The next day, the sky wasn’t pleasant either, drizzling lightly. In front of the Civil Affairs Bureau, a man was holding an umbrella, covering the woman beside him.
Dudu put the divorce certificate into her bag, then looked up at the man beside her, squinting her eyes with a smile, "Thank you."
Qiao Luchen looked at the smile on her face, this was probably the most natural smile she ever showed while they were together, but they would never have the chance to see it again.
"Thank for what?"
"For not blaming ."
Qiao Luchen smiled, his hand clutching the divorce certificate tightened unwillingly, he couldn’t bear to look at her leave with such a happy expression. He shoved the umbrella into her hands, and said, "The roads from now on, you have to walk alone."
"Mm!" She nodded heavily. Compared to before, she is now much stronger and more independent. She could live well on her own, right? Besides, that Shen Yiran seed reluctant to let her go, maybe they could be together, but all this had nothing to do with him anymore.
It’s ti to end this unrequited love, which also marked a full stop to the ti of his youth, although the ending was not perfect...
"You keep the umbrella, I’ll take a taxi back."
He didn’t reach out to take it but turned and strode into the rain.
Dudu watched his back, full of guilt. She turned and left only after he disappeared from her sight.
In fact, at first, she really disliked Qiao Luchen, thinking that he was two-faced, pretending to be very sensible in front of elders but showing his true self behind their backs.
After getting along for half a year, she found that he wasn’t that bad. She thought of a very fitting word to describe him—an excellent teacher and friend.
He could always tell her many truths and rarely got angry with her. Most of the ti, he patiently taught her, which sotis reminded her of Su Bao from the past.
She took two hours off to handle the procedures and hurried back to the company.
She, a professional, had beco much more adept at her work under the guidance of the "self-taught student" Qiao Luchen, but she was still far behind those masters.
The path was chosen by herself, and no matter how hard it was, she had to walk it alone.
"Tongtong, let’s go out for lunch at noon."
"Ah, I’ll just eat in the cafeteria."
"Co on, the manager is treating us, saying it’s to welco a new colleague, everyone in the departnt is going, don’t be a spoilsport."
Upon hearing that it was a departnt dinner, Dudu didn’t want to be an outlier, so she went along with everyone.
The restaurant was chosen at the small plaza, a place she had been to many tis with Su Bao. As she walked in, she looked towards that familiar spot and unexpectedly saw a familiar figure, making her freeze. As he raised his head, their gazes t unexpectedly. Dudu quickly looked away and walked ahead with them.
However, the eagle-eyed people also noticed Shen Yiran sitting over there. The manager found a private room for them first, then walked over to Shen Yiran, familiarly asking, "Mr. Shen, how co you’re eating here too?"
Shen Yiran’s gaze followed Dudu’s figure, then he replied, "It’s convenient here."
The manager didn’t bother with how they t him here, saying, "If you don’t mind, join us. The few people you recomnded last ti have helped us a lot, we should treat you to a al."
Shen Yiran remained silent for a mont, watching Dudu’s figure disappear inside, then stood up and said, "I don’t mind."
