In the movie theater, Ye Zhi and I chose a newly released American blockbuster. Actually, for me, it didn't matter whether it was a local Thai movie or an American movie, because I don't understand English, and here it was translated into Thai. So, I was just there to kill time, or rather, to find a feeling I'd never had before... In my memory, this was the first time Ye Zhi and I had been to a movie theater.
In the dim light, I turned to look at Ye Zhi beside me. She was already wearing 3D glasses, and I couldn't see her expression, but I could sense that her motivation was simple: she came to watch a movie. However, I couldn't find any mood to enjoy a movie at all.
If Ye Zhi is a high peak in my heart, then I am now almost at the summit. Because of this, I have seen many landscapes that belong to her heart: helplessness, resentment, reluctance, heart-wrenching pain, and also full of expectations.
She's becoming more and more vivid in my mind, but the more vivid she becomes, the more uncomfortable I feel... I want to share her pain and fulfill her expectations, but I feel powerless to do so.
To put it bluntly, if I had a gun right now and didn't have to bear the consequences, I would definitely find her enemy without hesitation and kill him with one shot.
...
The movie had started, and I put on my 3D glasses. After watching for about ten minutes, I took my phone out of my pocket and sent Chen Jin a message asking, "Are you busy right now?"
"Busy. The hotel is hosting a conference for foreign guests today, and they're having a banquet right now. Is there anything I can help you with?"
I'd like to talk to you.
"Are you depressed again?"
“Depression is a minor issue. I’m depressed every single day of the year, so there’s no need for me to come to you and complain.”
"Then wait for me for half an hour, and I'll call you later."
"Don't call, I'm at the movie theater. Text me when you're done."
...
After sending the message, I turned my attention back to the video that was playing. Then, because I was preoccupied, I instinctively wanted to find something to play with. Just as I reached for the drink cup on the cup holder, Ye Zhi also reached out her hand at the same time.
After a brief touch, we parted ways again. At that moment, neither of us could see the other as someone in love, nor could we overcome our psychological barriers to find joy in our suffering.
Ye Zhi leaned closer to me and then asked in my ear, "Aren't you bored?"
"It's not boring. Although I don't know what the people in it are saying, the visuals are still quite nice... I'll definitely watch the Chinese version again when I go back to China."
After saying that, I looked at Ye Zhi, but a sudden feeling of gloom washed over me. Although it was something I said unintentionally, it struck a nerve. I wondered who would be with me when I watched this movie again after returning to China…
If it weren't for Ye Zhi, if she were all alone, how heartbroken would she be?
I don't know if Ye Zhi sensed my...
At that moment, since she didn't say anything more, I forced myself to shift my attention and immerse myself in a movie that I couldn't understand at all.
A moment later, laughter filled the theater, and I realized it was an action comedy... but I didn't know where to start laughing, and I felt deeply lonely because of it.
It wasn't until Chen Jin sent me a message that I was able to pull myself out of that emotional state.
...
I adjusted the screen brightness to a level where only I could see clearly, and then read Chen Jin's message...
"I'm all done with my work. Just tell me what's wrong."
Do you think Ye Zhi trusts you?
Why are you suddenly asking this?
"Just answer, don't ask why."
"From my personal experience, she trusts me because the work she assigns me involves the hotel's core business... I feel that once I adapt to the environment here, she might transfer me to a more important position. I have a strong feeling that after two years in Dali, I might have to go back to Shanghai..."
"That's good... Now I have a favor to ask of you... If you really go to the headquarters of Binjiang Group, you must help me find out who Ye Zhi's biggest enemy is in the entire Binjiang Group; also, was her grandfather really framed and imprisoned by her father back then..."
"Her maternal grandfather?"
"Her maternal grandfather is the founder of Binjiang Group. I only know the general outline right now; you'll have to find out for yourself."

"I understand, family feud! ... If that's the case, Ye Zhi's life is too tragic, isn't it? Her own father actually framed her maternal grandfather for profit! ... No wonder, the Binjiang Group is such a huge enterprise, it's like an empire... In the past, those princes did a lot of things like patricide to seize the throne as soon as possible... Humans really are a kind of animal that never fully evolves! What terrifying ambition!"
“Let’s not talk about unimportant things… but you have to help me investigate this matter thoroughly.”
"Then what?"
"Good and evil will eventually be rewarded. Whoever is the most wicked, my knife will be pointed at him!"
This time, Chen Jin took a long time to reply, "Is it worth getting yourself caught in such a huge fire?"
I adjusted my glasses, then stared blankly at the movie screen for a long time...
Amidst the explosive special effects, I finally replied, "I don't know if it's worth it... This is the last time I'll ever do it, without hesitation... No one is born to suffer, I hope she can be a little happier..."
"You're insane!"
"I'm not crazy... I swear, after this, I will definitely become a normal person who seeks advantage and avoids harm."
...
After sending that message, my heart was pounding, so I tried again...
Forced by fate to immerse myself in the movie theater environment, it took me about ten minutes to gradually calm down before I finally put my phone back in my pocket.
Midway through, someone went to the restroom and passed by me and Ye Zhi. Ye Zhi changed her sitting position to make room for him to leave. At that moment, Ye Zhi gently took my hand again, and with her other hand, she protected my leg, which had just undergone surgery, to prevent that person from touching me.
My eyes felt hot, and my nose stung.
What's this?
These are two people facing hardship, yet they are doing everything in their power to protect each other.
...
Then I had a delusion that there was a road in front of us, and along the way, we would wander apart and finally meet again at the end; but the end of the road was also the end of life.
This feeling of losing my love forever terrified me. I held her hand tightly... I wanted to leave a mark on my hand so that I could remember her in the next life!
