Hearing Sun Xingyan's conclusion, Xia Baozhu looked at him suspiciously in the darkness.
"How did you bite your tongue?"
Sun Xingyan, enduring the pain in his chin, approached Xia Baozhu and said, "That's how you got bitten."
As he spoke, he kissed him.
A muffled groan came from the darkness as Xia Baozhu accidentally bumped Sun Xingyan's chin again.
His reason, scorched by the intense heat, made him forget the pain and immerse himself in the raging fire.
When Xia Baozhu woke up in the morning, she heard cheerful laughter coming from the living room, which was quite lively.
She glanced at the alarm clock on her desk; it was already 8:30.
It was a little awkward.
Xia Baozhu turned to look at Sun Xingyan beside her and saw the two bruises on his face, so she couldn't help but cover her eyes.
Just as she expected.
Sun Xingyan didn't tell the truth last night. I wonder what he thinks when he sees him like this, and whether he regrets it?
"Sleep a little longer, wife," Sun Xingyan said sleepily, barely opening his eyes a crack.
"It's already 8:30, and we still have to go out to pay New Year's visits." Xia Baozhu got up to put on her clothes.
Sun Xingyan can't go out like this, but she still has to go.
"It's okay to go later, I'll go with you."
Sun Xingyan closed his eyes, hugged Xia Baozhu, buried his head in her shoulder, and didn't want her to get up.
"I'm afraid you can't go out today," Xia Baozhu said with a smile, feeling the strong heartbeat coming from Sun Xingyan's chest.
"Why?" Sun Xingyan slowly regained his senses.
He thought of his chin, touched it with his hand, and gasped – it hurt terribly.
"You can't tell when you're wearing a scarf."
“But you still have some here.” Xia Baozhu gently touched Sun Xingyan’s cheekbone.
Sun Xingyan was fully awake. He got up, walked barefoot onto the floor, took out a mirror from his desk, and fell silent as he looked at the bruises on his face.
Xia Baozhu felt a tightness in her chest. Once or twice was fine, but if it happened every day, no one could stand it.
Unintentional domestic violence is still domestic violence.
She remembered a novel where a vicious female cannon fodder character went to great lengths to marry a giant orc, only to have the orc accidentally crush her to death when he rolled over.
"Honey, what do you think about me using your makeup to cover it up?"
Sun Xingyan thought of a way to go out, put down the mirror and sat back on the bed.
"Cosmetics are bad for your skin and can clog your pores. You should stay home," Xia Baozhu said, perking up.
"It's not like I use it every day. It's fine if I use it once or twice occasionally," Sun Xingyan said nonchalantly, touching his face.
"What if it were available every day?" Xia Baozhu couldn't help but ask.
"Impossible, honey. You sleep very soundly. If I don't touch you, you won't move at all." It all boils down to him being dishonest.
"Bluishes can be covered up, but swelling is not so easy to conceal."
"Wife, do you think I look ugly?"
"Hmm, it's not very pretty." Xia Baozhu nodded.
"Impossible, I looked pretty handsome in the mirror just now."
"Okay, enough joking around, hurry up and get dressed and go out."
Xia Baozhu heard another group of people arrive outside, and several familiar voices—those of Sun Xingyan's friends.
Luckily, their room didn't face the living room directly, otherwise it would have been even more awkward when they went out.
"Wife, let me start with a good morning greeting."
Five minutes after exchanging good morning greetings, Xia Baozhu was impressed by Sun Xingyan's slow and deliberate pace.
Sun Xingyan's injuries were clearly seen by his mother.
What happened to your face?
"I went out last night and ran into some drunks. We argued for a bit and then started fighting." Sun Xingyan lied so naturally and smoothly, as if it were nothing to him.
"Haven't you learned your lesson yet? Stay far away from those people and don't go near them!" Sun's mother angrily tapped Sun Xingyan's forehead, wishing she could give him a beating.
When Xia Baozhu came out after washing up and saw this scene, she sighed inwardly.
"Baozhu, there is breakfast on the table. Why don't you and Xingyan go out and have some fun after you finish eating?"
Clearly, Sun's mother didn't want her son to embarrass himself by staying at home.
"Okay, Mom."
Xia Baozhu used foundation to cover up the bruises on Sun Xingyan's cheekbones.
"It looks good. Let's go, wife." Sun Xingyan didn't care about such a small matter at all.
Compared to the further development in their relationship last night, this beating was totally worth it.
Besides, it wasn't his wife who did it on purpose.
The two visited some acquaintances and friends, and then went to the ice rink.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the ice rink was crowded. Xia Baozhu was quite good at skating, which made Sun Xingyan, who wanted to teach her how to skate, somewhat disappointed.
But it was still a great feeling to hold hands with my wife and go ice skating together.
Chi Zhengshan looked at Xia Baozhu, who was standing on the periphery of the skating rink, her eyes following her smiling face, and felt a mix of bitterness and sorrow in his heart.
A one-sided love affair that ended without a trace is like a snowflake falling into water, leaving no mark whatsoever.
That evening, Xia Baozhu was going home, and Sun Xingyan did not try to persuade her to stay.
Xia Baozhu looked at Sun Xingyan pushing his bicycle into the yard, and wanted to speak but then closed her mouth.
"Baozhu, let's go to Feixian County tomorrow. A friend told me there's a big temple fair there until the Lantern Festival, it's supposed to be a lot of fun. How about we go for two days?"
"And the temple there is very efficacious, let's go and pray."
"What should we worship?" Xia Baozhu didn't expect Sun Xingyan to believe in this.
"May we be together forever," Sun Xingyan said, sitting at the table, propping his chin up with his hand, in a matter-of-fact tone.
Xia Baozhu boiled water in the electric kettle, and upon hearing Sun Xingyan's words, the morning gloom gradually dissipated.
She believes she can take things in stride and let them go, but she often feels anxious and uncertain about her future romantic relationships.
This is related to her experiences and life experiences. People are very changeable. Even if two people are deeply in love right now, they may get tired of each other before long.
In matters of the heart, she was not as bold and decisive as Sun Xingyan in matters of love.
She should be emotionally strong, not a coward who is constantly worried about the future.
Even if things don't work out between two people, they can just get a divorce; there's no need to make yourself suffer.
Having figured this out, Xia Baozhu felt much more at ease.
Sun Xingyan was very well-behaved tonight; he and Xia Baozhu continued to refine their factory plans on paper.
His handwriting is bold and beautiful, with its own unique characteristics. Xia Baozhu likes his handwriting very much and finds it pleasing to the eye to watch him write.
"Wife, aren't you too tired from doing so much?" Sun Xingyan suddenly asked.
"Fortunately, I don't have to manage the store much now. I also bought a shop in Mingcheng and plan to have Chen Wenbin go there to try and open a few more stores in the province."
"Yes, honey, let others do these repetitive tasks. You just need to manage the people."
Sun Xingyan added, "Let's go out and have some fun for the next couple of days, and then we'll come back and check on the situation at these factories."
Both of them have plans for the future, and they believe that working together towards a goal is the best way to deepen their relationship.
