I looked up at the farthest point of the sea, where it was pitch black, just like my state of mind at that moment—I had neither the desire to strive nor any particular place I wanted to go.
"Hey... say something!"
"say what?"
Yang Sisi looked at me with particular annoyance, then replied, "Look at you now, how are you any different from when you first came back from Thailand?... In this life, besides that woman, is there no one else you care about more?... If the answer is yes, then go find her... If you have something to say, let's talk it out face to face. What kind of man are you, cowering like this?"
"If I still had anything to say to her, we would have met long ago."
"So do you want to see her or not?... If you do, come back to Shanghai with me."
I don't want to talk.
Yang Sisi added, "Just think of it as coming back with me to see my dad... and then we'll see her while we're at it..."
"Stop talking, Sisi... I won't go see her... I don't plan to spend my whole life here. When I feel the pressure, I'll go out and find something to do."
"You brought so much money with you back then, when will you start to feel the pressure?"
"It has nothing to do with money... It'll be soon."
"You've made yourself clear."
I looked at Yang Sisi, feeling unable to speak, but she kept staring at me relentlessly, as if she wouldn't give up until she got an answer from me.
I swallowed hard, and finally said to her in a low voice, "Before leaving Dali, Lu Jia and I made a promise... If, a year from now, we're still in this state, and haven't started new relationships... then we'll get married... It's been almost a year already."
