"Of course they're in a hurry! A gold ring costs at least several thousand!"
Coach Ma nodded and said, "Then your mother started looking everywhere, and while she was looking, she unexpectedly found a diamond ring worth tens of thousands of yuan. Do you think she would still be thinking about the lost gold ring?"
"Isn't the person who lost the diamond ring even more anxious?"
"Damn, aren't you just being stubborn? I'm trying to make you understand the meaning behind this."
I pondered for a moment, then tentatively asked, "You mean: my ex-girlfriend is that lost gold ring?"
"Right, why don't you just find your parents a diamond ring? ...Tell me, with a diamond ring, who the hell would still want that old piece of gold?"
I thought for a long time and replied, "I understand what you mean, but where am I supposed to find such a diamond ring and explain it to my parents?"
"I'm just giving you a suggestion; the rest is up to you."
I nodded and said nothing more, but I admired Coach Ma's rather drastic philosophy of life! Sometimes, being ruthless in dealing with your own contradictions can really bring unexpected rewards.

I have a mirror in my heart, and I know exactly what kind of person I am, so I know better than anyone whether Ye Zhi and I are a good match.
Just as I was weighing my options, my phone, which was next to the cigarette pack, rang again. Unsurprisingly, it was my dad calling. I hesitated because I hadn't decided whether to tell the lie or not. If I did, how could I make it sound convincing without any flaws?
At this moment, I have no other thoughts. I just want to stay in Dali peacefully and run the guesthouse as a business. I also hope to get my parents' understanding and support for my choice, instead of forcing me to go back to Shanghai...
Just as I was hesitating, Coach Ma patted my shoulder, signaling that he would go back to the inn first... So, by the flickering fire, I was left alone, caught in a dilemma.
