Facing her roommates' endless pestering, Jiang Yao nodded vigorously and said loudly, "Yes, that's my husband, Lu Xingzhi!"
The girls laughed after hearing Jiang Yao's answer. They sat at different corners of her bed and glanced at her in amusement.
"Wow, calling you every day, huh? I'm so jealous I'm gonna die!" Wen Xuehui grinned. "No wonder he sent someone to give you a mobile phone when you started schoolhe wants to listen to your voice every day! You guys are in a long-distance relationship, so even if you're not by his side, listening to your voice isn't too bad. Oh my gosh, Jiang Yao, where did you find such a sweet husband?"
"Actually, it's the other way around, he found me," Jiang Yao said. She plastered a loving smile on her face as she recalled their past. It's true, Lu Xingzhi found her.
The girls looked at Jiang Yao with envy. She was like the product of God's perfect creation. She was blessed with a pretty face and excellent academic track, she appeared in the Nanjiang Morning Post as soon as she started school and gained the attention of the whole university, and she even had a husband who adored her dearly. They never saw even a slight bit of sadness on her face since the first day they met her. They speculated that she must have had a very wonderful life and in-laws who treated her nicely.
After chatting and joking around for a while, they all returned to their respective beds. Jiang Yao dried her hair and hung the towel at the balcony. When she returned to her bed, she saw that the phone screen was lit and a notification that indicated a new incoming message.
Jiang Yao assumed that it was just a spam message. After all, very few people knew her number, except for her roommates, Lu Xingzhi, and Zhou Weiqi. She hadn't even managed to inform her family about it. Who would've sent a message to her then? Moreover, Jiang Yao subconsciously speculated that Lu Xingzhi was not the kind of person who would send text messages based on her understanding of his straightforward and no-nonsense personality.
However, unexpectedly, when she clicked on the message, it really was from Lu Xingzhi. It was clearly a smack right in her own face.
The message was short and simple.
'27 days to go.'From: Hubby.
Based on such a simple and direct message, Jiang Yao could feel the uncontrollable sensation and desire from Lu Xingzhi to meet her 27 days later that he had already started counting down the days for her.
