It was already midnight when Mo Yunyang returned home from his business trip. Jiang Tingxia was sitting in the living room with her hair loose. She was thin and her cold back looked like a lonely ghost wandering in the world.

Mo Yunyang turned on the light and looked at her absent-minded appearance. He had guessed why Jiang Tingxia was uneasy. He put down his luggage, walked to her side, and said with concern:

"Tingxia, can't sleep again?"

Jiang Tingxia nodded. She had a severe headache and couldn't sleep well even after taking medicine.

"Are you bothered by the fact that we're leaving the base?"

Mo Yunyang asked again, "You don't want to leave?"

"No," Jiang Tingxia denied immediately, "I..."

Jiang Tingxia couldn't say the rest of the words because her heart was also conflicted and she didn't know what to do.

Mo Yunyang knew that the matter was almost certain, and his smile was bitter. He didn't look at Jiang Tingxia, his eyes were vague, "I... I have been traveling for such a long time, and I am covered in dust. I will go wash my face first, and then come to chat with you."

Jiang Tingxia nodded, but when Mo Yunyang came out of the bathroom, he was holding a shiny object in his hand.

It's a men's watch.

Jiang Tingxia followed Mo Yunyang's line of sight and felt a buzzing in her head. It was clearly Li Changpu's watch. She recognized it.

When the two of them went to Wenhai together, they bought two watches in the store, one for her and one for Li Changpu. Because the style and workmanship of the two watches were similar, and they looked like matching watches, they both wore them all the time. Later, they encountered an accident and were separated. After Jiang Tingxia came back, she never saw Li Changpu wear his watch, and his wrist was empty. As for fear of embarrassment, Jiang Tingxia took off her women's watch and put it away carefully.

How come Li Changpu's watch appeared here?

Jiang Tingxia had a bad suspicion in her heart. She thought that Li Changpu might have placed the watch here on purpose, waiting for Mo Yunyang to find it when he came back.

It's ambiguous no matter how you think about it if another man's things appear in the bathroom.

In Jiang Tingxia's heart, she would never believe that given Li Changpu's personality, he would do such a thing.

Mo Yunyang looked at the watch and sneered, "It must be Li Changpu's stuff."

"Has he been to the house?"

Mo Yunyang was not very happy, but he had a smile on his face. However, if you looked closely, you could see that there was no smile in his eyes at all.

He asked, "Have you been together these days?"

Jiang Tingxia took the watch from Li Changpu, rubbed the cold strap with his fingers, and admitted it.

"Yes."

She said: "Li Changpu seems to want to get back together with me."

Mo Yunyang put his hands in his pockets, leaned against the dining table, and looked at Jiang Tingxia who was sitting hunched over in the chair.

"Isn't this a good thing? During the two years we were in Mussori, you were always thinking about him," Mo Yunyang lit a cigarette. Under the orange-red flame, his eyes were dim. "You and Li Changpu can be together again. Shouldn't you be happy?"

"Maybe," Jiang Tingxia should have been happy, but she still looked worried, as if she was shrouded in a layer of sorrow, airtight and suffocating, "but I can't be happy."

She said: "Li Changpu and I are no longer suitable for each other."

After Mo Yunyang heard what Jiang Tingxia said, he lowered his head and thought for a moment. He straightened up and the expression on his face had changed.

Mo Yunyang took a deep puff of his cigarette, put most of it in the ashtray, and walked over to Jiang Tingxia.

"Ting Xia, I know you encountered something bad. Your face..." Mo Yunyang stopped here, and he couldn't bear it. He said, "Your face is disfigured, so you dare not accept anyone. In the two years we have been together, you have never been truly happy, because you closed your heart and hid inside, feeling sad and upset alone."

"But," Mo Yunyang advised Jiang Tingxia, "the person you have been waiting for is now anxiously knocking on your door. Since you hear the knock, why are you still unwilling to open the door and accept him?"

"You don't understand," Jiang Tingxia suddenly collapsed. She had cried too much recently and her eyes hurt whenever she cried. "I asked Li Changpu before. I asked him what he liked about me."

"He said he liked me the first time he saw me. He said he liked my beauty."

Jiang Tingxia cried until her eyes were full of tears, her face looked anxious and helpless, "Brother Yunyang, you don't know, I used to have a bad temper, I loved to boss people around, I was picky, I was also willful, I loved to get mad at him, Li Changpu didn't like these at all, we always quarreled because of this, he likes the kind of girl who is down-to-earth, steady, obedient and sensible, he originally wanted to marry home and have children with that kind of person, he said he had never seen a woman as delicate and troublesome as me, I know I am only beautiful, so he is willing to give in to me and coax me, he does whatever I say."

Jiang Tingxia blurted out all the words that were stuck in his heart.

"But," she covered her face helplessly, her cold tears soaking her palms, her shoulders shaking from crying, "I'm like this now, what should I do?"

Mo Yunyang reached out his hand and patted Jiang Tingxia on the back. Seeing Jiang Tingxia so upset because she couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart, although he couldn't bear it, after a moment of silence, Mo Yunyang still said: "Tingxia, if Li Changpu was a person who only looked at appearance, after knowing your current appearance, he would not keep pestering you to get back together with you."

Mo Yunyang asked seriously, "Since we came back, you have always kept a distance from him. Have you ever thought that if you keep pushing him away, and Li Changpu really gets discouraged and turns away and never looks back, can you really accept such a result?"

Jiang Tingxia's crying suddenly stopped. Would Li Changpu leave and never look back? Thinking that he would never look at her again, Jiang Tingxia felt as if a needle had pierced her heart. The tiny wounds kept bleeding, and she felt so sad that she almost died.

Jiang Tingxia suddenly thought, the reason why she dared to push Li Changpu away again and again was because she knew that he would come to her again, so she pushed him further and further away without any scruples.

But, if Li Changpu really left, and hated her from then on... Jiang Tingxia cried in her heart, no, she thought, she really couldn't accept it.

……

Li Changpu walked out of the office just as Zhao Xiaojun handed him a document.

Zhao Xiaojun: "Commander Li, this is Engineer Mo's resignation letter."

Many possibilities flashed through Li Changpu's mind. He had said that he would give Jiang Tingxia one day to let her and Mo Yunyang talk it out and then they could go and get a divorce.

However, just as Li Changpu reached out to take the report, Zhao Xiaojun said, "Engineer Mo has applied to leave with his wife."

Li Changpu's hand froze as he took the report, and it stopped in mid-air.

"They're going together?"

Zhao Xiaojun saw his face change immediately. The look he gave him was filled with shock, confusion, and rage. Zhao Xiaojun rarely saw Li Changpu's emotions fluctuate so much, so he quickly explained, "Yes."

"Engineer Mo said that his wife couldn't adapt to the domestic environment, so he applied to leave for his wife."

Li Changpu's face turned pale and his teeth were grinding.

Jiang Tingxia, you are great.
