When night fell, the exhausted Xiue curled up in Zhang Xiaoshan's arms like a docile kitten.
"Little Shan, can you really stay with me overnight tonight?"
Xiue asked incredulously.
Despite being older than Zhang Xiaoshan and already having been married, her emotional history was incredibly simple.
After graduating from junior technical school, her family forced her to marry her current husband. She had met him only a few times before their marriage. Not long after their wedding, her husband cheated on her and was transferred to the town by his lover, leading to their separation. It's no exaggeration to say that Zhang Xiaoshan was Xiue's first love.
It was Zhang Xiaoshan who let Xiue taste what it was to be a woman, who made her understand what it feels like to have sleepless nights, alone with her thoughts.
Lying in Zhang Xiaoshan's arms felt incredibly safe.
"Of course, Sister Xiue, whenever I get a chance, I'll come to see you at night."
