The 99th Divorce

Regardless of how arrogant and proud Ou Ming used to be, he was nothing more than a blind man now.

With eyes that couldn’t see, what did he have to be proud about?

Despite hearing everything that was said, Ou Ming acted as if nothing was out of the ordinary. He didn’t react at all. He groped his way forward bit by bit, paying much attention to each step.

Shen Zhilie watched as Ou Ming brushed past his shoulder and stiffened in shock.

“That’s not up to you either. Why did you add such mundane lines to your script?” the voice was as-a-matter-of-fact, but the confrontational intent was clearly present. “Does Yu Lili have any idea how delusional you are in your unrequited love?”

This attitude was way beyond anything that Shen Zhilie had expected. He had thought that Ou Ming would get angry, lose his temper, and lash out verbally. That was exactly what Shen Zhilie had been hoping for, but none of that happened.

Ou Ming walked in front, thin and frail, but his back remained ramrod-straight. The accident had caused him to lose a lot of weight. However, looking at the image of Ou Ming’s back, Shen Zhilie had the feeling that Ou Ming was toying with him. His anger began to bubble over.

Shen Zhilie himself had no idea where this strange and unfamiliar feeling came from, but he felt an intense anger burning inside his chest. But, he couldn’t lose his temper. He wasn’t that much of a loser as to actually lose his temper at a blind man.

Instead, Shen Zhilie took a deep breath and watched as Ou Ming walked toward the main road without any intention of slowly down.

Observing the figure of Ou Ming from the back, Shen Zhilie clenched his jaw in anger. He hurried forward to pull Ou Ming back. His actions were rough as he yelled, “If you continue on, you’ll be rolled over by a car! Since you’re blind, behave properly like one!”

When Ou Ming heard that, he obediently stopped moving.

For some reason, Shen Zhilie realized that Ou Ming was being particularly obedient today, so he suppressed the pressure building inside. Suppressing his emotions was like stuffing a ball of cotton in. It couldn’t go up nor down and stayed uncomfortably in between.

“Where’s my woman?” Ou Ming asked.

Shen Zhilie dragged him along toward a nearby restaurant and retorted sharply, “What woman do you have?”

Ou Ming knew he would never admit it. He changed the phrasing of his question. “Where is Yu Lili?”

“I don’t know,” Shen Zhilie said.

“Are you blind too?” Ou Ming asked. “Go look around and you’ll know!”

Shen Zhilie lost his temper. He gave Ou Ming a hard shove and barked out, “Where on earth does your confidence come from, blind man? I don’t have an all-seeing eye than can look everywhere!”

When Ou Ming was shoved by Shen Zhilie, he conversely felt a lot more at ease. He patted the area that Shen Zhilie came in contact with and said with a snort, “Don’t look for her, then. What are you getting angry about?”

Shen Zhilie swallowed the ball of anger that was about to come bursting forth. The pressure in his chest increased immensely. He clenched his teeth and reached his hand out to choke Ou Ming’s shadow. He was so infuriated that his face twisted.

Shen Zhilie wasn’t sure if he saw right, but he noticed that Ou Ming smiled for the briefest of seconds. That exacerbated his anger. He put his hands down and asked coldly, “What are you laughing at?”

“Did I laugh?” Ou Ming asked.

“You did,” Shen Zhilie said.

“Oh. I suddenly thought of something funny.” Ou Ming stood looking bored and leisurely. “Why is your reaction so extreme? Aren’t you being dramatic?”

Shen Zhilie really wanted to strangle him to death at that moment. He took a deep breath and said, “Let’s go. Didn’t you say you hadn’t eaten? Let’s go eat something.”

“Where’s Yu Lili?” Ou Ming asked.

“She’s not here yet,” Shen Zhilie said with frustration.

“Go and take a look,” Ou Ming replied. “Where did she go on her own?”

“Just worry about yourself, you d*mned blind man!” Just as he said that, a thought occurred to Shen Zhilie. Could this guy be pretending to be blind?
