We didn't escape the seven-year itch

Chapter 31

When Chu Yi entered the house, the lights were not turned on, so he thought Song Mingke had already fallen asleep.He automatically slowed down his steps without turning on the lights. When he walked to the living room, he found Song Mingke sitting on the sofa and watching TV intently.

"Ming Ke." Chu Yi called him softly.

Song Mingke turned to look at him, "You're back."

"It's past eleven o'clock, go to bed early?" Chu Yi took the opportunity to sit next to Song Mingke, "Mom dragged me to talk to Yuwei too late, I sent Yuwei back first, it was a bit late. "

"Yeah." Song Mingke looked at the TV and nodded.

Chu Yi remembered that Song Mingke said there was something to do, so he came back early and asked, "What's the matter with work? Has it been resolved?"

"It's okay, I just want to come back and don't want to stay with Mom."

Chu Yi frowned, "Why?"

"Chu Yi, don't you think I look out of place there?" Song Mingke showed no expression.

Chu Yi didn't understand why Song Mingke suddenly had such an idea, "You think too much."

"Really?" Song Mingke asked back.

Chu Yi was made uncomfortable by Song Mingke's tone, frowned and said, "What happened to you today? If it's about work, just resign."

"No, I won't resign." Song Mingke looked at Chu Yi, "Do you always think that I'm such an old man that I can't even do a job well? Or do you think I should stay at home and cook and clean?"

"That was not what I meant."

"When I don't go to work, my mother hates me for not going to work. I don't have a stable job income, which makes you suffer alone. When I go to work, my mother thinks that I don't do housework. I don't belong to Monkey King. I have 72 changes. I can do all the housework and work well. It’s not a day or two that my mother is dissatisfied with me. She didn’t like me from the beginning, right? She treats Yang Yuwei a hundred times better than me. What about me? outsider."

"Why are you mentioning Yang Yuwei?" Chu Yi frowned, "What does it have to do with her...don't make trouble..."

"I'm messing around? Chu Yi, isn't what I said the truth?"

Bright and dark light hit Song Mingke's face, and Chu Yi looked at Song Mingke with stubborn and sad eyes, like a hedgehog erecting its thorns, which made his eyes hurt.

"Mingke, calm down. Mom just treats her like a daughter. We've known each other for so many years, so the relationship is naturally better. We are a family."

"What about me?" Song Mingke closed his eyes, "Am I willing to compare with an outsider? Have I ever compared? I know that you are childhood sweethearts and have a good relationship. Could it be that I'm just short of ten years of time?" ?”

"...Ming Ke, I'm married to you, and I have nothing to do with her. Don't think too much, can you?" Chu Yi said helplessly, "Why can't you explain it?"

"Chu Yi, we are married. For so many years, I have been relying on the two red books in the cabinet to tell myself over and over again, 'We are married, we are one family' Do you know, I think How many times? Every time I see her, my uneasiness grows wildly in my heart."

Chu Yi didn't speak, because he saw the tears hanging from the corners of Song Mingke's eyes through the flickering light of the TV.

Chu Yi raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of Song Mingke's eyes, "Don't cry..."

"Chu Yi, I thought I never lacked a sense of security since I was a child, but later on, I had to rely on the law to make up for the lack of security I lacked with you."

Song Mingke looked at Chu Yi and said the last sentence, "Chu Yi, I don't want to do this anymore, let's get a divorce."

Chu Yi was startled, and held Song Mingke's wrist tightly, "Mingke, don't think about it. Okay, talk about divorce."

Song Mingke wiped his eyes, stood up from the sofa, and went straight to the door to put on his coat.

"It's so late and it's so cold outside, where are you going?" Chu Yi stopped in front of the door, looking at Song Mingke.

"Let me take a rest, I'm tired, I want to be quiet." Song Mingke looked up at him.

In the dark night, Chu Yi couldn't see Song Mingke's expression clearly, but felt sad and desolate, "Okay, you have a good rest, but tell me, where are you going?"

Song Mingke probably thought about it, "Go home, I'll go home."

The door was slammed shut in the cold wind, Chu Yi turned and went to the balcony, looked down at Song Mingke's car lights in the open-air parking lot downstairs, and then disappeared from his sight.

Chu Yi was in a daze, and he even wondered if he heard it wrong, but all the empty and quiet houses were clamoring, and Song Mingke really said that he wanted to divorce him.

He knew that between his mother and Song Mingke, he was not good enough, just like the question that never had a correct answer: "I fell into the water with your mother at the same time, who will you save"?

He thought that Song Mingke would always be so gentle, he thought that the problems between them could be easily resolved, but Song Mingke gave him a blow, like a rabbit that will bite when it is anxious, Song Mingke activated his protection mechanism, erected his thorns, Resisting, avoiding.

During an avalanche, no snowflake is innocent.He didn't know how much uneasiness and loss Song Mingke had accumulated before he finally said these words.Under what circumstances did Song Mingke's sense of security get wiped away bit by bit?
