Back at the hotel, Jian Xi started pestering Nan Mufeng to teach her the language of Country D. Her eagerness and perseverance brought tears and laughter to Nan Mufeng.
The two practiced until eleven o'clock at night, and Jian Xi was still studying hard.
"Wife, we should go to sleep now."
"Wait a minute, let me memorize a few more words." Jian Xi sat at the desk, sometimes tapping the voice teaching on her phone, sometimes writing words in her notebook with a pen.
Nan Mufeng sighed and said, "I'll teach you one last phrase, and then we'll sleep, okay?"
"Okay."
Jian Xi turned off her phone, looking at Nan Mufeng with enthusiasm.
A mischievous sparkle flickered in Nan Mufeng's eyes as he said in the language of Country D, "Husband, I love you."
"Husband, I love you." Jian Xi, not knowing what it meant, parroted the phrase.
A great joy surged in Nan Mufeng's heart as he said with feigned calmness, "Husband, I love you."
"Husband, I love you."
