289 MADAME CHEN

Xue Jinxu was curled lying on the couch in the living room of the Chen couple's dream house while clutching her husband's maroon couple shirt which she has given him before. His shirt had a print of 'She's a catch' on it while hers had a print of 'He's a keeper'. It was the very first gift she gave him during their vague boyfriend-girlfriend phase. 

While wearing hers, she clutched his shirt tightly in her arms while sniffing it – engulfing herself with his essence – and while rewatching the video of her husband that she captured one morning when they were having breakfast during the early days of their harmonious marriage. 

The video went like…

"Dear, how can I eat it? I don't want to destroy it. It's too cute." Chen Linyun had said then the camera zoomed in towards the smiley-looking porridge. She had cooked porridge with two sunny-side-up eyes, bacon as smiling mouth, and mushrooms as brows.
