I Want To Move In Next Door

…

After hanging up the phone, Xia Wan'an stared incredulously at the call log on her mobile phone for quite a while, only then certain that it really was Han Jingnian who had called her.

He said, he could marry her… he actually agreed to marry her… but… he flatly refused earlier in the afternoon, it had only been a few hours, how could he have suddenly changed his mind?

Despite Xia Wan'an's bewilderment, a trace of joy, which she could not restrain, climbed onto her face.

From the very first time she saw him, she had always been waiting for an opportunity to get closer. After waiting for six years, almost two thousand days and nights, she finally got that chance...

Yes, she liked him, truly, deeply wanted him.

The day she saw him, only three words were in her heart: for a lifetime.

He was the one she recognized and wanted at once, for a lifetime.

But...

The sparks of joy in Xia Wan'an's eyes faded away after a while.

Yes, he agreed to marry her… but he also said something else…

He said, "I don't want to have too much intersection with you. This marriage is just a deal as you said, a marriage in name only."

He also mentioned, he hopes that she could keep her word, not to affect his life, not to cause him any troubles, and if possible, not to let irrelevant people know about their relationship.

…

Two years later.

Today, Xia Wan'an had to work overtime and didn't get home until 10 p.m. As she opened the door, she was greeted by the familiar scene of darkness and silence.

Without exaggeration, this is the scene she comes home to 360 days of the year, and yet each time she faces this quiet darkness, she can't help feeling a little lost.

Han Jingnian... he had not come home again...

Xia Wan'an stood at the door for a moment, then turned on the light, stepped into the room to change her shoes, and as usual, did her pre-sleep yoga alone in the empty room, took a bath, a skincare routine, and then got into bed to sleep.

In the deep of the night, as Xia Wan'an was sound asleep, she woke up abruptly from her dream in an instant. Even before opening her eyes, from the faint scent, she knew it was Han Jingnian.

She startled and then immediately opened her eyes, "You're back?"
