The 99th Divorce

Jiao Ziqing’s temperament was a little unstable, and Ou Ming’s father was worried too.

After some consideration, he nodded and said, “We’ll leave it to you then. I’ll take her home first and come back again later.”

“That’s not necessary. Just take good care of her. I’ll keep Xiao Ou company here.” Wen Fenglin walked up and gave Ou Ming’s father a pat on his shoulder and spoke further, “Have you forgotten? I’ve been there and done that.”

Ou Ming’s father nodded his head at that statement. “OK.”

Jiao Ziqing and her husband walked out together, and the sound of their footsteps gradually softened in the distance.

Yu Lili hid behind the corner of the corridor until she saw that they had left. Then she came out and walked towards Ou Ming’s room.

Inside the room, Ou Ming heard the sounds of his parents’ footsteps slowly disappearing before asking casually, “Uncle Ou, are you very close to my parents?”

Wen Fenglin laughed when he heard that, and replied, “I grew up together with your mom. When your mother wanted to woo your father in her younger days, I was the one who came up with ideas for her!”

Ou Ming never knew that. It was his mother who had first wooed his father? It was certainly uncommon for the youth in those days to be that liberal. But Ou Ming had no intention of digging further. He lay on the bed and closed his eyes.

Wen Fenglin caught a glimpse of a shadow at the door. When he turned and saw that it was Yu Lili, he smiled and waved at her to come in.

Yu Lili closed the door to the room and tiptoed inside.

Wen Fenglin walked to the water dispenser and asked as he bent down to get some water, “Why do you not want your girlfriend to find out? Don’t you like her very much? Don’t you want her to come and visit you?”

Ou Ming’s eyes remained closed, but hearing Wen Fenglin’s words affected him a little.

Didn’t he want that? Of course, he did! He missed her much.

But he couldn’t.

Ou Ming didn’t reply, so he asked again, “Doesn’t liking a person mean that you want to spend every moment with her?” He passed the cup of hot water to Yu Lili while his eyes remained on Ou Ming.

Ou Ming’s eyes stayed closed the whole time. His world was now pitch black.

He had never imagined that the world of a blind person could be this dark.

Darkness with nothing else. Just pitch black.

All that he could see in his mind was that picturesque smile.

“I’m with you only because you’re good-looking. If you no longer have your hands or legs, you won’t be good-looking anymore. If that day comes, I’ll leave you and won’t be with you any longer.”

Ou Ming was silent for a moment before replying, “You don’t understand.”

Wen Fenglin gave Yu Lili a glance when he heard that.

In Yu Lili’s hand was half a cup of water that remained. She looked at Ou Ming before her. Her eyes and face were red.

Ou Ming continued, “What if she doesn’t want me anymore when she sees the state that I’m in?”

His voice was low and carried a hint of self-doubt. It was subtle and hard to detect, but nevertheless still there. It was heartbreaking.

This statement was a big blow to Yu Lili’s heart, and she felt as if her world had just shattered.

Unable to restrain herself any further, she dropped her cup of water on the floor and ran over to him, crying out, “How could I ever not want you?”

Ou Ming’s body stiffened upon hearing Yu Lili’s voice, and he was frozen to the spot.

All he could see was darkness, but the voice was clearly and tangibly in front of him.

It was her…

His Little Carp was here.
