I Just Want to Divorce - Chapter 24
The typhoon has ended, but the impact has not disappeared. In the evening, it started to rain. It was a light rain at first, but it soon became heavier and heavier. With strong winds and thunder, the scene was like the end of the day.
Pedestrians sought shelter from the rain, and after a while, there were only vehicles struggling to move on the road.
Yan Xiao walked out of the dessert shop with red bean double skin milk, and the driver immediately greeted him with an umbrella. The car was parked just in front of the store, but a few steps away, but because of the heavy rain, he was still wet with a few pieces.
“Mr. Yan, please wipe it.” Knowing that Yan Xiao hates untidy, when he got to the car, the driver handed over a pack of tissues at the right time.
Yan Xiao said “no” and instructed the driver to drive directly.
Road visibility became poor and drivers slowed down accordingly. Yan Xiao didn’t urge him, he held the dessert box with one hand, so that the double skin milk would not spill out due to the bumps in the car, and a faint smile flashed in his eyes.
According to her usual schedule, Ye Fei was already at home at this time. If you see what you bring, you should be very happy. Yan Xiao decided not to tell him the news of his early return. According to what Cheng Minghao said and the online love coup, appropriate surprises are necessary.
An hour later, Yan Xiao arrived home on time. But to his disappointment, he did not see Ye Fei in the living room.
At first, Yan Xiao thought Ye Fei was in the room. He knocked on the door, but no one answered.
Yan Xiao thought for a while, took out his mobile phone and sent a WeChat message to Ye Fei, asking him if it was inconvenient to come back because of the heavy rain and whether he needed to pick it up by himself.
Ye Fei didn’t reply.
Probably being busy, Yan Xiao came to such a conclusion.
He waited patiently for twenty minutes, during which time he walked around the house. Seeing the bowls Ye Fei had used in the morning, his shoes in the shoe cabinet, and those strange snacks in the theater room, the inexplicable anxiety in my heart quickly disappeared.
The time pointed to seven o’clock, and Ye Fei still hadn’t come back. Yan Xiao became unable to concentrate, accompanied by vague unease. So, he abandoned his restraint and took the initiative to call Ye Fei’s number.
No one picked up the first time.
Yan Xiao continued to call for a second time, and when the bell rang for a long time and was about to hang up automatically, he finally got through.
“Ye Fei,” Yan Xiao couldn’t wait for Ye Fei to speak, and asked directly, “Where are you? I’ll pick you up.”
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds, and then Ye Fei’s voice was slightly lighter than usual: “No, I’m not going back.”
Yan Xiao automatically understood this sentence as not coming back tonight. So he stood up and pretended not to hear Ye Fei’s refusal. As he walked out, he said, “Is it going to come back to play at Gu Ruijia’s house? Let me pick you up.”
“Yan Xiao,” Ye Fei stopped him, trying to make her voice sound calmer and indifferent, “I mean, I moved out, and I won’t go back again.”
Yan Xiao’s footsteps stopped in place for a while, and he was silent for a long time before he said, “Ye Fei, you promised me.”
“Yeah,” Ye Fei closed her eyes and said in his usual unconcerned and understated tone, “but I changed my mind.”
Ye Fei said, “I don’t want to continue, that’s all.”
Ye Fei also said, “I’m about the divorce…”
“Ye Fei,” Yan Xiao interrupted him and didn’t let him continue, “Where are you?”
Ye Fei didn’t answer his question, she just said, “Let’s get together and leave, okay?”
No, Yan Xiao thought. He didn’t want to part with Ye Fei, not under any circumstances.
He opened the shoe cabinet to change his shoes, his face was expressionless, as if Ye Fei’s words didn’t affect him in any way. But the simple act of changing shoes, he did it for a few minutes and didn’t finish it. Yan Xiao lowered his head, only to realize that his left and right sets were reversed.
“As long as I think about it, I’ll know your address.” He changed his shoes calmly, gave Ye Fei a few seconds to think about it, and then asked again, “Where are you?”
This is the first time Yan Xiao has shown such a strong aggression in front of Ye Fei, Ye Fei found that she couldn’t avoid it any longer. Because Yan Xiao made it clear, he could find out his residence, and he was indeed capable of doing so.
If Ye Fei didn’t tell him, he would find a way by himself.
Ye Fei didn’t want to make everyone know about the two, so she had to give an address to the phone.
“Okay.” Yan Xiao said, hung up the phone and called the driver.
Yan Xiao found out that he did something wrong. Seven years ago, because of his hesitation and inactivity, he missed the opportunity to ask Ye Fei’s contact information immediately, and then Ye Fei completely forgot about him, even if he deliberately mentioned Songshi, Nothing happens.
And seven years later, because of his inaction, he almost lost Ye Fei again.
Cheng Minghao was right, the moment he got into the car, Yan Xiao had to admit it.
He didn’t say anything, and Ye Fei didn’t know anything. Of course, it probably wouldn’t matter if he knew it, but then Yan Xiao would have enough reasons to approach Ye Fei, instead of always watching from a distance, helpless and powerless.
Fortunately, it was not too late, Yan Xiao touched the marriage certificate that had always existed in his pocket, and felt a little calmer in his heart.
The rain did not know when to stop, allowing the car to drive more smoothly in the dark. The bright lights of the city were left mercilessly behind, heading for the only destination.
After hanging up Yan Xiao’s phone, Ye Fei sat on the bed in a daze.
His new home is very small, only about 60 square meters. It is just right for a person to live alone. A big house will always make Ye Fei feel spacey.
Leaving is the only way Ye Fei can think of, distance and time are the best cooling agents for feelings. The two have less contact and less meetings. Over time, Yan Xiao will always calm down.
Ye Fei is not someone to like, Yan Xiao has everything, so he is not a must.
But Yan Xiao put on that stance of never giving up, as if he would definitely see him tonight no matter what.
Ye Fei was powerless to lean on the head of the bed, and she couldn’t help but start fantasizing.
It would be great if he hadn’t gotten sick, he wouldn’t even be afraid of cancer, he could still be with Yan Xiao for a long time with earlier treatment. But it is ALS, the most desperate disease in the world.
The muscles of the body will atrophy a little bit. At first, they just can’t move. Later, they can’t swallow and eat, and finally they will be deprived of breathing.
Ye Fei knew that if he tried his best, his life might be extended by a few years. But he didn’t want to live without dignity, and he didn’t want to be seen by Yan Xiao when he was struggling to survive.
He could only leave quietly while Yan Xiao hadn’t fallen too deep, before the layer of window paper between them was pierced.
The regular knock on the door interrupted his thoughts, and Ye Fei was stunned for a few seconds before she recovered. Yan Xiao came, and this realization made his heart beat faster in an instant.
Ye Fei took a deep breath, walked over to open the door, and met Yan Xiao’s line of sight.
For a while, neither of them spoke. In the end, Ye Fei took the initiative to speak, he turned sideways to get out of the way, and said to Yan Xiao, “Come in.”
As if waiting for his words, Yan Xiao immediately stepped into the room without any hesitation. During this period, his eyes kept falling on Ye Fei, as if he would lose something if he didn’t look at him.
Ye Fei looked a little unnatural by him, so she used the excuse to get water to avoid it.
As soon as the refrigerator was opened, Yan Xiao’s voice came from behind: “I bought double skin milk today, but you are not here.”
Not an accusatory tone, but it sounds a little pathetic.
Ye Fei’s heart was sour, she paused for a few seconds before turning back and said softly, “Really?”
Yan Xiao let out an “um”, he took a step forward and seemed to want to hold Ye Fei’s hand. But Ye Fei avoided, and he didn’t bother anymore. Just looking at Ye Fei’s eyes, calling his name: “Ye Fei.”
“Um.”
“This is the amount of Feixiao Technology’s profit last year.” Yan Xiao took out his mobile phone and typed a series of numbers on it, accurate to two decimal places.
Ye Fei didn’t understand why he said this, but she was relieved. He let out an “oh” and teased, “Is Yan always showing off to me?”
This topic is safe and can’t go wrong either way. So Ye Fei fought hard and continued following him: “It seems that making games is really profitable.”
Yan Xiao said “no”, he put down the phone, looked away from Ye Fei briefly, and looked around the room: “You like this kind of apartment, I will ask someone to find a better one immediately.”
After a pause, he said, “If you want to make TV series and movies, I can also invest.”
“Fei Xiao video is not good enough now, I know,” Yan Xiao stared at Ye Fei’s eyes and said seriously, “Can you wait any longer, Ye Fei. I will do my best, you don’t have to look for others in the future. online channels.”
“I’ll contact the theater line right away, your movie…”
Ye Fei’s heart was beating so fast that he almost burst out, and he didn’t want to listen any more.
“No need,” Ye Fei interrupted him. She turned around and walked towards the living room. She issued a eviction order, “You already know the address. If you have nothing to do, go back first. I want to sleep.”
Yan Xiao turned a deaf ear, and pressed his shoulder the moment he was about to step out of the kitchen.
Ye Fei turned around and struggled, but didn’t.
“I lied to you when I said I needed a de facto other half.” Yan Xiao said.
“I later recovered the photo I took at Gu Ruijia’s house. I want to see you all the time.”
“I gave you the lighter because I didn’t want you to be so close to others.”
“I only need you, not the kind that sign a contract.”
With a bang, Ye Fei’s brain became blank. A person who has always been eloquent, but at this time can’t say a word.
Yan Xiao’s character is restrained and silent. Before he came, Ye Fei had guessed what he might say.
Maybe he will continue to find all kinds of excuses for him to move back, maybe he will be treated coldly, but he never thought that Yan Xiao would speak so directly, even if he wanted to pretend he didn’t understand.
Ye Fei wanted to hide subconsciously, but Yan Xiao didn’t allow it. The pressure on his shoulder was very strong, which stabilized his body and seemed to stabilize his heart.
“Ye Fei,” Yan Xiao said, “I like you and want to be with you.”
