Chapter 65

  Huang Ying smiled and said: "You're being blinded by your own arrogance. I won't discuss this with you, he's my man, you should leave."

  Zuǒ Xiǎo Lóng stands up and says: Thank you. Let's go apologize to your parents with me.

  Huang Ying picked up the water cup and said: No need to apologize, it's my place, not my parents', you should be apologizing to me instead. I've always thought of you as a silly little brother. Didn't expect...you're even more...more...

  Huang Ying was momentarily at a loss for words, and Zhou Xiaolong turned his head and asked: What's more?

  Huang Ying said: Even more foolish.

  Zuo Xiaolong walked out of the door to under the eaves, Huang Ying stopped him. Huang Ying leaned against the door, in the streetlight there was only a silhouette. He said to Zuo Xiaolong: You shouldn't stay here, you should go towards a wider world, as wide as the world you see is how big your heart will be. You're a good person, but now your heart is too small.

  Bruce Lee asked: Are you saying this just for me?

  She smiled and said: I'm talking about all men.

  Zuo Xiaolong took out the motorcycle key and said, "Thank you." He turned around and walked into the rain, the feeling like Huang Ying's hair brushing against his face a few minutes ago. The rainwater had accumulated, and every step he took splashed water. The street was empty, as if it had been cleared for this inexplicable moment between the two of them. Zuo Xiaolong knew that Huang Ying was still watching him from behind. He always felt like there was something left unsaid, or that they would only meet again when he returned home in glory. Zuo Xiaolong stopped walking forward and turned around to face Huang Ying, about to speak.

  Huang Ying said: I don't have an umbrella.

  Bruce Lee said: No. I want to tell you. I will be back. And if it happens again today, I would still do the same as before, and I won't regret it.

  Huang Ying burst out laughing and said: You go back. My body is now reserved for Mr. Lu. If you are so sure, I want to tell you ten thousand times. You won't succeed.

  Zuǒ Xiǎo Lóng said: Why are you more certain than me?

  Huang Ying said: Because I'm on my period.

  A bolt of lightning struck the ground at the end of the line of sight.

  Zuo Xiaolong returned to the sculpture garden, where the weeds didn't seem to have any meaning of decline. But there were no new colors anymore. And large areas had been trampled by people, he fell asleep and completed a heart's desire. He had a good dream, and when he woke up it was already late afternoon on the second day, the autumn sunset shining on his Queen motorcycle. Zuo Xiaolong took out a cloth and wiped the motorcycle clean. He said to Da Shuai: I'm going to go out into the world now.

  Da Shuai is reading books in Xiao Long's house. One book was given by Niuba, "Che Guevara". Another book was bought by Xiao Long himself, "Karajan". Da Shuai said: Alright, are you going to Tianma Town?

  Bruce Lee said firmly: No, I want to ride a motorcycle and travel around China.

  Da Shuai folded a corner of "Kala Yan" and looked at Zuo Xiao Long with suspicion. After reading it over and over again, he said: Go.

  Zuo Xiaolong said: After I travel all over China, I will return to Tinglin Town. Then I'll go find Upper Mud Flat, then I haven't thought it through yet. Will I be the first person in Tinglin Town to ride a motorcycle and travel all over China?

  Dà shuài dào: Yes. But you are still the first person in Tíng Lín Town to ask me this question. It's meaningless.

  Zuǒ Xiǎo Lóng said disdainfully: Wait until I come back and you'll know if it's meaningful or not.

  General asked: When will you set off?

  Bruce Lee said: Anytime.
