The 99th Divorce

A sense of happiness came pouring out from the bottom of Yu Lili’s heart and seeped into her bones and whole being. She laughed out loud and gently licked her dry lower lip as she walked over to Ou Ming.

Ou Ming remained where he was. When she reached him, he opened his arms and asked, “Do you remember when we first met?”

“Seven or eight years ago?” Yu Lili replied.

“The date?” Ou Ming asked.

Yu Lili thought for a while and shook her head. She asked, “Do you remember?”

Ou Ming gave it a thought and replied, “I don’t know either. I thought you would remember it.”

Yu Lili turned and glared at him in annoyance when she heard that. “You don’t even remember it yourself, yet you had to ask me?”

“Well, I know it wasn’t today. Come, let’s go,” Ou Ming said.

“Where to?” she asked.

“The Holographic Room,” Ou Ming held Yu Lili by her hand and pulled her along. His steps were neither fast nor slow. He held the remote control up and double-clicked it. “Let’s go up the mountain to play.”

“What mountain are you talking about? You mean you can change the settings?” Yu Lili asked in surprise. Seeing the playful expression on his face, her heart melted.

“Of course,” Ou Ming said. “Did you think we were going to only play in the sea forever?”

“Why didn’t you show it to the children just now?” Yu Lili asked. “They would have been delighted.”

“I had to let my wife experience it first. I actually wanted to wait until tonight to surprise you with it, but I didn’t expect the little girl to be so observant. She caught it in one glance.” Ou Ming opened the door and pulled her in behind him.

Once they entered, the entire place was awash with bright light. They were surrounded by the scenery of a mountaintop in the day. Even the air smelled fresh.

Yu Lili was in awe. She took a step in and found herself stepping on a piece of rock.

From behind, Ou Ming watched her back and mischievously pressed the remote control.

The rock beneath her feet began to shake. Yu Lili lost her balance, almost falling flat on her face. With a yelp, she instinctively reached out to grab Ou Ming by his arm.

Ou Ming held on to her tightly and pulled her into his embrace. Gazing into her face that was white with shock, his face broke out in a wicked smile. His bright and playful eyes carried a hint of humor as he lowered his lips to her ear and asked in a murmur, “Is this fun?”

Yu Lili was in shock. She hadn’t expected the room to have such a function. Her mood suddenly soured. She smacked Ou Ming and demanded, “Why didn’t you say a thing? I got such a shock!”

“How would I be able to shock you if I had said something?” Ou Ming grinned. “Look, there’s someone over there!”

Yu Lili’s eyes followed in the direction that his finger was pointing. She noticed a man and woman, not too far off, kissing in an embrace.

The figure of the man looked very familiar. He was tall, almost 6-foot-2, and dressed in a burgundy loose-fitting tracksuit. It was very much like Ou Ming’s style.

In front of that man was a small and petite woman being pinned to a boulder. Her hands were on the man’s waist, and her face was tilted up to welcome the kisses of the man.

Yu Lili took a closer look and experienced a moment of horror. At the same time, a sense of embarrassment overtook her. The woman’s face was exactly like hers!

And, that man… isn’t he Ou Ming?

“What is going on? When did I participate in such a film?” Yu Lili was embarrassed and exasperated. “What a pervert!”

“It’s a computer-generated image. Don’t you find it interesting? It was custom-programmed.” Ou Ming leaned over. “I like it very much. This creative project took me a long time to complete. But, I finally managed to complete it in time to make it a wedding present! You don’t like it?”
