Chapter 9 Paragliding Memories
Xie Yi Heng and I traveled to many countries on our honeymoon.
When we arrived at an island, the guide said it was a famous Paragliding spot.
This was an exciting sport I had never tried.
Colorful arcs in the blue sky, accompanied by shouts of release.
My heart beat faster bit by bit, and my body heated up.
I wanted to try it.
Xie Yi Heng held my hand.
"It's too dangerous; we can do something else."
But his gaze lingered on the scenery for a long time.
Shen Le Yue had shown me photos of them from childhood to adulthood.
Among them was their experience Paragliding at fifteen.
I was curious.
At that moment, was he considering my safety?
Or was he wanting to preserve that memory exclusive to the two of them?
Later, I understood.
Love became heavier because of differences.
Xie Yi Heng was a renowned genius architect.
He took on landmark large-scale projects.
But after Shen Le Yue's divorce, he was willing to design her new house personally.
Every night in the study drawing designs.
His eyes held joy brighter than the desk lamp.
The man who had divorced Shen Le Yue, the male lead of this world, came to see me.
He looked at me with pity.
"Your husband spends all day with the woman he liked for years, and you don't care at all."
After Xie Yi Heng knew about this, he explained the situation to me.
"That man cheated and kept pestering Shen Le Yue; I'm just protecting her temporarily."
"Wen Yu, don't misunderstand."
He rarely showed panic.
My tone was gentle.
"It's fine; I don't mind."
Xie Yi Heng seemed stunned for a moment.
I really didn't mind.
I had always been passive.
I measured how much affection to return based on others' feelings toward me.
Just like his love for me and Shen Le Yue, there was always light and heavy, less and more.
My love for him was the same.
When Xie Yi Heng's feelings for me were strongest, I loved him.
Gradually, love turned into habit, and living flatly like that for a lifetime wasn't bad.
Now, it was more like the relief of breaking free from shackles.
The male and female leads could break their set paths and choose another life.
Why should I continue this slow-boiling life because of habit?
When the comfort zone was no longer comfortable.
When habit was no longer convenient for life.
When I realized mineral water wasn't irreplaceable like boiled water, nor refreshing like soda.
I felt it was time to change my way of life.
On our third wedding anniversary.
Xie Yi Heng carefully prepared a candlelight dinner.
He even turned off his phone.
"Today it's just us; I have something to say to you."
We were as tacit as always.
My heart raced, my body grew warm, just like seeing Paragliding last time.
But this time, I would act.
"I have something to say to you too."
In his expectant gaze.
I smiled and took out the Divorce Agreement.
"Xie Yi Heng, let's divorce."
