"I'm not even curious about what you look like, why are you curious about me?... If you want to know how handsome I am, send me a picture of yourself first."
Our chat ended here again. I'm used to it by now. I put my phone back on my pillow and closed my eyes... I hope I'll wake up to a nice day tomorrow, because I don't like parting with people on a rainy day.
Just an hour earlier, Yang Sisi sent me her ID number, and I had already booked her a flight from Dali to Shanghai for 2 PM tomorrow online.
...
The next day, after I got up, I called Sun Jiwei. Upon hearing the news, he immediately drove from Xiaguan to our guesthouse. We invited him to a small bar and then discussed some details of the transfer with him. His friend was on a business trip in Shenzhen and wouldn't be able to come to Dali to meet us for two days.
Sun Jiwei said that as long as we agree on the transfer price of 2 million, he can make the decision for his friend on some details.
After chatting for a while, we reached an agreement on the details. Then, Sun Jiwei took out 20,000 yuan in cash from his bag and placed it in front of us, saying, "This money is a deposit from my friend. Please accept it first. Then I will have a lawyer draft a transfer contract. When he comes to Dali, you can meet again to sign the contract. Once the contract is signed, the transfer fee will be directly transferred to your account."
I nodded to indicate that there was no problem.
Sun Jiwei didn't stay long after the deal was settled. After he left, the rest of us looked at the 20,000 yuan deposit he left behind, but none of us reached out to take it. It was as if the money was a knife that would kill the inn, and none of us wanted to be the executioner who picked up the knife.
...
Around noon, I called Xiao Song from the car rental company we work with and borrowed his BMW 525. I'll drive that car to take Yang Sisi to the airport later.
As Xiao Song took out his car keys, he asked me with a worried look, "Brother, are you really going to transfer ownership of this inn?"
"Um."
"What about our cooperation? I took out a loan to buy that Mercedes. If you guys cancel the deal, I'll be crushed by the loan!"
I patted him on the shoulder and laughed, "Don't worry, we invited the next supplier over today to talk about your business. They've agreed to continue working with your dealership under the same conditions, so don't feel guilty. Just do your job well."
Xiao Song smiled and replied, "Okay, I'm relieved to hear that from you, brother... Brother, drive carefully on the road later. I have to go to the ancient city to talk to someone about some things, so I'll be going now."
After he finished speaking, he handed me the car keys. I took them from him and said, "Go ahead, come pick up the car around four o'clock this afternoon. It won't take me long."
Xiao Song responded and got into the car that had come with him, then disappeared from my sight. I subconsciously looked back and felt a sense of loss again... It seemed that all I could see and do now was say goodbye to this inn.
I know that this feeling will only intensify after Yang Sisi leaves!
...
I leaned against the car door and lit a cigarette in the midday sun. Not long after, I saw Yang Sisi dragging her suitcase out of the inn, while Taozi helped her carry another woven bag containing clothes.
And this cruel thing called separation is gradually getting closer to us.
