Xu Wan buried her face almost in her rice bowl, not daring to say a word.
Lingya realized she had talked too much, so she picked up a piece of pork rib and lowered her head to eat.
Dinner is over.
As the car approached their house, Jiang Tingzhou glanced at the pharmacy by the roadside, then looked at Xu Wan and asked, "Wife, do you think I need to take medicine?"
Xu Wan ate a lot for dinner and was a little sleepy on the way back by car, but was startled awake by a sentence from the man.
She shook her head vigorously, "No, no, absolutely not."
Jiang Tingzhou clearly has too much energy!
The man then restarted the car.
Back home, as soon as they reached the entrance, Jiang Tingzhou pulled Xu Wan into a small space and gently kissed her lips. "I just realized that we'll be gone for about ten days. In the six months since we got married, it seems like we haven't been apart for this long."
Jiang Tingzhou used to travel frequently for work, but it was usually for three or four days, never more than a week.
Xu Wan raised her hand and wrapped it around the man's neck. "If you miss me, you can call me or video chat with me."
"good."
Jiang Tingzhou responded in a hoarse voice, then lowered his head and kissed the woman's lips again.
Perhaps because he was leaving tomorrow, his kiss was very light and slow, like a reluctant farewell.
Behind Xu Wan was a half-height entryway cabinet. She leaned against it, her hand resting on it, and the man's hand was on top of hers, their fingers intertwined.
Soon, a simple kiss was no longer enough for the two of them.
Winter clothes are particularly complicated.
Jiang Tingzhou placed his fingers on the shirt buttons, trying to unbutton them. He tried for a long time, but the small buttons seemed to be playing tricks on him and refused to come out of the buttonholes.
The man's patience reached its limit for the first time, and he simply picked the woman up.
Before even reaching the bedroom, Xu Wan said, "I'm a little thirsty..."
The man turned and went to the kitchen.
He placed the woman on the large island counter, turned around to get her some water, and after she finished drinking, he had no intention of leaving. He turned her over and pressed her down on the cold island counter, flipped her shirt up from the bottom, and kissed her little by little along her spine from the bottom up.
Xu Wan didn't turn around, but the man could see her burning red earlobes. He leaned down, his teeth gently rubbing against the edge of her ear, and whispered, "I'll finish things as soon as possible and come back to spend New Year's Eve with you."
"good……"
Xu Wan's voice trembled slightly as she spoke.
The man slowly untied her long hair, which was bound by a hair tie, and put it on her wrist.
The hair tie remained in place until the two of them went to bed.
Xu Wan looked at the incongruous hair tie on the man's wrist and laughed, "You like wearing it so much? Then return it to me when you come back."
She said it casually, but the man seriously agreed: "Okay, I'll return it to you when I get back."
Xu Wangan quickly said, "I was just kidding, it looks really strange for you to be wearing this."
Jiang Tingzhou looked at the hair tie on his wrist. "I heard that when students are dating, boys wear one of these on their wrists to show that they have a girlfriend. So I'm wearing one this time too. If someone shows interest in me, I'll show it to her."
Xu Wan poked the man's forehead: "Are you stupid? People wear this when they're dating because they don't have a wedding ring yet. If you're wearing a wedding ring, you don't need this."
“Then I’d like to wear it too.”
The man's serious tone made him seem somewhat naive.
Xu Wan didn't argue with him. "Keep it on. Return it to me when you come back."
-
The following morning, while Xu Wan was still at work, she received a message from Jiang Tingzhou.
Inform her that her plane has already taken off.
Private jets have hotspots, which can be used to send and receive messages.
Because of work, Xu Wan was slow to reply to messages. By the time the man said his plane had landed, they had only exchanged no more than ten messages.
In the following days, the two barely contacted each other.
It wasn't until the evening of the 24th (China time) that Xu Wan accepted Xu Pingshan's invitation to spend Christmas with them. She had just entered the house with gifts when she received a message from Jiang Tingzhou.
Jiang Tingzhou: [I've already boarded the ship. The cruise ship might lose signal soon, so I might not be able to contact you until tomorrow.]
Xu Wan originally wanted to advise the man not to be too impulsive for a diamond.
After editing the message, I still cancelled it.
Instead, say: 【Merry Christmas.】
The man replied quickly: "Merry Christmas! I'll be back to ring in the New Year with you."
