The second month after Obon, Kaohsiung flew in from Canada again. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 After checking into the hotel, he called me and asked me if I was free to come over and go to the restaurant on the third floor of the hotel to have a nine-square steam pot together. He said the meatball soup there is famous, and the chef is also a three-Michelin star.

When I arrived at the hotel, I saw Kaohsiung dressed in the lobby waiting for me. He said that he had booked a quiet private room upstairs.

Through the steaming steaming pot, Kaohsiung picked up the spoon and stirred it in the soup. He scooped up a huge ball. He put the ball in the bowl in front of me.

He bared his teeth across from me and ate with a grin.

I watched him eat so happily that I couldn't help but say, "It's really contagious." Girls who want to lose weight must be distressed to eat with you. ”

He heard the sound and showed two rows of white teeth, and made an exaggerated silent laugh expression.

"Good news for you." He slurred his words as he swirled the hot balls on his tongue.

He looked at me through the steamer.

He said to me through his mouthful full of food, "I got married last week. ”

His eyes were like searchlights staring at every fluctuation in my face.

I looked down at the soup boiling in the steamer.

I said, "When?" ”

"Last Wednesday," he said. ”

I was surprised, "Why didn't you inform me?" ”

Kaohsiung said: "What would you do if you were notified? Flying over the North Pole or the Pacific Ocean to congratulate? Or are you secretly sad? ”

I said, "Of course, do what your friend .....does."

He interrupted me. He said, "Forget it." ”

He said: "Whether you come to congratulate or secretly sad, I can't stand it." So, I decided to be kind to myself and save you some energy to perform. ”

I said, "It's a strange way to think." Since I wasn't notified at the wedding, let's say congratulations now. ”

Kaohsiung smiled and said, "Thank you." ”

I said, "Who are you marrying?" ”

Kaohsiung said: "It's that Sue." ”

I said, "Didn't you say you didn't like her?" It was she who took the initiative to pester you and chase after you. ”

Kaohsiung said: "After all, she is very beautiful, has a temperament, is still a celebrity, and does not covet my money." As a marriage partner, this is rare. ”

I said, "Oh." ”

Kaohsiung said: "Moreover, she is almost 32 years old, and if she doesn't marry, she won't be able to marry any serious person." I can't die without help. ”

I said, "Did you say that to her when you proposed?" ”

Kaohsiung said: "Of course not. Ever since I met you, I have come to understand more and more that you can't tell the truth to women no matter what. - At the very least, don't tell the truth until you put on your tempered shoes. ”

My face flushed. I said, "After so many years, you still have it in your heart, and you can't forget it?" ”

Kaohsiung said: "I have never forgotten your affairs. ”

I quickly digressed from the subject.

I said, "You just got married last Wednesday, shouldn't you be on your honeymoon now?" How did you get here? ”

Kaohsiung said: "We didn't have a honeymoon. ”

I said, "It's not good for you to do that." ”

Kaohsiung said: "The conscience of heaven and earth, I didn't leave her. It was she who left me behind and went alone to participate in the new product launch of Milan Fashion Week. ”

I said, "The time of Milan Fashion Week has been set for a long time, why do you have to be in such a hurry and can't you get married at another time?" ”

Kaohsiung said: "I am also forced to be helpless. ”

I said, "Who persecuted you?" ”

Kaohsiung said, "You." ”

I was surprised: "Me? ”

Kaohsiung said: "Because I can't let you get married before me." ”

He said, "I have to get married before you." ”

He said, "Then you can, with peace of mind, marry whoever you want to marry." And I'm not too faceless. ”

I said, "What kind of thinking path are yours?" It's weird. ”

Kaohsiung said: "Xinxin, for so many years, you have always misunderstood me deeply. Listen. I don't have to chase you and marry you. I don't want that. I've never wanted that. I've been there for you, not to marry you, although sometimes I say that to put you at ease. ”

I said, "So what do you want?" ”

Kaohsiung said: "There is nothing to hope for. I just can't leave you alone. I just can't leave you alone. ”

I used a spoon to split the large balls that Takohsiung stuffed into my bowl in two, then four and four into eight.

I bowed my head and ate.

Kaohsiung said: "Do you still have a holiday this year?" ”

I said, "Yes." ”

Kaohsiung said, "Come to my house as a guest." We bought a villa in Windermere Lakes and a castle in Germany. Go wherever you want. Come to my house for a few days. ”

I said, "Around Easter, maybe you can take a vacation." ”

Kaohsiung said, "Su knows you. She's glad you're here. She invites you to be a guest. ”

I said, "Okay." I will go to Sue and congratulate you in person. raise your eyebrows and give birth to a noble son early. ”

Kaohsiung stared at my face. I felt a chill down my spine, and I felt very uncomfortable being looked at by him.

He said, "You don't have a ripple in your heart. ”

I said, "What do you mean?" ”

He said: "When you hear the good news of my marriage, you really don't have a ripple in your heart. ”

I said, "What ripple do you want?" ”

He said, "No." I don't want any ripples. I'm just a little sad for myself, that's all. ”

I fished another large ball out of the pot and put it in his bowl.

I said, "Eat another meatball, and you'll be in a better mood." ”

Kaohsiung looked at the ball.

He picked up the ball and shoved it into his mouth.

He chewed loudly and said to me, "Well, as you wish." At least, the food, not to be disappointed by the food. ”

Kaohsiung got married like this.

Two months later, I also put on my wedding dress and got married.

In this way, we embarked on different paths in life.

After the wedding, I was greatly relieved.

Now that they're all in the boat, he's not going to chase after me anymore. We can finally relax and start a real friendship and become real business partners. You can do something tangible with a calm and relaxed mind.

On public vacation that year, I was invited to go to the castle that Kaohsiung had bought in Germany. The castle is built next to a mountain lake, surrounded by a sea of vertical vegetation of coniferous and broad-leaved forests, with a view of a snow-capped peak in the Alps.

There, I met the beautiful and charming Sue. She is dignified and generous, knowledgeable, courteous, thoughtful, elegant, and full of intellectual beauty.

I looked at her, and it was hard to imagine what kind of enthusiasm she used to make Kaohsiung have a real soft pity.

When she speaks, Kaohsiung often focuses on her.

Although Kaohsiung has always denied that he likes Sue in his heart, I think that this may not be the case.

She is quite important in Kaohsiung's heart, at least, quite important.

Kaohsiung sometimes treats her badly, and that's because Kaohsiung doesn't want people to see his true heart.

He often uses rude and rude ways to hide his deep heart, true tenderness.

I'm all too familiar with his approach.

He doesn't like to expose tenderness, because he feels that that softness, exposed, will make him very unsafe.

He didn't want to go through the grief of M's death again.
