034 Love of Bamboo Horses

Looking at the dishes on the table that are full of color and aroma and should be good, Cai Yue's mood is rising again.

"What an appetite."

Listening to Cai Yue's words, the man's face actually showed a subtle smile. Cai Yue just looked up at the man.

"You're pretty handsome when you laugh, why don't you laugh a little more, can't you just laugh if a man isn't cool?"

"I'm not pretending to be cool, I don't laugh because there's nothing to laugh at."

"I don't think there's nothing to laugh at, it's that you don't have the motives to find and experience fun, I don't think you look like a miserable person, there are a lot of people in this world who are worse than you, and people don't laugh well." Cai Yue was very unimpressed by the man's words.

The man was not silent this time, and after a pause of a few seconds, he replied, "Maybe."

"Come, you've worked so hard to cook, eat more." Cai Yue put a chopstick dish into the man's bowl.

"Thank you." The man was obviously not used to such intimate behavior, and he looked at Caiyue in surprise.

"Look at what I'm doing, eat, I'm not a dish, I can't eat it."

The man wanted to reply with something like "beautiful and delicious", but remembered that his casual ridicule last time had caused Cai Yue to teach him a cruel lesson, so he swallowed the words, and the two began to enjoy a sumptuous and delicious dinner.

After eating, Caiyue began to clean up the dishes and chopsticks." You're still hurt, go sit on the couch and rest for a while, I'll be on my own."

The man sat alone on the sofa and came out of the bowl after washing the dishes.

Cai Yue tilted her head and looked at the man: "What are you doing in a daze."

The man came back to his senses from his stunnedness, but he didn't answer Caiyue's words.

"Do you want to watch TV for a while?" Caiyue began to perform the duties of a hostess.

"Don't look."

"So what are we going to do?"

The man looked up at Cai Yue, who wanted to say something and stopped. He wanted to say: A man and a woman are together, what do you say is good, but this woman is mad if she doesn't say well, and he doesn't want her to be angry.

"You've been at home for a day, do you want to go for a walk?" Cai Yue asked again.

"Don't."

"Then I'll turn on the TV and watch it by myself, you watch it with me, okay?"

"Hmm."

So Caiyue turned on the TV, chose a historical drama to watch, and teased the man from time to time while watching. The man was either silent or "um".Caiyue felt very bored.Thinking of "Yan" There were still some things to deal with.So I went into the room and made a few calls.After making the call, I returned to the living room.The man was still a dull and unrighteous look.

Cai Yue picked up the TV remote control and changed to the station of a variety show.Watching the interaction between the host and Jiabin on the TV.Cai Yue was amused and laughed.The man was expressionless all the time.

"Hey, no one owes you a million and won't pay it back, why do you keep crying?" Cai Yue no longer watched TV and turned her head to look at the man.

"Do I have it?"

She immediately took out a small mirror from the drawer and brought it to the man.

"See for yourself, if you're crying."

The man glanced at himself in the mirror and turned his head to look at Caiyue: "Why are you showing me this?"

"Let's see for yourself, be happy."

"What's the fun going on?"

"Is there anything unhappy about that?"

The man is silent again.

"Okay, I won't ask you, it's your business whether you're happy or not."

Caiyue put the mirror back in its place, continued to watch TV, laughed from time to time, and the man sat like that, didn't laugh or watch TV, but didn't leave.

"Someone else in your family?" Caiyue broke the silence and began to ask questions again.

"Grandma, mom and dad, and younger siblings."

"I really envy you, I have so many relatives, is your family in the countryside, don't you need family planning?"

Men didn't react for a while, what a plan, family planning, and childbirth.

Seeing that the man looked dazed, Caiyue didn't plan to talk about this boring question, so she asked again, "Do you have a lover?"

"Yes."

Cai Yue frowned: "What do you mean, you broke up."

The man was silent again.

"I'm sorry, did I ask again what I shouldn't have asked?"

"It's nothing.

"Can you tell me about that?" Cai Yue looked at the man cautiously.

The man looked at Cai Yue as well, and after a while, he began to look under the coffee table.

"What are you looking for?"

"Is there any smoke?"

"Nope."

"Doesn't your lover smoke?"

"He doesn't smoke, he has coffee, do you want me to make you a drink?"

"Okay."

So Cai Yue got up and made a cup of coffee, brought it over, and handed it to the coffee table in front of the man.

The man watched as the heat of the coffee in the cup slowly rose and slowly dissipated, and began to recall in his mind those memories that had slowly drifted away with the years.

"She and I grew up together, for some reason, we didn't have any friends, she was just me, I was just her, we went to and from school together, we did homework together, we played together." The man began to speak, and a gleam appeared in his eyes, as if he had seen his lover's childhood figure again.

The glitter in the man's eyes immediately attracted Caiyue, and she believed that what he was going to tell must be a story that was both romantic and somewhat poignant.

"She's beautiful, she's sensible, she's very good to me, and I've said to myself since I've been sensible, she's the woman I'm going to marry.

Her father was a gambler and an alcoholic, and he often gambled and lost money, and when he got drunk, he would take pleasure of women and children, and she and her brother and even her mother were often beaten up and bruised.

We didn't live far apart, just a few alleys, and then one time when her dad was about to beat her again, she really ran to my house as I said, and her dad chased me all the way to my house, and I grabbed a kitchen knife from the kitchen and rushed to her dad. her dad ran away in fright. I ran after him and yelled at him, "If he dares to hit her and her mother again, I'll kill him."

"How old were you then?"

"It's less than 12 years old."

"You dare to do that and say that before you are 12 years old." Cai Yue's eyes widened, looking at the man like a monster. This man was obviously a precocious man, and he found a place where he was similar to Xiao Tian, but he was not an orphan.

The man didn't think it was a big deal or abnormal for him to do something like that at 12 years old.

After a pause, Caiyue asked, "Then your girlfriend must love you to death."

The man didn't answer directly, but he said something else: "She's a poor person." The man lowered his head as he said this.

"What happened then?"

"Then we grew up, she became one of the most beautiful women in our place, and many people went to their house to propose marriage, no matter what the other party proposed, she didn't agree, she wanted to marry me, but I was just a poor boy at the time, and I knew that his father would never agree to marry her to me anyway.

We were a small place there, and a poor boy like me had to go to a big place if he wanted to get ahead, so we agreed to let her wait for me for five years, and when I got out, I would go back to my hometown and find her, and she was 16 and I was 17."

The man took another sip of coffee, but he could see that he was not in the mood to taste coffee at all.

Cai Yue believes that this man must be a man with a very good story, because he is obviously not a poor boy now, which can only be seen from the way he is dressed and his temperament.

"We are very congested there, transportation and communication are very inconvenient, only the village chief's house has a telephone, so we rarely contact, I always remember our five-year appointment, I work very hard, my boss appreciates me, I think our future will be better and better."

The man's voice was slightly agitated.

"One night, more than half a year after I left my hometown, I suddenly received a call from her, she said that she was going to come to me immediately, not to delay a minute, I don't know how she found me alone when she had never been far away, anyway, she did find me the next night.

She was terrible and gaunt, covered in wounds, I thought her dad had beaten her again, and she said that I was going to go back to her dad to settle the score.

I let her lean on my arms like that, let her vent her sadness, and then she was tired of crying, so I took her to find a small restaurant to eat, and she said that she had finally come to a big place, and I really wanted to see what the night view of the big place was like, so we took a taxi to the highest building in the place, and I took her to the top of the building.

She said that the night view of the big city is really beautiful, that is, the stars in the sky are not as bright as those of her hometown, and that her greatest wish since childhood is to marry me, to be my bride, and that I must look good as a groom. She smiled sweetly, and then fell asleep in my arms.

We've never been so close to each other, and I saw her sleeping so soundly and smiling so sweetly, and I got up, and I was running outside every day, and I was working hard during the day, so I hugged her and fell asleep."

The man looked a little excited when he said this, so he took another sip of coffee, and then continued, and he said the next story in detail, every line of dialogue and even his expression was very clear, so that Caiyue's mind clearly simulated the picture at that time.
