"Am I dreaming?", Meixiu asked herself repeatedly before she heard someone answered her.
"No you're not."
That voice sent her creep and chills, she keep on begging the man to stop. She is now coughing aggressively due to the weight this man is putting against her neck. She is paddling her hands and feet but she can do nothing to win over the guy.
"Wu Meixiu?", the man called her.
"What did you call me just now?", she asked after the guy stopped constricting her neck.
She then received a slap on her flawless face. Her tears suddenly fell down from her face, feeling her cheek is burning. She is disturbed by the name hd called her. Wu Meixiu? Is that what he called her? How did he know about her real identity? And why does he seem so disappointed?
"I just found out who you are."
She just looked at him heading the stairs. She held her neck and wondered why it's wet. She rushed to the shower and turned on the lights.
"Why is my neck bleeding? I don't have any cut."
She kept touching her neck, looking for an open wound but she failed. "Isn't it Chaoxiang who's bleeding?"
She searched the medicine kit in Chaoxiang's house and saw it above the sink. After getting some gauges, she ran upstairs, seeing Chaoxiang on his bed sleeping. Her heart's beating faster with her every step getting closer to him. "Who would've thought I will have the chance to see you this close?", she said to herself.

She turned the lampshade on that was beside Chaoxiang. She saw his hands are bleeding. She folded her sleeves until it reaches above her elbows, revealing the scars in her both wrists that she really want to forget.
She admits that after she felt Chaoxiang is pressing her neck, putting so much weight in it that she ended up choking, she remembered something from her past. And with him calling her as a Wu after that disturbed her so much. She's trying to escape her past, she doesn't want to reconnect with them, even with her twin sister.
"I'll wrap your wound with a gauge. Don't worry, I don't need you to wake up.", she whispered and he held his right hand.
"His hands are so soft.", she thought while she is wiping all the blood from his hands. His fingers are long, his middle ones are about to reach 11 centimeters. "Oh the wounds are in his knuckles. I should be very careful.", she said.
After about three minutes of cleaning the wounds, she is now wrapping them with the gauge when he saw eyes opened and his amber eyes were glued on them and he held her left wrist and twisted it.
"Hey, I am not doing anything bad. I am just cleaning your wounds.", she twitches in pain.
"What's with your scars?", he asked her and she just shook her head, shutting her hazel eyes close.
She can even smell the liquor he had, which cause her head to revolve.
"It's nothing. You go back to sleep.", she said and stood up.
Her husband automatically let go of her hand and she walked out of the room. From a distance, she can see her phone lighting up. "Someone's calling me? At this hour?", she ran towards her phone and saw Ruomei calling her. "Why is she calling?"
"Hey, have I disturbed your honey moon?", she teased her and her face turned red.
"No, what is it Ruomei?"
"Let's have an in-laws' date tomorrow.", she said over the other line.
"Oh okay."
"Go get back to your honey moon. Enjoy the rest of the night. Have fun.", she immediately ended the call.
"It's 3 AM already?", she threw her phone on the couch and headed the kitchen.
"I guess, I'll prepare Chaoxiang's breakfast then.", she said.
