On this day, Xiao Cheng woke up earlier than usual, and I didn't even have time to help him with his tie.
He hurried out the door with a lunchbox in hand.
As he reached the entrance, he turned back to glance at me.
A hint of warmth appeared on his usually stern face: "I'm leaving."
I smiled at him: "Be careful on the road."
It was just like every other morning, yet somehow felt different.
I prepared a few dishes and delivered them to Xiao Cheng at noon.
I didn't inform him in advance.
In the past, he would always wait for me in the lobby and then take me upstairs.
Once, he introduced me to the front desk: "This is my wife."
For a moment, I thought we could continue living like this forever.
But dreams eventually wake up.
Reality always reveals its grim face.
I saw Xiao Cheng in the lobby.
And there was his white moonlight, Yong Nan.
Yong Nan was still holding the breakfast box I made for Xiao Cheng this morning.
She looked just like she did back in college, with her long hair cascading down and a smile that was both innocent and sly.
"Thank you, Mr. Xiao. It tastes great."
Xiao Cheng nodded slightly and reached out to take the breakfast box.
"You're welcome."
Yong Nan seemed to want to say something more. When she looked up, she saw me standing not far away.
A look of surprise immediately appeared on her face as she walked over to me. "Shangguan Yunduo, long time no see."
She wanted to shake hands but then noticed the breakfast box in my hand and smiled awkwardly. "So, you made breakfast?"
I smiled back. "Yes, if there's a chance in the future, I'll make it for you again."
Yong Nan quickly waved her hands. "No need, no need! If I had known it was you who made it, I definitely wouldn't have eaten it."
She turned to Xiao Cheng. "Mr. Xiao, I really didn't know! If I had known, I definitely wouldn't have eaten it. I'm sorry."
I smiled at her, just like before—gentle and understanding.
"It's okay. If you like it, I'll make it for you again tomorrow."
Yong Nan's eyes curved into a smile. "Really? Your cooking is amazing; no wonder Mr. Xiao likes you!"
I smiled even more brightly.
Xiao Cheng looked at us, his gaze meaningful.
Yong Nan had a sweet smile, innocent and harmless.
Only I knew that at this moment, my heart felt as if it were being burned by fire.
Anger and resentment gradually consumed me.
Why?
Why could she effortlessly obtain everything I desired?
Why could she easily win Xiao Cheng's heart?
At that moment, a thought slowly took shape in my mind.
That evening, when Xiao Cheng returned, he brought me a gift.
A pink diamond necklace, exquisitely designed and quite valuable.
I smiled and accepted it: "It's so beautiful, thank you, my husband."
He stared at my face, as if trying to discern something.
But I had long mastered the art of hiding my emotions.
Even though I felt sad inside, I could still smile as usual.
I knew this was his way of expressing guilt and apologizing to me.
I put away the necklace and got into bed first.
Xiao Cheng went to the bathroom.
I couldn't fall asleep; I didn't even know what I was thinking.
I wasn't sure if it was because Xiao Cheng was not good with words that I never held it against him.
Or if it was because I truly wasn't angry about Yong Nan's appearance.
Xiao Cheng lay down beside me, carefully holding me in his arms.
I closed my eyes, breathing evenly, as if I had fallen asleep.
Even after he fell asleep, I still couldn't sleep.
My stomach began to ache slightly.
I turned my head to look at the moonlight spilling onto the bed, feeling as if the world was silent and it was just me left alone.
At that moment, I realized that my time was running out.
