Chapter 12: What Z Wrote
Mingzhou read until the window turned grey.
He read the first year, and the second, and the night the comments stopped for six weeks.
He read the night before Yuheng's wedding, which said only: I am being married on Saturday. I would rather be listening.
He read it with the pages spread in a ring around him on the study carpet and a hand pressed over his mouth.
At half past six, the door opened.
Yuheng stood in the doorway in a creased suit, with a travel bag in one hand and his tie hanging loose.
He had not slept.
His eyes went to the open drawer, then to the pages, then to Mingzhou's face.
He put the bag down.
"Ou Jin called me at two," he said. His voice was rough. "He saw the light. He thought I should come back."
"You flew all night," Mingzhou said.
"Yes."
"For this," Mingzhou said.
"For you," Yuheng said.
Mingzhou held up one page.
"Z," he said.
Yuheng did not move.
"It's you," Mingzhou said.
"Yes."
"For four years."
"For four years and two months." Yuheng's mouth twisted. "I wrote the first one on a night I would rather forget. I had a laptop, a hotel room, and nothing in my head but the engine fire."
"A friend of a friend had sent me a link," Yuheng said. "It had nine plays."
"Nine."
"I made it ten."
Mingzhou's eyes filled.
"I didn't know it was you," Yuheng said. "I want you to understand that."
"I did not marry you for the music. When your father put your name on the paper, I thought it was the worst day of my year."
"A boy sold for a debt," Yuheng said, "and I was the one buying."
"You signed."
"I signed. I meant to be kind. I meant to leave you alone for two years and let you go."
