"I transmigrated ten years into the future, where my once-sweet ex-wife had become cold and distant. She took me in."
A super-oblivious, sunny puppy of a top x a cool, chaste but very sensitive older bottom
On the day they divorced, Meng Zhizhu was in a car accident. When she woke up, ten years had passed.
She tried contacting her old friends, but every number was out of service.
Then she found a missing-person notice about herself online.
She tried calling the number listed there.
"Who is this?" A cool voice came through the phone.
Meng Zhizhu froze. It sounded so familiar that, for a moment, she thought of her ex-wife, Jiang Yu.
"I'm Meng Zhizhu. Who are you to me?"
-
After Meng Zhizhu went missing, Jiang Yu had spent ten years searching for her like a madwoman.
Not a single lead in all that time, not even news of her death. It was as if she had simply vanished.
One day, while handling paperwork at the office, Jiang Yu's phone rang.
The number was unfamiliar. Resisting her irritation at the interruption, she answered at the last second before hanging up.
"Who is this?"
A young, timid voice came from the other end.
Just like her ex-wife, who had been playing at disappearing for ten years.
"Wait there." Jiang Yu grabbed her coat and threw it on, then went out into the rain.
At last, she saw Meng Zhizhu.
The woman stood sheltering from the rain at a bus stop, wearing the same white T-shirt she had worn when they divorced. She rubbed her hands together and shivered in the cold wind. Her young face was exactly as Jiang Yu remembered it.
Jiang Yu walked over with an umbrella.
She took off her coat and draped it over her.
"Still as silly as ever."
-
Meng Zhizhu realized that she really had come ten years into the future.
Jiang Yu had matured a lot. Her whole demeanor warned people to keep their distance. Only the familiar face beneath that icy exterior reminded Meng Zhizhu that she was the same person.
Whenever those cool eyes swept over her, she was so frightened that she lowered her head.
She was nothing like the Jiang Yu in her memories, who used to hug her, act cute, and sweetly ask for kisses.
But Jiang Yu treated her very well.
She took her home, kept her there, and wouldn't let her out of sight. She even brought her along to the office.
Meng Zhizhu thought, They were an old married couple, so getting remarried couldn't be out of the question. Full of hope, she went to find Jiang Yu.
But outside the door, she heard Jiang Yu talking on the phone with someone else.
"Like her? Impossible."
"I took her in because she's funny. I'm just playing around."
The cold voice pressed the air from Meng Zhizhu's lungs.
She went back to the bedroom, locked the door, leaned against it, and cried all night.
The next day, she packed her things and left without looking back.
-
Jiang Yu came looking for her.
Meng Zhizhu had never imagined that when this ex-wife, who disliked being touched and treated her with cold distance, begged her desperately, she would look even more captivating than before.
