Qin Huan looked at the wounds on his hands, calloused and added new ones. The pair of well-maintained hands, like the hands of an artist, became scarred. She watched his clumsiness when playing with tools such as brooms and mops, and gradually became...
With ease, she watched him quietly follow her, from rejection to helplessness, from helplessness to resignation, and then from resignation to adaptation.
Before I knew it, a month had passed.
This month, she spent time with Red every day, but her life was very peaceful, so peaceful that she was surprised. It was even calmer than when she lived alone.
But unfortunately, Red is right next to her.
It turns out that no amount of indifference can withstand a person who can completely let go of his status and hang around you every day, that kind of cautious, that kind of sincere and humble, even if you just say a word "no", you will feel that
It also carries a strong sense of guilt.
But……
How could she let this go on?
How could she just calmly accept Red by her side and continue like this?
"Red, let's talk."
After Qin Huan said this to Red, he sat on the sofa and motioned for him to sit on the other side.
Red couldn't describe what he was feeling at this moment. He stayed low and careful like this for a full month, coexisting peacefully with her for such a month. This was something he had never thought about, from the time they got married to now.
In five years, he really didn't stay by her side for more than a week. Even this month, she was as cold and indifferent as ever, but at least she no longer rejected her, even if she still didn't say much, one day
He couldn't say a word, but he was still happy.
Now...she finally wanted to talk to him.
Is it...has his efforts paid off?
Will she... recognize his efforts?
Or, what else would she say to anger him and drive him away?
Red sat down a little uneasily, his black eyes fell straight on Qin Huan's calm face, and his voice tried to be as relaxed as possible, "Huanhuan, what do you want to tell me?"
Qin Huan raised her eyes slightly and slowly met his gaze. She opened her lips slightly, but said directly, "What do you want?"
Red's eyes dimmed slightly, and then he smiled again, his voice softened, "Huanhuan, don't you know what I want?"
From beginning to end, he had only one purpose, one extravagant wish.
Of course Qin Huan knew that everything he did had one purpose in the end, which was to start over with her, but...where could there be a new beginning between them? Where could there be a new beginning? She couldn't do it, and neither could he.
Because she is a sinner, and so is he.
After a pause, Red continued: "Huanhuan, isn't this how couples get along? If we are like this, we can be considered a couple."
He also wanted to say, if you don't reject this kind of married life, then we can try it, start slowly, and accept it slowly.
He doesn't mind that he pays more, he doesn't mind that she doesn't love him, and he doesn't mind that he acts as a househusband around her. As long as she is willing to give him a chance, a chance for him to love her, then
Enough.
But Qin Huan's expressionless face and a cold and indifferent sentence shattered all his extravagant hopes, "You know that some things cannot be forced."
