The warm car parked early in front of the private school where my daughter attended, and I stood by the car waiting.
Wen Keyan walked out of the school gate and saw Wen Nuan at the first glance. He quickly walked over and held her hand, "Mom."
The little girl is almost nine years old. She has a high ponytail and is becoming more and more beautiful.
Wen Nuan held her daughter's hand, touched her head gently, and helped her open the car door, "We went to grandma's house today, and grandma cooked you a lot of your favorite dishes."
"Okay, I miss my grandma too."
Wen Keyan got into the car and put down his schoolbag, "Is uncle at home?"
"at home."
Wen Keyan looked expectant when he heard that his uncle was at home.
She likes her uncle very much because he loves her very much.
The little girl didn't ask Gu Yanzhi.
Because he called her in advance and told her that he had to go on a very important business trip and could not come to pick her up.
Wen Nuan was driving the car, Wen Keyan was wearing a seat belt, leaning forward, lying on the passenger seat and sharing with her mother what happened at school this month.
Soon we arrived at Wen’s mother’s residence.
After Nuan Nuan parked the car, his brother Wen Lin was already waiting downstairs. He quickly came up to him and opened the door of the back seat.
Wen Keyan called sweetly, "Uncle."
Wen Lin patted his niece's head with a loving look on his face. He held Wen Keyan's hand as he got out of the car, and held her heavy schoolbag in his other hand. He put it on his shoulder. He looked up at Wen Wen who got out of the car and shouted, "Sister."
Wen Lin felt very sorry for his sister Wen Nuan. He owed her so much.
My mother is a typical traditional woman. She gave birth to a daughter for the first time, so she felt sorry for the Wen family and did not continue the family lineage.
So even though she was in poor health and her family was very poor, she insisted on having a second child just to have a son.
He was born when his sister was six years old.
Not long after he was born, his father died unexpectedly, which made the already poor family even worse.
My mother was in poor health, and when my father passed away, my sister was forced to grow up overnight.
She and her mother shoulder a heavy family burden.
My sister was born in a family that values sons over daughters, and was instilled with wrong ideas by her mother.
She has always lived for this family and him, taking this family and him as her responsibility.
Habitually giving, never considering herself, and wronging herself.
Nuan Nuan looked at her brother who was a head and a half taller than her standing in front of her.
Subconsciously, I reached out to touch his head like I did when I was a child, but he was too tall and couldn't touch him.
Wen Lin took the initiative to bend down and let a warm hand fall on his head.
This touch made Wen Lin's eyes turn red.
Wen Nuan patted his younger brother on the shoulder, knowing what he was thinking, and deliberately teased him, "You brat, you already have a girlfriend, your eyes are red, and you are not afraid of your girlfriend laughing at you. Ke Yan and I are both hungry.
, hurry upstairs."
"Okay." Wen Lin raised his hand and hugged Nuan Nuan's shoulder. The palm of his hand was so thin that it made him feel distressed.
…
When the three of them arrived home, Wen's mother had already prepared a table full of dishes, most of which were warm and delicious.
"grandmother."
Wen Keyan changed her shoes and rushed to Mother Wen's arms. Mother Wen kissed her granddaughter's face in a rare way, "Come, wash your hands and eat."
The family of four washed their hands and went to the table.
"Sister, please eat more."
At the dinner table, Wen Lin kept putting dishes on Ke Yan and Wen Wen, wishing that he could make Wen Wen gain a few pounds with one meal.
After dinner, Wen Lin took Ke Yan to see the gift he bought for her.
After graduating from college, he did not choose to continue his studies abroad.
He didn't use the back door of his sister's personal relationship with Sister Mu. He applied for the Fu Group based on his own strength.
I became a full-time employee half a year ago and have been working very hard to support the Wen family.
…
Nuan Nuan came out of the kitchen and went to Wen Lin's room to look for Ke Yan.
While he was thinking about how to tell her about his divorce, Ke Yan saw the warmth coming in and threw himself into her arms, "Mom."
"Uncle just told me that you want to divorce dad."
Wen Nuan's pupils trembled slightly, and he lowered his eyes to look at the daughter in his arms.
Wen Keyan raised his head slightly in her arms and looked at Wen Nuan, "Mom, although I can't take care of you now, I can take care of myself, so you don't have to worry about me."
"I hope you can be happy and never wrong yourself for anyone again."
When she was four years old, she didn't understand anything.
She simply thought that Uncle Gu was kind to them, so her mother chose to marry Uncle Gu and let him be her father.
When she chose primary school at the age of six, she already knew that her mother chose to marry Uncle Gu in large part because of her.
She likes to take care of her father and her grandparents, but her mother is her favorite.
She will support her mother no matter what decision she makes.
"Sister, don't worry. I am in this family, and Ke Yan is also my uncle. Don't worry when you go out to relax, I will take care of everything. I will take good care of my mother, and I will take good care of Ke Yan."
He sincerely hopes that his sister can be more selfish, think more about herself, and live a happier life.
"good."
Wen Nuan's eyes were red, he looked at his brother and hugged his precious daughter tightly.
…
Nuan Nuan and Wen Lin played with Ke Yan for a whole weekend. In the evening, Nuan Nuan sent Ke Yan to school.
Wen Keyan kissed Wen Nuan and hugged her affectionately, "Mom, I will study well in school and take good care of myself. Don't worry about me. You must be happy. The baby loves you."
She let go of Wen Wen, took a step back, raised her hands and made a heart sign to Wen Wen.
Wen Keyan has stopped calling himself baby since he was five years old.
Hearing her daughter's words, Wen Wen's eyes turned red, she hugged Wen Keyan and kissed her.
The mother and daughter hugged each other for a while before reluctantly separating.
Wen Keyan turned around and walked towards school. Before entering, he turned around and waved to Nuan Nuan, "Mom, have fun, I'll wait for you when you come back."
Until Wen Keyan disappeared, Nuan Nuan stood there for a while before turning around and getting in the car to go home.
At night, she was packing her luggage in her room, and her cell phone vibrated on the table.
She got up and went to get her phone. It was a WeChat message from "husband".
From the time the two decided to divorce, to signing the divorce agreement, to today, she has always forgotten to change her title. Looking at the note, she couldn't hide a trace of sadness in her heart.
He sat down on the chair and clicked on the WeChat message sent by Gu Yanzhi: [See you at the Civil Affairs Bureau at 9:30 tomorrow morning.]
A concise and concise WeChat message is like a marriage that has come to an end without emotion, indifferent and alienated.
No reluctance, no attachment.
Nuan Nuan held the phone with both hands and his eyes fell on that word.
His fingers stopped on the keyboard and didn't move for a while.
There was a lot she wanted to say, but she didn't seem to know where to start.
Finally, after a long silence, he typed out: [OK].
Click to send.
After pressing the send button, I held the phone and sat quietly for a while, but there was no response.
After a long time, Nuan Nuan put the phone back on the table, stood up, returned to the suitcase, and continued to pack her luggage.
After packing it up, zip it up.
The sound was a bit harsh, which made her heart feel a little uncomfortable.
With very slow movements, pull the zipper up.
Over the phone, Gu Yanzhi was sitting in the car downstairs of Wen Nuan's house.
The car was hidden in the darkness, and his eyes were always on his mobile phone.
In fact, he had a lot to say to Wen Nuan. He had not seen her again since the divorce was filed.
Miss her very much.
Want to see her very much.
However, when they know that they can't go back, showing too much emotion will only make each other more uncomfortable.
Seeing the word "good", Gu Yanzhi put down his phone and looked at the warm window through the car window.
Occasionally, when Wen Nuan moves around, the glass will print the outline of her slender and thin figure.
Gu Yanzhi took a long puff of cigarette.
After marriage, he almost gave up smoking.
Only occasionally, when I feel particularly depressed, I smoke a few.
At this time, Gu Yanzhi was smoking too fast and choked on the smoke.
A violent coughing sound sounded in the car.
He clasped one hand tightly on the steering wheel and covered his chest with the other.
My heart hurts as if it is about to be coughed out and torn apart.
Smoke can numb people's nerves, but it cannot numb people's soul.
Let go, it turns out it really hurts.
…
Early the next morning, Wen Nuan got up after not sleeping well and put on light makeup to cover the obvious cyan color under her eyes to make her complexion look better.
While I was changing clothes, there was a knock on the bedroom door.
"Nuannuan, Yanzhi is here."
Hearing Gu Yan come to the door, Wen Nuan was stunned for a moment.
In the WeChat message last night, she thought the two would meet directly outside the Civil Affairs Bureau.
"Come right away."
Nuan Nuan responded and changed clothes faster.
Standing in front of the bedroom door, Wen Nuan took a deep breath before opening the bedroom door.
Hearing the sound, Gu Yanzhi, who was standing in the living room, looked over and met warm eyes.
"I'll come and pick you up."
"I'm fine."
The two said in unison.
Wen Nuan could tell at a glance that Gu Yanzhi didn't look very good, and couldn't help but feel his heart twitch.
Mother Wen stood aside, looking at the two of them, her eyes red.
During the four years when Nuannuan "died", it was Lu Jingxing who helped take care of her and Lin'er.
If we talk about preference, she was initially biased towards Lu Jingxing.
When Nuan Nuan decided to marry Yan, she was quite worried that Nuan Nuan would be wronged in the Gu family with Ke Yan.
Unexpectedly, neither Yanzhi nor the Gu family had anything to say to Nuan Nuan Ke Yan in recent years.
Now that a good marriage has come to an end, Mother Wen feels unspeakably distressed.
"Mom - Auntie, let's go now. I'll see you again when I have time."
The word "Mom" came out of my mouth.
The moment he shouted, Gu Yanzhi changed his words temporarily.
The sound of "Auntie" made Wen's mother unable to hold back the tears in her eyes.
She immediately turned her head away and responded with a choked voice.
Wen Nuan also felt uncomfortable in his heart. He took the bag on one side and quickly followed Gu Yanzhi out.
As soon as the door closed, Mother Wen's tears rolled out uncontrollably.
…
Nuan Nuan got into Gu Yanzhi's car.
We were speechless all the way to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
On the way, both Gu Yanzhi and Wen Nuan were hesitant to speak.
In less than a week, I felt relatively speechless and nothing could be said.
Park the car.
The two got out of the car one after another.
Standing outside the Civil Affairs Bureau, Nuan Nuan looked at the door not far away. After she decided to get the certificate with Yanzhi, she never thought that she would walk into the Civil Affairs Bureau again.
"The appointment time has come, let's go in."
Gu Yanzhi took the lead and walked inside.
Nuan Nuan followed slowly.
The two entered the Civil Affairs Bureau and sat down.
Gu Yanzhi first took out the marriage certificate, divorce agreement and his own documents and put them on the table.
Nuan Nuan pressed his hand on the bag and paused for a few seconds before taking the ID from the bag and placing it side by side with Gu Yanzhi's.
The staff handles many marriages and divorces every day.
The business proficient person started to handle it for two people.
Gu Yanzhi knew that Wen Nuan had plans to travel, so he said hello in advance, skipped the divorce cooling-off period, and directly applied for a divorce certificate for them.
I left home clean and had no property problems.
No children.
The process went very quickly.
"Pop" twice.
The marriage certificate becomes a divorce certificate.
Looking at the divorce certificate, Wen Nuan's eyes couldn't help but turn red.
The two of them were the same when they came, and they were one behind the other when they left.
I walked out of the office and looked at the people waiting in the lobby with number plates.
Some people have indifferent faces because they are waiting for divorce, and some people have sweet and expectant faces because they are waiting for marriage.
Different people have different stories.
Four years passed in a flash between her and Yanzhi.
Walk out of the hall and stand at the door of the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Gu Yanzhi stood at the door, his steps obviously paused.
The same place, the same location reminded him of four years ago.
The day he and Nuan Nuan received their certificates.
In this position, he embraced the warmth with joy, and at that moment, he seemed to own the whole world.
After all, if it's not yours, it's not yours.
Wen Nuan stood next to Gu Yanzhi, holding the divorce certificate tightly in his hands.
She also remembered the day she received the certificate.
He turned his head to look at Gu Yanzhi, his eyes slightly red, "Yanzhi, can you hug me again?"
Gu Yanzhi's eyes turned red.
Looking at the warmth, he stretched out his arms and took her into his arms gently and tenderly.
His chin rested on the top of her hair, wanting to rub her into his body.
Nuan Nuan also hugged Gu Yanzhi tightly, closing her eyes and leaning into his arms to feel the warmth in his arms for the last time.
There is an emotion that has nothing to do with love.
…
Early the next morning, Nuan Nuan appeared at Jiangcheng Airport with a simple suitcase in his hand.
Mu Chenxi came to see her off, stretched out her arms to hug Nuan Nuan tightly, and warned: "You have to take good care of yourself when you are alone outside, but I will take care of it for you. Don't worry, we will wait for you to come back."
"Thank you, Sister Chen Xi."
Warmth hugged Mu Chenxi back.
Following the flight reminder, Nuan Nuan let go of Mu Chenxi, picked up the small suitcase, turned around and walked inside.
Standing at the security checkpoint, he turned around and waved to Mu Chenxi.
After she entered, Mu Chenxi turned and left.
She saw Gu Yanzhi and walked over, "Aren't you going to see her off?"
"No."
Gu Yanzhi stood quietly where Wen Nuan couldn't see her, watching her figure disappear from his sight.
He didn't dare to step forward, fearing that he would be unable to help but leave the person behind.
It is really difficult to let the one you love leave you.
Mu Chenxi did not dissuade him, turned around and left first.
Gu Yanzhi didn't leave, he just leaned there quietly until the warm flight took off, then he turned around and left.
I got in the car, picked up my phone, entered a number that I had never called but was engraved in my mind, edited a text message, and clicked send.
…
In the Lu family, Lu Jingxing is preparing breakfast for his son in the kitchen.
The mobile phone rang outside.
Lawrence Lu immediately picked up his phone and sent it to the kitchen, "Dad, you have a text message."
Lu Jingxing took the phone and found a message from an unknown number. There was no signature and only one sentence: [Her first stop is Dali.]
