Chapter 1
At the wedding, my wife's first love boyfriend interrupted our oath.
"If I propose to you in public now, will you marry me?"
Without hesitation, the wife put down the diamond ring in her hand and said, "Yes!"
Then she followed her first love without looking back.
Everyone was waiting for my reaction, and I waved my hand.
"All the gifts are with you. Everyone, let's have a simple meal."
Afterwards, my wife sent me a message.
"You can live a good life without me, and he won't be able to survive without me!"
"Jiang Xue, let's get married and divorced some time."
After sending this text message, I threw my phone aside.
I have been following Jiang Xue for four years, and have been with her for three years. She is recognized as the school flower in our college, and she is the most brilliant flower in my youth.
It is the most brilliant scorching sun in my memory. I truly love her in my bones, holding her in my hand for fear of falling, and holding her in my mouth for fear of melting.
She told me that the boy with a white shirt is very beautiful, and my wardrobe is full of white shirts. She said she likes me to split my hair, so I made the style according to her preferences, and it hasn't changed for many years.
But she is always very busy and has a lot of socializing. She said it's her job and asked me not to make a fuss. She doesn't take those seriously.
Even if I am sad, I dare not refuse her because I know it is not easy to be with her. She is the school flower, and I am just the inconspicuous one among her many suitors.
I have always felt that as long as I treat her well enough, she will always see my sincerity, and I even think of the scene of us growing old together in the future.
But even if I don't say it, I'm still afraid of losing her because she has someone in her heart. With just a phone call, she can be on call, rain or shine.
That's Chen Lang, her first love.
I can't do without Chen Lang for the few arguments I have with Jiang Xue.
For the last time, Jiang Xue even spoke harshly to me, "Zhao Heng, please understand me. Chen Lang has a heart disease, and he can't do without me. You are a normal person."
I pretended to be generous with caution, but it became a reason for Jiang Xue to harm me at will. If I show any dissatisfaction, it's just that I'm causing trouble without reason.
I found the divorce agreement and put the wedding ring on the table.
This pair of rings was custom-made by someone I found on the spot. Jiang Xue also has a pair of rings that I had chosen for a long time. Jiang Xue told me she was very satisfied and I bought it shortly after. The ring disappeared, and Jiang Xue asked me with a look of wanting to cry or not, "Husband, will you blame me?"
"Of course not, the ring is gone. Let's make a decision. I can't bear to let you feel sad about this." She immediately burst into tears and smiled under my comfort.
At that time, I didn't know where these rings would appear.
Until I was able to customize it again, I accidentally came across Chen Lang's social circle and said, "You said I will always be your special, it's so good. Even if you are pitiful and sick of me, I am satisfied."
I will always remember that day when my heart was twisted like a knife.
How could Jiang Xue lie to me for Chen Lang's sake? She knew exactly how important that pair of rings were to me, and there was gold in them that my grandmother had left for her granddaughter in law.
That meaning is fundamentally different.
That day, we had a heated argument.
At that time, Jiang Xue said to me, "Zhao Heng, if it weren't for my parents' disagreement, I wouldn't have married you at all. You're just losing gold, and I'm still here. I'm not saying I don't want to marry you, but Chen Lang is different. His life may pass at any time, but he's just afraid of not getting a wedding. I'm just fulfilling his dream. What's wrong?"
She firmly refused to admit her mistake. That time, I broke a vase at home.
Jiang Xue was even more angry. She pointed at me and asked, "Zhao Heng, what do you mean? Today, you dare to throw a vase in front of me. Will you be punching me tomorrow?"
Her very angry questioning, with disappointment in her eyes.
At that moment, I was really a bit afraid of this woman who was much shorter than me. I was afraid that if I continued to be fierce, the woman I had loved for so many years would not marry me.
That night, I knelt on the ground and begged her by holding her leg, "Jiang Xue, I don't want to scare you. If you want to have a pair of rings with Chen Lang, I can customize another pair, but that pair means different to me. Can you discuss with Chen Lang... to exchange it?"
Jiang Xue was a bit annoyed by me and said, "Zhao Heng, can you be like a man? What are you crying and crying about?"
"I can't come back with that ring, but as you know, Chen Lang's days are running out. If you still want this ring then, I'll get it back for you."
"Jiang Xue!!!" I couldn't bear it anymore and spoke a little louder.
Jiang Xue became fierce again and said, "Zhao Heng, are you admitting your mistake? Why do you always care so much about a patient?"
After speaking, she pushed me aside, picked up my bag, and left, "I think you should calm down a bit."
I knelt in the living room for a long time that day, constantly reflecting on whether I had said something heavy to her.
When I got up in the dark, I saw Chen Lang posting on his social media, "I knew you would always be with me."
That day's Jiang Xue made me live like a joke.
Chapter 2
I sat in the living room all night, but Jiang Xue didn't come back.
I recall that after all these years with Jiang Xue, I couldn't find a place that could be called gentle.
Because there will always be a Chen Lang among us.
On the day we first started dating, I watched her walk towards me with exquisite makeup, and at that moment, I felt like my world was shining.
I have booked a restaurant with a very nice atmosphere and would like to go further with her.
But I couldn't beat Chen Lang's phone call. I heard him playing coquettish with Jiang Xue over there, "I know I'm bothering you a lot, but my heart is a bit uncomfortable now. Can you please take a look at me?"
Jiang Xue looked at me, feeling a bit embarrassed.
That's my goddess. How could I be willing to let her frown at my lack of understanding? I endured the bitterness and pretended to be generous, saying to her, "You go quickly, don't delay your illness."
After that day, Jiang Xue invited me to become diligent.
Thinking of this, my heart was once again filled with bitterness.
I sorted myself well and went to work at the company. I thought if I didn't get married, I wouldn't be able to work anymore.
On the day of our wedding, many colleagues felt a bit embarrassed when they saw me go. They refunded the portion money on the same day, but if it wasn't completed, they could still accept gifts.
A few people who are good to me all want to comfort me, but their hesitant expressions make me feel particularly pitiful.
To be honest, such an atmosphere makes me feel particularly oppressive while staying.
I applied for an overseas assignment with my supervisor, but he hesitated for a moment and asked me, "Have you all considered it carefully? If you want to go outside, I used to have a high opinion of you, but you always don't like to go because of your girlfriend. Now you have figured it out."
"I've figured it out, thank you, leader." I nodded generously.
The leader quickly approved my application for job transfer, and I filled out the form. With the project in mind, I wanted to divorce Jiang Xue as soon as possible.
Open the phone, there is no message from Jiang Xue.
But Chen Lang's social circle has already shared the place where the two of them went to eat steak.
I sneered and left my phone on the bed to start packing.
Speaking of which, it was after the big argument with Jiang Xue that she went with me to get the certificate to appease me. At that time, I really laughed and cried. After all these years, I finally married her back.
She said to me at the time, "I know you've been wronged, but we can't have the same understanding as patients, can we? Can I get the certificate from you first?"
That day, I was overjoyed to marry her, but I never knew it was just her careful calculation.
Three days after losing contact, Jiang Xue appeared.
She looked at me and asked, "Zhao Heng, I heard you're going on an assignment? When?"
"Two months later, what's going on?" I looked at her expressionless, and now she still looks aloof, as if she's not the one running away from marriage.
I looked at her and asked, "Jiang Xue, shouldn't you explain it to me?"
"What's there to explain? I love Chen Lang, and he has always been. Don't you know this? Originally, he refused to marry me because he was sick, but that day you also saw that he was willing to snatch a marriage for me. How could I not love Chen Lang like this?"
I looked at Jiang Xue without any shame, and my heart was unbearable. I endured the sourness and asked her, "What am I in your heart?"
"Zhao Heng, you need to understand that I am the school belle. After being with you for so many years, it has been my greatest effort. Fortunately, you have treated me well, so why don't we get together and part ways? I will sign the divorce agreement, but I want this house."
I looked at Jiang Xue with a calm expression and asked him, "Do you know this is the house left for me by my grandfather?"
"It's okay not to give me a house. If this place is going to be demolished, it will definitely appreciate in value. You can usually give me a discount," Jiang Xue said shamelessly.
I stared at her incredulously and said, "Jiang Xue, what if I don't give it?"
"Let's meet in court. Our property is now jointly owned by husband and wife. Can't you give it to me?" She suddenly stopped speaking.
But I have already heard her muttering, "If it weren't for having a demolished house, do you think I would be with you?"
I picked up something from my hand and smashed it at her feet: "Jiang Xue, get out of here, get out of here."
Jiang Xue was so scared that she screamed, and then continued, "Zhao Heng, do you want to kill me?" After that, she continued to shout loudly.
I watched her with a pretentious expression and watched coldly.
Finally, she called herself tired and turned around with some fear before leaving. Before leaving, she didn't forget to add fire and said, "You can't give me less than you should, otherwise don't blame me for being impolite."
I looked at her shameless expression, and at that moment, I didn't know who I had fallen in love with?
That night, I held onto the divorce agreement and burst into tears, for my stubborn love for Jiang Xue back then and for my now helpless self.
The next morning, I did see Chen Lang's social circle again: Those who are not loved are always a joke.
