Jiang Qingchi leaned against Mu Yanzhu's ear and called her "Yan'er" in her ear.
He was very drunk, and his eyes were extremely dark, but there was a vague mist floating in the bottom of his eyes.
This kind of Jiang Qingchi is the Jiang Qingchi who has relieved his burden.
Mu Yanzhu could tell that he was under a lot of pressure in all aspects during this period. He had just started working, and he had to chase her with all his heart, thinking about her affairs, and the death of his grandma...
There are forests, big things and small things.
Men are like this. They keep things on their minds and rarely talk to others. Even to the people they love most, they will not take off the mask of being strong because they want to save face and don't want to show their vulnerability and incompetence.
Today, Jiang Qingchi, with the help of alcohol, can temporarily forget everything, laugh to his heart's content, and have no worries.
But he definitely didn't know that Mu Yanzhu would give him a heavy blow tomorrow.
It was already dark at this moment, and Mu Yanzhu, who was nestled in Jiang Qingchi's arms, was not sleepy at all, and was looking at the moonlight absentmindedly.
Jiang Qingchi climbed over like a leopard and bit her on the back of the neck.
"What are you thinking about?"
"It's okay... why did you bite me?"
"Of course because I love you."
He was completely drunk.
Holding her from behind, she was completely drunk and fell into a deep sleep.
Mu Yanzhu turned around, hugged him whole body, and couldn't help but burst into tears.
It could be said that she had not slept all night. The first ray of sunlight in the morning shone in, causing her so much pain that her heart was so painful that it was about to burst. She could not feel the warmth of the sun or the temperature of her body.
Jiang Qingchi is still sleeping.
He closed his eyes, his long eyelashes closed tightly, and the tiny light fell on his face, which was particularly harmless.
His full forehead, flat eyebrows, high bridge of nose, two thin lips formed a perfect arc with his breathing, and a little green stubble appeared on his chin.
Mu Yanzhu studied him for a long time.
This face is destined to be engraved deep in the bone marrow for a lifetime.
It would be great if time could stay at this moment.
She couldn't help it anymore and stretched out a hand to trace his outline.
Live well, fool.
Take my share with you.
…
Mu Yanzhu got up.
Before that, he pointed his cell phone at Jiang Qingchi's side face, took a photo as a screensaver, and then went next door to pack his luggage.
She squatted on the ground, her heart hurt to the point of numbness, she felt nothing, and could not shed any tears because they were all gone yesterday. He held her and asked her to call her husband. She cried until she was hoarse and her heart was broken. , I shed all my tears last night.
So leaving today!
Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain.
After packing her things, Mu Yanzhu went to wash up, tied a low ponytail, and went to the kitchen to make breakfast.
This was the last breakfast she could make for Jiang Qingchi.
While cooking, a pair of familiar hands hugged her waist. He lifted her long hair and kissed her neck.
"Daughter-in-law, you woke up so early." Jiang Qingchi's voice was gravelly and textured.
"can not fall asleep."
While Mu Yanzhu was frying eggs, she asked softly, "What day is it today?"
"Thursday, what's wrong?"
"Thursday, pretty good."
The Civil Affairs Bureau is closed on weekends, so it would be best to go today.
Mu Yanzhu put the fried food on the table.
"You're acting weird today." At the dinner table, Jiang Qingchi drank the hangover soup she cooked.
"What's weird? Oh, by the way, I want to go out with you for a day today."
"You don't go to work anymore?"
"There hasn't been much going on at the magazine lately. Are you busy today?" Mu Yanzhu asked.
"It's okay, I'm very free these two days."
Mu Yanzhu hummed, even if they didn't do anything, it would be good for both of them to stay together.
"Where do you want to go?"
"Um, I don't have any place in particular that I want to go to." Jiang Qingchi chewed the food and disapproved.
"If you think about it again, is there really no place you want me to go with you?"
"What's wrong with you?" Jiang Qingchi narrowed his eyes slightly.
"I'm fine. It's rare to have a day off. I want to give myself a holiday."
Hearing this, Jiang Qingchi's squinted eyes relaxed, probably because her expression was so calm that no one could doubt anything.
"Then think about your husband... How about my husband taking my wife for a ride by the river?"
"You're still pretending to be like the ancients," Mu Yanzhu covered her lips and smiled, deliberately smiling happily, "Just listen to you."
"I am the head of the family. If you don't listen to me, who will you listen to?"
Jiang Qingchi's brows were raised high as he spoke, and he was in high spirits. He was as happy as yesterday.
As long as Mu Yanzhu didn't talk about "pregnancy and childbirth", he would be happy.
Mu Yanzhu looked moved. She really hoped that he could stay happy forever and be like a carefree child forever.
When she was a child, she was too envious of this kind of person. She was so lucky. He had a good family background and was handsome. She would have to avoid many detours when she grew up.
Now she doesn't envy anyone, because she once had a carefree time, which was given by Jiang He.
"Can you make it back before five o'clock in the afternoon?" Mu Yanzhu asked again.
Jiang Qingchi was stunned, and his smile suddenly faded, "Why five o'clock?"
"I... want to make a break."
"Finish it?!"
"Pfft," she smiled lightly and teasingly, "the manuscript is over."
"Oh you scared me to death!"
Jiang Qingchi drank some water to calm down his shock. Mu Yanzhu half-joked, "What will you do if I break up with you?"
"No ifs!"
Jiang Qingchi glared at her.
"We just got married, can't you make things right? Besides, where can you find a man as good as me? You can't find him even if you light a lamp at night, let me tell you."
"Yeah, you can't find it, you can never find it."
"Tell me, have you done anything wrong? Otherwise, why would you say nice things to make me happy so early in the morning?"
"No, I just love you."
“…”
The two of them were playing around during breakfast. Mu Yanzhu didn't move his chopsticks very much and kept looking at Jiang Qingchi's face. Every movement and every expression he made fell into her eyes deeply.
You ask me how much I love you
As long as you are healthy and safe, I will pay any price for you.
…

Ningcheng.
The majestic Ningjiang Bridge has a wide bridge deck, and under the bridge is the endless Ningjiang River. It is early autumn, the wind is not strong, the autumn wind is gentle, and the river surface is sparkling when the sun shines.
Jiang Qingchi's car stopped in the middle of the bridge, and then he and Mu Yanzhu got out of the car.
Facing the sun, he put his hands on the railing and looked into the distance. Mu Yanzhu was also looking away, but he kept looking at Jiang Qingchi from the corner of his eye.
"Do you think Ningjiang will disappear?"
"No way," Jiang Qingchi replied, "Jingwei has filled the sea for so many years to no avail. Ningjiang is so big, how can it be so easy to disappear?"
"The sky can be deserted, the earth can grow old, the sea can dry up, and rocks can rot. Why can't the river disappear?"
"Hey, you are just too emotional!"
Jiang Qingchi rubbed her head and kissed her. Her nose was a little red, which was very cute.
Mu Yanzhu smiled and said, "Then let me ask you another question. When you face this river, do you think of any poems?"
"Aren't you making things difficult for me? My Chinese is not good."
Mu Yanzhu looked straight at him.
Helpless, Jiang Qingchi sighed, "If I have to say it, just... As for Ruochun and Jingming, they are calm, are they coping with the situation?"
"It's autumn."
"Then you have to ask."
"If it were me, I would think of that sentence: I beat the railing all over, but no one will pick it up, and I want to climb up."
"Oh, what's wrong?"
"It means you're always more optimistic than me."
Jiang Qingchi stared down at her and smiled softly, "Then you should learn to be more optimistic and believe that everything will be fine."
"Okay, okay, okay."
"Idiot, just say it once."
Jiang Qingchi's long fingers pressed Mu Yanzhu's forehead and pressed it.
He quickly leaned over and kissed the place where he pressed her. Her skin was so white that if she was pressed, there would be marks.
Half past three in the afternoon.
The sun was gradually setting in the west. Mu Yanzhu looked at the red sun sinking in the distance, and his heart suddenly contracted with severe pain!
She was about to lose him!
While he wasn't paying attention, she held her heart, her fingers curled up in pain, and she could only dig at the flesh of her palms, wishing that mottled blood would smear out.
"Let's go." Mu Yanzhu suppressed her emotions.
"How about today, I want to take you back to my home!"
Jiang Qingchi paused as he spoke, "I'm going to call my mother right now and ask if she and my father are at home."
"… next time."
Mu Yanzhu took Jiang Qingchi's hand as he wanted to make a phone call.
Jiang Qingchi hummed, seeing that her face looked a little haggard. He knew that she didn't get a good rest last night because both of them slept too late.
His eyes looked pitiful, "Okay, let's go home."
Home
Where does she have a home...
No more, no more, it’s really gone this time.
After getting in the car, Mu Yanzhu closed her eyes and tried hard to keep her voice from shaking, "Let's go to the Civil Affairs Bureau."
"Um?!"
Jiang Qingchi's hand when starting the car was as stiff as ice, and he looked at her in confusion and shock.
"Look what I'm doing. My best friend is getting married today and asked me to go over and give her an ID card. She has been so careless that she even forgot to bring her wedding ID card."
With that said, he took out Li Wenna's ID card from his bag and showed it to Jiang Qingchi to prove that he was not lying.
Li Wenna's ID card was indeed left with her. It was left at her home when the two sisters met last time when they returned to their hometown.
Jiang Qingchi no longer had any doubts, started the car, drove with one hand, and took advantage of the red light to rub Mu Yanzhu's head.
"As careless as you are."
"Obviously you are more careless, idiot, you are so stupid."
If he is careless, find a careful woman to take care of him.
Mu Yanzhu stared out the window, not wanting to say another word, her heart was bleeding with pain.
Back in Licheng, at the gate of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Jiang Qingchi turned off the fire.
"I'll wait for you here, go give it to your best friend."
"Get off the bus with me!"
She took a deep breath and said, unable to control the tears any longer.
"I have something to say to you."
…
Jiang Qingchi's expression finally became serious.
Mu Yanzhu's eyes were dazzled, and his shadow gradually enlarged in her pupils until she couldn't see clearly.
"Mu Yanzhu."
Every word.
Jiang Qingchi rarely called her by her first and last name. As smart as he was, he already understood what she meant now.
"Jiang Qingchi, I'll wait for you inside."
After Mu Yanzhu finished speaking, he got out of the car.
She stood at the door waiting for him for a while.
But he didn't get out of the car.
He had been sitting in the car.
Mu Yanzhu walked over and knocked on his car window. Her voice sounded like it was hard to squeeze out of her throat, "Jiang Qingchi!"
"What do you mean?!"
His cold face, sharp eyes, and voice as cold as ice all showed his anger, and Mu Yanzhu did not look into his eyes.
She didn't dare.
That look made her scalp tingle and made her unable to resist.
She looked away, feeling heartbroken beyond measure. A big hand split her muscles and veins from the middle. The blood flow continued and she was in excruciating pain. There were many holes and no intact parts.
Even so, what needs to be said still needs to be said.
"Let's get a divorce. I've had enough."
"What kind of day? What did I do wrong to you?! Bang—"
As Jiang Qingchi finished speaking, a dull fist hit the car window directly.
In an instant, cracks appeared in the glass, and the sound of the man's bones creaking filled the air.
Mu Yanzhu only saw the back of his red hands, and her heart ached even more for a moment.
Yes, what's wrong with him
He's very good.
"It's my fault. I'm not worthy of you. I can't drag you down because you have to have children. You can't live without children."
"Children, children, children again! Do you decide for me whether I want a child or not? Jiang Yan, we have been in college for two years and separated for three years. Do you know what I really want?"
"I have no idea."
She knows, she knows.
"I only know that I regret marrying you!"
I don't regret marrying you at all.
"We should do a premarital examination first and then get the certificate, so that I don't have to suffer so much. I'm very tired when I'm with you, and I think we're still not suitable for each other!"
I am very happy to be with you, I am so happy every day.
"So get a divorce and take care of yourself from now on."
Only this last sentence was from her heart.
None of the rest.
Jiang Qingchi finally closed the door and got out of the car. Mu Yanzhu's body was numb. She couldn't hold on and wanted to fall to the ground, but he held her shoulders on both sides. His voice was so painful and unbelievable.
"Mu Yanzhu, look up at me."
"..." She didn't want to look into his eyes for fear of bursting into tears.
"Look up at me!"
“…”
"Look up at me!"
Jiang Qingchi said this sentence three times, and Mu Yanzhu took her last breath and looked up at him.
Jiang Qingchi's brows were pinched so tightly that it seemed like he could pinch three flies to death.
"Look into my eyes and say again, you want to divorce me?!"
"I want to divorce you, Jiang Qingchi."
The waves of light rippled, and something covered Mu Yanzhu's eyes. She had no emotions, like a marionette when she said these words, her heart was completely dead, and she could no longer be reincarnated.
Jiang Qingchi lowered his head and kissed her regardless of the door of the Civil Affairs Bureau.
His lips were trembling, and he could feel her trembling. He grabbed her struggling hand and placed it in his palm.
Mu Yanzhu tightened her lips, frowned and shook her head, trying to avoid his kiss. She stepped on Jiang Qingchi, and when he let go of her in pain, she pushed him away.
“…”
Jiang Qingchi came over again.
After three rounds—
"Snapped!"
Along with this crisp slap, it seemed as if the world had become quiet.
Jiang Qingchi's face was swollen and he turned to one side. The fear that penetrated into his bones stimulated his humility, and all his sense came back. He quickly hugged the woman in front of him who was crying with red eyes.
"sorry Sorry sorry."
He spoke urgently in her ear.
"Good Jiang Yan, good wife. It's all my fault. I know I ignored a lot of your feelings. I shouldn't be impatient with you. It's okay. Let's go to the doctor. It will get better. The child will be fine." I promise you, we will not divorce."
His words were clear and tremulous, and each word weighed heavily, hitting Mu Yanzhu's heart hard.
This is the feeling of mourning more than death.
She lowered her head, and the long bangs on her forehead covered her eyes, trying to break open the hands that imprisoned her like a copper wall. Those hands were like springs. The more you touched him, the tighter they became.
Mu Yanzhu opened her mouth to bite the back of Jiang Qingchi's hand. The fragments in her eyes turned into stars and fell down.
It hurts. It hurts.
Jiang Qingchi groaned and refused to let go.
"Jiang Yan, I can live without children in my life, but if I don't have you, what will I do?!"
So what would she do if she didn't have him? !
A sharp knife was in her heart, cutting the flesh one by one, and the blood was dripping. She was about to faint from the pain. She couldn't hold on. Jiang He, just divorce me. You will figure it out. You still have such a long way to go. You are such a good person.
She wanted to say this, but all the words were stuck in her throat, and she couldn't pronounce a single note. She was afraid that she would break down and cry when she opened her mouth.
"Let her go!"
Suddenly, a big hand grabbed Mu Yanzhu's arm and pulled her away from Jiang Qingchi's shackles.
It's Chu Xiangchen.
