After four years without each other, he had forgotten how to take care of her.
"It's just a small wound on my hand."
Alice said.
"Go sit on the sofa, I'll dry your hair." William held her horizontally in his hands, placed her on the sofa and covered her with a blanket, "Cover yourself well, don't catch a cold."
Alice's heart was very warm. She smiled with an extremely docile expression, "Mmm."
She sat on a green sofa with a blanket wrapped around her body. William stood behind her and dried her hair. He buried his long fingers in her hair and asked if it was hot.
"It's not hot."
Alice said as she tightly wrapped herself in the blanket, enjoying the warmth, and unconsciously touched the ring on her finger.
She looked down at her fingers.
The thorns in body should not be allowed to grow indefinitely.
Alice pursed her lips, should she say something? Or let herself slowly forget it?
William helped her dry her hair and placed the hair that had fallen off her head on the armrest of the sofa, upon seeing that, Alice could not help but ask, "What are you doing?"
"Store it."
William replied.
"Why store my hair?" Alice looked up in confusion. The hair dryer in William's hand touched her face and a warm wind blew over.
"Because, I am not going to lose anything that's precious anymore."
Alice's heartbeat became even more intense, "Anything precious?"
"Everything about you is precious. I don't want to lose even a single strand of hair!" William's tone was overbearing.
Alice blushed. She had not heard William's love words for far too long.
William lowered his eyes and stared at the subtle changes in her expression, "I've discovered that I still like to hold you in my palms."
For the past four years, he didn't even know how he survived.
His words were extremely straightforward.
Alice smiled, her heart was filled with shock.
After drying her hair, William really stored a few strands of her hair into a box. Alice sat cross-legged on the sofa, looked at William's figure as if she had thought of something.
In the end, she decided to talk about it, rather than leave it aching all the time. "William, I have something to talk to you about."
Alice said.
"Go ahead."
William closed the box in his hands.
"Yesterday on the boat, Mona said she had seven women accompany you."
"Bam."
Before Alice could finish speaking, the box in William's hands fell to the ground. His expression immediately became somewhat ugly.
Alice sat there and looked at him.
Obviously, this thorn was stabbed into both of their bodies.
"William, I want to say."
"I'm going to take a shower."
William interrupted her with a hoarse voice and walked towards the bathroom, leaving her alone in the room. Alice slumped against the sofa and closed her eyes.
Should she not have mentioned it?
It was better to just let it pass.
William went in to take a bath for more than an hour. Alice stood outside the bathroom, gritting her teeth. After thinking for a moment, she reached out her hand and pushed open the door.
The door was unlocked.
The light in the bathroom was on, William was sitting on the washbasin alone with his bare feet touching the ground. He was still wearing the same clothes, without any signs of having taken a shower.
Last time was a bathtub, this time was the washbasin, why was it that every time he was in the bathroom, his style was always so unique?
Alice looked at him, "William, I..."
"You're not allowed to speak!"
William interrupted her words.
Alice stood at the door and looked at him quietly.
"You said you were going to marry me, didn't you?" William looked at her.
"Right."
Alice nodded. She even took the initiative to propose to him.
"You said the you did not want anything but me, right?" William asked once again. "Right."
Alice nodded again.
"You said it was all in the past, right?" William asked.
"Yes." Alice nodded again and waited quietly for his next words.
"Then why do you have to bring this matter up again?" William jumped down from the washbasin and stood in front of her. "What do you want? Break up with me? Arguing with me?"
"I don't."
"Yes, I'm so stupid that I believe Mona's words. I'm stupid, I have no cure. I was played like an idiot! You think I'm feeling good? I only have you in my heart, yet I've risked my life to flirt with those women!" William became extremely irritable, "Now that I think about it, I can't help but want to kill myself!"
Alice stared at him in a daze. She wanted to say something, but William shouted again, "Alice, you are not allowed to bring it up! If you mention it once, I would think I'm stupid enough to die!"
He reached out to smash something. He raised his hand for a moment but then retracted it.
Hearing this, Alice hurriedly said, "Alright, alright, alright, I won't mention it anymore, don't be so agitated."
Let it go, let it go, let it fade.
"You've already mentioned it!"
William stared at her.
"I mention it because I want to say it."
"Don't you feel bad even if you didn't mention it? It's impossible for you to treat me as before! " William said self-deprecatingly, "In the future, when you look at me, you will think, look, not only is this man stupid, he's also not clean!"
"I didn't mean that."
Alice realized that she could not even interject.
"Get out! I want to take a shower!"
After saying that, William turned and walked towards the shower. He closed the glass door and opened the shower. The splashing sound of water could be heard.
The glass door in the shower was grinded, so it was hard to see clearly. All she could see was a tall figure crouching down.
He didn't even take off his clothes to take a bath.
It was as if she had been in a room with several men.
Alice thought for a moment, then walked towards the shower, crouching down outside the glass door. She said gently: "William, I just didn't want this grudge to grow inside my body."
The only response was the sound of water.
"I don't blame you, William. Really." Alice said, "It's impossible for me to not care about this matter, but I am willing to treat it as a thorn and take it out in front of you, then this thorn will be gone."
The glass door was tightly locked.
"I really didn't mean anything else." Alice's voice became weaker, "If you are intentionally cheating, then I won't even say anything before I turn around and leave. But you aren't not. I know that you have endured these four years of suffering for my sake."
As she continued to speak, Alice's eyes started to sore.
Only the sound of water remained.
"William, don't be angry, okay?" Alice raised her hand and knocked on the glass door twice, "We are like the plates that you broke on the night of engagement. It was broken into pieces but stuck together again. There are cracks, but we are still together, right?"
"Actually, you were the one who came to coax me. How did it become me who coaxed you?"
With that, the shower door was opened.
William squatted there, his clothes had long been drenched by the water, "You will still feel uncomfortable."
He looked at her like a child looking at an adult.
Alice looked at him in a daze, not knowing what to say.
"I'm not angry with you. I'm angry with myself."
William said, his eyes dimmed as he reached out to shut the door again.
Alice immediately reached her hands out and grabbed him, her wrist was squeezed between by the door, before she could even feel the pain, William had already opened the door, staring at her, "Alice, what are you doing?"
She didn't want her hand anymore?
"William." Alice looked at him intently, "Let's take this thorn out together and forget about it."
"You won't forget."
William stared at her and revealed the truth with a single sentence.
Hearing that, Alice's gaze dimmed. That's right, loyalty was more important between two people than love, how could she forget about it so easily?
But what could she do if she couldn't forget? Abandon him? She couldn't do it either.
She pursed her lips and whispered, "I will do my best."
William squatted in the shower room as he tightly clenched his fist. After a while, he said, "I can give Alice anything she wants, but I can't reverse the past."
Alice squatted outside and hugged herself tightly.
She also wanted to reverse the past, so William wouldn't suffer.
"Give me your thorn." William suddenly said as he looked at her with a serious expression.
He made a decision as he clenched his fists tightly.
"What?"
Alice looked at him, puzzled.
"Let Daniel find you seven men too," William said while gnashing his teeth. After thinking for a while, he refused to do it again."No, one man will do."
Hearing that, Alice's sad mood instantly turned into endless rage, she stood up and stared at William angrily, "William, are you crazy? You want me to sleep with other men?"
