A day before the wedding, I lay next to Wang Muchen feeling inexplicably nervous.
I lay on my side and he lay behind me with an arm wrapped around my waist.
I whispered.
"Muchen?"
"Hum?"
"Are you awake?"
"Yeah"
"I want to tell you something"
"Say"
"It's a secret. A secret I've never told anyone in this life."
He pulled me closer and leaned his head on my neck
"Say"
I took a deep breath and thought about where to start from. He didn't rush me or urge me. I decided to just say it once. Like ripping the band aid off an injury.
"Actually, I was reborn"
I turned around to face him and saw that he was only looking at me intently. The love in his eyes didn't change, nor did he look at me weirdly so I continued.
