4 Sweethearts 4 (2/2)
Innocently sucking her thumb, Peach pondered over his question. She then recalled witnessing her parents kissing on the couch in the living room. Nodding her head, Peach replied to Shen Mochen in all seriousness, ”I know! A husband is for kissing!”
The second the words left her mouth, she rushed over to Shen Mochen and placed her palms on both sides of his cheeks. ”Mwah!” Peach landed a loud kiss on Shen Mochen's cheek.
Shen Mochen's face turned pale and he froze on the spot. After a long time of being motionless, he headed out of Peach's house towards his own, without saying a single word.
”Husband, where are you going?”
The answer to her question was a loud bang as Shen Mochen slammed the door shut.
Peach stood rooted to the ground, gnawing on her fingers uneasily. Confused, Peach tilted her head to the side and mused over what had happened. She wondered if she had made a mistake. Recalling that her parents had kissed each other on their lips, the conclusion Peach arrived at was that Shen Mochen was upset because she had only given him a peck on the cheek instead of his lips.
Pleased with her realisation, Peach clapped her hands and skipped home. She decided to kiss him on the lips the next time they met so as to resolve the issue.
However, Peach waited for many days but Shen Mochen did not turn up. Curious, she approached He Yue before He Yue left for work. Grabbing He Yue's skirt, Peach asked, ”Godma, where's my husband?”
Glancing down, He Yue saw that it was Peach. She then replied Peach with a smile, ”Chen Chen has gone to kindergarten. The kindergarten has organised a camp for the students to help them adapt to their new environment, so he will be staying over at the kindergarten for a few days.”
”Kindergarten? What's that for?” Peach wondered.
After listening to He Yue's explanation, Peach released He Yue's skirt and slowly headed home. She could not arrive at an answer despite trying so hard to understand, so she gave up trying. To her, she would go wherever her husband was.
In the evening, when Peach's mother came home from work, she saw Peach sitting earnestly on a stool while waiting for her. When Peach spotted her mother, her face lit up.
