Later, we went through everything that men and women should go through from lovers to partners. We held a wedding soon after I graduated, because I found out that I was pregnant, and our daughter Tongtong came to the world a few months later.
Over the past ten years or so, Deng Wenliang and I have gone through ups and downs hand in hand, from the sweetness and warmth of the honeymoon, to the steady flow of water, to the plainness of water now.
A few years ago, Deng Wenliang resigned from a large state-owned enterprise and started his own business. At that time, I fully supported him and took full responsibility for educating his daughter so as not to distract him. Eventually, his business gradually improved, but
, because he met all kinds of people in the business world, his heart began to become wild.
After all, we had been married for many years and had already passed the seven-year itch. Every part of my body was too familiar to him and there was nothing new about it, so I was sensitively aware that he had cheated on me.
The process was like a detective novel. I pursued it in secret, and he hid it in secret. The tighter I pursued it, the deeper he hid it. In the end, I was exhausted, physically tired, and mentally tired.
He began to use various excuses to stay away from home for several days and nights, so I ended up living the kind of days described in the beginning of staying alone in an empty room and sleeping alone.
I felt deeply helpless in my heart. I knew that I had passed the age of blooming flowers, and I could not give him the fresh stimulation he wanted. I thought of divorce, but when I saw my lively and lovely daughter, I thought of what we had gone through over the years.
As time goes by, I am undecided again.
At this time, Ye Xing came into my life.
Ye Xing studied musical instruments, majoring in piano. He was a third-year student at the conservatory at the time and was also my daughter’s tutor.
My daughter Tongtong started learning piano when she was five years old. She had two piano teachers. The female teacher in her thirties who used to teach Tongtong was very accomplished. However, she later went abroad, so I taught my daughter from the conservatory.
Another tutor was hired, this big boy named Ye Xing.
He is a very handsome boy with deep and three-dimensional facial features and flowing, smooth black hair. Sometimes he wears a white shirt and a pair of light blue jeans; sometimes he wears a white turtleneck sweater and a pair of beige pants. In short,
No matter what he wears, he always looks so fresh and tidy.
At the same time, under his handsome appearance, there is a layer of melancholy hidden, which is a unique temperament that belongs only to musicians. It is this kind of temperament that makes people deeply fascinated.
Because Ye Xing often came to our house to give piano lessons to our daughter at that time, he gradually got to know our family to a certain extent.
The situation at that time was that my husband only came home every two days, and he had not touched me for several months.
Ye Xing always came to my house and gradually realized this. He called me Aunt Su and my husband Uncle Deng. Once, when my daughter was practicing the piano, Ye Xing seemed to ask me casually: "Aunt Su."
,Why can’t I see Uncle Deng come back?”
Ye Xing grew up in a single-parent family. I didn’t know much about his family situation because he didn’t seem to be willing to mention it, so I just asked about it in general.
But I think it may be precisely because of the special situation of growing up in a single-parent family that he is sensitive to the problems in our family.
He has taught my daughter for more than a year and often comes to my house, but he only meets my husband a handful of times. In a family where the male protagonist never comes home, there is something wrong with it. I think Ye Xing is already sensitive to it.
Realized this.
At the same time, while Ye Xing was teaching his daughter piano, he and I gradually developed a strange and inexplicable relationship.
