Heart Stealer

Xiao Tuobang was always thinking about Qiuxue, and this night seemed particularly long to him.

Before the dawn light had completely penetrated the darkness, Xiao Tuobang could no longer suppress his inner urgency and jumped out of bed.

Without even having time to eat breakfast, he went straight to his mother-in-law's house.

When he arrived at his mother-in-law's house, Xiao Tuobang took a deep breath and tried to calm his excited mood.

He slowly raised his hand and gently knocked on Qiuxue's door.

A moment later, there was a slight noise in the room, as if someone was groping to get out of bed. Then, the door slowly opened a crack.

Qiu Xue appeared at the door with sleepy eyes, her hair a little messy, and the collar of her pajamas slightly open, revealing a part of her white neck.

When she saw that the anxious face outside the door was Xiao Tuobang, a look of surprise appeared on her face.

Xiao Tuobang didn't care about anything else. He quickly stretched out his right hand and gently touched Qiu Xue's forehead, carefully feeling the warmth coming from her forehead.

After confirming that there was nothing unusual, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Tuobang asked in a reproachful tone, "Wife, you're clearly not sick, why did you lie to me? You made me worry all night long!"

Facing her husband's questioning, Qiu quickly defended herself, "When did I ever lie to you? You were just making random guesses!" After that, she pouted her lips, looking actually a little cute.

Xiao Tuobang sighed helplessly, lowered his voice, and his tone became gentle: "Okay, okay, I wronged you, dear. Since you are okay, let's go home quickly." As he said that, he stretched out his hand to Qiu Xue, his eyes full of expectation.

What Xiao Tuobang didn't expect was that Qiu Xue actually shook her head again, firmly expressing her unwillingness to go home with him.

Seeing this, Xiao Tuobang was immediately confused. He couldn't help but ask, "Wife, why don't you want to go back with me?"

The two were in a stalemate when Mrs. Qiu's voice came from outside the door: "Qiuxue, get up and have breakfast." As soon as Mrs. Qiu finished speaking, she walked into the room.

She was a little surprised to see Xiao Tuobang there too.

Mrs. Qiu looked at the two of them and understood what was going on. She smiled and said, "Okay, let's talk after breakfast."

Seeing that Qiu Xue still didn't want to get up, Xiao Tuobang stopped forcing her and turned to Mrs. Qiu and said, "Mom, I'll go back first. I still have some things to deal with at the company."

After saying that, he looked at Qiu Xue deeply, then turned and left.

After Xiao Tuobang left, Mrs. Qiu took Qiu Xue to sit down and said earnestly, "My child, the most important thing between husband and wife is trust. If there are any problems, you must communicate in time and don't keep them in your heart."

Qiu Xue lowered her head and remained silent, as if thinking about something.

Seeing this, Mrs. Qiu said no more, but just patted her hands and told her to go wash up quickly.

Qiu Xue nodded silently, stood up and walked to the bathroom. She looked at herself in the mirror. Her face was pale and her eyes revealed a hint of fatigue.

She knew that her mother was right and that trust was needed between husband and wife, but she didn't know how to face Xiao Tuobang.

After washing up, Qiu Xue came to the dining table. Mrs. Qiu prepared a sumptuous breakfast for her, but she had no appetite.

Mrs. Qiu saw what she was thinking and softly advised: "No matter what, your health is important. Eat something first." Qiu Xue reluctantly picked up the chopsticks and took a few bites.

In the evening, Xiao Tuobang dragged his tired body back home, looking forward to seeing Qiu Xue.

However, the house was empty and Qiu Xue still hadn't returned home.

His mood suddenly became heavy, and a feeling of anxiety and worry surged in his heart.

He picked up his phone and called Qiu Xue, but no one answered the call.

Xiao Tuobang frowned tightly, and all kinds of bad thoughts kept flashing through his mind.

Obviously, Qiu Xue was still angry with him, which made him feel extremely self-blaming and guilty.

On the morning of the third day, it was still early. The eastern sky was only slightly pale, and the sun was still lazily hiding below the horizon and refused to show up.

However, Xiao Tuobang could no longer contain his inner anxiety and hurried to his mother-in-law's house.

Along the way, his heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and his pace involuntarily quickened.

When he finally arrived at his mother-in-law's house, he didn't even have time to take a breath. He tidied up his slightly messy clothes and walked straight towards Qiuxue's room.

Standing in front of the familiar door, he raised his hand, hesitated for a moment, and then gently knocked on the door.

The knocks on the door were particularly clear in the quiet morning, and each knock seemed to knock on his own heart.

After a while, the door slowly opened a crack. Xiao Tuobang didn't wait even a second, and without hesitation, he reached out and pushed the door open, slipping in.

When he saw Qiu Xue, the emotions that had been suppressed for so long suddenly erupted like a volcano.

He rushed forward and pounced on Qiu Xue like a hungry wolf finding delicious prey.

He opened his arms, hugged her tightly, and then kissed her madly. Xiao Tuobang's lips kept moving between her cheeks, forehead, and neck, and he even bit her from time to time.

It was as if he wanted to pour all his thoughts and love over the past period of time into this short moment.

Qiu Xue was obviously frightened by Xiao Tuobang's sudden and violent action.

She instinctively struggled a few times, trying to break free from Xiao Tuobang's arms.

She gently stretched out her hands, placed them on Xiao Tuobang's chest, and slowly pushed him away.

She raised her head slightly, looked at Xiao Tuobang's face which was flushed with excitement, and said softly: "Husband, don't be like this, let's talk it over."

After hearing Qiu Xue's words, Xiao Tuobang stopped all his movements immediately as if he was cast under a spell.

He stared straight into Qiu Xue's eyes, in which his own anxious face was reflected.

His voice was a little deep due to excessive emotion, and there was a barely perceptible tremor: "Wife, I was really worried about you! You didn't even come home last night..."

Qiu Xue felt Xiao Tuobang's worry and couldn't help feeling a warm current.

She gently held Xiao Tuobang's hand and said softly, "I'm sorry, husband. I was too sleepy last night and fell asleep early. I know I made you worry. I will be more careful next time."

After listening to Qiu Xue's explanation, Xiao Tuobang's worries were slightly alleviated.

Xiao Tuobang looked at Qiu Xue affectionately, and his love grew stronger.

He couldn't help but reach out to untie Qiuxue's clothes. Seeing this, Qiuxue quickly pushed him away and said gently, "Hubby, I promise I will go back with you now."

"You must keep your word." Xiao Tuobang looked into Qiu Xue's eyes and said seriously.

"Of course." Qiu Xue replied with a smile. Her smile was as warm as a spring breeze, which made Xiao Tuobang feel relaxed. "Let's pack up and go home quickly."

The couple hurriedly packed their luggage and went downstairs.

At the stairs, they happened to meet Mrs. Qiu.

Mrs. Qiu looked at Xiao Tuobang and Qiu Xue and greeted them with a smile: "Tuobang, you are here again, come and have breakfast."

"Mom, let's not have breakfast. Let's go home first." Xiao Tuobang said as he pulled Qiuxue's hand and walked out the door.
