Over the next week, Gu Nian easily adapted to the rhythm of her new job and was busy almost every day.
The 28th was Thursday. Gu Nian asked for leave in advance and got up early to tidy up.
She put on exquisite makeup and put on her favorite dress.
This should be regarded as the final dignity for this marriage, right?
Lu Shiqian didn't stay at home last night, so she took a taxi to the Civil Affairs Bureau alone and stood by the flower bed at the door, waiting for him.
The light wind blew, and the chiffon floral dress swayed, revealing Gu Nian's pair of slender white calves.
The way she dressed today was almost the same as when she first met Lu Shiqian many years ago.
But the mood is completely opposite.
Her heart was pounding then, but now...
Gu Nian sighed softly and looked at her watch. The appointed time had passed and Lu Shiqian hadn't arrived yet.
She waited for another five minutes and had no choice but to call Lu Shiqian, "Why aren't you here yet?"
Lu Shiqian asked her, "What's wrong with you?"
"..."
Gu Nian was speechless for a moment, her hand holding the phone tightened unconsciously, and she said after a while: "I'm at the door of the Civil Affairs Bureau now. Didn't I agree to get divorced today?"
Lu Shiqian snorted, "There have been so many surgeries in the past two days, I was so busy that I forgot."
"...Come here now, I'll wait for you."
Lu Shiqian was silent for a second, "Unfortunately, today I have to go to the affiliated hospital of Beicheng Medical University, where there is an academic forum. I am already on the bus to Beicheng."
Gu Nian gritted her teeth: "Then why didn't you say anything when you promised to divorce?"
Lu Shiqian's voice seemed a little tired: "I gave you short notice this morning."
Gu Nian: "..."
She picked at her fingers, suppressed her emotions, and asked eagerly: "Then, when will you come back?"
Lu Shiqian's high-speed train seat was by the window, and the reflection of the scenery outside the window rushed past, making his deep eyes darker and darker.
He whispered: "The day after tomorrow."
Gu Nian curled his lips. The day after tomorrow was the weekend and the Civil Affairs Bureau was not working. So he would have to wait until next Monday at the earliest.
"Oh well."
Her voice sounded weak, as if she was a little angry and helpless.
Lu Shiqian frowned and asked unhappily: "Are you in a hurry?"
Her attitude was as if she wished she could move the Civil Affairs Bureau directly to her home, and the next second he came back, she would get the divorce certificate stamped and stamped.
Gu Nian was not in the mood to chat with him at the moment, so she hummed without emotion and cut off the call.
She turned her head and glanced at the Civil Affairs Bureau behind her, sighing silently.
Today's leave is for nothing.
Lu Shiqian hung up the phone, his expression still not very good.
He stared out the window and made no move for a long time.
Seeing that he had finished the call, the colleague next to him approached him and asked curiously: "Dr. Lu, isn't it planned that you don't need to go to the forum in Beicheng today?"
Lu Shiqian lowered his eyes and said calmly: "It was a temporary idea."
For a moment, no one spoke anymore, and it was eerily quiet.
Several fellow doctors sitting next to him felt that the atmosphere in the carriage suddenly became very cold, and they unconsciously cast their eyes on Lu Shiqian.
Lu Shiqian's slightly furrowed brows were reflected on the car window, and there was no unnecessary expression on his stern face.
It's unpredictable.
…
Gu Nian was let off the hook by Lu Shiqian in the morning, which caused her to be in low spirits and have random thoughts that day.
Lu Shiqian is really too self-righteous!
So self-centered!
Why should she wait for everything and just make do with it?
Not once or twice!
Even something as big as divorce should be done like this!
With a slumped face, Gu Nian put the documents in her hands on the table, still thinking, sure enough, this is the attitude of men towards women who don't care.
There was no regard for her schedule or her wishes at all.
When it was time to get off work, Gu Nian was still slumped in his chair, angry and didn't want to move.
The cell phone on the table suddenly rang. Gu Nian picked it up and looked at it, and was speechless.
It's Si Xue.
"Gu Nian, are you off work?" Si Xue's voice was gentle and polite, "I won't disturb you, right?"
"No, what's the matter?"
"I received the design drawings you sent yesterday. I would like to meet you and have a chat. Is that okay?"
Gu Nian was upset and didn't want to see Si Xue.
But helping her make clothes is something that I personally agreed to do...
Forget it, settle this matter quickly and get divorced.
After that, the old couple reunited as long as they wanted, and she didn't want to care about it anymore!
Gu Nian took a deep breath: "Okay."
When she arrived at the coffee shop, she saw Si Xue sitting by the window waving to her from a distance.
Gu Nian sat down, ordered a glass of iced Americano, and saw Si Xue looking at her with a smile.
Si Xue asked: "How are you adapting to your new company? It seems that you are in pretty good shape."
Gu Nian looked at Si Xue's gentle face and couldn't get angry anymore. He said: "It's not bad. After all, it's something within my major and it's easier to get started."
After a pause, she asked again: "But it's really surprising that you asked me today. I thought you went to Beicheng to attend an academic forum."
Si Xue glanced at her and asked curiously: "How do you know there is a forum in Beicheng?"
Gu Nian was stunned when he heard this, and for a moment he really didn't know how to answer.
Si Xue didn't pay attention, and said to himself: "That forum is not very important. Our hospital has sent a few residents there, and doctors above the attending physician level don't have to go."
"Oh, so..."
After hearing what she said, Gu Nian was even more confused. Then why did Lu Shiqian go?
Didn't he already get the title of deputy chief physician this year?
After a while, Si Xue went straight to the topic.
She took out her phone and flipped through the design drawings that Gu Nian sent her, and said with a smile: "I personally like these sets of clothes you designed. But I want to adjust the color tone, hoping to match Shi Qian's style.
Take some."
Gu Nian looked at the blush gradually appearing on her face and lowered her eyes without saying a word.
Si Xue continued: "I went to Shi Qian's house. Although I didn't see what kind of clothes he had in his wardrobe, I think the dressing style and decoration style of a person like him should be similar, what do you think?
"
Gu Nian nodded, said "Yeah", picked up the brush, lowered his head and began to write and draw seriously.
Si Xue took a closer look and found that she was actually classifying the decoration styles and colors of Lu Shiqian's home.
Black, white, gray, dark blue...
Si Xue narrowed her eyes.
She didn't seem to have said what color the decoration in Shi Qian's home was just now, right?
How could Gu Nian know?
When Si Xue asked, Gu Nian realized that his hands were faster than his brain just now.
She laughed awkwardly: "The last time I saw Dr. Lu, his dressing style was also simple. When you said that again, I roughly guessed the style and color of his home..."
Si Xue glanced at her with an inexplicable expression and smiled: "As expected of a designer, he is always so careful."
Looking at Gu Nian's face, she suddenly felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.
