Xuxu used a hand to shield her eyes from the blazing sun . She took a deep breath and began her ascent .
Even though each of her footsteps felt heavy, there wasn't a hint of hesitation .
After climbing a few more steps, she peered towards the entrance of the Civil Administration Office . She furrowed her eyebrows with a puzzled look .
'Sh*t, where was everyone?'
'Why was it deserted?!'
Xuxu didn't give up, and she put her face against the glass door and peered inside . It was literally… empty .
A thought dawned on her . Today was… the fourth day of the Chinese New Year . Was it still a Public Holiday?
She whipped out her phone and checked on various search engines . She typed 'Is the Civil Administration Office open on the fourth day of the Chinese New Year?' The answers were unanimous: No .
Xuxu was frustrated and embarrassed . She had always regarded herself as someone who was meticulous and bright . Why did she forget about the public holidays during Chinese New Year?
Originally, she didn't seem to realize that it was Chinese New Year . If she didn't notice that the building was empty, it would have completely slipped her mind that it was still Chinese New Year .
"Xuxu . "
A familiar voice belonging to a man sounded . Xuxu glanced towards the direction of the voice and saw Yan Rusheng was walking towards her .
He was formally dressed in a suit, and he had put on a black coat . He looked clean and well-groomed .
He stuffed his hands in his pockets as he walked, and the sunshine enveloped Yan Rusheng entirely . The sunshine seemed as though it was bribed to make him glisten and dazzle .
Xuxu softly replied, "I forgot that today is the fourth day of Chinese New Year . The Civil Administration Office is closed . "
The news secretly thrilled Yan Rusheng . "That's great . "
He was over the moon .
Great! It had slipped his mind that today was the fourth day of Chinese New Year . Why would the Civil Administration Office be open?
Xuxu was dumbfounded…
"Another day then . " Xuxu bent her head as she softly spoke .
Without hesitation, she walked past Yan Rusheng and descended the stairs .
Yan Rusheng turned around and followed her . "Are you going home?"
Xuxu didn't respond to Yan Rusheng's question as she stared at her feet .
Even though it was a sunny day, there was still a light breeze . It seemed to ruffle Xuxu's locks and made it dance .
Every time Yan Rusheng's saw Xuxu's hair, his heart would throb with pain as though something invisible attacked it .
Xuxu was quiet and so was Yan Rusheng . He walked a step behind her without a word .
It was by the roadside that Yan Rusheng parked his car, where Xuxu also had to flag a taxi .
Xuxu extended her hand to flag down a taxi . Yan Rusheng interrupted and gestured to his car . "Xuxu, where are you going to? I'll send you there . "
Whenever he spoke to her, it was as if he would deliberate for a while . He would carefully phrase his words before speaking, as well .
He thought, "This must be love . When a couple has an argument, they would take the initiative to apologize and try their best to coax the other party . Neither of them should remain proud, and wait for the other party to admit their mistake . "
"It's fine," Xuxu replied curtly and just then, a taxi stopped in front of her .
She got in and shut the door .
Yan Rusheng watched her as she went into the taxi . He was still quite happy even though her attitude remained the same .
He was relieved that it was the fourth day of Chinese New Year and that the Civil Administration Office was closed . He was happy that they didn't sign the divorce papers that day, and he felt comforted that Xuxu was still his wife . She was still his official as his spouse .
He felt that heaven was on his side and had given him another chance for him to make things right .
He opened his car door and started the engine as he raced after the taxi in front .
