At three o'clock in the morning, my boyfriend replied with the word "busy".
Su He didn't ask any more questions.
She resigned and fled to the island.
Chen Yu, the owner of the B&B, was a venomous person. His fish was fried and burned, so he made a new bowl and pushed it over.
Later she discovered that he was sitting on the beach at three o'clock every morning and could not sleep.
Then she saw his name in an old magazine - about the elementary school collapse accident five years ago.
He wouldn't say nice things, but he would put a bowl of ginger milk on the table in the morning when she didn't speak.
Together they built a century-old watchtower and named it "Heshe".
Su He didn't know when her heart began to flutter - maybe when he held her hand by the fire, maybe when he said "stay".
This is a story about "let's talk later": some things to say now, some people to meet now.
