When I returned to the ward, I saw Li Zeyuan holding his cell phone, still sitting in the same position as before. I couldn't help but ask, "How is it? My sister-in-law said when will you come?"

"She didn't answer the phone." Li Zeyuan rubbed the messy stubble on his chin and smiled bitterly: "My colleague has told her about our hospitalization last night. She must be angry with me. I don't blame her for being angry. I have done a lot of things in the past few years."

"Oh, nothing!" I sighed and made up a kind lie: "Women are not very concerned, and it will be fine in two days. Last night you were drunk. I called my sister-in-law and she also told me to take good care of you. In fact, she cares about you very much in essence. You have to understand the routine when you flirt with girls. I will teach you back..."

Before I could finish my words, the door of the ward was knocked by someone, and a woman wearing a blue-gray down jacket walked in.

Li Zeyuan stood up quickly and showed a silly smile like a big boy: "Linglong, you are here!"

I escaped and looked over. When I saw the woman clearly, I was slightly stunned and aimed at the insulated rice bucket held by her left hand. I thought to myself, isn’t this woman the woman who just got her shoes broken at the elevator? Could it be that she is Li Zeyuan’s wife?

Facing the hands Li Zeyuan handed over, the woman subconsciously took a step back and asked without any expression on her face: "It doesn't matter if the injury on your body is? I heard from Xiao Zhou that someone had been slashed several times."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Seeing you coming, my injury has healed." Li Zeyuan grabbed the armpits vulgarly, grabbed the woman's hand and said, "Sit down quickly, has Tongtong gone to school?"

"Well, Xiao Zhou told me last night that the child had already slept. I was afraid that she would not be safe at home alone, so I didn't come over, nor did I dare to tell the child that you were injured, because I was afraid that she would scare her." The woman sat on the bedside and placed the insulation bucket in her hand on the bedside table and whispered: "I made you pork feet soup, you should drink it while it's hot."

I frowned and kept wondering whether to tell Li Zeyuan what I just saw, but when I saw his happiness on his face, I felt a little reluctant, so I pursed my lips and lowered my head, intending to take a look before talking.

"Hehe, my wife is so nice." Li Zeyuan unconsciously unbuttoned the bucket and sniffed his nose hard, with an exaggerated smile: "It smells so good, it tastes exactly the same as before. Wife, didn't you always say you wanted to go to Beijing to see the flag-raising? This time the team happened to have a vacation for me. Let's set off in two days and ask Tongtong for a leave."

"Ah?" The woman was stunned for a moment, bit her mouth and smiled bitterly: "This is the dream I told you three years ago. Our daughter was in the second grade at that time. She is now in the fifth grade and is about to take the junior high school entrance exam. Her homework is very tense."

"Three years ago?" Li Zeyuan "Zi Liu" took a sip of the soup, a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes, and he coughed twice: "No matter how many years ago, since I have time now, we should achieve it. Linglong, I have decided that work will not work so hard in the future. Everything is mainly about you and Tongtong. Do you think it's okay?"

Li Zeyuan's wife Linglong pursed her lips and remained silent for a while, and said with a complicated expression: "Let's talk about it when your injury is healed."

Li Zeyuan was completely immersed in the beautiful dream he had drawn up and waved his hand carelessly: "Don't, while we have time, let's plan quickly. I mean to go to the capital first, and then we will go to the grassland along the highway to see where I served back then. Haven't you always wanted to eat roasted whole lamb? Then let my comrades entertain us...

Linglong breathed a long sigh, showed a calm expression, and suddenly said: "Old Li, let's get divorced."

"My comrade-in-arms have a ranch at home, and all the sheep there are alive... alive." Li Zeyuan was spitting out his mouth, and before he finished speaking, he was frozen by Linglong's words, and murmured with an incredible expression on his face: "Linglong, what are you saying? Don't joke around..."

"I'm not kidding." Linglong bit her mouth and shook her head: "Half a year ago, I was hesitating whether to show up with you. I thought you would change, but you didn't. Your life is work, the safety of the people you talk about every day. Sorry, I'm not great enough to be as noble as you."

"Linglong, I..." Li Zeyuan's eyes suddenly turned red.

Linglong's eyes were also red, and she murmured with tears in her eyes: "I know what you want to say. The child is not a reason to bind us. She is growing up now and has her own thinking. Let's get together and part. I don't want anything. As long as Tongtong, Tongtong follows you, she won't be happy, okay?"

Li Zeyuan sniffed hard, squatted in front of Linglong, and begged in a trembling voice: "Wife, I really changed this time. I will never go home for more than ten days without moving. I promise, I swear, is that okay? Give me another chance."

"I have given you a chance, and I have given you many times, but you completely ignored it." Linglong shook her head with tears on her face: "I am a woman, and I also have normal needs. You can have no money or power, but at least make me feel your care, right? What about you? You are busy usually, on weekends, and even during festivals. From the time of marriage to now, what year did you accompany me and Tongtong on New Year's Eve?"

Li Zeyuan panicked and shook his delicate arms hysterically begged: "From the future...will we have eaten together every New Year's Eve dinner in the future? I've really changed it."

Seeing that Li Zeyuan was almost kneeling down, I coughed and murmured: "Brother Li, stand up and have a good chat with my sister-in-law."

Actually, I want to tell him that the most humble attempt to retain him is not love, but mercy.

Linglong looked back at me, stretched her hands and wiped the tears on her face, and said softly: "Old Li, get up first, there are still people in the room. Can we both be calmer?"

Li Zeyuan seemed not to hear our dissuasion, but still murmured with a sad face: "Linglong, as long as you say it, I will definitely change it in the future. Please don't get a divorce?"

Linglong wiped the tears that kept rolling in her eyes with the back of her hand, and she sobbed in a very small voice: "I'm sorry Lao Li, I... I have no feelings for you anymore. We have been together for eight years. At first, it was because you were a policeman. I think you are very handsome and admired, but when the marriage turned into reality, I realized that worship cannot be exchanged for rice and cabbage, and worship cannot get the care it should have."

Li Zeyuan stubbornly held Lingqing's hand and chatted like a mental illness: "Fellow relationships can be cultivated slowly, and life will get better and better. Believe me, if you really don't like me now, I will quit, and then we...."

"I'm cheating!" Linglong spoke suddenly.

Li Zeyuan was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't hear it, and continued to murmur: "Let's go to business, my cousin opens a furniture factory in the south, so I can let him take me."

Linglong stood up "twist" and shook Li Zeyuan's pulling, raising her voice with tears in her face: "I'm cheating! Li Zeyuan, have you heard clearly? I'm cheating. If you had these words, you could tell me two months earlier that I would definitely hug you regardless of it, but now... everything is too late now."

"It's not too late, nothing is too late, I can think it's not knowing." Li Zeyuan hugged Linglong excitedly, and cried like a child: "Really, I can think it's not knowing everything, let's live a good life in the future."

"Old Li, don't do this..." The tears in Linglong's cheeks spread like a dam: "We can't go back. Even if you can pretend that nothing has happened, I can't. I can't face you. Facing Tongtong, let me go, and let yourself go?"

As she spoke, Linglong pushed Li Zeyuan away and ran out of the ward with a thrust. When she walked to the door of the ward, she looked back and wiped her tears from the back of her hand and murmured: "The divorce agreement is on the coffee table at home. I will take Tongtong away later. You can sign it when you are well."

"I don't want it..." Li Zeyuan crawled on the ground, crying helplessly.

"Old Li, I still like the fearless and masculine you. Take good care of yourself in the future and I can only accompany you here. If time goes back, I think I will fall in love with you, but I will never betray you again. Take care of you." Linglong sobbed and closed the ward door with a "bang".
