When she arrived at the vegetable market, Lin Li bought the roast duck she had been craving for, and also bought some other fruits. She tasted a grape and found it particularly sweet, so she bought some.

Passing by a bakery, Lin Li bought some red bean paste bread and took the bus home.

When I got home, I suddenly saw a man at the door, leaning against the door frame with his arms folded.

"Why are you back?"

Xie Yu was wearing a black suit and shiny leather shoes. He took the things from Lin Li's hand and walked back, "I'll come back to pick you up."

"I've been to the city so many times. It's not like I can't find the way. Do I need you to pick me up?"

He must have other things to do when he comes back.

"What are you planning now?"

"My wife is really smart. My little sister is going to live with us, so why don't I come back and take her with me? Then my parents won't worry about her going to the city alone."

Now that Xie Yu is back, and Lin Li hasn't been to Xie's house for a long time, she decided to go back with Xie Yu to take a look.

After dinner, Xie Yu chatted with Lin’s father in the living room for a while. After washing up, he went back to his room to sleep.

Lin Li took a shower and her hair was half dry. The house was filled with the sweet smell of shower gel. She began to rummage through the drawers.

Xie Yu was lying on the bed. "Wife, are you moving? Why are you bringing so many things?"

"That's right." They stuffed a lot of clothes into their luggage and were going home to stay for a day or two. "There's no need to bring so much."

"Let's go to sleep then?" Xie Yu patted the bed.

"No, I don't need to bring too many clothes when I go home, but I'm going directly to the provincial capital from my hometown, so I'd better pack everything I need to bring."

Now that there is a new highway, Xie Yu always drives back instead of taking the train.

"Hey, wife, it's not too late to pack up tomorrow. A night of spring is worth a thousand gold." Anyway, they have their own car and can leave whenever they want.

Lin Li turned her back to Xie Yu, not knowing what to say, "Is there anything else in your mind?"

Take the clothes you want to wear out of the closet, fold them neatly and put them in the suitcase.

In fact, Xie Yu had already prepared many daily necessities, so Lin Li only needed to take some things with her.

Xie Yu sat up and put on his slippers. "Wife, we haven't seen each other for almost a month. Don't you miss me?"

Knowing that he was thinking of something bad again, he had been driving for a whole day and was not tired at all. "It's only been a month, not decades or hundreds of years. What are you thinking about?"

"A short absence is better than a new marriage. It's getting late, it's time to rest."

"You should go to bed early. You still have to drive tomorrow. You are a driver, so you need to get enough sleep."

Lin Li turned around, held the man's shoulders, and asked him to sit back on the bed. "I'll go to sleep later."

"It's okay. Today is today, and tomorrow is tomorrow. Don't worry about my skills." Xie Yu held Lin Li's hand, his eyes full of anticipation.

"No, there's no room for negotiation. My luggage is not packed yet."

He is a man who is particularly passionate about that thing, and he never stops talking about it. Lin Li has to go back to the Xie family tomorrow, and she doesn't want to limp along and make a fool of herself in front of them.

No matter what Xie Yu said, Lin Li would not waver.

"Wife, can you please do me a favor?"

"If you keep chirping, go to the guest room upstairs and sleep alone."

Finally, Xie Yu couldn't wait any longer and went to sleep. Lin Li packed the luggage as quietly as possible for fear of disturbing Xie Yu's sleep.

It was almost twelve o'clock when Lin Li finished packing and lay on the bed. Xie Yu immediately came over and hugged Lin Li tightly in his arms, clamping the woman's calves with his big legs.

The man closed his eyes and muttered, "Wife, you are so sweet and fragrant. I like it so much."

"I know. I like you, too." Lin Li kissed Xie Yu on the forehead. He had really worked hard over the years.

The next day, Lin Li was awakened by the intermittent panting sounds beside her ears. She felt unwell, and when she opened her eyes, she realized that Xie Yu was becoming restless again.

Trapped in bed by the person behind him, "Xie Yu, why are you so annoying so early in the morning?"

"Of course it's to do what we didn't do yesterday." He spoke intermittently.

Lin Li regretted that she should have let Xie Yu sleep in the guest room last night.

"You're not going home today?"

"It won't delay you, don't worry."

~~

After lunch, Xie Yu and Lin Li set off for their hometown.

Afraid of being hungry, Lin Li bought some snacks and ate potato chips while sitting in the passenger seat. "You are so busy at work, why are you back? Tell me, I can bring Xie Hong with me."

"I know, but I just missed you, so I came back."

"Whatever you say." Lin Li did not forget to feed Xie Yu.

"Yesterday, I saw Meng Ranyue."

"Oh, what then?"

"She said she might divorce her husband and take one child with her. She asked me if I could think of a solution. She didn't want to leave with the child."

"Then what did you say?"

"I know a lawyer who handles divorce cases. I can help her get in touch with him."

Meng Ranyue hasn't worked for several years. If she gets divorced and has to take care of a child, she doesn't know how hard life will be. She has already been worn down by life.

Compared with Meng Ranyue, Lin Li is so much happier. What else can she be dissatisfied with?

"Anyway, you two are friends, so it's only right for you to help her. It's not easy for her as a woman." Lin Li unscrewed the bottle cap and put the straw to Xie Yu's mouth.

"If I hadn't been there, maybe Meng Ranyue's life wouldn't have been so hard, and she would have been able to live a life of luxury following a big boss like you."

"How can you say such things? She and I are just not meant to be together. This has nothing to do with you."

"What about me?"

Xie Yu had a smile on his face. "My wife and I, of course, have been together for a hundred years and have been together for a thousand years to sleep on the same pillow."

"Oh, you're talking in a very different way."

"That's right. I've been working in the business world for so many years."

The car had already left the city. There were trees on both sides of the road. Lin Li opened the car window halfway and enjoyed the breeze.

"So you say one thing to one person and another thing to another?"

"I can be like this to other people, but I must tell the truth to my wife."

"I don't believe in smooth talk at all. Who knows, one day you might sell me out, and I'll still happily talk about money."

"I have taken good care of my wife, so I can't bear to sell her."
