Sweet Wife in My Arms

>She thought the house would be warmer if it was smaller.
Moreover, she had to leave some space over the window for air ventilation.
She would rather freeze than get poisoned by carbon monoxide from the stove.

She lifted the blanket, walked to the stove and added more firewood to it.
On top of the stove was a kettle – she would have warm water to use and drink when she woke up in the morning.

She went back to bed after adding firewood and tugged herself in the blanket.
The atmosphere was still humid because of the weather.
It had been snowing since she arrived and she had never seen the sun.
Moreover, the damaged house had leakages everywhere which made it even more humid.

She sighed lightly and lied down again.
She rolled herself up into a ball because that was the only way she could keep herself warm.

She should sleep because she needed to wake up in the morning to collect more firewood.
Days like this seemed not as hard to pass.
She thought to herself that she could endure and bear with it.

As the days passed, she would be closer to going home and closer to staying alive.

She fell asleep and dreamed about Lu Yi making her food.
He made her favorite dishes and also his favorite meat.

She picked up the chopsticks to take a piece of meat.
However, Su Qingdong slapped the back of her hand forcefully when she was about to take a bite.
Her fingers jerked and the meat fell on the floor instantly.
She stared at the piece of meat tearily, her heart ached.

Tears started streaming down her face.

The sky was already bright when she opened her eyes.
She touched her face and smiled wryly.
It was just a dream, which explained why there were meat and dishes.
Anyway, it did not matter since she did not get to have a proper meal.

She thought that it was still nice to occasionally dream about food even though she did not get to eat them.
She only wanted to have a look, reminisce and think about food for a bit.

She got dressed and walked up to the stove.
It was a relief that the fire did not burn out.
She woke up at least thrice in the night just to make sure that the fire was still on.
She would not have the money to buy matches to light up the fire in case it burned out.

She never knew that lighting up a fire would be so difficult sometimes.

This place was falling behind, they did not even have a lighter.
Perhaps things like matches were hard to find in Sea City.

She carried the small container filled with rice.
She was happy whenever she saw the rice as it assured her that there was nothing to be worried about.

There was nothing to be concerned about when there was food.
The small container would be sufficient to maintain her for a few months as she only needed a small portion each day.
