The broken pipes in the bathroom continuously dripped, adding to the large puddles covering the ground. As she walked towards the living room, Cen Si Miao glanced down at her soaked bedroom slippers slapping wetly on the ground.

Unlocking her phone, she dialled someone.

"Du du du..."

Despite it ringing for a while, nobody picked up. Licking her lips, she looked outside the window into the glaring sunlight. After she took the deep brown curtains in hand, the room darkened with a "shua" sound. The water had already risen to the point that her two feet were soaked in cold water, making Cen Si Miao frown.

Eyes filled with helplessness, she lowered her head. Sitting down on the sofa beside her, she hugged her thighs, fingers still scrolling on her phone.

On the screen was Wu Li Chen's personal page.

The profile picture showed half his face. His double eyelid was wide, and there was a stark contrast between the white and black of his eyes, making them look gentle, like a pair of peach eyes. His biography said that he was a male actor as Qing Yao Studio.

En, the top half of his face was really not bad.

She continued to scroll down.

'Really tired today ah ~~' The picture attached showed his arm supporting his chin as he appeared to doze off.

'Hurry up and compliment my looks! Otherwise I'll be upset ah!' Attached was another photo of the city nightscape.

Cen SI Miao's eyes narrowed and lips thinned. After clearing her throat, her shoulders slumped and she sighed. Just then, the phone rang.

'Husband calling.'

Almost immediately, her eyes reddened and her whole body seemed to weaken like a little white rabbit trapped in a cage. After a slide of her fingers, the phone was placed beside her ear and she sobbed softly.

"Hello?"

The person on the other side seemed annoyed, and she paused for a moment, seemingly unresponsive. Her breath picked up speed before she finally spoke. "Where are you, I'm too useless to do anything right."

The other side was somewhat suspicious. "Miao Miao?"

"En." She sniffled.

Hu Yinli was surprised. Normally she would never be like this, and had always relied on herself to solve her own problems; even when he'd barely been home for a year she'd been fine.

What exactly had happened today, to make her cry like this. Unconsciously, his voice became gentler. "What's wrong?"

The woman nestled in his embrace slowly trailed her fingertips across his chest and his eyes became hooded. Her arms tightened around his waist.

Hu Yinli felt his throat tighten up. As he listened to the phone, he was still being stroked, and his breathing started to get heavier.

Cen Si Miao's crying started getting louder. "I didn't take care of the house well, and the pipes broke. I found someone to fix it but he still hasn't come. Right now the house is filled with water, what should I do?"
