Volume 1 Chapter 121 Farewell and a Fresh Start
Early in the morning, Zhu Sheng and Gu Chiye arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau on time.
Compared to the excitement a month ago, this time there wasn't such a big fuss.
Although a few paparazzi can still be seen lurking, the public is now mostly focused on a few culprits.
There are more reporters outside the court and police station than here.
This time, Zhu Sheng was still wearing the same sportswear, standing lazily at the door of the reception hall, checking his phone.
Gu Chiye took off his suit and changed into sportswear similar to Zhu Sheng's.
From a distance, the two didn't look like they were here to get a divorce, but rather like a couple out on a date.
Seeing Gu Chiye coming, Zhu Sheng put his phone back in his pocket and greeted him.
Gu Chiye nodded silently in response.
The two walked into the divorce reception window.
Zhu Sheng seemed to be in a good mood.
On the way, she kindly asked about Gu Chiye's health.
"You were injured pretty badly before. I thought you might not be able to come today."
"It's okay. As long as the person I'm meeting is you, I will wake up and see you even if I become a vegetable."
Gu Chiye answered with a smile, his tone calm and relaxed, but there was always a hint of worry between his brows.
Today is the last day.
After that, they were no longer husband and wife.
Gu Chiye felt bitter, but agreed that this was the best outcome.
No matter what their past is like, everyone will eventually grow up to be what they should be.
Some staff members of the Civil Affairs Bureau recognized the two men.
They gathered in twos and threes to steal glances at the couple who were the talk of the show.
"Hey, I thought we might not end up getting divorced."
"Hey, look at the way they faced the criminals. Even people who have celebrated their golden wedding anniversary may not be able to have that kind of tacit understanding."
"What a pity, why can't we try again?"
Listening to these people's whispers, Gu Chiye and Zhu Sheng smiled at each other.
That cooperation made them realize that each other was a comrade worthy of reliance.
That is enough.
Passing through the noisy hall of the Civil Affairs Bureau, they came to the window for obtaining the divorce certificate.
The staff was cautious and followed the work process, but still had to make a final verbal confirmation.
"So, even after a month of cooling off, you're still determined to get a divorce?"
Zhu Sheng answered decisively, "Yes."
Gu Chiye followed behind and echoed in a low voice: "Yes..."
"Okay, I understand. The divorce certificate will be issued next. I hope you will be happier in the future."
In just a few minutes, the divorce procedures were completed.
Zhu Sheng happily held the divorce certificate and looked at it over and over again, his face almost beaming with smiles.
Although it was only a short month, so many meaningful things were done.
Now almost everything has come to an end.
Divorced successfully.
Finished cutting ties with the garbage family.
The Green Tea White Moonlight character who opposed her collapsed and was completely ashamed to face anyone.
The life-threatening variety show ended early.
Those old beasts who wanted to kill her were completely defeated, and the masterminds behind the scenes all received the punishment they deserved.
The most important point is -
She's still alive!
In the future, you can live freely in this peaceful and prosperous world.
Looking at Zhu Sheng's happy expression, even Gu Chiye, who was feeling regretful, felt a little better.
But on second thought, there is endless regret.
"Are you so happy?" Gu Chiye asked with a wry smile.
"Um."
Zhu Sheng nodded happily, completely unaware of Gu Chiye's sad mood.
The two walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau together. Gu Chiye, who didn't want to separate, found another excuse.
"Where are you going next? To the brokerage firm? Do you want me to take you there?"
"No, I just want to stroll around. You should go back to work. The whole Gu family is counting on you, the patient."
Zhu Sheng said goodbye politely and turned to leave.
After taking a few steps, Gu Chiye's voice came from behind again.
"Zhu Sheng, do I still have a chance to pursue you?"
Zhu Sheng was shocked.
Turning around, I saw Gu Chiye who could no longer hide his sadness.
At this moment, he put aside all his dignity.
That arrogant face was now covered with tears, and only humble pleading remained in his eyes.
Zhu Sheng's eyes widened in shock.
Gu Chiye, actually cried?
Is it because of their divorce?
But, hasn't he always agreed to it?
Zhu Sheng was a little panicked for a moment.
She is a person who always responds to soft words rather than hard ones.
She can wield guns and sticks, and beating up scumbags and green tea mistresses is no problem either.
But in both his past and present lives, Zhu Sheng has never had true love with anyone else.
During the show, she was aware of Gu Chiye's good intentions.
However, with the experience of the original owner in mind, she dared not develop any emotional relationship with Gu Chiye again.
After a month of getting along, she began to trust and feel touched by Gu Chiye, but these were still very different from love.
But how could Gu Chiye fall in love with me in such a short time?
Looking at Zhu Sheng who was in a dilemma, Gu Chiye quickly realized that his words were too sudden.
He frowned and asked again cautiously.
"Would you be disgusted by my presence?"
Zhu Shengguo shook his head: "No."
At this moment, a hint of joy appeared on Gu Chiye's face.
"That's good, Zhu Sheng. Even if you don't have any feelings for me now, it doesn't matter, as long as you don't reject me being around you."
This is what he really thinks.
Even though Zhu Sheng's feelings for her have not yet reached the level of love, as long as they can continue to meet, there will be unlimited opportunities in the future.
Zhu Sheng has been pursuing me for so many years since high school.
After marriage, I suffered so many years of cold treatment.
Finally, Gu Chiye realized how good she was.
So why can't Gu Chiye do the same thing again?
If one year doesn’t work, then five years. If five years doesn’t work, then ten years. If ten years doesn’t work, then a lifetime.
One day, I will be able to make Zhu Sheng believe in my feelings.
Gu Chiye wiped the tears from his face and smiled with relief.
"I'm fine, Zhu Sheng, do whatever you want from now on.
Just don't forget that I've always been your strongest supporter."
Zhu Sheng didn't know what Gu Chiye was going through, but she understood that everything could be left to time.
Maybe one day in the future, she will understand more clearly what it means for her to come to this world and meet Gu Chiye.
Zhu Sheng took a deep breath and said sincerely.
"I'm not your backup, I'm your comrade. We're also friends for life and death. If you're in danger, I'll definitely risk my life to help you."
"Um."
Gu Chiye agreed lightly, no longer bothering himself with the divorce certificate in front of him.
In his view, this certificate is a severance of each other's past.
From now on, both Zhu Sheng and Gu Chiye have been reborn.
They still have enough time to build new relationships and participate in each other's lives.
After all, the two of them now have a good enough starting point.
Well, let's start with our comrades!
