First Tickles in Marriage

share time: 2026-02-26 12:38:03

After three years of marriage, Lin Xiaoman always complains her marriage is like “lukewarm water”—her programmer husband Gu Yanzhi only has code in his eyes, forgets anniversaries completely, and doesn’t even notice her new air bangs. Until she reunites with her former school grass crush at a class reunion; his line “You’re still the little crier from back then” makes her heart skip a beat. Meanwhile, a message “I’ll wait for you if you work overtime tonight” from an unknown number pops up on Gu Yanzhi’s phone, leaving her panicking. When this “first tickle” becomes a thorn in her heart, Lin Xiaoman finds something unexpected while going through Gu Yanzhi’s computer: his code hides an “algorithm for Xiaoman’s breakfast temperature,” his memo has a “third-anniversary proposal replication plan,” and he even secretly learned to make her favorite strawberry cake. It turns out all the “woodenness” she complained about was love woven into every “unnoticed” detail. This “first tickle” isn’t a crack in their marriage—it’s the start of them seeing each other again.
