It was a year later when I saw Lu Huaiyuan again, we were filming in a residential building in a city village.
It was a scorching hot summer day, with the temperature reaching 39 degrees Celsius, and our crew members were all hiding in the shade to touch up their makeup.
What felt strange was that there was a person sitting in a wheelchair, completely exposed to the direct sunlight.
"Will he get heatstroke?" a colleague questioned.
"Should we bring him inside?" another colleague stood up.
At that moment, an auntie came over fanning herself, and the colleague who stood up grabbed her and asked:
"What's the deal with the person in the wheelchair? Is no one taking care of him?"
"Oh, you mean that man, he was paralyzed from the waist down in a car accident. His wife finds him useless. Whenever she brings a man home, she will push him downstairs to sunbathe."
"Why doesn't she divorce such a woman!"
"Divorce? This man has no parents, his wife is his only family. If they divorce, he probably won't even have anyone to feed him."
"His wife is so young, how can she stay widowed? It's fortunate that he received a good amount of compensation from the car accident, otherwise, even if this man refuses to divorce, the woman would have left long ago."
The auntie added, "Don't feel sorry for this man. He rejected his hardworking girlfriend in the past, cheated on her with his current wife. I say it's all karma."
At that moment, a heavily made-up woman came down the stairs.
Her clothes were a bit disheveled, her face flushed. Behind her was a burly man carrying a suitcase.
Despite the changes in her appearance, I still recognized her as Bai Lulu.
"Lu, whether you want to divorce me or not, I've had enough of you. I'm leaving. Spending my life with a cripple like you has ruined me!"
Lu Huaiyuan finally lifted his sunburnt face, trying to move the wheelchair with his hand.
But it was evident that his recovery was poor, the wheelchair didn't budge.
Meanwhile, Bai Lulu had already run off with the burly man.
A colleague remarked, "That man looks familiar, is he from the neighboring crew's production team?"
I thought to myself, Bai Lulu was smarter than me.
Unlike me, in my past life, I loved this man so devotedly, nursed him back to health, and accompanied him to become a movie emperor.
But Bai Lulu wanted to take a chance on her own life.
Unfortunately, fate had its cycles, and she couldn't wait for her own day to come.
