In the video, a woman's hand is seen holding a spoon to eat strawberry cake. In the corner of the video, a man's hand is revealed. That hand belongs to Chen Weidong. His watch is the birthday gift I gave him. The caption of the video wishes me a happy birthday. I zoomed in on the video and recognized that woman's hand. It belonged to the driver who took Chen Weidong home a month ago.
I saw Chen Weidong again five days later. I spotted him looking weary outside the company building. His face was etched with fatigue. I gently closed the door; he sat on the sofa with his eyes closed. A stubble had already appeared on his chin.
I walked in front of him and mustered all my strength to say what I had been thinking for a long time. I said, "Chen Weidong, let's break up." Chen Weidong's body trembled slightly. He straightened up, his voice softening. "Xuanbao, I've been too busy lately and have neglected you."
"Just give me some more time; once this busy period is over, things will be different." I shook my head and looked at him. "Chen Weidong, I don't want to continue."
"Let's part on good terms." Chen Weidong looked back at me. Our eyes met, and he understood my determination.
Inside the house, it was very cold.
I turned to the master bedroom to pack my things and move to the guest room.
At the bottom of the company building, Chen Weidong did not rush to get out of the car.
It was only after I got in that he spoke up.
"Li Xuan, I haven't taken good care of you during this time, I'm sorry."
"I won't do this again in the future."
I looked at him, my eyes filled with bitterness.
"Chen Weidong, some mistakes, once made, can never be undone."
Chen Weidong seemed a bit flustered; he looked at me and started to explain.
"Xuanbao, that night, Ma Yuan was drunk, and I took her to Wealthy Hotel."
"It was only later when I saw Secretary Zhang's message that I realized she was next door."
"As for that day, the reason I left you and your parents was because Zhao Dandan's mother was hospitalized."
"Xuanbao, Zhao Dandan's mother is not related to her by blood."
"The reason her mother was hospitalized was because of me, so I..."
"And that night was Zhao Dandan's birthday."
I looked at him without saying a word.
I stared at him, feeling a sharp pain in my heart.
He continued to explain.
In the car, I listened to him word by word as he explained about Zhao Dandan.
"Xuanbao, that day it was because the company documents were in Zhao Dandan's car that I left you and your parents halfway."
"As for the day of the business trip, Zhao Dandan bought a cake and invited everyone; I had no idea."
"The incident at Wealthy Hotel happened because I got drunk; she took me to the hotel, and after waking up, what shouldn't have happened already did."
"Xuanbao, I was wrong, I really was."
"I don't want to deceive you, nor do I want to hide anything from you anymore."
I looked at him and smiled.
"Chen Weidong, you actually acknowledged it, right?"
"If that day you had rejected her, she wouldn't have been able to take you to the hotel at all."
"Chen Weidong, you are not innocent at all."
Chen Weidong's face gradually turned pale.
I broke free from his hand and looked at him.
"Chen Weidong, it seems like I never really knew you."
"In fact, you know everything; you just let things unfold naturally."
"You clearly understood Zhao Dandan's feelings, yet you still allowed her."
"Was it really essential for you to go to Xiangshan that day?"
"You never eat cake; was that cake really that important?"
I pushed him away and got out of the car.
Chen Weidong never realized that he was the one who gradually let down his defenses, allowing others to get close to him.
That night, I dragged my suitcase and sought refuge with Ma Yuan.
Ma Yuan didn't ask me too many questions but ordered a table full of hot pot.
Looking at the bubbling hot pot, I suddenly smiled.
The warmth of human life is truly healing.
