"Dummy."
Zhou He muttered, gripping his hand tightly in return. Under the lamp, Xu Nianji's face blurred a little, making it hard for her to see it clearly. She tilted her head and said, "I don't have a dowry. Most of the two hundred yuan betrothal money was kept by my dad. Besides this bedding set, some clothes, and a few little things, I really have nothing else. Will you mind?"
"No." Xu Nianji replied without a second thought. He said, "Xiaohe, I'll be good to you in the future. Things are tough right now, but I'll work hard to earn money so you can eat well and stay warm."
"Okay."
Zhou He said sweetly in her heart, "I'll be good to your parents, to your brother and sister too."
"Xiaohe, you look so beautiful today."
Xu Nianji's face grew bigger and bigger before Zhou He's eyes.
...
After a long day, Xu Nianhua lay in bed, feeling every cell in her body relax, wrapped in comfort.
