The House of Those I Miss: Island Mists

First of all, the fact that I specifically registered a Jinjiang account to read and comment shows that I don't usually browse Jinjiang. I bought "The House of Missing People" and "Suddenly This Summer" as physical books from bookstores. I was young then, and as I grew up, I stopped going to bookstores to read these kinds of books. So, I only saw snippets of my later works on Weibo.

If a very long time has passed, it becomes difficult to distinguish whether it was the initial liking or the persistent pursuit that has become an obsession.

The plot hole about Qi Yi doesn't matter; I've already pretended he never existed in this timeline. After all, I never loved him back then, haha.

I jokingly say that to read this side story, you need to take a bath, change clothes, find a quiet late night, and read it carefully with a glass of wine in hand. Because this is truly a knot in my heart, a story that has accompanied me for many years. Countless sleepless nights have passed since I last entertained this thought experiment: "What if Jiang Hai were still alive?"

I borrowed "The House of Longing" from the school library when I was in high school. The ending was so heartbreaking. I kept wondering if there really was such a place, and if there were such a group of people missing them, and if their story would have a different ending.

I'm so conflicted! It's true what they say, once bitten, twice shy. Ah Hai really deserves a good beating, hmph. But their little daily lives are so cheesy, I could read ten chapters of them and not get tired of them. Ah Hai will probably introduce Manxin to his friends here, right? Will it be awkward meeting the guesthouse owner (I forgot his name) and his sister? Should he explain their past? The national park says, "Welcome to drive, no speed limit!"

It's been over ten years, and I'm so happy their story can continue.

Ah Hai will always be one of my biggest regrets, but now everything is settled! Lalalalala!

I see it every time I go to the beach.

Every time I go to an island, I rewatch the side stories. I like this ending. This ending didn't feel abrupt; it felt like an inevitable consequence of time.
