Being responsive was an essential skill for Chen Cheng as he navigated through life.
Especially for Xiao Meier, he had no reason and no need to shun.
After a short separation better than a new marriage, she lay lazily in Chen Cheng's arms, smelling that familiar scent, her fingers drawing circles on his chest.
"Husband, have you missed me in this almost a week we haven't seen each other?"
"Of course, I missed you every day."
Chen Cheng kissed her forehead and gently asked, "How about you?"
"I missed you, too." She looked around the spacious room, "It feels so empty every day without you."
"It's okay during the day, I can spend time at the store, but when I come back home at night, there's no one to talk to."
Chen Cheng held her a little tighter, "You've had it tough. I'll keep you company in the future."
"I know you're bustling about for our future too," Xiao Meier said slowly, "but I just can't help but think of you."
