Chapter 6: Talking about Marriage: Surprise 2
Xiaolong looked at Tian Tian like that, and Tian Tian looked at Xiaolong like that. It was the first time they had looked at each other for so long. From Tian Tian's eyes, Xiaolong saw the expressiveness of her eyes.
If her eyes were a work of art, then what he saw was the value hidden behind the artwork. She also reads his eyes like a book, hoping to taste joys and sorrows, love and hatred.
"Your eyes are beautiful, like clear lake water. There is love and tenderness in your gaze, just like your person. Xiaolong suddenly said to Tian Tian, maybe he had realized that it was rude to stare at a girl for a long time, and wanted to use this to avoid the embarrassment that he would have, maybe he just sincerely wanted to praise her eyes.
His words were full of warmth and poetry, and even Xiaolong himself later recalled how he could say such standard words at that time. She felt for a moment what seemed to be the amorous poet Byron reciting a psalm in front of her.
Hearing Xiaolong's praise, Tian Tian smiled at him, which was regarded as a reward for him. She also said to him something meaningful about his eyes: "There are vicissitudes and confidence in your gaze. It is a pair of eyes that have gone through countless ups and downs and still do not lose confidence in life. ”
"Where did you see it?" Xiaolong felt that the topic he had just talked about with Tian Tian was a little inappropriate, as if it was a pair of lovers talking about love, so he changed the conversation and asked her about reading.
"Just finished watching the first part. I think you're a lot like one of the guys in the book. ”
"Who?"
"Sun Shaoping is both strong and unyielding, but also affectionate and righteous. ”
"I also think you're a lot like one of the people in the book. ”
"Who?"
Tian Tian smiled as soon as he finished speaking. Xiaolong laughed too. Not only did they use the same vocabulary when they asked the question just now, but even the tone of their speech and the expressions on their faces were almost identical, just like they had what people often call husband and wife, but they are not even boyfriend and girlfriend until now. Both laughed at it.
"Tian Xiaoxia has good looks, good temperament, culture, and love. She and Sun Shaoping are such a good pair!" Xiaolong felt speechless as soon as he finished speaking. Tian Tian said that he was like Sun Shaoping. Wasn't he saying this again to show Tian Tian his love for her? Therefore, he lowered his head and did not dare to meet Tian Tian's gaze.
Tian Tian also seemed to hear the off-string sound in Xiaolong's words, and it was like a stimulus touching the sharpest nerves, and his face suddenly flushed. Both of them stopped talking, and fell into unprecedented embarrassment.
"Are they really together in the end?" Tian Tian plucked up his courage and broke the silence.
"Nope. Xiaoxia gave her life to save people in a rainstorm. They didn't end up together. ”
"It's a pity, it's a pity......" Tian Tian fell into indescribable sadness again, as if her love had been destroyed.
Xiaolong returned to the bedroom, turned on the light in the room, and the dark room suddenly lit up. His heart also brightened up a lot and warmed a lot at once. He snapped into the big mirror hanging on the wall, with his head and his eyes in it.
The closer he got to it, the clearer his appearance was in front of him. He finally walked to the mirror and stared at himself in the mirror, just like staring at himself in Tian Tian's eyes.
The more Xiaolong looked at it, the more he felt that the expression and gaze he looked at Tian Tian at that time were like those presented in the mirror, his expression was solemn and focused, and his eyes were full of affection, just like what he said when he praised Tian Tian's eyes, full of love and tenderness.
He felt like he was on a pilgrimage in the mirror, and he couldn't help but smile. This smile reminded him of Tian Tian's smile again. He was amazed to find that their laughter was also surprisingly similar.
It has been said that philosophy originated from surprise. What about love?
