that smile and a tear... I appeared more composed, but my heart was filled with mixed feelings... I didn't know if she had been doing well during the year I had been away.
I got up and walked towards Yang Sisi. Just as I was about to get close to her, she hugged me tightly and burst into tears again... She definitely hadn't changed; only her appearance had changed... She was still the same Yang Sisi who laughed when she was happy and cried when she was sad.
I reached out and hugged her; her scent was still familiar.
Whether I admit it or not, many things about her have left a deep impression on me.
...
Just as I was reminiscing about the past, a sharp pain suddenly shot through my shoulder. Yang Sisi had bitten me... Her bite was one of intense hatred. She hated that I hadn't stopped to wait for her that evening when I left Dali; she hated that I hadn't contacted her for so long.
Compared to my current pain, her heart must be aching even more.
I endured it silently until she let go, then whispered to her, "I'm sorry... I know you hate me!"
"Yeah... I hate you so much, you bastard!"
After a moment of silence, I changed the subject and said, "I'm doing great here... Look, I've made so many new friends."
"They are not your true friends...you can tell from their eyes...they look down on you."
"The way you choose to live determines the kind of friends you'll have... I'm pretty open-minded about that."
I smiled, but Yang Sisi glanced at my group of cyclists... They all avoided her gaze without exception... Putting aside everything else, Yang Sisi's innate air of a rich heiress was on a completely different level from theirs... Although there were quite a few rich kids among my cyclists, they were still a bit lacking compared to Yang Sisi... I don't have any regional prejudice, but there is indeed a difference between rich kids from big cities and those from small towns.
At least, Yang Sisi never displayed the airs of a wealthy heiress in her words or actions...
...
I led Yang Sisi to the table, and before I could introduce her, she said to everyone, "I heard what you all said to him... It's fine when I'm not here... But now that I'm here, I hope you can all show him some respect... I really don't like what you said!"
When men see a beautiful woman, they instinctively try to please her, so even though Yang Sisi was being aggressive, no one really bothered with her... and that's when Yang Sisi sat down right next to me.
I said to everyone, "Let me introduce you... This is my daughter... Doesn't she look like me!"
With so many people around, it's inevitable that some will speak without thinking. Suddenly, someone burst into laughter and said, "The daughter bites her father... This plot is so complicated... Hahahaha!"
I've always been good-tempered in front of them... but at this moment, a sudden surge of anger welled up inside me. I can joke around with Yang Sisi however I want, but not with other people.
I slammed my hand on the table and yelled, "Of everyone at this table, you're the most damn subservient... Eat this food if you can, or get out!"
Everyone looked at me in surprise at first, and then hurriedly tried to persuade me... Luckily someone persuaded me, otherwise I would have overturned the table.
Yang Sisi took over and said to everyone, "Don't listen to Michael's nonsense... I don't have a father as pathetic as him... I only have one bastard in my heart that I can't forget or let go of... Just treat it as a joke."
"So, between the two of you, whose joke are we making?"
Yang Sisi glanced at me, then pointed to herself and said, "Watch me... Come on, since I'm new here, let me toast everyone first... And then I'll say something to everyone: Michael does have many flaws and many inhuman traits... But you're not allowed to talk about him, and you're even less allowed to look down on him... Because in this world, only I can treat him like this, no one else can!"
As Yang Sisi spoke, she picked up her wine glass and drank it all in one gulp...
Everyone was quite shocked because Yang Sisi was truly an extraordinary person. She was open-minded and dared to say anything, regardless of who she was facing.
I could tell that her assertiveness, even her unreasonableness, didn't offend anyone; on the contrary, it garnered her a lot of admiring glances...
Yes, who wouldn't like this girl who dares to love and hate? Besides, she has the beauty that many young men admire.
...
After dinner, I took Yang Sisi to the beach. We took a walk for a while, and then sat down on the sand together... I glanced at her and said, "Aren't you cold in that dress with the sea breeze blowing?"
Yang Sisi then tucked her skirt in.
I also lit a cigarette at the same time.
After taking a drag, I asked her, "Why did you come to see me... I heard it's very important."
Yang Sisi hugged her knees and whispered, "Hmm... you'll be so happy to hear that!"
I laughed: "I've already seen through the mundane world... What else could possibly make me so happy?"
