Chapter 10
When I got home, I took out the printed Divorce Agreement and placed it on the nightstand. Then, carrying the suitcase I had packed long ago, I closed the door and left.
While sitting on the plane to the UK, I received a text message and some photos from Song Jiaojiao.
In the photos, Lin Yuezhou and she were lying together, their bare shoulders exposed.
[You lost.]
[He fell asleep next to me. He won’t be coming back tonight.]
[You should hurry up and divorce him. You can’t win against me.]
She triumphantly declared her victory to me.
I smiled. She did win.
But I didn’t lose, either.
I saved the photos to my phone and sent them to Lin Yuezhou:
[Sign the Divorce Agreement.]
Then I blocked all his contact information, one by one.
When Lin Yuezhou woke up, he saw Song Jiaojiao lying beside him.
He stared in shock and quickly got up.
He couldn’t remember how he ended up sleeping with Song Jiaojiao.
He clearly remembered that after dropping her off at home, he was ready to leave.
But last night, Song Jiaojiao suddenly hugged him from behind, her voice trembling with tears: “Ah Zhou, can you stay with me a little longer? I’m still so scared.”
“I know you want to go back to Li Li, just have one more drink with me. After tonight, I won’t bother you again.”
In Lin Yuezhou’s mind, a little voice was screaming at him to refuse.
He had promised Xiao Li that he would go back and have dinner with her.
He had already forgotten their seventh anniversary last time.
This time, he couldn’t break his promise again.
But Song Jiaojiao’s hands were shaking as she clung to him, crying so pitifully.
He sighed, turned around, and gently patted her back:
“I’ll stay with you a little longer, but I really have to go. Li Li is still waiting for me.”
He told himself this would be the last time he indulged her.
After this, he would devote himself to Xiao Li.
But after drinking, he couldn’t remember what happened next.
When he woke up, he was in Song Jiaojiao’s bed.
A strange sense of panic surged in his heart.
He remembered the look in Li Li’s eyes when he left last night-no grievance, no anger.
She just calmly waved goodbye, as if finally letting go, never to meet again.
As this thought flashed by, it was as if a swarm of mosquitoes buzzed in his mind, their harsh noise gnawing at his heart.
Lin Yuezhou hurriedly put on his clothes and stumbled out, rushing home to find Li Li.
Countless red lights on the way seemed to stretch the distance between him and Li Li further and further.
He grew more and more anxious and uneasy.
It’s fine.
It’s fine…
Li Li had liked him since they were young. In this life, the only person Li Li loved was him.
She wouldn’t stay mad at him for long.
At worst, this time, he’d just coax her a little more.
