Late at night.

Car lights cut across the deserted asphalt road.

Yang Yang drove the car and glanced at Li Yaoyao in the back seat of the car.

She slept deeply and would show a silly smile from time to time.

Gently release the accelerator and try to make the car as stable as possible.

In the past, Li Yaoyao seldom got drunk. He said that he had to keep his head clear while drawing comics.

I have never been so drunk before.

Seeing her like this, Yang Yang didn't know if he should feel bad.

Or maybe I should be angry, why haven't I learned to take care of myself since we were separated?

There was an indescribable feeling in his heart. Yang Yang only knew that he felt very unhappy at this time.

Stopped again at the door of a familiar neighborhood.

Opening the door of the back seat, Yang Yang leaned into the car and put his hand under Li Yaoyao's arm.

As soon as he picked her up, Li Yaoyao's arms wrapped around his neck.

Yang Yang lowered his head and saw that Li Yaoyao still had her eyes closed and was still asleep, so he ignored her.

At least it's a lot less troublesome now than if I were awake.

The security guard on duty at night didn't know where he was.

Yang Yang walked all the way to the elevator and didn't meet anyone.

It seemed that the breeze in the corridor at night was a bit cold, Li Yaoyao curled up in Yang Yang's arms like a child, her face pressed tightly against his chest.

Ding dong.

The elevator arrived, and Yang Yang carried her into the elevator.

While waiting for the elevator to go up, I looked down at Li Yaoyao.

This woman is actually quite lovable, but it's a pity.

When the floor arrived, Yang Yang stepped out of the elevator and walked all the way to the door of his house.

This was his home before, but there are not many good memories that remain in his memory.

I don’t know if the password has been changed.

It should be changed.

Yang Yang struggled to free up a hand, and with the mentality of giving it a try, he entered the previous password on the combination lock.

With the sound of mechanical gears turning, the door opened.

Yang Yang was slightly moved by the fact that he didn't change his password.

Pushing the door open with his back, Yang Yang walked inside.

What hits your face is the fragrance of cosmetics and a complex odor.

From the corner of his eye, he saw that the table at home had not been wiped clean and was covered with oil and suspicious stains.

The garbage bag in the trash can was not closed properly, and the bag collapsed in the trash can like garbage, with paper towels stained with colorful stains stacked on top.

On the floor tiles in the living room, you can always find food survivors if you look carefully.

Yang Yang frowned and sent Li Yaoyao back to the room and put her on the bed.

Standing up straight again, thinking of the mess in the kitchen and living room, and looking at Li Yaoyao's sleeping face, bad memories came to mind again.

It's like this every time. As long as he comes back later than Li Yaoyao from working overtime, he has to clean up this messy home.

He was also very tired and wanted to lie in bed and do nothing as soon as he came back.

But reality does not allow it.

This woman still couldn't explain it, saying that she was still aggrieved.

Thinking of this, Yang Yang began to feel a little irritable.

I left Li Yaoyao behind and went to the corridor outside the door to relax for a while.

In the end, Yang Yang didn't leave.

He went to the bathroom to get some hot water and returned to the bedroom where Li Yaoyao slept.

…

It was approaching midnight before Yang Yang finished settling Li Yaoyao.

After closing the door, he took the elevator and came down from upstairs.

All the way to the gate of the community, Yang Yang was still melancholy.

Li Yaoyao is a good girl, but she is not his ideal wife.

Destiny seems to be waiting for them to compromise, but neither of them is willing to compromise.

Yang Yang was thinking about what would happen if he compromised and gave up his job to focus on his family.

Thinking of Li Yaoyao's previous complaints about work and the various expenses of living in the city.

I'm afraid it's another kind of cruelty to her.

His unilateral efforts will not be forgiven, and the pressure of work and family will sooner or later push their marriage to the end again.

Thinking of this, Yang Yang still gave up on another possibility that seemed to exist.

Unknowingly, he had already walked out of the community.

A beautiful figure appeared next to his car.

"It's so late, what are you doing here?"

Xu Yan appeared next to his car, which surprised Yang Yang.

"It seems that I left my cell phone in your car. I found this place based on the location on the backup cell phone."

Shaking another mobile phone in her hand, Xu Yan had a smile on her face, but loneliness was deeply hidden in her eyes.

After getting off Yang Yang's car, she immediately picked up her mobile phone when she got home and followed Yang Yang secretly in the car.

Yang Yang squatted at the door of Li Yaoyao's company, and she saw him all the way until he appeared at the door of the hotel.

In order to prevent him from being discovered, Xu Yan did not follow him on the way back.

It wasn't until his car stopped that she followed the position and found this place.

"Is there any important information on the phone? Do you have to look for it now?" Yang Yang didn't think too much, opened the passenger seat of the car and helped Xu Yan find it.

Finally, Xu Yan’s cell phone was found in the crack of the backrest.

"I have some personal things that are not convenient for others to see... Where is this place? You don't seem to live here." Xu Yan took the phone and deliberately brought the topic to him.

"I met my ex-wife on the way back in the evening. I saw that she was drunk, so I just sent her back." Yang Yang said, opening the driver's door, "Want to come up? It's not safe for you to take a taxi back so late."

Xu Yan got into the passenger seat but didn't close the door.

"Since she is your ex-wife, why don't you stay with her at night? If you drink too much, you will easily vomit." Xu Yan reminded her in a 'good-natured' way.

Yang Yang grabbed the steering wheel and began to feel tangled in his heart.

He didn't think about that. Li Yaoyao slept so deeply that he forgot about people who drink and get up in the middle of the night to vomit.

"Tomorrow, you can ask for leave for me." Yang Yang finally let go of the steering wheel and got out of the car.

Xu Yan followed him down and grabbed him as he was about to return to the community.

"You are a grown man and you have a lot of inconveniences, so let me go."

"you?"

Although it was no longer a chance meeting, the relationship was not enough to allow her to help take care of his ex-wife.

Yang Yang couldn't understand what Xu Yan was thinking?

"Since you are divorced, it will be very embarrassing if she wakes up after vomiting the wine." Xu Yan had a gentle smile on her face when she spoke.

Yang Yang felt inexplicably at ease, as if he had been healed by this smile countless times, and the fatigue buried in his heart suddenly emerged tonight.

"Sorry to trouble you, I'll take you up." Yang Yang closed the car door and took Xu Yan towards the community.

Along the way, Xu Yan kept looking left and right, occasionally lowering her head and thinking a little, as if she was comparing something?

"What are you looking at?"

"I'm thinking about whether my home should be in a community like this when I get married... The environment is not bad, but there is a lack of space for children to play." Xu Yan pointed to the flower bed in the center of the community.

"It would be ideal to remove the flower beds there and put some swings or slide houses that children can play on."

Under the street lights at night, deep in the flower bed in the center of the community, there are only flowers and grass, and there is indeed something missing.
