Something was wrong with Caishen, Alix could tell because he was much more quiet than usual. He had been that way since he came home, all through dinner and now, in the bedroom when they were preparing to go to sleep.
She had been holding it in for as long as she could but if she let it go on any longer, she was afraid that whatever the problem was, it would spill over into their relationship. So, she waited for him to get into bed and then she slowly brought herself into his arms, one legs over his thighs and her head on his chest.
Normally, he would comment or push her aside but he didn't even try tonight, which sort of alarmed her.
She sat up and then pulled his body up as well and helped him lean against the headboard.
