Shi Yun and his boyfriend have been together for six years.
They made it through long distance, poverty, and the hardest years of their lives, but they couldn’t survive the love that had been worn down, again and again, until it was taken for granted.
The first time Dao Jin saw Shi Yun, he was simply confused.
How could that human let his partner grow so haggard?
He would sit outside a convenience store until the early hours, waiting for a phone call. He would smile and say it was fine even with a fever. He remembered all his partner’s preferences, yet didn’t even care whether he’d eaten properly that day.
Dao Jin observed him for a long time before reaching a conclusion:
That male human didn’t know how to care for a partner.
If he didn’t know how, then a snake would take over.
So Shi Yun found his empty fridge mysteriously stocked, and when he stayed up late working on a manuscript, an unknown client would send a request for extra pay: 【Don’t stay up late.】
If he finished work late, someone would be waiting quietly downstairs.
He didn’t even notice that his once-pale face had gradually regained its color, that he’d started eating regularly, that his stomachaches were becoming less frequent, or that his once-slender body was slowly filling out with soft flesh.
Dao Jin was very satisfied.
Now this was how you cared for a partner.
But a snake was still not human, and apparently didn’t quite understand the human concept of boundaries.
If Shi Yun talked to someone else for too long, Dao Jin would stare at them.
If someone got too close to Shi Yun, he would quietly step between them.
Even when Shi Yun’s ex-boyfriend showed up again, Dao Jin would stand behind Shi Yun with an expressionless face.
Shi Yun: “Are you jealous?”
“No.” Dao Jin corrected him earnestly. “I just don’t think he’s suitable as your partner.”
“…”
“I’m more suitable.”
*
At first, Dao Jin’s observation notes read:
【The observer must not interfere with the subject’s life.】
Later, they became:
【In special circumstances, limited intervention is permitted.】
And later still:
【Shi Yun needs looking after.】
【Shi Yun is very fragile. Control your strength during future contact.】
【Shi Yun is softhearted, too. He helps many people who have nothing to do with him. Bad. He could get hurt.】
【Shi Yun didn’t eat on time today.】
【Shi Yun smiled at another male human.】
【Shi Yun saw my true form. He’s afraid of me. He never used to look at me like that. I don’t like it. Shi Yun mustn’t be afraid of me.】
【Shi Yun ran away. Why? I won’t hurt him. I only want to keep him, hide him away, take good care of him, and have him by my side forever.】
【Why does Shi Yun want to leave me? You already stopped wanting that male human. Now, are you going to stop wanting me, just like you stopped wanting him? But I’m not like him. I won’t make you wait, and I won’t have another partner. I’ll stay with you forever.】
【Shi Yun, why don’t you want me?】
【Shi Yun, please don’t stop wanting me.】
Theme: Letting go of the wrong person is how you embrace a new future
A friend of mine, while on maternity leave, was photographed by a colleague with a ticket for illegally parking his car. In fact, the ticket was fake, but he didn't know it.
So he called his husband and asked if he had received the 12123 text message.
Then his husband said that he had not received it, but he was not at ease, so he logged into his husband's 12123 to check. It turned out that he did not find the violation mentioned by his colleague, but he found several other violations on the car. One of them was during his confinement period. It was said that the co-pilot was not wearing a seat belt. When he saw the co-pilot, he was a woman, and he did not recognize it. The address of the violation was also in another place.
Later, he checked the chat history with his husband. His husband said that he worked overtime that day and was in the company, but the violation was in another place, so he felt something was wrong.
Then he secretly looked at his mobile phone at night while his husband was sleeping. But when he didn't see anything, he checked the call records of China Mobile and found that he had made a call to a questionable mobile number that day.
He added the WeChat account of that phone number and found that the WeChat account had not been deleted. It was a picture of a beautiful woman. He clicked on it to see that there was no chat history. He should have deleted it.
Then he checked the WeChat transaction records and found that the transfers to this person were all 520,1314.
Then I clicked on the WeChat Moments and found that the other party was also married and had two children. Anyway, I checked everything I could, and I also checked the consumption record on the day of the violation. It was also in the girl's location. Moreover, the girl also posted in the Moments that day, which matched what her husband bought.
He recorded all the bills, call records, and room opening records.
Then the next day, while the baby was asleep, I confronted the man. At first, the man refused to admit it, until he called the other party directly and said that every money my husband spent on you was joint property, and asked him to transfer it over. The other party didn't say anything, just said okay.
When the man saw that the matter was exposed, he confessed in various ways, saying that it was the woman who seduced him.
Then he called the other girl and asked the man to talk to her. As a result, the man couldn't even utter a fart, so he played the recording of the man blaming the other party, which meant that neither of us had a good taste. Later, the other party gave up and the money was transferred.
Later, the two people agreed to divorce. The baby and house belonged to him, and the car belonged to the boy.
They also signed an agreement, which reads:
Dear teacher, can you give me some more?
Teacher, do you know that "The Analects of Confucius" has been updated by you.
Standing at Thirty: It means updating thirty chapters to gain a foothold in the industry.
Forty without Confusion: Forty chapters are updated every day. Only then can we continue to receive everyone's gratitude and praise, and no longer be confused about the meaning of creation.
You know your destiny at fifty: 50 chapters are updated every day, you are your destiny, and the entire red book praises you.
Sixty and easy to listen to: When you can update 60 chapters a day, everything you say will be easy to listen to, including us.
When you are seventy, do what you want without going beyond the rules: if you can update 70 chapters a day, you can do whatever you want!
I've been a little busy lately... I've been watching it intermittently.
Ah! I can't understand and can't guess whether Kang Qiao is good or bad (It hurts to use my brain [pick my brain] [pick my brain] [pick my brain])
I want to express my love for you, because the writing is beautiful, so I follow the updates every day. In fact, I am a master of collecting articles.
I like it ~ it looks good ^ω^ I like to see [lop-eared rabbit head] [lop-eared rabbit head] [lop-eared rabbit head]
I'm done, I want to take my time and look at [sunglasses]
I like it, and I also like to receive it in advance, why is it so suitable to my taste [lop-eared rabbit head][lop-eared rabbit head][lop-eared rabbit head]
So cute! The two babies are totally adorable!
Thank you to heaven, thank you to earth, thank you for your hard work~
