Do You Think I’m Crazy?

Zhou Mo secretly glared at him, “Me too!”

He didn’t have any experience, and so did she.

Zhou Mo was impatient. “What do we do now?”

“It’s said that we have to wait for thirty days. So we’ll come back after thirty days,” Han Chen replied.

Zhou Mo sighed. “I guess we have no choice.”

“But...”

“What is it?” Zhou Mo suddenly felt uneasy and looked up at Han Chen warily. “Don’t tell me you’re going on a business trip or don’t have time. The cooling-off period for divorce is after thirty days, not on the thirtieth day.”

Han Chen frowned. “That’s not what I meant...”

“Then what is it?”

“In this quarter, I’ve already taken a day off. If I take more time off, I won’t qualify for the quarterly bonus.”

Zhou Mo also felt a bit guilty and felt sorry for Han Chen. Marriage was not a trivial matter, yet they had married and couldn’t divorce immediately. It was too troublesome. The troubles were small, but the issue of money was significant.

Sensing Zhou Mo’s disappointment, Han Chen said, “It’s not your fault. I proposed the marriage.”

His words made Zhou Mo even more upset. “Marriage is not just your decision; it’s about both of us. I agreed to the marriage, so I also have a responsibility.”

Zhou Mo, who was not one to regret, unexpectedly regretted hastily agreeing to the marriage at that moment.

Han Chen corrected her, “I threatened you.”

“I agreed with it before you threatened me...” Zhou Mo’s face instantly turned red, and she turned her head away. She hadn’t initially had any reservations about marrying Han Chen. Of course, if he hadn’t mixed her clothes together when doing laundry... things might have been different.

“Yeah, your cleanliness obsession hasn’t changed,” Han Chen suddenly took out his phone and tapped on it a few times. “I’ve recommended a doctor from the Department of Mental Health to you. Maybe you should go and check.”

Zhou Mo’s phone beeped with the sound of a WeChat message. After a moment, she realized what it was and exploded in anger.

“Han Chen! Do you think I’m crazy?”

“I don’t. It’s just a suggestion. You don’t have to obey,” Han Chen replied.

Zhou Mo felt a surge of anger in her chest and glared at Han Chen. “A suggestion? You even recommended the Department of Mental Health to me. Are you insinuating that I have a mental illness?”

The Department of Mental Health? It was just a fancy name for the Psychiatric Department. Who would have thought Han Chen would suddenly become serious? His dark gaze met Zhou Mo’s furious gaze.

“I sincerely meant it,” Han Chen’s expression turned cold, and he said each word deliberately. “After all, no one but someone with moral OCD would be so extreme as to condemn a person over a trivial matter.”

Zhou Mo was stunned.

After a brief pause, she tentatively asked, “Are you still concerned about the reason we broke up before?”

Han Chen suddenly seemed lost, his dark eyes trembled slightly, but then he averted his gaze and coldly said, “No.”

Han Chen was used to being unpredictable, but Zhou Mo didn’t notice anything unusual about him.

Hearing his “no,” Zhou Mo felt relieved.

“Don’t worry about what happened in the past. I just wanted to focus on studying for college entrance exams, so I made up a reason to break up with you.”

When she mentioned that time, Zhou Mo actually felt a bit guilty. Their relationship from the beginning had been a carefully planned deception on her part. The reasons were also quite ridiculous. It was because Han Chen transferred to her school, causing her ranking to drop from the top ten to eleventh place, falling out of the “honor list” for the grade. Although the difference between tenth and eleventh place wasn’t significant, the “honor list” only included the top ten names, so no one cared about the eleventh place.

At that time, Zhou Mo was arrogant and had a childish mindset. Didn’t everyone say that being in a relationship would affect studying?

So... Zhou Mo came up with a trick...

Her idea was simple: date first, then break up. By affecting Han Chen’s studies through their relationship, she sought revenge.

What Zhou Mo didn’t expect was that her scheme had been quite effective.

In the end, Han Chen didn’t go to the prestigious university he had dreamed of to study aerospace engineering but instead went to the Capital University to study medicine. The score difference between the two majors was significant.

Although she had done some tricks, she couldn’t deny that their relationship during that time contained the most primitive and pure feelings of her adolescence.

It is said that puppy love is unforgettable... and it’s reasonable.

After all, during that time, emotions didn’t contain any ulterior motives or material attachments. Since becoming adults, those feelings were no longer present.

Even if she were to meet the same person from back then, Zhou Mo couldn’t feel the same pure excitement as before.

When considering whether to accept Han Chen’s proposal to marry, Zhou Mo’s mind drew a radar chart, the most mundane and realistic one, to evaluate Han Chen’s suitability.

Love had transformed from a cheap commodity of adolescence into a luxury item in the adult world.

She raised her eyes and stole a glance at Han Chen, only to find that he still had a serious expression. Zhou Mo’s voice was like a mosquito, “If you feel uncomfortable, I can apologize.”

“No need,” Han Chen said in a deep voice. “We broke up, and I didn’t see you doing well in the college entrance exams.”

Zhou Mo’s anger instantly reignited. She couldn’t accept it and argued, “Dongjiang University is also good, you know?”

Han Chen was not polite either. “Different majors.”

Zhou Mo suddenly had nothing more to say. She didn’t perform well in the college entrance exams and didn’t get into the Clinical Medicine major at Dongjiang University. Instead, she ended up in the Preventive Medicine major and eventually pursued a Ph.D.

“Let’s go, let’s talk about it when we get back,” Han Chen urged coldly.

Zhou Mo glared fiercely at his back in frustration and got into the car with him.

She fastened her seatbelt and casually asked, “How much is your quarterly bonus?”

If it wasn’t much, she could compensate him.

Han Chen started the car and nonchalantly replied, “Fifty thousand.”

Zhou Mo was suddenly taken aback. “Fifty thousand?”

“What? Is it not enough?”

“Fifty thousand for one quarter, which is two hundred thousand per year. Is that not enough? I can’t make that much even if I do cross-border e-commerce for a year.”

Zhou Mo felt a bit jealous. They were both studying medicine, so why was there such a big difference?

Feeling restless, Zhou Mo said, “I can’t afford to compensate you with fifty thousand. Let’s get divorced... wait until your next quarter, when you have extra leave.”

“Okay,” Han Chen responded lightly, his emotions impossible to discern.

After a moment, Han Chen asked, “Where are you going?”

“My parents’ place.”

As the car approached the entrance of the residential area, Zhou Mo suddenly realized something and hurriedly asked Han Chen to stop by the roadside.

The car came to a stop at a street not far from the residential area. Han Chen seemed to smile ambiguously and asked in a cold voice, “Are you afraid of being seen by your parents?”

Zhou Mo’s face turned red, and she looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar handsome face in front of her, which always stirred up some thoughts in her mind.

They used to do the same thing when they went home after school. They would stop at this intersection, maintain a distance, and walk home one after the other.

Zhou Mo didn’t answer Han Chen’s question but changed the topic and asked, “I heard that your mother is moving here, and you...?”

“She’s moving here alone. I won’t come because it’s quite far from Dongjiang University Hospital.”

“That’s true. This area is an old city district, and it’s inconvenient even for me to go to school here.”

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have rented an apartment outside.
