Chapter 9: Captivity

The days of waiting for marriage are always long, staying at home every day, doing the same things, eating the same fruits. Although I was willing to sacrifice my freedom for happiness, after a long time, the freedom that I had abandoned found me again.

"Christao, is there any fun out there?"

I can't go out, but I like to ask Krista about what's going on outside the door. I wish I could still get some earthly smells.

"Want to hang out?"

The wise Christao could see through my careful thoughts every time, and every time she blinked her long eyelashes-wrapped eyes and pierced my heart.

"It's... It's so boring to be at home..."

"However, Mr. Ouyang will not allow you to go out."

Although Christao wanted to take me out to see the things outside, she could only sigh helplessly because of Ouyang Ze's order.

"You can call your friends in China and communicate with them."

Chris said to me as he peeled the grapes for me.

In the U.S., it's not hard to get a big, juicy red grape, but I've always liked to eat only grapes, and only Chinese grapes. In order to satisfy my greedy mouth, Ouyang Ze specially bought grapes from Turpan and airlifted them to his home.

In the cold winter, tasting the grapes grown on the soil in the warm house, well~ How many people dream of life on such days!

"Yes."

I took a pale green grape from the crystal plate and stuffed it into my mouth, the sweet and sour feeling seemed to bring me back to Turpan, China, and the juice splashed out of it exuded the faint fragrance of grapes.

"Hello? Xu Shaohui? ”

Now I am like a broad wife who has been raised, leaning cross-legged on the back of the sofa, enjoying the maid peeling grapes for me, and this life makes my voice a little soft.

"Yo, this voice, tsk, it's cool in the United States!"

On the other end of the phone, Xu Shaohui also learned my voice and teased me.

"How? That kid didn't bully you, did he? ”

"No, he was very nice to me, he just wouldn't let me go out."

I picked up another one from the plate full of "green pearls" and stuffed it into my mouth.

Christao didn't speak, and her four fingers were soaked in grape juice, and her red nails were stained with green juice.

"Why?"

"Let me enjoy it at home~"

I softened an octave and said.

Chriss' hand paused, but then she continued to peel the grapes...

Chatting with Xu Shaohui makes me feel like I'm still on the surface of the earth, and I still feel like I'm still alive in the world. After a long period of confinement, I finally smelled the smell of the world again from the phone.

"How's Leman?"

Although I no longer have contact with Li Man, after all, we are former friends, and I still can't help but ask Xu Shaohui about her current situation.

"She's been gone since you left, and I don't know where she went..."

Disappear? Where can Li Man go without a job? She has so few friends, who can she rely on? I don't know any of this...

After nearly three hours of talking, Xu Shaohui's voice became weaker and weaker, and there were more and more grape skins in the trash can next to me. Finally, at 3 p.m. in the U.S. and 3 a.m. in China, the voice on the other end of the phone was replaced by a busy tone, and my empty stomach was filled with grape pulp.

Even though we talked for a long time, I still felt empty inside. Maybe I've lost my freedom, and I've lost my happiness at the same time...

"Husband, I want to go out and take a walk..."

At the dinner table, I finally brought up the idea of going out again, because I really couldn't stand this never-ending life after being at home for so long.

"Where to go? Why don't I walk around with you in a moment? The view is nice. ”

The knife and fork in Ouyang Ze's hand still slid on the beef on the plate, without even raising his head.

"I want to go downtown..."

Hearing me say this, his hand froze in mid-air, and the mouth of the beef he was chewing stopped moving.

"Shall we go back in a few days? I'll go with you in a few days. ”

Although Ouyang Ze on the other side of the table was smiling, that false smile always made me feel uncomfortable.

The knife and fork in his hand had not been put down, the metal hanging in the air reflected the light of the chandelier, and although I was still four or five meters away from the knife and fork in his hand sitting at the other end of the table, there was always a feeling that he would immediately throw the knife at me.

"Christao can come with me..."

I deliberately kept it low, for fear that I would anger him because of one sentence, and then force him to poke the knife in my hand into my heart.

"She's busy every day and doesn't have time to play with you."

Although I knew that it was his lie, and I knew that he deliberately didn't want me to let me out, I could only pretend to believe it.

Sometimes, it's better not to pierce this window paper.

"Oh well... After dinner, go out for a walk with me. ”

I can't go shopping in the city center for a while, but I don't want to miss this rare opportunity to go out. Although going out to breathe is not as fun as going to the city center, it is a good choice compared to staying at home...

After eating, I was ready to go out, but Ouyang Ze still sat lazily on the sofa and looked at the newspaper in his hand, without the slightest intention of going out.

"Husband, let's go, let's go out for a walk."

I tugged at his arm and tried to pull him up from the couch, but my strength was not as tempting as the couch cushion, and his ass was still clinging to the couch cushion and not moving a bit.

"Okay, wait."

He was still frowning at the contents of the newspaper, not noticing the impatient expression on my face that was already waiting at the moment.

He sat on the sofa and waited for another two hours, until the sky outside had changed from dark blue to jet black, and the bright moon had begun to gradually move westward, and Ouyang Ze began to move his buttocks, which had been clinging to the sofa for two hours.

"Let's go, let's go out."

Ouyang Ze said to me with a sleepy smile.

Looking at his lazy appearance really made me angry, but I didn't say much, after all, he was also for work, and I could only wait for him to make time for me with an "understanding" mentality.

He could see my troubles, and he seemed to have guessed what I was doing and looked sad. So, he also pretended to smile and apologized to me.

"Rui Rui, I was wrong. Although it was late, the scenery outside was still very good! ”

Looking at his hippie smiling face, I really couldn't cry or laugh, but I could only forgive him for delaying this behavior.

He's right, although it's late, the scenery outside is still the same, and I can still enjoy it.
