After dinner, Shiyue went back to her own yard first.
It's so hot.
Although Sister Cui kept telling her that their place was great, and that although it was hot during the day, it was very cool at night because it was by the sea, and that if you didn't cover yourself with a blanket in the middle of the night, you would be woken up by the cold.
But Shiyue didn't feel that way at all.
She felt sticky all over and could barely sit still.
When she got home, she turned on the bathroom tap and found that the water was ice cold.
This made Shiyue miss her hometown again.
Although there is no running water in my hometown, we can carry water and pour it into a large basin to dry in the sun.
That way, the water will be warm when you take a bath at night.
Shiyue thought that tomorrow she would have the man fetch some water and put it outside to dry in the sun, since the water would get hot before noon.
Since they didn't plan to eat separately, the fire wasn't lit in the courtyard, and Shiyue was too lazy to boil water.
She went straight into her small house.
Anyway, there was always running water in her little house, and she also stored boiled water there.
It wasn't too hot or too cold inside, so she simply took a shower there before coming out, saving herself the trouble of cleaning up.
Shiyue took a nice bath in the cabin.
Because there is a time limit for this cabin, and you can only stay inside for one hour each day, Shiyue has always been very careful.
She always felt that the time she had accumulated might come in very useful someday.
But today, she indulged herself for once, taking the big bath tub her father used to make for her when he was still alive and taking a good, long bath.
Not only did she take a shower, but she also washed her hair and even used the shampoo and shower gel she bought in the group.
I bought these two items a while ago, but I've never actually used them.
She never expected that just rubbing it casually would produce so many soap bubbles.
The bubbles smelled sweet and were white; they were so appealing to look at.
She was reluctant to come out because of all these bubbles.
Even Shiyue herself didn't know how long she had been washing.
She didn't get out of the bathtub until she realized her fingers were all wrinkled from being soaked.
She rinsed it again, cleaned the little house thoroughly, and then went home feeling refreshed.
As soon as Shiyue came out, she saw her husband sitting at the desk by the bed, and she was immediately startled!
"When did you come back?"
He Lixuan remained silent for a long time.
Although I had known for a long time that my wife had a space where she could come and go freely, this was the first time I had seen it with my own eyes.
This feeling is far more shocking than seeing her conjure objects out of thin air!
He Lixuan stared at his wife, whose hair was still wet and whose body was still damp from her shower, and suddenly reached out and hugged her tightly!
Then they hugged each other tightly.
"...What are you doing?" Shiyue was just asking when she was suddenly hugged and couldn't help but be taken aback.
Then I found it a little funny.
She nudged the man: "Get up, it's so hot."
"No!" He Lixuan hugged her even tighter.
He buried his face in his wife's still slightly damp hair, inhaling its pleasant scent.
At that moment, a sense of inexplicable panic rose in my heart.
He always felt that if he let go, his wife might disappear into thin air and he would never be able to find her again.
This thought made He Lixuan tighten his arms, pulling Shiyue tightly into his embrace.
Shiyue stopped moving.
She gently patted her husband's back, as if comforting a child.
Then she turned her head and kissed his thin, somewhat sunken cheek, and whispered, "What are you thinking about? I'm always here, don't worry, I'm not going anywhere."
He Lixuan's eyes suddenly felt hot.
He buried his face deeper into Shiyue's hair and swallowed hard, swallowing the lump that was stuck in his throat.
After a long pause, he said in a low voice, "You can't just disappear into thin air anymore. You must tell me before you go into that little house. Also, you can't stay inside for too long, no more than half an hour at a time, and you must come out on time."
Shiyue did not answer.
To be honest, she and He Lixuan have known each other for so long, and in all the time they've been dealing with each other, Shiyue has always been in the dominant position.
Even when they first met, this person rarely made any demands on her.
Even if you want her to do something, it's always something you discuss and agree upon.
Later, when the two started dating, he would agree to whatever she said.
The words Shiyue heard most often from He Lixuan were basically "okay," "fine," and "I understand."
There has never been a situation where rules were set directly for her like this before.
Seeing that Shiyue didn't reply, He Lixuan raised his head.
He looked at Shiyue with a stubborn gaze: "Did you hear what I just said?"
Shiyue didn't notice what he said next; her gaze fell on He Lixuan's slightly reddened eyes.
She discovered that the person was actually crying!
She was... both funny and touching.
Shiyue knew that her sudden appearance had startled the man.
She guessed that he was afraid she would just disappear and never come back.
Shiyue sighed silently in her heart.
She gently touched the man's face with both hands, looked into his eyes earnestly, and said, "Let's try again, see if we can get you in."
He Lixuan hesitated for a moment.
After thinking for a moment, he smiled gently.
Then he took his wife's hand, kissed her palm, and said, "I was just joking with you, don't take it to heart. Go ahead and do what you need to do, I'll always be there for you, I'll be there whenever you come back."
Looking into the man's gentle gaze, Shiyue's heart felt both bittersweet and tender, a feeling she couldn't quite describe.
She grabbed the man's hand tightly and said again, "Let's try again. There's nothing wrong with trying. What's there to be afraid of? Sit up and hold on tight to me."
Having said that, she composed herself and silently prayed in her heart with utmost sincerity, "Let's go in together."
The long-lost feeling of dizziness suddenly returned.
Shiyue felt a moment of dizziness, and when she came to her senses, she was already back in the cabin.
Everything in the cabin was as usual; even the moisture and fragrance left behind after her bath had been cleaned away and were no longer noticeable.
The only difference was that she had someone else with her; He Lixuan had come in with her.
A big smile immediately bloomed on Shiyue's face!
She pulled her husband, who was sitting on the ground, to her side, then gestured for him to come in, saying, "Welcome to my little house!"
He Lixuan sat on the ground, looking foolish.
Even when his wife tried to pull him up, he was barely able to move.
He was still a little dizzy, and his legs were weak, so he couldn't muster any strength.
Until his wife said to him, "Welcome to my cottage!"
He Lixuan then realized that what he was seeing was real; he had actually entered his wife's space!
