But I do find myself ridiculous.
It's ridiculous that at a time like this, I'm being mocked by my only friend in the world.
"So pitiful?"
"How about... I take you for a couple of drinks?"
Song Qingrong put her hand on my shoulder, a playful smile on her face.
I shook my head and said, "Let's forget about it and get down to business. You coming to see me at this hour can't be anything good, can it?"
Hearing this, Song Qingrong rolled her eyes at me. "No secrets at all!"
"Can't we... not be so familiar with each other?"
I shrugged, looked at her, and my thoughts were inexplicably complicated.
I've known Song Qingrong for three years. We met at my wedding with Gu Nianci. She was my makeup artist, and her impression of me at the time was summed up in one sentence.
They act like humans but are actually dogs.
To put it bluntly, it's incredibly lucky that someone as ordinary-looking as me could marry such a beautiful woman as Gu Nianci. It's like I've earned this blessing from eight lifetimes ago.
I retorted to her: "That's not how you use 'looking like a human but a dog' (a derogatory term for someone who is actually attractive). Besides, with makeup, I'm not bad looking."
After I finished speaking, Song Qingrong ignored me and just rolled her eyes at me.
She only asked me to add her on WeChat after she finished doing my makeup, saying that since I was so ugly, I would definitely need her help often in the future. At the time, I thought she just knew that I was someone important and wanted to seduce me, so although I agreed, I didn't pay much attention to it.
Until one day, she suddenly came to me crying and asking to borrow money...
...
"What are you thinking about now?"
Suddenly, Song Qingrong's voice interrupted my thoughts again. I shook my head in annoyance. "Nothing, I was just thinking about some things."
According to the system, I only have thirty-one days left.
"Then don't think about it yet." Song Qingrong's expression suddenly turned serious.
I looked at her instinctively.
Do you know why I've come here?
"have no idea."
"Xu Yan is back!"
"Oh...I know about that."
"Your wife went to see him."
"Yes, tonight."
"You're so calm? Your wife, Gu Nianci, is going to see her childhood sweetheart, and at a hotel no less! Aren't you worried at all?" Song Qingrong looked at me speechlessly.
I took another forced drag of my cigarette, and miraculously, the tightness in my chest eased a bit. I looked at Song Qingrong, shrugged, and said, "What's the rush? We're getting a divorce tomorrow."
"divorce?"
Are you sure?
"Sure!"
I can say that with certainty.
There was never any love between us, at least not from her to me.
After hearing my words, Song Qingrong remained silent for a while before saying, "I'm too lazy to care about your affairs. The most important thing is that it's very important to you."
“I’ve received information that Xu Yan is the real young master of the Xu family; you’ve actually been mistaken.”
