Chapter 52: The old must go before the new can come

Unexpectedly, Song Chengran easily accepted the divorce.
    Lin An said she was calm and she was also broken. Perhaps because of the disturbance caused by the gangsters at the ski resort, she didn't even feel sad.
    Song Chengran found the marks on Lin An's hands from being tied with ropes. Lin An didn't pay attention to his reaction. Her body was stiff and numb.
    Song Chengran went to the manager to get medicine. He took the medical cotton swab dipped in medicine and pulled Lin An's wrist to apply medicine to her. Lin An didn't want to accept his touch and wanted to pull her hand back.
    Song Chengran gently pulled her hand over again, and Lin An pulled it back again. After going back and forth several times, Song Chengran finally got some anger. "Divorce, divorce, don't take your body as an opportunity!"
    This sentence was like a loud noise, which completely awakened the confused Lin An. Her heart was broken like a spider web, her nose was sour, and she couldn't hold back her tears anymore.
    Song Chengran gritted his teeth, and his face was not good. He paused for a long time before continuing to apply medicine to Lin An.
    Fortunately, Lin An finally stopped going against him.
    The wrists that were coated with medicine seemed to be burning, and the pain was growing crazily, but the pain in the hands was far less than the pain in the heart.
    In fact, parting is simpler than imagined, as long as the words are spoken. They decided not to tell Grandma Song about the divorce for the time being. At this time of divorce, Lin An still took care of Grandma Song's emotions.
    On the way back to City A, Lin An did not take the initiative to speak, and Song Chengran was even more silent, and there was almost no conversation between the two. Every time they communicated before, Lin An would come up to her with a smile, and Song Chengran would give her a few words like alms, saying that this would not happen again in the future.
    He said that he would give her the house, car, and bank card, but Lin An did not want them. He only said that he would pack up and move out of this house within a few days.
    Song Chengran stammered and opened his mouth, but did not say anything.
    When it comes to giving up a relationship, Song Chengran is much more ruthless. He re-arranged Lin An to work under Dr. Jiang in the same department of the hospital, and his assistant was also replaced by Xu Lili.
    Lin An thought about it and decided that it was a good idea. No one wanted a divorced couple to see each other every day.
    ...
    This house was filled with their belongings. Lin An had a lot of small items at home, and the only things he could really take away were clothes, computers, and odds and ends.
    Lin An opened the drawer, and at the back was the ring they wore when they got married. He recalled their wedding, when the room was full of guests and the MC asked the groom to kiss the bride. After dozens of seconds, Song Chengran still didn't move, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward. But Lin An rushed over and kissed him on the cheek.
    Thinking about it this way, he should have been unwilling at the time.
    Lin An closed the ring box and put the ring back in the drawer. It won't be needed in the future. If it's left here, maybe Chengran will miss it when he sees it.
    Lin An couldn't help but sigh, and his one-sided relationship ended at the right time.
    Lin An packed up two suitcases, lamenting that the things looked few, but they were quite a lot when they were packed. She stood at the door of her house, pushing her suitcase. She looked back at the house where she had lived for a year and a half, as if she wanted to remember the placement of every piece of furniture.
    After thinking about it, she decided to take the honey in the refrigerator to the outermost part. Song Chengran had stomach problems, but he didn't take medicine. Usually, she would make warm honey water for him to drink. She was afraid that if she left, Song Chengran would not be able to find honey when he had a stomachache.
    "I'm leaving." Lin An murmured softly, as if saying goodbye to this home.
    She pulled the suitcase and got into a taxi. Looking at the dim street lights outside the window that seemed to be moving backwards, the confusion and sadness on her face were clear.
    Without someone leaving, no one can live, right? The earth will still turn, and tomorrow's sun will still rise.
    Lin An tried her best to ignore the empty space in her heart. Looking at the address that was slowly approaching on the mobile phone map, she felt that a new life was coming to her.
    Zhao Meili found a job in City A and has settled down. This time, Lin An planned to move to Zhao Meili's rental house temporarily and move out when he found a place.
    Lin An arrived at a residential area about 20 minutes' drive from the hospital, and stood outside the door and rang the doorbell. Lin An exhaled deeply, ready to give Zhao Meili a bear hug.
    Unexpectedly, the person who opened the door was a man.
    "Doctor Xiaobai?" Lin An's mind was stuck, and she almost continued to say that she had walked into the wrong door, but Doctor Xiaobai welcomed her in.
    Doctor Xiaobai's expression was not much smarter than Lin An's. He looked dazed. He just learned from Zhao Meili that his master Song Chengran was married, and the marriage partner was still Lin An.
    He was so shocked that his jaw could hardly close, and Zhao Meili broke another piece of news: they are now divorced.
    Doctor Xiaobai was so scared that he almost picked up the phone to ask Song Chengran if all this was true.
    Unexpectedly, Zhao Meili was living with Doctor Xiaobai. Zhao Meili ran out of a room in her pajamas. When she saw Lin An, she pulled her to sit in the living room angrily, slammed the table, and cursed: "Song Chengran didn't recognize people after pulling up his pants! He looked like a dog, but he was a beast in human clothing!" When
    Doctor Xiaobai heard that Song Chengran, who was high and mighty in his heart, was scolded, he immediately put down the suitcase he had brought in for Lin An, and said calmly: "I don't think Doctor Song is such a person."
    Lin An was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but frown. Zhao Meili was furious and poked Doctor Xiaobai with her elbow, asking him to go into the room.
    So, Doctor Xiaobai went into the room very aggrieved.
    In order to make Lin An happy, Zhao Meili ordered five servings of barbecue, half of which was her favorite chicken butt, and ordered Doctor Xiaobai to go downstairs to the supermarket to bring back a box of beer.
    Doctor Xiaobai accepted Zhao Meili's robbery behavior of not only forcing herself to live in his house but also often ordering him to do things. He went downstairs to buy beer happily.
    While Doctor Xiaobai was away, the two began to chat. Zhao Meili asked her, "Are you going to get a divorce this time?"
    Lin An said, "I am."
    "You're getting a divorce? Why don't you take anything? So many divorced women have taken away their men's property. Think about whether you are losing out or not?"
    Lin An envied these people a little. They could get a divorce so cleanly without feeling anything. Unlike her, she felt sad again and again.
    Lin An was straightforward in front of Zhao Meili, "Then did you take it?"
    Zhao Meili thought of her top ex. She and Lin An immediately felt that they were in the same boat. They hugged each other and laughed bitterly. Zhao Meili waved her hand domineeringly, "The old one doesn't go, the new one doesn't come! You can find a loyal dog like me in the future."
    At this time, the loyal dog just came back with something, silently put the beer and juice next to the table, and quietly went into the room again.
    Lin An didn't argue or respond, he just grabbed a bottle of juice and poured it down his throat. Zhao Meili said that this was not good enough and asked her to drink beer. Lin An looked at the beer and said blankly, "Since you don't allow me to drink."
    Zhao Meili got angry when she heard that and immediately opened two bottles of beer, "Bah! Scumbag! He's dead, he can't control you anymore!"
    Lin An is not a good drinker. Under Zhao Meili's instigation, he drank two large bottles and finally fell unconscious.
    There are two rooms here. Doctor Xiaobai's roommate moved out because of a job transfer, so one room was vacant, and Lin An could move in.
    Lin An was a little embarrassed to move in directly and said that he would share the rent. Doctor Xiaobai refused. After Lin An's persuasion, he agreed to let Lin An cook dinner as compensation.
    Lin An took three days off. He watched comedy movies and played games during these three days. It was refreshing to say that he was decadent. He stayed in the room alone, crying after watching movies and playing games. He almost shed all his tears in these three days.
    Three days later, everything started again!
    ...
    Song Chengran forgot to eat and sleep when he was busy. When he saw the word "Thailand" on the computer, he remembered that Doctor Jiang mentioned at noon that a new Thai restaurant had opened near the hospital. In the past, Lin An had been clamoring to go to eat Thai food with him once, and he happened to have time in the evening.
    He heard someone coming into the office, and Song Chengran asked without looking up: "Lin An, do we want to… tonight?"
    Unexpectedly, there was no response. Song Chengran looked up and saw Xu Lili looking at him in surprise, "Doctor Song, Lin An is no longer here."
    Song Chengran's throat was knotted and he was unable to speak.
    He didn't want to live while torturing himself and others. He hoped that she would be fine, but he also hurt her the most unintentionally.
    He lowered his head, his expression was still indifferent, only his fingers kept touching the burgundy scarf on his legs.
    The phone screen lit up and received a message from Su Lang.
    "Hey, baby, do you want to chat?"
    The author has something to say:
    Su Lang: Go and get her back!
    Song Chengran: She has her own life.
    Su Lang glared at him: You just want to piss me off to death!
