On their wedding night, Gu Hanzhou handed her a black card: "Everyone gets what he needs, happy cooperation."
She accepted it with a smile and told herself not to take it seriously.
Later she discovered that he had a photo of another woman hidden in his study.
That word "wait" took eight years to write.
She didn't cry, make a fuss, or ask.
She only gave herself three seconds to feel sad.
Three seconds later, she signed the divorce agreement.
He doesn't know.
He is still waiting downstairs, still delivering milk, and still saying "I love you."
Three months later at the bidding meeting, he sat across from her and watched her win.
"You deserve it," he said.
She said: "It's too late."
Zhui's wife was burned in the crematorium, but he himself was burned.
——
She is a stand-in. He is a fool.
She won. He lost.
She said it was too late. He said I'll wait.
