Chapter 16 What percentage do you love me?

Our love for a person cannot be the same every day, there will always be ups and downs, today I love you to death, maybe only half of it will be left tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow I will love you a little more. British writer Alan De Botton has an interesting plot in his novel "The Love I Talked about". There is a little game between the protagonist and his girlfriend, Chloe. One of them will ask, "Don't you love me today?" "I love you less today," replied another. "Really? Much less?" "No, not that much." "What percentage?"

"Today? It's about 65%, no, maybe more than 67.5%. Then how much do you treat me?" "My God! I think it's about minus thirty percent, although it's still one hundred and twenty-five percent early in the morning when you were..." This kind of joke also has a philosophical meaning-to admit the emotional fluctuations between two people, and not to require that love must be permanently lit like a light bulb. The sad thing is that later, Cleopatra fell in love with someone else, and when Alan tried to tease her to play the game again, she refused to answer at all.

Lovers have their own secret games, just like the whispers between two people, sweet and warm.Years later, even after you've gone your separate ways, you still think about that game and those whispers.You won't play the same game with another person again.
