Thunder rumbled outside the window, and Jiang Xia listened to the whispers coming from her phone, slightly lost in thought.
"What do you mean, baby?"
"Let's make up." Lin Yanwan suppressed her racing heart and continued, "No matter what the future holds, I want to have another passionate romance with you."
"Our marriage began with dating, and it should end with dating."
Jiang Xia suddenly understood what the phrase "to put an end to the marriage" meant. Was it to use a romance to say a final goodbye to this relationship?
But isn't she afraid of making things worse and tightening the bond between them?
Or perhaps it's not that they're not afraid, but rather that they're finding an excuse to convince themselves of their own thoughts.
“Before you called, I dreamt of our wedding,” Jiang Xia said softly.
"Hmm?" Lin Yanwan subconsciously held her breath, not understanding why he suddenly said this at this time.
"Baby, I want to hold you tomorrow."
She felt relieved instantly.
"Hmm~"
No one mentioned the date the relationship ended, but they all seemed to know the perfect day for breaking up after falling in love.
They don't care about the future, they only care about the present. At least for now, they are still lovers.
"Does your stomach still hurt?"
"It hurts. I found a lot of blood when I changed my underwear. I was in so much pain that I couldn't fall asleep for a long time at night."
"Let me rub it for you."
"You can't reach it anyway."
"I'll massage it tomorrow."
Lin Yanwan blushed slightly, perhaps thinking of some scene, and then let out a cute nasal sound.
"Um."
Jiang Xia couldn't help but smile. Even though they were an old married couple and had touched and kissed every part of her body, he suddenly longed to hold her soft body in his arms and embrace her tightly.
So, even your mindset becomes younger after being reborn?
The thunder subsided silently. Lin Yanwan, immersed in the sweetness of love, said softly, "When I called you just now, I was really afraid I would call Mom instead. By the way, how did my phone end up with you?"
"I don't know either. She suddenly gave it to me last night. I thought she was going to give me a lecture."
Jiang Xia still finds it unbelievable when he thinks about it now. His mother had just given him his cell phone, and that very evening he received a call from his wife.
This coincidence is just too outrageous.
Could it be that Mom's real intention was to make him use his phone to date because she was eager to have a grandson?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Why should I educate you?
"Then isn't it your fault? Why did you call Dad for no reason? He came back and complained to my mom. You know my mom is a teacher. Early relationships seriously affect studies, so of course she has to interfere."
Lin Yanwan blushed and retorted, "How can you blame me? You also subconsciously called her 'Mom'."
"She was always my mother."
"That would only happen after we get married in this lifetime..."
She answered instinctively, but before she could finish speaking, both of them froze, and a brief silence fell over the air.
Jiang Xia swallowed hard, deliberately changing the subject: "I won't call you by the wrong name next time."
"Hmm..." Lin Yanwan asked softly, "Do you want to sleep a little longer?"
"No, I have to go to morning self-study soon. If I fall asleep now, I really won't be able to wake up again." He said with a smile, glancing at the time and realizing it was almost 5 o'clock. They had been talking on the phone for an hour without realizing it.
"I'll call you."
"No, I want to hold you sooner."
"I want to too," she answered softly.
"Baby, I'm hanging up now. I'm getting ready to get up. If I keep calling, my phone will probably run out of credit."
"I'll make it for you," Lin Yanwan said earnestly.
During this period, her family's factory had not yet completely gone bankrupt, and her family usually gave her a considerable amount of pocket money. She was considered a hidden little rich girl in her class. However, she had always been frugal and saved any pocket money she couldn't use.
In fact, when her family urgently needed money, her savings of many years helped her parents out of their predicament.
"I almost forgot, you're a real little rich girl now," Jiang Xia laughed. "Would you say I've hooked up with a big shot?"
"Hmph~ Only phone credit is available."
"Then I'll hang up."
"Um."
After a few seconds, there was still no busy tone on the other end of the phone. Lin Yanwan asked, "Why haven't you hung up yet?"
"Have you forgotten something?"
"What?" she asked, her face filled with confusion.
"Think about it carefully, what happened after we finished talking on the phone when we were dating?"
She blinked, her face instantly turning red. In the past, she would always end a phone call with a coquettish kiss, but she only became more restrained after getting married.
"I...I've forgotten."
"I don't believe it!"
"Hmph, mua~"
Before he could answer, Lin Yanwan quickly hung up the phone, blushing and covering her burning cheeks with the blanket, as if she had returned to the scene of their first kiss.
Hearing the beeping sound from the other end of the phone, Jiang Xia blinked, remaining lost in thought for a long time.
He was just joking, but his wife actually gave him a "mua," and more importantly, he felt a long-lost sense of excitement.
The thought of holding her soft body in his arms later made him feel an uncontrollable heat rising in his heart.
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Xia threw off the covers and got out of bed. It was still pitch black outside the window, but the rain had lessened and was drizzling down. It looked like it might rain all day.
After getting dressed, I tiptoed to the bathroom to wash up, then found my thermos that I hadn't used in years, washed it clean, soaked red dates and ginger slices in it, grabbed an umbrella and a flashlight, and carried my sketches out the door.
The rainy days in March were still a bit cold. The flowers and plants in the neighborhood had been battered by thunderstorms and strong winds all night, and their withered leaves were scattered everywhere.
Jiang Xia carefully avoided the floodwaters and happened to encounter the early morning bus as he left the community. When he saw that the route would pass through Jinxiu Huacheng, a thought suddenly struck him.
◇
After hanging up the phone, Lin Yanwan stayed in bed for a while longer before her nervous and shy heart gradually calmed down.
Although they initially agreed to be just ordinary friends, she was honest in her heart; she couldn't forget Jiang Xia's kindness to her and couldn't ignore it.
It was only after saying "make up" that I could truly relax.
She slapped her face hard, but couldn't help fantasizing about how she would meet him today, just like their first date, and her heart started racing.
I washed my face twice with facial cleanser and even looked at myself in the mirror for a long time, but in the end I gave up on the idea of wearing light makeup. I just lightly clipped my hair up, which made me look more ladylike.
She is still a high school student, and besides, her flawless, youthful face is beautiful enough even without makeup.
After getting everything ready, Lin Yanwan took her umbrella and went out. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Jiang Xia standing outside with a gentle expression, water dripping from the umbrella in her hand.
"Baby, I'm here to hold you."
Jiang Xia looked into her eyes and said softly.
