His long fingers were dancing quickly on the keyboard and he was frowning a little, but the look in his eyes was dogged and resolute, and reminded one of a deep pool.

 In that moment, An Xiaxia agreed more than ever that an earnest man was the most attractive.

 Hearing An Xiaxia’s footsteps, Sheng Yize looked up and saw the red-eyed An Xiaxia, who reminded him of a rabbit. She wasn’t wearing any shoes and she was so nervous that her toes had all curled up.

 In her hand was his phone.

 Sheng Yize now knew what it was like to feel the entire world collapse around him in an instant.

 He closed the laptop, rose to his feet, and opened his mouth, but no words would come out.

 “Sheng Yize.” After a moment, An Xiaxia ended up being the first to speak. “I want to tell you that I’m sorry…”

 “Come over here.” Sheng Yize rubbed his forehead and sighed.

 An Xiaxia didn’t move. She only looked up a little and feigned a casual voice. “You still have the divorce papers I sent to your email box, don’t you?”

 His heart sank at this and Sheng Yize was irritated. “What are you suggesting?!”

 “I just think that… if you can’t live with this, we can always divorce. I want nothing but the kids…”

 She wanted to raise Cola and Pepsi herself.

 Sheng Yize was so angry that he began to laugh. “Divorce? And let you have the kids? I see you’ve thought it through!”

 An Xiaxia wrung the lower hem of her clothes. “If you’re not happy about the arrangement… we can always talk about it.”

 Sheng Yize couldn’t stand her submissive tone.

 He marched toward An Xiaxia and held her by her shoulders. “Do you remember what I told you before?”

 He had said so many things and she didn’t know which one he was referring to, so she shook her head. “I don’t have that good a memory.”

 Sheng Yize felt helpless and defeated. “Do you think I’m not worthy of your trust?”

 “No…” Instinctively, An Xiaxia tried to explain herself, but she saw that Sheng Yize’s eyes were filled with… disappointment.

 “I thought you understood how I feel about you. The least we can do is trust each other.” Sheng Yize chuckled self-mockingly. “But when something comes up, your instinct is to run away. An Xiaxia, you really get on my nerves when you do that!”

 She was like an ostrich — opinionated but cowardly. All she did was give in and be evasive.

 An Xiaxia bit her lip so hard that she could taste blood.

 “I just… don’t want to make it hard for you.”

 “Have I said or done anything?” Sheng Yize fought back his anger. “Now, go back to bed like a good girl. We’ll talk about it tomorrow.”

 He needed to cool his head, or he couldn’t promise what he would do next.

 An Xiaxia wrung her fingers together and said sorry again.

 “Don’t say that word to me!” Sheng Yize raised his voice. “How can you be so stupid?!”

 That made An Xiaxia jump and tears welled up in her eyes again, but she went on stubbornly. “I know I’m stupid… I’m sorry… I don’t mean to be…”

 But there were times when she really had no idea what to do.

 After all those years of school and all the classes she had taken, she had never been taught how to love.

 She was completely ignorant in love. When things came up, she didn’t know how to handle them. She tried her best to make things right, but that never seemed to please anyone.

 “I want to face it together with you… but I was afraid that you wouldn’t want to…

 “You always look down on me and… I was really afraid that you’d be like that again.

 “I was going to tell you…” She stretched out her hands to Sheng Yize. “I’m scared. So… can you, maybe, face this together with me?”
