01.

The happiness that was once thought to be true collapsed in an instant.

Standing at the crossroads of life.

I don't know which road leads to heaven.

Or perhaps it's all hell.

Joke: How many steps does it take to throw a pigeon from heaven to hell?

Finally ... ....

After saying this sentence, I knew that I couldn't stay in this family anymore because I didn't know what would happen next. I'm scared, scared that more unbearable facts will be uttered from my parents' mouths.

Now, looking at my parents in front of me, who are desperately explaining and poorly concealing, I also want to tell them a joke.

I clearly remember that the date on the divorce certificate was May 2007...? They hid it from me for so many years in the name of love? Why do I suddenly feel like laughing?

My mother followed behind me, and with some concern, she asked me, "Li Ge, Li Ge, where are you going?"

I will definitely give him a disdainful look and say, "Are you crazy?".

Also requires three steps.

Moreover, I particularly dislike it when people lie.

The days gone by slapped me hard in the face, constantly reminding me: "Lige, what are you thinking? Do you still consider yourself an inexperienced little princess?"

I grabbed my bag and put on my canvas shoes, ready to leave.

Yes! I did have an affair. But didn't you also find someone else later? Don't think I don't know! My dad also retorted unwillingly.

The answer is --.

Lige, sit down. Let Dad explain to you what exactly happened. Don't get angry right away. My dad held my hand, his expression filled with pain and helplessness, which made me unable to hold back my laughter.

Therefore, I cannot stay in this home full of lies.

Step one, open the refrigerator.

You have always told me that one should be sincere and responsible in life, but dad, have you lived up to it? Cheating, keeping a mistress, and even having an illegitimate child, you are really responsible! I sneered and turned to my mom, tears couldn't help but burst out, "You always say you love me and do things for my own good, but have you ever asked me if I need this kind of false love and goodness? You never asked! If this is your love for me, then I don't need it!"

The joke is: How many steps does it take to put an elephant in a refrigerator?

After speaking, I closed the door heavily, leaving behind my parents with faces full of helplessness and guilt, continuing their war in that house that could hardly be called a home anymore.

As soon as these words were spoken, my father immediately shot me a shut-up look.

Lige, you need to know, no matter what happened between me and your mother, there is one thing that will never change between us, that is, we both love you... My father, with a guilty and painful expression, walked up to me and reached out to wipe away my tears.

Dad's hand awkwardly fell in mid-air. He looked at me with a resistant expression, sighed helplessly, and withdrew his hand in disappointment.

Step two, put the elephant into the refrigerator.

Perhaps he really pities me, but at this moment, everything feels so false and ridiculous.

"Li Ge!" My father raised his voice, his face turning red.

I wiped away a tear with my own hand and asked in a slightly cold tone, "Do you not find it ironic when you say this?"

A huge joke.

However, have I really ever truly known him?

Not anymore.

Those who once looked at me with great envy, now wear expressions of pity and disdain.

I glanced at her and walked away with long strides, saying, "You can continue your performance, but I won't accompany you."

I took a step back and dodged my father's reaching hand.

Although I usually appear arrogant and fearless, like a paper tiger, boasting but actually timid when facing real challenges, to put it in Yi Tian's words.

I am like a joke.

Is it interesting to bring up old accounts now? Do you have to say these things in front of Li Ge? Mom's words made Dad even more unable to save face. He glanced at me, then turned back and growled low, trying to stop Mom from continuing.

In the past, I always felt that the TV dramas aired at 8 o'clock were too melodramatic. Either both parents were having affairs, or the person you fell in love with turned out to be your half-sibling, making it seem like your family had the most drama in the whole world. In real life, there aren't so many melodramatic things, are there?

Mother's years of hidden grievances and unwillingness, like a flood that has been blocked by a dam, once it bursts, it is unstoppable. At this moment, my mother has completely lost her sanity, constantly complaining about the pain of pretending to be happy for these years, unable to care about me who has been overwhelmed by their mutual blame and accusation on the side.

Enough. I looked at my mother with a sincere expression and said, "You two should stop pretending. It's tiring to keep up this act for so long. Please don't show your love for each other in front of me anymore, okay?"

There was a year when a joke became extremely popular across the whole country.

Then, mercilessly shatter it.

I saw the once sweet, beautiful, happy, and intense, thought to be long-lasting, those beautiful memories about family, like perfect sculptures falling apart in front of me, collapsing with a bang.

Interesting, of course it's interesting! How can Li Ge know what kind of person her ideal father is without bringing up the past!

The scattered memories that fell down, landed in my eyes, and turned into tears.

Li Ge, your father's words are true. No matter what happens between us, we both care about you...

My father's face turned pale when he heard these words. His eyes looked a bit strange, as if he didn't recognize me, as if I were a stranger.

Firstly, give me an illusion of a beautiful family, so that I can be envied by everyone, and indulge in pride as if I am invincible.

I looked at my mother, hoping to read anger or deception from her expression, but all I saw was endurance and determination.

My mother's attitude has become much more calm. She glanced at me, knowing that she couldn't hide it, and then took out the two crumpled divorce certificates from my hand, and said relievedly, "Li Ge, I should have told you earlier, but your father and I were afraid of affecting your studies, so we planned to tell you after you graduated from university. It's good that you found out by yourself now, so we don't have to figure out how to tell you."

If someone envies me again and says, "Li Ge, you are the synonym of happiness in my heart."

When Mom heard Dad's accusation, she was so angry that she picked up the divorce certificate in her hand and threw it at Dad, saying, "Do you still have the face to accuse me? Everything I did was forced by you, wasn't it? If it weren't for your heart being long gone from me, would we have come to this point?"

I am the dumbest person in the world, so dumb that I didn't know my parents have been divorced for nearly ten years, dumb enough to always believe that I have a happy family, dumb to... ....

I asked myself, "Lige, do you still feel like the happiest person in the world?"

Step three, close the refrigerator door.

Now, looking at the parents who were very loving just a moment ago, now accusing each other like enemies, I understand that the melodrama in reality may not be less than that in TV dramas, and their acting skills are many times better than those stars who only know how to stare and open their mouths.

My usually gentle and obedient mother, at this moment, stared back with unwillingness, with a determined look on her face: "What? Are you blaming me? If it weren't for you having an affair and having an illegitimate child outside, would we be getting a divorce? If it weren't for Li Ge, I would have left long ago! Are you still blaming me now? Ha, Li Ge has grown up so much, I believe she can understand my decision, but as for you, I don't know if she can understand you."
