"I'm going back today."
Sun Hongxia glanced at Kong Demin. "Are you really going back?"
"Yes, we're getting off work together today."
Sun Hongxia barely managed a smile at that and went out to work.
Kong Demin sat in his chair, thinking about how this was really too easy on her; his problems were because of her family, and this was just the beginning.
In the evening, the two had dinner together at the cafeteria and cycled home. Sun Hongxia had been sleeping all day, so she was feeling much more refreshed.
She chatted with Kong Demin along the way. After they got home, she busied herself preparing hot water for her husband to freshen up.
The two lay under the covers, with Kong Demin keeping his eyes closed and not speaking.
Sun Hongxia felt a pang of disappointment. She didn't know how other couples' lives were, but her own situation seemed far from normal.
"Demin, do you not like me? Why don't you ever want to touch me?"
