Chu Ci didn't look back after all, he strode towards the door, opened it and hurried in, locking the door behind him.

The moment the door closed, all the strength in her body seemed to be drained away. She lost her support in an instant and could only hold on with her back against the door.

Tang Qing's words "wife" echoed in his ears for a long time, his eyelashes trembled, and tears fell.

Chu Ci slowly slid along the door and squatted on the ground, covering her mouth with both hands, holding back her tears.

How can two people not feel uncomfortable when they are separated?

After several years of entanglement, Chu Ci knew very well that this time they were really going to separate completely. If she was asked how she felt at that moment, she could only say eight words: relieved and heartbroken.

Giving up a man whom I have loved for many years can feel relieved in one moment and heart-wrenching in the other.

"Miss, when did you come back?" Aunt Zhang came out of the kitchen and was frightened when she saw Chu Ci crying: "What's going on? Why are you crying like this?"

"I'm fine, sand got into my eyes."

Chu Ci turned to his side and wiped away his tears quickly. It was a lame excuse that even he couldn't deceive himself. Aunt Zhang was also a person who had been there before, so how could he believe it. Aunt Zhang glanced out the window, and Tang Qing was still standing outside the yard.

"Miss, you go back to your room to wash up and change clothes. Mr. Nan Shu is back."

"Nan Shu is back?" Chu Ci was surprised. After careful calculation, Nan Shu had been gone for more than a month.

"Well, I came back in the morning and came to see the lady. I told him that the lady was out." Aunt Zhang said: "Mr. Nan Shu seems to have something to do with you. He said that you were back, so he told you to come over."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Chu Ci took a step forward and thought that he looked too haggard, so he went upstairs to wash up and change his clothes.

Tang Qing had already left. Chu Ci stood in the yard and looked at the exit for a while, as if he could see Tang Qing's lonely look when he left.

Chu Ci walked to the door of Nan Shu's house and pressed the doorbell. Soon someone opened the door, and it was Nan Shu.

The moment the door opened, Chu Ci looked at Nan Shu with mixed feelings in his heart. He had thousands of things to say, but he didn't know how to say them. In the end, he just said: "I'm back."

"Well, I'm back." Nan Shuqian smiled politely: "You have lost weight."

"You're black."

The two looked at each other and smiled. Nan Shu turned sideways and said, "Come in, the tea has just been brewed. You are in for a treat."

Chu Ci looked at the tea on the table in the living room. It was steaming. It was really freshly brewed.

"Didn't you see me coming back a long time ago and cook it specially for me?"

"That's really smart." Nan Shu smiled: "Try it, I brought it back from the mountains."

"Nan Shu went to the mountains this time? Which mountain?" Chu Ci just asked casually. She was a little tired on the way back to Beicheng, but she felt more energetic after smelling the faint fragrance of tea.

"Unknown hill." Nan Shu smiled, sipping tea, and suddenly looked solemn: "I heard about you, but I didn't expect that so many things happened to you after I left."

With the recent events clearly visible in his mind, Chu Ci suddenly fell silent and felt that the tea in his mouth was extremely bitter.

She didn't speak and couldn't say anything.

Nan Shu observed Chu Ci's expression, and impulsively blurted out: "Are you interested in traveling around with me?"

Nan Shu's abrupt words made Chu Ci startled.

He explained with a smile: "It just takes you to relax, go out and see the world and the scenery, and your whole mood will be different."

It turned out that she had misunderstood. Chu Ci shook his head: "Forget it, I just came back from a break to be with him."

"I saw it." Nan Shu saw Chu Ci coming back with Tang Qing.

Chu Ci didn't explain much. The two just drank tea and chatted. She hadn't felt so comfortable for a long time, and unknowingly, she fell asleep on the sofa.

Nan Shu looked at the sleeping Chu Ci and felt calmer than ever before. He got up and walked over, sat down next to her, and just sat there and watched for a while.

The wind outside blew in, and Nan Shu found a blanket to cover her.

One of Chu Ci's hands was hanging down, which was the hand that was burned. Nan Shu looked at the scar on the back of his hand and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Nan Shu grabbed Chu Ci's hand and wanted to put it back into the blanket for her. When his fingers touched Chu Ci's pulse, his face sank, his expression became solemn, and he murmured to himself: "How could it be?"

Nan Shu felt the pulse carefully before confirming the answer in his heart, and put Chu Ci's hand back into the blanket with a complicated expression.

Chu Ci slept very soundly. She didn't know why, but after a trip to the south, she looked very tired and couldn't relax.

Chu Ci slept until midnight. When he woke up, there was a lamp in the living room, and Nan Shu was sitting next to him, playing chess with himself.

"Wake up." Nan Shu smiled and said, "Are you hungry? I'll ask Aunt Zhang to cook something for you and bring it over."

Chu Ci was really hungry since he didn't have dinner.

"I'm sorry for keeping you up so late. I'd better go back and let Aunt Zhang cook something myself." Chu Ci could see that Nan Shu had obviously been accompanying her the whole time.

I lit an incense stick in the living room and it smelled particularly good.

Nan Shu saw Chu Ci staring at the incense and said, "This is the incense that calms the mind and helps you sleep. I was worried that you wouldn't sleep well, so I ordered it."

"It smells really good, Nan Shu, can you give me some to take home? I want to light this kind of incense in my room in the future." Chu Ci was afraid that one day he would have insomnia again. This incense is much better than sleeping pills.

"I'm afraid that won't work." Nan Shu laughed and said, "Don't smell this fragrance too much, otherwise it will be harmful to your body. A little bit is fine, and I don't have any stock here."

"I don't believe it. You are just stingy and unwilling to give."

Nan Shu laughed a few times: "This incense is indeed precious. If you like it, I will send you a few next time I have the goods."

"It's a deal." Chu Ci folded the blanket and returned it to Nan Shu: "I'm going back."

"Well, please pay attention to your body."

"It's okay, I'm in good health." Chu Ci didn't say anything about the pain in his lower abdomen from time to time.

Nan Shu smiled, said nothing, walked Chu Ci to the door, watched her enter the house next door, and then said coldly to the person upstairs: "Come out, she's gone."

The hidden person did not show up, but just joked: "Brother, how can you catch a beauty with your slow temperament? How about I help you."

"It's not your turn to interfere in my affairs." Nan Shu's tone was very cold, but he was completely different from when he was talking to Chu Ci just now.

Chu Ci returned home and cooked some food for herself. She couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, so she picked up a popular romance novel on the Internet and became fascinated by it.

The next day.

Chu Ci had washed up early in the morning and had all her identity documents ready. She called Huang Wei to pick her up, and then went straight to the Civil Affairs Bureau.

When Chu Ci arrived, Tang Qing had not arrived yet, so she was not in a hurry and sat in the car to take a nap.

Huang Wei was very worried and confused.

"Mr. Ruan, why are you here at the Civil Affairs Bureau?"

Chu Ci didn't really fall asleep. She opened her eyelids and said in a sad tone: "Let's deal with some personal matters."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Tang Qing's car coming from the opposite direction.

After the car stopped, Chu Ci watched Tang Qing get out of the car, straightened his clothes and got out of the car.

He didn't break his promise.

"Let's go." Chu Ci spoke calmly, holding the household registration book in his hand and not even looking at Tang Qing.

As soon as she stepped up the steps, she heard Tong Yuya's voice: "My dear, come in quickly, I'll wait for you here."

He didn't come alone, he brought Tong Yuya.

Chu Ci felt very embarrassed. Her husband was cut off by Tong Yuya, but when she quit, Tong Yuya looked on with a proud face.

Chu Ci didn't look back and walked quickly inside. Tang Qing glanced at Tong Yuya coldly and followed Chu Ci.
