"Young boss Yang, does the half-year annual leave you promised me before still count?"
I stared blankly at the post on the computer and had already called my supervisor.
The supervisor, upon hearing my words, immediately replied with certainty.
"Of course it counts. What kind of leave are you planning, and what will you do?"
As I scrolled the mouse, I spoke about my plans.
"I plan to see the aurora abroad during this time, to take a good break."
The supervisor was clearly a bit surprised, and even their tone changed.
"Isn't your wedding a week away? What's going on?"
I knew why young boss Yang was so surprised.
Back then, Chen Dong and I agreed just to have a wedding, and there was no need for a honeymoon after marriage.
He suggested saving the honeymoon money for buying a house and car and raising children in the future instead.
At the time, I was immersed in the joy with Chen Dong and didn't find it particularly strange.
Moreover, Chen Dong wasn't generous with me. Although we dated for seven years, expenses were basically split.
"Young boss Yang, sorry, but I won't invite you all to the wedding this time; I'm canceling it."
After some perfunctory words with my supervisor, I hung up and my gaze returned to the computer.
After being in a relationship with Chen Dong for so many years, I found out he secretly admired a girl for ten years.
He even created a post for her.
He would daily post things about the girl.
What the girl disliked eating, liked doing, even the fact they fed a cat together, everything was recorded.
I glanced down at the cat still at my feet, feeling a tinge of bitterness.
Chen Dong brought this cat over three years after we got together.
Since I wasn't familiar at first, the cat scratched me several times.
I told Chen Dong many times to send the cat away and argued with him numerous times.
But Chen Dong insisted that it would be fine after we got used to it and accused me of being cold-hearted and petty with the cat.
I cherished the relationship so much that after ignoring Chen Dong for a while, I made amends.
Moreover, I took on the responsibility of caring for the cat, and over time, the cat became much closer to me.
In fact, compared to Chen Dong, the cat was more affectionate towards me.
Until once when Chen Dong took the cat to the vet, he accused me of being manipulative and making the cat affectionate towards me.
During this time, I always thought Chen Dong was joking or just misusing words.
But seeing the post, I finally understood.
Chen Dong spoke his true feelings; this cat belonged to the girl he had a crush on.
While scrolling through these posts, I saw Chen Dong saying he knew there was no chance with the girl, so he wanted a farewell ceremony.
He finally chose what the netizens suggested: to see the aurora in five days.
