"You've always been the best to me," Yiren looked up at Cheng Yuxuan and said. She could always feel relaxed when she was with him. He was the kind of person who would never hurt her.
"Brother Minze is also very good to you," Cheng Yuxuan still said, not minding the slight trace of blood seeping out from his arm.
"He's also very good to your cousin," Yiren said and took a sip of the coffee brought by the waiter. The bitterness spread all the way to her heart.
"That kind of kindness is different," Cheng Yuxuan held Yiren's cold hand and said.
"Is it?" Yiren looked up again. There was a very faint trace of sadness in her eyes, so faint that it was almost imperceptible. She wasn't used to being vulnerable, but this time she was truly and deeply hurt. "It's really different! They even have a child now."
Yiren could hear her heart bleeding, drop by drop, making a tinkling sound.
"They were set up," Cheng Yuxuan said. He knew that Yiren was struggling again. As proud as she was, she was heartbroken at the moment.
"I know! Because the person who set it up wants to take revenge on me," Yiren said as she stirred the coffee. No matter how much she stirred, she couldn't change the fact that the bitter coffee was bitter. "The coffee is so bitter," Yiren took another sip, frowning at the bitterness.
"Let me tell you a love story that made me cry when I was in college," Yiren said with a smile. Her smile was as beautiful as a phoenix flapping its wings as it flew into the fire.
[Husband: I'm sorry. I've finally mustered up the courage to tell you that I want a divorce.
I've always been a cowardly woman. I've tried my best to maintain our marriage. I cooked your favorite dishes for you, bought the CDs you liked, made everything perfect for you, and gave you all the happiness I could. And I've never made any demands on you because I was afraid you'd think I was annoying. But now I've realized that a long - term relationship can't compete with love at first sight that lasts only a few hours.
The first time I saw the photo of you and her was on a music website. The first time I saw her was at the entrance of the hotel where you left with her. The first time I heard you mention her was at our third wedding anniversary party... She's really a beautiful girl.
I secretly read the email you wrote to her. Every word in it was so sweet and touching. I cried as I read it. I lied to myself that you wrote it to me. You will always love me. How could you love someone else so deeply? Yeah! You didn't mention divorce, so how could I dare to say it? I'm afraid that if I did, I would really lose you forever.
Husband, I really love you and this family. So even though you didn't say anything, I didn't ask either. I just cried quietly after you fell asleep. Do you know that? I want to thank you for accompanying me for all these years. I know you love her very much, just as I love you. You haven't mentioned divorce, and I'm already very grateful. At least you still come home to be with me, eat the food I cook, and smile傻傻ly. At least you still remember to come home and give me a hug and remember my birthday! I think that's enough, really. I love you and tolerate her. I thought we could live together peacefully like this forever until you told me a story last night.
You said: I have a friend. He's been married for six years. He has a very good wife. He's always loved his wife, but four years ago, he met a beautiful girl. The girl was very nice to him and gave him the passion that his wife didn't have. So they fell in love, secretly but passionately. The girl was very sensible. She never mentioned marriage or anything like that during the time she was with him. He still loved his wife, but now his love was divided between two women. He wouldn't abandon his wife because his wife was too good to him. There was no reason to break up with her and no excuse to hurt her. But now the girl is pregnant. The girl has asked him to marry her. The girl has been with him for four years and has given him the most beautiful things a woman can offer. He can't refuse the girl, but he also can't abandon his loving wife.
The story ended there, and you asked me: What do you think he should do?
I didn't say anything. I know this is the story between you and her. This is your most helpless choice.
Last night, after you fell asleep, I sat beside you and looked at your handsome face. I watched you as you slept soundly. You looked so sweet. I kissed you and left hundreds of kisses on your body carefully. I knew this was the last time. Baby, my tears fell drop by drop on your chest and slowly spread. They fell drop by drop on my broken heart.
Baby. I'm leaving. I know that my leaving is the best ending. Take good care of yourself when I'm not with you. I've cleaned up the house. The rice is in the rice cooker. Remember to heat it up and eat it when you get back. This is the last meal I cook for you. Remember not to starve yourself because of work. It's bad for your health. And you have a stomach problem. Don't go drinking with your friends, and smoke less. I've subscribed to a year's worth of milk for you. They'll deliver it directly to the house. Remember to heat it before you drink it. I also bought the CD you wanted. It's on the computer desk. What else? Oh, right. I didn't take anything from this house except the first gift you gave me, that little knitted bear. I'm used to sleeping with it. It can accompany me in the future. Holding it, I'll feel like you're with me.
I'm leaving. My heart aches as I leave. I said goodbye to the house we've lived in for six years. I said goodbye to the home I've guarded for six years. I said to you, the one I've loved for so many years: Blessings!
Husband, you must love her well after I'm gone, okay? Don't hurt anyone in love anymore. Be very good to her, just like I was to you. Kiss your child for me. I think he'll be very beautiful. Tell her that I will bless her.
I still love you, but from today on, everything has nothing to do with you.]
"What should those three people do?" Yiren asked Cheng Yuxuan after finishing the story.
"I don't know," This kind of choice is painful. No matter what choice is made, someone will get hurt.
"This is the helplessness," Yiren said. "The helplessness lies in not knowing how to make a choice."
"You're different from the protagonists in the story! You can choose. You two are in love."
