As this had been the first time Yu Haiqiao and I had truly fought in the three years we’ve been married, naturally, in my perspective, it looked like Yu Haiqiao was only arguing one-sidedly. This b!tch usually put on a human-like face and would kill me with one sentence. He would have a chuckling and obstinate appearance and when he got angry, he would be like an elementary school student, ready to cut off his friendship. That day, after our fight, the guy spent the rest of his afternoon in his bedroom. When he came out of his room, his hair was a mess and upon seeing me binge-watching dramas in the living room, he stiffly spat out two words, “Get takeout.”
In order to show a contrast to Yu Haiqiao’s appearance, I acted very calm, “I’m going to my mom’s for dinner. I’ll be living at her place for a while.”
Yu Haiqiao scrunched his brows and ignored me.
The next day, he went back to continue his business trip whereas I stayed at my mother’s place for two days. When my mom asked me several times when Yu Haiqiao was coming back, I would give her an estimated date of when he’d return. I soon left my mom’s place and went back to the single apartment I lived in before, I hadn’t been to this place in a long time. There wasn’t much to do at home, leading me to spend a couple of hours sweeping the place at night. Fortunately, the place was small so cleaning it didn’t take much effort. After I had finished tidying up the place, I changed the bed sheets. After I had taken a bath, I laid on my bed in satisfaction.
I think people should have a house that belongs to themselves. Otherwise, after an argument, just seeing the other party within your line of sight would only make your blood boil. Perhaps your life may be shortened due to excessive anger. In order to maintain your health, I think everyone should have a house that belongs to themselves.
I stayed in my single apartment room happily for half a month. During that period, I even went out with Chen Xie twice for meals and brought her to the nail shop where I had gotten my nails done. We happily went window-shopping twice before sending the husband and wife pair Shu Qi and Yang Xiongwei off. When we sent them away, we earnestly pledged to them that we would definitely go to the class reunion held in the New Years.
Yang Xiongwei also casually mentioned that Yu Haiqiao must also come and I told him that I had divorced Yu Haiqiao. He was rendered stupefied for a long time before finally finding his voice, “Are you playing me again?”
I said, “Then we’re gonna divorce soon.”

The screen showed that Yu Haiqiao was currently typing and I continued to type as well.
–Also so that we can file the divorce…
Yu Haiqiao’s reply came, “I’m coming back tomorrow.”
I had also sent out the words I typed.
And in 5 minutes, Yu Haiqiao sent me a reply, “Ok”
**
When Yu Haiqiao returned on the weekend, he didn’t notify me. Instead, he went straight to my mom’s house for the meal and my mom had to call me angrily, “Shi Ran, don’t you know it’s time to eat. It’s already so late and you’re still out window-shopping with someone else. You only know how to go window shopping everyday. Just because you don’t want to eat doesn’t mean other people also don’t need to eat. Everyone’s waiting for you!”
At that time, I was thinking about what takeout I should get for the night. After getting my mom’s call, I hailed a cab to my mom’s home and found Yu Haiqiao already seated on the table together with my dad talking about international affairs. My mom even glared at me saying that I didn’t even act like I wanted to eat.
The three of them ate dinner happily whereas I sat on the side innocently and pitifully being reprimanded by my parents for being a no-good adult.
After the meal, my mother asked me to help wash the dishes and she used this time to earnestly ask me when I was going to have children. I immediately held up my hands in defeat, “I will I will I will but it isn’t a matter of want. I suspect I’m infertile.”
My mom gave me a big slap on the shoulder, “Nonsense!” She then scrunched her brows, “Should I take you to the hospital for a check-up next week?”
I washed the dishes while earnestly telling my mom, “By the way, I just remembered that I bought some movie tickets tonight to watch a movie. We might not make it if we stay any longer so Yu Haiqiao and I are leaving.” I flicked my hands and walked to the living room. Yu Haiqiao was sitting on the living room sofa peeling a tangerine while talking to my father. I waved my hand at him, “It’s time to go.”
He raised an eyelid at me and my mom came out of the kitchen wiping her hands, “You’re both going to the movies? Want to bring some tangerines home to eat? I specially picked these tangerines together with someone from their grove. They’re very sweet.” She said while going to get a plastic bag for us to put tangerines in.
I refused loudly, “Who wants to go watch a movie carrying a bag of tangerines? Do you think tangerines are hard to buy? I don’t want it. I don’t want it.”
Yu Haiqiao then slowly got up from the sofa, “There’s no need for that mom. I don’t think the cinemas allow us to bring outside food.”
**
Oddly enough, Yu Haiqiao had a high standing in our family. If I were the one to utter the words he said, my mom would have definitely rebuked me for being too lazy to carry them. In any case, having a car to put them in would’ve saved a great deal of effort. But since Yu Haiqiao was the one to say this, my mom only smiled and agreed in response, even seeing us off to the door.
I silently walked up to the place Yu Haiqiao had parked the car in together with him. He continued to peel a tangerine while walking and by the time we arrived where his car was, the skin of the tangerine had formed a flower in his palms. He took out the keys from his pocket and opened the door while using his other hand to give the tangerine to me. I accepted it with the intention of holding it for him but I couldn’t stop my habit, immediately stuffing it into my mouth. After I had recovered my senses, I silently pulled the car door open and sat inside.
Yu Haiqiao sat in the driver’s seat and buckled his safety belt, asking, “What movie are you watching?”
Seeing that Yu Haiqiao didn’t care for his tangerine, I continued to peel each segment of the tangerine and stuff it into my mouth, “There’s no movie. I lied to my mom.”
Yu Haiqiao started the engine and asked, “Where are we going then?”
Adopting this appearance, he looked a bit like a taxi driver so I answered like a customer, “Go to the place I lived by myself.”
