Soon afterwards, Lan Mu sent her a message asking, "Why did you hang up?"
Yan Zao: "I need to get up and go to work."
Lan Mu: "Eat more, once the old man is back, I'm closing that crappy store for you."
Yan Zao didn't immediately reply to his message. She leaned against the headboard, clutching her phone. Lan Mu didn't send her any more videos or calls.
She felt a wave of discomfort in her heart, a sense of loss.
This is probably... what they call acting out.
In the past, when she saw other couples fighting, she always thought those women were being melodramatic, making a big deal out of nothing. Now that it was happening to her, she could understand.
She just wanted to be cherished and cared for by the person she liked, wanted him to sweet-talk and coax her.
It turns out... Yan Zao was not some exception, she was just like the majority of women.
