"Do we need to bring snacks? How long we'll be traveling?"
Shen Yi knew from the start that his wife's thoughts were always filled with food, but sometimes, he wondered if she thinks of him.
When her husband didn't respond, Lu Xinyi was worried that the rift between them was still there. There was a proverb 'absence makes the heart grow fonder'; she knew that the days of not being together had disturbed her heart.
"I'm so sorry," she started, "I broke my promise…"
Shen Yi stared at her, waiting for her to continue. To make clear what she meant.
"I said before that I'll be open to you, that I will not let a problem between us drag for too long…"
His silence was starting to irk her, but she could only chew her lower lip.
"Pick up your things. We'll leave soon," was all Shen Yi said.
