Rosiley’s eyebrows were raised almost imperceptibly. Then, she smiled. “Actually, it doesn’t matter. The man I married is you. I don’t care about anything else.”
Gazing intently at her small, lively, pretty face, Sachin’s heart trembled. He could not resist the tenderness which was about to overflow in his heart. He lowered his head and kissed her slightly-parted ruby lips.
After kissing her lightly, he kept his lips on hers. “Rosiley… ”
His voice called out to her, tenderly and longingly. It made Rosiley’s heart tremble slightly. She could not help but hook his neck with her uplifted arms, then lift her head to kiss his lips, enjoying this intimacy to the fullest.
Then, he put her gently on the bed. He then climbed over her and kissed her lips again.
The wind gently lifted a corner of the curtain, behind which a couple was entangled in each other’s arms.
The moon hid bashfully in the clouds.
It was a long autumn night.
Rosiley had fallen asleep to Sachin’s tossing and turning. She was exhausted, and when she woke up, it was already afternoon.
Fortunately, she did not have to work, since it was the weekend.
After taking her lunch more than an hour late, Rosiley went to the living room to watch TV.
Because of the charity party, Sachin had gone to his company to make some arrangements. So, he had left in the morning.
She remembered that while she was still dazed in sleep, he had awakened her and told her this.
But she was too tired and sleepy, and she had soon fallen back to sleep.
Auntie Wu told her this again when she took her lunch. Only then did she vaguely remember him briefly waking her.
The TV was showing the most popular celebrity reality show at the moment. It featured the most popular contemporary stars. It would have been strange if they were not popular.
Each episode featured a different theme. Male and female stars would pit their wits and guts against one another, fighting for an item or for plain honor.
To be honest, such programs were all scripted. What the stars had to say or do was all pre-arranged.
They could only dupe young girls and boys who did not know much about this deceitful world.
Rosiley watched until she kept yawning. In the end, she could not resist the call of sleep. She fell sideways on the sofa, dozing off.
Auntie Wu walked over and found her asleep on the sofa. She smiled helplessly and went upstairs to get a blanket, gently covering her with it.
The autumn day was good for sleep. Rosiley was sleeping very comfortably, playing chess and having tea with the old immortal of slumberland.
All of a sudden, her phone rang rapidly.
She was so startled that she bolted upright immediately.
She opened her drowsy eyes and looked out of the French window. The sun was bright and dazzling.
It was a good day for sleep.
Who on earth was calling at this hour to disrupt her sweet dreams?
The cell phone kept ringing in her ears. She scratched her scalp irritably, then she reached out for her cell phone on the coffee table. She picked it up without checking the caller ID. “Hello, who is this?”
She must have sounded too harsh, since the other person kept quiet.
Rosiley frowned and put the cell phone down. She checked the caller ID and saw that it was Xiaoxiao.
So she put it back to her ear. “Hey Xiaoxiao, are you mute? Can’t you speak?”
It was all quiet again. Just when Rosiley was about to hang up the phone, Ying Xiaoxiao’s tentative voice rang out from the other end.
“Rosiley, did you have gunpowder for lunch today? Why do you sound so harsh?”
“You try being polite when somebody wakes you from a good nap! Would you sound happy?” Rosiley said angrily.
Then she asked, “Tell me, why did you call?”
Ying Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment, then said, “I would like you to come and save me.”
Save her?
Rosiley raised her eyebrows in surprise.
