The next morning.
Wei woke up with a bad headache. Instinctively, he reached out his arm to his side but found the other side to be empty. He slowly opened his eyes and stiffened on realizing that Lihua wasn't there anymore.
His gaze stared into the emptiness. He had cried for so long last night that he didn't realize when he fell asleep out of sheer tiredness and exhaustion.
*Meow*
He lowered his gaze and saw Lihua, the cat, resting on his abdomen.
So you are awake, human.
Wei got up and held the cat in his arms. He gently brushed his fingers across her fur.
"This is the beginning...of my life without Lihua…"
She purred and rubbed her face against him.
Don't be so gloomy early in the morning, human. The best way to forget your sadness is to serve this Queen wholeheartedly. So rise and shine and bring my food.
Wei blankly thought back to yesterday.
Divorce.
We are divorced now. I am not her husband anymore...She is not my wife anymore…
She is not my Lihua anymore…
