"Auntie, we..."
"Oh right, you guys are eating." Qu Jing was so excited that she was almost incoherent: "You guys eat first, I... I'll come to the company to find you tomorrow."
"Thank you, Jinjin, thank you."
After explaining the reasons briefly, she hung up the phone with tears in her eyes.
The blush on Qu Linyuan's face finally faded. He looked up, stunned for a long while, before saying, "Did she... tell us... to go back?"
"I guess so." Si Jin looked at the naturally autistic Xiao Naiyuan in front of her, and felt a strange unease in her heart, a sour and bitter feeling, and asked, "Why haven't you gone back to the Qi family to see her all these years?"
"She and Uncle Qi... were together since college, dated for eight years, and then... got married."
Qu Linyuan lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes concealing half of the emotions in his eyes: "I... am an outsider, and I don't want to... disturb them."
A six-year-old child realized that he was an outsider to his mother, and moved into an enlarged apartment by himself with only that plush dog.
It seemed like a sad story, but Qu Linyuan's eyes still showed little emotion.
Just as she was about to continue eating, her hand holding the chopsticks paused for a moment, but Si Jin grabbed her hand.
He looked up: "Jinjin?"
"After we finish eating, shall we go to a shop and order a wedding ring based on the design of the little wooden ring you carved?"
"Why...why?" At first, Qu Linyuan was a little worried. He roughly understood what his mother had told Jinjin, but he didn't need pity or sympathy.
If a relationship is maintained based on these two emotions, then his life is truly pathetic.
"Because I like you," Si Jin said. "Because I want to be family with you."
It turns out that Jinjin never thought of him that way.
Deep down, Jinjin loved him.
"Mm!" Qu Linyuan nodded vigorously and then scooped a few more slices of meat for Si Jin: "You eat."
… …
After dinner, while the diamond ring shop was still open, the two went to order a ring.
Holding the certificate for the custom-made wedding ring, Qu Linyuan was so happy that he couldn't sleep all night.
I carefully considered every word and phrase, reading it over and over again, wishing I could engrave these words in my heart and never forget them for the rest of my life.
The air conditioner had been on all night, and Si Jin woke up in the middle of the night because of the heat. She got up, rubbed her eyes, and was about to get out of bed to pour some water when she saw that Qu Linyuan had already brought her a glass of water.
Si Jin took the drink and drank a couple of sips, then casually asked, "Aren't you going to sleep yet?"
Her voice was soft and gentle, with a slightly grainy quality, as if she had just woken up.
A drop of water stubbornly slid down her lips, past her Adam's apple, and landed on her collarbone, which was covered in red marks.
Bathed in the dim light of a nightlight, it was unexpectedly alluring.
Qu Linyuan put down his cup, sat on the edge of the bed, and held Si Jin's hand, saying honestly, "I can't sleep."
After thinking for a moment, he blushed and added, "I want to kiss... my wife."
Si Jin said with dissatisfaction, "I'll give you a chance to change how you address me."
Qu Linyuan gripped his sleeve tightly, her ears turning bright red, and called out, "Husband."
Si Jin closed her eyes, which meant she acquiesced.
Qu Linyuan's heart was deeply moved. He gave her a light, fleeting kiss, but as if addicted, he kissed her several more times without Si Jin's permission.
Finally, he pinned her down on the bed, closed her eyes, and kissed her again and again amidst her erratic breathing.
I like prim and proper.
I really like Jinjin.
I simply can't control myself.
Even eating it several times a day isn't enough.
Feeling the sash of her bathrobe come undone, Si Jin chuckled and took Qu Linyuan's hand, warning, "Your mother said she's coming to see me tomorrow, but I have to go to work."
"Just once." Qu Linyuan's eyes held a hint of resentment as he raised his right index finger and repeated, "Just... just once!"
She then added cunningly, "Is it good... oh... husband?"
