Mark put his arm around Sarah, as if treating
a treasure with care.
Without stopping him, I calmly squatted down,
picked up the box, and threw it into the trash
can as I passed by.
I don’t want anything that Mark has touched.
On the last day of leaving, I made a good
meal to say goodbye to my friends.
They were basically Mark’s teammates.
I heard them cheering when I brought out the
last dish.
“Captain Mark, would you and Ms. Sarah like.
to have a cross–cupped wedding drink?”
“Yeah, let’s do it.”
Sarah was sitting next to Mark, her face
flushed.
“Don’t mess around. Mark has a wife.”
Someone laughed:
“We know better than anyone else, don’t we?
If she hadn’t gotten married, Captain Mark
wouldn’t have given up and gone on a blind
date.”
Г
“Besides, Ms. Yu isn’t here.”
I was holding a hot dish that had just come
out of the pot, but it felt colder than ice.
I used to feel disgusted when these people
called me “sister–in–law.”
Mark put down his wine glass forcefully, his
face darkening as he prepared to speak.
I just happened to clear my throat and walked
out, placing the dish on the table.
“Let’s eat.”
I smiled, preparing to sit down.
Suddenly, Mark seemed to see something,
only, iviain seti |
IU SEE SUNGLY,
and his brów furrowed:
“Why are there so many dishes that Sarah
doesn’t like?”
Sarah waved her hand and said softly:
“It’s okay, it’s okay. I can just eat vegetables.”
“Sister–in–law… didn’t mean to.”
She said that, but her eyes were red.
Mark stood up, his brows furrowed with
obvious displeasure:
“I’ll take you to the state–run restaurant.”
“Wait a minute.”
く
I suddenly spoke up and poured myself a
glass of wine.
Mark stared at me in surprise.
I had never drunk in front of him in the five
years we were married.
“Sarah, I’d like to offer you a toast.”
The wine burned my throat, causing me to
cough non–stop.
Mark frowned and reached out to pat my
back.
I subconsciously dodged, hiding my red eyes.
His hand froze in mid–air, his expression
suddenly darkening.
“Yu Nanqing, you are really unreasonable.”
He left with Sarah after saying that.
The remaining teammates exchanged glances
and got up to leave.
I sat in the courtyard and ate the meal alone.
There were four hours left before the train’s
departure.
I picked all the vegetables I planted in the
courtyard and gave them to the neighbors on
both sides.
There were three hours left before the train’s
departure.
After cleaning the dishes, I put the divorce
application and the used snow cream on the
table.
There were two hours left before the train’s
departure.
I picked up my luggage and got on the army’s
truck.
The young soldier driving the car asked me:
“Ms. Yu, are you going home again? How
long will you be staying this time?”
I gave him some fruit candies and said with a
smile:
“I don’t know, maybe a lifetime.”
The soldier thought I was joking, and happily
took the truit candies and said:
“Then tell Captain Mark to tell me when you
come back. I’ll come pick you up again.”
I nodded, silently saying in my heart:
“There won’t be a next time.”
At eight o’clock in the evening, Mark and
Sarah returned home with the teammates
from that afternoon.
The group was talking and laughing, carrying
packed food.
“Ms. Yu, we’re back!”
The first person to enter shouted, and
fumbled for the light when he saw that the
house was dark.
“Did Ms. Yu go out?”
The teammate scratched his head and put the
food he was carrying on the table.
He paused when he saw the letter on the
table and subconsciously shouted:
“Captain Mark, Ms. Yu left you a letter. It’s…
it’s a divorce… application…”
Chapter 2
Mark walked behind Sarah, supporting her. He
didn’t hear clearly.
“What did you say?”
The teammate opened his mouth, but didn’t
have the courage to repeat it.
After a long time, he stammered:
“Cap… Captain, there’s a divorce application
that Sister–in–law left for you on the table…”
This time, he heard clearly.
Mark’s hand supporting Sarah instantly
dropped, and Sarah lost her balance and
sprained her ankle.
“Ow, Mark.”
Her voice was delicate, but the man didn’t
look back.
Mark pushed away the people crowded in the
room and grabbed the collar of the person
く
“What did you say? Say it again!”
His face was gloomy, and the aura that only
someone who had been on the battlefield had
instantly spread out.
The teammates next to him were stunned,
and no one dared to speak.
The teammate swallowed and said with
difficulty:
“Sis… Sister–in–law left you a letter. It’s on
the table.”
Mark pushed him away and picked up the
letter on the table with trembling hands.
The first line was a few large words.
<
Application to terminate marriage
relationship.
Applicants: Mark and Yu Nanqing.
Sarah walked in with a twisted ankle, wanting
to reach for Mark’s arm like before.
“Mark, my foot hurts.”
Mark suddenly pulled his hand back.
“Ah!”
Because the movement was too big, Sarah
uncontrollably fell to the ground.
It was a real sprain this time.
<
She took a few breaths of cold air, and her
face twisted for a moment.
Mark tightly grasped the divorce application,
not caring about Sarah’s movements.
“I’m going to find the political commissar!”
Mark’s face was pale, and he left without
looking back, stepping over Sarah on the
ground.
“Mark, Mark!”
