I Just Want to Divorce

Chapter 24

The typhoon has ended, but the impact has not disappeared. In the evening, it started to rain. It was a light rain at first, but it soon became heavier and heavier. With strong winds and thunder, the scene was doomsday-like.

Pedestrians sought shelter from the rain one after another, and after a while, only vehicles that were struggling were left on the road.

Yan Xiao came out of the dessert shop with red bean double skin milk, and the driver immediately greeted him with an umbrella. The car stopped at the door of the store, only a few steps away, but because of the heavy rain, he was still a little wet.

"Boss Yan, wipe it off." Knowing that Yan Xiao hates being untidy, the driver handed over a pack of tissues when he got in the car.

Yan Xiao said "no need" and told the driver to drive directly.

Visibility on the road became very low, and the driver slowed down accordingly. Yan Xiao didn't urge him, he held the dessert box with one hand to prevent the double skin milk from spilling due to the bumps in the car, and a faint smile flashed in his eyes.

According to the usual schedule, Ye Fei was already at home at this time. If you see what you brought, you should be very happy. Yan Xiao decided not to tell him the news of his early return. According to what Cheng Minghao said and the love tricks on the Internet, a proper surprise is necessary.

An hour later, Yan Xiao arrived home on time. But to his disappointment, he didn't see Ye Fei in the living room.

At first, Yan Xiao thought Ye Fei was in the room. He knocked on the door, but no one answered.

Yan Xiao thought for a while, took out his mobile phone and sent Ye Fei a WeChat message, asking if he was inconvenient to come back due to the heavy rain, and if he needed to pick it up by himself.

Ye Fei didn't reply.

Probably because he was busy, Yan Xiao came to such a conclusion.

He waited patiently for twenty minutes, during which time he walked around the house. Seeing the bowl Ye Fei used in the morning, his shoes in the shoe cabinet, and those weird snacks in the theater room, the inexplicable anxiety in my heart quickly disappeared.

The time pointed to seven o'clock, but Ye Fei still didn't come back. Yan Xiao became unable to concentrate and felt vaguely uneasy. So, he abandoned his reserve and took the initiative to call Ye Fei's number.

No one answered the first time.

Yan Xiao continued to call a second time, and when the ring rang for a long time and was about to hang up automatically, he finally got through.

"Ye Fei," Yan Xiao couldn't wait for Ye Fei to speak, and asked directly, "Where are you? I'll pick you up."

There was silence on the phone for a few seconds, and then Ye Fei's voice was softer than usual: "No, I won't go back."

Yan Xiao automatically understood this sentence as not coming back tonight. So he stood up, pretending he didn't hear Ye Fei's refusal, and walked out while saying, "The one who wants to come back is playing at Gu Ruijia's house? Let me pick you up."

"Yan Xiao," Ye Fei called to him, trying to make her voice sound calmer and colder, "I mean, I moved out, and I won't go back in the future."

Yan Xiao's footsteps stopped in place in an instant, and he remained silent for a long time before saying, "Ye Fei, you promised me."

"Yes," Ye Fei closed his eyes, and said in his usual nonchalant and understatement tone, "but I've changed my mind."

Ye Fei said: "I don't want to continue, so be it."

Ye Fei also said: "For the divorce, I..."

"Ye Fei," Yan Xiao interrupted him, not letting him continue, "Where are you?"

Ye Fei didn't answer his question, but only said: "Let's get together and get away, okay?"

No way, Yan Xiao thought. He didn't want to be separated from Ye Fei, not under any circumstances.

He opened the shoe cabinet to change his shoes, with no expression on his face, as if Ye Fei's words hadn't affected him in any way. But he didn't complete the simple action of changing shoes for a few minutes. Yan Xiao lowered his head, only to realize that his left and right were reversed.

"As long as I want, I will know your address." He changed the shoes calmly, thoughtfully giving Ye Fei a few seconds to think, and then asked again: "Where are you?"

This was the first time Yan Xiao showed such a strong aggressiveness in front of Ye Fei, and Ye Fei found that he could no longer avoid it. Because Yan Xiao made it clear that he can find out his address, and he is indeed capable of doing so.

If Ye Fei didn't tell him, he would find a way by himself.

Ye Fei didn't want to let everyone know about the two of them, so she had to give an address to the phone.

"Okay." Yan Xiao said, hung up the phone and called the driver.

Yan Xiao realized that he had made a mistake. Seven years ago, because of his hesitation and lack of initiative, he missed the first opportunity to ask for Ye Fei's contact information, and then Ye Fei completely forgot about him. Nothing happens.

And seven years later, because of his inactivity, he almost lost Ye Fei again.

Cheng Minghao was right, Yan Xiao had to admit it the moment he got into the car.

He didn't say anything, Ye Fei didn't know anything. Of course, it probably won't matter if you know it, but then Yan Xiao will have enough reasons to get close to Ye Fei, instead of just watching from afar forever, helpless and powerless.

Fortunately, it was not too late, Yan Xiao touched the marriage certificate that had always been in his pocket, and felt a little calmer.

The rain stopped at some point, making the car run more smoothly in the dark. The bright lights of the city are mercilessly left behind, rushing to the only destination.

After hanging up Yan Xiao's phone call, Ye Fei sat on the bed in a daze.

His new home is very small, only more than 60 square meters, which is just right for living alone. A big house always makes Ye Fei feel too empty.

Leaving is the only way Ye Fei can think of. Distance and time are the best cooling agents for feelings. The two of them had less contact and fewer meetings. After a long time, Yan Xiao would always calm down.

Ye Fei is not a likable person, Yan Xiao has everything, so he is not the only one.

But Yan Xiao put on that posture of swearing not to give up, as if no matter what, he must see him tonight.

Leaning helplessly on the head of the bed, Ye Fei couldn't help but start fantasizing.

It would be great if he didn't get sick, he wasn't even afraid of getting cancer, he could still be with Yan Xiao for a long time if he got treatment earlier. But it happened to be ALS, the most hopeless disease in the world.

The muscles of the body will atrophy a little bit. At first, they just can't move, and later they can't swallow and eat. In the end, even breathing will be deprived.

Ye Fei knew that if he tried his best, he might prolong his life by a few years. But he didn't want to live without dignity, and he didn't want Yan Xiao to see his struggling to survive.

He could only leave quietly before Yan Xiao got too deep, before the window paper between the two was pierced.

The regular knock on the door interrupted his thoughts, and Ye Fei was stunned for a few seconds before recovering. Yan Xiao came, and this knowledge made his heart beat faster in an instant.

Ye Fei took a deep breath, walked over to open the door, and met Yan Xiao's eyes.

For a while, neither of them spoke. In the end, it was Ye Fei who took the initiative to speak, and he stepped aside to make room, and said to Yan Xiao, "Come in."

As if waiting for his words, Yan Xiao immediately stepped into the room without the slightest hesitation. During this period, his eyes kept falling on Ye Fei, as if he would lose something if he didn't look at him.

Ye Fei was taken aback by him, so he avoided it with the excuse of going to fetch water.

As soon as the refrigerator was opened, Yan Xiao's voice came from behind: "I bought Shuangpi Nai today, but you are not here."

Not an accusatory tone, but it sounded pathetic.

Ye Fei felt sore in her heart, she paused for a few seconds before turning her head and whispering: "Really?"

Yan Xiao said "Yes", and he took a step forward, as if he wanted to shake Ye Fei's hand. But Ye Fei avoided it, so he didn't pester her anymore. He only looked into Ye Fei's eyes and called his name: "Ye Fei."

"Ok."

"These are the profits made by Feixiao Technology last year." Yan Xiao took out his mobile phone and typed a series of numbers on it, accurate to two decimal places.

Ye Fei didn't understand why he said this, but he was relieved. He said "Oh" and teased, "Is Yan always showing off to me?"

This topic is safe, nothing can go wrong. So Ye Fei strengthened his energy and continued following him: "It seems that playing games is indeed very profitable."

Yan Xiao said "No", he put down his phone, briefly left Ye Fei's eyes, and looked around the room: "You like this kind of apartment, I will send someone to find a better one right away."

After a pause, he added, "If you want to make TV dramas and movies, I can also invest."

"Fei Xiao video is not good enough now, I know," Yan Xiao looked into Ye Fei's eyes and said seriously, "Can you wait a little longer, Ye Fei. I will do my best, and you don't have to look for other online channels."

"I'll contact the cinema right away, your movie..."

Ye Fei's heart beat so fast that he almost burst out of his chest, and he didn't want to listen to it anymore.

"No need," Ye Fei interrupted him, turned around and walked to the living room, and issued a eviction order, "You also know the address, if you have nothing to do, go back first, I want to sleep."

Yan Xiao turned a deaf ear and pressed his shoulder the moment he was about to step out of the kitchen.

Ye Fei turned around and struggled a bit, but didn't break free.

"I lied to you when I said I needed a de facto partner." Yan Xiao said.

"I recovered the photo I took at Gu Ruijia's house. I want to see you all the time."

"I gave you a lighter because I don't want you to be so close to others."

"I just need you, not the one who signs a contract."

Ye Fei's brain went blank with a bang. The person who has always been eloquent can't speak a word at this time.

Yan Xiao's character was restrained and silent. Before he came, Ye Fei had guessed what he might say.

Maybe he will continue to find all kinds of excuses to make him move back, maybe he will be dealt with coldly, but he never thought that Yan Xiao would speak so directly that he even pretended not to understand.

Ye Fei wanted to hide subconsciously, but Yan Xiao didn't allow it. She pressed on his shoulder with great force, which stabilized his body and seemed to stabilize his heart.

"Ye Fei," Yan Xiao said, "I like you and want to be with you."
