If the Deep Sea Forgets You

Mo Han pulled out a chair and sat opposite of her. He looked at the half eaten sandwich in Xia Qingyi’s hand, “Where’s mine?”

“What?”

“My breakfast.”

“I didn’t make it for you.”

“Why didn’t you make it?”

“You wouldn’t want to eat it.”

Mo Han glanced at her, “Remember to make more next time.”

“I don’t want to.” Xia Qingyi said, “There’s no reason for me to make breakfast for you.”

Mo Han knocked the table as his voice turned cold, “If you don’t make more, you won’t be able to eat the portion that you made for yourself.”

Xia Qingyi finally turned to glance at him, though she looked away quickly. She stood up, taking the bag placed on the chair beside her, “I’m full. I’m going to school now.”

Mo Han replied after her, “Come back earlier tonight. I have some things to discuss with you.”

Xia Qingyi acted as if she had not heard anything as she left the house without turning back.

Shen Rou walked out of the bedroom the moment Xia Qingyi had left. She was still wearing her pajamas as she yawned, “Are you going to the law firm today?”

Mo Han hummed once in reply as he stood up to head to the kitchen. He opened the fridge to take out an apple that Xia Qingyi had bought from the supermarket a few days ago for his breakfast.

“Can I go to the law firm with you?” Shen Rou asked as she drank water.

“Why do you want to go to the law firm?”

“Nothing much. I just wanted to be with you and to see if your working environment is still the same.”

“The law firm is a place for work and I don’t want to bring any personal feelings there. It’s better if you don’t go.” Mo Han said.

Shen Rou knew that Mo Han had always been like that, that his work was always more important than her. But, she just loved him too much. She had spent too much effort to woo their school’s cold and handsome top student back then. She had to learn to compromise. She had given up too many things in order to stay by his side. She had even left her country for an internship and job position overseas just to be able to stand by his side better.

She really loved him, and she could not let such a small matter make all her previous efforts go to waste.

“When are you free then? Let’s go out and have fun since I’m back.”

“It’s a little difficult to go out and have fun since a case I have is about to open in court these few days.” Mo Han said, “You should go out with your old friends first since you’ve only just came back. It’s been a while since you guys have met up.”

“I haven’t been in contact with them for a while. Maybe I will contact them in a few days. I’ll just rest at your place for these few days. It’s been a while since I was able to relax with a whole free day.”

“Just stay here for the moment then. I’ll take you out if I have the time in a few days.”

Shen Rou broke into a smile as her eyes sparkled, “Really?”

“Yes. I’ll take a short break after I’m done with this case.”

Mo Han still loved her. He definitely still loved her. If not, he would not have been willing to spend time with her. It was her that had overthinked. She might have been too sensitive since it had been too long since they had met, Shen Rou thought to herself.

She rushed over to Mo Han and hugged him. She stood on tiptoes to kiss him on his lips, “Then I’ll wait for you at home!”

Mo Han did not have much of a reaction as he said, “Okay. Now, let me go to work. It’s time for me to go.”

Shen Rou was all smiles as she let him go, “I’ll make something delicious for you at home, just wait for me.”

Mo Han returned to his room for a change of clothes. He knotted his tie, tidied his belongings and put on his shoes before he left the house.

Shen Rou stood in a corner. The scene felt exceptionally sweet, like they were a young couple that had just gotten married. She could already imagine their future lives together.

They would be together forever and ever.
