I have forgotten how the conversation with Fu Yan ended that day. Probably he felt guilty, while I was calm and composed.

After Brother Egg and Fu Yan left in the evening, A stayed in the hospital to accompany me. After all, this was just an island, and medical facilities were not developed enough. There was only a sofa for A to sleep on. I was really tormented that day, suffering both physically and mentally. I fell asleep quickly leaning against the bed. Waking up in a daze in the middle of the night, I saw A sitting on the sofa, holding a pen and paper, checking his phone while writing something. The paper was densely written. I checked the time; it was already past one o’clock at night. This couldn’t be a travel guide, right? He was usually too lazy to check. In the past, I would say where to go and he would say okay. I couldn’t help asking what he was doing.

He picked up the medicine the doctor prescribed for me and shook it, saying: “These medicines are all in English. I can’t understand them, so I’m checking if there’s anything to pay attention to. Medicine can’t be taken randomly.”

The doctor who prescribed the medicine for me spoke English. When he told us how to take the medicine in the afternoon, we barely understood the dosage and combination, but when it came to dietary restrictions, all three of us were confused.

“Oh.” I didn’t know what else to reply. It was rare to see A care about me for once.

A is a person who does things as he pleases. Occasionally, when he is in a good mood, he can pretend to spoil me for two or three days, but after a long time, I understand that it’s just a three-minute passion, not lasting long. No one has the energy to keep someone they don’t love in their heart and spoil them every day.

He can occasionally act like he cares about me very much, but that is conditional. Last time it was because my mom passed away, this time it was because I fell into the sea. I tried hard for five years but couldn’t get an equal relationship. I always have to pay one or two tragic prices to make the scale in his heart tilt a little towards me, and it’s all due to sympathy points.

So now I’m tired. I don’t want such sympathy points anymore.

I don’t know what time A went to sleep that night. When I woke up, he was sitting on the chair next to my bed, his head resting next to my pillow. His right hand was actually interlaced with my left hand. Previously, we would only do such intimate actions in bed. I wasn’t used to it and quickly pulled my hand back.

A was woken up by my movement of pulling my hand back. He rubbed my hair and asked if my foot still hurt. I shook my head. So he helped me wash up, fed me breakfast, and took me back to the hotel.

In the afternoon, A and the others went to discuss medical expenses with the jet ski company. I heard D’s girlfriend speaks English very well, so there was no big problem with communication. Later, that company covered my medical expenses. I breathed a sigh of relief. Since I decided to break up, I would definitely have to pay A back when we returned. Speaking of this, I have to complain about foreign medical care. I spent nearly 10,000 dollars seeing the doctor that day, which is 60,000 RMB if rounded up. For someone like me who just started working, it’s basically a big pit, the kind with lots of maggots inside. In the future, whoever says foreign medical care is better than in China, I will fight them <(￣ €€ ￣)>.

That day I lay alone in the hotel, extremely bored. Our flight was booked for the day after tomorrow. For a moment, I wanted to buy a ticket for the next day and go home directly, but seeing the ticket price multiplied by five, I calmed down. It wasn’t easy for my mom to raise my sister and me. Unlike A and his friends whose families have so much money for them to squander, I just started working and don’t have much money. When I occasionally want to be willful, I also have to think about whether I can afford it.

The doctor said the cast couldn’t get wet, so I couldn’t take a shower and could only wipe my body. When A came back in the evening, he saw me dragging one leg and holding a towel, doing something unknown. He came over to help me wipe. I said no. He pretended not to understand, snatched the towel, and wanted to take off my clothes. I wasn’t as strong as him. In a hurry, I pushed him. The bathroom was too slippery, and he almost fell.

A looked at me puzzled: What’s wrong with you?

Me: I’ll wipe myself.

A: What if you fall later?

Me: I’ll wipe myself.

A: …………

Me: Get out.

A: …………

When A left the bathroom, he was angry. The door was slammed shut with a “bang”.

A few minutes later, he came in again, looking at me helplessly and said: “Although I don’t know how I offended you, don’t be angry with yourself, okay? If you really fall later, you’ll have to set the bone and get a cast again. Wasn’t yesterday’s pain enough?”

I thought about it and felt what he said made sense, so I shouldn’t stand, I should sit down and wipe slowly.

I looked up at A: “Go bring a chair in for me.”

A went out and brought in the chair that looked like a sofa from outside.

Me: Okay, you can go out now.

A: …………

The next day, Brother Egg and the others went to play as planned. Actually, I felt very guilty. Because of my matter, everyone didn’t have fun in the first two days, busy up and down. Everyone works for a company, whose annual leave isn’t precious?

That day, A found a wheelchair from somewhere, put me on it, and pushed me to visit the beach. The wheelchair couldn’t go onto the beach, only watch from the cement ground far from the sea. A pushed me to a high viewing platform where I could see the panoramic view of the beach.

There were many people on the beach. A family taking children out to play, two young lovers snuggling together, and a few friends playing around. The sun was bright, the sea breeze was slightly humid, and the sea water was so blue that it connected with the horizon in the distance. Occasionally, a few seagulls flew leisurely across the sky. Everything looked so beautiful.

I turned to look at A. He was standing against the light. The halo of the sun outlined his three-dimensional features. Thinking back, it was this good-looking appearance that attracted me. I suddenly remembered the day I successfully confessed to him for the first time. It was also a sunny day. He had just won a ball game. The cheering crowd on the court gradually dispersed. I sat side by side with him in the audience. He smiled and said a few words to me. I forgot what he said. At that time, I just felt that when he smiled, he seemed to glow, and there were stars and the sea in his eyes. So I suddenly blurted out: “Do you want a boyfriend like me?”

He was stunned, then nodded and agreed.

At that time, there were a thousand fireworks blooming in my heart, scrambling to be first. It was like I had eaten a ton of honey, feeling that I was the happiest and luckiest person in the world.

If only time could stay in that moment forever. If only life could be just like the first meeting.

“Remember the first time you went to the seaside with me?” A pointed to a child crying in the distance for some unknown reason and said, “You, a person almost 1.8 meters tall, were pinched by a crab until you almost cried.”

“That really hurt!” I remember that time we went to Hainan. I was just walking casually on the beach. Who knew I could step on a crab? It pinched me until my skin broke and I bled a lot. I used all my strength to hold back my tears. Those were not tears of grievance, but physiological tears. Since then, A called me “Little Crybaby”.

Suddenly, many familiar scenes came rushing towards me. The scene of me kicking him when I lost playing games at home, the scene of A hugging me happily saying how to decorate the house in the future, the scene of him drunk smiling and saying Xiaoxi I love you. In an instant, they all surged in my mind. Lhasa, Xiamen, Siem Reap… all the places we had been to together, things we had done, passed through my mind like a movie, fleetingly.

It turns out that when it comes to the end, I still only want to remember these happy things.

I don’t know if A also thought of something emotional. He lowered his head and kissed me gently on the lips. Two tourists nearby looked at us with smiles.

This time I didn’t push him away. Five years of time in exchange for a parting kiss. I thought, since we started on a sunny and breezy day, let’s end on a sunny and breezy day too.

After washing up and going to bed at night, the lights were turned off. A lay next to my pillow, covered me with the quilt, turned around to hug me, rested his head on my shoulder, and rambled about what to do tomorrow, what to do the day after tomorrow. I listened but didn’t answer.

A seemed to have gotten used to my state of ignoring him these past few days and didn’t mind. He continued to talk about his arrangements. As he spoke, he reached out and pinched my cheek: “When your foot is better, let’s take a few more days off during the National Day holiday and find a quiet beach to have fun for a few days. You didn’t have fun this time.”

The night was so deep. When I turned my head, I actually saw a glimmer of light in his eyes by the moonlight. Such a quiet night, such an intimate posture, such gentle words, easy to make people believe it’s true.

I removed his hand that was pinching my face, turned to look at him, my voice very calm: “Pei Hao, let’s break up.”

[1st Floor] Alex Is Vanilla Flavor: Ahhhhh broke up broke up!

[21st Floor] Take Me To fei: Xiaoxi, didn’t you say before that A never said he loved you?

[22nd Floor] [OP] Just Registered A Random Account: Said when drunk doesn’t count.
