Chapter 19

Xiao Yue's life has been turbulent in the past two weeks. Mike has pursued her openly and doesn't care about the fingers behind her colleagues.

Xiao Yue felt a little embarrassed. After all, Mike is a foreigner, and she is younger than her. She doesn't know what others will think of her.

However, Xiao Yue was very moved when she saw Mike taking every date with her seriously

That night, the two of them went to see Yo-yu Ma's concert

Previously, Mike booked a seat at the Portmanry restaurant

He was dressed formally, his hair and beard were neatly shaved

After the concert, he took Xiao Yue to Xintiandi. The two of them sat in the bar for a long time and drank two glasses of foreign wine.

On the way home, Mike seemed a little excited

He said: Do you remember when we bought concert tickets together a few weeks ago? At that time, you couldn't accept me. Now I'm very happy because I can be with you.

Xiao Yue smiled but didn't answer

In fact, she has a lot of good feelings for Mike

This young British man has a frank and honest personality

He is different from many Chinese men he has come into contact with. He is simpler, less sophisticated, and pursues the woman he wants without any restraint. He is directly

Xiao Yue felt relaxed when he was with him, and there was no need to disguise anything or to defend himself.

What Xiao Yue likes even more is that Mike and she share many languages

Perhaps it is because both of them are engaged in management consulting, and their thinking and handling methods are easy to reach recognition.

Mike's love for travel also coincides with Xiao Yue's desire for nature

When the two talked about the enthusiasm, they even planned to go to see the grasslands in Xinjiang and the snowy mountains in Tibet together.

However, Xiao Yue's feelings for Mike seem to be a little far from love

Xiao Yue didn't know what was standing between them, but she didn't feel the same way when she met Guan Wen after meeting him.

Is it because the big man in front of him has a different hair color than his?

Different outlines?

Or is it because I can't let go and have many concerns?

When he arrived at Xiao Yue's door, Mike kissed Xiao Yue's forehead. Xiao Yue smelled the smell of the cologne water on his body. He felt unfamiliar. Maybe he was too familiar with the smell of Guan Wen.

Mike said: Good night, apologize to your daughter on my behalf, and took her mother away for one night. I will definitely take her with me next time.

Xiao Yue smiled at Mike's concern for her daughter, which made her feel relieved. Xiao Yue would never let her child down just to find a husband.

When Guan Wen called Xiao Yue's office, Xiao Yue was riding on a ship heading to Shengsi, her child and Mike were on a boat

This is a very close island to Shanghai

Mike finally persuaded Xiao Yue to take his daughter to the beach with him for a long weekend

Autumn is not the peak tourist season for the islands, but it is more suitable for them.

Because she brought her daughter, Xiao Yue thought that Mike should be in love and polite, so she agreed.

My daughter is so excited

Uncle clown with many candies wants to go to the beach with her, it's like a dream

Three people stood on the deck, Xiao Yue breathed in the smell of the sea with big mouths

I've been standing for a long time, a little cold

My daughter wants her to hold her

Seeing this, Mike immediately took off his jacket and put it on Xiao Yue and his daughter.

This tiny action is really inconspicuous for many married women, but Xiao Yue, who has been single for many years, was moved by this.

Mike and Xiao Yue chose to stay at local farmers' homes.

This is a two-story house facing the beach

The first floor upstairs is for rent for tourists

Mike rented out three rooms on the entire first floor, including a balcony facing the sea.

The room is clean and neat, and there are modern shower equipment

Xiao Yue likes this place

Quiet and simple, close to nature

She and her daughter live in the same room, Mike lives in the third room and the living room is made in the living room.

Farmers prepare three meals a day

Morning milk sweet soy milk and fried dough sticks and white steamed buns

Seafood I just bought from the pier at noon and evening with rice or rice noodles

Although the seafood types are simple, the food is fresh and the taste is very delicious

During the day, three people went to the beach to catch sand crabs, dig sand, fly kites, and play balls

For the daughter who lives in the city, this is paradise

Mike is very patient with Xiao Yue's daughter

He can play with his daughter for a long time, as if he will not get tired or be tired

By the sea where the waves were rolling, the tall and big Mike was wearing a sky blue sweater, light white loose pants, and rolled up his trouser legs. His red daughter rode on his shoulders, holding a colorful carp kite in his hand, and shouting loudly in his mouth.

Behind them is a sunset, reflecting the sea water with golden light

Such a painting-like scene made Xiao Yue intoxicated and almost shed tears.

How many times have she seen other people's children riding on their father's shoulders, looking around proudly, and she was both jealous and envious in her heart.

At this moment, why isn't she happy for her daughter?

What Mike brings her is the happiness of the family, what she has been missing for a long time, how many times have she been silently looking forward to

She felt the desire to put her head on Mike's chest, just like when she was a child, she finally returned home after walking a long way, threw herself into her father's arms, listened to his heartbeat, and be safe and sound.

That morning, the farmers specially prepared salted soy milk, put pickled vegetables, and beat eggs inside.

The salty soy milk is filled with tender green green onion and a touch of red spicy oil

After seeing this, Mike asked: Is it sweet or salty?

Of course it is salty, but it is spicy.

Mike said mischievously: I have never had a salty and spicy breakfast in my life. I am very precious. The first time I will give it to you.

Then he pinched his nose, held the soy milk and drank a few big sips. His face was painfully funny, Xiao Yue and his daughter were so happy that they rubbed their stomachs with laughter.

My daughter imitated him and took a sip, wrinkled her little face and said: It’s salty and spicy!

Xiao Yue laughs loudly

She smiled so happily and relaxedly. Mike looked at Xiao Yue, and his handsome face showed an intoxicated expression.

He reached out his hand, hugged Xiao Yue's shoulder, and rubbed her shoulder several times.

An impulse surged in Xiao Yue's body, and she had a small desire for the big man around her.

In the evening, Xiao Yue said to Mike: I'm sorry for you. I've been eating local Chinese dishes these days

Xiao Yue suddenly thought of something and said: Mike, if one day you want to eat Western food and I want to eat Chinese food, and none of us want to change our minds, what should we do?

After hearing this, Mike thought about it, then picked up Xiao Yue's face, looked at her seriously and said: If no one wants to change his attention, then there is no need to force each other. So, you eat yours, I eat mine, but we sit under the same roof and eat on the same table.

Will I feel lonely? Xiao Yue asked

Maybe, but, if you live with a Chinese man, will you not be lonely? The spiritual harmony and the spiritual harmony are more important than the harmony of life habits. If there is no former, two people who are in harmony with each other, whether they are Chinese or foreigners, they will feel lonely.

Xiao Yue immediately thought of Guan Wen and his wife after hearing this.

Mike continued: Our living habits may be different, but we have many similarities in careers and hobbies. Sometimes, two people who seem different are more likely to attract each other! Isn’t the process of exploring each other’s other persons also interesting? In addition to constantly exploring each other, we can also explore each other’s cultural world.

Xiao Yue nodded after hearing this, then tilted her head and thought for a while: Will you continue to learn Chinese?

Mike smiled: With you by my ear every day, I still learn from it myself?

Xiao Yue is a little shy

Mike hugged Xiao Yue to his chest, touched her hair and said: Yue, as you understand me, you will find that from a personality perspective, I am actually very suitable for you. I know you are not a bird depending on human shape, and I don’t like that type. I regard you as my equal and independent partner. We have our own world separately, just like two complete circles, these two circles intersect, and the overlapping part is our common point.

Xiao Yue didn't think about this matter carefully, but after listening to Mike's remarks, she felt that the thing that lies between them was slowly emerging.

Mike, I envy those women who rely on human shapes who have men who love to have men. They don’t have to worry about anything like me. They do everything themselves. The hardship is that men like to rely on them. Women who also long to rely on men.

Mike nodded and said: This is a very interesting phenomenon. Feminist movement has been popular in the West for a long time. Women pursue not only economic independence but also spiritual independence. However, in China, which is known as half of the sky, most women still unconsciously hope to find a man as a backer. I personally think that relying on each other is mutual because our equal care is mutual. Because our ability and energy to equal one person are limited, let any party of the couple overwork and bear all the heavy responsibilities of economic, family and spirit, which will eventually collapse. Therefore, looking for liberation outside of marriage. Don’t forget that men are also humans and men also long to be cared for. Being distressed is just like women need these. So, I think the equal relationship between husband and wife is more lasting.

After hearing this, Xiao Yue suddenly realized

She has been unable to understand what happened between Guan Wen and his wife.

Now she figured it out

Guan Wen's load is too heavy

Not to mention the pressure of work, he has to take care of his daughter, love his wife, and maintain the image of a model husband in front of others.

In order to prove that Guan Wen still loves her, his wife used him more and more. For example, she kept a taxi and let her husband get up in the middle of the night and sent her sisters who chatted with her until very late to go home. This is a good example.

If this continues, Guan Wen, who doesn't want to lose face with a divorce, can only sneakily relieve stress outside of the marriage.

Xiao Yue patted Mike's cheek and said: Hey, I can't tell, a philosophical student is worthy of being a top student who graduated from Cambridge.

Mike blinked and said: What does Manager Xiao reward me?

Then, he put his lips to Xiao Yue's ear and kissed them with a big thorn. The strong and young hand also moved from her shoulder to her bulging chest.

No, Xiao Yuedao, the child sees it

Hush... Mike made a face and both of them couldn't help laughing
