After bidding Le Yao goodnight, I returned to my room. After washing up, I lay on the bed out of habit, smoking a cigarette and staring blankly at the ceiling, making myself feel lonely yet unwilling to contact anyone. I felt that loneliness was something I excelled at during this phase of my life, which seemed to be related to Mi Cai being far away in America. The time difference and our busy careers made communication between us incredibly difficult.@@novelbin@@

The day after tomorrow is my birthday, and I suddenly miss Mr. Ban and my mom terribly. I miss the birthday cakes they used to give me on time every year before I left Xuzhou, and their smiling faces...

Thinking about it made me smile, then I stubbed out the cigarette in the ashtray, sat up from the bed, turned on the computer, and prepared to incorporate the newly taken over "Destined Inn" into the "Perfect Travel" plan.

Time unknowingly reached two o'clock in the deep of the night, and I finally completed the new plan. I sent it along with the photos of today's event to the marketing department of "Easy Travel Network" via email.

A problem that had troubled me for a long time was thus resolved, and the nerves that had been tense all this while suddenly relaxed. Then, a wave of exhaustion overwhelmed me. After washing my face, I lay motionless on the bed, waiting to drift off to sleep.

But despite being very tired, I couldn't fall asleep. I lit another cigarette and, looking at the ceiling, boredly pondered why I couldn't sleep alone in the deep of the night.

Unable to find an answer, I finally picked up my phone again, opened QQ, then WeChat, wanting to post a moment to make my presence felt. But after a long thought, I didn't know what to post, and in my disappointment, I realized I had been out of the loop with my friends for a long time.

Staring at the phone screen, Mi Cai's contact icon was right in front of me, but I always refrained from contacting her when I needed her most. Perhaps I'm someone who pursues perfection, always hoping that when I miss her, she would turn into a spring breeze and pass by me.

But reality is always so stark. When I need her, she doesn't turn into that spring breeze. Instead, she often leaves me with a busy silhouette, placing us in two different storylines. So, she has Wei Ran by her side, and I have Le Yao, but this doesn't change the fact that we are boyfriend and girlfriend. Maybe this complex situation is just an elusive prime of life!
