[Go ahead and hit me. You'd better just kill me; that would give you complete peace and quiet.]

[Before you kill me, I have only one last wish: I want to sign the divorce papers immediately. Even if I die, I want to sever all ties with you completely! Forever and ever, I will have nothing to do with you again!]

[Shut up!]

He actually hit her, a cruel slap that drew blood from the corner of her mouth.

......

[Bai Xiaoruo, listen to me carefully. I, Xian Mingyu, will only marry one wife in my life, and that is you. No matter what happens, I will never divorce you. This child, I want him, I want him, boy or girl, I want him. You and the baby are mine, and you're not going anywhere.]

......

[I'd be a dog if I lied!]

[Then you can be a puppy.]

They smiled at each other.

[After giving me such a long face, you finally smiled. Had enough crying? You're such a grown man, all you do is cry.]

...

[Grandpa was just saying he was worried you'd be wronged, and now you're crying like this. Anyone who didn't know better would think I was bullying you.]

He wiped away her tears with a tissue, then bent down and kissed her red and swollen eyes. "I love seeing you smile."

......

[You're so cheesy.]

[If you think I'm being cheesy, then I won't say it anymore.]

[No, you, you just need to say a few more words. I want to record it on my phone.]

......

[Bai Xiaoruo, in my heart, you are the most special.]

His warm breath tickled her neck.

[What's the most special thing about it?]

[Most notably...sleeping like a pig.]

......

[Bai Xiaoruo, I'm only saying this once. If you don't hear me again, I won't say it again.]

Fine, I won't tell you then! I don't want to hear it!

[I like you.]

......

[I don't want you to grow old, I don't want the distance between us to grow further... If one day we really have to face death, I hope that I will be the one to leave this world first.]

......

[Honey, hurry up and bend your head down, hurry up.]

[What's wrong?]

[Oh, just lower your head quickly.]

He had just lowered his head when she tiptoed, cupped his face in her hands, and kissed him directly on the lips.

She gave him a light, fleeting kiss, then playfully released his face and took two steps back.

Because she had just drunk yogurt, the milk stains from her lips had smeared onto the corners of his mouth.

She grinned at him silly—

[Happy New Year.]

He put his arm around her waist and kissed her hard on the lips.

Happy New Year, my little Ruo'er.

......

[Little Ruo'er, will you marry me?]

She blushed with embarrassment, lowered her head shyly, and stammered, "[I'm already carrying your baby... If I don't marry you, who else can I marry...]"

......

[What did I do wrong? Just tell me, and I'll change. I don't like you like this.]

If you don't like it, then don't like it.

......

I know the baby's situation is making you very sad, but the doctor said...

[Let's get a divorce, right now... I don't want to waste another word on someone like you.]

......

Don't even think about it. Seafood is considered "heating" in traditional Chinese medicine and won't do your back injury any good.

[Once my injury heals, will you still be able to make it for me to drink?]

......

[Xiao Ruo'er, I'm serious about you. Come back, okay? Stay for me.]

[I......]

......

From childhood to adulthood, all the memories, bit by bit, flooded my mind.

Her happiest and saddest days were all because of him.

He was filled with disgust for her and never wanted to acknowledge her as his wife. He made her shed countless tears and trampled on her dignity and affection time and time again.

He also gave her very beautiful dreams, held her in the palm of his hand, and made her feel a long-lost happiness.

On the hospital bed, a tear that had been gathering in the corner of the eye slid down the face of the person who had been unconscious.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes.

who I am?

I am Bai Xiaoruo.
