Su Yanchi left, pushed out by the boss lady.

Because I started crying again, at that time I thought I was really hopeless, always crying.

The boss lady saw my tears, quickly walked out from behind the counter, scolded while forcefully pushing the still dazed Su Yanchi out of the door.

Then turned around and hugged me.

In a foreign land, the warmth given by someone I had just met four days ago made me unable to hold back my tears any longer.

After crying, I became more determined to part ways with Su Yanchi.

In the following two days, Su Yanchi did not appear again.

Perhaps after listening to what I said, he finally saw clearly his own heart and decided to let me go.

Or perhaps, now that he was already a big star, he didn't have much time to waste on me and hurried back to continue his work.

But no matter what the reason, it was a good thing for me and my journey.

On the sixth day in Xinjiang, I bid farewell to the boss lady and set off for the next destination.

The local customs along the way, as well as the other strangers traveling in Xinjiang that I met, made me calm down.

We wrapped ourselves in thick clothing under the glacier, talked about the past in the wind and snow, shared our own lives, and sighed about the impermanence of life.

We made a pact to exchange names if we meet again next time.

So we began to look forward to meeting strangers again in the vast world and the vast sea of people.

During this journey, the people and events I encountered provided me with a lot of inspiration.

I started recording while walking, planning to edit these materials into a documentary after my journey in Xinjiang ended.

Every time I turned on the camera, I asked for their opinion. If they agreed, I recorded a kind of life.

Su Yanchi came back.

At that time, I was in the desert, over a month had passed since the last time I met Su Yanchi in the guesthouse.

In the midst of the yellow sand, this time, I could finally talk to Su Yanchi calmly.

I was sure that this time I would not shed tears again.

He looked a bit more matured, his face looking very tired.

The strong desert wind blew, the sand hitting our faces painfully, I was glad I wore sunglasses, otherwise I wouldn't be able to see the road clearly if my eyes were blinded by the sand.

I flipped my hair, my camera hanging around my neck.

The voice Su Yanchi spoke with was rough, as if it had been polished by the rough sand of the desert, a bit hoarse.

"Asong, I have reconsidered.

"I blurred the boundary with Chen Ruyu, making you feel insecure, it was my mistake, I know I was wrong.

"I love you, and I don't think of you as they say online.

"You are not a burden to me.

"Can we reconcile?"

Not far away, camels carried tourists wandering in the yellow sand desert, the bells around their necks jingling in the wind.

The wind made our robes rustle.

I curled the corner of my mouth, looking at him without saying a word.

In the vast desert, we just stood there in silence.

His eyes gradually became desolate in my silence.

After more than ten years of feelings, I couldn't bear to see him like this.

"Just consider that we lacked a bit of fate."

Although the words were said like this, we both knew that what we lacked was not just fate, but the love that was gradually worn away during the time we walked hand in hand.

He said he loved me, whether it was love or habit, I guess even he couldn't distinguish it.

There's a saying, isn't there.

Onlookers see more than the players involved.

Today, I don't want to curse him with malicious words.

I just hope that the one who changed their mind first will continue with their brilliant life, and the one who let go first will live a happier life.

For the last time before Su Yanchi left, with red eyes, he asked me if I had anything to say.

I thought for a moment, then apologized to him.

"I'm sorry for pressuring you in front of all your company colleagues on your birthday to marry me.

"I might have felt a bit resentful at the time, probably all these years of time and emotions made me unable to make up my mind to give up.

"It was the sunk cost that trapped me, and also made you uncomfortable.

"So I want to apologize to you, and wish you a bright future, always loved, always with flowers and applause."
