After the kiss, I leaned against his shoulder, breathing heavily.
He held me tightly and softly called my name: "Duo'er."
"Mm?" I responded with my eyes closed.
"It's nothing," he said gently. "Just go to sleep early."
"Okay." I replied and closed my eyes, preparing to sleep.
Halfway through my sleep, I suddenly remembered the sleeping pills in another room, so I struggled to climb out of Xiao Cheng's embrace.
As soon as I moved, Xiao Cheng locked his arms around my waist, preventing me from moving.
I had no choice but to call out to him: "Xiao Cheng."
He responded with a low "Mm."
The room suddenly became very quiet, and I could clearly hear his heartbeat.
Thump, thump...
Steady and strong, one after another.
He suddenly buried his head in my shoulder, sounding a bit aggrieved: "You never used to call me by my full name like this."
I: "..."
I let out a dry laugh: "Then what should I call you?"
He lifted his head, stared into my eyes, and said earnestly, word by word, “Acheng.”
My breath caught.
It had been many years since I had heard those two words.
I turned over to face him, wrapped my arms around his waist, and smiled, “Acheng.”
He looked at me, his eyes unblinking, as if probing my emotions.
After a moment, he leaned in closer, reducing the distance between us.
Suddenly, I remembered something.
In the early days of our marriage, he was just as gentle with me.
But later on, so much happened between us.
Both of us changed.
But… if he truly loved me, how could he be so attentive to Yong Nan?
Today marks our fifth wedding anniversary.
Xiao Cheng had been busy in the kitchen all afternoon, making the home romantic and warm.
The dishes on the table emitted a rich aroma.
Bright roses were arranged on the table, and next to them was a speaker playing soothing music.
I looked at him, a hint of surprise flashing in my eyes.
"Mm."
He walked over, took my hand, and led me to the table, pulling out a chair for me to sit down.
"Here."
He pulled out two plane tickets from behind him. "I promised you before, for our wedding anniversary, I’m taking you out."
"Thank you, Xiao Cheng."
"Fool, why are you being so polite with me?"
We sat at the table eating, the atmosphere warm and romantic.
However, just then, Xiao Cheng's phone suddenly rang.
He stood up, walked over to the coffee table, and glanced at his phone.
I looked up at him and noticed his brow furrowed slightly, as if he was troubled.
I put down my chopsticks and asked him, "What's wrong?"
He pressed his lips together and said, "It's Yong Nan calling."
My heart sank suddenly.
Xiao Cheng answered the phone.
On the other end, I could hear Yong Nan crying, "Acheng, I'm not feeling well, and there's no one around... Can you come and keep me company?"
Her voice was intermittent and very pitiful, making one feel heartbroken just listening to it.
Xiao Cheng held the phone, remaining silent for a long time before finally speaking, "Yong Nan, if you're not feeling well, you should call the hospital."
"Acheng, do you know that during my hardest times, the first person I think of is you? Are you really not willing to be with me?"
Xiao Cheng fell silent again.
I quietly watched him, observing his reaction.
After a long while, he lifted his head and met my gaze.
In his eyes, I saw hesitation and inner turmoil.
