The Breakdown of Love: When I'm About to Leave You

　　I don't want to die. I want to have a lovely baby with Marlon and grow old together.

　　But before that, I had three days left.

　　Perhaps, I had to settle the score with Marlon before the end of my time with him.

　　On the way home, I practiced my lines over and over again in my heart.

　　I stood at the door and rubbed the muscles on my face to make myself look more natural.

　　The door was opened, and a pair of red high heels fell into the living room. The room was filled with the smell of alcohol.

　　My heart sank.

　　4

　　There was a coat lying at the door of the bedroom, which was given to Nina by me.

　　My chest heaved violently. One hand pressed on my heart, and the other on the door handle.

　　Clack.

　　The door opened from the inside, and Marlon appeared in front of me in only a pair of shorts.

　　I glanced at the bedroom and saw that only a girl's head was exposed in the quilt.

　　She had her back to me, but her figure and hair color belonged to Nina.

　　For a moment, my heart skipped a beat. The tearing pain made me breathless.

　　This was clearly what I wanted, wasn't it?

　　But why does it hurt so much?

　　I stared blankly at Cheng Li. At some point in time, my vision had been drowned in tears.

　　Marlon lowered his head and closed the door. Then, he grabbed my wrist and led me to the living room.

　　His palm was warm and he squeezed me very hard. I didn't struggle and let him drag me.

　　"Don't disturb Nina's sleep."

　　I knew that Nina's sleep quality was so good that she wouldn't wake up even if there was thunder.

　　Nina was a careless girl. She liked to be noisy, but her voice was loud.

　　I slept very lightly, and I would wake up if there was even the slightest noise. Every time, Marlon would tell Nina to shut up and stay in the living room.

　　Nina complained to me that it was better to kill her.

　　Since when did it become like this?

　　"I don't know. There was no sign at all. Did something that didn't happen in my previous life happen last night?"

　　Marlon lowered his eyes and picked up the clothes on the ground one by one.

　　In the end, he pushed the water to me.

　　"As you can see, divorce!"

　　His tone was cold, as if he had planned it a long time ago.

　　I tightened my grip on the glass of water and spoke in a casual manner.

　　"Okay!"

　　"F*ck, what's going on? You two... because of me."

　　Nina didn't know when she woke up and stood at the door of the bedroom, looking at me.

　　She was not wearing any eye-catching clothes. She frowned and looked at Marlon in disbelief.

　　"No, brother, you..."

　　Before Nina could finish her words, Marlon covered her mouth and pulled her out of the door with her clothes.

　　I sniffed and realized that my face was already covered in tears.

　　I went back to my bedroom and packed up my things.

　　There was a light pink dress hanging in the cabinet, which was a gift that Marlon bought for me with her salary.

　　Over the years, we have moved several times and lost a lot of things, but this dress was the only one I kept.

　　In my previous life, before I jumped down, I deliberately changed into this set of clothes.

　　This time, I took it away again.

　　By the time Marlon returned, I was almost done packing.

　　In fact, I didn't have many things. I was usually busy with work and rarely bought anything. Most of the time, Marlon bought it for me.

　　Only the giant doll on the sofa.

　　I said, "Someone like Marlon insisted on buying it. He had no choice but to carry it all the way in the summer."

　　When she got home, her clothes were soaked.

　　But I'm afraid I can't take her to the hospital, so I have to stay.

　　I pulled my suitcase and stood face to face with Cheng Li who was standing at the door. For a moment, no one spoke.

　　I didn't know if it was my illusion, but I saw tears in Marlon's eyes.

　　Marlon coughed lightly, breaking the ice-cold atmosphere.

　　"Well... Do you want to have a break-up trip"

　　"Go to Brittonia."

　　Marlon and I spoke at the same time. Suddenly, we laughed face to face, as if we hadn't broken up, as if I wouldn't die.

　　We took a trip without delay. It only took us two hours to decide on the journey.

　　I sat on the plane and peeped at Marlon's shadow on the window.

　　He was handsome, but for some reason, he didn't seem to be full of vitality. Instead, he looked a little gloomy.

　　I thought I was thinking too much. At this time, Cheng Li didn't know anything. She was just a person who was about to break up and start a new life.

　　As for me, I would slowly fade away from his life.

　　Many years later, when he found out that I was dead, he would only faintly say, "It's a pity that I'm so young."
