After a long silence, Zhou San said to me in a very sincere tone, "Brother, don't you understand yet? Between you and my fourth brother, I actually hope you can live a better life. I'm only grateful to my fourth brother, but you are the only brother in my heart!"
"Heh... You're the kind of person who's as dumb as a block of wood when you're being silly, yet you can say such sentimental things?!"
I was joking about Wednesday, but inside I felt a strange sense of gloom... (Tank's new book is first published on the WeChat official account "Tank's Bookstall". Remember to follow for pictures of the main character and daily interaction with the author.)
I miss Yang Sisi, and my thoughts aren't so simple; if that incident hadn't happened, and we were already married, what kind of life would we be living now?
I had no answer. After a deep sigh, I focused my gaze on the jujube tree in the center of the yard, and my vision gradually blurred... It was as if I could see Yang Sisi standing under the jujube tree, and someone whispering in our ears, "May you have a son soon."
Actually, I'm quite scared too... I'm afraid that the reason I'll give up on Yang Sisi won't be because of this injured leg, but because of Ye Zhi...
In this way, I'll have let everyone down!

At 10 a.m., I met with Instructor Ma outside the ancient city. He was driving a Changan Ruixing, which was their temple's official vehicle. I could see Zen sayings and the temple's contact information pasted on the car, showing his ambition to promote the temple to the world.
Everyone says that monks are detached from worldly desires, yet this temple is so adept at propaganda. I can't help but find it ridiculous and hypocritical; but I didn't express my feelings to Instructor Ma because I wasn't in the mood to argue with him.
As I sat in the car, I kept looking out the window. Every now and then, buildings and trees would be reflected distortedly on the window, just like my unease at that moment... I could imagine what kind of suffering Tie Nan had endured inside for the past two years. What was even more terrifying was that Tao Zi, whom he loved deeply, had married someone else not long ago.
I couldn't help but wonder what kind of magnanimity I needed to make Tie Nan forgive all of this?

As the car drew closer to its destination, I felt increasingly regretful, realizing that convincing myself to confront Tetsuo was a mistake.
