Chapter 6

She seemed to suddenly awaken and apologized to him: "I'm sorry... I don't know what happened either"

What does that mean? His hand has been trembling slightly, as if he is trying very hard to restrain something

He came over to hug her, and she wrapped his arm around her waist, her face flushed to the roots of her neck, even her ears felt hot

She pushed him away and said, "I am going to take a shower"

What is this? She approached curiously

Ah?" he asked loudly, unable to hear clearly, "Turn off the range hood, "What?"

*

She raised an eyebrow: "You said it, a man unmarried and a woman unmarried. Let's just consider it a fleeting romance, shall we?"

Her heart sank downwards

She knew that her questioning and complaints would pierce him like a knife, and she did not wish for it to be that way; all she wanted was for him to smile more, just like he did in the afternoon. In his eyes lay the pain and weariness that she was reluctant to touch.

She watched him busily working in the kitchen, the range hood rumbling loudly, as a plate of vibrant green stir-fried snow peas was taken out of the pan

She said angrily, "Don't play dumb"

Yes, it is almost seven o'clock

The air is permeated with a burnt smell

Tomorrow? She saw him standing there in a daze, until the oil pot suddenly boiled over with a loud roar, sizzling and popping, which startled her greatly, "Jian, hurry up!"

There is nothing she can do, she sighed inwardly. ... The marriage is something she wants to leave, the child is something she got rid of, yet he still cares for her without holding a grudge, she owes him so much ...

He sat on the bed, holding a laptop, with several DV cameras scattered around him, fiddling with a memory card

His expression can no longer be described as merely surprised; it is simply one of shock. She secretly felt pleased, as this man, who had maintained an extremely calm demeanor from morning till night, finally, finally revealed a hint of different emotions.

Dinner was eaten in a gloomy mood. Looking up and around, I noticed a DV on the cabinet, directly facing the dining room

The hot water glides over the skin, the temperature just right, warming and comforting every pore. Amidst the rising steam, countless thoughts drift through her mind

Her voice was timid: "So... shall we go to arrange the remarriage first thing tomorrow morning?"

He looked up at her and smiled: "A book, a gift, a gift for every day"

She shouted at him: "Ji An, you are so impressive!"

They are together, this man seems to belong to her, yet does not belong to her, belongs to her past self, does not belong to her present self, after all, her memory is a blank slate

"Is the Civil Affairs Bureau closed for the day?" she suddenly asked

No, I... he again displayed that dazed expression

... ... ? ''

What if, what if there truly is an irresistible force that destined them to part ways, what should be done

He took her away from the cutting board, saying, "Be careful of the knife."

She is enamored with the warmth of the human world, having previously felt like a wandering spirit, unsure of where she drifted.

She needs to calm down

She walked over and snapped the laptop shut, and he looked over with some confusion. Her face was a bit flushed from the steam: "Jian, shall we go to sleep?"

Jing Shi, you ... ...

She quickly finished her meal and placed the bowl on the table: "Ji An, do you not want to remarry me?"

She wanted to ask him, but was also angry with him and did not want to speak to him

Suddenly, a surge of lofty emotions arose, only to plummet again in an instant. The shower sprayed hot water in a cascade, winding down her dark hair and neck.

It is quite strange, isn't it? In just one day, it seems we have only known each other for a day, and I have already become attached to you... Perhaps there have indeed been some other matters that you find inconvenient to share with me, perhaps out of fear of provoking me. I should not still be here causing trouble with the books.

She pushed open the bathroom door, wrapped her bathrobe tightly around herself, and stepped out shivering. The room was warm; he had actually turned on the air conditioning, blowing warm air while the doors and windows were tightly shut

He kept adding dishes for her: "Jing Shi, you must have seen how you look now, you cannot be picky with food"

Stir-fried mushrooms, fragrant and aromatic. He diligently wielded the spatula, holding her sleeve with one hand to prevent her from running off.

He immediately put down his bowl and came over to embrace her: "No, this is not the time. I, Chen Ji'an, will only have you as my wife... It's just that tomorrow, you may not be willing to remarry me..."

He apologized to her, hurriedly tidied up the mess, and smiled at her: "Jing Shi, it's smoky from the cooking, let's go outside and wait."

"It's nothing," she said as she walked in, "I am here to help you"
