When Shen Luo signed the contract, he only had one account in mind.
The father's debt has a three-year term, one thousand and ninety-five days. When the time comes, the two will not owe each other and leave cleanly.
She saw this marriage very clearly - Fu Shen needed a stable marriage endorsement, and she needed a sum of money that could meet her urgent needs, so that everyone could get what they needed and trade fairly.
Her only request was: don't lie to me so I can stay sane.
Fu Shen agreed.
Then he spent three whole years grinding her sobriety bit by bit with his own hands——
He remembered her birthday and engraved two words on the back of the watch; she had a fever, and he knew that the antipyretic medicine was in the second drawer; she avoided him, so he found excuses to get closer and asked some questions that he could actually solve by himself; she said, "I like her so much that I want to hide for a while." He sat there, snorted, and didn't sleep all night.
But he just didn't say it.
Not saying whether he likes it or not, not saying whether he wants to stay or not, not saying what that contract means in his eyes.
Shen Luo waited for him, waited for him to speak, waited for him to cross the line he had drawn himself.
Didn't wait.
One month before the contract expired, she packed two boxes, left a letter on the dining table, and left.
The letter was written very restrainedly, and the last line was: *Thank you for these three years. I remember them all. *
She took away many things, but not the watch he gave her.

Fu Shen arrived at the high-speed rail station ten minutes late.
He stood at the ticket gate, wearing a suit and holding the watch in his hand. People came and went around him, but he remained motionless.
