Chapter 118 Heartache
They stayed at Yu's house until the end of the New Year holiday.
On New Year's Eve, they didn't go outside to set off fireworks. Ji Yanxing held her and sat on the swing in her room, insisting on waiting with her until midnight. "Do you have the custom of staying up all night?"
Yu Nian nestled in his arms and asked casually. Ji Yanxing wrapped her tightly in the blanket and said calmly, "It never happened before."
He hadn't done that before, because no one had ever stayed up with him to celebrate the New Year. Yu Nian pursed her lips and looked up at him, "Don't play the victim."
"..." Ji Yanxing lowered his eyes, "You feel miserable for me just because of what I said casually. Do you feel too sorry for me?"
Yu Nian: "...Why do you have to feel sorry for yourself? There are many people in this world who are more miserable and unfortunate than you. If you want others to feel sorry for you, how can others live?"
Born in the Ji family, there is indeed no family affection, but for children from poor families, family affection is a luxury. There are many people who have neither money nor love, but he at least has power and status, and he can make anyone he doesn't like go away. Still need to feel sorry for him, shouldn't everyone else just die?
Seeing her indignant expression, Ji Yanxing couldn't help but curl his thin lips, "Mrs. Ji, don't you know that the more people fear something, the more they emphasize it?"
Yu Nian's heart skipped a beat.
Ji Yanxing's smile deepened and he changed the subject: "Are you planning to tell mom and dad about our divorce?"
"Let's talk about it after we get the certificate." Yu Nian was actually very worried that her parents would stop her.
To some extent, she was a person who did what she wanted. She had never thought of asking her parents for their opinions on such a big matter as divorce, and would only tell them after it was completely over.
This is undoubtedly a headache. Wanting He Manlian to accept her divorce from Ji Yanxing... Yu Nian had a headache just thinking about it. Ji Yanxing lowered his eyes and ran his fingers through her long hair, "What are your plans after the divorce?"
"Work hard and live a good life," Yu Nian paused, "Maybe you'll meet someone you like and fall in love with them."
Ji Yanxing's eyes immediately turned cold, and he said mockingly: "You're thinking too far ahead."
"..." He didn't ask her about her plans, she just told the truth.
He wouldn't think that she would be a widow for him forever.
Although she would probably not love anyone else as much as she loved him, she was only 28 years old, well... pretty and rich, so it shouldn't be difficult for her to meet someone she liked again.
After being sarcastically scolded by him, Yu Nian ignored him.
Ji Yanxing didn't ask any more questions, for fear that he would ask something that would cause a quarrel with her, so he simply leaned over and kissed her.
After the divorce, I won’t be able to kiss her legitimately for a long time.
The more he thought about it, the more devoted Ji Yan became to the relationship, as if he wanted to make up for what he had lost after the divorce.
During this period, he often asked for kisses for no reason. Yu Nian had gotten used to it because she had promised him before and she didn't refuse.
The balcony window was closed, so the cold wind couldn't come in. Moreover, she was covered with a thick blanket. After hugging and kissing for a long time, her body was warm, not cold at all in the winter. He deliberately made her breathless, and when she glared at him, he would let her go like a child who had succeeded in a prank. When she recovered her breath and was about to scold him, he kissed her again.
They kissed like this for an unknown amount of time, when suddenly, there was a loud "bang" in the sky, and huge, brilliant fireworks broke through the inky black night sky.
Ji Yanxing hugged her from behind. Yu Nian looked up. The first firework emitted tiny sparks of fire, but it did not fall immediately. Instead, it dispersed into new fireworks.
Yu Nian tilted her head back, her eyes unblinking, afraid of missing the beauty of the moment.
"Nian Nian, Happy New Year," his deep voice came into my ears, "This is our fourth year together."
Yu Nian's eyes moved, but he did not look back, and kept looking up at the fireworks.
She watched the fireworks. Ji Yanxing watched her. As the New Year approached, they watched a grand and romantic fireworks show, which was not a rare thing, and they did not expect it to be so impressive.
It's just that people's memories are sometimes strange. No matter how deep the love, hate, and vengeance are, they will fade away with time. On the contrary, these sparse and ordinary little things can be recalled every New Year and every time I watch the fireworks. Breaking out of the ground, every scene is unforgettable.
-
The seventh day of the Lunar New Year is the first day of work for the Civil Affairs Bureau.
It snowed heavily this year, and there was still snow on the roadside that had not melted. They sat in the car, one on the left and one on the right, and no one spoke.
She looked out of the car window quietly for a long time. Ji Yanxing couldn't help but look at her. She was wearing a beige sweater and black trousers, which made her temperament more peaceful and gentle.
His gaze was very real and Yu Nian couldn't ignore it, but she didn't turn her head around. She glanced at the snow on the road and the street scenes passing by.
Perhaps it was because this matter had been dragged on for too long. Almost half a year had passed since she had the idea of divorce. While she felt relieved, she also felt a sense of loss that was almost imperceptible.
It is normal to feel uncomfortable for a while, after all, they have lived here for so long.
When her good friend as a child transferred to another school, she would feel sad for a while, let alone her husband who had slept with her for four years.
"Will you miss me after the divorce?" Ji Yanxing turned his eyes to look at her and suddenly spoke.
Yu Nian fluttered her eyelashes and didn't turn her head. "Maybe, I don't know."
She wasn't sure whether she missed him or not, but she would definitely think of him. Four years of memories could not be completely forgotten just by talking about it.
Ji Yanxing's eyes darkened. Did she want to treat him as a passer-by in her life who left no trace?
The Civil Affairs Bureau was the same one where they got their marriage certificate.
After getting off the bus, I looked at the building at the door in a daze.
She thought she didn't remember, until now she realized that she even remembered clearly what she said on the day she got the marriage certificate.
Yu Nian took the ID and walked inside, but his wrist was suddenly grabbed by him. Yu Nian paused and turned back to look at him.
They were the first batch. It was just past nine o'clock and this date was not an auspicious day, so there were very few people in the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Ji Yanxing lowered his eyes, his voice low and unclear: "Niannian, can we not get divorced?"
Maybe it was because his voice was too low, and it sounded like begging for no reason.
Yu Nian curled her fingers and asked, "Do you want to regret it?"
Ji Yanxing twitched his lips in self-mockery and let go of her hand. "Go in."
The divorce by agreement procedure was completed very quickly. It took less than fifteen minutes for the marriage certificate to be replaced with a divorce certificate.
When she came out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, it started snowing outside again. The scattered snowflakes were floating around randomly, and a few of them fell on the top of her head.
Yu Nian raised her hand, tucked her hair behind her ear, and then stuffed the divorce certificate into her bag.
The snow on the road was too slippery, and when she was going down the stairs, she accidentally stepped on empty air, and a strong hand appeared behind her and supported her waist.
Yu Nian was stunned for a moment and immediately distanced himself: "Thank you."
Ji Yanxing's eyes flashed with a hint of confusion at her politeness and alienation.
"Where are you going? I'll take you there," he said.
Yu Nian: "No need for me to ask Chen Xi to pick me up."
