...
Actually, I should have communicated with her properly, but I gave up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity... It's not my fault, I was very confused. I was worried about Yang Sisi's safety, so I wanted to say everything in the simplest way possible... I just wanted a result as soon as possible.
Gradually, I calmed down...
I understand Ye Zhi a little better now... In this situation, what's the point of talking it out? Like her, I also have a lot in my heart that I want to say but can't say out loud.
We are all people with heavy burdens.
Perhaps she was protecting me.
...
After an unknown amount of time, the rain gradually stopped, and through the gaps between the trees, the starry sky could be seen deep in the Cangshan Mountains...
Just then, a beam of red light was faintly seen shooting into the sky.
I called out to Ye Zhi and asked her to confirm.
Ye Zhi nodded.
My tense nerves finally relaxed. This was a signal sent by the rescue team to the people down the mountain. This beam of red light meant that Yang Sisi had been found... She was finally safe.
Fortunately, we ran to such an open area, which allowed us to learn that Yang Sisi had been rescued immediately.
The world has truly become quiet.
It was at this moment that Ye Zhi took out the laser flashlight used to transmit signals from her pocket.
She's calmer than me... Since we're in this position and can see the signals from other groups, they must be able to see our signals too... They'll come looking for us sooner or later.
...
I sat down next to Ye Zhi again; once the burden in my heart disappeared, my mind became peaceful. I lit another cigarette and said to her, "Thank you."
"You're welcome. Sisi is my friend too."
I nodded, and after a moment of silence, I said, "There are some things, some things, even if you don't want to tell me, I roughly know... Waiting for another person, not knowing how long it will last, is actually a very painful thing... I've been thinking: if the first thing you do after you come back is to come find me... then I will definitely hold you tightly, and with a thousand words, I will only say one thing: just come back... You know, I can't forget you... Feelings are a strange thing. I know there are many incompatibilities between us, but I just can't forget... But is it because of love, or because of hate, that I can't forget?" This is really hard to figure out! ...I, Michael, have never been afraid of anything. What I fear most is your indifference...Why can't you let me suffer with you? ...Can you tell me? ...Let me untangle this knot in my heart...After all, I'm someone who's destined for great things. Being constantly entangled in emotional matters diminishes my perspective...You have to understand me. I hope that after today, I can be empty-handed and start over...If that's impossible, then you can turn me into a homeless person...Even if I live aimlessly, at least I'll be happy...right?"
I repeated, "Isn't that right, darling?"
Ye Zhi looked at me... The atmosphere was a mix of warmth and coldness.
