"Today while we're walking, we'll go buy new ones."
"OK?"
"Living room, bedroom, balcony," he looked up at the empty house that had long lost its warmth to him, "buy more, put everything you like here."
When she left, she packed up almost all her belongings.
Only some of the bits and pieces she had forgotten were collected by him.
With her departure, the house lost its original color.
Became empty and cold.
Just like his heart.
She needs to be filled up again.
"Yeah." Shen Zhiyi leaned into his arms and scanned the furnishings in the room. "Jiang Jinwang, did I forget something?"
"Why do I feel like so many of my things are missing from home?"
"It feels so weird."
Jiang Jinwang's body froze.
"What nonsense?" He took a deep breath. "That's not true."
"It's just that you're recovering from your injuries now, so you need to keep the place clean and tidy. I asked an aunt to do a thorough cleaning, throw away all the old things, and replace them with new ones."
He held her hand and apologized, "Will you blame me for acting on my own?"
Shen Zhiyi raised her eyes to look at him.
Jiang Jinwang paused and added, "If you don't like it, we'll buy all new ones."
"It's all up to you."
"OK?"
Shen Zhiyi still looked at him with a frown.
"You lied to me."
Jiang Jinwang's heart skipped a beat.
"We had some conversation before the accident, didn't we?" Shen Zhiyi emerged from his embrace and stood up. "Jiang Jinwang, tell me the truth."
"Why has everything in the house changed?"
Jiang Jin's heart trembled at the clear light in her eyes.
He became uncontrollably flustered.
Reaching out, he held her tightly in his arms.
His fingertips were trembling, and even his tall body couldn't help but tremble slightly.
"I'm sorry, baby..."
His heart sank to the bottom. "We had a fight before the accident."
"When you were in a cold war with me, you packed up all your things and took them away..." He buried his head in her hair, hugged her tightly, and anxiously absorbed all the scent from her body, afraid that she would slip away again.
"It's all my fault..."
"I didn't know how to speak, and I made you angry."
"If you're still angry with me, hit me." He grabbed her hand and pounded it hard on himself, hitting his head, chest, and abdomen. "Hit me hard..."
"Just, don't leave me again... please..."
Tears rolled down his face.
Shen Zhiyi was startled by the hot tears on his neck and his almost self-harming behavior.
Is he crying?
After being stunned for a moment, Shen Zhiyi quickly withdrew his hand.
"Alright, alright..." She hugged him and patted his back, "I don't blame you, why do you hit yourself like this?"
"Stop crying."
"I forgive you."
"How could Dr. Jiang, who seems to be so capable of handling everything, be crying?"
"If you tell anyone, your colleagues will laugh at you."
Jiang Jinwang's eyes were red, and in her gentleness, he could clearly see his own insignificance and darkness.
He closed his eyes and hugged her tightly.
"It's me, bastard."
"It's all my fault..."
It was the first time Shen Zhiyi saw him like this.
She raised her head and wiped away the tears from his face soothingly.
"That's what I was saying. How come all my things are gone?"
“It’s time to buy a new one.”
"Your aesthetic is so ugly."
Jiang Jinwang grabbed her hand, as if to confirm that she was still alive, and kissed her on the lips.
"As long as you don't leave, I'll do anything."
Shen Zhiyi raised the corners of his lips.
"Then change the sheets in the master bedroom first." She glanced at the open bedroom door, "I don't want to sleep on dusty sheets."
He raised his head and looked at Jiang Jin with a dazed expression.
She frowned, even pouting her red lips, "Is it because you're giving me the cold shoulder that we have to sleep in separate rooms?"
"Nothing." Jiang Jinwang hugged her.
Closing his eyes, hiding the dark vortex in his eyes, he said, "How can I bear to do that?"
