Tossing and turning, Liang was unable to sleep. Not taking it anymore, he called Jinjing up one more time.
"I am still not able to sleep, everything here smells of you. The duvet, your pillow, everything. I am missing you even more." Jinjing could not see him, but she was sure he was pouting like a spoilt kid right now. His cute image made her chuckle. The sound of it, annoyed Liang.
"here I am having troubles sleeping and you are laughing. Taking pleasure in my pain. If you are not coming here, fine no problem, I will sleep over at your parent's as well."
"no, no, no…." Jinjing immediately stopped him from doing any such thing. Her parents wouldn't mind but it would be so embarrassing for him to come over in the middle of the night.
"baby…. It's just been one night that we have spent together, how did you get so used to having me around?" Jinjing was really having a tough time trying to figure out his insistence of sleeping together. Even then, she had to make this work.
"okay! I will do one thing, I will keep talking till you fall asleep… is that fine?" left with no better option, Liang agreed. Liang lay on his side and placed the phone between his ear and the pillow. He hugged onto Jinjing's pillow and with a smile etched on his face, he kept listening to Jinjing's sweet voice.
"I love you baby and I can't wait to get married to you." Jinjing began speaking. And Liang would only hum or give small replies.
"Me too."
Jinjing continued, "I really like the way you cling onto me, it shows how much you need me. The way you hug me, your strong embrace makes me feel safe."
"praise my abs as well, I have been working very hard to build them." Liang interrupted.
"Shhhh…. Don't talk only listen." Jinjing went on talking about how handsome and reliable he is, how much she needs him and loves him. Etc. etc.
Soon enough she could hear his even breathing. Understanding that he had fallen asleep, she disconnected the call and turned to the other side and fell asleep herself. "such a baby." She thought before falling into deep slumber.
Monday morning.
Jinjing woke up pretty early. She had to not only get dressed up but she also had to pack some of her stuff, to move it over to their matrimonial house. She would not be taking everything, just some necessary stuff.
Done with her packing, she went down for her breakfast. This would probably be her last with her parents as a bachelorette. The next time she would be Mrs. Sheng. She blushed at that thought and slowly repeated under her breath, "Mrs. Sheng, Mrs. Sheng…" she felt giddy with excitement.
Mama Lee looked at her daughter and thought, "the son-in-law is already influencing my daughter." She snapped her fingers to get Jinjing out of her day dream.
"Lady, stop thinking about your husband and let's eat. After a few hours, you are going to be with him forever, so spend this time with your parents." Embarrassed on being caught, Jinjing could only look down and gobble her breakfast.
Today Mama Lee had prepared everything on her own, she did not want Jinjing to work today. That she would have to do anyways later. She wanted her to relax and enjoy her singlehood for the last few hours.
Soon, the trio cleared up and after getting dressed up, they headed for the marriage registration bureau. Jinjing had to switch her phone off since after breakfast. Liang had been calling her after every few minutes. She did not detest that, but she did not want to repeat the breakfast scene again, where her mother had to remind her to focus on them.
Jinjing thought, 'I will make it up to him tonight.'
