Brother Sun comes from a poor background; he hesitated over a down jacket worth 150 yuan for three days. Many years have passed, but he still remembers clearly that he knows the importance of money.
But in front of the moonlight girl, he no longer cared about money.
Requesting 30 million as betrothal gifts, transferred.
Want to buy a house, let the assistant choose a mansion on the hillside.
Want a private jet, arranged.
Want an entire floor of a hotel, booked.
At that time, Brother Sun thought everything was real, but he would still remember all the details that made him uncomfortable. He remembers:
The hour interrupted before passion
How serious those two girls with tape were
The huge amount of fuel that was wasted
The luxurious empty house that was rented for a month
He even remembers the child holding popcorn high at the cinema entrance.
These details also made a future Brother Sun think more clearly about what he gained and what he lost.
But at that time, he just wanted to respect the girl's lifestyle, so he allowed himself to be tolerant and understanding—these things would later turn into a backlash, stabbing that girl.
## First, the girl is not stupid
The girl came to Hong Kong.
Met Brother Sun's parents, then opened her mouth to ask for money again, saying it took money to handle the wedding arrangements. Although there was a limit on the card, "Mom" still asked him to switch cards to transfer, Brother Sun hesitated for the first time, he began to feel something was off, after all, he had already transferred 30 million, shouldn't the preparations for the wedding not require such urgency for the same day transfer?
But under the urging, he used 3 accounts and 5 cards to fulfill "Mom's" command.
The doubts in his heart sprouted like weeds, growing wildly with the wind. But he still didn't dare to believe, throwing out a test: How about we bring our parents to Hong Kong for the New Year?
Brother Sun truly regarded "Mom's" parents as "Mom's" parents, which is why he transferred the money so readily, but Brother Sun's test got the answer he least wanted to hear; the girl said they had already booked to celebrate the New Year in Hainan, maybe next year—Brother Sun, who was accustomed to the business world, knew that waving goodbye often meant never seeing each other again.
But Brother Sun couldn't understand.
During the Spring Festival, Victoria Harbour was like a million people had arrived; Brother Sun stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, watching the tide of people come and go, thinking about how she came and went.
He couldn't understand, he was sincere, he was serious, he had gone to earn money again and again, but this Spring Festival Brother Sun did not see the person he wanted to see.
At three in the morning on an empty street, at a deserted red light intersection, he parked and waited, feeling completely powerless.
He was still afraid, afraid that the person he was waiting for would not come, also afraid that he had misunderstood something.
Sure enough, she said let’s not meet for now, she still had things to handle, while asking a question she shouldn't have asked: Can you come to Beijing?
This question made Brother Sun feel a bone-chilling cold.
Either she didn't care at all about this person whose photo had been saved for 19 years, completely unaware of him, after all, everyone in the country knew Brother Sun couldn't come back;
Or she knew but had other thoughts—did someone in Beijing wait for Brother Sun?
The doubts grew higher like weeds.
For Brother Sun, perhaps the best answer might be simply that the girl was foolish, hence asked an inappropriate question.
But the girl is not foolish.
## Second, 50 million, in dollars
The girl came to Hong Kong, but not to see Brother Sun; she wanted to “first see the houses in Hong Kong.” The hillside house, which could see Victoria Harbour, but she didn’t like it—indeed, choosing a house takes more time and requires on-site viewing, but unfortunately, it seemed the girl didn't want to stay in Hong Kong for long.
The egg retrieval time had already been set, but the girl still flew to Los Angeles.
On the eighth day, the phone rang, a call at dawn, and Brother Sun heard the sound of waves in the afternoon from the other side in the quiet night.
The girl's words were concise and decisive: fifty million, in dollars.
This time, she didn't want RMB, she wanted dollars, at the most significant juncture of the agreement—she seemed to no longer want the wedding house, nor did she seem to care, as if negotiating a big deal, constantly raising the price, maintaining a lofty demeanor; at that moment she was both a mother and a master.
She was once the master of that athlete, who didn’t call her mother, but called her master.
The girl probably got used to being in control, controlling hearts and controlling destinies.
Brother Sun was caught off guard; the original suspicion and grievance began to turn into anger, but anger would lower others' IQ. For Brother Sun, who was immersed in a beautiful illusion, not only was there no decrease in IQ, but he suddenly felt he was awake from the dream.
So, he just said: Let me think.
The girl did not want this answer, and Brother Sun, holding the phone, did not receive the further explanations he might have wanted to hear.
The girl simply said: Okay.
The call ended.
## Third, only win or lose
On the other side of the phone, the night was very dark; Brother Sun fell into loneliness again, even with a bit of fear, he knew what he was about to lose.
Brother Sun started to analyze his heart with AI, in fact, AI might not necessarily understand Brother Sun's complexity, but AI was not troubled, because it has one major difference from Brother Sun: it would never fear losing the girl.
Brother Sun was afraid to know if she no longer loved him, even more afraid to know if she had never loved him?—but that really made one feel a tremendous shame:
Why?
Why have I been so successful, and you seem not to see it?
Why am I so good to you, yet you don't care?
You just treat me like a simpleton, thinking of withdrawing money, but never caring about how I feel?
Later, Brother Sun said: That’s too ironic.
Brother Sun spent the whole night awake, with nothing to say, and no one to talk to.
He just stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window watching the sky brighten and darken, the lights turning on and off.
He remembered the cleaner of the luxurious suite, remembered the girls with the tape, remembered the child at the cinema entrance, and recalled every bit of wasted money.
These details stemmed from real pain but also began to transform into carefully selected testimony—he reminisced about love in front of the window while arranging a jury for himself.
Brother Sun had no tears, a grandmaster who studied hard can lose, but cannot be defeated; a plan began to brew and take shape.
In this plan, he must bid farewell to the past weak and foolish self, and also sever ties with the greedy and cold illusion of the past.
Some say Brother Sun will never have love again in the future, but after the open letter is sent out, love will no longer be something Brother Sun seeks.
In Brother Sun's thoughts, there is only win or lose, no letting go.
