After taking the picture, each of them pledged an oath and went through their wedding vows with a serious expression.
"I, Su Zhinian, take you, Song Qingchun, to be my wife…"
"I, Song Qingchun, take you, Su Zhinian, to be my husband…"
"We promise to honor all the responsibilities accorded to a married couple: We promise to be loyal to our parents, caring to our children; We promise to be true to each other in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health. We swear by the oath we make today and will try our best to live by it to the end of our lives!"
…While Song Qingchun and Su Zhinian were going through their vows, the counter called Qin Yinan and Cheng Qingchong's number.
They sat next to each other before the counter. As the worker read through the documents they had handed in, he asked officially, "Are you sure you're going through with the divorce."
"Yes." Qin Yinan couldn't wait for this to be over with.
Cheng Qingchong didn't dare look the worker in the eye. She nodded slightly and whispered, "Yes."
The worker picked up the stamp without hesitation, and a red "VOID" appeared on their red marriage certificates.
…
Song Qingchun held Su Zhinian's arm as they left the office with the red marriage certificate booklet with a bright smile on her face. The sun was shining perfectly that afternoon. Walking down the steps, Su Zhinian suddenly called her name."Tingting."
Song Qingchun stopped and turned to look at Su Zhinian. Su Zhinian stared into her eyes and called out softly, "My lovely wife."
Song Qingchun blushed lightly before turning to head toward the car. Su Zhinian ran after her to help her open the door. Before getting into the car, Song Qingchun stood on her tiptoe to kiss him on the cheek and then whispered into his ear, "My handsome husband."
Su Zhinian's expression softened with love. Before the girl could escape into the car, he grabbed her, pressed her against the car, and planted a big, wet kiss on her lips.
The sun that spring was glorious. Their world was perfect. Both of them knew that it would be as beautiful for the rest of their lives.
There is a kind of love in the world where the one you're looking for is the one who will never give up on you.
He was too lucky, and she was too lucky.
He would never give her up and she would never let him go.
…
Please don't be too good to me, Cheng Qingchong thought. I'm afraid when I want to give myself to you, you won't want me anymore.
…
When the divorce was finalized, Qin Yinan flipped through the papers easily before tossing Cheng Qingchong her copy and leaving the office in a hurry. Cheng Qingchong didn't catch the paper, and it fluttered to the ground.
When she bent over to pick it up, the term "Divorce Papers" stared her right in the face. She spaced out for a moment, squatting there on the floor, before she gathered herself and stood up.
Standing at the entrance, Cheng Qingchong turned to look at Qin Yinan's car out of habit, and his parking spot was already taken by some other car.
He's already left…
Cheng Qingchong lowered her head and took slow, deliberate steps down the stairs.
