After the divorce, I returned to my village and became a legendary healer.

In front of the Civil Affairs Bureau in Shenyang.

A beautiful woman with slightly reddened eyes.

The man had a cigarette dangling from his mouth, looking at the city sky with his eyes slightly narrowed, as if the sunlight was a bit too bright.

"It's over." At this moment, Chen Shi'an felt a sense of relief.

Looking at the woman before him, a smile appeared on his face. "Lin Qingxue, I wish you a bright future," Chen Shi'an said with a smile.

"Chen Shi'an, are you in such a hurry? Don't you have any nostalgia?" the woman asked, her eyes red.

"Isn't this what you wanted? Now you're being all dramatic again." Chen Shi'an said with a calm smile!

"Do you only feel a sense of accomplishment when I have to cry and beg you to come back, only to be dumped by you?"

"If you like, I don't mind fulfilling your wish once, but my acting skills are just average, so please don't mind." Chen Shi'an said to Lin Qingxue with a smile!

The two were college classmates, got married after graduation, and were together for six years.

Six years, and we haven't even made it to the seventh year yet.

There was no infidelity, no fundamental mistakes, we were just both tired.

Lin Qingxue was fed up with the monotonous and meticulously planned life.

Chen Shi'an was also fed up with this endless internal strife.

Lin Qingxue saw Chen Shi'an suddenly burst into tears, and she felt a void in her heart.

Looking at the man in front of me, I thought, "Ten years... how many decades does one have in a lifetime?"

"Let's part ways here! Never to meet again." Chen Shi'an waved his hand gently.

"Chen Shi'an, let's have a meal together! Have one last meal together," Lin Qingxue said gently.

"Alright! I'm hungry anyway." Chen Shi'an nodded with a smile.

Sometimes it's hard to let go of those two words, but the moment you truly let go, you'll find boundless freedom.

Two people sat down at a private restaurant.

It has to be said that both of them are stunningly good-looking, attracting a lot of attention as soon as they entered.

No one could tell that the two were a recently divorced couple.

"What are your plans for the future?" Lin Qingxue asked Chen Shi'an.

"I'm going home to retire!" Chen Shi'an said decisively!

"Can't you be a little more ambitious?" Lin Qingxue said angrily.

Chen Shi'an smiled and said, "Lin Qingxue, it's a very boring thing to impose your ideals on others."

"Those who walk different paths cannot make plans together; we made a mistake from the start," Chen Shi'an said with a smile.

"What about your work at the hospital?" Lin Qingxue asked.

"I resigned," Chen Shi'an said decisively.

Lin Qingxue looked at Chen Shi'an, a complex expression on her face, "Well, as long as you're happy."

Chen Shi'an smiled but didn't say anything.

He simply lit a cigarette.

Feelings can't withstand the test of time.

And he was homesick.

Lin Qingxue had been working in this city for too long, working overtime day and night, and even driving for Didi to supplement her family's income when she had free time. Of course, she was also trying her best, but some things cannot be obtained through hard work alone.

He could manage the mundane necessities of life, but Lin Qingxue couldn't.

A life that never changes is the most agonizing.

Some people can endure prosperity, but cannot bear loneliness.

The two had a simple meal. Chen Shi'an ordered three dishes, and Lin Qingxue's eyes held a complicated expression.

"Let's order another one!"

"No, you already said I'll never eat four dishes in my entire life," Chen Shi'an said, waving his hand.

"It's my treat!" Lin Qingxue said angrily!

"It doesn't matter who treats you," Chen Shi'an shook his head.

"Oh, I'm used to catering to your tastes. Don't misunderstand anything." Chen Shi'an suddenly realized that these three dishes seemed to be Lin Qingxue's favorites.

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingxue glared angrily at Chen Shi'an.

"Hey, you're not going to regret this, are you?" Chen Shi'an looked at Lin Qingxue, whose face was dark.

He only felt relieved.

He missed home, he wanted to go home, he missed that little mountain village, he missed his parents.

"Only a fool would regret it." Chen Shi'an's lingering fear seemed to have spurred him on.

"I only regret marrying you," Lin Qingxue said through gritted teeth.

"Yeah, likewise." Chen Shi'an smiled.

A silence fell between the two of them. After the food was served, they began to eat.

Lin Qingxue ate very slowly, while Chen Shi'an, who had finished a large bowl of rice, quietly smoked a cigarette.

Until Lin Qingxue put down her chopsticks.

"Smoke less in the future." Lin Qingxue gave Chen Shi'an a complicated look.

"Okay." Chen Shi'an nodded with a smile.

"Goodbye!" Chen Shi'an stood up, waved, and strode away without looking back, under Lin Qingxue's gaze.

He felt no hatred towards Lin Qingxue, but of course, he also felt no love for her.

A man should be able to make clean breaks when necessary.

Once a woman's heart begins to wander, you can't keep her.

It's better to cut your losses early than to have a bitter and bitter falling out one day.

Chen Shi'an got into the car to go home.

From the city to the county, they still had to change buses once. The car was given to Lin Qingxue, the savings were given to him, and the two of them also had a small apartment that the two families had bought together with full payment. It was now listed for sale, and they would split the proceeds equally.

Therefore, Chen Shi'an could only take a car home.

He has already planned his future: to return to the village and open a small clinic.

As for relationships, I haven't thought about them; I'll just let things take their course.

He can't keep up with the pace of big hospitals, and after all this time he's still just an attending physician. There's no certainty about his future prospects.

The road back to the village from the county town is a bit bumpy, but it hasn't changed much compared to six years ago.

The scenery and trees on both sides remained unchanged.

Chen Shi'an drifted off to sleep, and when he woke up, the train had already arrived at the station.

I made my way home, and my luggage had already been packed and delivered by courier, so it was all done quickly and efficiently.

Standing in front of his house, Chen Shi'an hesitated.

He got divorced without even realizing it, and his family didn't know. He didn't even know how to explain it to his parents.

For their generation, getting married was a huge deal, and so was getting divorced.

That generation felt that divorce was shameful, so if they could make ends meet, they would mostly stay together.

Just as he was hesitating, a surprised voice rang out, "Shi'an!" A middle-aged woman appeared behind Chen Shi'an. Chen Shi'an turned around and looked at the woman with fine wrinkles on her face and gray hair at her temples. His eyes welled up with tears.

"Mom!" Chen Shi'an called out!

"Why did you suddenly come back?"

"Are you alone? Where's Qingxue?" Zhao Mei looked around and asked in confusion when she didn't see Lin Qingxue.

"Let's talk inside," Chen Shi'an said softly.

"Did you have a fight?"

"Shi'an! A man should be more considerate of women. Qingxue is a nice girl, we can't bully her." Zhao Mei said softly to Chen Shi'an.

"Hmm!" Chen Shi'an nodded perfunctorily.

Zhao Mei was still very happy to see her son return.

Chen Jianjun, on the other hand, remained much calmer, simply nodding as a greeting.

This is often the case between fathers and sons.
