I finished watching the video and suddenly felt a surge of nausea, feeling very uncomfortable.

I ran to the bathroom and threw up.

In a trance, I remembered that four years ago, I proposed to Xu Qin.

I thought he would refuse, but he agreed.

It wasn't until recently that I recalled that two days before I proposed to him, I heard that Zhao Shanshan had a new boyfriend and they were about to get engaged, but they broke up six months later unexpectedly.

I groped my way out of the bathroom.

Despite being extremely tired, I couldn't fall asleep at night and tossed and turned.

I didn't turn on the lights and sat alone by the bay window, looking at the neon lights outside and listening to the ticking sound of the clock hands.

Xu Qin didn't come back all night.

It wasn't the first time either; in the past, I thought he was a workaholic and went to bed early.

As the fish-belly white light gradually appeared on the horizon, I heard the sound of the door opening.

When Xu Qin came in and saw that I wasn't sleeping, he looked surprised.

I turned around and looked at him.

He didn't say anything, his expression was very indifferent.

If it hadn't been for the intense passion I saw when he kissed her, I would have thought he was always like this.

He glanced at me, and as he turned around, I noticed several strawberry-colored bite marks on his neck.

I slowly stood up. Maybe it was the snow outside that made me feel cold, but my mood became strangely calm, with just a slight tingling sensation from the threads pulling at my heart:

"Xu Qin."

He stopped in his tracks.

I slightly moved my numb shoulder, and my tone contained a sigh that even I hadn't noticed: "Let's get a divorce."

When I spoke, Xu Qin didn't react.

I don't know if he heard it or not.

As composed as ever, he calmly changed his clothes. It wasn't until he reached the entrance of the room that he suddenly stopped in his tracks, paused for a moment, as if he had misheard:

"What did you say?"

He was still tying his tie, and when he turned around to look at me, I stared out the window in silence for a moment. Then, I took off the wedding ring from my right hand and threw it on the table: "Did you hear me clearly?"

The diamond ring sparkled with a dazzling and beautiful light.

Just like a dream.

In all these years of marriage, I had hardly ever taken it off.

But Xu Qin had never worn it.

And it wasn't just the ring.

Everything precious to me, he had never cherished.

With the crisp sound of the diamond ring, Xu Qin's eyes finally showed a slight ripple.

But it disappeared in an instant.

He finished tying his tie and furrowed his brows slightly: "Don't act childish."

"I have a lot of work today, so I'm going to the company first."

He walked away, pushing the door.

It was only then that I felt a hint of fatigue, and I turned around and fell onto the bed.

The blanket untouched by anyone all night was permeated with a bone-chilling coldness, and even when I covered myself with it, I didn't feel warm for a while.

Xu Qin, oh, Xu Qin.

I smiled and shook my head.

In the end, was it me who stayed in place, or did he forget to move forward?

Did he forget that I am no longer young?

And I no longer have the courage and patience to chase after him and love him at all costs.
