Chapter 37 37
byLu Zhi's first reaction was to grab the divorce agreement and run away. He really ran away, but the door of the box was locked at some point. He twisted and pulled the handle. It took a few seconds before he realized the problem..
Shen Linchuan stood where he was, watching him go from facing a formidable enemy to pretending to be calm.
Lu Zhi turned around and glanced at the coat hanging on the hanger.
Shen Linchuan asked in a slow tone: "Are you cold?"
Lu Zhi's scalp went numb for a moment. For some reason, he felt that Shen Linchuan now carried a bit of terror and danger that he had never seen before.His throat tightened, and he replied, "It's not cold."
"What are you doing running so far all of a sudden?" Shen Linchuan patted the back of the chair and said to Lu Zhi, "Come here and sit down. You ate so little just now. Are you afraid you will be hungry at night?"
Lu Zhi stared at him cautiously.He suddenly remembered something, grabbed his mobile phone and took a picture of the agreement that was trembling slightly on his trembling left hand. Shen Linchuan asked him what he was doing, and Lu Zhi said, "Send it to my lawyer."
Shen Linchuan paused: "Come back for dinner after posting."
Lu Zhi walked over hesitantly step by step, and put away the agreement.Shen Linchuan stretched out his hand to caress his hair. Lu Zhi resisted not hiding, but his body was stiff. Shen Linchuan noticed it, so he smiled and said, "So afraid of me? If you hit me, I won't hit back."
Lu Zhi clasped his hands together and did not speak.
"Has your hair grown?" Shen Linchuan ran his fingers through his hair.
Lu Zhi said patiently, "Yes."
Shen Linchuan's breath was approaching, and Lu Zhi felt that he was smelling his own body. Then, Shen Linchuan asked, "Have you changed your shampoo?"
"Changed."
"Xie Qing..." Shen Linchuan deliberately paused, "I'm with you now?"
Lu Zhi said, "We work together."
"Didn't you hate him before?"
Lu Zhi used to look down on Xie Qing because of Shen Linchuan, but now that reason no longer exists, he can't say whether he hates or likes Xie Qing, but although he can't be a friend, it's not that he doesn't say a good word.
"Xie Qing is not as idle as you said, he is very talented."
The smile at the end of Shen Linchuan's eyes faded away, and he said, "It was just an excuse that he didn't want him to join the company, don't you know the reason?"
Lu Zhi knew that at that time Shen Linchuan probably felt that telling the truth was unnecessary, so he found a reason to prevaricate it, but he didn't expect to meet Xie Qing in the mall, and Xie Qing, a single-celled creature, would show his love for Shen Linchuan so clearly.
Lu Zhi raised his eyes and said, "He doesn't like you now."
"I don't care who he likes," Shen Linchuan told Lu Zhi to eat well, but he kept standing beside him, his tone sounded relaxed but full of oppression, "then who do you like? Is it Zhou Jin? OrXie Qing?"
Lu Zhi was worried that with Shen Linchuan's current state of mind, he would trouble the two of them, he said, "Neither of them, it's someone you don't know."
Shen Linchuan laughed: "You are already meeting someone I have never met?"
Lu Zhi didn't dare to answer rashly.
"I have signed the agreement." Shen Linchuan seemed to suddenly remember the business and brought up the matter of divorce. "But we haven't finished the formalities. Before that, I'm still your legal husband..."
Lu Zhi unconsciously held his breath, always feeling that he would hear something shocking from his mouth.
Shen Linchuan suddenly reached out and lifted Lu Zhi's chin.
Lu Zhi raised his eyes.
Shen Linchuan said: "You are doing well, I will follow you to the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow."
Lu Zhi clenched his teeth.
"You don't need to do a lot," Shen Linchuan said, "accompany me to finish this meal, don't quarrel with me, don't mention divorce."
Lu Zhi didn't expect Shen Linchuan's request to be so simple, so he looked puzzled.
Shen Linchuan didn't say any more, he sat back in his seat.
Lu Zhi didn't want to meet his eyes, immediately picked up the spoon and started drinking the fish soup, which was his favorite pickled fish, sour, spicy and very tasty.
Lu Zhi's eating style is very pleasing to the elders, he won't gobble it up, but it seems that the food tastes delicious.After he finished drinking the soup, a thin layer of sweat beads had formed on the tip of his nose. Shen Linchuan saw it from a distance, turned the tissue over and said, "Wipe the sweat."
"Thanks."
If he regards this as the last meal he had with Shen Linchuan, as the end of his ten-year love, regardless of what Shen Linchuan thinks afterwards, then Lu Zhi can also be at peace.
Shen Linchuan said as if nothing had happened: "Today's fish is good."
"It's okay."
Shen Linchuan smiled and said, "The chef has gradually figured out your taste."
Lu Zhi remembered that when he came here for the first time, he wrote a lot of words in the suggestion book, mainly to remind the chef that the fish was a bit fishy, the meat was a bit old, and the bone soup was not delicious.He called to ask for an opinion, and asked him to try it again for free.
The so-called hospitality is hard to come by, that's how Lu Zhi and Shen Linchuan went out to eat.
"Well, it's been five years," Lu Zhi said with emotion, "the taste has become more and more authentic." It would be better if he didn't lock the door of the private room with Shen Linchuan, Lu Zhi added in his heart.
Five years has brought a lot of changes.For example, before Lu Zhi wanted to separate from Shen Linchuan, he must have felt so reluctant, but after going through so many things, he reacted calmly now. After this dinner, he went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to line up early tomorrow and was asked a few questions, get a stamp, everyone will take a book home, and they will be officially single again.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhi touched his finger subconsciously.He used to wear the ring every day, and the ring left him for a month, and he has almost forgotten the feeling of muscle memory and nerve involvement.
Shen Linchuan didn't say any more strange words, but just finished the meal with him calmly.After the meal, Shen Linchuan offered to take him home, but Lu Zhi refused.
Under the street lamp, the white air exhaled by the two intertwined.
Shen Linchuan lowered his eyebrows slightly, seemingly displeased, but he didn't say anything after all.
"Did you take a taxi?" Shen Linchuan asked.
"I drove the car myself." Lu Zhi pressed the car key, and the lights of the car on the side of the road flickered a few times.
"newly bought?"
Lu Zhi said, "My parents gave it to me."
"Let's go, see you tomorrow." Lu Zhi smiled at him.
Sitting in the car, Lu Zhicai realized that his legs were weak. He didn't see clearly when taking pictures, and he didn't have time to check his phone after eating. Only then did he have the energy to confirm Shen Linchuan's signature.
It was indeed the two divorce agreements that he printed out at that time, and Shen Linchuan had indeed signed them.
The phone vibrated a few times.
Lu Zhi took it out and saw that it was a text message from Shen Linchuan.
[Shen Linchuan: At 8:30 tomorrow morning.]
Lu Zhi replied immediately: [OK.]
The next day, Lu Zhi got up very early to wash and dress up. He shaved seriously, tidied his bangs, sprayed on nice perfume, and put on the new clothes and shoes he bought recently.Confirming that he is well dressed, he drives out.
I don't know if it has something to do with his mood, but Lu Zhi found that the road was green. When he arrived at the gate of the Civil Affairs Bureau, he saw Shen Linchuan's car at a glance. He lowered the window and found a seat to park.
Not long after Lu Zhi got out of the car, Shen Linchuan also got out of the car.
Today's Lu Zhi can't be described as full of spring.
Shen Linchuan watched him walking towards him from a distance, but felt that he was getting further and further away from him.
Lu Zhi walked up to him, raised his arm and looked at his watch: "It's almost time, let's go in."
Shen Linchuan nodded.
Those who couldn't live a day in those days and were in a hurry to get divorced all came to get divorced when they started work after the year, so there were not many people who came to go through the formalities today, and there were two couples in front of them.
Line by line, a couple found themselves in the wrong line, and they came to get married.
The staff member pointed helplessly: "Turn left and go straight to the lobby."
Lu Zhi and Shen Linchuan walked in.
The process was very businesslike, and they answered every question. When the small book came in hand, Lu Zhi still couldn't believe it.
Walking out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, the sun gently covers this vibrant city even in winter.Lu Zhi stood beside Shen Linchuan, but his heart was free.
He exhaled deeply.
Thus ushered in a new life.
