I took the pen and signed my name.
[When you and Bai Keqing get married, remember to invite me. I'll give you a big red envelope and wish you a second child.]
Gu Mujin forced a smile with a heavy heart.
For the past month, all I could think about was divorcing Gu Mujin, but now that I'm divorced, all I want to do is cry.
I tidied up my workstation and left the place where I had worked for three years.
As I walked out of the company, I wanted to call someone to talk to, but I realized that over the years, I no longer had any relatives or friends to communicate with.
I didn't go home to pack my bags, instead I turned around and bought a airplane ticket.

I rented a house in Dali for three months in one go.
The air here is very good, the food is delicious, and most importantly, no one knows me, and I won't be bothered by past troubles and people anymore.
Every day I can do different things with friends here, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, everything is so peaceful and pleasant.
[Zixi, let's go, let's go into the mountains together to pick mushrooms.]
This is my innkeeper, Jia Yudi, we all call him Mr. Jia, he and I are fellow villagers and alumni, and he takes special care of me.
Today he invited me and another long-term renting girl to go into the mountains to pick mushrooms. There is a small chicken mushroom in our hometown, and we use the mushrooms here to make a delicious and fragrant soup.
["Oh, Mr. Jia even dressed up specially for going up the mountain today. Is it for me, or for our beautiful Zixi?"]
"Go on, stop kidding around. Tidying up a bit can make a person look more energetic."
"Stop pretending. I know exactly what you were like before Zixi came. You can't even compare to how you are now. Love truly is a man's tonic."
"Don't talk nonsense. Even if I have feelings for Miss Zixi, she may not necessarily like me in return."
"Mr. Jia, stop joking around. Pay attention to the road and drive carefully."
I quickly changed the subject when I saw the two of them joking more and more out of line.
I know Mr. Jia has feelings for me, but I currently don't want to have any contact with the opposite sex.
So the best way to reject someone is to pretend to be deaf and dumb.
Just like how Gu Mujin did to me back then.
During this month of separation from Gu Mujin, I occasionally think of him, but most of the time I am trying hard to forget him.
He has not contacted me at all this month, except for a phone call at four in the morning today, which was probably a mistake. I didn't mind, thinking that if it was urgent, he would definitely call again.
【We've arrived, let's get off the car.】
There's no signal on the mountain, so I left my phone and bag in the car.
We spent the whole morning picking two large baskets of mushrooms, and only returned to the inn at noon.
After descending the mountain, my phone finally regained signal, and as soon as it turned on, it was bombarded by calls and messages from Gu Mujin's friends and family.
An ominous premonition pressed upon my heart, and my right eyelid couldn't stop twitching.
Trembling, I carefully scrolled through each message until I reached the end. The thing I feared had still happened.
That was a text message from Gu Mujin's father:
【Gu Mujin passed away at 9:38 this morning, please return home quickly.】
I stared at the phone in disbelief, tears streaming down my cheeks and dropping onto the screen.
How could this happen, how could this happen!

"Miss Ling Zixi, please take a look at the will. The contents are largely similar to the divorce agreement Mr. Gu Mujin gave you before."
You can unconditionally receive 50% of Mr. Gu Mujin's inheritance.
