After saying these words, Wen Qian felt like a ball of cotton was choked in her throat. After all, she couldn't hold back the cry. The broken cry was like Zhou Shilin's broken heart at this moment. He hugged her tightly. Holding her is like holding the other half of your heart.
"Do not cry."
"It's just that divorce doesn't mean staying away from each other forever."
They still have a future.
He is fighting for their future now, if... she still wants him at that time...
Wen Qian leaned on the man's strong chest. His embrace was warm, but her heart was cold. Can they have a future? She knew that the divorce was to protect herself from being implicated, so what should he do?
Thinking of the ups and downs he was about to endure alone.
A fear for the future welled up in her heart.
"Can we still meet?"
Zhou Shilin shook his head: "No for now, you'd better move into the Lu house. When you miss me, take out the photos and look at them. This is called seeing things and missing people."
It's hard for him to still be able to joke.
Wen Qian's eyes were red and swollen, and she curled her lips in frustration: "But we don't even have a group photo together."
"Go take the photo now."
The two went to the county photo studio together and took a photo that was unique to each other. The small photo carried the last joy. Wen Qian tried hard to smile, but no matter how beautiful her smile was, there was sadness in her eyes.
Zhou Shilin looked sideways at her.
A 'click' sound.
The camera freezes at this moment, she is smiling and he is looking at her.
The photographer put down the camera sheepishly: "The shot just now was very artistic, so I took it. Now let's take a front-on shot again. You two can look at the shot together."
"No."
Zhou Shilin thought this was good.
"When are you coming to pick up the photos?"
"Three days later."
After receiving the receipt from the photo studio, Zhou Shilin and Wen Qian walked out side by side. No one spoke a word along the way. Before they separated, there was already a hint of sadness lingering between them.
Arrive at the clothing store.
From a distance, she saw a circle of people gathered around the door. Wen Qian pushed through the crowd and squeezed in. She saw a middle-aged woman clamoring for a return. She also said that Jiaren Clothing Store was bullying customers and asking for exorbitant prices. The skirt sold to her was cheaper than Department stores are expensive.
The two clerks were so anxious that they were sweating.
"Sister, the quality is different."
"I don't care, give me your money back!"
The skirt was dirty everywhere. It was obvious that the middle-aged woman had come to cause trouble on purpose. People around her also noticed it and accused her of being unkind.
Middle-aged women don't care about this.
She won't leave until I refund her money.
"I come here every day to see how you do business."
Yeah, how to do business.
This is the first time that Wen Qian's clothing store has encountered something like this for so long, and at such a juncture, it's hard not to think too much. She despises such behavior, and there might be some way to do it.
Going to the police station is a personal dispute.
She asked the clerk to return the money to the middle-aged woman.
The crowd watching the excitement gradually dispersed, and Zhou Shilin took a step forward, his eyes filled with guilt. Of course he knew that what happened today was not a coincidence, but just a ploy by his opponent.
Test the bottom line step by step.
Forcing people to retreat.
Just like in the sports in those years, people were tortured to death.
"sorry."
Wen Qian sighed softly: "It's not your fault."
The mistake is that this is a powerful society. If you want to resist, you need to be stronger. Maybe the choice of divorce is right. The opponent has made it clear that he will not give up until the Zhou family is destroyed. It makes people feel better.
Suppress Zhou Shilin's career.
For her, it was all-pervasive harassment in her life, study and work. People said that poor and lowly couples would suffer the same fate over time. Watching a loving couple gradually turn into resentful couples, watching Zhou Shilin suffer the double blow of love and career...
What's more fulfilling than breaking someone's will?
The former emperor's proud son was completely trampled under his feet and never had a chance to stand up. In that way, their goal would be achieved.
She wouldn't let them have their way.
A temporary compromise for a flatter future.
***
Three days later.
The divorce application was approved.
One evening, Wen Qian left the family home. She left quietly and simply said goodbye to Du Chunfeng. After she left, Du Chunfeng had red circles in his eyes.
"how so."
She could no longer live a good life. Thinking of Wen Qian's forced smile while holding back tears, she felt even more heartbroken. She couldn't help but give her man a hard look.
"You're useless."
The instructor touched his nose helplessly. He really had no choice at all.
"Xiao Zhou has encountered difficulties this time. He will be transferred to grassroots work."
It is nominally a grassroots exercise.
In fact, he was thrown into a corner far away from the center of political power. From the captain of the special operations flying brigade to the junior police officer at the police station, there was not only a gap of countless levels, but also a distance of thousands of miles.
"Xiao Zhou is going to Pengcheng."
"Pengcheng?"
Du Chunfeng smacked his tongue: "Construction is going on everywhere. What can be accomplished with such a mess? Besides, if a pilot becomes a police officer, isn't he overqualified?"
"Then what can be done?"
The instructor sighed: "A soldier's bounden duty is to obey orders. Besides, gold will shine wherever it is. With Xiao Zhou's ability, he will not be weak wherever he goes."
"This is called hiding one's strength and biding one's time, avoiding the edge for the time being."
Du Chunfeng: "..."
It sounds nice to say it, but she, a woman, doesn't understand the fight between men. She just hopes that lovers can finally get married, and that Xiao Zhou and sister Qian Qian can still see the moonlight one day.
She was waiting to eat their wedding candy again.
This way.
Zhou Shilin sent Wen Qian to Lu Zhai.
He wanted to touch her head, but he restrained himself when he thought of the current relationship between the two, and his thousands of words finally turned into a word of "take care."
"Take good care of yourself."
"Don't stay up late, pay attention to your health, eat well, don't be picky about food, don't work too hard."
Wen Qian looked at him silently: "What else?"
And... don't forget me...
Zhou Shilin laughed at himself, and a hint of depression flashed across his handsome face. He had reached this point. He was no longer qualified to promise her future. He only hoped that Wen Qian's future road would be smooth.
"go in."
For the first time, Wen Qian saw such a smile on Zhou Shilin's face. It was painful and painful. She felt a dull pain in her heart, her vision gradually blurred, and large drops of tears fell down.
She said softly——
"Brother Lin, please wipe my tears one last time. I won't cry again in the future."
As soon as he finished speaking, his body fell into a familiar embrace.
Zhou Shilin couldn't restrain himself after all, and took Wen Qian into his arms very hard, as if she was melting into his own flesh and blood. He said in a hoarse voice: "We are all fine."
"good."
Wen Qian sniffed and watched the man's figure disappear into the sunset.
