The air conditioner in the lobby of the Civil Affairs Bureau was turned on full blast. I sat on the cold metal chair and felt the coldness rushing from my butt to my heart.
The man opposite, Gu Beichen, was looking down at the divorce agreement in front of him. His fingers were long and white, tapping the table gently, and every sound was like a countdown.
"Sign it." He pushed the pen over and his voice was as calm as saying, "The weather is nice today."
I stared at the piece of paper, and the words "divorce agreement" on it made my eyes ache. When I got married three years ago, I thought I could warm this iceberg. Now it seems that I was ridiculously naive.
"Shen Qingge, don't waste time." He urged again, without even raising his eyes to look at me.
I took a deep breath, grabbed the pen, and signed my name. When I finished writing the last stroke, my hands were shaking a little, but I bit my lip and tried not to cry.
It suddenly became dark outside the window.
I looked up, and I didn't know when large dark clouds had gathered in the sky, pressing darkly over the city. A bolt of lightning struck down and hit the window of the Civil Affairs Bureau——
Boom!
The bright light made me close my eyes, and there was a buzz in my head, as if someone had knocked a heavy gong on my eardrums. My body fell backwards uncontrollably, the chair overturned, and my back hit the floor tiles. I grinned in pain.
"Miss Shen? Miss Shen, are you okay?" The staff ran over to help me.
