When the clock struck eleven in the evening, Qu Qingzhu returned home exhausted. The moment he stepped into the house, the silence in the house made his heart sink. He subconsciously looked around, but Qin Yunie was not there, so he immediately turned around and walked to the next door without hesitation.
It wasn't too early, nor too late, but for those like them, who toiled through life all day, it was undoubtedly already late at night. Every muscle in their body protested, aching and exhausted, their spirits drained, groggy and drowsy.
But even so, Qu Qingzhu still had a persistence in his heart. Only by seeing her in person could he calm his anxious heart.
Qu Qingzhu stood quietly in front of the door, taking a deep breath, trying to calm his slightly rapid breathing. He slowly reached out and carefully grasped the doorknob, his movements so gentle that he didn't want to make any noise and disturb her, who might already be asleep inside. Slowly, he turned the handle and pushed the door open little by little.
The sound of the door hinges turning was barely audible in the silent night. As the gap in the door gradually widened, the scene inside the house came into view.
A dim light was on in the bedroom, its soft glow casting a gentle glow on the floor, like a warm veil covering the cold night. He looked again, and saw the girl he had been thinking about leaning against the headboard, her head drooping weakly, her eyes closed, her breathing even and gentle, having already fallen asleep.
Her body was slightly curled up, and the quilt had slipped halfway down, exposing most of her body to the air, making her look somewhat pitiful.
Qu Qingzhu's eyes immediately revealed heartache and pity. He walked into the room quietly and slowly squatted down beside the bed.
At this moment, he saw Qin Yunie's hands spread out weakly on both sides, with the mobile phone still gently clamped between her fingers.
Qu Qingzhu gently took the phone from her fingers. The moment the phone left her fingers, the screen sensor lit up and the white light was a bit dazzling.
Perhaps the sudden light startled her. Qin Yunie's eyelids trembled slightly for a few times, and then she slowly opened her eyes, with a trace of confusion and ignorance in her eyes.
The screen recognized Qin Yunie's face and automatically unlocked. Qu Qingzhu's eyes inadvertently swept across the unsent message on the message page: [I don't know when you will arrive. I'm so sleepy. I want to wait for you...]
At that moment, Qu Qingzhu's heart felt like it was being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, a mixture of tenderness and emotion. He knew she must be forcing herself to resist sleepiness, sitting at the head of the bed, anxiously waiting for his return, unwilling to fall asleep even though she was exhausted.
"Qu Qingzhu..." Qin Yunie's voice was soft and filled with sleepiness. She tried to open her eyelids, but there was still a layer of hazy mist in her eyes. She still looked drowsy and shaky, as if she would fall asleep again in the next second.
"I'm back, baby, go to sleep good." Qu Qingzhu whispered softly. The voice was mellow and gentle, like the softest breeze in spring, gently brushing past her ears.
He slowly stretched out his hand, and gently stroked the ends of her hair with his slender and warm fingers, his movements as gentle as if he was treating the most precious treasure in the world. Then he carefully let her body lie down slowly, and carefully tucked the corners of her quilt to ensure that she would not catch a cold.
The familiar and warm voice lingered in Qin Yunie's ears, like a soothing lullaby, instantly relaxing her tense nerves.
This time, she was finally able to fall asleep peacefully without any worries. Her breathing became even and smooth, and there was a look of tranquility and satisfaction on her face.
Qu Qingzhu stood quietly beside the bed, his figure tall and straight. He leaned forward slightly, his movements gentle and reverent. He placed a kiss on Qin Yunie's smooth forehead, a kiss as soft as a feather, carrying with it his innumerable affection and attachment to her.

The clock ticked towards noon, and sunlight filtered through the cracks in the window, slowly waking them up. After preparing some simple food and taking a few bites to fill their stomachs, they focused their attention on getting ready for their afternoon outing.
Yes, on this beautiful afternoon, they decided to go out on a date to enjoy the sweet time that belongs only to each other.
Qin Yunie walked briskly to the wardrobe, gently pushed open the smooth door, stood there quietly, with a hint of hesitation in her eyes.
In the closet, two coats of the same style and color hang neatly together, like a loving couple cuddling together. The women's coat is tailored for a more fitted silhouette, its flowing lines showcasing a woman's softness. The delicate lace trims at the collar and cuffs, along with the delicate embroidery on the hem, all feature ingenious details that perfectly accentuate a woman's elegance and femininity. The men's coat, on the other hand, is simple and elegant, its wide silhouette highlighting the man's upright figure. While lacking intricate ornamentation, every detail of the stitching exudes refinement and quality. Even a casual glance would instantly reveal these are a carefully coordinated couple's outfits.
The memory slowly emerged in Qin Yunie's mind. At that time, she was filming in another place. In the gap between her busy schedule, she rarely took a break to go shopping. When she passed by a small shop full of romantic atmosphere and specializing in couples' clothing, the beige coat in the window instantly caught her eye.
At that moment, an irresistible impulse surged in her heart. She bought the clothes without hesitation and took great pains to bring it home, looking forward to the day when she could wear it with Qu Qingzhu and stroll hand in hand through the streets.
