Chapter 552: Marriage is the Grave of Love
Lu Ye: [You're just being impulsive and angry. As long as you two like each other, that's all.]
Qiao Yunxue: [But the thought of arguing about these things in the future makes me tired. I just want to be with him and don't want to get involved in his family relationships.]
Lu Ye: [This kind of thing is inevitable after marriage, and ordinary couples also need to face these problems.]
Qiao Yunxue: [So maybe I'm not suitable for marriage at all.]
Lu Ye: [You're pregnant now, and hormones are kicking in, so it's easy to have wild thoughts. Relax. If you have any thoughts, just communicate them directly with him. Don't hold them in.]
Qiao Yunxue: [I wish I wasn't pregnant.]
Lu Ye: [What nonsense! The birth of a child is fate.]
Qiao Yunxue looked at the message sent by Lu Ye, lowered her head, and touched her belly with her other hand.
For a moment, she even thought about aborting the child. She was very confused about the future of this marriage and found it hard to imagine what it would be like to have another child.
But this thought only lasted less than a minute before she suppressed it - she couldn't bear to do it at all. First, because she liked children, and second, because this was her and Fu Shanzhan's child.
What Lu Ye said made sense. Maybe it was the progesterone that was causing her unstable emotions.
Qiao Yunxue decided to stop thinking about it for the time being and focus all her attention on exams and studies. When she has her own career and capital, she will become more confident and determined.
So, in the next few months, Qiao Yunxue reviewed more attentively and worked harder, and accordingly, she had less and less time to communicate with Fu Shanzhan. After the quarrel, they did not apologize to each other or review the matter as they did in the past, but just let it go without any pain. Although it seemed that they had not quarreled again, some estrangement had been unknowingly planted.
At the end of December, Qiao Yunxue went to take the postgraduate written examination despite being five months pregnant. After the three-day postgraduate written examination, Qiao Yunxue breathed a sigh of relief.
During the three days of the exam, Fu Shanzhan personally picked her up and dropped her off.
It was four o'clock in the afternoon after the last exam. When Qiao Yunxue walked out of the exam room, Fu Shanzhan came up to her. He opened his arms and hugged her, saying "thank you for your hard work." Then he asked her, "What do you want to eat? Let's make an exception tonight. We haven't eaten out together in a long time."
Qiao Yunxue shook her head and said, "Let's go back and eat. I don't have much appetite."
Fu Shanzhan pursed his lips. Her rejection was undoubtedly like pouring cold water on him. In recent months, Qiao Yunxue's attitude towards him had always been lukewarm. She didn't ignore him, nor did she quarrel with him like before, but they were becoming less and less like a couple.
Life was uneventful, like a stagnant pool of water. Fu Shanzhan could only comfort herself that she was like this because of the pressure from the exam. But now that the written exam was over, she was still the same. Fu Shanzhan had brainwashed herself with this reason again.
The two got into the car in silence. After Qiao Yunxue lowered her head and fastened her seat belt, Fu Shanzhan was reluctant to drive.
Qiao Yunxue waited for a few minutes, became impatient, and looked at him sideways.
Before she could speak, Fu Shanzhan suddenly approached, pressed the back of her head and kissed her.
Qiao Yunxue's first reaction was to struggle, pushing his shoulders with both hands and frowning.
Her rejection fueled Fu Shanzhan's anger. He kissed her even harder and even bit her lower lip to vent his anger.
Qiao Yunxue cried out in pain and pinched his upper arm hard.
Taking advantage of Fu Shanzhan's relaxed moment, she immediately pushed him away.
Qiao Yunxue raised her hand to wipe her lips, breathing unsteadily: "What's wrong with you all of a sudden?"
"Sudden?" Fu Shanzhan twitched his lips in self-mockery. "Do you think this is sudden?"
Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Qiao Yunxue pinched her palms and forced herself to hold back, "I don't want to quarrel with you."
Fu Shanzhan: "It's not that you don't want to argue with me, it's that you don't care about me at all."
When he said this, he suddenly started crying, "You don't love me anymore, do you?"
When Qiao Yunxue saw his tears falling, her nails dug deeper and deeper into his palms. How could she not love him? But the two of them quarreling all the time was really tiring. If she took up the conversation now, they would definitely quarrel again.
"Let's drive first and talk about it when we get back." Qiao Yunxue was silent for a while and abruptly changed the subject.
Fu Shanzhan stared at her for two or three minutes, then finally sniffed, turned around, and stepped on the accelerator.
On the way home from the examination room, neither of them spoke. The air pressure in the car was extremely low, and it was difficult to breathe.
Qiao Yunxue turned her head and looked out the window. It was a very cloudy day today and the weather forecast said it might snow tonight.
She remembered her first meeting with Fu Shanzhan, which was at the end of her freshman year.
It was also a snowy winter.
She was born in the south and has an obsession with snow. When it snowed heavily that time, she and several classmates excitedly went out, walked excitedly on the snow on the side of the road, and made snowmen on the roadside.
In my excitement, I accidentally bumped into Fu Shanzhan who was returning to school.
Her face and nose were so cold that they turned red. She didn't wear gloves, so her hands were also red. When she apologized, she put her hands together. Fu Shanzhan happened to see her hands, shook his head and said it was okay, then reminded her to remember to wear gloves.
Qiao Yunxue didn't expect to hear the word "relationship" coming from a stranger, and was stunned. When she came to her senses, Fu Shanzhan had already started helping her build a snowman.
Then they had hot pot together that night and exchanged contact information.
After that, Fu Shanzhan often found various reasons to ask her out. Not long after, he confessed his love to her, and then the two of them naturally got together and began to fall in love.
It has only been more than three years, but when I recall the scene now, it seems a little strange.
They have all changed.
It seems that the change started after marriage. The pure feelings between the two of them were gradually mixed with various complicated interpersonal relationships, and it seemed that the feelings were not as strong as before.
Qiao Yunxue once thought that she could not live without love, but Fu Shanzhan's words just now, "Don't you love me anymore?", suddenly made her wake up.
There has been no romance in the past few months, and life doesn't seem as painful as I imagined. It's even easier than before. There's no need for hysterical quarrels. Her emotions are very stable, and her review efficiency has improved.
Thinking of this, Qiao Yunxue felt a little uncomfortable in her chest.
She had heard the phrase "marriage is the grave of love" countless times. When she married Fu Shanzhan, she vowed that their marriage would be like this.
But now——
Perhaps this is the ending that no one can escape.
The car stopped at the door of the villa. Qiao Yunxue unbuckled her seat belt and got out of the car, followed closely by Fu Shanzhan.
The two entered the living room and stopped in front of the shoe cabinet. Fu Shanzhan put down his cell phone and car keys, and habitually squatted in front of Qiao Yunxue to change her shoes.
At this moment, the phone on the shoe cabinet rang.
Qiao Yunxue looked over in the direction of the sound, and on the lit screen, three words were clearly displayed - Lin Muyue.
