It was the same bicycle as yesterday. The tires rubbed against the ground and crushed small stones, making a crisp sound.
He rode slowly and she didn't speak.
When we arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau, the door was already full of people.
They didn't get close and stood under the locust tree not far away.
Because Gu Nianxi was a soldier, the procedures were more complicated. He didn't have much involvement in it, and Ah Quan handled it.
Now ‘everything is ready, all we need is the east wind’.
The morning sun is not dazzling, it shines warmly through the gaps in the branches, and falls mottled on the body.
Gu Nianxi said: "He Yining, will I get a 20% discount when I go to your hospital for medical treatment in the future?"
"It doesn't matter what I say."
"You are so heartless."
She lowered her head, "Can I please do that?"
Somehow, the voice suddenly dropped, like a surprised mouse.
He held her shoulders and lowered his gaze to the top of her clean hair, "He Yining, let me ask you again, is someone forcing you?"
She was shocked. Did he discover something?
She was a little moved, but she couldn't say it out loud, "Gu Nianxi, what are you talking about? If no one forces me, who will force me?"
"It's my mother. She asked you to give birth to the child?"
He Yining shook his head, "Then do I still have to wait three years?"
During these three years, Mrs. Gu mentioned her children all the time.
He probably wouldn't think of Gu Zhenting, because in his eyes, Gu Zhenting is a perfect father, powerful and powerful. How could he force his daughter-in-law to do it for his own selfish desires? What's more, it also involves the grudges of the past.
Resentment, complexity, let her swallow it all silently, and preserve the beautiful image of a strict father for him.
"Gu Nianxi, the door is open."
People were already moving in one after another, but they still didn't move.
There was a layer of blue under his eyes, and his beard had grown out, and he looked a bit decadent and beautiful. He Yining stared at this face, looked at it carefully, and looked at it repeatedly. Maybe it would be difficult to have such an opportunity to face him face to face in the future.
"Gu Nianxi, eating in the middle of the night is not good for your health. Can you change this habit?"
"Gu Nianxi, I have sorted your clothes for you. You can find them as soon as you open the cabinet. Don't mess them up."
"Gu Nianxi, I've left the medicine box for you. Small wounds can develop into big problems. Don't fail to take care of your body."
"Gu Nianxi..."
He held her face, kissed her lips, and swallowed all her words.
He Yining, I don't want you to care about me so much, you will give me the illusion that you really like me, that's why you are so reluctant to leave.
He Yining, don't give me hope, I'm afraid of falling even worse.
That's it, it's over.
He Yining, you will never know that a person named Gu Nianxi once loved you so deeply.
He let go of her.
"go in."
"Um."
The two stood in line at the back of the queue silently, neither of them speaking.
The registration office in the Civil Affairs Bureau really staged the sorrows and joys of the world. The married people were all sweet and holding hands when walking. The divorced people seemed to wish they could never see each other again in this life. They had sullen faces and ignored each other.
They are very special, at least their hands are still clasped together.
There were still two pairs ahead and it was their turn, and the palms of their hands became sweaty.
"Are you here to register?" A man in his forties suddenly ran over and asked.
Before He Yining could answer, he made his own judgment, "You are so young and so loving, just look at it. Let's discuss something. I want a divorce, can you join the team?"
Is divorce so urgent? Can’t wait even a moment?
Based on the principle of being kind to others, He Yining nodded, "Okay."
"Thank you. I wish you a happy marriage and a baby soon."
The man queued in front of them, and soon a middle-aged woman followed.
When it was their turn, the two of them started arguing loudly over some interests. They were so quarrelsome that they refused to give in to each other. People in the queue behind them became anxious and looked around.
He Yining glanced at Gu Nianxi. Usually when encountering this kind of situation, he would have already exploded. Today, unusually, he didn't do anything. He just held her hand a little tighter.
"Ring..." The rapid ringing broke the silence between the two.
The two looked at each other, and their phones rang at the same time.
"I'll take a call."
"I'll take a call"
Even the lines are wrong.
Gu Nianxi walked aside and picked up the phone. When he heard the report over there, his face suddenly darkened and his brows knitted together tightly.
"I know, I'll go back right away."
After hanging up the phone, he saw He Yining walking towards him in a hurry.
The two of them almost said in unison, "I can't do it today."
After saying that, both of them were stunned.
In the end, Gu Nianxi said: "There is a huge flood in the Jiangbei Basin, and I must return to the army now."
She nodded, "I just received the news. The hospital is organizing a medical team."
"Then we..."
She said, "There are more important things than this now, and more people need you soldiers."
He smiled and said, "Is this an opportunity given to me by God?"
The man who just asked to jump in line was still quarreling with his wife, and more and more people were waiting in line behind her. If it hadn't been for him, they might have completed the divorce procedures.
He Yining thought, maybe, this is God's will.
"I'm leaving first, the car will be here soon."
"Um."
Gu Nianxi looked at her deeply, then turned and left resolutely.
As he walked to the door, He Yining suddenly shouted from behind: "Gu Nianxi, be careful."
He paused, didn't look back, didn't answer, and finally disappeared into the porch with long strides.
He Yining seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, holding the documents that he had prepared in his bag, and his heart felt relieved at this moment.
"Hey, are you guys done?" The man finally finished the quarrel, found her, and asked in confusion.
He Yining smiled and replied, "We are already married."
"...."
She walked out of the gate of the Civil Affairs Bureau and immediately called a car back to the hospital.
An emergency meeting is about to be held in the hospital to prepare for the deployment of medical staff to participate in frontline rescue and disaster relief.
The meeting finally discussed the formation of a medical team of four doctors and four nurses to go to the disaster area.
He Yining is one of them, she signed up on her own initiative.
"Xiao He, I admire your courage, but it's really dangerous for a girl like you to go to a disaster-stricken area like that." Xiao Ji also tried to persuade her to change her mind.
He Yining packed up his things and said with a smile: "When I first studied medicine, I just wanted to treat more patients. Now is the time when I am needed. How can I back down?"
What's more, Gu Nianxi's troops should go to the rescue soon, and she wants to fight on the same land as him.
