This was the first time Xie Limo smiled after going to Gui County. He had been very tensed all along, so when he heard his wife’s voice, he managed to relax.

She was the warmth he missed in his heart.

Yun Bixue pursed her lips and replied, “Is that all you’re going to say?”

Xie Limo could not help but smile. A flicker of light flashed across his exquisite eyes as he asked in a gentle voice, “Hmm? Then what do you want to hear?”

Yun Bixue hesitated for a while before she replied shyly, “Like, I miss you, I love you, or you’re the best... things like that.”

Xie Limo listened seriously and nodded. “Yeah, I heard them all.”

Yun Bixue was a little stunned. She paused for a while before she replied, “No, you’re supposed to say that to me. I didn’t say that to you.”

“Alright. You didn’t say that to me. I’m supposed to say that to you.”

“That’s much better.” Listening to his voice made her feel really warm. The loneliness she had been feeling in her heart ever since he left disappeared as well. How much had she missed him!

After a moment of silence, Xie Limo’s voice sounded from the other end of the phone. “Xue, I missed you.”

The moment he said these words, the tears that Yun Bixue had been holding back flooded out at once, like water released from a dam. It was unstoppable.

“I... I miss you too...”

“Silly, why are you crying?” Xie Limo’s voice was filled with tenderness, heartache, and helplessness.

Yun Bixue wiped her tears and said, “I should be strong, but I really can’t help it this time.” The moment he said he missed her, it touched the most tender chord in her heart.

“Don’t cry anymore. If you cry, my heart will ache for you.” At this moment, Xie Limo could only imagine how she looked like from the other end of the phone. He really wanted to hug her in his arms and shower his love on her. He wanted to wipe away her tears and comfort her sorrows away. However, he felt a little helpless now because there was nothing he could do.

Yun Bixue could hear a hint of reproach in Xie Limo’s voice, so she immediately wiped her tears away and sniffed before saying, “Limo, I’m fine. I was only feeling a little emotional. You know me, I will be fine after letting it out.”

“Okay, your eyes must be red from crying. Before you go to sleep tonight, place some cold compress over your eyes, or else it will turn puffy the next day.”

When she heard his concerned voice again, Yun Bixue’s heart melted. She smiled and said, “I know. There’s a layer of snow on the balcony now. I can use that instead.”

“It’s snowing in the capital now?”

“Yeah, it’s snowing now. It has been snowing for a few days. Actually, it snowed on the day you left, when I was in the mall. The snow was on and off, but it covered the roads outside. I bought all my clothes already then, but seeing that it was snowing, I bought some down jackets. I bought a brown one for you, but not sure if you will like it... Also, it snowed really early this year. It’s not even time for heat to be provided. However, I saw on the news that heat will be provided earlier this year. It will probably be available after two days... Oh right, Limo, we have to go to the property department to pay for our heating costs too, right?”

Yun Bixue felt that she had a lot to say, just like how they talked about ordinary life. They had not seen each other for a few days, so it was as if she had saved up her words for this.

Xie Limo listened quietly. Hearing her voice and how she talked about the things at home and in the capital made his expression gentler.

Yun Bixue did not realize it, but she talked a lot. When she stopped, she asked him, “Why aren’t you saying anything?”

Xie Limo replied tenderly, “I’m listening to you, and I don’t want to interrupt your thoughts. But you asked me a lot of things, so I don’t know which one I should reply to first.”
