Chapter 1

Gu Yuan returned to China when Chi Yu and I loved each other the most.

She was just three months pregnant, a small ball, nestled in my arms, and pulled my hand onto her belly, gently comforting her.

"Ali, don't worry, our family of three will never separate."

This kind of lie is finally broken.

That day, I accompanied her up the rooftop and advised Gu Yuan to come down.

But I watched them tightly embrace and kiss each other with my own eyes.

"Stray birds yearn for the old forest, pond fish yearn for the deep abyss of the past"

I should have understood long ago.

Later, she knelt on the ground and begged me not to leave.

I didn't say a word, just presented the already formed fetal ultrasound image in front of her, but she went completely crazy.

Chi Yu said she's going to have a party tonight and asked me to eat first without waiting for her.

I looked at the screenshot of my friend's WeChat Moments and felt as if I was about to bleed.

In the photo, two extremely beautiful hands are interlocked with ten fingers.

The woman's hand is white jade soft and smooth like sheep fat. The wedding ring on her ring finger is gone, replaced by a faint white mark.

I dialed her phone and it rang for a while before being answered.

What's wrong, Ali

Chi Yu's voice was very gentle, without any flaws.

I took a deep breath to suppress the trembling voice.

Where are you

There was a clear moment of silence on the other end of the phone.

[I'm having a party with sisters. I'll go back to accompany you as soon as it's over, OK?]

This is the first time in so long that she has deceived me, because of Gu Yuan.

Chi Yu, when lying, are you thinking about guilt towards me or regret not being able to continue accompanying him.

I have liked her for a whole 10 years, and I don't even have the courage to expose this lie for a moment.

Just sitting quietly on the sofa, looking at the wedding photos hanging on the wall.

In the photo, I smiled very contentedly, holding her as if I had the whole world.

The candlelight sways, creating a romantic and melancholic atmosphere.

Today is the anniversary of our 3rd wedding anniversary.

A candlelight dinner prepared early has now become a huge joke.

Why is it today?

I don't know how long it took, but even the vehicles on the road gradually became sparse.

The sound of opening the door rang out, and footsteps that were so familiar that they could no longer be heard.

[Ali, I'm sorry.]

Chi Yu threw himself into my arms, holding me tightly.

I couldn't help feeling nauseous at the thought that these hands were just holding onto Gu Yuan.

Before she could push her away, she rushed into the bathroom.

It's a pregnancy reaction.

I am so heartbroken that I cannot breathe. Even if I know she is with Gu Yuan, or if I know she can't forget him, I still can't do anything.

I looked up at myself in the mirror, my face dark and gloomy.

A light pink strawberry mark appeared dramatically on Chi Yu's neck.

She only realized when I stared at her.

"Ali, it's not what you think."

"This is really just a bug bite, believe me."

She looked very flustered, worried about overflowing.

I didn't speak and shifted my gaze.

Seeing that I didn't believe it, she didn't know where to come from and magically pulled out a pair of cufflinks.

The gemstone shimmered with a delicate luster under the light, very beautiful.

Happy 3rd Anniversary

I let her bring it to me.

Originally, she didn't forget, but chose Gu Yuan, who needed her even more.

You went to find him

I calmly and confidently spoke the truth.

Chi Yu's originally proud expression instantly disintegrated.

[Sorry...]

She held my hand, like a deflated ball.

[Gu Yuan's wife cheated and occasionally found someone to beat him. It was really difficult for her to come back alone with the child. I also saw that he was pitiful, but I was afraid that you would get emotional, so...]

I took her words.

[Just keep it from me, keep your fingers close to him. As long as I don't know, it's okay.]

I looked up at her intently, unwilling to miss any trace of her expression.

I am also afraid that she will say any words that do not love me.

"No, it's not like that, Ali."

Perhaps it is because the explanation is pale, or perhaps it is because there is no reason to continue deceiving.

Just hold me, thinking that this will smooth everything out.

Chapter 2

I didn't argue with her, just when she didn't exist.

She lifted the blanket, her soft body pressed against it, took my hand, and placed it on her slightly raised belly.

"Ali, you and your child are the most important people to me in this world. Our family of three will never be separated, okay?"

From the day we got married, you have been the only one in my heart

My tense body relaxed.

After so many years of love and having an extra child, it's impossible to just say goodbye.

With the repeated guarantees from Chi Yu, we reconciled.

But I didn't expect to meet Gu Yuan so quickly.

After she became pregnant, I switched to online work because I was afraid that something might happen to the two of them. I had plenty of time.

Too idle, I'm going to the mall to show my baby clothes.

Coincidentally, I saw the "family" that I shouldn't have seen the most.

Chi Yu was holding the children, while Gu Yuan followed behind them with a gentle expression on his face.

This happy scene stings my eyes.

The child was amused by her and burst into laughter.

The shopping bag slipped from my hand and the children's clothes scattered all over the ground.

The air is still between three people.

[Ali...]

Auntie, why don't you leave

Gu Yuan strode to pick up the child from her arms.

[Sorry, I'm really sorry, Banquet Ceremony. I just returned to my home country and I'm not familiar with anything, so I had to ask Xiao Yu to accompany me and buy something for my child.]

He quickly picked up everything on the ground and put it in my hand.

The smile on my face is always so appropriate that I can't find a single mistake.

Do you have a baby now

After seeing clearly what was inside the bag, the perfect expression finally cracked a crack.

Chi Yu pushed him aside and ran towards me.

"Ali, why didn't you tell me? I've been wanting to buy clothes for the baby with you for a long time."

This is what you mean by an important customer

What I said was completely impolite, and Chi Yu's face was full of embarrassment.

"Sorry, Ali, I shouldn't have lied to you, but I'm really just afraid you might think too much."

Chi Yu held my hand, pitiful and delicate.

Seeing that the situation was not going right, Gu Yuan quickly spoke up.

"You really misunderstood, Banquet Ceremony. If you want to blame me, blame me. I'm sorry, you must not blame Xiaoyu."

If you argue because of me, I will be very upset

He said something that sounded almost perfect, but the tea flavor was about to overflow.

The child broke free from his embrace and climbed onto Chi Yu's leg.

[Auntie, hug...]

The sound of milk and milk is irresistible.

Gu Yuan did not pull away the child, as if waiting for Chi Yu to make a choice.

She completely skipped the child and took my hand.

Do you have anything else to buy? I'll accompany you

Gu Yuan suddenly realized and pulled the child over.

Yang Yang, be obedient

Then he looked at us with a wounded expression on his face.

[Then you guys go ahead and get busy first. It's okay for me to be alone.]

But the next second, the child sat on the ground, crying loudly.

Chi Yu held my hand tightly.

If you want to go, go ahead

I withdrew my hand without leaving a trace.

She pulled me around and made a great decision.

Let's go

Along the way, she was absent-minded, as if losing her soul.

Not long after returning home, her phone rang.

[Yanyan and her husband have some problems, I have to go over and accompany her now.]

Having time with Gu Yuan and his son, staying with me caused problems.

The most clear thing is that I have spent so long deceiving myself.

Chapter 3

Gu Yuan never gives up easily what he wants.

I heard that his wife, who had committed domestic violence, was brought back and everyone knew about it.

The male god, who used to be high and mighty, has now fallen to this extent, which is inevitably regrettable.

Chi Yu's return is getting later and later.

As she said, she won't hide or deceive me anymore.

She hired the best lawyer for Gu Yuan and snatched custody of the child from her ex-wife.

[Just to repay his mother's kindness.]

From the moment she said this sentence, I knew that I would never repay it again.

Grace has always been the most difficult to repay.

But Chi Yu is too straightforward and wants to prove it to me too much.

As long as you are with Gu Yuan, you will send me a video.

So even if things are complicated, life can still be considered peaceful.

Until Gu Yuan came to his door late at night.

The bruises on his body, big and small, tell the story of his tragic experience.

As soon as Chi Yu opened the door, he hugged her into his arms.

Xiao Yu

Chi Yu's eyes were red as he hugged him tightly, not even hearing me speak.

She held him and sat on the second bed, patting Gu Yuan with tenderness and love in her movements.

But as soon as she left, Gu Yuan would grab hold of her clothes and bury his head in her arms.

[Please, don't leave me, Xiaoyu, please, don't leave, I can't do without you...]

Even I am about to be moved, let alone Chi Yu.

The expression on her face was uncontrollably angry, and when she looked at him, it softened again.

Do you plan to keep holding him like this

Gu Yuan carefully glanced at me and then withdrew his head into Chi Yu's arms.

Chi Yu's face was full of fatigue.

"Ali, he's already like this. Why are you still so aggressive? Let's talk about it tomorrow, okay?"

I didn't expect one day to hear me being aggressive from her mouth.

Gu Yuan started pretending again.

"Xiaoyu, don't leave. I regret it. Don't leave me, okay?"

Chi Yu gently comforted him.

"Ayuan, I won't leave, I'll be here with you."

I didn't miss the pride in Gu Yuan's eyes.

He was intentional.

Perhaps even today's play was directed and performed by oneself.

"Chi Yu, do you remember what you promised?"

She was momentarily stunned, but only for a moment.

"Ali, you've changed. Let's talk about our matter tomorrow. You go out first, he doesn't want to see you now... me too."

I turned around and didn't want to shed tears in front of her.

One night until dawn.

Chi Yu, like before, lifted the blanket and stuck it on.

Don't come over

I didn't even move, I gently spat out a few words.

She stuck it on my back.

I'm sorry, I just pretended to say it because I was afraid he might do something extreme

I closed my eyes and didn't look at her.

Let's get divorced

She held me tightly, still smelling of Gu Yuan on her body, which was very pungent.

I want to push away, but I'm afraid of hurting the baby, so I dare not exert force.

[Let go, I feel nauseous.]

She cried, tears dripping on my shoulders, still hot.

I paused in my movements.

"Ali, without you, I really don't know how to survive. You can do whatever you want, just don't leave me, okay?"

This is the first time she has cried since we met.

But I can no longer distinguish whether she is feeling sorry for Gu Yuan or really afraid of divorcing me.

I didn't speak, she hugged me even tighter.

"Ali, for the sake of the baby's face, can you forgive me once? After his lawsuit is over, I will immediately draw a clear line with her. The child cannot live without a father."

But Chi Yu, did you ever think of a moment when you held him.

I didn't speak, but I didn't continue to move, and in the end, I compromised.

After waking up, Gu Yuan loudly called out Chi Yu's name in the room.

She held my hand and walked out, noticing clearly that his gaze was on both hands.

Xiao Yu

He strode forward and hugged my wife.

Unconsciously knocked us apart.

I'm so scared, I won't see you again, I'm really scared

She glanced at me, her arm stuck in the air, neither holding nor not holding.

"You said you would never leave me, do you still count it now?"

Gu Yuan stared at her with deep affection and didn't give up on asking.

He hung me aside, and I didn't say anything, just silently watching Chi Yu.

We are already in the past tense. Please be clear headed. Regarding domestic violence, I will ask the lawyer to continue working on a solution. Please release me first

With just a gentle push, Gu Yuan immediately fell to the ground, and with the previous injury, his whole body seemed to be breaking at any moment.

[Is it because of him? Xiaoyu, you clearly said...]

Sitting on the ground, Gu Yuan's speech was incoherent and his state was very poor.

"Ali, I'll send him back first, he'll be back soon."

Chi Yu hugged me for a while, which was considered reassurance.

Before leaving, Gu Yuan gave me a last glance, his eyes filled with pride.

An hour after they left, Chi Yu's phone and text messages were both in a disconnected state.

I waited for a long time until an anonymous number sent me a few photos.

In the photo, Chi Yu was naked with his upper body, lying on Gu Yuan's chest, looking like a small bird.

There is no text, but everything has already been said.

I shook my hands and called according to the number, but no one answered.

That day, Chi Yu did not come back.

After losing contact for a whole day, she knelt on the floor of the living room.

[Ali, I'm sorry...]

She moved up to me with her knees one by one.

I squatted down and unbuttoned her buttons one by one.

Her fair skin was covered in dense red marks.

[Don't look, don't look, Ali, please, don't look...]

She tried hard to cover my eyes and close her clothes, but one shoulder strap had already been torn apart, loose and ridiculous.

During the waiting time, constantly comforting oneself that the photo was fake, now it seems like self deception.

"Ali, can you take care of me?"

Unable to wait for my answer, she suddenly started slapping herself, vigorously rubbing the skin on her chest, rubbing it red and even peeling off.

My heart hurts as much as she moves.

But she still avoided me when she wanted to touch me.

[Dirty...]

A word separated the distance in front of us, like a Milky Way spanning between Cowherd and Weaver Girl.

The air remained silent for a long time, and the things on the coffee table fell to the ground with a crisp sound before pulling the two people back.

Her lips moved, devoid of blood, and her face was even grayish white.
