Chapter 114 A Real Farewell Dinner
Shen Yumo, who was very concerned about his appearance, sat silently opposite Cheng Xuyuan.
After the two got married, they had meals together.
But when we were together, there were other people around us, such as Cheng Jiaxing and his wife, some educated youths I knew before, and some mutual friends...
At this moment, the two people sat opposite each other, and Shen Yumo was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.
In the end, it was Cheng Xuyuan who spoke first: "Yu Mo, you came here not just to congratulate me, right?"
Shen Yumo nodded and said, "No, I came here mainly to discuss our business."
"We agreed to divorce in half a year because you had just been transferred to another job and we were afraid of being talked about and something unexpected might happen."
“But when you get into college, things are different.”
"So, I think it's better for the two of us to separate."
Separation naturally means divorce.
Cheng Xuyuan originally wanted to talk to Shen Yumo about this matter, but he failed to do so last time because of the sudden appearance of Li Yufei and others.
Now, Shen Yumo took the initiative to bring up this matter.
He took a deep look at the woman who had fascinated Cheng Xuyuan. She was still as cold, beautiful, and...
The memory of the original owner hidden in Cheng Xuyuan's heart made him feel a little strange.
But soon, Cheng Xuyuan suppressed this abnormality.
He said in a deep voice: "A marriage without love is unhappy."
"After all, a forced melon is not sweet."
"It's better to get rid of it as soon as possible than for everyone to feel uncomfortable."
At this point, Cheng Xuyuan said: "I agree."
"Your noodles are ready!" The chef in a white hat shouted loudly at the restaurant's stall.
Hearing this, Cheng Xuyuan quickly stood up.
Shen Yumo also stood up, and the two of them walked towards the stall almost at the same time.
"You sit down, I'm enough alone." Cheng Xuyuan said casually.
Shen Yumo said calmly: "Their bowls are a little hot, so let's each take one bowl."
So, the two of them came to the stall one after the other, and Cheng Xuyuan was the first to take the bowl of noodles handed to him.
When I looked into the bowl, I saw nothing but a few chopped green onions on the snow-white noodles.
The bowl that Shen Yumo took was covered with a thick layer of stir-fried cabbage and pork.
Obviously, the two people got the wrong noodles.
The two people who did not switch came to the table, each carrying the other's noodles.
Shen Yumo handed the noodles in his hand to Cheng Xuyuan, and Cheng Xuyuan also handed over the noodles in his hand.
I took a bite of the fried cabbage and it tasted very fragrant.
Pick up a few noodles and they are very chewy.
Cheng Xuyuan took two bites and asked casually, "What are your plans for the future?"
When saying this, Cheng Xuyuan suddenly thought of the conversation between a divorced couple in a TV drama he had watched before.
Those who break up peacefully seem to all say this line.
Shen Yumo ate her plain noodles in small bites. After hearing Cheng Xuyuan's question, she was stunned for a moment and said, "I haven't thought about it yet. I should just work hard."
As if she felt that her answer was a bit perfunctory, she hesitated and said, "As for the rest, let everything go with fate."
"And you?"
Cheng Xuyuan said: "Go to college!"
"Enjoy your college life. As for what happens after four years, we'll talk about it later."
Shen Yumo suddenly raised his head and looked directly at Cheng Xuyuan.
This action made Cheng Xuyuan stunned for a moment.
What, am I wrong in saying this? Just when Cheng Xuyuan was wondering, he heard Shen Yumo say, "We are so lucky to be able to take the college entrance examination and get into university."
"I think that going to college should be about seizing every opportunity to learn, not just about enjoying life."
After saying this, Shen Yumo seemed to feel that his expression was too serious, and explained awkwardly: "Sorry, what I just said was just my personal opinion."
Looking at the serious Shen Yumo, Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "I understand."
"But I like to live my life according to my own habits."
Shen Yumo looked straight at Cheng Xuyuan and wanted to say something else, but in the end, he didn't say it.
His achievements were no longer something she could point fingers at. Moreover, once they separated, how could she be qualified to point fingers at him? Halfway through a bowl of plain noodles, Shen Yumo asked, "When did we complete the formalities?"
Cheng Xuyuan said: "Go get the certificate tomorrow, and then apply for the certificate."
Shen Yumo nodded and said, "Okay, I'll get the certificate and contact you later."
Cheng Xuyuan said: "Actually, I can also contact you."
"Where do you work?"
Shen Yumo glanced at Cheng Xuyuan who was eating noodles, hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm at the Yanjing Literary Association."
Yenching Literature and Art is under the jurisdiction of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, so it is normal to say that it works in the Federation of Literary and Art Circles.
Cheng Xuyuan nodded and said nothing more.
After Shen Yumo finished eating a bowl of plain noodles with only the soup left, he suddenly asked, "Cheng Xuyuan, do you think I owe you anything?"
Cheng Xuyuan put down the chopsticks in his hand and said, "Shen Yumo, you really don't owe me anything."
"Your situation back then was a helpless choice you made just to survive."
At this point, he suddenly asked, "If I had insisted on getting married for real, would you have agreed?"
This problem is not Cheng Xuyuan's problem.
But it was a question that had been lingering in the original owner's mind.
Now there is still a chance to ask clearly, I am afraid there will be no such opportunity in the future!
So I still ask it out, so that the original owner can also be relieved.
Shen Yumo put down the bowl in her hand, without hesitation, she raised her head and said, "No."
These two short words are full of determination.
Cheng Xuyuan looked at Shen Yumo with a determined look on his face, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind. Although these memories belonged to the original owner, they flashed through his mind at this moment.
That person was in such a miserable state back then, but he resolutely ran to find Cheng Xuyuan.
Her expression, her tone, everything about her...
All of these seem to reveal a message, a belief that one would rather die with honor than live in disgrace.
Thinking of this, Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "I am very happy to accept this answer."
The "I" that Cheng Xuyuan was talking about was himself, not the original owner.
He picked up the noodles and continued, "Shen Yumo, divorce is not a trivial matter."
"If the two of us go and do it, I'm afraid it will cause some trouble."
"I think it would be best if you tell Uncle Shen about this after you go back and ask him to ask a friend to handle this matter quietly."
Shen Yumo put down the bowl in his hand and said, "I understand. I will talk to my dad about it when I go back today."
"You think about things much more thoroughly than I do."
As she spoke, she stood up and said, "I'll go back first."
Cheng Xuyuan also stood up and said, "I've finished eating too, let's go together."
The two walked out of the restaurant side by side. Shen Yumo opened his bicycle and prepared to ride away.
Cheng Xuyuan looked at Shen Yumo who was pushing the cart and suddenly said, "Thank you for treating me to this farewell dinner. Generally speaking, this kind of dinner should be treated by the man."
Farewell dinner! When Shen Yumo heard these three words, he felt that this word was really a perfect and appropriate description.
Because she is now divorcing Cheng Xuyuan.
The so-called marriage is also called living together, and the farewell dinner is the most appropriate.
“It doesn’t matter who invites.”
"If you feel it's necessary, you can treat me to a meal when we divorce."
After saying this, Shen Yumo got on his bike and left quickly.
Looking at Shen Yumo leaving, Cheng Xuyuan shook his head gently.
No matter what love, hate, or grudges there are between me and Shen Yumo, it is their own business.
All in all, she's still a good girl.
It's just that this is a good girl he doesn't want to continue to be entangled with.
Taking bus No. 11, Cheng Xuyuan returned to his residence.
As the weather gradually warmed up, the open space under the tube building had become more lively. Some children who were not afraid of the cold began to run around in the yard.
Playing hide and seek and kicking shuttlecock is so lively.
After opening the door, Cheng Xuyuan had just opened the lid of the coal stove when Niu Wanjia walked in.
"Xiao Cheng, I listened to the radio drama of 'The Pursuit of Happiness'. It's really good!"
Niu Wanjia said loudly with excitement: "What a pity, it was only broadcast for more than ten minutes, and it was not satisfying at all!"
"Tomorrow all of us in the writing team will be listening together!"
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother Niu. You have given me the most steadfast support."
Just as the two were talking, a middle-aged woman in her forties walked in with a soy sauce bottle in her hand.
"Xiao Cheng, are you really Xu Lingyun? Did you really write the song "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" that was played at noon today?"
Cheng Xuyuan had seen this middle-aged woman before and had greeted her, but they were just nodding acquaintances. He didn't even know her last name.
I only know that everyone calls her Aunt Osmanthus.
"Aunt Guihua, Xu Lingyun is just my pen name." Cheng Xuyuan answered honestly.
Hearing this answer, Aunt Guihua said with a hint of excitement: "Xiao Cheng, your "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" is really well written!"
"When I was cooking today, I forgot to put salt in the stew because I was listening to your radio drama!"
"It's really wonderful! By the way, what's the story behind it?"
"Did Xu Lingyun succeed in following Li Xiuzhi?"
Before Cheng Xuyuan could say anything, Niu Wanjia said, "Aunt Guihua, if you want to know what happens next, you don't have to pester Xiao Cheng to ask. Just read the novel in Yanjing Literature and Art."
Aunt Guihua glared at Niu Wanjia and said, "Old Niu, you stinky fellow, you are obviously talking about something irrelevant. You know I don't know many words!"
"But, I think Li Xiuzhi looks a lot like me."
"My husband and I came to Beijing from the mountains, and sometimes I feel like I'm completely in the dark."
Cheng Xuyuan was stunned for a moment. He really didn't know Aunt Guihua's story.
He glanced at Niu Wanjia, and Niu Wanjia nodded at him.
The meaning was very clear, it was telling him that his guess was correct.
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Aunt Guihua, they are a natural couple."
"That's fine. I still have to go back to cook. I'll leave first. Come to my house for dinner when you have time. I'll let Lao Qi have a couple of drinks with you!" As she spoke, Aunt Guihua walked out the door holding the soy sauce bottle.
Just then, several more neighbors came in.
They all looked at Cheng Xuyuan, their expressions filled with excitement.
"Xiao Cheng, we listened to your song "The Pursuit of Happiness"!"
"Xiao Cheng, I never thought you were the Xu Lingyun!"
"Xiao Cheng..."
After listening to these words, Cheng Xuyuan finally realized the power of radio! Today's first update, a little late, please support!
