After walking only a few steps, he realized that there were faint breathing sounds coming from the bed, someone was there!
Seeing a woman lying on her back on the bed, covered by a quilt, with her black hair strewn across the pillow, he was overjoyed, "Wife, you're back?"
The woman on the bed did not respond, apparently asleep.
"Wife, I looked for you all day; my legs are stiff from walking, and I even barged into Yi Garden to demand you from the Xiao couple. You made it so hard for me to find you!" There was a mix of anger, helplessness, and indulgence in his voice.
He glanced at the clothes placed at the bedhead and saw that they indeed belonged to his wife, so he didn't doubt the situation any further.
He couldn't bother with lighting a lamp and climbed into bed in the dark, intending to embrace his wife.
Just as he got close, his hand hadn't even reached under the quilt when he felt something was off.
