The sun was high in the sky, and the warm sun outside the window was closing in.

The light beams pierced his eyelids, causing Su Qiao An to frown, and he raised his hand to cover his eyes.

When she opened her eyes, her mind was blank.

Transient fragment.

He got up and looked around. The memory of yesterday slowly came back to him, and the broken memory layer also slowly connected back together.

"He woke up." Zhu Jiangci came out of the cloakroom. "Wake up and wash up for breakfast."

"You do it?" Su Qiao An suspiciously looked at him. If he remembered correctly, he had stabbed his left hand with the letter opener yesterday.

"Yes."

Zhu Jiangci was dressed in light gray casual pants and a white sweater. She was like the autumn sun, warm and beautiful, completely different from the strict and rigid way she worked.

Su Qiao An pushed away her blanket and got up from the bed. Stepping on the soft carpet, she saw from the corner of her eyes that there was a pair of warm pink female furry slippers by her bed. She was stunned for a moment, then put on her slippers and ran to the bathroom.

Zhu Jiangci had long since brought her toiletries, and there were only two towels on the shelf. One was dark black, and the other was pure white.

There were also two cups, light blue and light pink, with two toothbrushes in each.

More than that, she saw that shower lotion, shampoo, and even face wash were for both men and women.

The toilets were made almost in pairs, not as if a man lived alone, but as if there were a very sweet couple living here.

Su Qiao An was stunned while using the toothbrush. As she brushed her teeth, she observed the bathroom.

"Don't think too much." Zhu Jiangci suddenly came in from the door and explained, "No other woman has come here."

She avoided his smiling gaze and lowered her eyes to brush her teeth.

"I don't know when you'll be here, so I always have something for you at home." Zhu Jiangci laughed at himself.

There were people who came here to change things every month.

He did not know if Su Qiao An would come, and did not know if she would one day have any use for these things.

This was a type of obsession.

He created the illusion that the two of them were still living together, deceiving himself.

Su Qiao An lowered his head to rinse his mouth, then washed his face.

When she went out, breakfast was already on the table.

Seeing Zhu Jiangci barely able to use both hands to carry the bowl of porridge, she immediately took it from him and carried it onto the table, and could not help but nag, "Don't you know that your hand is injured? If you start bleeding again, who's going to change your medicine? "

Her back was facing Zhu Jiangci, so she did not know that Zhu Jiangci was already standing behind her.

When he turned around, Su Yun almost crashed into his chest.

Zhu Jiangci held onto the edge of the table with both hands, and pulled her into his arms. "You're still very nervous about me."

"I …" For the first time, she didn't know how to answer.

In the past, she could always righteously say that even if a cat or dog died in front of her, she would still help them bury their corpses. But today … She could not speak such words.

Zhu Jiangci was so close to her that she stopped thinking.

There was no scent of tobacco on his body, only a faint fragrance from the shower gel, clean and refreshing.

That shallow breath seemed to have seeped into the subcutaneous tissue, his heartbeat accelerated.

"I don't like the way he looks at you. I don't like him getting close to you. I don't like you smiling at him." The more Zhu Jiangci said, the lower his voice became, "Qiao An, I am very jealous of him."

Su Qiao An suddenly raised his head, like a frightened deer in the forest, his eyes bright and clear, filled with a thin layer of mist.

Did she understand? It was a test of a man's endurance to show such an expression in front of him.

While she was at a loss, the phone in the living room rang.

Su Qiao An heaved a sigh of relief, "The phone is ringing, quickly go pick it up, if there's something important I need to find you for, it won't be good if I miss it."

I can't force him too hard.

Zhu Jiangci looked at her deeply, then got up and left.

Su Qiao An's legs became weak, and he fell down onto the dining chair.

She subconsciously looked at the man who was answering the phone in the living room with a blank expression.

Was she being too cheap?

The past that she had always thought she would never forget now seemed to have been slowly cleared and that memory became fuzzy.

But...

Child.

Su Yun's expression turned gloomy, he touched his flat stomach.

There had been a little life here, a little life that had held all her hopes and beliefs.

Although she had been taken aback by his arrival, she had never thought of giving up.

She wanted the child to live, to see him grow.

Rather than saying that she was unable to forgive Zhu Jiangci, it would be more accurate to say that she was unwilling to let him go.

That dark corner, had always expanded infinitely when she tried to approach Zhu Jiangci.

After Zhu Jiangci received the call, he saw Su Qiao An in a daze.

With just a glance, Zhu Jiangci could already guess what she was thinking.

She still couldn't really get over that part of the past, even though she still had feelings for herself.

Her love for him was not enough to make her forget, and his love for her was not enough to make up for the pain of the child's death.

They were caught in a cycle of death, separating — ambiguous — and breaking off.

Just like this, time and time again, the cycle of reincarnation continued to linger between possession and loss.

He knew what Su Qiao An was thinking. When he appeared in front of her, she had already tried very hard to hide her expression.

She smiled gently at Zhu Jiangci. "The doctor said yesterday that if you're not busy, you would still want to go to the hospital for a detailed examination."

This was what the doctor had said to her before he left. Of course, the original statement was that if they felt it was necessary, they would go to the hospital for a detailed examination.

"No need, I know my body very well."

Unless it was absolutely necessary, he really did not want to enter that place.

"That's up to you. Oh right, don't touch your hands with water, and don't use your left hand. Don't try to force yourself, as you did before. It's troublesome to change your medicine frequently, and it's also prone to bacterial infection." She continued to talk about the things that she needed to be careful of Zhu Jiangci, and at the end, she paused, "You still have to invite the workers to clean the house? In any case, you don't need to do any of the household chores, nor do you want to cook for yourself.

She was a little nagging, but her nagging was a little cute.

He really enjoyed this warm and ordinary moment.

"Did you hear me?"

"Yes."

Su Qiao An rolled her eyes at him. Seeing that he was being so perfunctory, she knew that he was just being careless again.

She herself had completely not realized that her relationship with Zhu Jiangci had already exceeded the boundaries she had drawn, and she had even less noticed just how nervous she was with Zhu Jiangci.

Zhu Jiangci was smiling from head to toe, patiently listening to her earnest teachings.
