When the flood hit, my husband left me behind and fled with an old photo of his sweetheart. The second before I was choked by the water, I remembered that he had a tattoo of the letters "ZC" on his neck.

He said he would be loyal to me for life. Coincidentally, his Sweetheart's name was "Zendaya Corliss".

I closed my eyes and smiled as I tore up his medical report.

——

"Zevanya, you're awake!” I opened my eyes and my mother looked at me with concern.

I forced myself to sit up and what happened just now came to my mind again.

The surging sea water, the suffocating nasal cavity... I actually survived!

After crying while hugging my mother, I wiped my tears and asked. "Where's Christian?"

My mother's face froze, "He's in the next ward."

After hearing this, I forced myself to get up and look for him, but was stopped by my mother.

"You just woke up and your body needs to recover..."

But I caught a flash of evasion in my mother's eyes.

Thinking about Christian's behavior just now, my eyes darkened and I went to the next ward. But as soon as I entered the door, the dazzling picture still hurt my eyes.

I saw Zendaya crying in Christian's arms, Christian rubbed her head and whispered to comfort her. "I'm fine, don't cry..."

Today was the Lantern Festival, Christian and I were preparing to eat in the restaurant. In the past, he would eat here with Zendaya. So after being with me, he would continue this habit.

But when the flood rushed into the restaurant, Christian reacted quickly. He took Zendaya's photo and ran away, as if he was completely forgetting that I had my period.

He was not injured and he didn't even need to be hospitalized. The reason why he was still lying on the bed was nothing more than wanting Zendaya to snuggle in his arms.

Zendaya saw me and hurriedly got up from him, but Christian pressed her to his chest and glanced at me lightly. He asked, "She just comforted me, you won't mind, right?"

I walked to him with my fingers clenched and put the wet divorce agreement in front of him. "Let's get a divorce."

Christian was stunned for a moment, then stood up angrily and Zendaya hurriedly supported him.

He asked in disbelief, "Because I didn't save you, you want to divorce me? You are not dead and you are standing in front of me now? Why are you angry?"

I ignored him, stared at the tattoo on his neck and added.

"By the way, Cathy is dead."

When I left the ward, I heard Zendaya crying from inside.

"What? Cathy is dead, we raised it together before..."

Christian on the side had an ugly face, but just hugged her tightly.

I smiled a little sadly. It was just as I thought.

We had a kitten at home, which he brought back and he said he liked it very much. So, even if I was allergic to cat hair, I silently endured it.

Before, I always told him to close the door before going to bed, but he always left the door a crack, letting the cat scratch me while I was sleeping until I bled. He always looked at my wounds and didn't care.

"It's just a cat, it scratches me, just apply some medicine on yourself."

I didn't know why he was always so tolerant of this cat before. Now I understood everything.

This was a cat, just a proof that Christian silently favored Zendaya. Now, because of the flood, the kitten also lost its life. But compared to me, the disappearance of the kitten made him more painful.

I went home with my mother, took a shower and curled myself up in the quilt in a daze.

When I first met him, I was being entangled by my ex, so I was scared every day. In order to protect me, Christian once blocked my ex-boyfriend and asked me to move in with him to give me enough protection.

He hugged me tightly and the hot air he exhaled sprayed on my hot cheeks. He said, "Don't be afraid, Zevanya, I won't let you suffer any injustice."

But at that time, he acted like a good son-in-law in order to take care of his white moonlight mother who was hospitalized after a car accident. But he downplayed all of this as just helping me.

Clicking on the circle of friends, I saw Christian posted a message.

[I didn't expect that this flood would bring her back to me. This is a natural disaster, but also a reward from God...]

Only then did I know that his white moonlight Zendaya, who had not appeared for a long time, finally came to the hospital to find him because of the flood, fearing that something might happen to him.

The two broke the previous barriers and misunderstandings, hugged each other and cried frankly. What a beautiful picture. So, I decided not to ruin it.

I booked a flight for seven days later and decided to leave here.

For him, I gave up the dream I had pursued for half my life. But now I wanted to live for myself.

Three days later, Christian called me. I just knew that he had been discharged from the hospital a long time ago, but I just knew that I was not at home. On the other end of the phone, he sounded very impatient.

"Why haven't you come back yet? Have you become stupid because of the flood?"

I trembled my lips and subconsciously clenched the phone, "I won't go back."

Hearing this, the person on the other end of the phone was stunned, as if he just realized something and pulled up the corner of his mouth to sneer.

"Zevanya, you are not really going to divorce me, are you? Look in the mirror, you can find a husband like me like this, so you should be content, why are you still throwing a tantrum?"

After saying that, his tone softened a lot. "Come back and cook, I want to eat the braised pork ribs you made."

I hung up the phone coldly and turned around to take the key. Because of the flood, our house was also affected, but fortunately it could still be lived in.

On the way, I thought of the time when we just got together. In order to celebrate his birthday, I booked a plane ticket to find him without telling my parents and waited downstairs of his house with my luggage.

The moment he found me, he ran towards me with trembling breath, hugged me tightly and asked me if I was cold and how long I had been waiting here.

At that time, I felt that I was the happiest person in the world. Later I found out that he had just celebrated his 18th birthday at home with his white moonlight. A few minutes before he hugged me, he had just sent his white moonlight home.

When we got home, I made the braised pork ribs that Christian wanted to eat. There were bursts of fragrance coming from the kitchen and Christian was in a good mood and hugged me from behind.

"Wife, were you scared when the flood just now? How is your feeling? Are you okay?"

I suddenly found it very funny. I was discharged from the hospital and he remembered to take care of me.

That's right, during that time, he was with Zendaya.

Thinking of this, I put the ribs on the plate and turned my head to stare at the tattoo on his neck.

"ZC, what does it mean?" I asked him this before, but now I want to ask it again.

Christian's eyes suddenly became a little evasive and then he looked away and took the ribs from my hand.

"It's loyalty, nothing else."

I looked at his back as he left and secretly pulled the corners of my mouth. He was still lying until now. Did he really think I was a fool? Zendaya Corliss, ZC.

Indeed, his loyalty was only to Zendaya.

At the table, he ate with relish, completely ignoring my gray face. After eating, he wiped the corners of his mouth, threw the leftovers on the table.

Then he said to me. "By the way, you will accompany me to see Zee later. She has depression. Because of the flood I encountered, she lives in fear every day, fearing that something will happen to me again. You will accompany her to comfort her then."

I almost laughed when I heard it. "Zee?"

"When you call me Zee, are you thinking of me or her?"

He loves to call me "Zee" when we were in love. Every time I heard it, I always responded with a coquettish voice with a smile. But now I knew that what he had been talking about was his white moonlight "Zevanya" from beginning to end. And I, who was treated as a substitute, was still smiling and immersed in this false sweetness.

His face looked a little ugly, "What are you doing?"

I sneered and asked him, "Is it fun to deceive yourself?"

"Shut up!" He was angered by my words and shouted, "This has nothing to do with you!"

I looked at his figure about to leave and asked lightly, "Are you going to her house?"

"Just to comfort her, nothing else, don't worry." He replied casually.

After saying that, as if afraid that I would think too much, he pulled me to open the door.

"You supervise from the side, is it okay?" he said.

When we arrived at her door, it was Zendaya who opened the door for us. When she saw me, her eyes were stunned for a moment.

"Zevanya, you are here too?" She greeted us.

She held my hand in pretended surprise and hugged me without saying anything. I pushed her away.

Christian immediately frowned and said, "What are you doing? Zevanya kindly greeted you and you have this attitude?"

I ignored him and looked at the photo frame placed at the entrance. It was a photo of her and Christian at the top of the mountain.

Zendaya came over immediately and carefully protected the photo frame in her arms, looking at me pitifully, "At that time, he accompanied me to climb the mountain to relieve my depression. Zevanya, you won't be angry, right?"

I pursed my lips. So, this what happened a while ago.

At that time, I was in the early stage of my work and was under great pressure. But at this time, he failed in his business and owed a lot of debts. His family was so poor that they could hardly make ends meet. At such a difficult time for him, he lied to me that he was going back to see relatives. But in fact he was going to climb the mountain with Zendaya, leaving me alone to clean up his mess.

They rented a car and drove to Tibet. He spent tens of thousands of dollars to buy Zendaya a down jacket and all kinds of facilities were top-of-the-line, which used up our common treasury. And I didn't spend more than 100 dollars on my body at that time.

In order to pay off his debts, I could only work harder and drink until I had gastric bleeding and went to the hospital. At that time, I really thought I was about to die. But thinking of him, I forced myself to leave the hospital and continue to be busy with socializing.

Christian looked at the photo frame with a complicated look. "Zee's illness is more important and we are getting better now."

Yes, the company won the bid and we made a lot of money at once and we turned over completely. I accompanied him from nothing to something and helped him achieve his ambition. But when the flood came, he was the one who left me without hesitation. Under their scrutiny, I just smiled as if nothing had happened.

"It's okay, since it's important to you, just keep it." I said lightly.

Seeing that I didn't react, Christian frowned and pulled my arm. "I warn you, don't think about playing tricks on Zendaya."

I chuckled and looked at him, "What are you talking about, how could it be."
