Chapter 7: Divorce

Ding Dong~

"takeout!"

Su Yin opened the door and took the takeaway. Before he could even look at it, a hand took it. He hurried to pull the person away, "I cooked dinner. If you don't want to eat, I'll change to something else. Why do you eat takeaway every day? You can't eat much of these boxed meals."

Pei Weixue turned sideways, pulled the takeaway back and brought it to the dining table.

"Xue'er." Su Yin really had no choice but to give him a piece of his mind. In the past, the two of them would never resort to cold violence no matter what happened. Now Pei Weixue was too lazy to pay attention to him. He sighed and sat across from Pei Weixue, opened the stew pot and scooped out a bowl. "You...don't take those medicines, okay?"

Pei Weixue lowered his head to eat his lunch box and glanced at the medicinal food pushed in front of him. The taste of the medicinal ingredients was very light, almost overwhelmed by the taste of the food. He paused for a few seconds, stood up and went back to his room. When Su Yin followed him and called him to eat, he took out the printed divorce agreement and patted Su Yin's chest, "Sign it."

Su Yin caught the agreement before it fell to the ground. He turned to the last page and looked at Pei Weixue's signature. He clenched it and then released it, and the paper instantly became wrinkled. He asked, "If I sign it, will you let me hold you when you have an attack?"

"I don't live here anymore."

Su Yin's pupils shrank, "What did you say? Where are you moving to?" His eyes fell on every corner of the room, and then he realized that many things in the room were missing, and the snowman doll that was originally placed on the bed was also gone.

The snowman doll was a gift from Pei Weixue's parents when he was thirteen years old. He has always carried it with him. The style is very old and there are some traces of stitching. He always has to hold it when he goes to bed. Others recognize their beds, but Pei Weixue recognizes this pillow. He can't sleep without holding it.

Pei Weixue followed his gaze and said after seeing that he had discovered it, "I will move out tonight." Meeting Su Yin's eyes that suddenly turned red, he turned his head away, walked past him and continued eating.

Su Yin stood there in a daze for a long time before walking out with the agreement and pen, "I've signed it, can't I move? You have a share here too, you shouldn't give it all to me." He looked at the division of property with complicated feelings. As they said, he hurt Pei Weixue like that, but in the end Pei Weixue gave him so many things, including this house.

He turned back to his room to redraft a new agreement, but found a document on his computer desktop. Was it the one he had drafted before?

When he opened it, he almost broke the mouse.

He actually wanted Pei Weixue to leave the house. No, how dare he do that?

She simply changed the name on the document, printed it out, and gave it to Pei Weixue, "Xue'er, sign this. I agree that you want a divorce. But... don't move out."

When the disease flared up, Pei Weixue would tirelessly sit in front of the computer and write a lot of code, even if most of the code was useless, and his behavior would get out of control.

When others lose control of their behavior, they will destroy tables and chairs, but Pei Weixue hurts himself and becomes very manic. No matter what you say or how you comfort him, it is useless.

The first time he saw Pei Weixue fall ill, he was almost scared to death by Pei Weixue, even though they were sitting by the lake doing their final homework.

His final assignment was to hand in a piece of clothing design that he was most proud of. After meeting Pei Weixue, he stopped pestering Jiang Zhi to be a model, and would let Pei Weixue wear the clothes he designed first.

Pei Weixue gestured at his figure, but she was not annoyed. She let him pull and tug, and immersed herself in building the website system.

"Xue'er, you are still too thin. I'll go see if there is anything delicious to cook for you in the evening." Su Yin took a tape measure to measure Pei Weixue's wrist. He had a big skeleton, so even though he didn't have much flesh, it was still the size of an adult man. He recorded it after measuring.

He often measured Pei Weixue's measurements, under the pretext of making clothes, but in reality he would secretly compare them with the previous few days to see if she had gained any weight.

Pei Weixue stared at the computer screen, seemingly oblivious to what was happening outside, but in fact, she responded to every word he said. "Okay, let's go buy some ingredients later, and I'll learn from you."

"Why do you need to learn from me? Just eat it."

Pei Weixue: "I want to make it for you too."

Su Yin smiled happily, nodded in agreement like a chick, and went back to continue drawing.

Suddenly, the sound of typing on the keyboard beside him became louder and louder, attracting Su Yin's attention. He turned his head and found that Pei Weixue was pale and kept typing on the keyboard with a strange expression.

"Xue'er?" Su Yin leaned over to take a look. The code on the screen was filling in so fast that he was dazzled. "Xue'er?" He grabbed Pei Weixue's shoulder and before he could pull away, Pei Weixue punched the stone next to him, and it slashed downwards, and blood oozed out instantly.

"Xue'er!" Su Yin stopped him from smashing stones again in fear and worry, trying to wake him up.

Pei Weixue shook off his hand and yelled at him: "Don't bother yourself!" He picked up the computer and left quickly.

Su Yin chased after him and was yelled at several times. He was confused and worried, so he chased him to the small rental house that Pei Weixue rented near the school. The door was closed and he couldn't get in, so he could only knock on the door anxiously.

I have never seen Pei Weixue so agitated. Did something happen?

Less than half an hour later, Pei Weixue opened the door. His face was unusually pale and fragile, with a hint of fear in his eyes. "I'm sorry. I scared you." He looked at Su Yin, unable to tell whether Su Yin's expression was good or bad.

This disease always makes him feel extremely excited for no reason, and also makes him lose his temper for no reason. He even wanted to push Su Yin away and ask her not to sit next to him, but fortunately he turned around and vented his emotions on the stone.

"Does your hand still hurt?" Su Yin held his hand with pity, "Let's go back to the school infirmary to bandage it." It was class time, and there were not many people passing by, and the few who did were not paying attention to them.

He didn't ask what was wrong with Pei Weixue, he was just worried about the pain in his hand.

Upon hearing this, the fear in Pei Weixue's eyes was replaced by astonishment, and she was silently taken back to school by Su Yin.

Coming out of the infirmary, Pei Weixue hesitated again and again, making a lot of mental preparations. She stopped, her fingertips curled up, twirling the corner of her clothes, her palms sweating, "Su Yin, I have a mental illness."

His back was straight, as tight as a fully drawn bow, and he looked like a prisoner awaiting sentencing. He was afraid that Su Yin would stop being his palette because of this. His Adam's apple rolled with difficulty. "I didn't mean to hide it from you. Actually, I can control it by taking medicine, but I forgot to take it today..."

Su Yin asked him out early in the morning. He was so happy to go along that he forgot about such an important matter and almost caused a disaster.

He didn't live in the dormitory because the disease could be serious or minor and would affect his classmates. He was most afraid of causing trouble to others.

So Su Yin would hate him for being such a trouble.

"What medicine are you taking? Are there any side effects? Have you seen a psychiatrist? What did the doctor say?" Su Yin asked a series of concerned questions, his eyes glued to Pei Weixue's injured hand. There was worry and doubt in his eyes, but he did not retreat.

Pei Weixue looked up at him, her lips tightly pursed. Suddenly, like a deflated balloon, she rested her head on Su Yin's shoulder and whispered, "There are side effects. I saw a doctor, and he said it's best not to eat it. But I have to eat it."

Su Yin gently touched his head and said, "Let me see your medicine." His mother was a doctor, so he could ask her.

The rental house was just a small room, very small, with everything in it, but it was very tidy. There were two open bottles on the wooden table. He took them and looked at them, remembered the names and gave them to his mother.

He then examined the items in the house and found that many of them were damaged to varying degrees, perhaps even having been smashed.

"Is your color blindness related to this?" Su Yin asked worriedly after seeing her mother's reply.

Pei Weixue did not deny it.

That's it.

Thinking back, Su Yin placed the agreement in front of Pei Weixue and asked softly, "Okay? Let's live together, and I agree to a divorce. If you get sick, don't hurt yourself. You can bite me, hit me, and scold me like before."

There were still teeth marks left by Pei Weixue on his shoulder. The bite was very deep. It was also from that time that Pei Weixue was able to gradually control himself without taking medicine.

'Bite Me'

When Pei Weixue heard these two words, he obviously remembered the chaos when he bit Su Yin's shoulder until it bled. He turned his face slightly and remained silent.

"Okay?" Su Yin's tone softened. If it weren't for those six years, he would have hugged Pei Weixue and hummed twice, and Pei Weixue would have agreed immediately. It was not like now, when Pei Weixue ignored him after asking him several times.

Pei Weixue took the agreement and quickly read through it. It was the same agreement that Su Yin had given him before, except that the person who was to leave the house with nothing was Su Yin.

With his eyelashes drooping, he took the pen, turned to the last page and signed his name. "Go get the divorce certificate tomorrow at nine o'clock."

"No, not so fast?" Su Yin's mouth curled downwards bitterly, his face full of worry, his brows furrowed, "Not so fast."

Pei Weixue's lips curled up with a hint of sarcasm, and he glanced at her with disdain: "Why? Do you regret leaving the house?"

"No, no, no, that's not it. I mean, it's not that fast to get a divorce certificate, right?" Su Yin shook his hands back and forth, "You even put a film on our marriage certificate. Are you testing me one last time?" As he spoke, he shrugged his head down, wanting to rub Pei Weixue's hair, but after being glared at, he stood up straight again.

Pei Weixue's eyes glared, "How did you know the marriage certificate was covered with film? Why did you come into my room and mess around?"

Su Yin apologized, "Yes. I just want to know when we got the marriage certificate." He folded his hands and lay on the table to look at Pei Weixue, "Give me a chance. Test me. Just..." He thought for a moment, "How about half a year?"

"If I change within six months and you want to change your mind, how about we get a divorce?" His eyes were filled with sadness. "Okay?"

Pei Weixue was in no mood to watch him act, "Not good." He packed up his lunch box.

"Then where are you moving to? Tell me." If Su Yinxin wanted to know where to move to, he could hide there.

He stood up with the garbage bag, and Su Yin followed him stealthily. Seeing Pei Weixue throwing the garbage into the trash cans around the building, he took two steps back. Pei Weixue didn't even look at him and walked straight to the opposite door.

Su Yin's eyes lit up. So he was moving in with his mother. That was very close and totally acceptable.

After the door opened, he called out to Su Qingyue, "Mom."

Su Qingyue smiled and pulled Pei Weixue over, looked at him coldly, and closed the door when Su Yin took a step forward.

Su Yin: “…”

This life is unbearable!

He went home like a wandering soul. The medicinal food was still on the table, a little cold. He ate it mouthful by mouthful without any taste.

The house is so quiet.

At this time, he would either have dinner with his mother and the other two, or wash dishes with Pei Weixue after dinner.

How could he be eating alone?

The spoon became the target of his anger, and he threw it into the bowl with a snap. He leaned back without any strength left, looking at his home that felt both familiar and unfamiliar.

But Pei Weixue moving in with her mother was a good sign. At least she hadn't vanished without a trace, leaving him nowhere to find her.

This shows that there is still room for reconciliation between them.

Maybe mom can help him.

On the other side, Pei Weixue and Su Qingyue were sitting at the dining table with many dried herbs on it. He briefly explained the contents of the divorce agreement to Su Qingyue.

Su Qingyue nodded as she picked up the wormwood branches: "He is a little more sober. You don't have to consider my face. The most important thing is what you want to do."

Pei Weixue also picked out the rotten mugwort, "I know, Mom. Do we have to pick all of these out? Want to make sachets?"

"Let's soak our feet. It will keep us warm in the winter."

"good."

Pei Weixue's hands and feet were always cold in winter, but after getting to know Su Yin, Su Yin often took him to the club for massage, foot bath and acupuncture, which relieved the symptoms a lot.

In the past six years, he has tried to bring up those things and wanted to go to that club with Su Yin again to do what they did before, but Su Yin always ignored him.

"After I divorce him, can I live with mom forever?" Pei Weixue had long regarded Su Qingyue as his own mother. Over the years, Su Qingyue had worried about them and had several serious illnesses. He wanted to live here to take care of Su Qingyue.

Su Qingyue said, "Of course. You can stay as long as you want. But..." She took another pot of mugwort branches and said, "I still say that. Don't give me face. He has changed his mind now, so just follow your heart."

"I know."

*

Su Yin didn't sleep the whole night. He kept his eyes open until dawn, his mind full of thoughts about what to do.

I got up listlessly and prepared breakfast. I followed the weight loss recipe and ate one corn, two eggs and half a cucumber.

There was a sound at the entrance. He stuck his head out and met Pei Weixue's eyes. "Xue'er!" He hurried over. "Did you sleep well?"

"Take your ID."

Su Yin's face suddenly fell. She walked back to the house slowly, taking ten seconds to walk at a time. After a while, she moved out again. "I lost my ID card. I'll get a new one and then get a divorce."

Pei Weixue pushed him aside and walked in. The room had changed. Things were neatly arranged and the trash can was clean. He was stunned for a moment, then walked to the computer desk and took out his ID card from a small sled ornament. "Let's go."

Su Yin: “…”

After walking a few steps out of the door, Pei Weixue found that he did not follow him, so he turned sideways and looked at him quietly.

Su Yin had no choice but to go out. He was most afraid of Pei Weixue's gaze, which was so cold that he shivered.

It's also cruel.

At least...it was quite cruel to him who had no idea of ​​the situation.

Confession followed by divorce is like heaven and hell, no one can bear it.

In the elevator, Su Yin stared at the shadow reflected in the glass, and finally stared at it openly.

Pei Weixue looked straight ahead and said in a cold voice, "Don't play tricks." He must get the divorce certificate today.

Su Yin retracted his gaze, "Oh."

After they left, Pei Weixue asked him to stand still. After a while, the car stopped in front of him. After the window rolled down, Pei Weixue grabbed the steering wheel with one hand and said, "Get in."

Su Yin slapped his head, thinking he'd been careless. He was still thinking that it would take some time to get to the Civil Affairs Bureau by bus or electric car, and ignored the fact that Pei Weixue had a car.

He got into the car slowly and reluctantly, and heard Pei Weixue's impatient "tsk".

"Don't make a sound like that." Su Yin took a deep breath and said weakly: "To be honest, I really don't have those memories. I'm not pretending to have amnesia to lie to you, it's someone..." Someone is controlling my body.

"Someone what?" A puzzled voice sounded, and Su Yin realized that he couldn't say the second half of the sentence. He tried to speak again but there was still no sound.

What's going on?

Pei Weixue's grip on the steering wheel was pierced by veins running down his forearm, clearly showing his emotions. He was far from being as indifferent as he appeared.

How happy he was looking forward to marrying Su Yin, and how painful those few years after marriage were. He just didn't want to repeat the same mistakes, but he would not hide his feelings for Su Yin.

However, that was Su Yin before he was twenty years old, not the one after that.

Pei Weixue let out a long breath, his breathing disordered. It was rush hour now, and the traffic was moving very slowly. He ran into every red light.

Su Yin kept looking at him and keenly noticed that his breathing rate was abnormal. He took out a sled model from his bag and placed it in front of the car, "Is it beautiful?" He wanted to divert Pei Weixue's attention.

Pei Weixue took a look at the model and felt much more relaxed. He had taken medicine before going out, but there was nothing he could do. Once the patient encountered such an irritating situation, he would still let out some emotions.

"This is the prize I asked the front desk for when I signed up for a gym membership yesterday."

"Gym card?"

Su Yin propped up her head and looked at him, "Yeah." She patted her belly with her other hand, "Build up your abdominal muscles. My abdominal muscles. I don't know why they're gone."

Pei Weixue sneered. "If someone stays at home every day, drinking milk tea, cola, and alcohol, and doesn't move at all, it would be strange if he still has abdominal muscles." He glanced at Su Yin's white belly, and the corners of his mouth curled up and then flattened immediately.

After the green light, the vehicle started again. Pei Weixue found that he was almost calm after making a few jokes with Su Yin.

Su Yin clenched his fists until they made a creaking sound, and glared at his belly. "If you don't leave on your own, don't force me to beat you up." He even patted his stomach. "That's horrible! I must show off my beautiful eight-pack abs again."

"Stinky."

A gentle, playful voice echoed in the car.

Su Yin looked up at Pei Weixue blankly. Pei Weixue had a cold face again. He turned his head to look out the window, covered his mouth, and couldn't help but smile with his eyes curved.

Xue'er still laughs at him, which is great. The future isn't too bleak.

Next second.

"We're here, get off."

Su Yin: “…”
