Jiang Can felt a mix of emotions, and she gripped the blanket even tighter with her small hands.
During this time, she was also seriously considering her relationship with Huo Zhixing, and then she remembered what the fortune-telling old lady she had met outside the guesthouse had said—
Within a ten-foot radius, he is a husband; beyond a ten-foot radius, he is not.
A bitter taste suddenly welled up in her throat.
The old lady said they would separate sooner or later...
She glanced at Huo Zhixing and, in the dim light, saw that the red string was still wrapped around his wrist. At the time, she had laughed at him for believing such a thing.
But in reality, he is not someone who easily trusts others.
The reason I chose to believe it was true was because I was too afraid of losing her.
Jiang Can took a deep breath. She was the same way, afraid of not having him in her life, afraid of losing him.
If fate insists on separating them by a zhang (approximately 3.3 meters), then she will desperately try to step into that zhang!
She slowly peeked her little head out from under the covers, her voice as soft as the night, "Huo Zhixing."
Huo Zhixing's heart trembled violently. He pricked up his ears to listen, but dared not turn around, remaining in this stiff posture.
"I should be going to Central City in a few days."
"What did you say?"
Jiang Can chuckled softly, "Are you hard of hearing?"
Huo Zhixing pinched himself to make sure he wasn't dreaming, then suddenly rolled over and sat up, staring blankly at her.
"real?"
"Hmm." She said softly, "Xiao Cheng is going to university, and Mom wants to move to a different place, so we decided to go to Yangcheng."
He immediately wanted to say that he would arrange everything, but Jiang Can seemed to see through his thoughts and stepped forward to say:
"Don't worry about this. I've already found a place to stay and submitted a few resumes. I should have a company call me up for an interview soon."
“Can Can…”
Her voice trailed off, "We're just going to live in the central city."
Huo Zhixing understood what she meant; she was just taking her mother to change their living environment, and coincidentally, Yin Cheng was admitted to Yangcheng University.
None of this concerns him; she didn't want to go to Yangcheng because of him.
He was a little disappointed, but quickly smiled with relief.
At least the distance between them has been shortened, and she is willing to live in the same city as him.
As long as they are together, he will be able to take care of her and protect her.
At this moment, Jiang Can called his name softly again.
His instinctive response was, "What's wrong, honey?"
In the shadows, Jiang Can's face flushed slightly as she whispered, "Give me your phone."
"Huh?" He was taken aback. Was his wife going to check up on him?
If she checks up on him, it proves that he still holds a high place in her heart...
He was flattered and quickly handed her his phone, telling her the password was her birthday. Then he adjusted himself into a comfortable position, rested his head on his arm, and watched her browse through his phone, smiling contentedly.
The screen's dim light illuminated her face and her shimmering eyes.
His heart was also filled with her gentle and charming image.
“Um…” He coughed twice, “Don’t just look at the messages, take a look at the emails and call logs too. The people I’ve been in frequent contact with are a few of my close confidants in Yangcheng, all men! Recently it’s been Shen Xiao and Xiao Cheng, oh right, and Lu Lishan, he…”
"Here you go." Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Can handed the phone back to him.
Huo Zhixing was taken aback. So fast?
Jiang Can said softly, "I didn't look at your phone."
"What did you just do?"
She pointed to the screen, and he noticed that the date had changed.
It has become a year ago.
"Didn't you say you wanted to go back to the beginning?" Jiang Can said softly, "This time last year was our wedding day."
That was the first time they met. Jiang Can braved the heavy rain to come to that small village house, her white wedding dress covered in mud.
The village elders say that getting married in that kind of weather won't bring happiness.
Unexpectedly, they became the happiest people in the world.
Huo Zhixing's heart stirred, and he slowly moved closer to the bedside, using the starlight that shone through to see her soft, white hand draped outside the blanket.
He reached out and grasped her hand. Jiang Can tried to pull away, but she couldn't overcome the man's strength and eventually gave up, obediently letting him hold her hand.
His hands were thick and warm, making her feel exceptionally safe.
His low, hoarse voice came from the darkness:
"Now that we've returned to a year ago, let's get to know each other again."
"My name is Huo Zhixing. Although my family has some money, I'm not very ambitious. I just want to stay with my wife and have her support me for the rest of my life."
"Wife," he smiled indulgently, "I don't want to go out to work. After we go back to Yangcheng, you can support me, okay?"
Jiang Can remained silent, her eyes welling up with tears, a feeling of wanting to cry stuck in her throat, yet the smile on her face rippled outwards like waves.
A voice inside her was already shouting, "Okay, I'll support you. Even if you don't go out to work, I'll still support you."
I'll take care of you for the rest of my life.
Jiang Can smiled, and a tear slowly rolled down her cheek.
...
Before leaving, Lin Yuqing hugged Jiang Can tightly, unwilling to let go.
The two had been together since their student days, and their bond was even stronger than that of sisters. With Jiang Can leaving, Lin Yuqing felt a void in her heart, and her eyes were still red all the way to the airport.
"Take good care of yourself when you get there!" Lin Yuqing whispered in her ear, holding her hand. "Don't be afraid to trouble Huo Zhixing. You've been husband and wife for a year, and I think he'd love to do something for you!"
"Yes, I know," Jiang Can chuckled. "You don't need to worry about me!"
"How could I not worry! Sigh, actually it's pointless for me to tell you, you definitely wouldn't go to Huo Zhixing if something happened to you! Can Can, don't be silly, he lied to you for a year, now it's only right that he plucks stars and the moon for you!"
