Forced to live apart, Tang Mubai was truly helpless.
But what could he do? To prevent her from worrying, this was the only way for now.
Suddenly being apart, neither of them slept well. Tang Nian was slightly better; after tossing and turning for a while, she eventually fell asleep from exhaustion.
But for Tang Mubai, sleeping didn't come so easily. Leaning against the headboard, he watched TV while smoking, his face full of gloom and melancholy.
The next day, when Tang Nian woke up, she saw Tang Mubai sitting by the bed watching her. She was startled for a moment, then rubbed her eyes and asked, "Why are you back again?"
"It's daylight, how did you sleep last night?"
"Hmm." Tang Nian, still drowsy, moved to lie on his lap, then looked up at him, "Why do you look like you didn't sleep well?"
"What do you think?"
