บท 87: The lessening distance

Xinyi slightly stiffened at that thought. In the initial years, Xinyi and Zhiyuan slept separately on the bed and couch before she couldn't see him uneasily sleep on the couch and insisted on sharing the bed. 

But ever since Siying was born, he would always sleep between them on the bed but now…

On Zhiyuan's side, he realized the same thing too just when Xinyi did. He slightly widened his eyes. He sneakily peeked at her.

Wait, will Xinyi be uncomfortable?

"Um…"

"Um…"

Xinyi and Zhiyuan spoke at the same time.

Zhiyuan seemed as if he wanted to say something but he couldn't.

Why am I feeling so nervous? It's just that Siying is not there tonight, Zhiyuan pondered.

To save further awkwardness, Zhiyuan quickly said, "I will go take a shower."

Xinyi also hurriedly nodded in response. Her chest was thudding the whole time, thinking of tonight.
