“Hu…”
I leaned against the headboard, covering my chest with the bed sheet, my right hand holding a cigarette, exhaling an ecstatic smoke ring into the air.
I turned my head towards Han Lei, who had already put on his glasses, and saw that he was hiding and trembling inside the covers like a bullied little girl, very unalluring.
I patted his slightly shaky shoulders, in a consoling and promising tone, “I will take responsibility.”
He looked at me timidly, and said with his slightly trembling little lips, “You can’t go back on your words!”
Thus I affectionately embraced him, like coaxing a child, I smiled and said, “En, I give you my word”
Finally, we fell asleep with a smile on our faces.
