Nostalgia.

The river flowed gently, occasionally splashing up a small wave.

Chen Liang and Gina sat by the campfire, eating roasted meat.

This grilled meat is a huge skewer...

It's huge, almost one skewer is enough to fill you up...

The two ate and drank milk wine...

"How much can you drink?" Chen Liang asked.

"One bag".

"And you?" Gina asked again.

"How would I know?"

Gina smiled...

"I'll get you drunk tonight."

"Um."

Chen Liang was willing to get drunk.

He was also willing to let Gina get drunk...

Because I was drunk, the grassland was wonderful...

The grass is nice...

Very soft...

Very soft...

A crescent moon reflects on the long river, a bonfire burns on the grassland...

That winding river, I don't know where it comes from or where it goes.

Just like life, we know when it begins, but we don't know where it ends.

The aroma of barbecue wafted across the fields...

Gina's fragrance lingered around Chen Liang.

Gina sat down next to Chen Liang, on the grass, on the thick grass.

The grassland was vast, and it seemed as if the night had fallen low...

The stars seemed within reach.

Only the crescent moon seemed to make one feel that the sky was still a bit higher...

……

Chen Liang and Gina drank the two sachets of milk wine.

Chen Liang was drunk.

Gina was also drunk.

Gina got drunk and collapsed onto Chen Liang.

Chen Liang held her in his arms and looked down at her.

As I looked at her, I kissed her lips...

While being kissed, Gina collapsed...

……

She was like a wild horse...

A wild horse in a frenzy...

A wild horse running wildly...

A wild horse galloping at breakneck speed...

The moon is like a hook, the grass is like a carpet, and the sky is like a canopy...

She was hysterical...

She faced the sky, she faced the grasslands, she faced the great river, and shouted...

It seemed to be a cry out about the hardships of her life...

Yet it also reveals her indomitable spirit...

……

She is tired.

She lay down.

She looked at Chen Liang, and Chen Liang looked at her.

Chen Liang gently and slowly stroked her...

He knew that Gina was suffering, she had been suffering for a long time, she was suffering before, and now... she was suffering too...

……

The shadows on the grassland began to sway...

The great river began to sway...

The crescent moon began to sway...

Extreme, rapid shaking...

……

……

The campfire gradually died down.

Chen Liang and Gina have come countless times.

Night fell silent, very silent.

Only the slowly flowing river murmured softly...

And there was the horse, lying there, its head bowed, making the sound of it pulling at the grass.

And nearby, Chen Liang's panting, and Gina's panting.

The two lay on the grassland, facing the sky...

"This place is really nice," Chen Liang said.

"Don't go," Gina said.

Chen Liang smiled.

He said nothing more.

No words are needed at this moment.

The two only answered each other one-on-one.

This one-on-one response is limited to one-on-one responses only.

Because Gina knew that Chen Liang was going to leave; he didn't belong here.

He has a family.

His family members are waiting for him to take care of them.

She could never go to faraway places again.

Her parents wouldn't let her go, and she herself didn't want to go either.

The local customs are truly different.

Sometimes, they are really difficult to get along with.

different styles.

……

The full moon sets in the west.

Chen Liang and Gina mounted the horse.

The campfire has gone out.

"Giddy up..." Gina spurred her horse.

Galloping horses...

Gina was jostled around, and so was Chen Liang...

Gina turned around and hugged Chen Liang tightly, pressing her body close to his...

Amidst the jolting, the two ran towards home...

During the journey, Gina sang a song.

The singing was bold and resounding...

Yet it carries a sense of melancholy...

This vast grassland, while offering a broad perspective, also evokes a sense of desolation and helplessness...

That's how Chen Liang felt.

Gina might not be.

Her sorrow stemmed from the pressure she felt and the anger of her divorce...

And the heartache of leaving a child...

Chen Liang could hear the meaning hidden in her singing...

He loves her...

Gina sang...

Singing intermittently...

The horse jolted them along again, bringing them joy...

Four hooves flying, two people dancing wildly...

Yet, in this deep love, they also experience the ultimate joy in life...

……

Her singing voice is captivating, mesmerizing, yet also heartbreaking...

Joyful yet painful...

Amidst the gentle yet resonant tone, there was also regret, anger, and profound remorse for the past…

A cry to the present, and an indomitable spirit for the future...

Chen Liang knew that Gina was indomitable; her personality and her life circumstances determined her indomitable spirit towards life...

Even if mountains crumble and seas split, even if the sky collapses and the earth caves in.

She too would leap up, jump, tear a hole in the sky, and crawl out!

Chen Liang had a premonition, and hoped, that she would be happy in the future.

You will definitely be happy.

Because the grasslands are wild, unrestrained, and exuberant...

How could a free-spirited person not be happy?

How could they not be happy?

The local character dictates that the people here will surely be happy.

She wasn't some bookworm like a fake woman, so full of grievances and bearing such humiliation.

To endure humiliation and hardship is to waste one's life, which is only meant to be lived once.

……

The two, drunk, continued on horseback the whole way, indulging in their madness and enduring a bumpy ride.

I loved you all the way...

Gina went crazy, and Chen Liang went crazy too...

Because these crazy days are rare.

Only here.

And that's limited to this area only.

Her swaying body, bathed in moonlight on the grassland, made Chen Liang truly understand the beauty of the grassland...

It is vast, and one can run wild.

It can radiate the ultimate brilliance of humanity...

And not bound by any rules.

Thoroughly, completely...

In his frenzy, he entered the village and then his home.

Gina put the horse in the stable.

Chen Liang and Gina entered the west room.

Gina went mad again...

She screamed out her madness...

……

The next day, around noon, Gina went out.

Why is it close to noon?

Because the two of them got up very late.

When the two of them got up, it was already past 10 a.m.

Chen Liang continues writing books...

Gina's parents never returned.

Chen Liang asked.

Gina said, "They went to the city to visit my aunt."

"Oh." Chen Liang didn't ask any more questions.

Perhaps the two elders were leaving space for Chen Liang and Gina.

Or perhaps, it's about going to the city to find a future for Gina.

Perhaps, just perhaps.

Chen Liang felt that Gina didn't seem to be suited for the city.

She is only suited for this grassland...

……

In the afternoon, Gina took Chen Liang to herd sheep.

It turns out that Gina's sheep were kept at a sheep farm outside the village.

Someone is watching.

There were sheepdogs watching over it.

Sometimes, Gina's father would also go and watch over her.

Chen Liang saw Gina's younger brother.

He rode on horseback, herding sheep with a carefree and arrogant air...

He is very free...

He was very happy...

Who says life is bitter and therefore unhappy?

Who says that only the city is the pinnacle of life?

Pooh!

That's false advertising.

That's a lie.

That's for business!

Damn it!

It has drained the resources from so many families...

How many people have been harmed...

……

Are Gina and the others suffering?

Chen Liang didn't find it bitter.

Moreover, it seems like a very real life...

……

Chen Liang rode his horse and galloped for a while with Gina's younger brother.

He can't outride him.

Although Gina taught Chen Liang how to ride a horse, Chen Liang was still not proficient.

……

Night fell, and all was quiet once more.

Gina and Chen Liang were inside the house, in the yard, and by the stable...

hapiness……

Boundless joy...
