Chapter 40: The Taste of Happiness
The afternoon dusk is full of laziness, the sun, the wind, are so gentle, even the fallen leaves in the wind are leisurely floating in the air and do not want to fall.
Angel and I walked side by side on the deep path, but barely spoke, as if neither of us was used to being a couple with each other.
"I can't walk, you carry me." Angel stopped where she was, unwilling to move any further.
I looked at her, wearing high heels that were not easy to walk, and sure enough, she couldn't walk.
I crouched down and motioned for her to come up, and as before, she jumped on top of me with great speed, pestering me with great speed.
"Strangled me, are you a serpent?" I complained, but I felt a sense of happiness in my heart that I had never felt before.
Angel giggled: "Strangled you, and no one will make me angry anymore." β
"You're so poisonous, you rushed back from France to strangle me, is my life worth spending so much on the road?" I asked with a smile, but I was afraid that she would be uncomfortable lying on her stomach, so I entrusted her and changed her to a more comfortable position.
"If you die, I will die with you!" Angel whispered in my ear.
There is an inexplicable feeling in my heart, when a woman is willing to live and die with you, no man is unmoved, even if it is really dead at this moment, I am willing.
.......
The mountain road was rugged, I walked very hard, in the late autumn slightly chilly evening, my face was still densely covered with fine sweat, with a fragrant hand slid over my face, and then wiped off the sweat, Angel asked me softly, "Are you tired?" β
At this moment, my heart is overflowing with tenderness: "Carrying my whole world, of course I am tired!" β
Angel was silent, and then her face pressed against me, and I felt her tears overflowing between our faces, and she was moved by my words.
There was a sudden pain in my neck, and she bit me again....... In pain, we instinctively grabbed her legs, and she struggled, and I struggled, and we both fell to the ground.......
We looked at each other, there were tears on her face, I approached her and held her in my arms, we didn't need words at this moment, we both understood that this was how we showed love for each other, she bit me, I pinched her.
After staring at me for a long time, we laughed out loud again, and Angel beat me: "Why don't you know pity at all? β
"You bite me first."
"Then you're going to pinch me?"
"That's how we all called."
Angel gave me a blank look, but I hugged her tighter: "We'll fight like this for the rest of our lives, is it okay?" β
Angel turned around and hugged me: "My son won't let you bully me like this!" β
"My daughter still doesn't let you bite me like this, how painful!"
Anqi said with a leap of thought: "Then we will have a boy and a girl in the future, okay?" β
I pretended to be incredulous and said, "A man and a woman? You've thought so far ahead, it's so rogue! β
If other women might have been ashamed to speak, but Angel wouldn't, she glared and asked, "What, don't you want to?" β
I was afraid that I would be too ridiculed, so I hurriedly replied according to my own thoughts: "Yes, always ready." β
"Always ready? If you want to be beautiful, marry me, and you will help you give birth to a baby. β
I have no words, married her? For me, what a distant three words, I dare not think, at least now I dare not think! I can't even tell her that the matter between me and Chen Qingyi is almost to the point where it is difficult to ride a tiger.
Angel fell into silence with me, but the evening sun fell softly on us, a few leaves dancing in the air, finally swaying tired, also fell around us, all static beauty, rendering the wordlessness between us.
........
I got up, bent down and said to Angel, "Let's go, go and sit at the foot of the mountain, where the dusk will be more beautiful."
Angel nodded, and lay on top of me again, at this moment she was docile, quiet, quiet not like her.
There was a lot of gravel on the road, and I stumbled forward, but the road was not long, but it was so difficult, and this difficulty came from the fact that I carried my whole world on my shoulders.
At this moment I really hope that I don't want to know what the hurt is, it's better to talk and laugh and not be sad.......
.........
Finally we came to the foot of the mountain, and Angel snuggled up in my arms and watched the sunset fade.
Angel was tired, she closed her eyes gently, I carefully laid her body flat, let her pill on my lap, and took off my coat to help him put it on.
I lit a cigarette and let the smell and melancholy of tobacco accompany me, and I looked up and exhaled the smoke in my mouth, and I felt a sense of unreality again, even if Angel was asleep beside me at the moment.
I wish I could be eternity at this moment, but I know that everything in front of me may be more like a mirror.
Angel was very quiet in her sleep, my hand brushed her face gently, and my nose was a little sour........ I know that she has come back from France, and she has rushed here despite her fatigue, for the sake of my me, "I have a heart!" β
I leaned down and kissed her on the cheek, I didn't have any blasphemy at the moment, it was purely instinctive to get close to her.
Our lips drew closer, kissed together, I was wrapped in a warm and faint sweetness, it was our first kiss, kissing, my brain was even blank, mechanical greed for this inextricable happiness.
........
It was getting dark and the wind was getting a little stronger, so Angel sat on my lap and gazed together at the beauty of the oil painting in front of us.
"I really wish time could stand still in this moment." I said with some wistfulness.
I know that time is never forbidden, and in contrast to the quiet of the present, what awaits us may be a storm.
Angel smiled and leaned into my arms again, she may be full of security at the moment.
"Yixi, how long are you going to stay here?" Angel asked me.
"It's not going to be gone this year."
Angel looked up at me: "What will happen after that, have you thought about it?" β
"Together."
Angel had a smile on her face and seemed to have made a decision: "I will finish all the work on the French side this year, and return to China at the beginning of next year, and we will ......."
"We can live together, right?"
"Would you like to?"
"Willing........ But have you considered the families on both sides of us? β
Angel shook her head and said, "No, love is for two people, what does it have to do with family?" β
Actually, I know Angel, she has always done her own thing, but in the face of such a big event as marriage, does her family really allow her to do her own thing? I'm such a civilian, after all!
Moreover, the image of Chen Qingyi as my fiancΓ©e has been ingrained in the hearts of my family, will they calmly accept the sudden appearance of Angel?
The unknown, too many unknowns, constitute my current melancholy, in the melancholy I light a cigarette for myself, and in the smoke, I can't see through the foggy future.
Who can give me a piece of translucency?
.......
"It's getting dark, let's go back." I nudged Angel, who was leaning on my shoulder.
Angel didn't leave my body, looked at me and said, "You're a little unhappy. β
"Something on your mind."
"I've come back to you, can you talk to me about your heart now?"
I took another deep breath, brewing the emotions of the narrative. It took a lot of courage for me to tell Angel Chen Qingyi and my family.
Angel looked at me with beautiful eyes, waiting for my narration........
Whether it will be a torrential rain or calm after a while, I can't guess!
