"Teacher Lin Chu, this is your cell phone."
Lin Chu smiled politely as she took the phone and unlocked it with her facial recognition.
Over the past decade or so, he has accumulated countless memories of "love" and "family".
There are so many that the memory of a single phone simply cannot hold them all.
If it weren't for the task suddenly issued by the system, he would never have thought of erasing all these memories.
Should he completely erase all memories of himself and Su Lin?
The coldness in his heart and the complete letting go did indeed give him the answer.
It seems to be something a divorced person should do: pursue a better version of themselves and abandon illusions about the past.
While he was silently browsing the videos and photos on his phone.
I suddenly came across a video of myself celebrating Su Lin's birthday, and I was slightly taken aback.
"This is……"
Subconsciously, Lin Chu clicked on the video, and her memory went back to a few years ago.
Watching himself comically dressed in a teddy bear costume in the video, like a clown, giving Su Lin a birthday surprise, and confessing his true feelings to her again in front of all of Su Lin's friends.
Lin Chu subconsciously gave a wry smile.
It turns out that the signs of "not loving her anymore" had already appeared on Su Lin several years ago, but she was blinded by love and failed to notice them.
He has always been the only one working hard to maintain this family and this relationship.
One-sided effort is too exhausting.
In the video, Su Lin, surrounded by her friends, put on a stiff smile and made a perfunctory attempt to be friendly.
She seemed to really enjoy the birthday surprise.
But Lin Chu remembered it clearly.
After the party ended and her friends left, Su Lin was furious about the birthday surprise he had prepared.
They belittled him to the point of being worthless.
All of this was captured by a camera prepared to record the surprise.
Lin Chu kept it on her phone.
If we're talking about unforgettable memories, this is definitely one I'll never forget.
He once thought this was the sweetness of marriage, his unconditional love for Su Lin, and something worth commemorating.
But now...
After a moment's thought, Lin Chu had already made her decision.
The selected birthday video was then sent to the production team.
It's going to be broadcast to the entire online audience.
He no longer wanted to cover for Su Lin and protect her image as he had in his previous life.
Since it was Su Lin who suggested ruining his reputation in front of the camera.
Why not let the million viewers in the live stream see who is truly the one who is unconditionally loved!
After the guests sent all the videos and photos they had selected and prepared to the program's account, the young female director received a notification and came out with a smile.
"We have now received videos and pictures from the five guest teachers."
"In a little while, we will be showing your stories on this big screen in front of you, so that everyone can hear them."
As he spoke, the director looked hesitantly at the empty seat next to the dining table.
He opened his mouth with an awkward laugh.
"Teacher Su Lin went to the restroom and hasn't come back yet."
"Then let's wait a little longer."
"We'll move on to the next item once Ms. Su Lin returns."
Hearing the director's words, the guests naturally had no objections.
The dinner they had ordered was ready and served, and the group of them naturally ate heartily.
Meanwhile, in the restaurant's restrooms.
Su Lin sat on the toilet in the stall, talking on the phone while puffing out smoke from a cigarette in her hand.
He took a deep drag of his cigarette with a look of anxiety, then exhaled through gritted teeth.
He was angrily explaining something to the person on the other end of the phone.
"Are you all useless? Can't you even hold out for this little while?"
"Let me tell you, before I get a divorce, if you slip up and get caught red-handed, don't blame me for not cleaning up your mess!"
"How could I have a brother like you?!"
"Haven't I given you and Mom and Dad enough money over the years? I need to think about myself too!"
As they were talking, something the other person said suddenly seemed to sting her.
Su Lin bristled like a mouse whose tail had been stepped on.
"What do you mean by saying I spent the most?!"
"I'm the one who married him, so that's my money. What business is it of yours how much I spend?!"
"Let me tell you, don't threaten me with things like dragging me down. I don't owe you anything!"
"If you're really in a hurry, why don't you think of a way to make Lin Chu willingly feel indebted to me and obediently decide to leave with nothing and give me all her money?!"
Speaking of this topic, Su Lin also had a headache.
He could only keep taking deep drags on cigarettes to calm himself down, but he was still anxiously stomping his feet, completely out of control.
"Everything was planned perfectly and was going smoothly."
"I don't know what happened, but after only one day of filming, all the guests acted like they had seen a plague god when they saw me, and they all ran to stand on Lin Chu's side."
"Those idiots online, why are there fewer and fewer people speaking up for me?"
"I'm a housewife, don't they understand the principle of women helping women? They're even sympathizing with Lin Chu!"
"I gave birth to Lin Chu's child and took care of this family. I'm the one who has given the most!"
Just then, there was a knock on the bathroom door.
Knock knock knock!
The next second, Huang Yiyi's gentle voice came from the doorway.
"Su Lin, are you inside?"
"I'm here to tell you that dinner is all served, so you can start eating now."
As she spoke, Huang Yiyi paused for a moment, then continued with her patient advice.
"Don't misunderstand, no one meant to criticize you. They're just a bit too tired today and didn't speak tactfully."
"Lin Chu is very considerate of your feelings; he cares about you a lot."
"Don't be too sad..."
Hearing Huang Yiyi's voice at the door, Su Lin subconsciously stubbed out her cigarette and threw it into the toilet.
He then hurriedly spoke up in response towards the door.
"Okay, I understand. I'll pack up and head back now."
After dismissing Huang Yiyi's urging and reminders, Su Lin frowned again and gave instructions over the phone.
"Alright, stop wasting my breath and stop rushing me!"
"If you want me to get a successful divorce and take all the assets, hurry up and find more online trolls to stir up trouble for me and to hurl insults at Lin Chu in the live stream!"
"If we don't get all the assets, and we can't cover the losses, we're all doomed!"
"Get it done right away!"
With that, Su Lin flushed the toilet, hung up the phone, and hid herself back in her bag.
There are regulations during the recording of the program.
During the day, everyone must hand over their cell phones in front of the camera; using cell phones in front of the camera is not allowed.
However, since Su Lin had her own spare phone hidden on her person, no crew member would come up to search her or forcibly take it away; it was practically an unspoken rule.
When Su Lin finished tidying herself up and pushed open the bathroom door to leave...
Suddenly, Huang Yiyi, who was waiting at the door, startled him.
"Yiyi?!"
"Why are you still waiting for me here?"
Huang Yiyi finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Su Lin come out.
He immediately smiled and stepped forward to take her arm.
"It's okay, I'll wait for you to come out so we can go back together."
"Everyone is a little worried about you, especially Lin Chu. They're particularly concerned that you might overthink things."
"So I...sniff..."
As they were talking, Huang Yiyi suddenly wrinkled her nose, looking somewhat puzzled.
"Su Lin, there's a strong smell of smoke."
Does anyone smoke in the restroom?
