It's hard to quit, but it's the perfect marriage!

Zhu Xi swallowed hard. "I saw your message while you were asleep."

Zhou Yinghuai didn't take it to heart. "Okay, I've given you the phone password. You can look at it anytime you want."

"Do you have any secrets?" Zhu Xi asked, staring into his eyes. "Zhou Yinghuai, does someone like you have any secrets that no one else knows?"

Zhou Yinghuai's eyes darkened.

Since his birth, his life has been smooth sailing. His parents are healthy and loving, and his younger sister is lively and cheerful.

The Zhou family was at its peak, and he stood at the top of the ladder for thirty years without ever experiencing any setbacks.

He had excellent grades during his student years and consistently ranked at the top of the list.

After starting work, he used his innate keenness and absolute intuition to increase the performance of Dazhou Group by one-third.

As for marriage, he never took it to heart.

His parents asked him if he needed help.

Zhou Lingyi also asked him if he was satisfied every day.

In the height of summer, these friends even asked him if he had any regrets about having such a comfortable life.

But no one ever asked him, "Zhou Yinghuai, do you have any secrets?"

Zhu Xi's eyes were still shining; at this moment, he was more patient than she was.

Zhou Yinghuai pursed his lips tightly, the bright sunlight from the cave entrance behind him had quietly faded away, leaving it even darker and more difficult to see than before.

The wind swept up more moisture and coolness from the pool, brushing against the faces of the two locked in a stalemate.

Zhu Xi smiled, her smile innocent and genuine. "I confess, I have a secret."

Zhou Yinghuai watched as she held her phone and swore an oath, and her phone screen lit up.

He saw their wedding photo.

It is completely consistent with his.

-

Half a day inside the cave, a thousand years of fleeting glory.

Their sleep improved, and they went outside one after the other.

Zhu Xi, who was in front, walked a little faster, while Zhou Yinghuai, who was carrying a lantern, walked slower due to his long legs.

The lights were dim, and the skirts swayed gently.

The two of them were never more than two meters apart.

The cave was dark inside, but the entrance was bright.

As they approached the cave entrance, Zhu Xi stopped and suddenly turned around.

Zhou Yinghuai followed closely behind.

The lights illuminated a small area around the two of them, and their eyes met silently.

Zhu Xi was led by the wrist by Zhou Yinghuai towards the dark cave entrance.

Zhou Yinghuai held the bag in his left hand and gripped her wrist with his right, glancing at her from time to time.

Their eyes met and collided, and Zhu Xi was led away from this summer paradise by him.

When they peered at the starlight again, the driver stepped forward and took the things from Zhou Yinghuai's hands, and Zhu Xi took the opportunity to break free from his hand.

With her wrist bone free, Zhu Xi rubbed the spot where the two had touched, trying to brush away the strange discomfort of ants crawling on it.

When they arrived, Zhou Yinghuai was so busy joking around with her that he didn't really take a good look at the scenery.

He looked around.

Zhu Xi stood beside him, mimicking his movements by swaying her head.

"What are you looking at?" She stepped on a stone to keep her gaze level with his.

Zhou Yinghuai lowered his eyes, looked at her standing on one leg, and answered her question while holding her elbow.

"How could such a beautiful place be rumored to be haunted?"

After saying that, he laughed first, "Lingyi wanted to come here since junior high school, but she was too scared to come because of the legend that there were ghosts."

Zhu Xi switched legs and continued standing on one leg, asking with a mischievous grin, "By the way, you dote on Lingyi so much, you didn't expect to come along with her?"

She raised an eyebrow, thinking she had caught Zhou Yinghuai red-handed. "Are you scared?"

Zhou Yinghuai, who was doubted about her courage, deliberately teased her. To prove that she wasn't afraid, she took out her phone and said, "I'll call the driver right now and have the camping gear sent back."

He then threatened Zhu Xi, "You're not allowed to leave either. We'll fight until dawn!"

Zhu Xi raised her hand to stop her, but her tiptoes made it impossible for her to maintain her balance.

He slipped and fell straight backward.

"I......"

Zhu Xi's hand went empty; she failed to grab Zhou Yinghuai's hand.

"Congratulations!" Zhou Yinghuai held her waist with his large hand and pulled her steadily into his arms.

Still shaken, Zhu Xi pressed the cloth to Zhou Yinghuai's chest to calm him for a moment.

Zhou Yinghuai's tone was slightly urgent as he released her, "Did you sprain your ankle?"

Zhu Xi shook her head. "No."

Zhou Yinghuai frowned, helped her stand up, and then squatted down.

Zhu Xi tried to step back, but he grabbed her right leg to steady her.

Zhou Yinghuai looked up. "Don't be afraid, let me see."

Zhu Xi chuckled awkwardly, trying to hide her embarrassment, and bent down to help the person up, saying, "You didn't twist your ankle."

Zhou Yinghuai's expression softened slightly. "Really?"

"Are you questioning my medical skills?" she joked. "Really, it's nothing."

"Let's go, let's go." She walked ahead of him, urging, "Take me home, I want to go home."

From tranquility to clamor, from ethereal to real.

On the way back to the city, we remained silent.

Zhou Yinghuai escorted her to the entrance of the residential area, and the two said goodbye under the warm yellow lights.

Zhu Xi accepted the snacks from number 6 as usual, not knowing when Zhou Yinghuai had them prepared.

It seems like being with him means you can get everything without having to worry about anything.

She shook the bag and laughed, "My appetite has grown; you've spoiled me. I'm going to become so arrogant and unreasonable that you can't even mention divorce."

She raised an eyebrow. "What will you do then?"

"You won't," he said confidently. "Zhu Xi, you are kind at heart."

Zhu Xi snorted, "Tch, I thought you were going to compliment my looks."

Zhou Yinghuai: "Of course, you are very beautiful. Beautiful and kind, kind and beautiful."

Zhu Xi felt somewhat uncomfortable when the polite and gentle man made a witty remark.

She didn't know what to say, so she just kept stepping on his shadow.

She tilted her head, watched him take a half step back, and said, "I'm leaving."

Zhou Yinghuai: "Good night, best wishes."

Goodnight, Zhou Yinghuai.

Today was filled with unexpected events.

Unexpectedly, they saw Zhou Yinghuai, who had suddenly returned to China, and their prank at the wedding went very smoothly.

Unexpectedly, I spent half a day in that secluded, cool place in peace and quiet.

Zhu Xi, who was promoted to chief resident, did not insist on catching up on sleep during his rest time for the first time.

Zhou Yinghuai watched her figure recede further and further away from him, watching her silky hair almost disappear from sight.

He moved forward unconsciously.

But it was too late; the tightly closed iron fence of the residential complex blocked them from entering.

Just a step away, his gaze was unseen by Zhu Xi.

Zhou Yinghuai stood there, waiting for the white skirt to completely disappear into the dark night.

The overhead light flickered, obscuring the true intentions in his eyes.

He turned to turn around, but the freshly painted gate slid slowly backward.

The security guard coughed lightly, pretending not to notice, and stuffed the access card back into his pocket.

Zhou Yinghuai could feel the security guard's goodwill and his persistent gaze urging him to come forward.

He thanked him and resolutely turned to leave.

In the car, he made a phone call to Zhu Xi.

The first time, the call didn't go through.

The phone was twirling on my lap when, at the intersection ahead, the traffic lights suddenly switched.

Red light on.

Zhou Yinghuai said in a deep voice, "Turn right, go back."

The driver nodded, and the right turn signal came on.

For a moment, the only sound in the quiet carriage was the clicking of the right turn signal.

The black sedan circled back around to the entrance of the residential complex.

Before Zhou Yinghuai got out of the car, he saw the white dress again through the car window.

His hair was twitching, and he looked hurried.

At that moment, the call that had gone unanswered earlier was reconnected.

He answered the phone and got out of the car.

The voices in my ears were urgent.

"Zhou Yinghuai, have you left?"
