The 99th Divorce

“Ye Qianqian?” Shen Zhilie called out when he didn’t hear her reply.

Ye Qianqian was sitting on the floor. Her body was drenched from head to toe.

Her ankle was throbbing with pain. It felt as if any movement would be enough to snap it into two.

Ye Qianqian slowly inched her way over to the toilet and lowered the cover onto the seat before using it as a crutch to stand up.

Shen Zhilie could hear the commotion insider and yelled out again, “Ye Qianqian, what are you doing inside?”

When Ye Qianqian heard Shen Zhilie’s voice, her aggrieved emotions came pouring forth again. She yelled back in reply, “I already told you that my ankle hurts! What are you making a ruckus about?”

Shen Zhilie didn’t have a reply for that. After a moment’s thought, he reached out to press the door handle.

Ye Qianqian heard it. Her eyes immediately widened in panic. “What are you doing?” she protested. “Are you trying to sneak a peek?”

“What the hell? There’s nothing to see on that flat body of yours! I’m worried that you might die in there!”

Shen Zhilie rattled the door handle forcefully and realized that it had been locked from the inside.

Ye Qianqian heard him and furiously replied, “You’re the one who’s about to die!”

“Hey, I’m about to open the door, alright? It’s so dark, so I won’t be able to see anything anyway. Besides… I’m not interested in you at all.”

“F*ck you!” Ye Qianqian was incensed. She held on to the toilet with all the strength she could muster and heaved herself up.

Shen Zhilie had kicked the door open by then.

The loud and explosive sound caught her completely by surprise.

Ye Qianqian jumped out of her skin. Cold sweat appeared on her brow. Her body shivered, and her eyes widened as she looked ahead.

She caught a hazy glimpse of a dark shadow walking toward her. She curled herself into the corner as she asked in warning, “What… What are you intending to do?”

Shen Zhilie laughed in exasperation and replied, “What can I do to something as substandard as you? Come on, I’m here to get you out.”

With that, he crouched down beside her.

“Hey… Don’t look over!” Ye Qianqian reached her hand out to look for his eyes. “I’ll gouge your eyes out otherwise!”

Shen Zhilie could see pretty well in the dark. The moment he crouched down, his body blocked the only ray of light that weakly streamed in. He couldn’t see anything any longer.

Upon hearing her threat, Shen Zhilie burst out laughing and said, “I won’t look! But given how flat your chest is, seeing it won’t have any effect on me either!”

As he spoke, Ye Qianqian reached her dripping wet hands out to cover Shen Zhilie’s eyes.

Shen Zhilie groped about in the dark, making a move to carry her.

As he stretched his hand out, his fingernail came in contact with soft and warm flesh.

Caught completely unaware, his heart skipped a beat.

Shen Zhilie quickly snatched his hand back. His face began to go hot.

Ye Qianqian sensed his tiny action and realized that his breathing had become heavy. With her other hand covering her body, she yelled, “Why did you touch my stomach? Hurry! The floor is very cold!”

Ah, so that was her stomach…

Shen Zhilie heaved a sigh of relief At the same time, a sense of disappointment came over him.

He reached his hand out again. He could feel it keenly as he threaded his hand under her arm. It was soft.

Ye Qianqian suddenly yelped, but Shen Zhilie assumed that she was just reacting out of nervousness and ignored her. With a sudden surge of strength, he picked her up.

Ye Qianqian hollered in fury, “You lecher!” As she spoke, she swung her hand across his face in a slap.

The blow that landed on Shen Zhilie’s face wasn’t heavy, but it was enough to stun him.

Instinctively, his hand moved lower to the soft and round object, only to realize that it had become hard.

Ye Qianqian’s reaction was extreme. She began to struggle in his arms. She bellowed, “D*mn lecher! D*mn pervert! Get lost!”
