"Thankfully, today there's something to be happy about. I found a place to stay. The landlords are a Chinese couple who are very nice, and they gave me a good deal on the rent. I did tell them a little lie, though, because I told them I was looking for my lover. I'm pretty bad, right? I let go of your hand first, and now I'm shamelessly claiming you as my lover. But Gu Ningyi... if I had known that letting go would lead to this, I would never have let go of your hand."
"It's been a month. I've walked through every street and alley. Los Angeles is always so lively, always so crowded, yet none of those people are you. Gu Ningyi, where have you gone? I know you're mad at me, and that's why you don't want to show up. You have every right to be angry with me. I never fulfilled the promises I made to you. But if that's the case, please show up quickly, even if you want to hit me or scold me—just please don't disappear."
