Shen Yanxiu sat in the back seat of the van, staring at his chat with Su Jin. He sent a "hello," Su Jin replied with an emoji, and then the chat went blank.
Shen Yanxiu's long eyelashes drooped, feeling utterly bored and unable to find any topics to discuss.
Just now, in the private room, her clear, innocent eyes were fixed on me as she sang, as if she only knew me...
He suddenly burst out laughing, indulging in another unrealistic dream.
Seeing him like this, his agent felt uneasy. "You're not in a relationship, are you? I'm warning you, you're in the prime of your career right now. As long as you get through this period, you'll be a top star. Don't cause any trouble."
Shen Yanxiu propped his head up, looked at the night view outside, and muttered, "No romance."
She probably doesn't even know her own name.
"That's good. I've got you a script. Take a look at it tonight."
Shen Yanxiu kept his head down, scrolling through his phone, and didn't want to answer.
Are you home yet?
Upon hearing the notification bell, Su Jin opened her phone and replied: "Not yet, still deciding which home to go back to and who to favor."
Shen Yanxiu frowned, revising and editing the message several times before finally sending it: 【Huh?】
Su Jin covered her mouth and laughed, "Just kidding."
I sent a meme of a dead pig running around.
Shen Yanxiu chuckled softly, then looked dejected. "I'm so boring, aren't I... I don't understand your jokes."
No, you sing very well and very interestingly. How old are you?
[Twenty-eight.]
Su Jin's hands moved faster than her brain: "Wow, you're even bigger than my husband."
Shen Yanxiu's smiling face instantly stopped upon seeing this sentence.
What husband? That's such an obscure term. Is this even Chinese? He can't quite understand it.
Su Jin realized what she had done after sending the message and frantically tried to recall it, but accidentally clicked delete instead.
......
My neck is so itchy, it feels like I'm missing a rope.
She looked up to the sky and cried out, "God, I'm just here to get by, please let me go."
...
Su Jin opened the Gu family's front door, and a vase flew over. Su Jin dodged it, but a shard of porcelain still grazed her forearm.
"Who! Who is plotting to assassinate me!"
The hall was deathly silent. Gu's mother sat on the floor with her hair disheveled like a bird's nest, completely unlike her usual noble and aloof self.
Gu Xingze was pulling her up, as if they had just been through a major battle.
When Gu's mother saw Su Jin silently get up, she crawled away nonchalantly, like a cockroach that had been swatted...
I wonder if it's because of the fear of being dominated by smelly socks.
Gu Xingze walked over and pulled Su Jin's bleeding arm, "Does it hurt? Are there any other injuries?"
It was just a small cut, but he was incredibly nervous and grabbed the first-aid kit to wrap her arm with several layers of gauze.
"...Why don't you wrap a few circles around my neck too?"
Gu Xingze remained silent for a long time before softly saying, "I'm sorry."
"What's wrong? What was wrong with your mother just now? Has she gone crazy?"
Gu Xingze lowered his head. "I've asked her everything. Was she very mean to you before?"
Su Jin looked at him with a "You're only just realizing this?" expression.
She waved her hand dismissively, "It's nothing. It's just that I've been treated like a maid in your house for the past three years, and I don't even have to pay her."
Even her first job was ruined by Gu's mother, who argued that as Mrs. Gu, she shouldn't be showing her face in public.
Gu Xingze rubbed his aching eyes. "Why didn't you tell me? Did you not care?"
"It's not that I don't care, it's that I'm truly at my wit's end."
Her favorability rating didn't increase at all. What could she do? She could only swallow her anger and try to overcome any difficulty.
Su Jin added, "I thought she did this at your behest, so what's the point of telling you?"
Gu Xingze's tears fell drop by drop, like beads from a broken string.
"I'm sorry, honey. I didn't know. I really didn't know you'd been having such a hard time."
He wiped away his tears and carefully took Su Jin's hand.
“I just told my mom not to come to our house anymore, or I will cut ties with her. I also went to see your parents and sister. They have no money to live on anymore.”
Su Jin raised an eyebrow, wondering what Gu Xingze had gone to do. Could he have hired a group of thugs?
"Don't worry, no one will bully you anymore."
Gu Xingze gently grasped Su Jin's hand with his large hand. He had arrived too late and acted too late, and he didn't know if it was too late.
"Wife, I've been terribly wrong all this time. Maybe that's why you want a divorce. But can you give me another chance? Don't sentence me to death. I really can't lose you."
He sat on the sofa, bent over, and begged Su Jin for forgiveness in a very devout posture, his tall body shrinking into a small ball.
Su Jin understood. No wonder Gu's mother looked so disheveled just now, as if she had rolled around in a chicken coop twice.
So it turns out she was driven away by her own precious son; he really broke her guard.
She looked down at Gu Xingze's red eyes and nose.
A man's tears are a woman's stimulant.
"Don't cry, honey."
!
Although Su Jin's use of "husband" was very stiff, like a human-machine interface.
But Gu Xingze seemed to have been injected with chicken blood, and he sat up abruptly, his voice trembling as if he couldn't believe it.
What did you just call me?
Su Jin coughed twice, feigning seriousness, "Honey."
Gu Xingze's face flushed with excitement. He hugged Su Jin tightly, inhaling deeply the scent of her neck.
He was still muttering, "Wife...wife, you smell so good, did you put on perfume?"
