After eating, I rinsed the dishes in the kitchen. I tried to be as gentle as possible so as not to make any noise when the dishes hit each other. After wiping off the water stains on my hands, I opened the bedroom door.

It was dark inside, and the light from the living room cast a narrow rectangle in the room. With this light, I saw your back lying on your side on the bed.

I found that I didn't disturb your rest, so I closed the door with peace of mind.

You and I both have a slight mysophobia. Do you think this is fate to some extent? Although we don’t wash our hands dozens of times a day, we still care about the cleanliness of our bodies and homes.

We made a rule of taking turns to do housework. It’s me on days 1, 3, 5, and you on days 2, 4, and 6, although you often do my share. Sometimes when I get up and look at the empty trash can, I even wonder what day it is today.

Days of the week. Feiniao has visited our home several times and always complains about whether we even keep the trash can clean.

You have already prepared pajamas and bath towels for me in the bathroom.

You are so considerate of everything that we rarely encounter any obstacles or quarrels in our lives. The only time I remember it was not long after we started dating. I can’t remember how many times we went on a date. We were in a quiet home.

We were discussing the plot of the movie in a small restaurant. I noticed the whispers around me, and then the sound of the shutter being secretly taken on my cell phone.

I didn't wear a mask at that time. On weekdays, even if I'm not affected by hay fever, I would probably wear a mask when I go out. I would only take it off when I'm at work, in a restaurant, or at home. You don't mind this, and you said you'd consider it

In my previous career, this was necessary. I am very grateful for your understanding.

Maybe I frowned subconsciously, maybe I didn’t realize it myself. You, who are always gentle, simply walked to a nearby dining table and asked the other party to delete the secretly taken photos. I don’t even understand, without confirming whether the other party is

When you secretly filmed me, where did you find the courage to stand up and carry out such an act?

Well, is she a bridge...

Please delete the photo you just took.

You repeated something so earnestly and solemnly without any intention of backing down, and even attracted the restaurant manager to mediate. In the end, the person deleted the photo.

When he asked about our relationship, you hesitated. After a long silence, you only gave the answer of a colleague.

On the way back, I got angry for the first time. You knew the reason, so you just lowered your head and listened, nodding in agreement from time to time, waiting for my anger to subside.

Your reasonableness occasionally makes me feel helpless with no accountability, so I can't be angry with you for too long. We already understood each other before we even got home.

I'm always worried that you'll be too accommodating to me and that you'll be wronging yourself.

I put on my pajamas, dried my hair, turned off the lights in the living room and entrance, and just opened the bedroom door, you had already turned on the bedside light.

You sat up and smiled like a child who succeeded in playing a prank. I was also infected by your emotions.

Did I wake you up?

No, I couldn't sleep. When I heard some movement in the living room, I guessed it was Nanamin and you were back.

You like to stare at the other person when you lie, as if you are afraid that others will not believe you. I soon realized that this was just a white lie on your part.

I lifted up the quilt and sat on the bed. You moved to the side to make room for me. The warmth in the quilt reminded me of the remaining warmth of the meal, which also made me feel at ease.

Nanamin, do you want to read a book?

Forget it today, it's too late. I have to go to work tomorrow.

You nodded and reached out to turn off the light, but paused. You asked me if the company could ask for leave on my birthday this month.

In fact, I hardly have many surprises for my birthday every year. In the past, my members helped me organize it, but now you are the one in charge. But everyone is very busy, so it would be nice to have a fixed time to get together.

I heard you talking about the planning process for my birthday on the 20th, including the participation of Mai and Asuka and the others, as well as the selection of the venue. You also said that there may be other members who have finished their work and will come over at short notice.

A larger box is very necessary.

You analyzed everything to me one by one, down to the smallest detail, making me look like a demanding boss at a meeting refusing to pass a project.

You must have forgotten all the ways Feiniao made things difficult for you at my birthday party last year. She asked you unceremoniously to add juice to her cup. She said that the food was not to your taste, and that the environment was not quiet enough.

Going around and around, finishing a meal is more tiring than completing a big project alone.

You told me that this was Feiniao's test for you, so you took more care of her, and sometimes even brought her gifts when you were on business trips. I said that Feiniao likes weird things, so you brought a lot of toys with strange shapes and unknown functions.

Or decorative items.

I forwarded it, and Feiniao was embarrassed not to accept it. Judging from her unhappy expression, she probably took this as your revenge on her.

I didn't point it out, after all, your relationship is quite interesting.

Can you go somewhere with me before my birthday?

You agreed without hesitation, and it wasn't until I covered my mouth and chuckled that you came to your senses and asked me where I was going and whether I wanted to ask for leave in advance.

It shouldn't be necessary, and it's not far. You can stay in Asahikawa for one night at most, and a weekend is enough.

You nodded stupidly, and it took you a while to receive the important information, but you were so flustered that you didn't know what to do. After a long time, with uncontrollable joy, you cautiously asked, "Should I prepare a formal suit?"

I smiled and reached out to turn off the light.

Go to sleep and don't forget to call me tomorrow.

……oh.

In the darkness, I imagined your embarrassment of scratching your head and scratching your head, anxious but unable to continue asking, and I felt interesting and warm in my heart.

The ancient Greeks believed that the earliest humans had four arms, four legs, and two faces forming one head. At that time, we were complete and happy.

Later, the jealous gods split us in half, one half became a man and the other half became a woman. From then on, mankind embarked on a lonely journey to find the other half.

It is said that when we find the other half of our lives and souls, there will be a resonance in each other's hearts, and we will melt into that piece of love and intimacy, making it difficult to tell each other apart.
