The cold moonlight spilled through the window, illuminating his sharply defined face. 0
 
I carefully examined his brows and eyes. 0
 
Xiao Cheng is a man of his word; he would never cheat. 0
 
But he has always been thinking about Yong Nan. 0
 
My thoughts were a mess. 0
 
I even wondered what would happen to Xiao Cheng after I die. 0
 
Would he remarry? 0
 
He probably would, after all, he is still so young. 0
 
Yong Nan would surely be happy. 0
 
She would definitely take Xiao Cheng to travel around the world, to feel the sea breeze, and to stargaze from mountaintops. 0
 
They would have children, right? 0
 
It would be best if they had a boy and a girl, living happily together. 0
 
I closed my eyes, as if I could already see those scenes. 0
 
But not now. 0
 
Now is not the time for them to be together. 0

The first time I met Yong Nan was when I was ten years old. 0
 
My mother took me to a fancy restaurant for dinner. 0
 
Not far away, a family of three was having an exceptionally joyful time. 0
 
A little girl in a beautiful princess dress was being held by her father, laughing radiantly. 0
 
 
Mom was taking pictures of her, the flash going off continuously. 0
 
The girl was laughing happily, her silver bell-like laughter echoing throughout the restaurant. 0
 
I looked at that girl with a bit of envy. 0
 
That is Yong Nan. 0
 
Mom noticed the commotion over there and quietly asked me, "Do you want to go say hello?" 0
 
I shook my head. 0
 
I have little impression of Dad anymore. 0
 
He would occasionally come back and give me a cold glance. 0
 
Sometimes he would hug me, but he never said a word. 0
 
I didn't understand what he meant. 0
 
But I knew he didn't love me. 0

I continued to care for Xiao Cheng. 0
 
I also maintained a silent distance. 0
 
The occasional scent of Jasmine on his clothes. 0
 
His figure subtly displayed in Yong Nan's circle of friends. 0
 
I pretended not to know about it all. 0
 
I still liked his posts, still left comments, still playfully told him I loved him. 0
 
But inside, there was always a thorn. 0
 
 
I quit my job. 0
 
I also picked up the habit of writing a diary again. 0
 
What I did today, what I ate, who I met, where I felt uncomfortable... 0
 
Every detail is recorded in my diary. 0
 
Sometimes my stomach hurts. 0
 
It hurts so much that I can't sleep. 0
 
Sometimes, even when I'm very tired, I can't fall asleep. 0
 
I get up, take one or two sleeping pills, and then go back to sleep. 0
 
I still make dinner for Xiao Cheng. 0
 
After I finish cooking, I also make a little for myself. 0
 
I look at the colorful and fragrant dishes on the table. 0
 
But I've lost my appetite. 0
 
Forget it, I won't eat. 0
 
Tomorrow, I'll go see Mom for the last time. 0
 
Before leaving, I put a bank card with most of my savings in a book. 0
 
I said a few words to Mom and then said goodbye to her. 0
 
She walked me to the door and reminded me to take care of myself. 0
 
Mom doesn't love Dad, nor does she love me. 0
 
But she still fulfilled her responsibility as a mother and raised me. 0
 
 
Later, Dad went bankrupt, but she found happiness and married the person she loved. 0
 
They had a younger brother, and the three of them lived happily together. 0
 
I hope she is always happy. 0
 
Xiao Cheng came home in the evening and we had a rare meal together. 0
 
It had been a long time since we sat down to eat together. 0
 
He was very well-mannered while eating, not saying a word. 0
 
Actually, I quite liked it when he occasionally served me food while eating. 0
 
But he rarely did that. 0
 
That's okay; I don't mind. 0
 
After dinner, I took Pipi for a walk. 0
 
Recently, it has been very clingy. 0
 
At just over two months old, it is small and thin. 0
 
Xiao Cheng thinks it’s ugly, but I think it’s extremely cute. 0
 
When I carried Pipi back to my room, Xiao Cheng was still eating. 0
 
The steaming hot food and the warmth of him. 0
