When Zhou Yanjing came downstairs in the morning, the old lady was sitting aggressively in the living room with a cane, waiting to judge him.
As soon as he saw him, he shouted: "Little bastard, come here!"
Zhou Yanjing looked like he hadn't slept well, and his eyebrows looked tired. He took a sip of black coffee and said, "What's wrong, ancestor."
The old lady looked angry and asked him: "Let me ask you, do you love Xiao Xi or that Jiang Nan?"
"You are still so gossiping at your age." Zhou Yanjing said absently.
The old lady was furious: "Don't fool me! How did you promise me in the first place? What did you do? Look at how you bullied our little Xi!"
"I don't care, you should quickly break up with that Jiang Nan and apologize to Xiao Xi!"
"Have you not messed up the house enough?" Zhou Yanjing drank the remaining half cup of coffee like poison, put on his suit jacket and planned to go out, "Don't interfere in my affairs from now on."
The old lady was so angry that she picked up the teacup on the coffee table and threw it at him.
Zhou Yanjing didn't even try to dodge, but unfortunately she missed the throw and the cup smashed past him, causing a few drops of tea to splash onto his brand-new, straight suit.
Zhou Yanjing clicked his tongue.
He was always particular, but today he was too lazy to go up and change another one. He took the towel handed by the servant, wiped it casually and threw it away.
"You're already blind and still have to do technical moves, or else I'll stand closer and hit you."
The old lady became even more angry. She stood up and raised her cane: "I'll beat you to death, you idiot!"
"It's okay to scold me, but don't scold yourself." Zhou Yanjing raised his hand to catch the crutches, and helped him back to sit on the sofa. "Stop worrying about it, eat well, sleep well, and try to live to be one hundred and twenty years old. Other Don't worry about it."
After speaking, he bent down and kissed the old lady's gray hair: "Be good."
The old lady was so annoyed by him that her breath was stuck in her throat, she was angry and couldn't get up.
…
Bentley parked on the roadside opposite the Civil Affairs Bureau for almost half an hour. As soon as the slender figure appeared, Old Liu turned to look at the man in the back seat.
Zhou Yanjing sat with his legs folded and looked across the glass, but there was no movement.
Lin Yuxi was wearing a white lapel coat and stood at the door of the Civil Affairs Bureau. The wind blew her long hair a little messy, and her black hair was flying.
She looked down at her watch several times, her eyebrows frowning more and more.
Old Liu said tentatively: "Second Young Master, are you still going? My wife seems a little anxious from waiting."
Zhou Yanjing didn't seem to hear his words and still maintained that posture.
Until Lin Yuxi seemed to be a little cold from the cold, and breathed into her hand.
He finally made a move, opened the door, and got out of the car.
Five minutes have passed since the nine o'clock appointment was made.
Can't we be punctual even if we get divorced?
Lin Yuxi dialed Zhou Yanjing's phone. It rang twice and was picked up by the other party. She said, "Can't you be on time for once?"
There was the sound of cars in the background, and Zhou Yanjing's voice seemed very scattered amidst the noise: "Why are you in such a hurry? Do you have anything to lose by leaving two minutes late?"
Lin Yuxi was afraid that he might pull some tricks again, so she frowned: "I will lose two minutes."
"Doctor Lin's time is so precious." Zhou Yanjing muttered, "What should I do? Otherwise, I will wait for you at the door for two minutes and give it back to you, okay?"
"..."
What sophistic logic.
At this time, Lin Yuxi had noticed something and turned to look at the sidewalk.
The street trees are bare and desolate, and Zhou Yanjing’s tall figure is wearing a black coat, which matches the bleak background of late winter.
He hung up the phone, crossed the street, and walked towards her.
Walking up to him, Lin Yuxi put away her phone and turned around: "Go in."
The two of them were sitting in the Civil Affairs Bureau. Lin Yuxi read through the agreement and signed her name in the lower right corner without even half a second of hesitation.
Zhou Yanjing watched her the whole time and waited until she finished signing before speaking.
"Won't you take a closer look? Aren't you afraid I'll hide a trap for you?"
"Aren't you very generous? You gave me the house in Songyun Bay, and the compensation was double the original agreement."
Lin Yuxi pushed the agreement over.
Zhou Yanjing looked at her for a while, said nothing, picked up a brush and wrote her name.
Make it in triplicate, and keep one copy with the Civil Affairs Bureau.
The staff asked some questions according to the procedure, and Lin Yuxi answered most of them. Zhou Yanjing didn't talk much, but he was still cooperative.
After submitting the materials and registering, the staff informed them: "There is a thirty-day cooling-off period. Please apply for a divorce certificate within thirty days after the expiration. If you fail to come within thirty days, the divorce application will automatically be deemed to have been withdrawn."
Coming out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Zhou Yanjing said, "I'll see you off."
"No need." Lin Yuxi said, "I've already called a taxi."
She walked down, and Zhou Yanjing called her name from behind.
"Lin Yuxi."
Lin Yuxi turned around.
He stood on the steps, looking at her quietly.
Lin Yuxi waited for a few seconds: "I'm leaving if I have nothing to say."
Zhou Yanjing said: "I will be traveling abroad these days. When are you free? Ask Yang Kang to accompany you to go through the transfer procedures."
"knew."
Lin Yuxi walked to the roadside, and Zhou Yanjing stopped her again.
Lin Yuxi: "What happened again?"
He said slowly: "Remember to get the divorce certificate when the time comes, don't cheat."
"Just be at ease."
The car arrived just in time. Lin Yuxi opened the door and was about to get in the car.
"Lin Yuxi."
She turned her head impatiently: "Can you finish it all at once -"
Zhou Yanjing's approach was silent and unexpected. She was unprepared. As soon as she turned around, her face was held in his palm.
The unfinished words were also blocked by the falling kiss.
Lin Yuxi's eyes widened suddenly.
She saw Zhou Yanjing's dark eyelashes and tightly closed eyes at a very close distance.
The cool touch on the lips and the hot breath.
The kiss started without warning and ended suddenly, like a ephemeral flower that appeared in a hurry and only stayed on her lips for a short moment, too fast for anyone to catch.
One second at most.
Before she could react and push Zhou Yanjing away, he had already let go of her.
Without saying anything, without giving her an explanation or giving her a chance to scold him, he turned around and strode away.
Lin Yuxi was left standing there stunned, watching his back getting further and further away.
It's like being passed by a roadside and being bitten by a dog without warning and then running away.
Confused and inexplicable.
When she arrived at the office, there was a large bouquet of flowers on her desk. Bright red roses exuded a strong fragrance.
Colleagues yelled, "Dr. Lin, who is chasing you?"
"People are chasing me right after the divorce. Dr. Lin is really in demand."
"By the way, how did you go to go through the formalities in the morning? The current policy is really unfriendly to us women. There is a cooling-off period for divorce. Didn't a case just come out a while ago? A man regretted it during the cooling-off period. He stabbed the woman with a knife and seriously injured her..."
Before he finished speaking, another colleague scolded him: "Hey, can you say something auspicious?"
"It doesn't matter." Lin Yuxi smiled, "It went smoothly."
She picked up the flowers to see if there was a card.
In fact, growing up, not many people chased her.
She was not good at socializing or keen on socializing, and there were not many boys around her to pursue her, so she never felt that she was very beautiful.
It wasn't until her senior year in high school that a male classmate with whom she often took English competition exams confessed his love to her.
That day after school, her English teacher stayed with her to talk about the competition. It was a little late after it was over, and her male classmate sent her home.
As she approached the intersection of Zhou's house, her male classmate suddenly grabbed her hand.
Lin Yuxi was startled when she found that his palms were sweating from nervousness.
He said a lot, but Lin Yuxi didn't hear a few words. Maybe it was because it was dark and his touch didn't have her permission, so she felt uncomfortable.
Then he saw Jiang Nan hugging Zhou Yanjing's waist not far away, under the streetlight.
She was afraid that Zhou Yanjing would see her and tell Ling Yaqiong that she was in love early, and she would be scolded again, so she took out her hand and left.
After that, perhaps because he felt embarrassed about being rejected, the male classmate never spoke to her again.
There were only a few people around Lin Yuxi, and the only one who might be able to send flowers these days was Tan Yu.
She didn't find the card and thought the flowers were sent by Tan Yu. She felt it was a bit tricky. She didn't want things to go in that direction.
After much thought, she sent Tan Yue a message at noon.
[I received the flowers, thank you, I’d better not send them next time]
Tan Yu's reply came quickly.
[I didn’t send flowers]
Lin Yuxi was stunned and quickly apologized. Just halfway through typing, Tan Yu seemed to have gone through a lot of struggle and sent another message:
【But I can give it away】
Lin Yuxi was extremely embarrassed: [I didn’t mean that]
[I made a mistake, it should have been given by someone else. I’m really sorry. Just pretend you didn’t see it]
Tan Yu probably didn't understand her confusing behavior, so he just replied "Okay" in a cooperative manner.
Lin Yuxi was so convinced that she picked up the bouquet of flowers that she had placed under the table and rummaged around to see if there was a card.
"Strange..." She found nothing and was wondering, who sent the flowers without even leaving a name?
You can't send it to Moments anymore to ask who sent it. Do you think your social scope is not broad enough?
Just then Sister Man came back: "Hey, who sent the flowers? They are so beautiful! Why didn't anyone send me flowers?"
Lin Yuxi was worried about what to do with it. She didn't have a vase, so it would be a pity to throw it away.
"Do you want it?"
"Yes! Really give it to me?" Sister Man was overjoyed and took it, holding the flower and taking a deep sniff, "I like flowers the most."
