“What are you doing?” Lily could not help but blame Alexander for making her pluck off the leaf. She could not bear to throw it away.
“Isn’t it just a pot of Agar…wood? How could you like it so much until I no longer exist?” Alexander shoved his face into hers as if he worried she could not see him.
Lily was surprised and burst out laughing despite herself. ‘What’s the matter with this man? He has gotten jealous of other men, women, and even our son. Now he’s getting jealous of a plant?! He has to be the King of Jealousy throughout the entire universe!’
“What are you saying? Didn’t I ask you to come over when you reached home just now?” She said laughingly and teasingly as she held the leaf to his nose. “Take a sniff. Doesn’t it smell nice?”
He did so and nodded. “Now that I exist, can you tell what’s different about me today?”
Hearing this, Lily pulled herself slightly away and looked him up and down. She knitted her brow and thought seriously. She did not find anything different about him, but she ventured to answer to not disappoint him. “You cut your hair!”
Alexander was speechless. ‘What the hell? I’ve been so busy lately that I don’t even have time to cut my hair, and it’s long enough to begin to cover my ear. How could she think I had cut my hair? Did I have long hair before this?’
“No!” He looked disappointed.
“You changed your necktie!” Lily made another guess.
“No!” Alexander stopped her, deciding not to let her continue. “Look.” He cocked his head and showed her his long neck. The reddish mark on his neck looked striking as he had a great body and smooth skin.
