Chapter 441 Reconciliation
A slight smile unconsciously appeared on Sister Wang's lips.
She recalled the physical fitness test in her second year of high school, the 800-meter sprint.
She ran until her lungs felt like they were going to explode, then slipped and fell flat on her face, scraping her knees raw.
The surrounding classmates were all exclaiming in surprise, but the dullard who usually couldn't utter a word for a long time rushed over like a madman.
Without saying a word, he simply hoisted her heavy body onto his back.
"Slow down... I'm heavy..."
She protested softly on his back, her cheek pressed against his soaked shirt, and could clearly hear his rapid heartbeat, even faster than when she ran 800 meters.
From that day on, Sister Wang became a coward.
She dared not laugh at his red ears in public anymore, nor did she dare hide his eraser while he was doing his homework.
Because whenever she got close to him, her heart would pound like an engine.
Sister Wang murmured, "He really is an idiot..."
Because of her sudden gentleness, that idiot actually thought she was tired of this way of getting along and wanted to get away from him.
So, for the entire senior year of high school, the two became the strangest deskmates in the whole class.
They were so close, yet treated each other with the utmost respect, the air thick with cautious probing and self-righteous compromise.
Until the teacher appreciation banquet after the college entrance examination.
Cheap beer, leftover food all over the table, and a restless heat of parting.
That fool, drunk, ignited a fire in those always evasive eyes for the first time in his life.
He grabbed her wrist and, in the noisy KTV corridor, asked her again and again:
"Why...why are you ignoring me?"
"Is it because I'm too boring? Is it because I'm not good enough?"
Sister Wang was also so drunk that she couldn't think straight. She looked at the boy who was usually like a wooden doll, but now had bloodshot eyes.
Listening to his broken words, "I like you, I've liked you since the first time I saw you in junior high school."
In that dim light, she saw the boy's sincerity for the first time.
She stood on tiptoe, her voice barely audible, "I'm not ignoring you... I like you too."
Then, to the girl's astonishment, the boy moved closer.
In their awkwardness and naivety, two souls cautiously came together.
Sister Wang sat on the sofa, her gaze completely shifting from the television to the man beside her.
She remembered that evening filled with the smell of alcohol, when her husband kissed her for the first time.
Because they used too much force, their teeth collided, and the pain brought tears to their eyes.
But no one is willing to let go.
That same night, they got together.
Later, when she went to university, her temper became increasingly volatile because the boy was too dull.
But it's also because the boy is too dull.
He stood there like a silent and solid bulletproof wall, no matter how much she made a fuss or teased him, he would just rub the back of his head and chuckle foolishly, then silently try to make her happy.
In this similar late night~
Are you also quietly filled with regret and sorrow?
If only we hadn't been so stubborn back then~
Now I don't feel so regretful~
When Sister Wang looked at Jiang Baizhi on TV, who was unrealistically beautiful, her eyes suddenly reddened.
She turned her head and, in the dim light of the television, glanced at the man beside her.
She suddenly had an idea.
If she had been able to control her emotions this morning, wouldn't she be having a peaceful meal right now?
At that moment, her husband, as if possessed, reached out his hand. His rough hand hesitated in mid-air for a long time before finally gently landing on the back of Wang Jie's hand.
This time, Sister Wang didn't dodge.
She just sniffed, and a tear fell onto her hand with a thud.
"Why does this girl sing so well? Is she deliberately trying to keep me up at night?"
Sister Wang choked back tears and cursed, but then grabbed her husband's fingers.
"husband......."
As Sister Wang spoke, she was about to apologize.
Suddenly, she realized something was wrong.
The silent man beside me was now sobbing uncontrollably!
Tears streamed down his face, soaking his clothes!
The man sniffled, his voice hoarse, and said blankly:
"Wife... I'm sorry, we must never end up like the song says..."
"I'm clumsy; I'm not good at saying sweet things or creating romance. I shouldn't have argued with you this morning..."
The man cried and confessed, listing a whole bunch of things he had failed to do over the years.
Upon seeing this.
Sister Wang's heart melted instantly. She quickly rushed over and cupped her husband's face in her hands. Her initial anger had long been overshadowed by the regret in the song.
"Alright, alright, I'm not much better. I'm too stubborn."
Sister Wang's eyes also reddened, and her voice revealed a rare tenderness:
"As long as you don't mind my bad temper, we'll continue living like this."
The two exchanged a glance, and the air was instantly filled with the warmth of an old married couple.
Just as the man's heart was racing, and he pouted, preparing to relive that night of the college entrance exam—
"Knock knock knock!"
"Takeout! Your boiled live fish has arrived!"
The jarring knock on the door rang out right on time, nearly extinguishing the man's newly kindled flame of passion.
He stammered as he got up to open the door and brought in two still-steaming takeout boxes.
Sister Wang was a little puzzled when she saw the two takeout boxes.
The man scratched his head awkwardly:
"Honey... I was worried you'd be hungry, so I ordered one for you too."
"Shall we... eat first?"
Looking at the two dinners and then at her husband's adorable, dazed expression, Sister Wang suddenly burst out laughing.
She got up and stepped forward, not giving the man a chance to react, and shoved the two takeout boxes onto the table.
Followed by.
She grabbed the man's rough, large hands and pulled him toward the bedroom without saying a word.
The man was stunned:
"Hey? Honey, what are you doing?"
"No...not eating? This meat won't taste good if it gets cold!"
Sister Wang turned around and gave him a flirtatious glance, her voice so sweet and alluring it could melt a man's bones.
"Idiot! There are more important things to do than eating right now! Get the hell in here!"
"Bang!"
The bedroom door slammed shut, followed by the sound of a passionate kiss.
The air was thick with the scent of hormones.
Inside the living room.
The television was still on, and the music was still playing.
How do you remember me?
With a smile or in silence~
Has anyone been able to keep you from being lonely all these years?
Later, I finally learned how to love.
It's a pity you've already gone far away and disappeared into the sea of people.
Later, I finally understood through my tears.
Some people, once missed, are gone forever.
No more~
