My Wife Woke Up Eighteen — And I Decided To Court Her Anew

I, Chen Mo, lived with my wife Su Niannian for three years and knew her by heart: she pulled the blanket to herself, teased me, and washed my AirPods Pro without a word. But then, overnight, she curled up at the edge of the bed like a kitten and started apologizing for the burnt scrambled eggs.

I went through all the oddities: she flinches at touches, blushes up to her neck, messages me on WeChat like a stranger, scrolls Weibo on her iPad. And then I found her school QQ—and a post that chilled me to the bone: "Woke up—ten years passed. The class slacker is now my husband."

I decided to say nothing and court her anew—with movies, a horror flick, and peach oolong tea. But what is she hiding when she says: "I need to tell you something"? And how will it all end if I continue to pretend I know nothing?
