In the dim light, I turned on the floor lamp closest to me, and then subconsciously reached into my pocket. I've gotten into the habit of smoking a cigarette when I'm thinking about something or remembering someone.
Unfortunately, the pack of cigarettes I had before had been soaked to dust by seawater, and I didn't even think to buy a new one after I got back.
I resisted the urge to smoke, then took an empty glass from the coffee table and poured myself a glass of water. I used this to quench my thirst and alleviate the emptiness I felt from not being able to satisfy my craving for cigarettes.
My smoking habit has definitely gotten a bit heavy lately, probably because I have too many worries...
Before coming to Sanya, I really hoped to have a transparent container to put myself in and then look at the world from an isolated state... I hate all the troubles in this world, but I can't lose contact with it, so it has to be a transparent container.
Now I'm finally relieved, because I have Ye Zhi as my girlfriend... I've always considered myself a fairly calm man, but the thought of us being in a relationship fills me with joy, followed by excitement...
I couldn't control myself. It felt like standing on a boundless grassland and seeing the aurora borealis, which only appears once in a very short time, like seeing the entrance to heaven.
Yes, my ability to express myself is limited, and this is the best I can do to describe how I feel about becoming boyfriend and girlfriend with Ye Zhi.
As for suddenly thinking of Yang Sisi, I felt strange but not surprised... because human thinking is divergent, and it's impossible for me to completely forget Yang Sisi in my mind. Even if I don't think of her now, I will think of her at some point in the future. And this kind of thinking is very random and not deliberate... just like you suddenly think of a junior high school classmate or a former colleague you haven't contacted in a long time.
...
At 7:30, I left the room, and Ye Zhi was already waiting for me in the hotel lobby... After we met, she handed me a car key, and as I took it from her, I asked, "Where are you going?"
"Let me treat you to a seafood feast at the underwater restaurant."
"An underwater restaurant?"
"Yes, you can see all kinds of tropical fish, and there are mermaid shows. The atmosphere for dining is quite nice!"
"It's a little different from what I expected."
"You don't want to go?"
I replied indirectly, "Don't let my boisterous personality fool you; deep down, I really love quiet and open spaces. So, I'm thinking of finding a small fishing village by the sea, buying some seafood, and cooking it myself... Just imagining the feeling of drinking beer while feeling the sea breeze is amazing! More importantly..."
I deliberately stopped, waiting for Ye Zhi to ask me.
After this incident, Ye Zhi changed her previous cold demeanor, so she looked at me with great patience and gentleness. She smiled and asked me, "What's more important?... I hope you can be a little more serious."
Her smile almost melted my heart, so I smiled back and said, "More importantly, I'm a selfish person with a very strong possessive streak... I'm telling you very seriously now, you are the most beautiful, most elegant, and most captivating woman I've ever met in my life... How lucky I am to have met so many women in my life, yet this best one has become my girlfriend... I can't let this luck go to waste, so I want to possess you. I don't want you to go to a crowded restaurant alone and have so many people staring at you... You can only belong to me. I can look at you standing, sitting, lying down... But it's not allowed for anyone else to even glance at you. From now on, I'm a vinegar factory owner, specializing in aged vinegar!"
Ye Zhi looked a little embarrassed and avoided my gaze, replying, "Isn't that a bit cheesy?!"
"So, do you like hearing this?... I have even more cheesy stuff to say."
"I dare not listen."
"But I dare say..."
Perhaps because my conversation with Ye Zhi lasted quite a while, it attracted some attention...
Ye Zhi didn't like this kind of attention. She whispered to me, "I know you're shameless... If you still want to eat seafood and drink beer, can you not waste your time here?"
"Okay... Let's find a secluded spot, and I'll tell you secretly while I drink a beer..."
"I really can't do anything with you... I can't hear anything!"
I looked at Ye Zhi, who pretended to ignore my presence and then checked her phone to prove that she wasn't really paying attention to me.
It turns out that she also has a cute and slightly silly side.
...
Before night fell, Ye Zhi and I walked out of the hotel side by side. There was a convertible sports car parked in front of the hotel, and the license plate matched the car key Ye Zhi had given me... This was the first time in my life that I had ever driven a convertible, and it was by the sea.
I don't worship material things, but it's undeniable that high-quality luxury goods can sometimes bring a very sophisticated enjoyment.
I imagine that when I open the convertible top, with Ye Zhi sitting next to me, and we drive along the endless coastal road, we are sure to be heading towards the door of happiness.
Before getting into the car, I put my backpack, which only contained some personal items, into the trunk, and then said to Ye Zhi, "After we finish eating, I'll head straight to the airport..."
Ye Zhi hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.
I felt inexplicably sad, but it was precisely because of this sorrow of having to leave that the time we could still spend together felt so precious…
