Synopsis

She is like the deep sea. After knowing Su Nian for twenty years, loving her for ten, and hating her for another ten, that is the most accurate way I can describe her. I thought I had seen all of her, but I couldn’t even begin to measure her depth.

My name is Lu Chen. Ten years ago, she left me and went back to another man. I spent ten years building Chenyu, building a respectable, successful life without her.

Ten years later, she sent her resume to my company.

Her credentials were as polished as a carefully calculated answer. On the day of the interview, she sat on the other side of the one-way glass, calm and professional, answering every question with ease, as if she were really there just to apply for a job. I watched her from behind the glass, my palms drenched in sweat.

When she left, I chased after her. In the elevator, she said, “Think it over, then get in touch. If you haven’t, don’t see me again.”

I hadn’t thought it over, but I still asked her to dinner.

At the Japanese restaurant, she sat across from me. No catching up, no explanations, no sighing over ten years apart. She said only, “I need money. One year of work.”

I agreed. Then I added one condition: “For this year, you’ll live with me.”

She agreed so quickly that I wondered if she had guessed this would happen all along.

One contract, two signatures, with the line between Party A and Party B separating them. She was divorced, her child was not with her, and she was staying in a budget hotel. She needed a sum of money whose purpose she refused to explain. And I hadn’t even figured out why she had sent her resume to Chenyu before handing over the keys to my apartment.

Ten years later, she had come back, and I was still standing on the shore, unable to see through her.

This time, has she come to find shore, or to sink the ship?

I don’t dare ask.
