Before marrying Lucas Huo, he lived with his parents, and after marriage, the couple naturally lived together.
The income of both families was not that rich, just above average. To put it bluntly, they were an ordinary family with a good life. The house that Lucas Huo bought before getting married had two bedrooms and a living room. It was not very big, and he had to pay off the mortgage every month, but at least it was his.
At that time, Evan Tong moved in and originally planned to repay the loan together with Lucas Huo, but Lucas Huo said, "Let's talk about it after a year."
He thought about it and realized that if they got divorced a year later, it would be difficult to settle the bill.
Now that I think about it, it’s a good thing that Lucas Huo stopped him at the beginning, otherwise do you think he would want the money back or not?
If he wants it, it won't be that easy. If he doesn't want it, if Lucas Huo gets together with someone else in the future, once he asks about his "shares" in the house, it will be really uncomfortable.
Late at night, Evan Tong returned home with a lot of random thoughts in his mind. He stood at the door and fumbled for a long time before he found the small key that he hadn't had time to put on a keychain.
I opened the door and it was pitch black inside.
Evan Tong stood at the door and let out a long "ah". No one in the room paid attention to him and there was no response. He smiled at himself, turned on the light, closed the door, changed into slippers, and looked at the boxes one by one in worry.
He hates packing.
When he married Lucas Huo, in order to make himself look like a good housekeeper, he forced himself to clean the house every day and even learned how to cook a few dishes from his mother.
But in fact, the original Evan Tong was not this kind of person. His life was like a cassette, with A and B sides. When facing others, he was always on the A side, but when facing Lucas Huo, he automatically turned to the B side.
This is a bit like the idol baggage of those little stars.
The year of marriage was probably the most diligent year in Evan Tong's life. As long as there was nothing to do at school, he would do a thorough cleaning every Saturday. Whenever he had time, he would cook for Lucas Huo himself. Even if that man was called away temporarily, he would get up and make a midnight snack when he came back.
Of course, Lucas Huo also performed well, and many times the two of them rushed to do the work.
It sounds like a good marriage, but in fact, Evan Tong is very tired. This tiredness is not because of the weekly cleaning or getting up in the middle of the night to cook, but because he and Lucas Huo always feel like they are in a relationship. They are a legal couple, but except for the distance between their bodies when making love, it feels unnatural to hold hands at other times. When they first got married, Lucas Huo would K!ss him gently every time he went out and came back as a routine, but later this habit gradually disappeared. Evan Tong felt that there was a bit of pretense between them, otherwise she would not have filed for divorce.
Lucas Huo is a very good person, and Evan Tong still thinks so now, but there is really no spark of love between them.
Evan Tong, who had used up all his life's diligence in the past year, really didn't want to clean the house now. He rummaged through a few boxes and found the things he needed tonight. He ignored the rest and decided to have a good sleep first.
After washing up and lying on the bed, Evan Tong raised his hand to look at the ring in the moonlight.
He forgot to take it off again. He should find a small box to put it in and return it to Lucas Huo when he meets him again.
He found that his hands were quite nice-looking, with slender, fair and tender fingers, which had not become rough despite years of "eating" chalk dust.
Evan Tong sighed, thinking that Lucas Huo was unlucky, as he had never held the hand of such a nice touch many times.
After Evan Tong moved out in the morning, Lucas Huo went back to his room and fell asleep. Usually he could sleep until noon and then go to work, but today was special and he woke up after ten o'clock.
Evan Tong was usually not at home at this time, but he would always prepare meals before leaving and leave him a note asking him to get up and heat up the food before eating. This had been a habit of the two for the past year, but it didn't happen today.
Lucas Huo lay on the bed and looked at his phone for a while. Nothing new happened. However, he, who rarely got sick a year, now had a headache and fever.
I got up from the bed and looked at the empty house. I didn’t want to take the medicine anymore.
I have to say, after two people have lived together for a long time, it is quite difficult to get used to if one of them suddenly withdraws.
He tidied up simply, swept the floor, changed the bed sheets and quilt covers, ordered a takeout at around eleven o'clock, ate while watching TV, changed into his police uniform, and went to work again.
It was like this every day. In the past year since they got married, he and Evan Tong had spent very little time together. He even didn't go on the honeymoon as he had promised her. He felt really sorry for her when he thought about it.
Lucas Huo happened to meet Aunt Song who was coming back from outside with a big bag in her hand when he got downstairs. He went to help her. Aunt Song saw him and asked with a smile: "Are you going to work again? Last time, Xiaotong said that the dumplings with fennel stuffing I made were delicious. I will make them again today. Tell him to come to my house for dinner tonight."
Lucas Huo helped Auntie Song carry the food upstairs, and stood at the door and said with a smile: "He has something to do at school today, so he will probably be back quite late. You eat, and don't worry about him."
"You two are so busy," Aunt Song patted him, "Then I'll save some for him and put it in the refrigerator. He can get it from me when he comes back. If you are too lazy to cook, you can just cook dumplings for him."
Lucas Huo thanked him and thought that Evan Tong was really popular.
Lucas Huo, who was on the afternoon shift, was supposed to go to work at four o'clock, but he really didn't want to stay at home today, so he came here at around two o'clock.
"Hey, Master, why are you here so early today?" Ethan Zhao came last year. After arriving, he followed Lucas Huo and followed him every day, calling him Master.
"How is it? Is there anything wrong?" Lucas Huo walked over and poured himself a glass of water before sitting down. He had a terrible headache and just now he bought a pack of antipyretic medicine at the pharmacy on the way.
"It's still that Dong Ming from Sanhu Street. He beat his wife again. We've been talking about this for the whole morning."
"This is not just a small matter," Lucas Huo took the medicine, put down the cup and said to him, "This is not the first or second time that his wife has committed domestic violence. What will she say this time?"
"Not leaving," Ethan Zhao sighed as he slapped the table. "I really don't understand this elder sister. What is she clinging to with a man like this?"
Lucas Huo shook his head.
After he sat down, he opened the drawer and put the medicine in it, and accidentally saw the ring inside.
They have a rule that jewelry is not allowed, not even wedding rings. In the past, Lucas Huo would take it off when he was at work, but would always put it back on when he got home.
It was like a ritual, reminding him that there was someone at home.
But he forgot to wear it when he went back home this morning. At that time, his mind was full of Evan Tong's moving, and he left in a hurry and forgot to wear it.
Lucas Huo took out the ring and played with it in his hand. Ethan Zhao came over to look at it and asked with a smile: "Master, how are you and your wife doing? Are you really getting divorced?"
Lucas Huo glared at him and threw the ring back into the drawer: "Mind your own business."
Ethan Zhao was a gossipy person. When he first learned that Lucas Huo was married to a man, he was very surprised. At that time, same-S3x marriage had just been legalized for a short time, and his master was the first to "take the plunge", which caused quite a stir in their bureau.
Ethan Zhao had not met Evan Tong many times, but he remembered that his "teacher's wife" was very pretty and was a middle school teacher. Ethan Zhao had said at the beginning that when he had a child in the future, he would definitely send the child to be taught by his teacher's wife.
Unexpectedly, before he found a partner, his wife was no longer his wife.
"I see you look reluctant, are you? Then what are you leaving for?"
"Have you finished organizing the information I asked you to do yesterday?"
When Ethan Zhao heard this, he shut up and stopped talking.
"Get to work!" Lucas Huo knocked Ethan Zhao on the head with the file bag on the table, then stood up and went to the bathroom.
He was indeed nostalgic for the past. Evan Tong was such an interesting person, who wouldn't be nostalgic for him?
However, there are too many problems between him and Evan Tong. Instead of wasting time on it, it is better to divorce first. After peeling off the layer of marriage, they can get along with each other as their true selves.
At around eight o'clock, Lucas Huo received a WeChat message from Evan Tong, along with a photo. On her fair and slender fingers was a wedding ring of the same style as his.
Lucas Huo stared at the hand for a long time, and recalled Evan Tong's entire person.
Evan Tong has a total of five moles on his body, all very small, like five tiny sesame seeds stuck on white glutinous rice balls.
One at the corner of the mouth, one on the index finger, one on the earlobe, one on the heart, and one on the soft right buttock.
Lucas Huo actually knows Evan Tong very well, but Evan Tong doesn't know it.
Evan Tong told him that she forgot to return the ring. Lucas Huo did not reply immediately. It was not until he got off work at twelve o'clock that he replied to the other party, "You keep it for now."
Keep it for now, you may need it later.
Nothing happened that night, and the office was unusually quiet.
Before leaving get off work, Ethan Zhao said, "Master, let's go have a drink."
"Drink Sh!t."
"Let's go," Ethan Zhao held Lucas Huo's arm and dragged him inside, "Change your clothes, I'll buy you a drink."
If it had been any other time, Lucas Huo would have definitely scolded him and gone home, but today he thought about it and decided that since no one was waiting at home, he might as well go.
After work, the two changed out of their police uniforms, and Ethan Zhao drove Lucas Huo to the bar they used to go to occasionally.
Ethan Zhao drank alcohol, and Lucas Huo drank beverages.
"Master, you are the type who walks with the wind no matter what you do normally, but in the bar, you are so timid."
Lucas Huo is not a coward, he is allergic to alcohol. When he got married, he and Evan Tong invited a dozen or so friends and colleagues who were on good terms with him to dinner. During the meal, Evan Tong was the one who blocked the drinking for him the whole time.
Lucas Huo ignored his complaints, as it was the same every time anyway.
"Seriously, are you really getting divorced?" Ethan Zhao cared about his master from the bottom of his heart. When he first came, Lucas Huo scolded him for three hours at a time and five hours at a time. This man had a very bad temper. Ethan Zhao nicknamed him "violent tiger" behind his back. But ever since Lucas Huo got married, this man's temper had actually subsided. As long as he didn't do anything too stupid, Lucas Huo would not scold him too harshly.
Ethan Zhao felt that Evan Tong was a deity who had come down to earth, specifically to reform "Baobaohu" with his gentle influence.
At this moment, Evan Tong and Lucas Huo were divorced, and Ethan Zhao was afraid that things would go back to the time before liberation overnight, or even be worse than before liberation.
After all, divorced old men are prone to endocrine disorders. If male menopause comes early, he will be the one to suffer.
"Why do you worry so much about whether I get a divorce or not?" Lucas Huo leaned back in his chair and looked at Ethan Zhao. It was obvious at first glance that this kid was up to something.
"I am concerned about you." Ethan Zhao said, "My teacher's wife is beautiful, kind and virtuous. How could you let such a good person go? Didn't you say you liked her very much?"
Lucas Huo took a sip of his drink and pondered Evan Tong.
"Master, I have to criticize you for this. You don't know how to cherish me now. If my wife has someone else in the future, you can just cry."
"Thank you for your concern." Lucas Huo drank the drink in the cup in one gulp and said with a smile, "He is divorced, but he has no chance to find someone else."
"Fcuk, what does that mean?" Ethan Zhao suddenly got nervous. "Master, we are police officers, you can't break the law! The police badge is staring at you!"
Lucas Huo laughed: "What are you thinking? I mean, if you divorce me, I will get him back."
