I was taken aback. "Do I really look like Ma Ming?"
Yu Shishi nodded. "Yeah! You sound just like him! And your build is quite similar too! That's why I suspected you were Ma Ming!"
I forced a smile. "But we clearly look very different!"
Yu Shishi sighed. "Exactly, that's why I mistook you for him."
I was a bit speechless. "So how did you figure out I wasn't Ma Ming?"
Yu Shishi laughed. "Because your behavior is too upright! If you really wanted to blackmail me, you wouldn't have sent me that video! You would have hidden away and tried to extort me secretly!"
I suddenly understood. "So that's how it is!"
Yu Shishi chuckled. "Of course! You're actually quite clever."
I shrugged helplessly. "Well, it doesn't matter now; it's all in the past."
Yu Shishi nodded. "Right! Besides, Ma Ming has already been caught!"
I smiled. "Yeah, it's all thanks to you."
Yu Shishi beamed. "Of course! I'm quite the heroine!"
She then told me that her sister had once gone through a very unfortunate incident.
When they were in middle school, they had been locked in a room by the owner of a grocery store.
The boss intended to violate them, and in order to protect her sister, she knelt before him and pleaded.
"Please, boss, I only have this one sister left! If you must violate us, then take me instead!"
"Please, spare my sister!"
"She's still young; she doesn't understand!"
"I am willing to serve you in her place!"
"Just please let her go!"
In the end, Yu Shishi was able to maintain her innocence.
However, her sister fell victim to the boss.
This incident had a profound impact on her.
She developed severe depression and engaged in various self-harming behaviors every day.
Yu Shishi felt heartbroken for her sister and did her best to comfort her.
After much effort, she managed to stabilize her sister's condition, only for another tragedy to occur.
As Yu Shishi spoke, she suddenly covered her face and began to cry.
Her tears flowed heavily, as if she were expressing the grievances of all these years.
I sighed, unsure of what to say.
All I could think was that fate had been incredibly unfair to the two sisters.
After finishing our meal, I walked out of the restaurant with Yu Shishi.
Suddenly, Yu Shishi asked me, "Gao Yang, what do you think of me?"
I smiled and replied, "You're very beautiful!"
Yu Shishi sighed, "Thank you for the compliment."
With that, she turned and walked away.
I stood there in a daze.
A girl as beautiful as Yu Shishi must have many admirers.
And what about me?
Burdened with a year’s worth of debt, I had to go to Guangzhou to work and pay it off.
I had no right to confess my feelings to her, let alone the ability to offer her a future.
Especially in the context of the pandemic, I could barely take care of my own life; how could I look after her?
Perhaps there was an invisible wall between Yu Shishi and me.
There was no spark to take us further, yet the intimacy we once shared felt distant.
Perhaps we are merely passersby in each other's lives.
Thinking of this, I shook my head with a bitter smile.
Then, I turned my back to her and walked in the opposite direction.
In that moment, a thought suddenly flashed through my mind.
If I hadn't boasted back then, perhaps my relationship with Yu Shishi wouldn't have turned out this way.
Indeed!
While boasting may provide a fleeting sense of superiority, the consequences can be quite severe.
Especially for a girl like Yu Shishi, she must think of me as a frivolous person.
After all, she is someone who would sacrifice her own purity for her sister!
I shook my head with a bitter smile, filled with frustration and self-reproach.
Perhaps this is the price of boasting!
