So Ordinary I Want to Be Recognized

As a result, today's anniversary... I skipped it like this again.

Anxiety and resentment are of course there.

but...

She is not the kind of person who makes trouble out of no reason.

The husband is the main source of income for the family.

Because the work is relatively easy, her salary is not high, and she can only deal with daily expenses such as purchasing items.

And other large expenses, such as the daughter's education expenses, the house loan, and the family's water and electricity bills...all weighed on this man's shoulders like a mountain.

He really couldn't free up his hands to think about these unnecessary things for them.

If it's not forced by life, who wouldn't want to be an emotional person?

He's... good enough.

So, be a little gentler to him today, it can be regarded as...a memorial for myself.

Just as she was thinking wildly while preparing for a late-night snack...

There was the sound of a key being inserted into the lock.It seemed that her husband had returned.

If it was normal, she might complain softly, such as "why is it so late again", "drink so much again".

but...

Today, she just walked quickly to the entrance, took the briefcase from his hand, and helped him take off the coat that smelled of alcohol and women's perfume.

"Are you back? Thank you for your hard work. I have prepared supper and hangover soup. Let's eat some."

As if sensing her different attitude than usual, her husband was slightly taken aback.

After that, the man who was no longer young just kept silent, followed his wife to the dining table and sat down.

"I'm going to get the stuff out."

Shortly after saying this...

The housewife sat back at the table and watched him eat the stomach-warming food in front of him bit by bit.

"Did you call your girlfriend with your colleagues again today?"

"Hmm... socializing. However, I didn't do anything out of line." The taciturn husband rarely emphasized this point.

If it was usual, she might feel a little awkward in her heart, but at this moment...

"I know." She just smiled lightly.

Immediately after...

"I'm going to turn on the water and take a good bath?" She suggested like this.

"it is good."

After getting an agreed answer, she stood up and ran to the bathroom.

After filling the bathtub with warm water, she returned to the table again, ready to clean up the mess he left when he finished eating and took a shower.

She propped her cheeks and stared at the way he was eating, and she also let out a long sigh of relief.

Although the figure of the man in front of him has gradually developed towards a slightly fatter direction, his hair has also gradually become greasy, and he is no longer as energetic as before.

However, seeing him still eating the food she prepared with relish, she couldn't help thinking of their past.

Back then, on the roof of the school.

She sat beside him in the same way, watching him gobble up the love bento she had prepared.

And after eating the food in the lunch box, he still put on a look of disgust, pressed her against the wall, and said with certainty that he wanted an extra meal...

Then...

Thinking of this, her face gradually turned red.

And just then...

As if he had finished eating, the man gently put down the tableware in his hand.

"Ah, go take a shower! You've been tired all day, and it's time to relax and take a rest!" Waking up, she quickly stood up.

"Well, but..." The man who agreed suddenly fell into a deep thought.

"what happened?"

"That..." Under her gaze, he scratched his head in a little bewilderment.

Then...

He opened the briefcase on the dining table, and carefully took out...

A single rose.

Then...

He who was no longer young showed a shy smile, and handed over the gift in his hand.
