Ning Chunchi went back to work after Jiang Yumiao finished eating, leaving behind a thoroughly distracted Little Grape.
Jiang Yumiao had looked as though he was eating attentively, but his emotions had been in turmoil, his mind racing.
Did Ning Chunchi asking me to go home and get my household registration booklet mean we were registering our marriage tomorrow?! I hadn't misunderstood, had I?
He knew marriage was the next step after a proposal, but he hadn't expected it to happen this fast!!!
Still in that dazed state, Jiang Yumiao drifted back to his computer and sat staring at the screen for ages, his fingers tapping unconsciously at the keyboard.
By the time he came back to himself, the document was packed with the words he had just typed. The entire screen was filled with "marriage."
Jiang Yumiao hammered the delete key. Once he had erased everything, he realized he couldn't keep going like this. He couldn't write at all.
He wandered around the apartment, even venturing into the gym that usually only Ning Chunchi used.
But the moment he stepped onto the treadmill, he realized that in his current physical condition, he couldn't run at all. He had to turn the speed down and walk for half an hour instead.
After getting off the treadmill, Jiang Yumiao went to soak in the bathroom. He hugged his knees in the spacious bathtub and stared into space for ages, only climbing out when the water was nearly cold.
It was still only a little past three in the afternoon. After spending all that time bustling around without accomplishing anything, Jiang Yumiao finally returned to his computer. Just as he sat down, a message from Yu He arrived.
[Yu He: It's been so many days. You two should be done by now,
