After being married for half a year, Zhou Jinyu treated me impeccably.
There are flowers for festivals, cars for going out, and he cares more about my parents' illness than me. He never comes home late and never quarrels with me.
It's as perfect as a program running.
I thought this was the norm in adult marriages—suitability is more important than love. Until that day at the class reunion, I received a crystal ball with "Qinghe" in it.
For the first time, he showed the look in his eyes that was waiting for me that night, and asked calmly: "Did anyone give you a gift?"
Later I found out that there was a pearl earring that I dropped three years ago hidden in the drawer of his study.

She calls him sir, and he gives her peace of mind.
Shen Qinghe thought that Zhou Jinyu chose her just because she was "suitable".
Until that Monet painting was hung in the living room, until late at night he called her "Qinghe" with a low smile, until he said in her ear at the most intimate moment——
"I saw you three times at that dinner party."
Only then did she understand that the love of some people is not the vigorous youth, but the deep affection as silent as the heat of the earth. He couldn't give her the madness of her youth, but he gave her a warmth that could withstand the rest of her life.
It just took her a long time to understand the thousands of words in his silence.
——
Adult love begins with rational calculation and ends with emotional sinking.
She thought she was the "just right" option.
Little did he know that in his deep sea of silence, she was already the only coordinate.
