"If you were in a time of turmoil, you would be the kind of person most likely to become a traitor."
"Don't try to pin any accusations on me... Let's stick to the facts. In the motorcycle industry, domestically produced motorcycles are indeed subpar... Top-tier clubs are no longer allowing domestically produced motorcycles in, and that's the trend!"
"You need to make this clear first, are you rejecting me as a person, or my car... If you're rejecting me as a person, I really think you guys have no taste... Do you think I, Michael, would even look at those girls in the car team?... You really have no idea how beautiful my ex-girlfriends were..."
Fish Head interrupted me, saying, "Stop bragging, okay? With your stingy attitude, what girl would even look at you? Seriously, everyone dislikes you. Every time there's an event, we try to exclude you, but you're always the most enthusiastic one. You're always an hour or so before the agreed time... Tell me, what are you trying to achieve? You just want to show off in front of a few girls... I've seen plenty of people like you... But even if you're just trying to show off, you should at least have some financial means... We car enthusiasts really don't treat money like it's nothing... But tell me, have you ever offered to pay once during our team building activities? Everyone thinks you're boring and not a good friend!"
"Did I treat you all to mutton soup last time I ran the New North route?"
"Thank you so much for the mutton soup that costs 7 yuan a bowl... my goodness!"
I didn't say anything, and I didn't feel anything... I was just hanging out with these kids because it was fun and helped me relieve the boredom of daily life... I was really bored. I've been idle for half a year, and I haven't earned a single penny during that time.
Fish Head continued, "Brother Mi, you'd better be more careful... The last time I encountered someone like you was back in school, in a textbook... You know, that Ah Q from Lu Xun's story... Don't you look like him? You're so old, and you still don't have a girlfriend... You're always thinking about the girls in the car team... Those young girls, do you think they're your type... You should just quit the club and think about your personal life properly, instead of just loafing around all day... You don't seem to have a single proper job, the villagers are all on guard against you..."
I smiled and replied, "Are you here to make me quit the club, or to teach me how to be a decent human being?"
“I get called a good-for-nothing every day, but I’m not qualified to teach you how to be a person… But the people in the village are gossipy… You better watch yourself… You should also think carefully about the club matter.”
"If you refund all the previous membership fees to me, I will refund them."
"Look at you... look at you... how unethical you are!"
"If you don't back down, I won't back down either... It's okay if you're annoyed with me, as long as I like you all."
...
Just as I was arguing haphazardly with Yu Tou, my phone, the only one that delivery guys would ever use, suddenly vibrated in my pocket... I picked it up and looked at it; it was a Shanghai number that seemed familiar.
I stared at it for a long time before answering the call.
“Michael, this is Jian Zihan… You must be quite surprised, but finding your new number isn’t difficult…”
After a moment of silence, she continued, "Ye Zi is back... It happened about a month ago... She hadn't been in contact with anyone, so I only heard about it yesterday... I really want to know what she's been through in the past year... But no one knows except her..."
"What...what did you say?"
“She’s back… You’re not dreaming, and neither am I… She’s in Shanghai… But she hasn’t contacted me… She definitely hasn’t contacted you either… She survived that shipwreck… It’s absolutely true!”
It was so sudden, just like when I heard she had an accident in Thailand, even more sudden than this.
I looked up and gazed at the distant sea... The setting sun hung obliquely on the horizon... That area was golden.
