Roxy could see through Xin Yi's feigned nonchalance, but she didn't call him out on it. With a bittersweet smile, she asked, "I slept in your bed, so where will you sleep?"
"Oh, I was sleeping in the living room. I had already fallen asleep when I heard you say you were thirsty and wanted water. I was worried you might accidentally pour it up your nose while half-asleep, so I came in to check," Xin Yi teased. "Alright, I'm going to rest now; I'm exhausted." He turned and walked toward the door, pretending to yawn.
"Why don't you sleep here too?" Roxy suddenly suggested.
"Ah? What?" Xin Yi instinctively replied. Although he clearly heard Roxy's words, he couldn't believe she would say something so direct.
"I mean, you can sleep here," Roxy said, her face turning red. She continued to explain, "This bed is big enough. Besides, sleeping on the sofa isn't comfortable... You can bring the blanket in; we can each have our own blanket... Don't worry, I sleep very honestly and won't take up much space." Clearly, Roxy was unaware that she had also made the sofa dirty. If she knew Xin Yi was sleeping on the floor, her reaction might have been even more pronounced.
Xin Yi thought to himself that while Roxy might sleep honestly, he certainly did not. The real issue was that sharing a bed with such an alluring woman would make it impossible for him to sleep. Any man would struggle to sleep next to someone so tempting. Xin Yi knew that if he tried to come up with another excuse, Roxy wouldn't believe him anyway, so he decided to be honest: "Hehe, I'm afraid that with a beauty like you sharing a bed with me, I wouldn't be able to behave myself. I think I'll just go sleep outside."
"What would happen if you can't behave?" Roxy said ambiguously, her face flushing again. However, despite her embarrassment, her tone remained firm as she continued, "What do I care? After all... you've already seen me; tonight has already... Just come to bed." As she spoke, Roxy shifted her body further into the bed, making room for Xin Yi.
To be honest, Roxy's suggestion was quite tempting. Xin Yi almost agreed to her request; just the thought of sharing a bed with such a beautiful woman could make many men excited. The idea of accidentally touching or brushing against each other while sleeping was an enticing prospect—an ultimate enjoyment. If things progressed further and they engaged in some intimate activities, it would feel like a life well-lived. However, this very thought scared him; ultimately, he had the desire but lacked the courage. How could he have been so righteous when he secretly looked at her body earlier? Perhaps this should be considered false modesty? In the end, Xin Yi still did not agree to Roxy's tempting offer and returned to the living room floor like a proper gentleman, although he regretted it as soon as he stepped out of the room.
That night was destined to be sleepless for both of them. Xin Yi counted sheep until he felt like a sheep farmer; after countless ewes gave birth to lambs in his mind, he still couldn't fall asleep. As for Roxy in the room, she was no different. She had hoped for Xin Yi to stay and share a bed with her but also wished for him to refuse her—her feelings were contradictory. She wanted him to stay as proof of her attractiveness; if he stayed, it would show that he couldn't resist her charm like other men. Yet she also hoped he'd refuse because she wanted him to respect her—she didn't want him with her just for physical reasons. So whether Xin Yi stayed or left was a dilemma for her.
Compared to Xin Yi, Roxy's thoughts were more complex and tangled. It wasn't until dawn began to break that she finally fell into a light sleep again. A knock on the door startled Roxy awake; then she heard Xin Yi talking with Garon. She quickly tidied herself up and stepped out of the room. It turned out Mr. Garon had come to deliver their relevant documents. Of course, these documents were all forged overnight by Garon—identity cards, property deeds, business licenses—and even their marriage certificate. Garon even brought a large wedding photo of Xin Yi and Roxy for them to hang in the living room. Garon had forged Xin Yi's identity as the boss of a small import-export trading company in Abayir that specialized in small retail goods—a type of business that was abundant in Abayir but only dealt with trivial items like bracelets, razors, toilet paper, lighters, etc. The military monopolized any significant import-export trade involving products influential in Taiwan. Meanwhile, Roxy was identified as Xin Yi's wife of two years; they ran a small business just enough to make ends meet while living in an ordinary residential area of Abayir.
After seeing Mr. Garon off, Roxy eagerly flipped through the documents and couldn't help but smile when she saw their marriage certificate. Finally, she personally hung their wedding photo on the living room wall and admired it with squinted eyes while nodding occasionally—her expression clearly showed satisfaction with how well-matched the couple looked in the photo. Meanwhile, Xin Yi had no idea what Roxy was doing; he was busy making porridge in the kitchen. Given how poorly Roxy had felt after throwing up last night, it was clear she wouldn't feel well today either; that's why Xin Yi got up early—though it should be noted that he hardly slept at all last night. After counting sheep until dawn broke naturally came around.
After tossing out everything Roxy had dirtied last night into the washing machine and starting it up to clean and dry them off, he made some vegetable porridge just as Garon arrived. After sending Garon away, he returned to the kitchen to continue cooking his vegetable porridge.
By the time Xin Yi brought out the vegetable porridge he'd prepared, Roxy had already hung up their wedding photo in the living room. Seeing him come out excitedly called out: "Xin Yi! I didn't expect Garon's photography skills would be this good! Look at how handsome you look in this photo!"
"Well, this," Xin Yi pretended to examine the photo closely, trying to make a joke. After all, what happened last night was still a little embarrassing, and humor seemed like the best way to break the tension. So he deliberately said in a serious tone, "Actually, the guy in this picture isn't me at all.""What? It's not you?" Roxy chuckled, "Hoho hoho... If it's not you, who are you? How dare you talk about taking wedding photos with my aunt? I haven't even agreed to marry him yet! Let's see if I don't flatten him!"Xin Yi's heart skipped a beat, sensing something deeper in Roxy's words, though he couldn’t be sure. But since the joke had already started, he had no choice but to go along with it, so he said seriously: "Yes, you should beat that brat for daring to imitate me! But look at his eyebrows, eyes, nose, mouth, chin, ears, face shape, and figure ...Although it looks basically perfect, if you take a closer look at me, you can tell the difference between a genuine and a fake, right? " "Oh, I really didn't pay attention if you didn't tell me," Roxy I looked at Xin Yi in the photo and then at Xin Yi next to me and continued: "These eyebrows, these eyes... are really different... now I can finally see it through comparison, it turns out you It's a fake!" Roxy pointed at Xin Yi beside him and replied seriously. After holding it in for a long time, he couldn't help but giggle, as if he was very proud of his wit. Yes, the real person standing next to her has become a fake, but what does it matter? It can make the beauty smile and resolve the embarrassment. Not to mention it is a fake, so what if it is a defective or defective product? Xin Yi also laughed along with Roxy's laughter, but his smile was somewhat forced. In fact, Roxy is not the same. After what happened yesterday and last night, can the two of them still take it calmly? So for a sentence that was not funny, both of them seemed to be smiling happily, but was this smile happy? I'm afraid not. "Go and wash up and have some porridge. I made some vegetable porridge... Well, maybe I got a little angry from what I ate yesterday. I suddenly want to eat something light today. Do you mind?" Xin Yi said. "Ho ho, how could it be? Why would I dislike it when I can eat and drink for free? Although I don't like porridge, but having something to eat is better than not having to eat at all, right?" Roxy replied like this, and then nodded. He walked into the bathroom to wash up without looking back. Avoiding and pretending to be stupid are the ways two people choose together. I'm afraid they don't know why they do this. Maybe, this is what people often say, taking a step back will open up the world. Nutritious jokes that didn't make people laugh filled the house with seemingly happy laughter. After a breakfast like this, people who don't know will definitely envy this young couple who live in harmony. However, The embarrassment and bitterness behind the laughter can only be understood by the person involved. After breakfast, Xin Yi changed into a white shirt, black trousers, shiny leather shoes, a pair of black-framed plain glasses on her eyes, and a small leather bag under her arm. He looks like a Boss of a small company who is busy working all day long. He is going out for a walk. The main purpose is to go around Limin Group and learn about the situation of Limin Group on the spot. Because Since yesterday, Abayir has been conducting very strict checks on young women. In addition, Roxy is naturally beautiful, so Xin Yi persuaded Roxy to wait at home, but this time Roxy did not. Reluctantly, she sent Xin Yi out of the door and opened the door for him like a wife sending her husband off to work. Xin Yi was about to turn around and leave, but she saw Roxy sticking her head out from behind the door and shouting to him: "Be careful on the road and go home early!" Xin Yi was stunned for a moment and turned around, only to see that Roxy had already retracted her head with a flushed face. What a familiar and warm sentence. Isn't this what I am pursuing? Are you a happy and warm little life? My wife’s earnest advice before going to work every day. I come home from work every day to a warm room and delicious home-cooked meals. It’s ordinary but it’s real happiness. Xin Yi suddenly feels a little bit I was in a daze and replied smoothly: "Yes, I will. I will go home when things are done. You should be careful at home." After saying this, I felt that there was something wrong with what I said, but it didn't seem to be anything wrong. It was abnormal, so he turned around and added: "I'm leaving!" "Yeah." Roxy behind the door responded in a low voice, but Xin Yi didn't hear this sound, and luckily he didn't hear it. , because this word sounds to everyone like the answer of a submissive little wife to her beloved husband. Even Roxy herself did not expect such a sound. Maybe she is quite satisfied with the present. With this kind of lifestyle, she unknowingly put herself into this environment and truly regarded herself as the wife of Xin Yi. In her ideal or in her subconscious, she was the same as Xin Yi. Think of this ordinary life as the greatest happiness you should pursue in your life. Two people who are destined not to be ordinary, but even having such ordinary happiness has become a luxury. This is probably a kind of sadness of being extraordinary people. Who dares to say that ordinary life is unhappy? In fact, on the contrary, an ordinary life is the most real happiness. At least, it can be seen and touched.
