Buried her face in its warm fur, nuzzling affectionately, An Ruo held him and refused to let go.
"Baby, quickly help me take off the head, I’m about to suffocate," Tang Yuchen suddenly said.
Only then did she let him go, hurrying to help him remove the large bear head and then take off the bear’s body.
Because he had been stuffy inside for a while, Tang Yuchen’s forehead was beaded with sweat, dampening the hair on his forehead. His bright eyes looked at her, filled with countless thoughts of longing.
An Ruo gazed at him, infatuated, noticing that he had lost weight and also gotten a bit tanner.
She raised her hand to touch his deeply contoured face, smiling as she asked him, "How come you suddenly came back?"
The man caught her hand, kissed it by his lips, "I missed you too much, and I missed the dumplings you make for me."
So, he had traveled thousands of miles just to come back and eat the dumplings she made?
An Ruo suddenly felt her eyes redden, she tiptoed, cupped his face, and gently kissed his lips. The man wrapped his arms around her body, immediately taking the initiative, kissing her deeply, his tongue nearly reaching down her throat.
Having not seen each other for a month, they missed each other so dearly, now holding each other tightly, kissing, almost wishing to meld the other into their own flesh and blood.
The passionate kiss lasted a while, and Tang Yuchen slowly released An Ruo, her breath short, her fair little face flushed with pink.
A whiff of fragrance suddenly wafted over, the man sniffed, smiling and said, "I smell the aroma of food."
"Come." An Ruo led him into the dining room, he saw the table full of dishes, and suddenly felt very moved, very warm inside.
He liked this feeling, that when he came home, someone had prepared a lavish meal for him, liked this feeling of home.
An Ruo pulled him to sit down, placed the dumplings in front of him, and also handed him chopsticks.
"The dumplings are still hot, eat up. After you’re finished, go take a shower and rest for a bit."
"Let’s eat together," Tang Yuchen picked up a dumpling, bringing it to her mouth.
An Ruo opened her mouth, ate it, he also ate one, then fed her another. They alternately fed each other, after dumplings, they ate vegetables, and even had cake.
Eventually, they were both stuffed.
Tang Yuchen didn’t mention when he would leave, and An Ruo didn’t ask.
He took a shower, then pulled her to rest with him.
Lying quietly in bed, An Ruo turned her head to look at him, feeling no sleepiness. Tang Yuchen, perhaps exhausted, chatted with her for a while, then fell into a deep sleep.
She gazed at him deeply, her love for him seemed to grow some more.
She was so happy he came back today, truly it was such a surprise, so unexpected.
He must love her too, otherwise, why would he come such a long way just for her?
After a while, unable to resist sleepiness, An Ruo also closed her eyes and fell asleep.
She didn’t know how long she slept, but she woke up groggily and stretched out her hand to feel the spot beside her, which was empty.
Startled awake, the bed was empty except for her, Tang Yuchen had already left.
An Ruo quickly got out of bed and left the bedroom, he wasn’t in the house, only Aunt Zhou was there.
"Aunt Zhou, where’s Tang Yuchen?" she asked anxiously.
Could it be that he left without saying goodbye again?
Aunt Zhou smiled and said, "The young master said he went to take care of some business, he’ll be back in a bit."
"Oh," An Ruo was reassured, as long as he hadn’t left, that was fine.
After about half an hour, he returned, and she immediately went up to him and wrapped her arms around his body, chiding, "I thought you had left again, if you leave without saying goodbye, I won’t let you off the hook."
