Chapter 1: Never Again
Li Ruochu knew that everything could end today.
The heat outside scorched the earth, the sun was like fire, there was not even a trace of wind, and even the cicadas were silent. But in the sparsely populated Civil Affairs Bureau, it is like a cold winter.
I don't know who turned on the air conditioner too much, and the cold wind made every corner of the room look like an ice cellar, which also made Li Ruochu hug his shoulders.
She had signed the piece of paper that would end the last bit of contact between herself and the man.
Facing the divorce agreement in front of him, Lin Ranran, who was once his closest person, kept holding the pen in his hand and did not fall for a long time.
Li Ruochu looked at her watch, Lin suddenly maintained this action for ten minutes, and she couldn't wait.
After waiting for eight years, Li Ruochu was not bad for this meeting, but Lin suddenly didn't use the pen, and she felt relieved.
"We agreed before, sign your name there, and we can end this marriage that is worth continuing for you and me, isn't it. ā
Li Ruochu's voice didn't fluctuate a bit, it was cold as ice, she was enough. The marriage had essentially come to an end, and all that was missing now was his signature on the paper.
In her heart, she no longer has the slightest nostalgia for the man in front of her, and she feels that this man is not worth her nostalgia anymore.
Now that the two are in this place, it is not a sentence that can explain the breakdown of the relationship, nor is it the extent to which the staff can come out to reconcile and then let them go home and think about it again.
If the contradictions can be reconciled, Li Ruochu will not have to come here.
Time and time again, Li Ruochu couldn't remember the number of times he and Lin Ranran quarreled before and after, and he couldn't remember how many contradictions there were between them.
All they know is that they have been arguing every day for half a year.
There are too many reasons.
Li Ruochu didn't want to mention it again, just thinking about it casually, he could say a lot of things.
But the most important thing is that Lin Ran has never really loved himself, but he has always paid for him, but he has nothing in return.
In this metropolis, she and Lin have always lived in a rented house of less than ten square meters, relying on their own modest wages to support the family.
The material aspect is also improvised, Li Ruochu knows that he may not have that kind of life, but in the spiritual aspect, he can't compromise at all.
Lin Ranran's performance when he fell in love with him, and after getting married, he was completely like a different person, drunk and dreaming every day, and he didn't have any interest at all, so he didn't care about himself at all, Li Ruochu couldn't feel what the so-called "love" was between him and himself.
Li Ruochu recalled that he and Lin Ran fell in love eight years ago.
Because the novel written by Lin Ranran was accidentally turned over by herself, and in less than two years after graduating and working in this big city, she fell in love with the male god in her mind without hesitation.
However, love is blind, especially for stubborn girls like Li Ruochu. She was with Lin Ran, who had nothing and was so poor, just because she loved him deeply.
When Lin Xuanran, who had severed ties with his family because of a quarrel with his parents, married him, he only set up a small table of food in that small rental house, and drank a little more wine, and he said that he must write novels in the future to become a god and make himself live a good life.
Li Ruochu also firmly believed at that time that this man would work hard to become what he wanted.
However, in the following seven years, Lin Ranran, who almost never went out, except for writing some words on the computer every day that no one could read, and spending Li Ruochu's salary to play one online game after another, seemed to have forgotten all the original rhetoric.
Saying good to get ahead, saying good to make yourself happy and happy, just like that, it became a joke.
The relationship between the two has been like glue from the beginning of their relationship, and after they got married, they slowly faded with the passage of time, and now, they are as tasteless as a glass of boiled water.
I don't have a house, I don't have a car, I don't have a deposit.
No matter what he has to buy carefully, even cosmetics, Li Ruochu only dares to use the almost worst kind.
It's all about life, but life has never been kind to her.
There is nothing left of the salary like flowing water every month, and the piggy bank in the corner of the room has never felt heavy.
Li Ruochu's rock-like heart at the beginning gradually had cracks, and with the crying again and again and the indifference of the other party, this crack became bigger and bigger, and it became more and more difficult to repair.
After the piggy bank accidentally fell to the ground and shattered half a year ago, looking at the pile of debris on the ground that didn't even have a steel hammer, Li Ruochu finally couldn't help but collapse.
Only then did she know that she was really stupid at the beginning, and she was very stupid when she had been gritting her teeth and insisting.
Lin was still as unbearable as before.
Fortunately, she is only 31 years old now, and she has no children with Lin Ranran, although she has been tormented by this absurd marriage for seven years, after leaving this door, she still has many opportunities to start a new life.
When I first met Lin Ranran eight years ago, I rejected a man with much better conditions than him, and resolutely chose him, but it seems that my stubbornness is indeed a big mistake.
But now, Lin suddenly signs, and she can completely break off the life she used to have!
Li Ruochu felt her heart beat faster, and she turned her head to stare at Lin Ranran, who had not yet put down her pen.
Compared with Lin Ranran, who has messy hair and a scruffy beard and a pale face wearing glasses, Li Ruochu still dressed himself up well today.
Although she is not young compared to when she first met Lin Ranran eight years ago, she is still the woman who attracts people's attention.
Eight years ago, she obviously had a lot of choices, but she resolutely chose Lin Ranran as if she was dizzy, and now that she thinks about it, she is really stupid.
Lin Ranran didn't give her anything, whether it was material or spiritual, and even when she wanted a child, Lin Ranran refused.
However, in this way, when it comes to getting married, there is also a lot less trouble.
Li Ruochu gave up dividing any property, after all, there was nothing, she also resigned from the company yesterday and bought a train ticket back to her hometown.
She decided to start her life again from the moment Lin suddenly put pen to paper, and say goodbye to this not good time in the past.
And Lin Yuran doesn't seem to want to end it, his pen that hasn't written down his name for a long time seems to be trying and delusional to continue his marriage with Li Ruochu.
But both parties understand that this marriage, which has lasted for seven years, has no meaning and there is no need to continue.
Lin suddenly looked at the agreement over and over again, as if he was reading a thick novel. He glanced at Li Ruochu, who had a resolute face, and finally seemed to have made up his mind, suddenly sighed, bit his lip, and finally wrote his name on it.
Li Ruochu breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, the corners of her mouth rose, this damn marriage was finally over.
The next procedures were completed in one go, and Li Ruochu, who got the divorce certificate, finally couldn't help laughing.
Goodbye, unbearable life.
Walking out of the door of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Li Ruochu felt the feeling of the sun shining strongly on her skin, but the burning sensation made her extremely comfortable; she took a deep breath of the air that was not fresh, but she felt like a butterfly about to break out of the cocoon, ready to welcome her new life.
On the tree-lined path, even the grass and flowers in the green belt are very cute.
However, Li Ruochu, who was humming a song, heard a rush of footsteps behind him.
"Ruochu, that, I'll ......" Lin suddenly chased after him from behind, his plaid shirt that seemed to have not been taken off for a year looked extremely eye-catching, and the dirty eyes hidden in the long bangs also made Li Ruochu feel extremely disgusted.
"Break up peacefully, you and I will have nothing to do with each other after that, that's what I said before, right?" Li Ruochu's heart no longer had a trace of ups and downs, she knew that she no longer had the slightest nostalgia for this man.
She didn't want to say anything about breaking up or being a friend, starting tomorrow, she was going to leave this city that didn't belong to her, and the man in front of her who didn't want to see anymore said goodbye.
"But ......"
"Say whatever else you want to say, this should be the last conversation between you and me. Li Ruochu found that when he said this, he didn't have a trace of sadness.
Lin Ranran's face was stunned, and he opened his mouth, as if he had lost the ability to continue speaking.
"I'm leaving. Li Ruochu found that he no longer had any patience with him.
"No, Li Ruochu, I'm sorry! I didn't give you a happy life!"
"That's all?" Li Ruochu stopped, she was tired of it, this man had said this countless times in the past six months.
"If I can really get ahead......"
"Okay, don't say it, I have a headache when I hear it. Li Ruochu sighed, she originally thought that this man would say some words of blessing to herself, so that at least she could feel that the man who had been with her for eight years had some growth after the divorce.
But this seems to be an extravagant hope, this man still hasn't grown at all, and he keeps talking about his own business, and he is still so selfish.
Li Ruochu sighed, she felt that her eight years were too worthless.
Lin Yuran was still following closely, Li Ruochu sped up, she wanted to break free from his restraints, completely break free!
There were only three seconds left in the green light, and Li Ruochu decided to use it to distance himself from the person behind him who was still pestering him, and then hailed a taxi, and never saw him again!
"Li Ruochu! Don't!!"
However, with a piercing sound of brakes and the screams of the man he didn't want to hear, Li Ruochu suddenly felt that his whole body was burning as if he had been thrown into magma, as well as severe pain!
Boundless darkness enveloped her vision and drew her consciousness into the bottomless abyss.
"IāI don't want to die......" She knew very well that she had been hit by a car.
Despair and unwillingness were Li Ruochu's last emotions, and she immediately fell into absolute darkness.
