Jiang Yin and Qin Xian have had another, another, another fight.
That night, he dreamed that he was nothing more than a vicious cannon-fodder character in a novel.
In the book, he was obsessed with the male lead, and his all-consuming love eventually landed him in the hospital. But the male lead had been hiding the fact that he had a moonlight in his heart.
Jiang Yin was so enraged that he woke with a start. Sure enough, he found the male lead Qin Xian's diary on the bedside table.
It described in detail just how deeply Qin Xian loved his moonlight, and how long he had been plotting it. Jiang Yin: ...That bastard Qin Xian actually has a moonlight! What the hell!
To hell with the male lead, to hell with fighting, to hell with his moonlight! He was going to fly free! Eat whatever he wanted and enjoy every bite! Let that bastard Qin Xian and his moonlight go eat shit!
After seeing Qin Xian's true colors, Jiang Yin gave up and stopped trying!
Whoever cared about cleaning the house could do it. If Qin Xian wanted a meal, he could cook it himself. Jiang Yin certainly wasn't going to!
The house belonged to both of them, so Jiang Yin wasn't moving out and letting Qin Xian and his moonlight have it!
And they were sleeping in separate rooms! The master bedroom was his, and Qin Xian could sleep in the study!
Qin Xian came home, hung up his coat, and paused when he saw the empty dining table and kitchen.
Jiang Yin had given the housekeeper a month off and was so angry he'd forgotten to eat. As he headed downstairs to find something to eat, he heard water running in the kitchen.
Then he saw Qin Xian walk out with his sleeves rolled up to his elbows and an apron on. He looked up at Jiang Yin and said gently, indulgently, "Yinyin, dinner's ready."
Jiang Yin: ...He must feel guilty.
That night, when Qin Xian was getting ready for bed, he found that he couldn't open the bedroom door no matter what he tried. Jiang Yin shouted from inside, "You know exactly what you've done! We're sleeping in separate rooms! Don't even think about coming in here again. Go sleep in the study!"
There was no sound from outside. A few minutes later, footsteps walked away.
Jiang Yin: Qin Xian, you absolute bastard. So all that love for me was fake! You can't even face me now, can you?
After learning that Qin Xian had a moonlight, Jiang Yin uncovered even more evidence.
At the very back of Qin Xian's wardrobe, he found a boy's school uniform, folded neatly. The important thing was, it wasn't Qin Xian's size!
He also found a ring box in the storage cabinet. The receipt showed that it had been purchased before they met!
And one night, he even discovered that Qin Xian had taken care of things by himself in the bathroom!
So he really didn't love him anymore, huh?
His moonlight had been around since high school, and the bastard had even prepared a ring!
Then one day, Jiang Yin stumbled upon a scrapbook Qin Xian had hidden away and refused to show him.
He opened it, seething with indignation, and froze.
The person in the photos looked so familiar. W-wasn't that him, back in high school?!
He and Qin Xian hadn't started dating until college, and hadn't married until after graduation. How could that bastard Qin Xian have photos of him from high school?!
-
That night, Qin Xian thought things over and decided that his long-term plotting to win Jiang Yin over had indeed frightened him, so he would swallow his pride and apologize.
He knocked on the door. From inside came the sound of a box falling to the floor.
Jiang Yin's trembling voice came through the door: "Honey, um, I think you're not quite up to it, so I want you to take good care of yourself for a while."
Qin Xian: "..."
#Turns out my husband's moonlight is me#
#After learning the truth, I couldn't even get out of bed#
Core message: Treasure what you have now. Don't wait until it's gone to regret it.
