At this moment, I suddenly remembered.
During the summer of my eighteenth year, I killed my Stepfather with my own hands. Then I went to find Yan Feng. I saw Yan Feng and Lynn Yueyue. I felt very sad and closed myself off. Later, I met someone in a bookstore. He said he was Yan Feng. I didn't recognize him. I turned and left.
Looking back now, Yan Hai must have been very heartbroken at that time. I didn't even recognize him. Clearly, I had many beautiful memories with Yan Hai. Yet, I fell in love with that useless Yan Feng. It was obvious that Yan Hai treated me so well. I was so close to reaching the real Yan Hai.
It was Yan Feng; it was Yan Feng who deceived me! Why, why did Yan Feng have to trick me? Yan Hai had been waiting for me, and the person I was waiting for was also Yan Hai. We were so close to being together. Just a little bit more.
My heart felt like it was tightly gripped by something; I couldn't breathe. I looked at the diary in front of me, and my mind was filled with Yan Hai's face. During the summer of my eighteenth year, I fired a bullet that is now striking my forehead.
I collapsed onto the cold floor, staring at the wedding photo of me and Yan Feng, tears falling drop by drop. Yan Hai, Yan Hai, my Yan Hai. I love you. You won't be able to wait for me anymore. My heart feels like it's about to break.
I trembled as I opened Yan Hai's diary. The last page was filled with my name. Beneath the name was a standard photo of me. Seeing that photo, my memories suddenly began to resurface. It was the last year of high school, and I had achieved the top score in the province, earning a spot at Nan University University.
I posted about it on social media, and everyone at school came to congratulate me. They said, "He Li, you're amazing! First in the grade!" But what they didn't know was that I was living in hell. My Stepfather had died, and my mother's face no longer held a smile. There was no light left in my world. Light and darkness never met. Their brief intersection was merely the ebbing of the tide.
So, I returned the light to the sun. I cried for a long time, until I had no strength left to cry anymore. Then I carefully put away Yan Hai's diary. I washed my face and called Yan Feng.
The noise over there is loud; it must be coming from the bar.
I said to him, "Tomorrow is the last day of the divorce cooling-off period. Please find some time for us to finalize the divorce paperwork."
Yan Feng's voice was low and slightly slurred from alcohol:
"He Li, how can you be so ruthless?"
I replied, "Well, I'll see you at the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow at nine in the morning. I hope you can make it."
After saying that, I hung up the phone.
The next day, I arrived early at the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Not only did I take a number for myself, but I also handed out extra numbers to those who hadn't received one.
By the time Yan Feng arrived, I had already been waiting for quite a while.
When Yan Feng saw me, he paused for a moment: "He Li, what’s gotten into you today?"
I said, "Nothing much, let's go inside."
Yan Feng followed closely behind me, his gaze fixed on my back.
Once we entered the hall, he grabbed my wrist and asked,
"He Li, what trick are you trying to play this time?"
I shook off his hand and replied expressionlessly, "I'm not trying to play any tricks; I'm here to get divorced."
Yan Feng's eyes darkened as he scrutinized me, as if trying to read something from my face.
But I revealed nothing.
Between Yan Feng and me, there was no longer any possibility.
