Chapter 1007

The expression on Gao Zhan's face instantly froze, as if he hadn't expected Shen Ci to suddenly propose a breakup, and said it so neatly.

"Why, why?" Gao Zhan's handsome brows twisted, his expression clearly a bit panicked: "Is it because I've been too busy lately and have too little time to accompany you? Aci, I..."

Shen Ci shook her head, interrupting Gao Zhan's words. She smiled slightly, smiling very softly, and there was no negative emotion in that smile.

Her tone remained stable: "Don't overthink it, I understand the nature of your work, and I respect your work very much. You should also know that I am not the kind of person who would get angry because of such things."

"Then, then why?" Gao Zhan asked urgently, desperately wanting an answer.

Shen Ci took a light breath and said: "I just bumped into Aunt Bai, she hopes that I will settle things with you as soon as possible after graduation..."

Hearing this, Gao Zhan breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward to hold Shen Ci's shoulders, and comforted her softly: "You don't have to pay attention to Aunt Bai. Whether it's Aunt Bai or my dad, the older generation must be thinking about these things, but I don't want you to marry me as soon as you graduate. This is a matter between the two of us..."

"Gao Zhan." Shen Ci suddenly straightened her expression, which also made the expression on Gao Zhan's face straighten. Shen Ci said earnestly: "It's not a problem with Aunt Bai and Uncle, nor is it your problem, but my problem."

Before Gao Zhan could react, Shen Ci blurted out: "It's not that I can't marry you after graduation, but that I won't marry you in the future."

Gao Zhan's brows tightened, as if he couldn't digest the meaning of Shen Ci's words for a while.

Seeing this, Shen Ci simply made it clearer: "You can also understand it as, I won't marry anyone."

Gao Zhan's mouth moved, and he didn't know how to react for a while.

"Aunt Bai is right, I should consider you." Shen Ci's tone softened a little, and a touch of faint warmth flashed in her eyes, "We haven't been together for a long time, but during this time, I was indeed very happy. You are a very good person and deserve a complete happiness, a happiness that can go to the end."

After speaking, Shen Ci lowered her eyes slightly, raised her hand to gently push away Gao Zhan's hands that were still on her shoulders, and then turned to leave.

Gao Zhan suddenly recovered and chased after her: "Aci!"

Shen Ci stopped and looked back at Gao Zhan. Her expression was very calm, without any emotional fluctuation caused by the breakup.

It could be seen that for this relationship, she had been clear-headed from beginning to end, completely controlling the direction of the relationship, never being carried away by emotions, and never losing her mind because of feelings.

But Gao Zhan was different. Shen Ci was his first love and his first time, which was obviously extraordinary and the most unforgettable.

"Aci, I don't want to get married immediately either, we can still continue to be together."

He couldn't bear to separate, at least not yet.

Shen Ci said softly: "No matter when you get married, the result is the same. I think this timing is just right, good for you and good for me."

"We are both very rational people, see clearly the essence of this relationship, and also see clearly the result. I think you can understand me."

"Thank you for this period of time, thank you for loving me."

After saying this, Shen Ci turned to leave again, but Gao Zhan blurted out: "Then have you ever loved me?"

Shen Ci's lowered eyelashes trembled gently when she heard this question, but she paused for only a moment, and then whispered: "Goodbye, Gao Zhan." and turned away.

She didn't answer this question, but Gao Zhan already knew the answer.

Walking out of the hospital gate, Shen Ci took a deep breath, and the dullness in her chest dissipated instantly.

She didn't have too much psychological burden, let alone half a guilt—in this relationship, she had also invested wholeheartedly, treated every moment seriously, never perfunctory, and never betrayed.

Her only requirement for herself was to be able to leave calmly when ending a relationship, without entanglement, without internal friction.

A relationship is never a one-man show, but a common choice of two people. Since choosing to end it, there is no need to owe each other, let alone feel sorry.

If it is destined to be unable to enter marriage, then isn't it a kind of completeness to leave gracefully at the most beautiful point of the relationship?

"B-broke up?"

Gu Lianxing was shocked when she heard this news: "Why?"

Shen Ci leaned on the sofa and sighed gently: "Not why, there are not so many whys."

Pili couldn't help but frown when she heard this: "Then there must be a reason? For example, cheating, then Gao Zhan shouldn't be that kind of person, it wouldn't be you who cheated, right?"

Shen Ci widened her eyes: "Big sister, listen to yourself, is this outrageous?"

"Then... quarreled?"

Shen Ci blurted out: "You guys just treat it as me not wanting to delay him."

Several people understood instantly.

Shen Yuzhen, as a relationship master, nodded in agreement: "Gao Zhan has indeed reached the age of marriage, then Aci definitely doesn't have the idea of marriage. Anyway, you guys only talked for such a short time, just treat it as tasting fresh, and let go when the time comes, it's good not to delay others."

Gu Lianxing looked at Shen Ci's thoughtful look, and finally couldn't help but sigh: "Aci, really, I don't serve anyone, I just admire you. You really talk about love as soon as you talk about it, and you are serious when you talk about it, but you can break up immediately when you want to break up. You are simply a god!"

Shen Ci looked at Lianxing and explained calmly: "Talking about it as soon as you talk about it is because you are really greedy for people's bodies. Being serious when talking about it is the most basic respect for the matter of love. Being able to break up as soon as you want to break up is the ability to control a relationship."

"I hope you are the same, having the impulse and courage to invest in feelings, and also the courage and wisdom to stop the relationship."

"Love is something we should treat as a seasoning for life, not everything, and don't lose yourself or cry bitterly for it."

Shen Yuzhen showed an aunt smile after hearing this speech: "It is recommended to print this speech just now into the nine-year compulsory education."

Gu Lianxing turned to look at Jiang Lingchuan, who was burying his head in eating desserts: "Did you hear that? If you don't perform well, I will eliminate you in minutes like Aci!"

Jiang Lingchuan raised his head and blinked innocently.

Several people couldn't help laughing when they saw his cute state, but Shen Ci looked at the two thoughtfully and suddenly said subconsciously: "I feel that you two can get married."

"Ah?" Gu Lianxing blinked in shock, and then her small face turned red instantly: "Aci, don't talk nonsense, who, who wants to marry him!"

Shen Ci laughed and waved her hand: "Premonition, premonition, just talking for fun."

Jiang Lingchuan didn't hear what the girls were talking about, but only heard this sentence, and smiled naively: "Classmate Shen Ci, borrow your auspicious words."
