One.

The temperature difference between day and night is significant. During the day, wearing a warm sweater is just enough, but at night, it cannot withstand the cold wind. I haven't eaten, and my stomach is about to starve. Qin Fangrui is busy getting a divorce from Lin Dongming, so she doesn't have time to take care of my dinner.

Qin Fangrui sat across from him, her face powdered white like a ghost, tears streaming down in two lines. She stared at Lin Dongming with her large, trembling eyes, clutching a few thin sheets of paper in her shaking hands, unable to speak.

Oh? It's too expensive! I won't eat it.

I don't want this burden, I want Xiang Xiang. As long as you promise to be with me, I won't argue about anything. Qin Fangrui completely disregarded my feelings and her words stabbed into my heart, one by one.

I'm so familiar with this, it's so boring. What are you eating here for? He stood by the roadside to hail a taxi.

Go away! I've long stopped wanting to be with you!Qin Fangrui stood up and fiercely threw the papers onto Lin Dongming's face, with a distorted expression and a loud roar, "Take the divorce agreement and go enjoy your happy days with your vixen, I spit on them!"

Lin Dongming, I'm not afraid to have a falling out with you. Fine, you can leave if you want, but on one condition. It's better if you agree, and even if you don't, you still have to agree. Qin Fangrui raised her arms and paced around the living room. She accidentally kicked a stainless steel teacup, causing it to roll with a rumbling sound that made my eardrums ache.

I don't know how I got out of the house. When I realized it was cold, I was already outside.

It's so late, I'm not going anymore. How about you drop me off? If it weren't for following Chen Jinmo, I wouldn't come out at this late hour to go to the city center, even if you killed me.

After 8 pm in the residential area, night market stalls gradually set up. I didn't have extra money to eat out, so I headed towards a spicy hot pot stall.

Fangrui, that's settled then. From now on, Jingxiang will follow me, and you take good care of Jingyuan. Lin Dongming finally raised his head and spoke. Seeing me, he showed no surprise. He looked at me deeply, seeming somewhat guilty.

I tidied up my backpack straps and muttered, "I don't know again."

"Oh, it's just a few bucks. Mr. Fang, I'll settle with you later." Chen Jinmo seemed to be familiar with the boss, he pulled me a few meters away and shouted at the boss.

Chen Jinmo stopped the car, pushed me inside with one hand, and before I could react, I sat up straight and nervously asked him, "Where are we going?"

Bang! Just at this moment, the door was forcefully pushed open. Lin Jingxiang, barefoot and covering her ears, ran out screaming, "I won't go with anyone! I won't go! Are you guys ever going to stop bothering me? When can our home not be noisy! Ah?!"

I only now understand what happened, forcing myself not to cry, but tears fall like pearls off a broken string, rolling down one by one.

Lin Dongming hasn't been home for a long time.

This perception, almost makes me despair.

How dare you look down on me?

How can you eat these things? Come on, let's go. Big brother will take you to a feast. Chen Jinmo said as he pulled me along. I picked up my school bag and hesitated, saying, "I haven't paid yet."

"Girl, why haven't you gone back yet at this late hour?" Chen Jinmo popped up and gave me a knock on the head. He messed up my hair and sat down beside me.

Feeling unhappy?

My parents, neither of them loves me. The little love they have is all poured onto Lin Jingxiang. This cruel fact slapped me hard.

Her tantrum made Lin Dongming furrow his brows. I watched as my parents started arguing, using the most vicious language to attack each other, completely disregarding the years of love and intimacy they shared. It was like watching clowns.

Lin Dongming! If you keep talking nonsense, I'll tear your mouth apart! Qin Fangrui was like an angry mother tiger, ready to strike at any moment.

I'm going, I still don't know about you, there are a few words "unhappy" written on your face, which can deceive me.

No, I'm afraid you'll spend money recklessly.

Don't go, Jingyuanyuan, I invite you to eat crayfish tonight.

"Boss, I'm eating here." I found a chair and sat down. The boss placed a disposable bowl and chopsticks in front of me. I picked a few pieces of lotus root, took a few bites, and it was so hot that it made me grimace.

Next to the sofa, a pair of black leather shoes had fallen several pieces of broken glass. Lin Dongming sat on the sofa, bowing his head in silence, resembling a winter mushroom that had been beaten and defeated by frost.

Under this eerie atmosphere, my nose gradually becomes sour, and my vision becomes increasingly blurred. Qin Fangrui raised her head proudly, like a proud peacock, waiting for him to pour out his grievances.

However, on the third day, as soon as I pushed open the door to go home, I smelled an unusual gunpowder scent. The living room looked like it had been bombarded by cannons, with everything in a mess. The TV was smashed into pieces, and the whole room was filled with smoke, making it impossible for me to open my eyes.

He forced a bitter smile.

My heart is in excruciating pain.

Fang Rui, I know you resent me. Our relationship has been strained for years. We have been bound together for the sake of our two children. You have had enough, and so have I. Lin Dongming has never spoken so much before. He seemed like a pond filled with water, and at that moment, when the floodgates opened, long-held emotions poured out. "At this point, I have no intention of hiding anything from you. Yes, as you suspected, I am with Yan Li now. We were each other's first love and have been old classmates for many years. You knew about these things when we were in college. She came to me two years ago after her divorce, wanting to be with me, but I rejected her harshly for the sake of this family."

A constant ringing sound filled my mind, gradually, I couldn't hear anything.

Lin Dongming quickly stood up and said in a flattering tone, "Xiang Xiang, Daddy can give you a better future. Your Aunt Yan's uncle is the president of a bank. With your talent, you can study finance in the future and Daddy..."

I was eating skewers while blowing on them. Suddenly, someone tapped me on the back of my head. I thought it was someone who accidentally bumped into me while passing by, so I raised my hand and rubbed it in annoyance.

I originally wanted to just get by like this, for Jingxiang, for Jingyuan. Lin Dongming's eyes were bloodshot, and a wild sob came from his throat, accusingly saying, "But what about you, Fangrui? You despise me, you've despised me since we started dating, despised me for not having money, despised me for being unsuccessful. You despise me like you despise a beggar on the roadside. For so many years, I've let you beat and scold me, even if I were a dog, you should have felt sorry for me."

"Haven't you eaten yet?" he looked at me curiously.

Sell you. Chen Jinmo sat next to me, slammed the car door, "Driver, drop us off at Ximen Street, at the intersection of May 1st Road."

No.

"Hmm..." I nodded indistinctly while eating lotus root slices.

She yelled at them with anger on her face, her chest heaving with excitement and indignation. Qin Fangrui looked panicked and grabbed a slipper, rushing over, "My goodness, there are broken glass shards here. Put on your shoes before coming out. Lin Dongming will drive me crazy, and you will drive Mom crazy too!"

"Didn't we agree that whoever takes Jingxiang away doesn't need the house? How can you go back on your word?" Lin Dongming shouted unwillingly, as if in their eyes, we have become bargaining chips.

My mood is gloomy, and even breathing has become difficult. Objectively speaking, I sympathize with Lin Dongming, but this sympathy is not enough to make me forgive him. I deeply realize that I am about to become a child from a single-parent family, and perhaps in the future, I will have to live through painful days with Qin Fangrui.

They fought over Lin Jingxiang's face, which was deeply imprinted in my mind, until many years later, that night became a scar that I couldn't bear to uncover.

Fool, I'm happy to.

Since you have always looked down on me, why did you want to be with me? When you were dumped by your wealthy boyfriend, why did you come to me? Why did you marry me? You are demeaning yourself, Fangrui. I am a man, and I also have self-respect. Lin Dongming's eyes were clouded with mist, and a layer of lifeless despair covered his face, which was a manifestation of the powerlessness caused by the shattered marriage and his disappointment in Qin Fangrui.

My body feels dehydrated and uncomfortable, but I can't do anything, I can't do anything at all.
