His Little Bell

At a small gathering of old friends, everyone asked Ling Yiyun curiously, "You can't see. How did you end up so devoted to that little girl Ding Ling?"

Ling Yiyun smiled and said, "Ding Ling... Ding-a-ling, ding-a-ling. It's a lovely-sounding name."

His answer seemed beside the point, but his affection for her was plain to see.

Ding Ling had asked him the same question, too.

Ling Yiyun simply said, "Because you're my little bell."

They choose each other and heal each other.

In a noisy world, I listen only to you.

*Ten-year age gap. Steady, older blind man vs. bewildered little girl.

**Both are each other's first and only partner.

1.

Word around the wealthy circles was that Shen Yuzhi had been sold out by his wife.

Ever since the day he married the genius designer Xu Zhiyu, onlookers had been waiting for this day to come.

Xu Zhiyu had an exceptionally beautiful appearance, and she always modeled the finale pieces at her design shows herself.

Shen Yuzhi had always enjoyed watching her, until he noticed the men in the audience drooling over her.

Consumed with jealousy, he said, "I want to hide you away."

But a thousand expressions of love couldn't withstand a carefully plotted upheaval.

Xu Zhiyu's eyes were bloodshot and frightening after a sleepless night, tears rolling down her cheeks.

"Is our marriage not worth even the smallest measure of trust from you?"

Shen Yuzhi's expression was indifferent. "Don't put on a tragic performance. Let's get divorced."

2.

At the awards ceremony,

Shen Yuzhi had his arm around a glamorous actress, sneaking sidelong glances at Xu Zhiyu.

She was alone, wearing a champagne-colored gown, her hair neatly pinned up.

Of course. What man would dare hit on his ex-wife, Shen Yuzhi's?

Five minutes later, Xu Zhiyu stood at center stage, holding the highest award and facing countless cameras.

"Marriage was the greatest obstacle to my career. I'm glad the road ahead is clear now."

3.

Surrounded by women and luxury, Shen Yuzhi was fed up. He sent a text: [My life is in danger. Come save me.]

Five minutes later, Xu Zhiyu hurriedly pushed open the door, only to find Shen Yuzhi among a crowd of women.

He rose lazily. "Mrs. Shen is checking up on me. I'm off."

What a model graduate of the Good Husband Academy. Xu Zhiyu didn't budge. "I haven't been Mrs. Shen for a long time."

Shen Yuzhi replied firmly, "You're the only one who can be Mrs. Shen."

4.

The kidnapper's sharp knife pressed against Xu Zhiyu's snowy-white neck, blood trickling down.

A few meters away, Shen Yuzhi's expensive suit was torn and filthy. He fell to his knees. "Let her go. I'll give you anything you want."

"What if I want your life?"

"Then take it."

Shen Yuzhi's life had long since ceased to be his own.
