A Funny Thought

Although she was dreaming, the outcome of the dream was actually preposterous. Throughout the three years of marriage, they had barely spent time together to do something. The only time he would come to spend time with her was when he gave her money every month. And after he had sex with her, he would walk away from her immediately. He would rather sleep in the study room than sleep in the same room with her.

Just like what other outsiders said about them, he had never done anything for her during the wedding. There was no wedding gown, diamond ring, wedding ceremony, or honeymoon. The only picture that they had was taken at the wedding registration building.

And she would never forget the vacant look that he had when he proposed to her. Most importantly, the so called 'marriage life' was torture to her. Maybe, they should not have gotten married. They should not even be friends! Everything was a mistake…

Gu Qingqing was having a hard time falling asleep. She felt like she was being thrown into a river. Although she was surrounded by water, she still felt like the thirst in her body was going to kill her. And when she swam to the surface, she found a wood plank floating on the river. Immediately, she went and grabbed it. It was a solid wood plank. And she would never let it go because it could save her life.

Leng Sicheng was lying right beside Gu Qingqing. When she extended her hand to him, he attempted to push her away. And when he retracted his arm, he accidentally touched her slip dress. Her fair and soft shoulders were presented before him. Immediately, he put back his arm to where it should be at lightning speed.

During the split second when he touched her, he could feel that her body temperature was higher than usual. Though the temperature was controlled in the house and the weather was not too cold, all she wore was a slip dress and covered herself with a thin blanket; it was no wonder that she was having a fever. Besides, she did not even dry her hair before going to bed.

Just when Leng Sicheng wanted to push her away and cover her with a blanket, Gu Qingqing felt that the temperature around her had changed. Immediately, she went and looked for the nearest heat source and that would be Leng Sicheng. Her body was basically glued to Leng Sicheng's. He had to resist really hard not touching her.

The smell of her shampoo and body wash mixed with her breath was still lingering in the air. It was not as pungent as compared to the general perfume that other women used. Her gentle smell penetrated his skin and bones. In the end, her smell was infused with Leng Sicheng's cells. Unconsciously, she had left her mark all over Leng Sicheng's body.

Just like her, when Leng Sicheng met her for the very first time; she was an innocent girl limping on the grass under the sun. Her movements might not be elegant but the smile on her was the sweetest smile that he had ever seen. And her eyes were filled with joy. The moment Leng Sicheng looked into her eyes, he could not help but smile at her. The joy that he had experienced was unspeakable.
