A foreign city, dear you

Ye Lian was puzzled.

Seeing Ye Lian still thinking deeply, Cao Xueqian said, "Don't think about it. It's getting late. Let's take a shower and go to bed."

Okay, I don’t think about it anymore, I can’t think of a reason.

However, Cao Xueqian was able to let go immediately even if he said he didn't want to, but Ye Lian couldn't.

Who is calling "Brother Qian"?

Why do I only hear sounds but not people?

……

While Ye Lian was taking a bath, she was still thinking about this strange question. The crisp "Brother Qian" sounded in her mind from time to time.

"Brother Qian!" It sounded so eager and joyful, like the surprise and joy of seeing your sweetheart at first sight.

Ye Lian was surprised that she was still bothered by such a mysterious name, and she felt a little jealous.

Maybe it's because I am older than Cao Xueqian and have never called Cao Xueqian "Brother Qian", so I feel inexplicable fear, worry, jealousy and resistance to this affectionate name that has nothing to do with me.

Love brother? Love sister?

This seems to be the most common conventional combination?

Ye Lian felt a little sour in her heart when she thought about it.

Moreover, is that person Cheng Dianfei?

Why did Cao Xueqian think of Cheng Dianfei immediately? Could it be that he was always thinking of her, so he blurted out her name?

All these questions kept lingering in her mind from time to time. She couldn't explain them clearly and couldn't get rid of them.

After taking a bath and before going to bed, Ye Lian came to the balcony again and wanted to turn off the lights on the balcony.

It was no longer dark on the other side.

At some point, the call came.

Ye Lian once again looked at the opposite balcony thoughtfully.

The balcony had no lights on, it was dim and silent.

However, that "Brother Qian" could not be an illusion, because he heard it and Xue Qian also heard it.

Ye Lian turned off the light and came to the bedroom.

Cao Xueqian was already lying on the bed.

Ye Lian turned off the light and lay down on the bed.

"lotus."

In the darkness, Cao Xueqian called her name as always, stretched out his hands and put her in his arms as always.

Ye Lian was as docile as a cat as always, lying in Cao Xueqian's arms. It was her harbor of love and a place where she could feel at ease.

After ten years of marriage, this happens every night. Cao Xueqian always waits for Ye Lian to fall asleep together. Sometimes even if he falls asleep first, as soon as Ye Lian comes, he will automatically wake up, call her name, and hold her in his arms.

Does it sound like you have someone else in your heart?

Isn't everything normal?

Suspicion is most taboo between husband and wife.

Believe him, he still loves me as always.

Just as Ye Lian was thinking this, Cao Xueqian whispered in her ear, "Lian, I love you."

Ye Lian smiled sweetly.

do not care!

"Cheng Dianfei" and "Brother Qian", put them behind you, happy woman, sleep peacefully.

*

Unlike Ye Lian who was puzzled, Cheng Dianfei was shocked. She didn't expect that Cao Xueqian would appear on the balcony opposite, nor did she expect that she would blurt out and call him "Brother Qian."

This title circled in her mind so many times, but she didn't have the courage to speak. Unexpectedly, tonight, when I suddenly saw Cao Xueqian, this title popped out of my mouth involuntarily for the first time.

When Cheng Dianfei realized it, her cheeks turned red and her heart beat wildly.

Cheng Dianfei, are you crazy? You have exposed a long-hidden secret in front of Cao Xueqian!

In shock, Cheng Dianfei also heard Cao Xueqian's question: "Are you - Cheng Dianfei?" She was hesitating to answer when she heard a woman's voice: "Husband, who are you?"

Oops, his wife is here!

Cheng Dianfei turned around quickly as if he was electrocuted, left the balcony as if fleeing, and flashed into the living room.

So hopeless.

Why are you running away? Why are you afraid? What didn't you do?

I do not know either.

I just ran away, but I was scared, like an underground lover who saw his lover’s real wife, feeling extremely guilty and timid!

Lover? ridiculous! Who is your lover?

How ironic! He is not my lover, he has no idea that I love him. I am self-inflicted. The pain of thinking about him day and night, and the unspeakable torment of being in love, are all caused by me!

Cheng Dianfei returned to the living room in panic and hid herself in the darkness.

Zhu Lijun's voice sounded suddenly, and Cheng Dianfei was startled again. Fortunately, although there was the residual light of the electric light on the opposite balcony, Zhu Lijun could not clearly see her expression.

"Who were you talking to just now?" Zhu Lijun asked.

"No, I didn't talk to anyone... Oh, I just made a call." Cheng Dianfei explained incoherently.

Fortunately, there was no light, so my cousin couldn't see her red and feverish face.

"I clearly heard a man's voice." Zhu Lijun's voice was a little confused.

"Well, I pressed speakerphone." Cheng Dianfei explained hurriedly.

Zhu Lijun said "Oh" and changed the topic: "The lights on the balcony opposite are turned on, and we can see a little bit. Shall we take a shower and go to bed?"

Cheng Dianfei was absent-minded and didn't seem to hear Zhu Lijun's words. She looked sideways outside, toward the balcony that had surprised and frightened her just now. She saw the profile of a woman, petite and petite; she saw Cao Xueqian's hand naturally resting on the woman's shoulder...

"Cheng Dianfei!" Seeing that Cheng Dianfei didn't say anything, Zhu Lijun shouted loudly.

"Huh?" Cheng Dianfei asked blankly.

"Let's take a shower and go to bed," Zhu Lijun said loudly again: "When the lights on the balcony opposite are turned off, we won't be able to see them."

"Oh, okay." Cheng Dianfei agreed. She looked at the balcony opposite again, and the two people standing leaning on each other were no longer there.

They must have gone into the house, cuddling each other and whispering.

Happiness is theirs, I feel nothing but sadness.

Cheng Dianfei walked through the living room and was going to the room to get the clothes she wanted to change into after taking a shower.

At this time, the call came.

Light returned to the living room.

"Finally, the call came." Zhu Lijun shouted happily.

Cheng Dianfei remained silent, seemingly unable to feel the change in light.

"The call came, let's finish these chicken feet?" Zhu Lijun said, pointing to the box of chicken feet on the table.

"I won't eat anymore." Cheng Dianfei's mood waned.

"What's wrong with you?" Zhu Lijun was a little strange: "Aren't you very annoyed that you couldn't eat chicken feet during the power outage? Why not eat it now that you can?"

"I don't want to eat it." Cheng Dianfei said calmly and went to take a shower.

Zhu Lijun looked at Cheng Dianfei's back and felt that she suddenly became strange.

After a while, Cheng Dianfei came out of the shower and said, "Sister, I'm going to bed."

"Okay, then you can go to sleep." Zhu Lijun said, "Let's get up early tomorrow and go hiking. If it's too late, it will be too hot."
