One minute later——
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 some precious thing.
The faint smile on his face never faded and remained on his lips.
Gu Jingchen just looked at her silently, his heart aching and numb.
"So...we're going to separate here?"
Su An put the divorce certificate away and asked Gu Jingchen.
Gu Jingchen nodded silently. His hands hanging by his side were already clenched until his knuckles turned white, but he still couldn't help but feel a little bit of anticipation in his heart.
Will An An say something to him?
Will they be able to meet again in the future?
Or... can we still be friends?
Gu Jingchen was feeling confused and waited for Su An to speak.
Su An also noticed his unusual mood, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
Then, she just looked at him twice more, and without saying another word, she really turned around and left.
She turned her back to Gu Jingchen and walked across the street step by step.
Every step was taken with great determination, without any hesitation or regret.
Now is the beginning of her new life.
Her brother was still waiting for her at their home.
From then on, apart from her brother, there would only be herself at the heart of her life, and no one else.
I won't give anyone else the chance to hurt her...
"call……"
Su An let out a long sigh, thinking about the future life, and subconsciously quickened his pace.
Gu Jingchen stood there without moving, as if he was fixed in place, watching Su An walk further and further away.
The divorce certificate was still in his hand, and for some reason it felt inexplicably hot, as if it was going to burn his heart to ashes.
My eyes felt sore and bitter, as if something would flow out uncontrollably in the next second.
cry?
Gu Jingchen suddenly realized something and subconsciously raised his hand to wipe his wet eyes, then his face showed a look of bitterness and loneliness.
Ever since he could remember, it seemed like he had never cried again...
Would Ruo actually have the urge to cry for An An?
Gu Jingchen's eyes flickered for a moment, and he saw that Su An was about to turn the corner and was about to disappear from his sight.
No!
Can't let her go!
Let him look at her a little longer...
Even if it's just for a little while!
Something suddenly 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 rushed towards the direction where Su An left!
“An An!!!”
Gu Jingchen lowered the car window and parked the car next to Su An as quickly as possible.
"What's wrong?"
Su An didn't expect him to chase after him. He stopped in surprise and looked at him in confusion.
Then I heard——
"I know there's a nice restaurant nearby. Do you want to have lunch together?"
Gu Jingchen suggested very sincerely.
Su An was slightly stunned, and his eyes were even more puzzled.
Have a meal?
Is this still necessary now?
Compared to this, she wanted to go back and see her brother as soon as possible.
Su An was thinking about it and was about to refuse when he heard Gu Jingchen say again, "Let's have a farewell dinner together. This should be our last meal together..."
When Gu Jingchen finished speaking, his tone couldn't help but become a little hoarse, sounding inexplicably pitiful.
Su An paused when he heard this, and the words of refusal were stuck on his lips, and he felt a little hesitant.
Is it just... a farewell dinner?
If this is the final perfect ending between me and Gu Jingchen, then...it seems there's nothing wrong with it.
Anyway, they have already obtained a divorce certificate, so she has nothing to worry about.
Su An pondered it over in his mind and nodded.
"good."
As she spoke, she opened the car door and got in, then skillfully fastened the seat belt beside her.
Then he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Gu Jingchen standing beside him was also stunned for a moment.
Su An is very familiar with Gu Jingchen's car.
This series of actions were almost entirely instinctive.
But such "instinct" seems extremely ironic for two people who have just received their divorce certificates.
A while——
"Let's drive."
Su An took the initiative to break the silence and stared out the car window in front of him.
"Um."
Gu Jingchen responded and then started the car.
Neither of them spoke again.
Not long after, they arrived outside a very elegantly decorated restaurant.
Su An pushed the door open and got out of the car. Without waiting for Gu Jingchen, he walked straight in.
Gu Jingchen followed closely behind 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.
"Shall I have some?"
He asked gently.
In the past, Su An would give the authority to order food to Gu Jingchen.
Firstly, it was because she trusted his judgment, and secondly, she liked everything he picked.
But from that day on, she would no longer be like this.
No matter how small the matter is, she will no longer make Gu Jingchen the center of her affairs.
"I'll do it myself."
Su An smiled and took the menu.
Then he casually flipped through two pages and asked the waiter to tell him a few 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 his heart was filled with turmoil.
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 the fact that she also had her own ideas and things she liked.
Never even asked.
Now... it's too late.
Gu Jingchen felt mixed emotions and couldn't help but be absent-minded for a moment.
It was not until the menu was handed to him that he suddenly came to his senses and took it hurriedly. However, he had no appetite and only ordered two dishes in a hurry.
The waiter wrote down everything and turned to leave.
The air became quiet again.
Gu Jingchen took the teacup and poured a cup of hot tea for Su An.
"Thanks."
Su An took it and thanked him indifferently.
Her tone was not as indifferent as when they were not divorced, nor was it as gentle and cautious as she always showed in front of Gu Jingchen.
Now I feel more at ease.
Just treat it as an ordinary person whom I have known for many years.
"An An, where did you choose to live? Is it convenient to get around?"
Gu Jingchen found a topic and asked.
Su An paused, not wanting to tell him his address, so he said ambiguously, "It has been arranged. The location is very good and it is very convenient to travel."
Upon hearing this, Gu Jingchen immediately pursed his lips, knowing that Su An didn't want him to know.
A lingering pain arose in his heart.
