"Don"t cry," He Ling was distressed. He kissed Gong Qin, said his name, and told him: “I don"t like another man. How can I like another man, I only love you. In this life, no, in every life, I love only you alone."

He Ling kept blaming himself: "It"s my fault, I"m such an a.s.shole. How could I say that, how could I divorce you like that? It"s absolutely impossible. Even if you break my leg, kick me out, and I have to crawl…"

Before He Ling could finish, Gong Qin kissed him hard.

This was the first time Gong Qin took an initiative to kiss him outside.

He Ling could taste his tears and felt his lips trembling with fear, so much it made him understand Gong Qin"s despairing and crumbling heart.

He had never seen this kind of Gong Qin who had lost his self-control.

He vowed that he would never want to see this kind of Gong Qin again for the rest of his life.

He Ling hugged Gong Qin and kissed him back gently.

"I love you, I love you, I love you…"

These three repeated words, just like a tranquilizer, miraculously pacified Gong Qin.

When they returned to the house, as soon as the door closed, Gong Qin kissed him.

He Ling"s heart had softened completely: “I"ll get the hot water ready, else you"ll catch a cold.”

Gong Qin hugged him stubbornly and refused to let go. His voice was slightly hoa.r.s.e as he said on He Ling"s ear, "Right here… I want to…"

These words were like a fire which directly burned He Ling"s reasons to the ground.

They both skipped work the next day.

Gong Qin slept until afternoon, but when he woke up, there was no one beside him. He sat up absurdly, his eyes were filled with worries, he smelled the nasty taste of ginseng soup.

Gong Qin relaxed at once, only felt that the tip of his nose was a little sour.

He Ling came in and carefully blew on the porcelain bowl, saying: “I know you don"t like drinking it, but you were out in the cold for so long last night… Hm, why don"t you have a sip? I"ve been boiling it all morning."

Gong Qin looked at him and paused.

He Ling sat by the bed and said, “Come here, let husband feed you."

“I… you… ” Gong Qin closed his eyes.

He Ling was dumbfounded…

Gong Qin bit his lower lip. His cheeks turned red and his tone was so stiff, but he persevered, "I… love you."

With a "bang", the bowl fell to the ground and the content was spilled all over the rug.

Gong Qin opened his eyes and watched his favorite hand-made rug was soaked in the ginseng soup he loathed the most!

He Ling couldn"t be bothered with that, he walked slowly to the bed and hugged Gong Qin. “Say it again one more time.”

Gong Qin: “….”

He Ling hurriedly added: "No need to say it! Once a day is enough! I"ll make a reservation for tomorrow, no… for the rest of my life!"

After seven years of marriage, Gong Qin and He Ling finally talked openly with one another.

Gong Qin asked why He Ling had suddenly alienated him.

He Ling told Gong Qin what he had heard that day and asked him, “Why did you say "I don"t care"?"

Gong Qin was stunned for a moment and said, “Does it matter if I care? If you don"t love me, I…" don"t know what else I can do.

In fact, "I don"t care" was the most helpless answer.

He Ling hugged him and said, “I was wrong, I was wrong. I am the biggest fool under heaven!”

Gong Qin asked, “Don"t tell me, all this time, you thought I didn"t love you?"

He Ling"s face felt somehow warm: "You"ve never said it before."

Gong Qin said: “I said it when we took our oath on the day of our marriage. Every word I had said back then, I truly meant every single one of them."

He Ling froze.

Marriage oath was solemn, but it was the easiest to overlook.

Gong Qin, from the moment they got married, had already made an oath for a lifetime.

This was the most powerful oath, much more powerful than numerous "I love you"s.

Because Gong Qin promised him everything in this life; including his love, his whole person, his entire life.

But He Ling, in spite of everything, had ignored it.

Gong Qin then said: “In the future, don"t kiss me in the morning and don"t come to find me at noon.”

He Ling"s heart grew cold. If this was his punishment for being an idiot, it would be extremely unbearable.

Gong Qin continued: "In the morning, I"ll kiss you, and, and then, before going out, you"ll kiss me. At noon, I"ll look for you to have a meal. In the evening, okay… In the afternoon, come and see me if you are free."

He Ling: “!”

This kind of roller-coaster feeling, his heart couldn"t stand it.

Since Gong Qin had never said such a thing, he kept stumbling from time to time: "I was wrong before, you always took the initiative, I…"

He Ling hugged him, he could no longer listen to Gong Qin. He smiled and felt as if he would fly to heaven.

"You don"t have to take the initiative, because…" He Ling finally understood that in the past, it wasn"t that Gong Qin didn"t take the initiative, it was more that he didn"t have an opportunity to take the initiative.

He Ling hugged him and said: "Because from now on, I will not give you an opportunity to take the initiative."

They"re finally starting to open up with one another for real… I"m happy for them UwU

The 3rd story will start next week!
