Xu Lin closed his eyes: "Let's sleep. We have to get up early tomorrow. Driving from Jiangdu to the provincial city takes seven hours. If we leave at nine, we should be home by four or five in the afternoon."
"Then I'll tell my mom to buy more groceries and make something delicious. We'll eat at my place tomorrow!"
"OK."
"Honey, I love you."
"We're so familiar with each other already; no need for such mushy words. We both know it in our hearts."
"No, I have to say it, honey!"
In the darkness, she gave Xu Lin a few more kisses.
"Don't be naughty now. Let's sleep, early to bed and early to rise."
"Mmm hmm."
They tucked themselves in and spoke no more for the night.
Yu Xinyan had a sweet dream that night, dreaming of walking hand in hand with Xu Lin into the halls of marriage.
When she woke up, it was still dark outside, but the phone showed it was past five-thirty.
Yu Xinyan couldn't sleep anymore and just watched Xu Lin's face in the dim light.
