I bowed my head and drank my tea. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
After a while, Kaohsiung said, "Why don't you speak." β
I said, "It's time for the hostess to come back." β
Kaohsiung said: "I don't call her, she won't come back." β
I said, "Brother Kaohsiung." β
Kaohsiung said: "What? β
I said, "You're messing around like this, it's actually ......."
Kaohsiung said: "It's not right. That's what you're trying to say, right? β
We looked at each other.
I shook my head. I said, "If you mess with flowers and grass everywhere like this, in fact, you will not be happy in your heart." β
Kaohsiung looked at me.
He said, "I didn't expect you to say it from this perspective. β
I said, "No matter how many houses you have, no matter how many women you have, you will not be happy in your heart." β
Kaohsiung took a sip of coffee, looked at the lawn outside and said, "I know." β
He said, "But they are happy." I gave them what they wanted. They enjoyed it. Watching them enjoy, I will think that in this world, I have also made some people happy and satisfied. In this way, it will not be, it will be too unhappy. β
I said, "If Sue and the kids knew about it, they would all be sad." β
Kaohsiung said: "If they weren't happy, they wouldn't be sad." How sad they will be shows how happy they were before. β
His words pierced my heart like a dagger.
He looked at the look on my face. He said, "Where there is happiness, there will be sadness." Is it? β
I put down my teacup and I said, "Let's go look at the kitchen dΓ©cor." β
(b)
I was standing in the white kitchen. I looked enviously at the white cabinets and the DuPont Cornelli kitchen and dining counters.
"I've always wanted to have a white kitchen like this. But I've never really pretended it to be white. Because white, while pretty, is too easy to stain. It takes too much time to keep it so beautiful. β
Kaohsiung looked at me from the side. "So, it's white," he said. β
I said, "What? β
Kaohsiung looked at me. His expression suddenly became very gentle. He said, "Let you see the effect of white, and have a good time." β
I looked at the blue tablecloth on the dining table. That's my favorite color combination.
I looked back at Kaohsiung. He pulled out a chair by the table and motioned for me to sit down.
He said, "Sit down, shall we have something to eat?" Although I will only make omelets. β
I looked at him.
Again, he said, "You may be seated." β
I said, "I'll do it." What's in the fridge? β
He said, "You are a guest, just sit down." β
He pressed me by the shoulders and pressed me against the chair. He said, "- Unless, you want to be the hostess." β
I bit my lip.
(c)
"So many seats. Do you want to have a dinner with friends here? It doesn't look like a two-person world. β
I spread tomato sauce on the egg rolls.
Kaohsiung looked at me and didn't squeak.
I stopped coating the omelet. I looked at him. I said, "Do you hear that?" β
Kaohsiung held out a finger, and he put it to his lips. He made a gesture of silence. He nodded at the plate. He said, "Let's eat first." It's not delicious when it's cold. β
"Why are you staring at me like that?" I said, "It's hard to swallow something to be stared at like this." β
Kaohsiung grinned. He said, "Well, Xinxin, actually, I tell you very seriously, in fact, there is no other woman living in this house. I only hired two housekeepers and cleaners. β
He said, "Actually, you walked into this house, the first female guest. β
"Before that, I was the only one living here," he said. This is the place where I have been living for many years. When I feel very annoyed, I will come and stay alone for a few days, and I haven't even told you. This house is a gift from me to myself. β
He said: "The house is huge, and it is very deserted to live alone. But it's also easy to calm down. When I came to stay, I would lie down in the bedroom for a while, sit on the balcony, fry an egg roll here, and put the plates here. Then I sat across the plate and looked at the many seats. After sitting for a while, he pulled the plate over and ate the egg roll. β
Kaohsiung said: "I tell you very seriously, this is my happiness. Purity is a rare blessing. Even if the emperor is a general, he may not be able to have good fortune. β
Kaohsiung said: "The joy of being alone like this, you know, right? β
I looked down at the plate. I said, "Yes." I know. β
I said, "Do you feel irritable?" Right now? β
Kaohsiung showed a bright smile and said, "Every second I spend alone with you, I won't be irritable." Even if you're irritable, or sometimes I seem irritable, I'm not irritable. β
He said, "Heart." For so many years, I have enjoyed every minute and every second of my time with you. β
I said, "What's wrong with you?" It looks like it's quite sad. β
Kaohsiung said: "I'm actually a soft person, but I don't want you to know. β
I said, "Why?" β
Kaohsiung said: "I'm afraid that after you find out, you will always expect me to be so good." β
(iv)
"I have a lot of facets," he said. There are some, hearts, that you have never seen yet. β
He said, "I, too, never want you to see it." β
I looked at Kaohsiung, not knowing what to say to calm down some anxiety or sentimentality in his heart.
I know he's not feeling good. But don't know why. He wouldn't tell me.
I know that he didn't tell me for my own good.
Kaohsiung said: "I have always wanted to live by your side, even if you reject me forever, I would like to be close to you, always watch you grow up, and work hard to live well." But if you know that I want to be close to you, to keep looking at you, you're going to feel uncomfortable, and you don't like that. So, I didn't tell you that I bought this house myself, in your city. Here, although I didn't bother you, I will feel closer to you. β
"I've been guarding you here for some years," he said. β
I was deeply moved, but I didn't dare to be too moved, Kaohsiung's words are sometimes not entirely true, so I can only listen to them in vain. Maybe he's kidding me. When I'm really moved, he'll laugh gloatingly.
I was silent for a moment and said, "Why did you bring me here today if you haven't let me know for so long?" β
Kaohsiung said: "Because I am going to sell this house next month." If I don't bring you over this time, you'll never see it. β
I said, "Sell?" β
Kaohsiung said: "Yes. β
Kaohsiung said: "I have always had a dream that one day, I can stay with you in such a white, sunny house, have drinks with you, let you sit at the dining table, watch me make ham egg rolls, watch you eat my egg rolls." Let's talk and talk casually. β
Kaohsiung said: "I'm not as ambitious as people say. My dream, in fact, is nothing more than that. β
Kaohsiung said: "Now, my dream has come true. In life, you can have no regrets. β
The feeling of uneasiness arose strongly again.
I said, "Brother Kaohsiung, are you in great difficulty?" β
Kaohsiung looked at me.
"Men are there to solve problems," he said. It is not used to confide in a woman about the difficulties he is experiencing. β
He said, "Don't ask anything, just sit there and finish this egg roll well." That's it, that's it. β
