The 99th Divorce

The Ferris wheel slowly swung up as the horizon loomed not too far away.

Li Mosen watched as Li Jianyue’s eyes sparkled. At the same time, he again felt that someone was watching him.

He instinctively turned his head to investigate. He spotted without effort the cumbersome Kumamon Bear among the bustling crowd below.

The Kumamon Bear didn’t seem to be looking in their direction. With his basket in hand, he was busy peddling his wares.

“Wow, it’s so beautiful!” Li Jianyue exclaimed. “Look, Brother Mosen! You can see it!”

As the Ferris wheel gradually swung up, Li Jianyue’s excitement grew as the lavender field coming into view. “It’s stunning! There are so many lights! Oh my god! Look!”

Li Mosen quietly sat beside her.

Li Jianyue was sitting on the outer side of the seat and was awed by what she saw. “Look there! It looks like Little Red Riding Hood!”

Li Jianyue pointed to the themed lights in the amusement park. The lights were connected to form a line. The line outlined the image of the Little Red Riding Hood.

Beside the Little Red Riding Hood was the Grandmother Wolf. As Li Jianyue took in the whole scene, she realized that the amusement park was quite large.

The view from the Ferris wheel was very scenic. The glass was sparkling clean. The scenery in all four directions was pleasant to the eye.

“Wow!” Li Jianyue picked up her cell phone to take a photo. Just then, a thought popped up. “It’s so late, and we’re still out. You’re certain that you’ve notified Brother of our whereabouts?”

Since young, Li Jianyue had always used this form of address.

Li Jianqian was Brother, Li Mosen was Brother Mosen, and Yu Chulin was Brother Chu. She called her biological brother, just Brother. The others, she attached Brother to their names.

The way Li Jianyue called Li Mosen bothered quite a bit since young.

It seemed to him that Ersu did so to remind him repeatedly that he wasn’t a biological son of the family.

Over time, though, he thought it was a blessing in disguise.

He felt fortunate that she didn’t treat him as a biological brother.

Li Mosen nodded his head and said, “Yes.”

Feeling reassured, Li Jianyue continued clicking away, taking many shots of the scenery. Without notice, she turned her head. Smiling mischievously, she snapped a few photos of Li Mosen. “You look so cute with the wolf ears. I must share this picture with Brother.”

Li Mosen immediately stopped her with a curt “No.”

“What a pity. It’s such a nice picture. Everyone should see it!” Li Jianyue giggled. When she zoomed in on the image, she realized that Li Mosen looked great from every angle. All 360 degrees showed him to be dashing.

He looked like the legendary little wolf.

Li Jianyue quickly realized that, in her moment of carelessness, she had blurted out her thoughts.

She hurried covered her mouth when it dawned on her. Li Jianyue hastily searched for Li Jianqian’s WeChat contact. She wanted to send the picture to him.

Li Mosen grabbed the cell phone from her hands. “Don’t send it, or I’ll delete it.”

“Ah! Don’t do that!”

“So, don’t send it,” Li Mosen said, giving her a warning look. But, seeing Li Jianyue’s puppy-dog expression, he compromised. “But, you may use it as your wallpaper.”

Li Jianyue’s eyes turned into little crescents after Li Mosen gave her permission. “All right! I’ll use it as my wallpaper,” shed grinned.

She took her cell phone back from him and did as promised. Li Jianyue changed her wallpaper. Li Mosen was soon staring at her from the screen with his blue eyes. His lips were slightly curved. His short wavy hair made him look like a prince in a fairytale.

Only in this case, princes didn’t wear school uniforms.

Li Jianyue had a cheerful laugh as she took a screenshot. She posted it on her social media with the caption, “I changed my wallpaper.”

Li Mosen saw her mischievous grin and thought that something was wrong.

He tried to get hold of her cell phone. But Li Jianyue saw that coming and held on to it tightly. “I didn’t send it to Brother!”

She had merely posted it on her social media page.

Li Mosen was skeptical. When he turned his head and looked out, the Ferris wheel had already reached ground level.

The two of them got off the Ferris wheel. Li Mosen looked around instinctively for the Kumamon Bear.

This time, he was nowhere in sight.
