Wen Suichang often felt that his wife was like a transparent person—plain, uninteresting, ordinary, with no presence at all. Even when they argued, she spoke softly and quietly, making it hard for anyone to get worked up.
He often thought this marriage was just a compromise. Three years in, apart from physical intimacy, he knew nothing about her.
Before marriage, his deepest impression of her was back in their first year of high school. She always sat in the farthest, most inconspicuous seat in the classroom, and when called on by the teacher, all she could do was blush and shake her head. He never imagined that this person would eventually become his wife.
The marriage started absurdly and ended ridiculously. One day, she told him she had someone she liked and wanted a divorce. On the day this loveless marriage ended, he felt an unprecedented sense of relief.
Wen Suichang always thought their marriage was one of compromise, but what he didn’t know was that the day she learned she would marry him, his seemingly uninteresting wife was so excited that she couldn’t sleep all night.
He also didn’t know that from high school to university, she had been quietly chasing his footsteps, putting in incredible effort just to stand by his side.
Cheng Yan created a playlist on NetEase Cloud called “Marry Mr. W”, filled with dozens of songs suitable for a wedding.
However, Wen Suichang had never given her a wedding.
Long, long after, Wen Suichang finally admitted that Cheng Yan was the only storm he had ever experienced in his life.
“Whose youthful dream can truly be fulfilled and praised?”
