Ruan Jianguo had always disagreed with divorce. Every time they met, whenever she brought it up, he would either dodge the topic or plead with her not to divorce. They never faced it head-on. This went on for more than half a year, and she thought they might never take the final step. Gradually, she grew tired of urging, thinking that their current state was only missing a certificate.
She never expected that one day she would hear him bring it up on his own, and in such a calm manner, say to her, "When are you free? I'll go with you to handle the procedures."

Shu Jiao did not answer immediately.
Nor did she look at Ruan Jianguo. She just quietly listened to the sound of frogs chirping around them.
After about ten seconds of silence, she asked him, "Are you sure?"
"Yes." Ruan Jianguo's voice was soft but unusually firm.
