I rubbed my eyes,

trying to see the hand in the bathtub clearly.

Unfortunately, the bathroom was too small,

and my husband kept standing between me and the tub,

finding various excuses not to leave.

Just as I was about to forcibly push my husband aside to find out,

a tingling voice came from the small bathroom window.

"Brother Zhou, open the door quickly, I'm here to get the towel."

The small bathroom window faced the hallway,

oh well, this little vixen is really daring,

actually coming to our door herself.

I'll go see this little bitch right now.

Taking three steps as two,

I left my husband and went to the living room to open the door,

"How dare you sedu..."

Looking at the stranger before me,

I swallowed my words.

He was about six feet tall,

in green dinosaur pajamas,

his top half open, and unmistakably male.

"Are you… the sister-in-law?" the stranger asked with interest.

"I am Zhou Jianfeng's wife, and you are?"

The stranger pulled me inside forcefully,

directly walking into my house,

"Sister-in-law, you are very beautiful. I'm your neighbor across the hall. I've come to talk to Brother Zhou about something."

I quickly pulled my hand back,

trying to keep a distance from this "little dinosaur."

How could his voice not match his appearance at all?

And why does he have no sense of boundaries with the opposite sex?

And what's the deal with the towel?

I need to ask my husband for an explanation.

"Little Wang is here." My husband came out from the bedroom with a towel,

I gave him a look, signaling him to quickly introduce us.

"This is Little Wang, who lives across the hall from us. Knowing that I do design work, he asked me last week to design a logo for their family's bath towels."

My husband handed the towel to Little Wang,

Little Wang carefully examined the printed logo,

offering some professional opinions,

I quickly made room for my husband,

so he could fully explain his design concept.

Standing in the kitchen, I made tea,

while secretly watching the two in the living room.

At first, they were talking seriously,

but soon they were laughing heartily,

and eventually, they were patting each other's backs,

acting like two children.

As I brought the tea,

Little Wang said with a smile:

"Sister-in-law, you are really blessed. Good men like Brother Zhou are hard to find nowadays."

I blushed and looked at my husband tenderly,

"He is like a block of wood, only I would tolerate him."

My husband scratched his head embarrassed,

Little Wang pretended to be angry and said:

"You two stop showing off your love in front of me, or I won't accept this logo."

My husband hurriedly laughed to break the awkwardness.

After they finished talking, my husband and I saw Little Wang out.

"Wife, were you overthinking things in the bathroom just now?"

Feeling a bit embarrassed that my husband read my thoughts,

I was about to retort when I suddenly remembered,

the bathroom, the tub, the hand,

the matter wasn't resolved yet.

I left my husband and rushed into the bathroom like the wind,

reaching into the tub and searching frantically.

My husband slowly followed,

leaning against the bathroom door, watching me leisurely.

I trusted what I saw,

but besides petals and bath bombs,

there was only the dark red bath water in the tub.

"Wife, are you looking for this?"

I turned around and saw my husband holding a human hand,

which scared me into sitting on the floor.

My husband quickly ran over to help me up,

"Happy Birthday. I carved this wooden sculpture myself, symbolizing that I'll always hold you in my hands. Do you like it?"

Another surprise?

Facing my third surprise of the day,

I was already a bit numb,

looking at the lifelike wood carving before me,

with my name carved into the hand making a heart shape,

what more could I say,

all my doubts vanished,

at that moment, I just wanted to give my husband a big hug.

We embraced lovingly,

enjoying our world among the roses,

and without realizing it, we moved to the bedroom.

But as I opened my eyes,

the smooth white sheets on the bed caught my attention,

somehow they now had a touch of rose red,

and upon closer inspection, something seemed to be moving within them.

Close
