”Are you going to divorce me?”
After pondering for a long time, Chen Xiyang suddenly said these words, his tone still as gentle as ever.
An Hao's heart started to thump wildly. Her body was shaking more and more, and she did not understand why she was suddenly so afraid. The more gentle his tone was, the more she felt afraid.
She pursed her lips and did not say anything, but Chen Xiyang chuckled: ”Alright, I'll go look for you now. Are you waiting for me in Grandma's sickroom?”
”I'll wait for you at the flowerbed downstairs.”
”Alright, I'll be there soon. You wait for me.”
After hanging up, An Hao took out a down jacket from the cupboard and put it on, then took out the scarf Grandma had knitted for her last year and wrapped around her neck. After feeling that it would not be cold anymore, she stood beside the bed and looked at her grandmother's sleeping appearance.
In just a month, Grandmother had already become so skinny that it was really painful to look at her.
An Hao extended his hand to feel her pulse. After confirming that it was still beating vigorously, she let out a light breath and softly murmured, ”Grandmother, I'm going out to take a look now … to go and talk to Shiyan... The matter of the divorce … ”
She pursed her lips. She lowered her head like a child who had made a mistake. ”We've only been married for a few months, and now we're getting divorced. I wonder if you'll support me, and if you'll blame me when I wake up …”
She fell silent and looked at her grandma's eyes that were starting to shine. She bent over and hugged her grandma, acting like she was a spoiled child in her grandma's arms as she mumbled, ”Grandmother, I'm only family now. Can you wake up quickly?” Otherwise, I wouldn't even know where my home is. ”
It was still snowing heavily outside, so there were almost no pedestrians in the garden below the hospital. They were probably hiding in their wards due to the cold weather.
An Hao stepped on a thick layer of snow and arrived at the side of the flower bed. It was already winter, and the flower bed was already completely empty.
An Hao let out a light sigh and shrunk his chin into his scarf. Feeling a little bored, he began to pace back and forth, lowering his head and watching himself leave circles of footprints on the snow-white snow.
Just as she was about to successfully step on this heart formed from footprints, a familiar voice came from behind her. ”Are you stepping on my heart again?”
An Hao turned his head around and saw Chen Xiyang wearing a camel's fur coat and a black scarf. A wind blew past and messed up his soft hair.
He looked at her with a gentle smile on his face. ”I remember that winter when we first met, you also stepped on the snow and made two heart-shaped shapes, saying that one was me and the other was you. Then you drew a Cupid, saying that its arrow had pierced two hearts and that we would never be able to separate again.”
An Hao pursed her lips and looked at him, unable to say a single word. Back then, she loved this person so much that she couldn't wait to do all the romantic things for him.
An Hao smiled bitterly, ”I also remember that you told me at that time that this Cupid's love is not allowed. Not only did he disappear when the wind blew, even his two hearts have been blown away and are nowhere to be found.”
Chen Xiyang walked towards her and said with a smile, ”But they weren't blown away. They have been hidden in my heart this whole time.”
An Hao suddenly wanted to cry. When she was chasing him, and even during her four years of being in love with him, she had always wanted to hear some sweet words from Chen Xiyang. Even if it was just 'I love you', Chen Xiyang had never said it to her.
Now that she had decided to divorce him, he actually began to speak sweetly to her.
