When they were five, he stuffed an orange-flavored lollipop into her mouth beneath the orphanage wall.

"Don't cry."

She remembered it for twenty-one years.

Later, she became his wife. In two years of marriage, he saw her only three times.

On their wedding night, he left her with a single remark: "You're really boring." He never replied to her messages or remembered her birthday. She ate New Year's Eve dinner alone and stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, watching the lights in homes across the city.

Everyone knew that Lord Li's wife was just a formality. Divorce was inevitable.

On the day their agreement expired, she left her keys on the entryway cabinet. She took nothing and walked away.

Li Chiye thought he didn't care. But after she left, he went back to Yunhe No. 1 every day and sat in the empty living room, breathing in the grapefruit scent on the blanket as it grew fainter by the day. Night after night, he couldn't sleep.

Later, Chen Ke said, "Lord Li tore up the agreement."

Later, He Sui said, "You're finished."

Then someone saw the arrogant, chaste Lord Li, his voice low and hoarse, saying:

"Give me a chance. I have no heart. Teach me."

Much later, someone saw him curled up on the sofa with his chin on her shoulder, wheedling pitifully, "Honey, do you think I'm boring? I'll go home and work hard at learning. You have to keep loving me."

Qi Wan looked down at him. "When have you ever been interesting?"

Li Chiye fell silent for a second, then hugged her even tighter.
