On the way back, Su Yi was confused: "Did I really never write you a letter?"

Xu Ruoxing didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Really not."

She and Su Yi had only known each other for two or three years, let alone writing letters, they hadn't even sent many messages, so how could she not remember? Su Yi was surprised: "That's impossible."

She said, “I must have written it.”

With such a firm tone, Xu Ruoxing held the steering wheel with her hands, exerting force on her joints. The starry sky watch with a light blue strap had a reflection inside the watch, which was reflected on Xu Ruoxing's jaw. She called out, "Su Yi."

Su Yi hummed softly and turned her head to look at Xu Ruoxing.

Xu Ruoxing said: "Is it possible that you wrote it for someone else?"

Su Yi immediately said, "That's impossible. How could I write to someone else?"

Xu Ruoxing probed: "Maybe, it's someone you liked before?"

It wasn't that hard to say it, it was just a pain in the tip of my heart, as if someone had twisted it for no reason. The pain made Xu Ruoxing hold the steering wheel tightly and tense her body.

Su Yi chuckled: "The one I liked before?"

"I've only liked you, where did the others come from?" Su Yi was still thinking seriously about the letter: "Wife, think about it carefully..."

"You should think about it carefully." Xu Ruoxing said: "Su Yi, you should think about it carefully."

"What are you thinking about?" Su Yi was puzzled. She turned her head and looked at Xu Ruoxing. There was no light in the car, only the mottled street lights shining in through the gaps in the car window. She smiled suddenly: "Wife, are you jealous?"

Xu Ruoxing was speechless.

The car was quiet. Su Yi said, "Wife, you are so cute." After she finished speaking, she pinched Xu Ruoxing's cheek, leaned over, and said, "Okay, even if I liked someone before, but I'm married to you now, which means that the one I like now is you."

After she said that, she rubbed Xu Ruoxing's cheek and hugged Xu Ruoxing's right arm with both hands. If it weren't for the seat belt, half of her body would have been hanging up.

Xu Ruoxing's eyes dimmed after hearing her words. She felt the warmth from Su Yi on her arm. In her peripheral vision, she saw Su Yi's profile, with long eyelashes, light-colored pupils, a straight nose, and thin lips.

When she opens her mouth, her lips are red and her teeth are white.

There was also a faint scent of morning flowers around her, permeating every pore and lingering around her. She could still smell it even when she closed her eyes.

Just like now.

When I closed my eyes, my mind was full of Su Yi.

Xu Ruoxing was almost persuaded by Su Yi.

Just a little bit.

Su Yi let her go.

She sat in the passenger seat, fiddling with her phone, and didn't talk to Xu Ruoxing until she got out of the car. Xu Ruoxing said, "We're home."

Su Yi looked up at her, got off the car and followed her into the elevator, still holding the phone, muttering quietly. Xu Ruoxing was curious: "What are you looking at?"

"The official website where I send letters." Su Yi said, "I want to see if I have written to you."

I'm still thinking about this. If I don't send it to her, will it...

Xu Ruoxing's expression changed slightly. She looked at Su Yi and her voice suddenly became a little nervous: "Did you find out?"

"I checked the records for the past two years." Su Yi said, "No."

Xu Ruoxing asked: "Nothing?"

Su Yi looked at her: "I have never written to you."

She sounded unhappy, as if she felt guilty for not writing to Xu Ruoxing. Xu Ruoxing's hands dropped to her side. In her peripheral vision, she saw Su Yi's frustrated look. She said in a tense voice, "Then, is there anything else?"
