Although Xu Zhixia didn't show it, Uncle Wu still noticed that something was wrong with her.
Every day, intentionally or unintentionally, he would talk about Zhou An's childhood.
Xu Zhixia was very interested in this and listened with great interest.
From Uncle Wu's words, she saw a different Zhou An.
The little child curled up into a ball, waiting expectantly for his parents to come back.
But when he fell asleep, no one came.
A trace of heartache flashed in Xu Zhixia's eyes, and she couldn't help but recall the first time she met Zhou An.
He was a head shorter than her and his expression showed no emotion.
She was a little scared at the time and gave Xiao Zhou An a sweet smile.
Xiao Zhouan was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes seemed to light up...
That night, Xu Zhixia dreamed of their childhood. Zhou An said numbly, "My parents don't like me. I've always been alone."
Little Xu Zhixia promised seriously: "Then let me accompany you."
The two became good friends who could talk about anything, until they grew up, until... Gu Yan appeared.
When Xu Zhixia opened her eyes, it was already dawn.
She felt as if there was a breath stuck in her chest, unable to spit it out or swallow it down.
Why did she become obsessed and distance herself from Zhou An for Gu Yan?
She thought about it for a long time but couldn't come up with an answer.
After going downstairs, Xu Zhixia saw Xu's mother busy at work.
A hint of doubt flashed in her eyes. Ever since she knew that she preferred Uncle Wu's cooking, Xu's mother hadn't cooked for a long time.
Hearing the footsteps, Xu's mother turned around and smiled faintly.
Greeted: "Xia Xia, are you up? Come and have dinner."
Xu Zhixia walked over obediently and sat down with a hint of surprise in her eyes.
Because there was a bowl of noodles in front of her. You know, she rarely ate staple food early in the morning since she became pregnant.
Meeting Xu Zhixia's puzzled gaze, Xu's mother showed a helpless look on her face.
While taking an egg, he said, "You kid, did you forget that today is your birthday?"
Xu Zhixia blinked and suddenly realized that she had actually forgotten.
He said with a mixture of laughter and tears: "Mom, even if it's my birthday, I can't eat such a big bowl."
Xu's mother insisted, "If you can't finish it, save it for your father. How can you celebrate your birthday without longevity noodles?"
Xu Zhixia had no choice but to accept Xu's mother's kindness, but after eating half of it, she couldn't eat any more.
Xu's mother did not force it. She took out an exquisite little box and handed it to Xu Zhixia.
"See if you like it?"
She spoke with a glint of anticipation in her eyes.
Although Xu's mother doesn't earn much money as a literacy teacher, she does receive subsidies.
She saved all the money to give her daughter a birthday present.
Xu Zhixia felt touched and opened the box in front of her.
A pair of small pearl earrings appeared in her eyes. They were not expensive, but they were exquisite.
She put it on without hesitation, smiling like a flower, and asked, "Mom, does it look good?"
Xu's mother's eyes were red and she said "good" several times in a row.
While Xu Zhixia wasn't paying attention, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Xu's father prepared an exquisite Dacron skirt for Xu Zhixia, which Xu Zhixia liked very much.
Uncle Wu didn't bring any gifts, but he cooked a table full of delicious food.
Even Haohao carefully prepared a gift for her.
Xu Zhixia knew that one should not be too greedy, but at this time she missed someone especially.
That heartless guy disappeared without a trace as soon as he left.
She cursed in her heart, but couldn't control her longing.
I lay in bed at night and couldn't fall asleep for a long time.
Just when she was feeling drowsy, the door was gently pushed open.
She suddenly opened her eyes and looked towards the door vigilantly.
In the dim moonlight, she could see a familiar figure.
Xu Zhixia was stunned and subconsciously covered her mouth.
Her body was trembling slightly in disbelief.
The next second, she was embraced in a warm embrace.
"Wife, I miss you so much."
A familiar voice sounded, with a hint of hoarseness.
Tears welled up in the corners of Xu Zhixia's eyes and flowed down her face uncontrollably.
"You still remember to come back?"
She couldn't help but complain and wanted to hit Zhou An a few times, but in the end she couldn't bear to do it.
Because of the smell on Zhou An, I could tell that he had just returned.
Even if he cheered up, he couldn't hide his fatigue.
"Let me hold you for a while... just a moment..."
He murmured, his tone full of nostalgia.
Xu Zhixia didn't move and hugged him back.
The air is filled with a harmonious atmosphere and indescribable warmth.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhou An let out a long sigh and stood up.
"Wife, I have prepared a gift for you."
He said this a little nervously, as if he was afraid that Xu Zhixia wouldn't like it.
Xu Zhixia raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a faint smile.
In fact, Zhou An’s return is the best gift for her.
Although she thought so in her heart, she did not show it on the surface.
Instead, she said coquettishly: "Then I have to see it. I have to like it."
Zhou An's heart sank to the bottom. He took a deep breath and took out a small box the size of a palm from his arms.
Xu Zhixia took it curiously and opened the small box.
When he saw what was inside, his pupils suddenly contracted.
It's a... shrunken snow globe.
I don’t know what it is made of, but there is a snowman inside the small glass ball.
Shake it and snow will fall.
There was a flash of surprise in Xu Zhixia's eyes. For some reason, she suddenly thought of the last argument she had with Zhou An.
Perhaps seeing what she was thinking, Zhou An said softly, "I was wrong to be mean to you last time."
"I asked my comrades to buy this for me. I hope you like it."
The hoarse voice was a little hesitant, but Xu Zhixia could clearly feel his love.
Xu Zhixia couldn't describe her feelings in words. She felt as if she was soaking in warm water, and her whole body was warm.
Her brows softened and she gently stroked the snowball in front of her.
Slowly speaking: "I like it very much."
She raised her eyes and met Zhou An's: "I like you too."
Zhou An's breathing stagnated, and he couldn't help but lean over and kiss Xu Zhixia on the lips.
The air around them became ambiguous, and the two people's breaths intertwined.
The kiss ended, and they pulled away slightly, their breathing becoming rapid.
Zhou An's big, bony hands fell on Xu Zhixia's face, caressing it gently.
"Xia Xia, have a sweet dream..."
Because Xu Zhixia was pregnant, Zhou An did nothing.
The two of them lay down on the bed and soon fell asleep.
This was the first time Xu Zhixia slept so soundly since Zhou An left.
But when she opened her eyes the next day, there was no one around her.
Everything that happened last night seemed like just a dream to her.
