"Dr. Lu's Semi-Permanent Contract"
When Jiang Wan, a trainee lawyer, was so poor that she couldn't even pay the rent, her colleagues introduced her to a "roommate" - the kind who gets a certificate.
At the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Lu Siyan was fifteen minutes late. He didn't even change his white coat, but signed with a cold face: "Divorce in six months, no one will interfere."
Jiang Wan thought, since food and accommodation were included and she didn't have to deal with her husband's family, it was a good deal.
On the first day I moved into his house, I made three rules: sleep in separate rooms, not inquire about each other's whereabouts, and leave on time when due.
But people's hearts are never about the spirit of contract.
When she came home from working overtime until early in the morning, he would always be waiting on the sofa, saying he was "reading literature." The refrigerator was unknowingly filled with her favorite yogurt and fruits, and the book she mentioned casually appeared on the table the next day.
She was bullied by her senior, and he calmly used his connections to smooth things over for her. Her birthday was forgotten by everyone. After working the night shift, he bought the cake back with the note "Made up" written on it.
The half-year deadline was getting closer and closer, and Jiang Wan began to be afraid—not afraid of divorce, but afraid that she would never meet such a person again after the divorce.
She moved out early and left a note: "Thank you for taking care of me. It's due."
In the early morning of that day, the man who was always calm and restrained knocked on her door with red eyes:
"I regretted it."
"The contract is void."
"I don't want a divorce."
