“Ming Shen…” Lin Meizhi wanted to speak but tears streamed down her face first.
Wei Mingshen waved his hand and said in a low voice, "I'll take you back."
Lin Meizhi's eyes lit up with joy; this meant she could be alone with him.
She didn't even glance at Wei Mingyue before following Wei Mingshen outside.
Su Xueli gave Lin Meizhi a new bicycle as a gift, but she rode it away after the divorce, so Wei Mingshen had to ride his old bicycle to deliver it to her.
Lin Meizhi whispered, "Don't ride your bike, let's walk."
How romantic and ambiguous it is for two people to walk slowly in the dark... It's something to long for.
Wei Mingshen ignored her and pushed his bicycle toward the gate, leaving her no choice but to follow him.
As soon as he left the hospital, Wei Mingshen straddled the bicycle seat and said, "Get on."
Lin Meizhi shyly sat on the back of his bicycle, naturally wrapping her arms around his waist—a gesture they often made before.
Wei Mingshen offered no resistance or response, coldly mounting his bicycle and riding forward.
Lin Meizhi thought to herself: In their village, and given that he has just gotten divorced, of course he wouldn't dare to show me any affection.
She secretly hoped that once they left the village and reached the dark, deserted road, their story would begin...
Her heart started pounding, and her palms started sweating.
Finally, the car drove onto the main road. A gust of wind blew up, and the newly sprouted willow leaves on both sides of the road made a soft rustling sound, which made people feel itchy and soft.
Sure enough, Wei Mingshen spoke up: "Meizhi, your arrival today is too abrupt."
Lin Meizhi's heart, which had just begun to rise, plummeted. After a long pause, she asked, "Don't you want to see me?"
Wei Mingshen did not answer her question: "You know the situation at my family right now. My parents are almost driven crazy by me. I'm just a punching bag at home now. Your presence will only stir up their bad mood."
Lin Meizhi said awkwardly, "I understand, I won't come again."
Then, adopting a pitiful tone, she said, "I thought you didn't want to see me. I had a big fight with my dad because of you, and in a fit of anger, I ran out to find you. I didn't think much of it..."
She started sobbing as she spoke.
Wei Mingshen stopped the car, and Lin Meizhi got out of the back seat. The two looked at each other in the darkness.
He said, "Meizhi, I know Mingyue told you about my divorce, but my divorce from Su Xueli has nothing to do with you, so don't overthink it."
Li Meizhi's eyes widened, and she asked in a hoarse voice, "What?"
Wei Mingshen said, "She was the one who proposed the divorce."
Lin Meizhi heard the sound of her own heart breaking. "She brought it up, not you? Not you who brought it up for me?"
Wei Mingshen replied, "No."
Lin Meizhi, suppressing her heartache, asked, "If she hadn't brought it up, wouldn't you have divorced her?"
Wei Mingshen said, "Maybe."
Lin Meizhi dropped the pretense and hissed, "What about me? Where do you put me? You promised me you didn't like her at all, that you'd come back to me sooner or later, and that I could wait for you in peace... Hah, so I should thank Su Xueli. If she hadn't taken the initiative to divorce you, I would never have gotten together with her in this lifetime, sob sob sob..."
She squatted down on the ground, crying.
Wei Mingshen looked at her and sighed helplessly, then quietly watched her cry.
Only after she had cried enough did Wei Mingshen say softly, "Don't cry, come on, I'll take you to the street to get something to eat."
Upon hearing this, Lin Meizhi burst into tears again and threw a tantrum, saying, "I won't eat, I won't eat! I insist on staying with you today. I'm not going home. Take me somewhere."
Wei Mingshen said casually, "Where can I take you? After we eat, I'll take you home. You have to go to work tomorrow."
Hearing his emotionless voice, Lin Meizhi's tears dried up. Still unwilling to accept it, she looked up at him and asked, "Ming Shen, do you still love me?"
