A foreign city, dear you

Ye Lian's heart ached so much that she twisted into a ball.

She turned around and saw the study door.

Tonight, he no longer knocked on the door, and he no longer called her "Lian".

I don’t know how long it took, but Ye Lian got up.

In the darkness, she came to the living room.

She saw his bedroom door closed

She deliberately made a little noise.

She hoped that Cao Xueqian could hear her and know that she was in the living room,

Then he got up and took her into his arms as before,

Tell her that nothing really happened between him and Cheng Dianfei. On the night of September 10th, he had dinner with other friends. In the past three or four days, he was really on a business trip and was not with Cheng Dianfei... …

Tell her that he does not want a divorce or separation from her;

tell her...

……

Ye Lian paid attention to the movement of the bedroom door, hoping that the door would creak open, and then the familiar figure would come out...

However, the door was still quiet and closed. The people inside didn't seem to hear the movement outside, or they didn't want to respond to the movement outside.

Ye Lian gave up her heart and came to the balcony sadly.

The Tianqin Pavilion opposite the balcony has long been dark, and everyone in every household is immersed in sweet dreams.

The long and narrow space outside the balcony reflected the faint night light of the city.

In the corner of the balcony, there was the sound of the two turtles crawling.

These two turtles were originally placed in the living room.

That night, I remember it was the night after Chang Xun came back. Ye Lian, who was sleeping very lightly, was woken up by these two turtles. Cao Xueqian, who was sleeping, was woken up by Ye Lian. Without saying a word, he came outside and moved the turtle to the balcony.

No matter what, as long as Ye Lian said it, he would do it, whether he was in his sleep or somewhere else.

But he would never do anything for her again.

Once they get divorced tomorrow, he will be him, she will be her, and they will no longer belong to each other...

Ye Lian thought about all the good things Cao Xueqian had done, thought about the divorce tomorrow, and thought about losing the most precious thing in her life, which made her heartbroken.

She no longer shed tears because there were no tears left.

Now that there is no way out, now that he is determined, now that the marriage is damaged, why should she take any chances? Why are you still asking for compromise?

Is there any wholehearted love in this world? Is there a single-minded man?

The charming neighbor's old man next door, his wife changed one after another Wang Daqun... How many women's hearts have they broken?

When she came to Yancheng desperately to find Cao Xueqian, didn't her mother warn her?

Eight years have passed.

During those beautiful days with Cao Xueqian, Ye Lian had long forgotten her mother's words. Even if she thought about them occasionally, she felt that her mother was just unfounded.

But tonight, those words from her mother, those warnings, were as heavy as drumsticks, banging in her ears:

"Ye Lian, did you really resign? Why are you so stupid?"

……

"Why don't you want such a good job? Are you out of your mind!?"

……

"Don't talk to me about love, love, love! Can love be food?"

……

"You will regret it later! You won't even have tears when the time comes! Let's see who will care about you!"

……

Mom, I was so stupid! I'm out of my mind! The love I want is no longer there!

I really have no tears now!

Mom, you scolded me, you scolded me bloody.

Mom, what should I tell you? You won't be worried and sad?

I still don’t want to say anything. I have chosen the path myself, with tears and blood flowing, and I have to move forward bravely.

……

Ye Lian just stood by the balcony blankly for who knows how long.

Tonight, this foreign city has not yet entered autumn, but it is already so cold.

*

No matter how long the night is, it will still be dawn.

Although Ye Lian is so afraid of dawn.

Ye Lian didn't sleep all night, and she cried too much, so her face was a little swollen.

In order not to worry Lanshan, she tried to avoid contact with Lanshan.

Ye Lian gave Lanshan money and asked him to buy buns at the bun shop on the roadside where he went to school. When he came back at noon, he had a fast food at the restaurant downstairs.

Lanshan asked, Mom, where are you going today?

Ye Lian pretended to have something to do and turned around to answer Lan Shan, saying that her parents had to go out for something today.

Lanshan asked, dad doesn’t want to go to work today?

Ye Lian said that because this matter was very important, her father had to take leave to do it.

Lan Shan asked, Mom, what are you and Dad going to do?

Ye Lian choked for a moment, and then she calmed down and told Lan Shan that you wouldn't understand what adults say, so don't ask so many questions. Go to school quickly. You have to have breakfast on the way.

Lanshan stopped asking, but there was still confusion on his face.

He said goodbye to his mother, carried his schoolbag and left the house.

Ye Lian looked at Lanshan's back, feeling very painful in her heart.

Poor child, he doesn't know yet that this family is about to undergo fission.

After Lanshan went to school, Cao Xueqian opened the bedroom door and came out.

Since their separation last Thursday (September 9), this is the first time the two of them have seen each other alone at home.

But the two people are no longer as close as before.

Neither of them spoke, and neither seemed to want to look at the other.

Ye Lian has no illusions anymore.

Cao Xueqian would rather not go to work but divorce her, which shows how determined he is to divorce.

Ye Lian took out her ID card and then her marriage certificate.

Her fingers gently touched the photo of her and Cao Xueqian on the marriage certificate;

Her eyes fell on those two sweet smiles.

Cao Xueqian seems to be ready.

He didn't wear work clothes today, just casually wearing a black T-shirt and a pair of overalls, but he had a kind of bravery that fascinated Ye Lian.

He said nothing and took nothing except the car keys. He just stood at the open door, seeming to be waiting for Ye Lian and urging Ye Lian to hurry up.

Ye Lian was heartbroken, but she still came to Cao Xueqian's side and followed him out the door.

The two got into the Focus, their first car together.

Ye Lian did not sit in the passenger seat. It was no longer her exclusive seat. Perhaps, this was also the last time she would sit in a car driven by him.

Cao Xueqian said nothing, seeming to acquiesce to her or hoping that she would sit in the back of the car.

The car started moving towards the place where they were going to get divorced.

Their registered permanent residence is still in Pingcheng, a relatively remote small county town, a place with many warm memories for them.

But they can go back to their original place, but they can't go back to their sweet past.

The four wheels are so ruthless, why are you driving so hard? Why isn't it bad? Why not a puncture?
