On the day Bai Xiaoruo and Xian Mingyu held their wedding, she had only just celebrated her 18th birthday a few days prior. Her husband was a full 8 years older than her.
In the eyes of outsi...
The plane has been off the plane for a while now.
Bai Xiaoruo looked at each of the photos she had taken and was very satisfied with them all.
However, I still feel like something is missing.
Her expectant gaze fell upon Xuan Mingyu, who was sitting to the side idly flipping through a magazine. Taking advantage of his momentary lapse in attention, she quickly shot the camera at him and snapped a picture.
What are you doing?
Hsien Ming-yu was looking down at a magazine when he caught a glimpse of the Polaroid camera in her hand, which was pointed at him. He looked up at her.
"Oh, no, I just thought the clouds outside the window were pretty, so I took a picture."
Feeling guilty, she quickly took the photo and put it in her shirt pocket.
"Isn't your seat right by the window?"
"I...I think the clouds outside your window are pretty. I was really just taking pictures of the clouds, definitely not of you," she hurriedly explained to him.
This idiot, she blurted out all her little thoughts, how could Xian Mingyu not notice?
"This will not be repeated."
He lowered his head and continued flipping through the magazine in his hand.
Bai Xiaoruo breathed a small sigh of relief.
I still couldn't help but ask him, "Do you hate taking pictures? I've seen your childhood photo album, and you were quite cooperative in them. Besides... you're not ugly."
"Just because you liked something when you were a child doesn't mean you'll like it when you grow up," he answered her question casually.
The reason was not stated directly.
"Then...can I take a picture with you? Just as a souvenir."
"What are you keeping as a memento?"
“Well… didn’t we sign an agreement before we got married? Now… there’s only half the time left. When that time comes, I won’t occupy your wife’s position anymore. I’ll pack my things and leave cleanly. I know you won’t want to remember me, but… I want to remember you forever.”
Listening to Bai Xiaoruo's sincere words, Xuan Mingyu was not so happy.
Was she so eager to leave him?
He's not in a hurry to let her leave, so why is she in such a rush!
Are you in such a hurry to throw yourself into the arms of the next man?
The thought that after their divorce, he would go from being her husband to her ex-husband, and that she would marry someone else, even have children with another man, and live a happy life with another man, with him no longer a part of her life, made Xian Mingyu inexplicably irritable.
What does the agreement matter? The decision is in his hands. If he won't let her leave, where else can she go?
"That agreement was nothing more than a worthless piece of paper."
"Huh?" Bai Xiaoruo didn't quite understand what Xian Mingyu meant.
He didn't explain further to her, his tone sounding somewhat impatient: "We're on our honeymoon right now, and there's still so much time before that agreement is due. Why do you have to bring up all that nonsense to annoy me?"
"I...I'm sorry, I won't say it." What she feared most was making him angry; she seemed to have said the wrong thing again.
"Don't say those three words to me. What else do you say all day long besides those three words?" He didn't blame her for anything. She always put on that pitiful and innocent expression, saying sorry endlessly. Anyone who didn't know better would think that he had done something to her.
Was she his wife or his servant?
"I... if you don't want to hear it, I won't say it again." Bai Xiaoruo unbuckled her seatbelt without permission and got up to move to another seat.
She kept her distance from him, so that he wouldn't have to see her or be bothered by her presence.
She had just stood up to leave her seat when Xuan Mingyu grabbed her arm. "Where are you going?"
“Go somewhere you can’t see me,” she answered him honestly.
"If you're so capable, jump off from here and I won't be able to see you anymore."
This girl is really becoming more and more difficult to talk to. She gets upset if you say anything to her, and her temper has become too spoiled.
"You!" Bai Xiaoruo was already heartbroken enough, and he still had to be so sarcastic!
"Sit still, we're about to arrive."
"Are we getting ready to arrive in the US? So fast?" We just took off not long ago.
Bai Xiaoruo obediently sat back in her seat and fastened her seatbelt again.
She looked out the window curiously. If they were almost there, why hadn't the plane started descending yet?
Xuan Mingyu was just casually trying to coax her; it would take at least four or five hours to reach M country. But Bai Xiaoruo stared intently out the window, hoping that she would see the small city in the next second and get off the plane onto the ground immediately.
As she watched, Bai Xiaoruo grew tired and yawned. Seeing her exhausted appearance, Xuan Mingyu gently pulled her head to rest on his shoulder. "Go to sleep if you're sleepy. We'll be there when you wake up."
"Really? Then remember to wake me up."
"Um."
I already woke up very early today, and because I was too excited last night, I didn't get much sleep. I'm feeling sleepy now, so I'm just trying to catch up on my sleep.
Bai Xiaoruo was indeed extremely sleepy, so she leaned on Xuan Mingyu's shoulder and quickly fell asleep.
Xuan Mingyu looked down at the person sleeping soundly on his shoulder, and gently called over a staff member to bring a thicker blanket to cover her.
After chattering for most of the day, they've finally quieted down.
......
When the plane landed safely in Country M, Bai Xiaoruo was still asleep. The staff member next to her was about to ask if they should wake her up, but Xian Mingyu gestured for them to keep quiet.
He slowly unbuckled her seatbelt, then unbuckled his own, and then picked her up from her sleep and carried her off the plane.
