By the time the real estate owner from the tour took them on a tour of the cottage, it was already dark. They happened to find it on the west side of the village, standing quietly under a warm blue cloak-like sky, buttoned by stars. It seems that the house is very old. Because the house was built on fragile foundations, it has been renovated several times, recently painted, and the kitchen and side balconies have been added.
"Why are you here?" The real estate agent asked, while introducing the spacious and airy bedroom, at first he mistakenly thought that the two were brother and sister. "Our car broke down." Gloria explained, "I hit a fire hydrant and we pushed the car to the garage where we saw your sign. The agent nodded, unable to comprehend this spontaneous coincidence. For him, it is a bit unethical to decide something without months of consideration.
That night they signed a lease, got in the agent's car, and happily returned to the sleepy and seemingly collapsing spa inn, a country hotel that was so dilapidated that it had no chance to create the pleasures of immorality. Until late at night, both of them were too excited to sleep, planning what they were going to do in bed. Li Riqing will continue his historical research at an astonishing pace......
When the car is repaired, they can explore the countryside to their heart's content, join the nearest truly high-end club, and then while Lai writes about it, Yoko Ono can play golf or do some other pastime. Of course, this was what Li Riqing had in mind, and Yoko Ono was sure that what she wanted was to read, dream, and enjoy freedom. During his writing breaks, he would come over and kiss her lazily lying in a hammock. The dreams of the newborn are composing the melody in the rhythm of imagination, accompanied by the flowing wind, the sun chasing the waves of light and shadow in the blooming wheat fields, or the dusty road surface being drenched by the quiet rain, producing mottled and different shades of color......
The two men argued for a long time on this point about the visitor, and both of them tried to show extraordinary maturity and foresight, and they were particularly quarrelsome when they got married. Lai Riqing's advocacy of visiting guests at least every two weeks as a moderator sparked an ambiguous and extremely sentimental conversation about whether he thought she hadn't changed enough, and despite Riqing's repeated assurances that he didn't...... she still distrusted him "We can have a dog." He suddenly proposed. I don't want a dog, I want a kitten. Then they went to sleep, and woke up an hour before dawn, and watched with sleepy eyes as the hut shone with a dim glow.
They were greeted by the hot spring cottage, and the two of them were overwhelmed by a moment of sentimentality and miscalculated the age of the house. Although Yoko Ono's eating habits, Lai's hesitation, and his delusional anxiety continued, there were also many unexpectedly quiet moments during the period. They would sit intimately on the balcony, waiting for the moonlight to shine on the silvery fields, leap over the thick woods, and then churn and ripple on their feet. On such a moonlit night, Yoko Ono's face was pale with memory, and with a little effort, the two were able to avoid the estrangement caused by habit and rediscover in each other the lost concentration of love that had existed.
At night, her head resting on his heart, the cigarette in her hand glowing with a small fire, the smoke curling through the darkness that shrouded the pink round bed, she spoke for the first time of a fragment of the men who had briefly fascinated her beauty. "Do you ever think of them?" He asked her. "Occasionally, when something happens, it just reminds me of a particular person." "What do you remember? Their kiss? "There are all kinds of things...... Men are very different from women. "What's different?" "Well, all of it. It's hard to put it into words. There are men who have enjoyed steady accomplishment in a certain field, and they will show a striking inconsistency when confronted by me. Rough men become gentle, careless men show surprisingly faithfulness and loveliness, and usually upright and noble men have all kinds of attitudes, that is, they do not have integrity and nobility. ”
"For example?" "For example, there was a boy from the first universe named Alexandrovich, who was considered a hero in college, a good athlete, and saved many people from a fire. However, I soon discovered that he was a completely ignorant fool somewhere. "Where?" He still seems to have an almost innocent notion that there must be a woman who was destined to be his wife, and I have met many times before who have this idea, and each time it makes me angry. His ideal girl is the kind of person who never knows what kissing, family love, and living for her husband wholeheartedly. I can bet you that if he did marry a wife like that, and sit at home all day and be stupid enough to be with him, he would have left her aside and found a woman who could run faster. "I feel sorry for his wife."
"I won't. Think about it, what kind of stupid woman would be so stupid as to marry him without understanding this. All his respect and respect for women will not bring her any stimulation or pleasure. "What did he do to you?" That's exactly what I'm going to say next. As I told you before, did I mention it to you? He was a man of great talent, with big, honest blue eyes, and from his smile he could be assured that his heart was as sincere and reliable as pure gold, and at that time, because I had little to do, I thought he had some scruples, so one night, when we were driving around at the end of a ball, I kissed him wildly, and I remember that week, wonderful and unforgettable, the lush woods were like green soap bubbles, all over the mountains and valleys, and the mist rose from the trees, and the morning lit up the green hills like campfires......"
"How did your idealistic friend, Alexandrovich, react to your actions?" Li Riqing interrupted her. "When he kissed me, he seemed to start thinking that maybe I should relax my ideals, that I didn't need to be respected, just like he had imagined for his dream lover." "How does he do it?" "Didn't do anything. He was just about to start when I pushed him down the embankment a few meters high. "He's hurt?" Li Riqing asked with a laugh. "He broke his arm and sprained his ankle. He made a big deal about it, and when his hand was healed, a man named Vladimirovich, who liked me, approached him and broke his hand again. Oh, what a mess that followed. He threatened to sue Vladimirovich, who was from Earth in Universe One, was seen buying a nuclear gun in a store, but before that, I had been forced to go home by my mother, who had completely disregarded my wishes, so I never had a chance to know what the final outcome would be. ”
Li Riqing laughed happily, "It's amazing! I thought I would be mad at you for kissing so many men, but I didn't. To do this, she sat up from the bed. The kisses were really fun, but I'm pretty sure those kisses didn't leave any mark on me. "Strange to say, I don't care at all. On the other hand, if you don't just do something like kissing, of course, I care. But I believe that you are completely immune to jealousy, unless vanity is wounded. Why don't you care what I've done in the past? Wouldn't you like a completely innocent and undocumented me? ”
"It all depends on what I think of you. I would kiss people because the man was good-looking, or the moonlight was beautiful, or even I felt a little hazy sentimentality and depression. And that's all, they didn't affect me at all. However, you will all remember, and let the memories become your nightmares and haunt you. "Have you never kissed another man like you kissed me?" "No," she replied frankly, "as I told you, men try a lot of things. Any beautiful girl should have had a similar experience...... You know. She continued, "I don't care at all how many women you've had with in the past, as long as your relationship stays at the level of physical satisfaction, but if you've ever lived with another woman for a long time, or even had the idea of marrying a girl, I don't think you can tolerate it, the two are quite different." You'll remember all the intimate little details that kill the freshness, which is the most precious part of love. ”
A surge of passion welled up, and he pulled her to his side and lay down on the pillow. "Oh, the one I love the most." He whispered in her ear, "It seems as if I can forget anything but your kiss." Yoko Ono said in a very soft voice, "Hiki, I seem to hear someone saying that she is thirsty?" He burst out laughing and got out of bed with a submissive and happy expression. All I need is a small cube of ice in my water. She suddenly asked, "Do you feel troubled?" "Riqing, when we have a child, I want him to look like you." "Except for the legs." He made a playful remark. "Yes, that's right, with the exception of legs, his legs should be like mine, but the rest can be like you." "Hiki, maybe his nose can be like me, but his eyes must definitely be like you, plus my mouth, and my face shape, I think, if his hair is also like mine, it should be cute." "My dear Ono, the whole child is occupied by you."
"Oops, I didn't mean to." She happily apologized. "At least let him have my neck," he insisted, looking at himself seriously in the mirror. "Ono, you often say that you like my neck because my Adam's apple is not obvious, and also, because your own neck is too short." "No, not really!" She shouted angrily and turned the mirror around, "It looks just right, I don't believe I've seen a better neck than it." "It's too short." He playfully reiterated. "Short?" Her tone was intensely skeptical. "Short? I think you're crazy! She stretched her neck as if to convince herself that it could bend like a reptile, "You say it's a short neck?" "It's the shortest neck I've ever seen." For the first time in weeks, tears welled up in Yoko Ono's eyes, and there was a real pain in her expression as she looked at him.
"Oh, Hiyo ......" "My Queen, Yoko Ono!" He approached her in confusion and took her elbow in his hand. "Don't cry, please! Don't you know I'm joking? Ono, look at me! Don't cry, honey, your neck is the longest I've ever seen, I mean really. She burst into tears and laughed, but her expression was still distorted. Well...... You don't need to say that, let's talk about children...... "Lai Riqing began as he paced, "to put it simply, we can have two children, two children who are different and logical. One of them is a collection of our two best qualities, your body, my eyes, my mind, your wisdom; The other is a combination of our shortcomings, my body, your bad temper and my indecision. "I love the second child." She said. "What I really want is ......," he continued, "you can have twins, and then, I can experiment with these two children......" "I'm so pathetic! She interjected.
