Bedroom, still arranged as when I left, with a layer of dust on every object.

What is Gui Yan Ye looking at?

I float over, and she is staring into the half-empty wardrobe, lost in thought.

Inside the wardrobe, only her neatly arranged clothes remain.

My clothes, I packed them all and took them with me.

In fact, everything about me that I could take from this house, related to me, I took it all away from her life.

...

I recall our last meeting.

I packed my luggage, and Gui Yan Ye uncommonly came back to retrieve something.

"Where are you going?"

She returned and put a few pieces of clothing in the suitcase, ready to leave.

"Bringing a few changes of clothes."

"Oh."

I visibly felt lost, but I had long grown accustomed to this scene.

Still, I couldn't suppress the sorrow. She didn't care about me at all. My packed suitcase was also placed in the wardrobe, and she didn't notice that I was leaving.

"When will you come back next?"

By the time I come back next, I won't be here anymore, not in this place, nor in this world.

Prior to this, the hospital had diagnosed my enlarged heart, a condition beyond control, and death could come at any moment.

She looked at me coldly.

"I think there's no need for me to come back here anymore."

I was stunned for a moment:...

Finally, I softly replied, "Oh."

She had already picked up her luggage and reached the doorway.

But she stood there for a while, not leaving, and I couldn't understand.

She took the initiative to speak, "When I came back this time, you didn't ask about Ito Makoto?"

Me:...

"There's nothing to ask. For me, whether I ask or not, it doesn't matter anymore."

She turned back, somewhat surprised.

"You're different this time."

In a rare moment, we locked eyes. Perhaps because I didn't keep mentioning Ito Makoto this time she came back, giving her ears a break, her gaze towards me softened, a rare occurrence.

I smiled gently, "Gui Yan Ye, I'm going on a trip, a very long one."

She was momentarily stunned.

"That's good. Going out for a walk and broadening your mindset is not a bad thing. I wish you a pleasant journey."

In this marriage, she didn't ask me where I was going, nor did she say a word about accompanying me. She simply straightforwardly wished me a "pleasant journey."

Normally, I would have felt very upset, but strangely, that day I accepted it calmly.

One hour after she left, I pressed the divorce agreement and my men's wedding ring down on the coffee table and locked the door as I left.

On the way back to the Lu family, I couldn't help but cry. The sounds of painful sobbing overflowed from my throat.

From childhood to adulthood, stubbornly sticking to my choices, after falling in love with Gui Yan Ye, I never thought that one day I would stop loving her, that I would give up.

Unfortunately, in the end, this marriage failed completely.
