The day I was diagnosed with terminal cancer, Ethan Blackwood asked me to go on a divorce reality show with him. I knew he had lost another bet with his little secretary. They had made ninety-nine bets in total, and every single time, he deliberately threw the game, letting himself lose. He lost the house we decorated together, lost our wedding. He even lost the child we created together. Ethan let Chloe perform the abortion herself, just to satisfy her curiosity about the human body. When the seven-month-old baby was aborted, I hemorrhaged and almost died on the operating table. The man handed me the contract for the show. "Ava, I lost another bet. It's just a reality show, humor Chloe." "It's also a good opportunity to boost your popularity, make it easier to get roles later." Ethan forgot that the last time he lost to Chloe, he signed me up for ten explicit films. Afterward, he promised, "I won't let any photos of you leak out." But the next day, a video of me completely naked broke the internet. And I was blacklisted by the entire industry, no director would hire me anymore. Calmly taking the contract and signing it, Ethan kissed my forehead in satisfaction. "Remember to choose 'not divorcing' in the final question, we get off together at the end of the journey." He didn't know, we wouldn't make it to the end. ... After putting away the contract, the call from the funeral home came. The man, who was always looking down at his phone, heard the vague words and looked up at me. "Who died?" I hung up the phone and casually replied, "A distant relative." He said "Oh," looked back down at his phone, and walked straight out. Forgetting to wait for me, as always. I didn't mind and followed him. Just as I opened the car door, someone held my hand down. Ethan pointed to the car behind, "Ava, you drive yourself to the filming location first, I still need to deliver breakfast to Chloe." I was stunned, then quickly took my hand back. Softly said, "Okay." Seeing that I didn't argue with him like before. He rarely showed me a gentle smile, "Remember to eat something yourself, you're too skinny." My eyes fell on the breakfast spread out in the back seat of his car, all kinds, more than ten varieties. Still steaming, I guess he bought them himself early in the morning. I withdrew my gaze, remembering when my stomach problems acted up, I begged him to buy me a cup of hot soy milk. He just gave me a cold look and handed me a bottle of milk, "I don't have time, you drink the milk first." After speaking, he rushed out the door. He forgot I was allergic to milk, the milk at home was prepared for him. He always never came home, the milk had long expired. Coming back to my senses, the car had already sped away. When I arrived at the recording scene, everyone looked at me with strange eyes. I didn't care, quietly waiting aside. Just other guests had already finished recording the pre-interview, Ethan hasn't arrived yet. The director urged me to contact him, took out the phone only to find that I had long been blocked. The last time he lost the bet to Chloe, was to delete all my contact information. I silently took back the phone, smiled apologetically at the director, "Sorry, I don't have his contact information." The people present whispered. "Did she sign up on her own initiative, Mr. Blackwood didn't want to accompany her to the show at all." "She made so many explicit films behind Mr. Blackwood's back, been with so many men, it's good enough that Mr. Blackwood didn't divorce her, how does she still have the face to go on the divorce show..." The director is Ethan's good friend, knows the inside story. Hearing such words, just slightly stunned, did not stop. I waited until dark, all the guests have gone back to the hotel to rest, I still sit in the recording studio. The cold wind blew through the window rustling, covering the mouth can not help coughing. The palm contaminated with bloodshot, just wiped off, someone walked in outside the door. The man heard my coughing sound, put the jacket on me. "Sorry, I'm late, the company suddenly has urgent matters to deal with." But I smelled the strong scent of crabapple flowers on his coat. Chloe likes to take a bath with crabapple flowers, Ethan built a ten-acre crabapple flower base for her. Flowers that should grow in spring, can also bloom in winter. Seeing the rash on his neck, I moved my gaze away without a trace. Ethan is allergic to pollen, the most serious time, once in front of me shock on the spot. I cried and made trouble, begged him not to ignore his own body for Chloe. In exchange for only his cold eyes, "Don't be meddlesome." Pinching the bloody paper ball in his hand, took off the clothes on his body. I hate this smell, he knows. My mother died under the crabapple tree where she and my father made their vows, that day my mother saw my father cheating. When passionate love, he gave me flowers, always carefully told the florist, no crabapple. Also once swore in front of me, never let down. Just, flowers will wither, people's hearts change easily. The boy who once loved me met the girl he loved more. The camera crew quickly notified the backup, Ethan still looked down at the phone, revealing a spoiling smile. Everyone tacitly did not disturb. Only I like playing a one-man show, alone answering the director's sharp questions one by one. This is not difficult for me, just acting. Just take this as the last play I perform in the world. The last link, the director handed us a note. Asked the last question, "Do you still want a divorce today?" The man suddenly looked up, put away the phone, took the note. When looking at me, I have already put the note into the box. He also followed the note thrown in. Joked to the director: "So mysterious, have to wait until the last day of recording to open?" Confidently look at me, "We won't divorce." After speaking, he stood up for me to drag the luggage into the hotel. Only just to the door, his phone ringtone rang. Ethan immediately hooked his lips, walked aside, picked up the phone. I struggled to move the suitcase up the steps. When he came back, I subconsciously handed him his pajamas. The man shook his head, did not pick up. Chuckled: "Bet with Chloe and lost again, she doesn't let us sleep together these seven days." My hand suspended in mid-air. If it was before, I would definitely have a big fight with him again. Just, I now even breathing is fast running out of strength. There is no extra energy to argue with him. Took back my hand, lay on the bed. "Then suit yourself, I'm tired, sleep first." Ethan's attention had long returned to the phone, did not hear clearly what I was saying. The next day, the man's wrist, more a pink hair tie. The lipstick mark on his shirt also showed that he left overnight last night. Ethan subconsciously rubbed the hair tie on his hand, let me can't help but think of, A few years ago when it was popular to give boyfriends hair ties, I also vulgarly put my own hair tie on Ethan's hand. The man in front of my face, threw my carefully selected hair tie into the trash can. Undisguised dislike me childish: "You are fast running to thirty, don't play this kind of little girl's game." I scrutinized the words on the hair tie, that "Chloe" word is extraordinarily dazzling. Ethan does not remember, Chloe is still a year older than me. Now he is happily accompanying Chloe to play little girl's games. "Went to buy breakfast early in the morning, let's eat some together." This is the first time Ethan bought breakfast for me since marriage. Even if it's just to cover up his excuse for leaving at night. And since Chloe appeared, bringing her breakfast became Ethan's habit. He still handed me a glass of milk. I told him many times, he did not remember that I can not drink milk. And Chloe's preferences, just casually mentioned, he attentively recorded in the memo. I accidentally saw, densely packed, meticulous. Picked up the xiaolongbao, but was slapped away by his palm. The back of the hand immediately pan up dark red marks. Ethan pushed the porridge to me, "This is for you." I suddenly remembered, just saw Chloe's moments. The girl's tone is charming, "Really want to eat hot buns woo woo." Thought of this, everything is clear. Can't help but speak to remind, "Today to go out to record the program." The man has already carried the food box to go out. Snowflakes floated outside the door, laughing at himself in self-mockery. When he went to find Chloe, always rain or shine. And when I was filming and encountered a mudslide, panicked called him. He only felt that I was hypocritical, immediately hung up the phone. Afterwards sent me disaster relief supplies, also sent to the wrong place. I almost died in that mudslide disaster, and he was accompanying Chloe to check in the amusement park. Love and not love so obvious. Partial I almost die, only see clearly. I forced the porridge into my mouth. The porridge was long cold, and that steamer of xiaolongbao was still steaming. Must be he carefully protected in his arms, so that the xiaolongbao did not cool down so fast. I know this so clearly because I also had such a snowy day, Carefully holding the xiaolongbao downstairs in the dormitory waiting for him. He loved others in the way I loved him, only appear I ridiculous and sad. It is received the director's notice, know Ethan want to be absent four days of program recording. And I need to with another three pairs of couples, continue recording. For four consecutive days, I like an invisible person, recorded by the camera. No one is willing to talk to a notorious porn star. And every day, Chloe's moments are very lively. Ethan accompanied her to Mohe skiing. Go to Bali for vacation. Go to Santa Claus Village to see the aurora. I was tortured by illness and unable to focus on thinking, long after the aftertaste came over. Originally the place they went, is the honeymoon route I and Ethan set very early before. Finger suspended on the screen for a long time, until the nosebleed dripping submerged the photo of the two under the aurora. I was flustered with a tissue to wipe off, but accidentally click a like. Soon, four days without contact man with a strange number, called. The man's voice was somewhat nervous, "Ava, it's Chloe's birthday, I accompanied her abroad for vacation." I wiped off the nosebleed, hoarse voice said it doesn't matter. Ethan's voice gentle up, "Ava, recorded variety show, I and Chloe's one hundred betting contract also completed." "Wait to go back, I properly accompany you to celebrate anniversary." Finished, behind him came the girl urging voice, "Brother Ethan, want to set off fireworks!" The man immediately hung up the phone. I stared blankly at the schedule message popped up on the phone, tomorrow is the tenth anniversary of me and Ethan together. And the life of the final deadline, also left a few days. Originally and Ethan together days, fast occupied half of my life. The next day, Ethan unexpectedly did not miss the appointment, on time appeared at the shooting scene. I changed into the goose yellow dress worn when just together, but took off the ring worn for a long time. Actually the ring long ago inappropriate, is I always not willing to take off. Out of the room, Ethan looked at me for a long time lost in thought, then smiling walk over to hold my hand. "Ava, you are too thin, eat more rice." Just like when young, he clipped the only few slices of meat in the bowl to me, gently touching my head, "Ava, eat more meat." My heart was moved, Chloe's untimely voice sounded behind him. "Ava sister you are somehow a female star, how wear nondescript, give brother Ethan shame." She looked up and down at my dress, can not help but puff a sound. Ethan only pettingly nodded her forehead, looked at me. "Chloe today with us to go to the jungle adventure." Chloe raised her chin, proudly said, "What adventure, I am now your production director!" "You better behave obediently, otherwise I will definitely let the cameraman brother shoot you ugly." Ethan not angry but laugh, full of promise. When getting on the car, Chloe sat in the driver's seat. Provocatively smile at me: "Sorry ah Ava sister, I carsick, aggrieved you sit in the back咯." I did not say anything, straight sit to the back seat. Two people along the way chatting about what they saw and heard during travel, I quietly closed my eyes to rest. Only the man through the rearview mirror, frequently look towards me. Chloe saw, suddenly "ouch" a sound. Ethan slammed on the brakes, nervous way: "Chloe, what's wrong?" Chloe covered her own stomach, "Brother Ethan my stomach hurts ah!" Ethan turned his head to look at me, "You get off, I first send Chloe to the hospital." I looked at the snow-covered wilderness, Ethan in accordance with Chloe's route into another road. Behind the camera crew did not keep up. "Take me back together." Chloe was anxious way: "That how can line, how can let Ava sister for me delay shooting." Saying, tightly frowning cry pain. Ethan almost lost reason like, drag me out of the car. "They soon keep up, you wait here first, Chloe she body weak, cold weather, can not stand." When the car left, I almost want to stand unstable. The snow is getting bigger and bigger, I waited for three whole hours, side bloody paper ball more and more. Until I fast hypothermia fainted past, a familiar figure rushed towards me. "Ava!" On the medical car of the program group, woke up, Chloe muttering on the side, "All blame me too stupid, unexpectedly pointed the wrong way." "Ava sister won't blame me right." Ethan embrace her, gently coaxed way: "No." Beside the doctor hesitant to speak, I shook my head at her. Only rested for an hour, the director remind continue recording. This time, the camera crew directly sent us into the jungle. Chloe make noise want to be together. Snow diffuse over the ankle, I subconsciously look towards Ethan. Before when snowing, he afraid my shoes wet, always carry me go. Nowadays, he did not hesitate to carry Chloe. Walked a section of road, only to find that I fell behind. Seeing my increasingly bloodless face, mouth open and open, pale explanation, "Chloe she body uncomfortable." I did not answer, muffled head walk forward. All the way silent, fast to the destination, Chloe make noise want to roast fire. Ethan put her carefully down, to pick up wood. Chloe glanced at the camera behind, close to in front of me. "Ava, did Brother Ethan tell you, he won't divorce you?" "He is lying to you, his every note, written all are divorce." "Know why?" She narrowed her eyes, eyes pride almost hide不住. Stroking her own lower abdomen, "Because I conceived his child, he want the whole world witness you divorce, then grandly marry me enter the door." Somehow, long numb heart at this moment rapid beating up. And Chloe is still continue, "He simply don't care about the bastard in your belly, otherwise won't let you abort." "Tsk tsk, you don't know, when come out, all purple..." I violently spit out a mouthful of blood, in all people haven't reacted over when, deadly pinch Chloe's neck. "Slut, you return my child's life, return my child's life come!" Twisting, my face was ruthless pumping a slap. Then thrown out. Chloe screaming: "Brother Ethan save life, Ava sister want to beat me to death!" "Ah, my lower body bleeding, our child is not can not keep?" I rolled down the hillside. Looking up, the man condescending looking at me. Face full of haze. "Ava, Chloe and child if something happens, I will never let you go." Saying, he picked up Chloe turn head to go. Only leave a sentence, "Let her properly reflect below, who also not allowed to pull her up!" Director hesitant way: "Ethan, weather too cold, down the mountain still have wild wolves haunt..." Haven't waited for him to finish, Ethan coldly interrupted him, "She all dare to shot hurt people, still afraid wild wolves?" "Your people immediately evacuate, who dare save her, I just stop all investment." Throat a rush of sweet surge up, I violently spit out a mouthful of blood come. Call stop angry man, "Ethan Blackwood." The man footsteps paused, eventually still did not turn back. Also did not hear my last sigh, "Ethan Blackwood, happy tenth anniversary." Snow covered my body, really good, I will never pain again... The next morning, Ethan drove alone to the end of the journey. There, will the whole network live the final result.

And the radio inside the car, suddenly insert broadcast a section farewell poem. Woman voice soft, "Dear fans friends, when you hear this paragraph, I have left this world..." Director almost trembling, pass the note inside the box to Ethan. "Ava she, every time tick all are——" "Divorce." Assistant face flustered to extreme point, "President, we press your orders to pick up madam back, but find a night, haven't find madam." Ethan to these followed one after another news, slightest didn't any reaction. He stunned in place, attentively listening to the radio inside woman voice. Fingers tightly clench become fist, scarlet eyes, a pair unbelievable look. Director and assistant also already react over. "Radio inside voice, good, seems to be madam."
