Ming Rui knows that Bai Ze'en gets jealous easily, but she never expected him to get even more jealous after they married.
Before bed, Bai Ze'en snuggled into her arms and complained in a sulky voice that he was in pain.
“Wife, my ear hurts.”
Ming Rui looked up and saw that he had gotten another piercing.
The ear that already had two now had an additional cartilage stud.
Ming Rui said, “Didn't you say you'd stop after getting two?”
Bai Ze'en held her tighter and nuzzled her neck. “That was last time. This time is different.”
His way of acting spoiled was getting more and more impressive. Ming Rui took a swab with iodine to disinfect the piercing. “How is it different?”
“That guy you seemed to have a crush on in college only had two.”
Ming Rui was speechless. “I was just spacing out in class.”
○ Every day's story takes place before bed.
