Mo Hai watched, mesmerized, as Li Shu approached the car and knocked on the window. Mo Hai snapped out of his daze and quickly wound down the window. The stench of cigarettes escaped through the opening at once, causing Li Shu to turn away and sneeze.
Mo Hai turned and realized he was holding a cigarette. He immediately stubbed it out, opened the door and got out.
Li Shu said, “Don’t shut the door. Let the air through.”
The man halted and obediently did as he was told. Then he looked at Li Shu and asked nervously, “Why- why did you come out here?”
Li Shu: …
She looked at the man and replied, “Shouldn’t I be the one asking this question?”
Mo Hai was stumped for a moment and then gushed, “Oh- oh. I signed the divorce agreement and brought it.”
After he said this, he walked around the car. He opened the front passenger seat door, bent over and looked at the crumpled document.
His hand halted midway before touching the papers and picking them up.
He straightened up and walked to Li Shu.
All of a sudden, he found himself wishing there was an endless distance between them. That way, he could walk towards her forever.
But after a few seconds, he found himself right in front of her.
She lowered her gaze to look at the agreement in his hands. Immediately, she extended her hand and said, “Let me have it.”
He paused and slowly looked up.
Li Shu said, “Thank you for this.”
He went into a daze.
Lowering his head, he looked at the document again.
He lifted his gaze to look into Li Shu’s face. After so many years, her features hadn’t changed much.
He slowly lifted his hand and gestured, “It’s ok, you’re welcome.”
As Li Shu’s hand reached over, he also lifted his arm.
However, just when she was about to touch the document, he suddenly drew the papers back. He looked up and said, “Li Shu, there’s something I’d like to say.”
Li Shu frowned and replied, “Go ahead.”
“I’ve clarified the matter with Mo Zhi. I know I’ve misunderstood. And today, Mo Zhi even tried to kill me.”
Li Shu was stunned and quickly looked at him at once when he said this.
But on the other hand, she suddenly felt silly. Since he was standing before her and telling her this, it meant he was alright.
Hence, she maintained her silence and did not speak.
Her firm attitude showed her determination to get a divorce.
Mo Hai looked intently at her and said, “I had a dream last night.”
“I dreamt that you died in an accident and left me forever. I signed the agreement before I had this dream, but now…”
He suddenly reached out, gripped her hand and said, “I don’t want to lose you.”
On this note, he released her hand and in a flash, ripped up the divorce papers.
He had changed his mind too quickly and, before Li Shu could even react, the divorce agreement was already in shreds.
She was livid as she glared at the man and hollered, “Mo! Hai!”
He gripped her hand again and said to her, “Li Shu, please forgive me. I know it was my fault. Please give me one more chance, will you?
