The two people still stood at the door of the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Su An carefully put the divorce certificate into her bag, as if it were something precious.
The slight smile on his face never disappeared, always hanging on his lips.
Gu Jingchen just looked at her silently, his heart hurting to the point of numbness.
"Then... shall we separate here?"
Su An put the divorce certificate away and asked Gu Jingchen.
Gu Jingchen nodded silently, his hands hanging by his sides were already so tight that his knuckles turned white, but he couldn't help but feel a trace of expectation in his heart.
Will An An say something to him?
Can they meet again in the future?
Or...can we still be friends?
Gu Jingchen's heart was in a mess, waiting for Su An to speak.
Su An also noticed his abnormal mood, and his eyes were slightly suffocated.
Immediately afterwards, she only glanced at him twice, then turned around and left without saying another word.
She turned her back to Gu Jingchen and walked towards the other side of the road step by step.
Every step he took was extremely determined, without any hesitation or regret.
Now is the beginning of her new life.
Her brother is still waiting for her in their new home.
From now on, apart from her brother, the focus of her life will be only herself and no one else.
I won’t give anyone another chance to hurt her...
"call……"
Su An let out a long breath, thinking of the new life that was about to come, and subconsciously speeded up her pace.
Gu Jingchen, however, stood still and didn't move, as if he was frozen in place, watching helplessly as Su An walked further and further away.
The divorce certificate was still held in his hand, but for some reason it was inexplicably hot, as if his heart was about to be burned to ashes.
The eye sockets were also sore and astringent, as if something was going to flow out uncontrollably in the next second.
cry?
Gu Jingchen suddenly realized something, and subconsciously raised his hand to wipe his wet eyes, and then a look of bitterness and loneliness appeared on his face.
As far back as he can remember, he seems to have never cried again...
Now, do you have the urge to shed tears for An An?
Gu Jingchen's eyes flickered for a moment, and he saw that Su An had immediately reached the corner of the street and was about to disappear from his sight.
No!
Can't let her go!
Let him look at her for a little longer...
Even if it’s just for a little while!
Something flashed through Gu Jingchen's mind, and then he suddenly turned around and got into the car without saying a word, started the car and drove in the direction Su An left!
"An'an!!!"
Gu Jingchen lowered the window and parked the car beside Su An as quickly as possible.
"What's wrong?"
Su An didn't expect that he would come after her, so she stopped unexpectedly and looked at him in confusion.
Then I heard——
"I know there is a good restaurant nearby. Do you want to have lunch together?"
Gu Jingchen suggested very sincerely.
Su An was slightly startled, her eyes even more confused.
Have a meal?
Is this still necessary now?
More than this, she wanted to go back and see her brother as soon as possible.
Su An thought about it and was about to refuse when she heard Gu Jingchen say again, "Let's have a breakup meal together. This should be the last meal we have together..."
At the end of Gu Jingchen's words, his tone couldn't help but become a little hoarse, sounding inexplicably pitiful.
Su An paused after hearing this, and the words of rejection immediately stuck in her mouth, feeling a little hesitant in her heart.
Is it just...a breakup meal?
If it is regarded as the last happy ending between you and Gu Jingchen, then... there seems to be nothing wrong with it.
Anyway, they had already received the divorce certificate, so she had nothing to worry about.
Su An thought about it in her mind and nodded.
"good."
As she spoke, she opened the car door and got in, then skillfully pulled on the seat belt on the side.
Then he couldn't help but be slightly startled.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Gu Jingchen standing aside and was startled.
Su An is very familiar with Gu Jingchen's car.
This series of actions is almost all based on instinct.
But such "instinct" seems extremely ironic for two people who have just received their divorce certificate.
For a long time——
"Let's drive."
Su An took the initiative to break the silence and stared out the car window in front of her.
"Um."
Gu Jingchen responded and then started the car.
Neither of the two people spoke again.
Not long after, we arrived outside a very elegantly decorated restaurant.
Su An opened the door and got out of the car, and walked straight in without waiting for Gu Jingchen.
Gu Jingchen followed closely and asked the waiter to arrange a quiet window seat for the two of them.
The waiter handed over the menu, and Gu Jingchen took it as usual and looked at Su An again.
"Or should I have some?"
he asked gently.
In the past, Su An would give the right to order food to Gu Jingchen.
One is because she trusts his vision, and the other is because she likes to eat everything he picks.
But starting from today, she will never do this again.
No matter how small the matter is, she will never focus on Gu Jingchen.
"I'll do it myself."
Su An smiled and took the initiative to bring the menu.
Then he flipped through two pages and reported to the waiter some of his favorite dishes.
The taste is completely different from what Gu Jingchen ordered before.
Gu Jingchen listened quietly, his eyes couldn't help but follow her fingers as she flipped through the menu, but a turmoil arose in his heart.
The An An now... seems to be really different from the An An he knew before.
A lot has changed.
In the past, she would always listen to him.
That's why he ignored that she also had her own ideas and things she liked.
Never even asked proactively.
Now...it's too late.
Gu Jingchen had mixed feelings in his heart, and he couldn't help but feel a little lost for a moment.
It wasn't until the menu was handed to him that he suddenly came back to his senses and hurriedly took it, but he had no appetite and just ordered two dishes hastily.
The waiter wrote them down one by one and turned to leave.
The air became quiet again.
Gu Jingchen took the tea cup and poured Su An a cup of hot tea.
"Thanks."
Su An took it and thanked him lukewarmly.
Her tone was not as indifferent as it was when the two were not divorced, nor was she like the tenderness and caution she always showed in front of Gu Jingchen before.
Now I feel more calm.
Just treat it as an ordinary person whom I have known for many years.
"An'an, where do you choose to live? Is it convenient to travel around?"
Gu Jingchen found a topic and asked.
Su An paused for a moment, not wanting to tell him her address, so she said vaguely, "It has been arranged. The location is very good and it is very convenient to travel."
When Gu Jingchen heard this, he immediately pursed his lips, knowing that Su An didn't want him to know.
