As I was thinking this, Ye Zhi had already pulled my arm and walked across the street. The "Erhai Moon" that was just a moment ago was quickly left behind by us.
...
Ye Zhi and I sat facing each other at a low table. The very small stool made me uncomfortable, as did the tall Ye Zhi. She didn't even have a place to put her handbag; she could only place it between her legs.
Are you cold?
"kind of."
Without saying a word, I took off my coat and handed it to her.
Aren't you cold?
"I'm not cold. You're still not fully recovered from your illness, so hurry up and put these on."
Ye Zhi put on my coat, then rubbed her hands together. Fortunately, it wasn't long before the old man brought two steaming bowls of rice noodles to us. The old man wasn't a talkative person either, so amidst the rising steam, there were three equally silent people, two sitting and one standing... Fallen leaves were occasionally blown down by the wind, landing on the table and at our feet...
Ye Zhi finally spoke, asking me, "Did Uncle say anything after he got home?"
"Let me treat you well and not argue with you."
Ye Zhi glanced at me, then smiled and replied, "I don't believe him saying that."
"Why?"

A feeling I couldn't quite describe welled up inside me, and it took me a long time before I said, "We're the kind of couple who, after breaking up, can neither be friends nor get back together."
"Why?"
"Because I harbor hatred... She hates me, and I hate her too."
What do you hate about her?
I only know that I hate her, but if you force me to explain why I hate her, I can't say. So it's a very difficult question for me to answer. So, I jokingly replied, "Did the headaches and fevers change your genes? You don't seem like someone with so many problems."
"Then I won't ask."
After Ye Zhi finished speaking, she lowered her head and continued eating her rice noodles.
But after she threw out a few questions, I became curious, so I moved closer to her and asked, "Have you ever been in a relationship? The kind that's really heartbreaking?"
