The red book was in hand, and before the heat had dissipated, Lu Chenzhou and I were already sitting in the car, with enough distance between us for one more person to sit.
"Three clauses in the agreement," I held the marriage certificate, my fingertips turned white, and tried to make my voice sound as business-like as his. "First, we will not interfere in each other's private lives; second, we will cooperate in acting when necessary; third..." I paused and looked at his cold profile, "Sleep in separate rooms."
Lu Chenzhou's eyes fell forward, his Adam's apple moved slightly, and he only replied with one word: "Yeah."
I thought there was a consensus. It wasn't until the first night I moved into his apartment that I came out of the shower and saw the nemesis I hated so much in the mall, leaning against the door frame of my bedroom with a gray pillow in his arms. The warm yellow corridor lamp gave his stern eyebrows a soft light, but the words he spoke made me freeze instantly.
"I recognize the bed." His tone was as calm as if he was discussing the weather. He took a long step and walked in very naturally. "The layout of your room is most similar to the master bedroom of my house."
