Gu Nian went to find Lin Miao, but did not see Lu Shiqian again for the whole day.
When Lu Shiqian came over with food, Gu Nian and Lin Miao happened to be discussing what to eat for dinner, and they were both stunned for a moment.
"Look, I thought your company was very busy and wouldn't come over at night." Lin Miao's eyes turned around between the two of them, and suddenly her eyes lit up, "But I don't care, you two are right here.
Eat, look at your dad, I'm going to go to the restaurant to eat and get some fresh air."
After saying that, no matter how the two people reacted, they just took their share and ran away.
Suddenly there were only two people left in the ward, and it felt a little awkward for a moment.
Gu Nian secretly regretted it.
She really should have promised Aunt Lin to go home just now, so that the two of them would not feel uncomfortable meeting each other.
At least she feels uncomfortable now.
"Let's eat." Lu Shiqian had already opened all the lunch boxes and handed her a pair of chopsticks, "This food is good, let's give it a try."
"Um."
Gu Nian smelled the taste and felt that she really wanted to eat it, so she took the chopsticks and started eating slowly.
The ward was extremely quiet and relatively speechless.
It wasn't until he was almost done eating that the man's eloquent words reached Gu Nian's ears.
Lu Shiqian said: "Let's go to the Civil Affairs Bureau early tomorrow morning."
Gu Nian: "Okay."
After that, no one said a word.
Maybe it's because they all know that this time it is really coming to an end, and everyone will eventually take different paths, return to their roost when tired, and accept their fate.
When Lin Miao came back, she saw these two young men sitting on one side, each holding a mobile phone, and neither of them paid any attention to the other.
Is this a breakdown of the talks or no talks at all?
"You both go home and sleep tonight. No one is allowed to refuse, as long as I am here to accompany him. Let's go, let's go..."
As she spoke, she pulled the two of them up and pushed them towards the door.
Gu Nian and Lu Shiqian were pushed to the door and said helplessly: "Then if anything happens, please call us."
"Okay, can I still not know?" Lin Miao glared at her, "Pay attention to the injury on your head, and don't touch the water."
"I know."
When they returned to Luzhai, their elders were not here, so they naturally didn't have to pretend to sleep in another room.
Lu Shiqian took his clothes from the bedroom and looked at Gu Nian, "I'm going to sleep in the guest room."
"Yeah." Gu Nian responded, lowered his eyes and stood aside to make way for him.
Lu Shiqian looked at the top of her hair, his faint eyes like the untouched deep sea of the universe, heavy and lonely.
After a while, he walked out of the room.
Gu Nian immediately closed the door and turned around to hold it back. She put her hand on her heart and told herself that tomorrow... tomorrow she would get divorced.
…
Early the next morning, Gu Nian packed up and went downstairs. Lu Shiqian was sitting on the sofa in the living room. It seemed that he had been waiting for a long time.
"Let's leave now."
Lu Shiqian stood up and looked at her with a frown, "Why don't you eat something first? Breakfast is on the table."
"No." Gu Nian shook his head, "I'm going to the hospital today to change my dressing. I'll go eat with Aunt Lin later."
She didn't want to have to eat the breakfast made by this man on the last day. He had made it for her so many times before. Thinking of those memories, what if she got greedy?
"That's okay." Lu Shiqian didn't force it. He arranged his clothes and took the lead, "Let's go then."
Today at the Civil Affairs Bureau, there are many more divorced people than last time, but they came early and were at the front of the queue.
The staff seemed to think they looked familiar and looked back and forth several times.
"Have you been here before?"
Finally I asked.
Maybe they were used to it, but Gu Nian inevitably felt embarrassed, "We...we were delayed by other things last time, so we didn't finish it."
There was no expression on Lu Shiqian's face, not even the slightest bit of discomfort.
The staff member said, "Give me the marriage certificate" while operating the computer.
Lu Shiqian handed it over.
Gu Nian looked at the two red notebooks, and for a moment she forgot what they looked like. She remembered that in the first two days of her wedding, she had to take them out and read them twice a day, and she couldn't do it for the precious ones.
And now...
It needs to be returned and replaced with another one of the same color. Except for the words, the photos inside are also changed from a double photo to a single photo.
"Why do you suddenly want a divorce?" The staff member looked at the divorce certificate and asked, "Is the relationship really irreparable?"
This question stirred up quite a stir in the hearts of both of them.
Maybe for other people, it is a question whether the relationship can be repaired, but for the two of them, there is no relationship at all, so how can there be any talk of repair?
Gu Nian couldn't help but glance sideways at the man next to him.
He frowned, crossed his hands on the table, moved his fingers gently, and his eyes seemed to fall on a certain point on his fingertips, looking a little impatient.
Gu Nian withdrew his gaze and said, "We have already considered it."
As for feelings, she couldn't answer.
The staff member raised his head and saw that the two people in front of him were both good-looking, but why was it that while the woman was talking, the man acted like a mute.
She glanced at Lu Shiqian with a slightly dissatisfied look and didn't want to persuade him anymore. What's the use of keeping such a man?
"Now that you've thought about it, fill out the forms, take photos, and have you discussed the divorce agreement? If you haven't printed it out, you can print it over there." After the staff member finished speaking patiently, he handed over two forms.
"Okay." Gu Nian took it over, placed one in front of Lu Shiqian, and filled it out himself.
Lu Shiqian looked at her serious look, as if she was taking an important exam. She wrote so sincerely, as if she was not getting a divorce, but more like an interview.
It seems that she is really looking forward to this day.
His hand holding the pen loosened and tightened, and after several repetitions, he finally dropped it, and the pen tip made a swishing sound on the paper, which made people feel anxious.
Gu Nian filled it out carefully. When she saw the "Are you pregnant?" column, she glanced to the side with a guilty conscience and checked "No"...
