Seeing Sang Tianen's incredulous look, Yan Zheng's eyes flickered, and he raised his chin and said, "I say you and Xu Qingyue are no different. You are both equally selfish."
"selfishness?"
Sang Tianen repeated these four words several times like a tape recorder, and finally turned to look at Yan Zheng, "Is this how you see me in your heart?"
"……yes."
"Okay." Sang Tianen nodded. "If you have anything else to say, tell me everything today. I also want to see what kind of image I have in your heart."
Yan Zheng turned his face away: "I don't want to discuss this."
"But I want to discuss it." Sang Tianen said with a half-smile, "I just want to know, if I'm so unbearable, why did you marry me?"
Yan Zheng turned around, his eyes, which used to be filled with tenderness, now calm and still: "It's because of the child."
"If it weren't for the child, I wouldn't want to marry you."
"A woman like you is fine as a girlfriend. You're good-looking and generous, but being a wife is unbearable."
No matter whether Yan Zheng was speaking in anger or sincerely, Sang Tianen found it unbearable. These words were like blunt knives cutting her heart, making her feel extremely painful.
She gritted her teeth and said, "That really wronged you."
"It's not that I feel wronged. Apart from your bad personality, you are really good in other aspects and you take good care of me."
"So, you're staying with me now because of the child?"
"...Yes." Yan Zheng's voice sounded a little trembling, "I like children very much."
"What about these things?" Sang Tianen pointed at the candy boxes and wedding candies and cakes on the floor. "Since you don't like me, why did you make these? Why don't you just buy some?"
"I'd be like that if I married any woman."
Sang Tianen laughed. She looked at Yan Zheng deeply and said, "Yan Zheng, you know me. If you are just saying these things because you are angry, I can just ignore them."
"But if these are your true words, you should know the consequences."
"I'm thirty-one this year, and I've been through a lot. I don't want to go through this again." Yan Zheng stepped forward. "You meet my requirements for a marriage partner. I originally thought I could keep pretending and grow old with you."
"But through the Xu Qingyue incident, I realized that I actually don't understand you at all. There is no trust between us at all."
"Whenever there's a little thing, we argue. You never give in to me and just tell me a bunch of your own twisted theories."
"You don't know how to get along with others. Look at your relationship with your family. Even your relatives hate you. Do you really think there's nothing wrong with you?"
Sang Tianen would never have thought that Yan Zheng would use this incident to criticize her. He was indeed her bedmate, he knew where it hurt and stabbed her with a knife, precisely and ruthlessly.
"Let's break up, Tianen." Yan Zheng said slowly, "The two of us are simply not suitable to be together."
"Just because I asked someone to look up your affairs and didn't tell you, you think we're not suitable and want to break up with me?"
"The fundamental reason is that we are not suitable for each other." Yan Zheng turned around, "I'm sorry, I was the one who pursued you in the beginning, but now I'm the one who said it's over."
Sang Tianen raised his head and laughed silently twice. How could such a ridiculous thing happen in this world?
She was happily preparing to get married one second, and was about to break up the next. There was no other unlucky person like her in the entire Zhaoyang City.
"Yan Zheng." Sang Tianen took a deep breath, "You really...really..." can't stand me?
Sang Tianen wanted to appear calm and wise, but it was his first time falling in love and his first time breaking up, so his emotions outweighed his rationality and he choked up in the middle of his words.
"I'll tell my parents, and I'll leave it to you to deal with my uncle and aunt. Just say that I want to break up."
"So, you've already made up your mind, and nothing I say or do can change your decision, right?"
"Yes." Yan Zheng gave an affirmative answer.
"Okay." Sang Tianen smiled, his eyes full of mockery, "Since this is what you want, I'll grant you your wish."
After saying that, she rushed to the door, grabbed her purse and car keys, and at the moment of leaving, she paused and said, "Text me when you move out."
After leaving home, Sang Tianen drove around Zhaoyang City in a daze, recalling every word Yan Zheng said to her over and over again in her mind.
Every time she recalled the past, she felt a sharp pain in her chest, especially when she knew that Yan Zheng had been pretending to love her, the pain became even more unbearable.
She took out her cell phone and called Shi Zhou.
Since her divorce, Shi Zhou has become addicted to fishing. She goes deep into the mountains and forests on her days off. Today, she posted a photo of herself fishing at night on her Moments.
Sang Tianen now wants to find a quiet place, and night fishing is a good choice.
After Shi Zhou gave her a location, she turned the steering wheel and drove towards Siyue Lake. On the way, she found a 24-hour convenience store and bought some beer and food.
After spending nearly two hours, Sang Tianen finally found Shi Zhou, who had gained weight, by a deserted pond.
The other person was wearing heavy clothes, leaning back in a chair, listening to a ghost story.
"This place is really easy to find." Sang Tianen sat down on the ground, took out a bottle of beer from his plastic bag and started drinking.
Shi Zhou saw her frustrated look and asked, "Why do you have time to come to my place?"
"I broke up with my boyfriend." Sang Tianen swallowed the bitter beer, "I want to find a quiet place."
Shi Zhou lost his composure, his eyes widened as he said, "No way, aren't you getting married?"
"Yeah, who the hell could have imagined that this world is so absurd." Sang Tianen laughed self-deprecatingly. "That cliff-like breakup thing that's been trending online lately is how I ended up breaking up."
"Why? Why did I break up with you?" Shi Zhou asked in confusion, "You didn't cheat on me, did you?"
Sang Tianen pointed at himself and said, "Do you think I look like that kind of person?"
"Why is that?" Shi Zhou pondered. "You two are about to get married. Unless it's a matter of principle, most people wouldn't choose to break up."
"He said he didn't understand me, that I lied to him, that I was difficult to get along with, that I didn't give in to him, that I was worthless in his eyes." Sang Tianen took another swig of beer, "He said if it weren't for the child, he would have broken up with me long ago."
"The same things that praised me before, they are now criticizing me."
Shi Zhou showed a look of understanding and took out a can of beer to drink. "Men are like this. When they love you, they want to praise you to the sky. But when they don't love you anymore, you are not even worth a drop of shit in their eyes."
