"Zhou Lian possessed a slender waist, while Song Ci's was so slender it couldn't even fit in one hand. Despite their three-year marriage, they eventually parted ways and both thrived independently. When Song Ci spoke of her former husband, she remarked, "You have wealth and good looks, but your time with me was fleeting." In contrast, Zhou Lian described his ex-wife, saying, "During the day, she was strong-willed, but her voice would soften in the evening." When queried about their relationship, Zhou Lian drew on a cigarette, his eyes clouded with smoke, yet he still showed a disdainful smile, "All I can recall of her is that tiny waist." Unexpectedly, the captivating figure he once knew reappeared before him, now holding someone else's hand and calling another man her boyfriend. Zhou Lian stared at her in silence for a long while, then suddenly let out a low sob. Placing his hand on the wall to block her path, his voice rasped, "You're through with me, right? If you truly mean it, you don't want me anymore?"
