So, without a word, he turned over, and the sound of light snoring began. In his twenty-something years, he had never snored. Apparently, this sound of snoring finally made the girl beside him quiet down. She stopped being eager to try something. Instead, she just lay by his side. In the dark night, he heard the girl exhale a long breath. It turned out she was nervous too. Afterward, Gu Qiaoqiao fell asleep. Since he could remember, it was the first time someone else lay in his bed, and moreover, it was a girl, his wife in name. In the dark night, the senses were exceptionally sharp. Over half a day passed, and to his surprise, the girl’s breath was shallow and soft, completely different from what he knew. But he knew she had fallen asleep. He slightly turned his eyes; the girl beside him lay flat next to him, and although the room was very dark, he still saw her sleeping face. Like a flower quietly blooming in the depths of night. This was his thought at that moment. Originally, he thought having someone beside him would make him sleep poorly, but to his surprise, he slept especially peacefully that night. Because he had not been home for years, this family visit leave was simply not enough, and every day was fully scheduled. Especially Chu Chengfeng and Du Tian, these two childhood friends, who called every day right after breakfast. So this period of time passed extremely quickly. Most of the time when he returned, Gu Qiaoqiao was already asleep, twice with her clothes still on, obviously having fallen asleep while waiting for him, sleeping like a child. He originally wanted to help her take off her clothes, but the hand he reached out pulled back again because he hadn’t figured out how to face Gu Qiaoqiao’s questions the next day. For now, he didn’t want to give her any illusions. So he simply ignored it. The night before New Year’s Eve, Chu Chengfeng called again, saying they should gather once more with these good friends before the New Year’s Eve dinner. The time was the morning of New Year’s Eve. Originally, he had agreed with family to visit relatives and deliver New Year’s gifts, but he had to push it aside. He told his family about this matter during dinner, but it was such a small matter that it was of little concern to his grandmother and parents. And naturally, he didn’t care much about it either. That night, he didn’t go out but stayed in the study looking at secret materials, so he didn’t know what Gu Qiaoqiao was doing. By the time he finished handling the materials and reports, it was already two in the morning. He returned to the bedroom. By this time, Gu Qiaoqiao was already asleep, and he also let out a sigh of relief. Sometimes, he really didn’t know how to face her. In the morning, he noticed Gu Qiaoqiao’s expression was somewhat strange, a bit confused and uneasy, with a hint of determination. He didn’t understand what was going on. However, Chu Chengfeng and Du Tian had already made urging calls, he dressed in his coat, ready to go out and meet those friends. Comparatively, he still preferred being with Chu Chengfeng and Du Tian. Being with Gu Qiaoqiao was sometimes stifling and heavy.

But he never expected that just as he stood up to leave, Gu Qiaoqiao, who had been quietly sitting on the sofa, suddenly stood up and, with a tremble in her voice, said, "Brother Ah Ze, I won’t let you go."
