Chapter 5 a touch of tenderness

On both sides of the dining table, a man and a woman sat. "I like you." The woman said lightly while fiddling with the wine glass in her hand. "I have a wife." The man touched the ring on his hand. "I don't care, I just want to know how you feel. Do you like me?" The expected answer.The man raised his head and looked at the woman opposite him. The man is 28 years old, young, promising, energetic, and quite a good age. The woman on the opposite side has fair skin, a vigorous body, and a pair of bright, talking eyes. What a nice woman, what a pity. "If you like me too, I don't mind being your lover." The woman finally couldn't wait any longer and added another sentence.

"I love my wife." The man replied firmly. "Do you love her? What do you love her for? Now she must be old and decrepit, shameless. Otherwise, why don't you bring her to the company's dinner party..." The woman wanted to continue, but she gave up after meeting the man's cold gaze. "What do you like about me?" the man asked. "Mature, steady, very manly in manner, know how to care about people, there are many, many, as many as countless stars in the sky. Anyway, you are different from the people I have seen before. You are special." "You know what I looked like three years ago?" The man lit a cigarette.

"I don't know. I don't care, even if you've been in prison." "Three years ago, I was the ordinary man you see now." The man ignored the woman and continued. "Graduated from an ordinary university, work is not going well, drinks all day long, and loses his temper. He ignores girls and uses alcohol to vent his desire and dissatisfaction. He was also arrested by the police for going to a nightclub to find girls." "So what?" The woman became interested and wanted to know what made the man change. "because of her?" "Ok."

"She is a person who always seems to be able to easily see the inside of things. Taught me a lot, let me not care too much about gains and losses; don't care too much about the things in front of me; let me try to be kind to others. At that time, I was in front of her , like an innocent child. "Maybe that feeling is similar to how you feel about me now. It was really strange at that time. I was stubborn and just listened to her. According to what she said, accept the reality, know that you are useless, and work hard. Then At the end of the year, there was a slight improvement in work, and we got married."

The man flicked the cigarette ash and continued talking. "At that time, it was really hard. Two people, one bed, and very little furniture in the house. You know? I bought her the first diamond ring only after one year of marriage, and I saved the money for more than half a year. Of course, it was kept behind her back. If she found out, she would definitely not let it go." "During that time, smoking and alcohol made my health bad. In the winter, she would make soup for me every night before going to bed. Only she can make that taste." The man is intoxicated in the memory, forgets the time, just keeps telling the past.

And the woman didn't mean to disturb at all, so she just listened quietly. By the time the man noticed the time, it was already 10 o'clock in the evening. "Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention to the time, it's already so late." The man smiled apologetically. "Now, can you understand? I can't, and I won't, do anything wrong to her. " "Ah, I see. If you lose to someone like this, you will be convinced!" The woman shook her head helplessly. "But when I get to her age, it will be even better." "Well. Then you can find a better man. Isn't it? It's late, and the soup at home is getting cold. I'll take you home." The man stood up and wanted to see the woman off.

"No, I can go back by myself." The woman waved her hand. "Go back, don't make her wait." The man smiled knowingly and turned to leave. "Is she pretty?" "...Well, it's beautiful, like an angel." The figure of the man disappeared into the night, leaving the woman staring at the candle in a daze. The man came home, opened the door, went straight to the bedroom, and turned on the lamp. Along the edge of the bed, sat down. "Wife, it's already the fifth one. Why did you make me so good? Many people like me. Maybe, I will change my mind. Why did you make me so good, but I left first? I, I am alone Man, so lonely."

The man choked up and said, finally broke down in tears. Tears flowed down the man's cheeks drop by drop and hit the photo frame in the palm of his hand.In the dim light, in the old photos, there is the faint tenderness of the dead woman.
