Ye Zheng is too good, almost perfect.
Yuan Yung feels his early passing is like a soft but relentless pain in her heart. Usually, she might not notice it, but occasionally it overwhelms her.
Just now, Huo Junting’s words seed to drain all the strength from her body, leaving her unable to move or want to do anything.
So she didn’t even shower, just lay on the bed and pulled the blanket over, drifting between half-awake and asleep through the night.
Little did she know, soone was really standing outside, smoking one cigarette after another desperately.
There was an inexplicable sorrow.
...
Early in the morning, Yuan Yung was awakened by the rumbling in her stomach. She was always a little hazy in the morning, sitting up unaware of the situation.
She had to sit on the bed for a while before her mind ca back to her. As soon as she rembered, she imdiately jumped out of bed and opened the door—
A man was standing there. He looked like he hadn’t slept all night, appearing a bit worn, and there was a pile of ash and cigarette butts at his feet.
Damn it! This man actually stood outside all night.
Yuan Yung thought at that mont, is he stupid?
When he looked at her, the first question he asked was, "Are you hungry? I’ll go get you breakfast."
She noticed his legs seed to have stiffened from standing too long... a bit crooked...
At that mont, a wave of overwhelming emotion hit her. She rushed over and tightly hugged him, greedily absorbing the warmth from his body, "I’m sorry about last night. I didn’t consider your feelings. From now on... I won’t do it again. But asking to forget him completely isn’t possible; can he stay in a corner of my heart?"
Huo Junting paused for a few seconds, replaying her words in his mind. He felt he could accept it; loving her ans loving all of her, and Ye Zheng was part of her life, so he couldn’t refuse, "Alright, let go of ."
"I sll like smoke."
Yuan Yung loosened her embrace slightly, leaned in close to him, sniffing like a little dog, "Strange, I used to hate the sll of smoke! Why do I find the smoke on you slls nice?"
She didn’t notice the certain gleam in the man’s eyes—
The next second, she answered herself, "It must be that I love everything about you, right, right!"
"Silly girl." Huo Junting touched her nose, feeling warm inside and out, unable to resist holding her tightly again, wanting to embed her deeply into the seams of his bones, "Once we find Huohuo, I’ll take you around the world, okay?"
"Sure!"
"For now, let’s go eat sothing," he really feared she’d be hungry, given how much she can eat.
Yuan Yung nudged him, pulling him into the room, "Let’s freshen up first. I didn’t shower last night, and I feel all funky now—"
Huo Junting let her pull him along without resistance, as if prepared to let her manipulate him at will.
Yuan Yung indeed beca a "devoted wife," muttering, "We don’t have clothes to change into here, should I go buy so for you?"
"..." Huo Junting thought for a mont, "No need to hassle, let’s just return to the hotel, everything’s there."
"No." Yuan Yung suddenly refused.
"Hmm?" Huo Junting was a bit puzzled, "Why? What are you up to now, girl?"
Yuan Yung gave a cheeky smile, pushing the man into the bathroom, "Listen, you wash up first, and hurry up!"
"But—why? There’s no change of clothes here." Even smart Huo Junting was a bit at a loss.
"I already said I’d go buy them for you!" With that, she reached for his neck, starting to undo his tie.
