Side Story (8)

"Of course, I remember that." Su Wenxiu smiled. Although a few years had passed, he still remembered that time.

Zi Die looked at him curiously and asked, "Then why'd you agree to share a meal with me when you returned from Yang County?"

She looked at him with anticipation as she awaited his answer. Su Wenxiu raised his brows and asked back, "Do you really want to know?"

Zi Die nodded vigorously. "Of course I do!"

She could not guess Su Wenxiu's thoughts back then because he always looked so mysterious. Zi Die was nervous and anxious back then.

Su Wenxiu ruffled his wife's hair and said softly, "I gave your confession much thought when I was in Yang County. I couldn't stop thinking about you and the words you said. After a while, I realized that—"

"Well, what did you realize?" Zi Die was eager for her husband to get to the point. Since Su Wenxiu rarely expressed his feelings, she wanted to remember them forever.
