The day after receiving the red book, Su Wan looked at the "Cohabitation Code" posted all over the refrigerator and finally confirmed that Lin Yan, her nemesis who had been fighting with her since childhood, was serious.
"No noise is allowed after ten o'clock at night, including your broken voice."
"You need to apply for the right to use the kitchen in advance, and cooking snail noodles is especially prohibited."
"Sleep in separate rooms, no contact unless necessary."
The man in a suit and leather shoes raised his gold-rimmed glasses, and his every word conveyed a "businesslike" indifference. Su Wan sneered, who doesn't know that this marriage contract is a transaction where both families get what they need? She turned around and threw the limited edition sneakers onto his legal books, and rolled her eyes: "Barrister Lin, I suggest adding 'Su Wan cannot breathe' as well."
But later——
She worked overtime until late at night, and found that the light was on in the study, and the man was staring blankly at her high school photo, tracing her smiling face repeatedly with his fingertips;
She casually said she felt sick to her stomach, and the next day there was warm millet porridge in the refrigerator, with the words "Given by the property management" written in flying colors on the post-it note;
Even when she was being challenged by her opponents, Lawyer Lin, who had always been calm, would slap her eyes on the table with red eyes: "How dare you touch my people?"
Until that rainy night, when he locked her in the closet, his voice trembled: "Su Wan, it's been seven years, and you haven't noticed... Have I long since stopped obeying some broken rules?"
It turns out that there is some tit-for-tat, which is a clumsy approach; some is indifference and alienation, hiding the sincerity that I dare not say. This engagement, which started out as a profit, eventually became the flaw in his seven-year secret love.
