The 99th Divorce

Yu Lili panicked. When she reached out to snatch the phone back, she heard Shen Zhilie’s voice on the other side. “Lili?”

“Yu Lili is taking a shower.” Ou Ming walked a little further away and stated bluntly. As he spoke, he didn’t forget to shoot an eye dagger at Yu Lili.

Yu Lili’s face immediately reddened. She stopped trying to speak.

“Taking a shower?”

She was taking a shower in Ou Ming’s room? What was the meaning of that?

“Yeah.” Ou Ming lied without blinking. He stretched out his hand and motioned for Yu Lili to go into the bathroom as he continued. “I’ll open the door for you now. Give me a moment.”

“Why didn’t you open the door just now?” Shen Zhilie asked. “I was pressing the doorbell for a long time. If you wanted to open the door, you would have opened it a long time ago. Alternatively, were you…”

Ou Ming put on is bathrobe and walked up to the door.

Yu Lili saw that he was indeed going to open the door. Finding herself trapped in the quilt, she began to go crazy with panic. She quickly jumped out of her cocoon and ran into the bathroom.

Ou Ming opened the door to the room at the very same moment that the door to the bathroom closed.

The moment Ou Ming opened the door, Shen Zhilie barged his way in.

He looked to the left and to the right. His gaze finally fell on the door to the bathroom. He pricked his ear to listen. There was indeed the sound of water coming from inside.

Shen Zhilie’s anger rose a notch as he looked at Ou Ming, who was dressed in a white bathrobe. In Ou Ming’s hand was a cell phone. His eyes were vacant and staring blanking into space as he close the door.

But, on his face was unmistakable satisfaction. Shen Zhilie felt a nagging suspicion that something was amiss and asked between clenched teeth, “Why is she showering here?”

“She got wet,” Ou Ming answered simply.

When Shen Zhilie heard that, his face twisted in fury.

Wet? Wet…

“Ou Ming!” Shen Zhilie took a step forward in anger and grabbed Ou Ming by the collar of his bathrobe. “What did you do to her?”

In comparison to Shen Zhilie’s obvious agitation, Ou Ming was a lot calmer. His eyes were unfocused and looked as if they didn’t register anything. Still, this particular look carried a hint of provocation.

“What can I do? My eyes can’t see, and my arm is broken. What do you think I can do in this state?” Ou Ming’s words did seem to make sense in Shen Zhilie’s ears.

He slowly calmed down and released Ou Ming and pushed him away.

Ou Ming reached out to adjust his collar. He asked in a measured and even tone, “Why don’t you ask me what she did to me and how she got wet?”

Shen Zhilie’s heart that had just begun to calm down fired up gain. He bellowed, “Ou Ming!”

Wet, shower, what she did to him… She couldn’t have… It was Yu Lili herself who went to… No! No way! Yu Lili wasn’t such a woman!

“What are you getting so agitated about? I’m so frightened that I don’t even dare to tell you about it anymore.” While those were Ou Ming’s words, he didn’t look frightened at all. Conversely, he looked like he was out to provoke.

Shen Zhilie calmed himself down and asked, “What do you mean by that?”

“She helped me shower, and accidently got herself drenched,” Ou Ming said “That’s why she’s showering now. Is there a problem?”

Shen Zhilie’s expression turned murderous. He asked forcefully, “She helped you to shower?”

“Yeah. She helped me undress and put on my clothes. She even helped me with my underwear.” Ou Ming answer was made with a hint of obvious satisfaction and triumph. “After all, it’s not easy for me in this state. She is a kind woman. Of course she’d take good care of a handicapped person like me.”
