Li Li was married to He He for five years, doing everything she could to be his “perfect helpmate.”
She asked little, listened little, and said little.
He resented her for using every trick in the book to force him into marriage,
and even their marital relations were laced with humiliation.
He subjected her to five years of the silent treatment, until his first love returned.
Only then did Li Li realize that he knew how to be tender. He just never showed it to her.
She packed her things and decisively chose to divorce him, but he began to panic.
The untouchable flower finally lowered his head and declared his love,
awkwardly trying to express his feelings and giving her the gifts she had once longed for but never received.
He began to learn how to be there for her, and to believe in her without hesitation.
But love that comes too late is worth less than weeds.
“He He, I don’t love you anymore, and I don’t need you either.”
