The room is not big and they are the only two in it. At the moment, being embraced by Yi Yunrui, Xia Ning blushes. She is so shy that she buries her head deep into his embrace.
“Ning.” Yi Yunrui opens his mouth, “We have been married for two months. Yes?”
“Hum.” Xia Ning nods.
“Do you think…I am qualified enough to be your husband?”
Xia Ning pauses. She does not understand what the question refers to. She lifts her head and looks at him in perplexity.
“I am thirty-three years old this year.” Looking at her eyes, Yi Yunrui seriously says, “I am a soldier and seldom come home. When I was twenty-five, my mother began to introduce girls to me constantly.
When mentioning this, Yi Yunrui pauses and Xia Ning’s heart aches unexpectedly.
“However, I hope you keep one thing in mind.” Yi Yunrui holds her more tightly, “In my lifetime, I will not get married except my wife is you.”
Hearing this, Xia Ning is shocked! She is moved, yet she is uncertain, “I don’t think I knew you before the marriage…”
“You did. You just don’t remember it.” While speaking, Yi Yunrui strokes her hairs gently, “In fact, we have known each other for a long time.”
It seems that Yi Yunrui keeps some other information in these words and leaves the listener with a lot of imagination. Xia Ning frowns and tries hard again to remember, “Can you honestly tell me when we got to know each other?”
His sharp eyes flash. Yi Yunrui moves his lips but swallows his words.
“Hum?” Xia Ning is puzzled. She asks again, “Rui, can you tell me the truth?”
“Eight years ago. You were studying at the University of Edinburgh and I was in The Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst.” Yi Yunrui strokes her hairs and says, with pity in his eyes, “We both studied in England. One time, I went out with my friends and met you. You were bringing a basket filled with big strawberries. You looked cute and attractive.”
Xia Ning blinks her eyes. The time of studying in England was her happiest period, because she had got Ou Yixuan with her. Except Ou Yixuan, other classmates were also nice. During those five years, she never felt lonely. All she had were happy laughs.
But eight years later, the days with Ou Yixuan in England became her nightmare…
Having noticed the sadness in her eyes, Yi Yunrui frowns slightly. He smooths her eyebrows with his long and strong fingers, “Don’t think of the unhappy things. Think of that you were carrying a basket of strawberries, while my friends and I were passing. If it is not because the car ran too fast and was far away, we would have gone to loot the strawberries.” Mentioning this, Yi Yunrui smiles, “Then I began to pay attention to you, Ning. From that time on, I kept inquiring about you and knew that you are studying at the University of Edinburgh and you liked Ou Yixuan.”
Yi Yunrui stops here. He signs, “Ning, I have been waiting long.”
Yes, that is a long time. Eight years, another eight years, and another eight…and longer…the time in England is just one of them, but he does not speak out, because he is worried…
