The 99th Divorce

Looking up, big drops of rain poured down. There was a drop on her eyelashes and then it quickly slid down her eyes. It was raining. Heavy rain. She checked her watch next to the lamp. 8:38 pm. He was late, 38 minutes late. And she had waited for an entire hour.

"Why hasn't he come yet?"

Did he forget it? Did he forget that someone was waiting for him?

Su Qianci picked up the phone and wanted to make a phone call, but she had no number to call. The screen of the mobile phone was attacked by raindrops, and soon a layer of water blurred the screen. Su Qianci blinked. The light of joy in her eyes dimmed inch by inch and then disappeared. But soon, she curled her lips into a smile of self-deprecation.

"When daydreaming, this is your consequence."

Except for a screen name, she knew nothing about him. She even imagined that this person was likely to be Li Sicheng… But now, this possibility could be completely ruled out. If he was Li Sicheng, he wouldn't let her wait for so long, would he? If he was Li Sicheng, he would definitely come, right?

The rain was getting more and more heavy. Maybe it was because the rain was too cold, Su Qianci felt her eyes were exceptionally warm. The warm liquid slid down her cheeks. Su Qianci looked up at the splendid Kingstown Bridge, curled her lips and whispered to herself, "You deserve it."

Not him, it must not be him. If it was him, he would definitely come. He loved her so much, so he would not have the heart see her waiting in the rain. If it was really him, he will probably rush over to hug her, and warn her with a straight face: don't come here again in the future!

Or maybe: no standing in the rain is allowed in the future.

Then he would carry her home, help her take off her clothes, and run her bath. This was Li Sicheng. Li Sicheng would not break his promise, ever. Leaning on the railing of the bridge, Su Qianci's hair had already been soaked. However, she did not feel cold. Her heart was in so much pain that it felt like it was being torn. Under the rain, she grabbed her phone and burst into tears. However, she should not cry at this time, right? What a funny scene. If anyone saw her, they would laugh at her. For she was overestimating herself. For she was daydreaming. For she was hallucinating and losing her mind!

Su Qianci also felt she was ridiculous. She forced herself to laugh. But when she laughed, the laughter was mixed with whimpers. She was crying and laughing, just like a crazy person. Yes, wasn't she a crazy person? She had been crazy from a while ago. Everyone was saying that she was delusional and no one believed her. Everyone looked at her with sympathy, for her stupidity. Now, even she had begun to sympathize with herself. The gust of wind made raging waves on the river.

Su Qianci looked at the endless dark river, laughed, and said loudly, "Su Qianci, why are you so pathetic!" Pathetic indeed! So, so pathetic… For what? She did not even deserve to be called pathetic right now. "Do you think you are still the old Su Qianci?" Su Qianci turned and walked toward that Bugatti step by step, muttering to herself, half self-deprecating, half proud, or perhaps, just plainly stating, "Without Li Sicheng, you are nothing."
