"It's nothing."
"Alright then, are you going to send someone over now?"
"Um."
Although we've been talking about the car, Ye Zhi has already indirectly given me an answer: she won't be coming back to the small town with me anymore. That's why she had someone pick up the car now. I can't blame her for breaking her promise, after all, she gave me a chance.
A moment later, a man came over and took the car from me. The car owner was indeed a woman, and the man who came to get the keys was her driver. I offered to pay 1,000 yuan in compensation, but he said it wasn't necessary because the car owner ran an Audi 4S store in Dali, so this minor repair wouldn't cost him anything.
...
After the man left, I sent Ye Zhi another message to tell her that the car had been successfully retrieved, but she did not reply.
What I really want to know is whether she is still in Dali right now, and if so, how she will spend New Year's Eve tomorrow.
No, it's today, because without realizing it, it's already past midnight.
After finishing a bottle of beer, Ye Zhi finally replied to the message: "Michael, thank you for being in my life. You showed me a different world, a world that was novel and full of human warmth... But it also proves that we are not from the same world. You're right, we can't assume we can live the same life just because of a little bit of affection... After the initial feelings fade, we still can't escape the shackles of reality... So, I'm leaving... I wish you all the best!"
My head was buzzing. After an argument, Ye Zhi chose to leave Dali and me in the way I least wanted to see...
I suppose that's just her straightforward personality, but it really bothers me!
I quickly replied: "I don't think we should say goodbye like this... I feel like it's the last time!"
After the message was sent, a circle first appeared on the message bar, followed by an official notification that the other party was no longer your friend, and a painful red exclamation mark indicating that the other party was no longer receiving messages.
...
My lips twitched, and I slammed my hand down on my hair, pulling at it while laughing self-deprecatingly... At that moment, I wished I had a mirror so I could see how heartbroken, how lost, how lonely and helpless I was!
...
In the deepest darkness of the night, I rode my little ninja at breakneck speed, then collapsed on the lakeside road, by the Erhai Lake illuminated by countless lights. I breathed heavily, thinking that this would provide enough oxygen, but my spirit was becoming more and more fragmented!
How can I face the fact that I'm about to grow a year older amidst this beautiful scenery? And where is Ye Zhi right now? What should she be doing?
I couldn't see her, but I saw a woman in a high position, so fierce and uncompromising; I had to believe that in her heart, authority was greater than everything else. At this moment, she would never have thought of the margaritas we picked up together by Erhai Lake, nor would she have thought of me in this world...
