Misery loves company

  Sunlight came through the venetian blinds, illuminating Xu Xue's face and also the glass photo frame on his desk. In it, Xu Xue and a young woman were leaning against each other, dressed in suits and wedding attire.

  The golden characters in the upper right corner read: "A hundred years of good union".

  She noticed the unusual glances from others in the office, looking at Xu Xue's frowning face, and suddenly felt a deep sadness. The sadness was so overwhelming that her mind went blank, and for an instant, she even forgot the smile that had once made her fall in love with Xu Xue at first sight. The man in front of her seemed so unfamiliar.

  She clenched her fists and almost exhausted all her strength to calm down loudly, "Teacher Xu, I listened to you and had an abortion!"

  Then, under Xu Xue's astonished gaze, he turned around, took big strides and walked out, slamming the door shut.

  Bai Qingzhen once said that although Du Kuiwei usually looks silly, if anyone dares to bully her, she will immediately transform into a Super Saiyan and counterattack with methods that will make you gnash your teeth in hatred and cry out loud.

  However, her words were only half right. Xu Xiu was indeed gritting his teeth with hatred, but the one who was crying bitterly was Du Kuiwei.

  She locked herself in a small cubicle of the toilet and cried like an abandoned child.

  I used to think that as long as I put my heart and soul into it, love would be successful, but in the end, it was just a ridiculous farce. Thinking back, Xu Xiang never mentioned being with her for a lifetime, whether it was when they first rented a house or later when she was happy with him. A large part of it was her own desperate efforts. She thought Xu Xiang was introverted and shy, and occasionally cold, which she attributed to his bad mood. In the end, she was completely deceiving herself by constantly making excuses, foolishly living in her own idealized world.

  What she had always believed in was shattered, and she wailed again and again, crying loudly until she couldn't squeeze out any more tears, then turned to gentle sobbing.

  It was then that she noticed there was also a loud wailing sound coming from the next room.

  What a coincidence, we even met in the toilet!

  She blinked blankly, her attention completely drawn to the direction of next door, and her originally depressed mood suddenly cleared up a lot.

  It seems that she's not the only one who's having a bad time.

  Du Ke thought with a sense of comfort, being fellow drifters in this world, why must we have known each other before? The two of us accompanying each other in this cramped and smelly little room, even if we can't see each other's faces, feels incredibly intimate.

  Just as she was indulging in her daydreams, the crying sounds from next door suddenly stopped.

  "Li Jiahao, I'm telling you, if you don't come back, I'll die right here!"

  Fellow traveler shouted loudly with a crying tone.

  Du Kewe's forehead involuntarily flashed three black lines. Classmate, you're even more overbearing than me! Stronger!

  She listened carefully and after the voice next door finished speaking, it really did stop making noise. Amitabha, saying that she was going to die here, wouldn't actually do it, would she? Could it be that Du Ke's lifetime wasn't over yet, and she could still witness the crime scene?

  Another minute passed before Du Kuiwei truly tensed up.

  She muttered "Amitabha" three more times in her heart, walked out and knocked on the door next door. No one responded, she was shocked and squatted down to look through the gap, this look almost scared half of her soul away.

  A pretty girl with curly hair sat on the edge of the pit, her head drooping to one side, seemingly unconscious.
