We didn't have a grand wedding.We just quietly got the marriage certificate and had a wedding banquet with our close relatives and friends in our hometown.
After getting married,we went on a trip together and traveled for half a year.
Since the day we got married,Kevin Li and I hadn't kissed each other.
I asked him in 108 different ways every day,and his answer was always the same.
If I didn't want to bear the pain of childbirth myself,then I shouldn't kiss him.
The due date was very accurate.On the day of the delivery,I anxiously waited outside the delivery room.
Kevin Li's mom and my mom each held my hand and silently prayed for the safety of both the mother and the baby.Strangely enough,I even heard my mom muttering some odd things.
She said things like"Daughters are so great.You don't have to experience the pain of being separated from your own flesh and blood,"and"You'll be able to go back soon."I didn't hear very clearly.
Finally,the doctor came out and told us that both the mother and the baby were safe.
I rushed in to see Kevin Li,who had just come through a life-and-death situation.
He was extremely weak,as if he had just been fished out of water.His bangs were damp with sweat,and his face was filled with exhaustion.He was so weak that he could barely speak.
"You've been through so much.Everything is okay now."After saying that,I gently placed a kiss on his pale lips.
He tried to stop me,but he didn't even have the strength to raise his hand.
In an instant,everything went dark before my eyes,and I felt as if my whole being was being pulled out.
Then,in just a second,everything in front of me became clear and bright again.
The pain of feeling as if my whole body had been broken apart spread throughout my body.
I finally understood why Kevin Li had asked me to sign that strange and unequal agreement.
Because of that kiss just now,we had swapped back.
At this moment,I was back in my own body,lying on the hospital bed.I glared at Kevin Li,who looked worried,feeling both angry and amused.
"Why did you let me kiss you so soon?The confinement period isn't going to be pleasant."
Although I was a bit annoyed because of his concealment,all my annoyance vanished because of his words.
Because of him,I had become the happiest woman in the world.
I beckoned with my finger,and he leaned in closer.I said weakly,
"Honey,thank you.I love you."
