Fated to Love You Again (Shawn and Norah)

Chapter 131: The Last Tenderness Before Separation 1

"Do you really want to get a divorce?" Lu Jianshen looked at her, and the words he asked were getting harder one by one.

"Yes."

Nan Xi answered concisely, but Lu Jianshen saw certainty and determination in her eyes, almost without a hint of hesitation.

He was in pain, he suffered.

He is unwilling to give up, ten thousand loathe to give up.

But even if he couldn't let go, nothing will change.

He was simply not qualified to keep her around.

"I can promise you, on one condition."

"What condition?"

"When you get well, accompany me on a trip to my grandparents' hometown."

Nan Xi nodded: "Okay, I promise you."

These days, Nan Xi has been recuperating at home. Lu Jianshen has hired several professionals, one is to guide her in rehabilitation training, one is a nutrition mixer, specializing in the daily diet of each meal, and Ms. Penny Gregson, specializing in preparing meals according to the nutritionist's recipes.

Under professional guidance, Nan Xi's body did recover much faster, and her face was also more rosy.

As for the "baby", she and Lu Jianshen did not mention it again as if they had a tacit agreement.

It has become an unmentionable scar in the hearts of they two, and it hurts and bleeds when touched.

No one dares to mention it again.

Some pain, some suffering, even if festering into sores in the heart, there is no courage to open them again.

The fifth day of recuperation, Nan Xi received a phone call from professor Young.

"Mrs. young, Are you back home?" A small smile finally appeared on Nan Xi's face.

"Nan Xi, I may still need more time here, not so soon to go back, if you are in a hurry, you can go to the hospital first and find another teacher to carry you."

"Mrs. Young, you can take your time with the exchange, I'll wait for you to come back, and I also happen to have a few things to deal with here, there is no delay at all."

Hearing this, professor Young was much relieved.

After hanging up the phone, Nanxi breathed a sigh of relief.

Although things have been so bad lately that her life seems to have fallen into a valley of darkness all of a sudden, fortunately the gods have not been too cruel, allowing a ray of bright sunshine to shoot into her devastated life.

Originally, she should have gone to the hospital to join.

The hospital also assigned her a leading teacher, and when she got the list, Nan Xi was surprised, because the teacher who guided her happened to be Mrs. Young.

She is the wife of her mentor when she was a graduate student.

At that time, Nan Xi was grateful that she could have a professor with her, and even many of the new interns were very envious of her.

Later Nan Xi realized that it was because of the mentor's help, and she was touched to tears at that moment.

The mentor just patted her shoulder and encouraged her to do a good job.

As a doctor, it is her vocation to save lives and help the injured, and since she has chosen to do so, she will definitely practice to the end. Fortunately, her life is not yet completely suffocated to the point of hopelessness.

Now that Mrs. Young is going to return home a little later, it gives her the opportunity to make good use of this time to straighten herself out. When she joins the team, everything will be a brand new start.

These days, Lu Jianshen always leaves early and returns late, so Nan Xi has very few chances to meet him.

In the morning, when she just woke up, he had already gone out;

When he came back at night, she was already asleep.

Each time when it was late at night and Nan Xi was asleep, Lu Jianshen would sneak into her room and sit beside her.

Sometimes, he was just standing beside her, looking at her lingeringly and reluctantly;

Sometimes, he would simply talk to her about some of the events happened that day.

Sometimes, he did not say anything, just looking at her quietly, as if there is never enough to see.

When he left, he would bend over to drop a soft kiss on her forehead.

For seven days in a row, Lu Jianshen did the same things every single day.

This night, he came back very late, and his body is wearing a smell of alcohol.

For fear that the strong smell of alcohol will get Nan Xi smoked, Lu Jianshen intentionally took a shower, and then dressed in clean clothes before going to her room.

When he arrived, Nan Xi was already asleep. Her small sleeping face looked serene and soft in the moonlight, making him so loving.

Her eyes were closed and her small, red lips were gently pursed.

But if Lu Jianshen looked a little more carefully, he would have found that her eyelashes were trembling gently.

Barefoot, he slid directly to sit on the floor next to Nan Xi.

After sitting for a while, he turned around and looked lovingly at Nan Xi's soft cheeks: "Honey, this may be the last time I call you like this. There're 365 days in a year, more than two years, we've spent more than 800 days and nights together, originally I had so much time to call you, but I didn't cherish it."

"I know you can't forgive me, in fact, I can't forgive meself either."

"Do you understand why I want to take you to grandparents' hometown?"

"Grandpa and Grandma were very loving when they were alive, and from my limited memory, grandpa always protected and loved grandma. In fact I want to tell you I would like to treat you the same way grandpa treated grandma in the future. I have a selfish thought, I hope you can reconsider our marriage and give me another chance after seeing grandpa and grandma's former house." "But I only dare to tell you these secretly when you're sleeping!"

It turned out that the famous and unbeatable Lu Jianshen also had moments of cowardice and fear.

This is something he never imagined before, but when this day really came and this person really appeared, he realized that nothing was impossible in this world.

He was too conceited and arrogant before.

When leaving, Lu Jianshen lowered his head, and prepared to drop a precious kiss on her forehead as usual.

Looking at Nanxi's serene face, he leaned down. However, just as the kiss was about to land on her forehead, he suddenly changed his mind.

Downward, his eyes fell on Nan Xi's soft, red lips. Suddenly, he didn't want to think about anything else, lowered his head, and kissed her without hesitation.

Her lips, are very tender, very soft.

Warm, as the taste of memory, let him linger.

It's the last time, it may be the last chance, let him wanton once, reckless once.

"I'm sorry Xi!"

Finally, Lu Jianshen left the room gently after saying these words.

As soon as he left, on the bed, Nan Xi gently opened her eyes.

She didn't fall asleep. She knew when Lu Jianshen just came in.

She just didn't know how to face him, so she pretended to sleep.

After so much ups and downs, the two of them are finally missed. When she married him, she was almost at desperate risk, believing that as long as time goes by, they'll always be in love, he will forget the past and fall in love with her.

But now she understands that "time" is useless against love.

Some people, love at first sight, just a glance is enough to fall in love, such as her.

And some people, even if it's a lifetime, but not enough to fall in love, such as Lu Jianshen.

They are, after all, destined to miss each other.

The next morning, the two packed their bags and headed to their grandparents' hometown, which was the last stop before the divorce.

A three-day round trip, three days later, they'll be going on their own new journey, no more ties.
