In the busy city, the couple Zhang Wei and Li Ting symbolize ordinary and warm family life. Every morning, they wake up to the ringing of the same alarm clock, Li Ting always prepares breakfast in a hurry, while Zhang Wei takes care of organizing their schedules.
Will you be home late today?Zhang Wei asked while tying his tie.
Well, there's a project to talk to the client. Li Ting replied hurriedly, the knife and fork in her hand tapping the plate rhythmically.
That night, Li Ting's suitcase was neatly placed at the door. "This business trip could take five days. She said, her tone revealing a hint of unease.
Zhang Wei walked over and hugged her gently: "Don't worry, everything will go well." ”
The next day, Zhang Wei returned to his empty home, and he began to feel that something was wrong. Li Ting seems to have forgotten to bring her watch, which was a gift for their wedding anniversary. He gently put down his watch and saw the notebook left by Li Ting on the table. Out of curiosity, he flipped through a few pages, only to find a hotel business card and some incomprehensible notes sandwiched inside.
What does this mean?He muttered to himself.
In the following days, Zhang Wei tried to contact Li Ting, but she always ended the call in a hurry. A small suspicion slowly grew in his heart.
On the fifth day of Li Ting's business trip, Zhang Wei sat in the living room, spinning Li Ting's watch in his hand. There was the sound of the key turning outside the door, and Li Ting returned home tired.
Tingting, how was this business trip?Zhang Wei tried to listen.
Li Ting put down her luggage and looked tired: "I'm very tired, everything is going well." ”
Zhang Wei noticed her dodge, and the doubts in his heart deepened. He decided to continue observing, but he had a vague feeling that the peace in his home might just be the calm before the storm.
Li Ting's return did not bring peace to Zhang Wei, but a series of questions and uneasiness. He began to notice Li Ting's every move, and every detail seemed to hide some secrets.
One day after dinner, Zhang Wei tried to open the conversation: "Tingting, did you encounter any trouble on this business trip?"”
Li Ting avoided her eyes and replied, "No, everything is normal." Why do you suddenly ask that?”
Zhang Wei's heart tightened, but he tried to stay calm: "It's nothing, I just feel that you are a little different after you come back." ”
Li Ting was obviously reluctant to talk deeply, so she hurriedly ended the topic: "Maybe I'm tired from work, I'm going to rest." ”
That night, Zhang Wei lay in bed tossing and turning, and Li Ting's attitude confused him. He recalls the bits and pieces of their acquaintance and love, but he can't shake off the unsettling signs.
The next day, Zhang Wei decided to look more closely. During dinner, he noticed that Li Ting's mobile phone vibrated frequently, but her expression became more nervous every time she read the message.
Tingting, is it a matter of work?So busy?Zhang Wei asked tentatively.
Li Ting nervously put down her phone: "Well, yes, there are a lot of projects recently. ”
Zhang Wei didn't give up: "You look tired, aren't you uncomfortable?."”
Li Ting avoided the question: "I'm fine, it's just ordinary fatigue." ”
The atmosphere at the table began to get heavy. Zhang Wei felt an unspeakable sense of loss and pain. He began to wonder if their marriage was as strong as it seemed.
A few days later, Zhang Wei accidentally saw Li Ting sending a message to an unfamiliar number late at night. His heart sank, and he sensed that things might really not be simple. But instead of questioning directly, he decided to quietly investigate the owner of this number.
Through a series of efforts, Zhang Wei finally found the information of that number, which was a man he didn't know. He was shocked and betrayed, but he was unwilling to give up their years of affection easily.
In the evening, Zhang Wei sat on the sofa, faced Li Ting, and took a deep breath: "Tingting, can we talk frankly?"I felt like there was a gap between us. ”
Li Ting looked at him nervously, with uneasiness and hesitation in her eyes. She was silent for a while, and finally spoke: "Zhang Wei, I ......."”
This night, the conversation between the two lasted for a long time, but the truth still seemed to be vague, and Zhang Wei's heart was full of doubts and uneasiness.
On a sleepless night, Zhang Wei unexpectedly found a hotel room card in Li Ting's coat pocket. It was as if his heart had been hit with a hammer, and at that moment, all doubts seemed to turn into conclusive evidence. He decided that it was time to face it all.
The next day, Li Ting returned home, and Zhang Wei sat in the living room waiting for her with a calm face. He clutched the key card in his hand, his eyes firm and calm.
Tingting, we need to talk. Zhang Wei's voice was low.
When Li Ting saw the room card, her face instantly turned pale: "Zhang Wei, I ......."”
Zhang Wei interrupted her: "I need to know the truth, what is this?".Who are you going with?”
Li Ting's tears began to slide, and she stammered and began to explain. It turned out that she encountered great pressure and challenges in her work, and felt unprecedented loss and helplessness. On an unintentional evening, she got too close to a colleague at the company.
Zhang Wei listened, feeling an indescribable pain and disappointment. Their love, their vows, seemed to be all broken at this moment.
I know, I was wrong, I shouldn't have ...... like thisLi Ting choked up, her tone full of remorse.
Zhang Wei sighed deeply, his heart full of struggles and contradictions. He loves Li Ting, but he also knows that some cracks cannot be repaired.
In the end, Zhang Wei made a decision: "Tingting, I think we need time to think about everything clearly. I think divorce is probably the best option. ”
When Li Ting heard this, she burst into tears, but she knew that her mistake was irreparable.
In the days that followed, although both of them were full of pain in their hearts, they both handled the divorce formalities with respect and understanding. Zhang Wei began to rearrange his life, and he felt sad, but at the same time there was a sense of release.
And Li Ting also began to re-examine her life and value in reflection. She knew that this failed marriage would be an indelible lesson in her life.
Two people who once loved deeply chose their own paths in the face of the cruelty of reality. Their story, although it ended in tragedy, also gave each other a chance to make a new beginning. After being broken, it is the courage to pick up oneself again and move on.
