Mei Ling'er looked at the note, feeling confused.

Is this what the girl just left behind?

but……

The two seem to be in the passionate love period. The boy is particularly caring for the girl and looks gentle and considerate. The girl is very dependent on the boy and looks gentle and well-behaved.

Even though there were many questions in her mind, Mei Ling'er followed unconsciously. She wanted to find out what was going on.

The young couple walked and stopped, chatting and laughing along the way, and there was nothing wrong with them. They walked into a restaurant hand in hand, and Mei Ling'er followed them in. Even when ordering, she did not miss the opportunity to observe the two of them, but she only saw the girl's bright smile.

"Hello, can I share your table?"

Mei Ling'er looked up and saw an elegantly dressed middle-aged woman. She quickly agreed to share a table with her. The middle-aged woman sat down across from her, but she still didn't stop observing.

This strange behavior attracted the other party's attention.

"Are you here to catch a prostitute?" the middle-aged woman asked with amusement.

Mei Ling'er withdrew her gaze and met her eyes.

"Ah? No...no." Mei Ling'er agreed to share the table at first because she was impressed by the temperament of this middle-aged woman. She was well-dressed and had a kind and gentle tone, which made people feel friendly and reliable.

She glanced at the other person, thought for a moment, and leaned her head closer to him, signaling him with her eyes to look at her phone.

She swiped the screen of her phone while confirming with the other party.

"You said, they seem so loving, and their daily updates show them as a model couple. Is there a possibility that all this love is fake, or that most of it is fake?"

The middle-aged woman stared at her phone intently. After Mei Ling'er finished speaking, she glanced at Mei Ling'er and then turned her gaze to the young couple in the restaurant.

"Are they the model couple in your phone?"

"Well, yes." Mei Ling'er answered honestly.

The middle-aged woman folded her arms across her chest and leaned back in her chair.

"Let me tell you about a friend of mine. Her Moments were incredibly detailed. Every day, she'd either dine at this restaurant or go somewhere. Her husband often appeared in the background, both in photos and in her posts. Suddenly, one day, she posted a message on Moments saying she was going through a divorce. Her friends were stunned, thinking she was joking, and they left all sorts of funny emojis in the comments, but she ignored them. For a long time after that, her husband remained invisible on her Moments.

It wasn't until one day she posted her divorce certificate on her WeChat Moments that everyone realized she was not joking at all and was really divorced.

You know how she looked so happy in her circle of friends, why did she suddenly get divorced?"

Mei Ling'er shook her head.

"Haha...her husband doesn't actually love her that much. She took those photos to satisfy her vanity, and her husband was happy to be known as a good husband and a good father. It wasn't until the mistress showed up that she finally woke up. In fact, everything had been there for a long time."

The middle-aged woman stopped talking here, and Mei Ling'er asked curiously.

"What then?"

"Didn't I tell you that they got a divorce certificate? There was definitely some friction in between, but in the end they still lived separately." The middle-aged woman took a sip of the free tea in the store.

"So...what do you mean by telling me this?"

The middle-aged woman looked at Mei Ling'er's big, twinkling eyes and couldn't help but smile.

“If you want to know the truth about something, go and ask the person involved.”

Mei Ling'er nodded, not quite understanding. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the girl named Xingxing, who was sitting not far from them, stand up and seem to be going to the bathroom in the mall outside the restaurant. She followed her out as if possessed.

In the women's restroom of the mall, Xingxing was fixing her hair in front of the mirror when suddenly another face appeared in the mirror.

Mei Ling'er stood behind her, holding the small note in her hand, and asked tentatively:

"Hello, I just want to ask, is this note from you?"

Xingxing looked at the note and her expression suddenly became panicked. She looked helplessly outside the bathroom door, even though there was no one outside.

"I do not know what you're talking about……"

Bang!

Xingxing walked past Mei Ling'er, slammed the door shut, and left the bathroom.

Mei Ling'er's facial features wrinkled together...

Ok?

what's the situation?

Was she being overly sentimental or was this little note just a prank?

Regardless of how the note ended up in her duck box, she was now dejected and slouched back to her seat.

The elegant middle-aged woman also frowned, but her tone remained gentle.

"Why? Didn't the result turn out as expected?"

Mei Ling'er nodded gently and said, "Maybe I made a mistake."

The person opposite her smiled and comforted her, "No matter what, as long as we figure things out, that's all that matters." She glanced at the delicious food that had just been served and said, "Okay, no matter what happens, we have to be happy and fill our stomachs. Let's eat~"

Mei Ling'er felt a little relieved halfway through her meal and wanted to drink a cup of milk tea. Ignoring the middle-aged woman's objection, she interrupted her meal and ran out to buy a drink.

"Hello, I'd like a cup of Bamboo Breeze, hot and medium sweet."

"Okay, the order is relatively small, so it will be ready in about ten minutes."

Mei Ling'er scanned the code to pay and answered with satisfaction, "Okay." After paying, she stood by and waited, staring at the crowd in the mall in a daze.

Suddenly, someone poked her shoulder.

She turned her head in surprise, and after seeing the person's appearance clearly, she pursed her lips into a line and took two steps into the store.

The person who came was Xingxing. He noticed her distance and quickly moved closer.

With a painful look on his face, he said, "I was the one who left that little note. I was worried that he would follow us when we were in the restaurant bathroom just now, so I said that."

Mei Ling'er's expression eased a little.

Xingxing continued, "We were really in love at the beginning, and we might still be a loving couple now. But I don't know when it started, but he became so irritable, and he would lose his temper over the smallest things.

At the beginning, I tried to comfort him as much as possible because he was driving most of the way. I wanted to ensure our safety and did everything I could to make him relax.

Unexpectedly, he became even worse and blamed me more and more for all the misfortunes and accidents during the trip.

After he lost his temper with me, he would ask for my forgiveness and promise that he would change for the better.

For all these years of love, I forgave him again and again, hoping that he would really change for the better. But...but it seems like he will never get better..."

Xingxing said finally, unzipping his collar.

"I even feel like I'll never get better..."
