The room fell into silence.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhao Junyao sighed, walked up, and tightly embraced her in his arms.
"Stop saying foolish things!"
"We have to leave!"
Xia Ruqing looked up at him with tears in her eyes.
"Why?"
Zhao Junyao wiped her tears with disdain as he spoke calmly.
"Because it's the thought that's been in your heart all your life!"
"Because now is not the past, and we can't go back..."
Xia Ruqing stopped her tears, lowered her head in silence, and after a while, nodded.
"Alright then!"
"I was just being impulsive, can I stop talking about it?"
Zhao Junyao cast her an annoyed look.
"You're already an old lady, still acting like a spoiled child; how embarrassing if someone sees it?"
Xia Ruqing pouted and wriggled out of his arms.
"Hmph! There's no one around anyway!"
"And even if there was, what's wrong with acting spoiled in front of my own husband? Is it shameful?"
