The 99th Divorce

When Yu Lili heard that, she felt her face begin to heat up.

Ou Ming took another step forward. “I recall the times when I was with you, the times when we were happy in the shower together. That feeling was awesome.”

Yu Lili face heated up further. She watched as Ou Ming’s face came closer to hers. She stretched her hand out and pushed at him with a rebuke. “You lecher! Do you still intend to shower?”

“Yes.” Ou Ming moved closer and lowered his voice. “Didn’t we agree to do it together?” With that, he began to stroke Yu Lili with his hand. “Let’s shower together.”

Yu Lili slapped his hand off, but Ou Ming refused to budge.

The feeling was familiar and strange all at the same time. Yu Lili’s face reddened even further. She couldn’t even bring herself to speak normally. She pushed him away, saying, “I’ll wash you up before showering myself. Make way! I’m going to get some shower gel.”

“Let’s do it together. I’ll help you undress.” As he said that, Ou Ming’s hand made its way to her buttons.

His big hands brushed against her skin through her clothes. It made Yu Lili tingle all over.

“Your hand…” she looked down at the blister on his hand. “Doesn’t it hurt?”

“It hurts.” Ou Ming put his hand down. “If it makes your heart ache, then I won’t use my hand.”

With that, he bent his head and started making his way down inch by inch. Feeling his hot breath against her skin, Yu Lili’s body tightened. Her body began to throb. Every part of her skin he touched left a tingling sensation that spread to the rest of her body.

Ou Ming lowered his head and bit her button. Regardless of whether it was intentional or not, it was impossible for his teeth not to brush against her skin.

Her heart didn’t ache. What it felt was a completely different sensation altogether that was almost ethereal. Yu Lili’s breath started to become erratic, but she soon came back to her senses.

She pushed his head away and said resolutely, “Ou Ming, I’m just listening to Uncle Wen and taking care of you temporarily. Don’t expect too much. I have no intention of getting back together with you!”

“But, I do.” Ou Ming moved forward again and murmured, “I want to get back with you. I want to be with you. I want to marry you. I want to have children with you.”

Such words again? This time, when Yu Lili heard them, she didn’t find them romantic anymore.

She laughed humorlessly and replied, “Those words only work the first time they are uttered. To say them and retract them over and over again, is that something you find fun?”

“I mean it, Yu Lili. Really. I mean it. The government offices open tomorrow. We’ll go back and get our marriage certificate, shall we?” Ou Ming embraced her with one hand as he whispered into her ear.

“Enough.” Yu Lili pushed him away forcefully. “Did you think I’d believe you again? How many times have you said these same words? Count them on your own!”

Ou Ming felt his heart wrench. This reaction from Yu Lili had been expected and unexpected at the same time.

Fortunately, he hadn’t shown his hand yet. Ou Ming stepped forward and said, “Yu Lili, it was my bad. I let you down. I didn’t believe you. I was consumed by my blindness and my handicap. I didn’t want to burden you. That’s why I said all those things…”

“And, now?” Yu Lili looked up at him. Her eyes were reddening, but her voice remained steady and cold. “You asked me to help you bathe. Now that you’re aroused, you want to get me into bed with you. So, you’re willing to say anything, isn’t that so?” As she spoke, Yu Lili felt as if her heart was being dug out and left in its place was a gaping hole. She laughed sardonically and continued, “In your eyes, what difference am I from a blow-up sex doll?”
