"Mm." Shen Muzhi nodded in response.
Although he agreed, he didn't move his feet, his dark eyes fixed on Xiang Zhilan's face.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Even someone as poised and confident as Xiang Zhilan felt a little embarrassed by his stare.
"Nothing, I just wanted to look at her a little longer." Shen Muzhi continued to gaze at her face with greedy longing. She was even more beautiful than she had been two years ago, her whole being radiating a pearly glow.
Xiang Zhilan turned her head away, feeling a little uncomfortable: "I need to rest, you should go back now."
"Hmm," Shen Muzhi responded, but still didn't move.
Xiang Zhilan was a little annoyed and bit her lip: "If you don't go back, don't even think about coming in tomorrow."
"Oh." Shen Muzhi liked her current expression and stared at it intently.
Xiang Zhilan felt even more uncomfortable, ignored him, and went to walk away on her own.
As she walked past him to leave, he suddenly hugged her from behind. She frowned and tried to break free.
"Don't move." Shen Muzhi buried his head in her shoulder and neck, deeply inhaling her scent, and said in a hoarse, low voice, "I've missed you so much all these years."
"I never thought about you," Xiang Zhilan said cruelly, reflecting reality.
"I know you're better off without me." Shen Muzhi was used to being hurt by her and could now calmly accept this treatment.
"You know that's good." Xiang Zhilan struggled slightly, then calmly said, "Let me go."
"I don't want to." Shen Muzhi refused, saying softly, "These past few days have felt like a dream. I can't tell if this is reality or a dream."
"If you want to dream, go back to sleep." Xiang Zhilan didn't want to hear his sentiments about separation or reunion because she couldn't empathize with him.
Shen Muzhi ignored her impatience and continued, "You once promised me something, and you still owe me that."
Xiang Zhilan frowned in confusion. When did she owe him anything?
"You said you'd have a three-hundred-round battle with me after you gave birth, and you've been over two years late." Shen Muzhi's usually cold voice actually carried a hint of grievance at being let down.
Xiang Zhilan froze for a moment. Those were the words she said when they were being playful in bed during a time when their relationship was harmonious. He actually took such bedroom banter seriously.
"Shen Muzhi, don't push your luck." She wondered if she had been too gentle with him today, which had given him renewed hope, and he even dared to say something like demanding repayment.
"You're the one who broke your promise, and now you're trying to renege on it, and you're doing it so loudly." Shen Muzhi had taught Hengheng how to act cute today, and suddenly felt that this might be a useful method.
Xiang Zhilan didn't understand why he suddenly changed his style. The person who used to be so gloomy, cold and domineering was now speaking in such a wronged voice, which made her very uncomfortable.
"Don't be crazy, it's so late at night." She forcefully broke free, frowning seriously. "Get out of here. I have no intention of catching up with my ex-husband. Get out, get out."
"Didn't you already buy cantaloupe flavored ones? Don't waste them." Shen Muzhi was now shamelessly trying to get back at them, hoping to rekindle their past intimacy with these brazen words.
Xiang Zhilan was both amused and exasperated; it seemed he also thought the cantaloupe flavor referred to condoms.
"Oh, I didn't waste a single moment. I've already been with Luo Che for a while..." Xiang Zhilan deliberately stopped mid-sentence and gestured with her hand to make a three.
