Chapter 2
The Adorable Chu Wu

***

Su Hang looked at Shen Xi's shocked expression and felt a touch of loss.

Yes, they just got married, but when an unfamiliar man suddenly appeared in your room at night, consternation and shock were normal reactions.

"It's been a long day, so you should go to bed early. I....I'll sleep in the guest room tonight." After saying this, Su Hang nodded to Shen Xi then turned away, leaving the bedroom. It seems that he had forgotten that this bedroom was rightly his' too, along with this new house.

It wasn't long after Su Hang left that Shen Xi finally seemed to have snapped out of her astonishment.

Boom!!

Shen Xi heard another thunderbolt, with its light passing through the heavy curtain a few moments after. The room's light-bulb couldn't help but flicker for a moment, the intense weather outside affecting it.

Shen Xi turned back to windows and peeked past the curtains, looking out at the dark clouds, blurred by the rain splattering against the window.　　

After a while, a determination flashed in Shen Xi's eyes. She pulled the floor-to-ceiling windows open, and rain immediately fell on her. Her first thought was that it was cold. Then she thought about it: Since she felt the cold, did it mean that she wasn't in a dream?

Shen Xi couldn't help but move forward a little more. She walked right up to the edge of the balcony and carefully stretched out her hand past the balcony roof, her palm up. The rain tonight was particularly heavy, as if the sky was leaking. The raindrops were caught by the strong wind and drenched her whole body.

"It's wet. My clothes are wet, and my hair is wet." Such a palpable sensation confused Shen Xi even more. Now she wondered, was it the wedding that was the dream, or was it the funeral?

Su Hang left his new bedroom and headed downstairs to the guest room. He had long considered this scenario before their wedding. Su Hang had already moved most of his personal belongings into the guest room, while the master bedroom only contained a small number of his things. He didn't want to make Shen Xi uncomfortable by his sudden intrusion, but he also wanted to let Shen Xi accept his presence little by little. Hence the small number of personal belongings in the master bedroom. 　

Su Hang took a shower in the adjoining bathroom, then changed into a set of pajamas from the wardrobe. Somewhat uncomfortable, he pressed his aching temples. Although the wedding was done in a hurry, it was a marriage between the Su and Shen families after all, so many guests still attended. Coupled with the fact that he was genuinely happy that he was marrying Shen Xi, he drank a few more drinks than necessary during the wedding banquet.

Enduring his dull headache, Su Hang went to the kitchen to find some water to drink.

Their new house was a two-person house bought by Su Hang a year ago. It wasn't very big and was a modest, two-story building. It had one living room and only six rooms in total. Four upstairs, two downstairs, and a small yard. There was a dog currently living in the yard. It was picked up from the roadside by Su Hang a long time ago, and he had been keeping this dog for several years already. Su Hang liked it a lot, but it was going to be sent away tomorrow. This was because.....Shen Xi was afraid of dogs.

Su Hang had just left the kitchen when he saw Shen Xi coming down the stairs. She had changed into a cream-colored casual dress, her long hair wet.

Su Hang quietly choked on his saliva as he looked at the approaching Shen Xi. After composing himself, with an expressionless face, he asked: "Did...did you come down for some water?"
