Chapter 15 Chapter fifteen

Wang Ju looked around the room, but did not see the saxophone, so he asked Kevin (Kevin): "Did you bring the saxophone?" "Don't you dare to bring it?" "Where are you?" "In the next door closet (closet, hanging room)." She went to the next room, opened the closet, and she saw a black box, from the outside she knew it contained a bent-pipe saxophone. He lifted the box out, put it on the newly-made floor yesterday, and opened the lid.She saw the sax inside, yellow as gold. The red floor, the black piano case, and the yellow saxophone are as beautiful as a painting. She hurriedly took out her mobile phone, pinched a few pictures, and then commanded: "Come on, play a listen, let me pinch a few pictures for you .”

"Wait until the evening's work is done before blowing." "That's right, such beautiful music should be listened to after bathing and changing." "Remember to take a shower and change clothes at night." "must." By the evening, they had finished paving the entire upstairs floor, three bedrooms, a ping-pong room, and the aisle, all of which were paved, leaving only the stairs and the two downstairs rooms unpaved. The two sat down to dinner.Still he sat on the stairs and she sat on the cardboard bed. He still praised while eating: "The chestnut chicken wings are so delicious!"

He really likes to eat her cooking, because he ate up a box of lunch in one go. She asked, "Are you full? Shall I give you something?" "no, I'm fine." "These two lunch boxes are the same size, I can't eat so much." She insisted on giving him some, and came to him with the lunch box. He held the lunch box in both hands and asked her to transfer the food from her lunch box to his lunch box, but He didn't look at the lunch box, but looked up at her and said, "You gave me everything, are you enough?" "Enough. I'm losing weight."

"Why lose weight?" "too fat." "Where are you fat?" "Fat everywhere." He put one hand on her lower back: "Is it fat here?" Her heart was pounding: "What do you say?" "I think it's just right." He rubbed her waist for a while. She was impulsive, but pretended to be calm and said: "Don't lie to me." "I didn't lie to you. It's true. It's so curvy." He moved his hand down again: "Is it fat here?" She gave an "um" and felt a wave of heat spreading from the back to the front.

He pressed it lightly a few times and said, "It's not fat, it's so elastic." She was so hot that she didn't dare to say any more. She came to the kitchen with a lunch box, ate the food in a few mouthfuls, threw the lunch box into the sink, and took out a large Korean pear from the refrigerator. It weighs two pounds.She peeled the skin and wanted to cut one person in half, but he stopped him: "Pears cannot be divided, and dividing a pear is separation." "Then, how to eat?" He picked up the peeled pear, took a bite, and held the pear up to her mouth for her to bite.

She wanted to bite, but the pear was so round that she had nowhere to put her mouth, and she couldn't force it.He wrapped his arms around her waist and turned the side he had bitten towards her, and she bit near the gap. He said with satisfaction: "That's right, pears should be eaten like this." She said worriedly: "But my son and I both...cut and ate..." "It doesn't matter if you share the food with your son." "Then it has something to do with whom to share the food with?" "It has something to do with sharing the food with me."

"yes?" "of course." After eating the pear, he let her go.Both of them went to the pipe to wash their hands and dried them with napkins. He asked, "Are you afraid of being separated from your son?" "My son is my life." "Will his father come for him?" "I have no idea." He comforted and said, "Don't worry, if he didn't want a son when he divorced, he won't come to ask for a son now." "I hope so." "Has he remarried?" "Who?" "Your Ex (ex-husband)." "No, no."

"Is there... a new love?" "Have." "Who is Xinhuan?" "Yes, it's his first love. In order to be transferred to the city, she... went with someone else..." He looked at her with pity: "Now they are...reunited again?" "Well, that person's husband passed away..." "Does that person have any children?" "They both have a kid, I mean, she has a kid with my... EX." "real?" "Well, they are fellow villagers. When they go home to visit relatives, they often have trysts...they have children..."

"Then he won't come to ask you for a son." "I hope so." He held her hand: "Don't be sad, it's just that you love the wrong person. I know, I found out, my heart will hurt for a while, but after a while, it will be fine, and I will be completely relieved." "Is this how you are?" "Well. I... used to have a broken heart, but after I met you, I was freed, and my broken heart was restored again, stronger than before it was broken. Believe me, you will also be completely freed." "I've been freed a long time ago."

"But I don't think you have." She was surprised: "Why do you say that?" "Because, I can feel it." "What do you feel?" "You still kind of... love him. When it comes to his ability to play football, your eyes are full of admiration." "Nonsense, how can there be a look of worship in my eyes?" "There is!" "You can also play football, I adore you." "Really? What else can he do? Tell me, I'll learn all his eighteen martial arts, so you only worship me." "Hehe, I only admired you. He can do nothing but play football."

"That's great! Now it's my turn to play for you." She cheered: "Wow, that's great!" "Let's go upstairs, you can sit on that bay window (window sill), that's your box." "it is good." The two went upstairs and came to the room with the bay window. She followed his arrangement and sat obediently on her son's favorite window sill. The window sill was huge, bigger than a single bed.He took the saxophone out of the box and put the box on the windowsill.He tried a few tones and asked, "What do you like to hear the most?" "I chose yesterday, today you choose, choose your best." "You let me choose? Then I will choose "Don't Make Me Wait for Love (Don't Make Me Wait for Love)"." "I like this one too." "You like it too? Then I'll choose this one." He started to play, the beautiful music, the chic typhoon, and it was very similar to the Kenny G (Kenny G) performance video she had seen on the Internet. She remembered that Kenny G in that video was very young, and it was her favorite video. There were a few shots, handsome and shy like a girl, and in other shots, showing his arms and chest muscles, he was as strong as a male athlete.She thought that Kenny G was born in 56 and became famous in 1986, which is exactly his current age.With his talent and good looks, if it wasn't for the proprietress who smuggled to the United States, maybe he, like Kenny G, became famous all over the world at the age of thirty. But now, he can only play for her mother, a fourth child who doesn't understand music, in this unfinished house. She racked her brains to plan how to make his talent come into play.It seems that returning to China is not the best way, because China is really not a hall of art, only those who do sketches, play magic, and act in movies are a little bit likely to become popular. People who engage in pure art like him, if they don’t change their careers when they return to China, they may even be confused. It's hard to eat, let alone become famous. If only he could develop in the United States!After all, the United States is the hometown of Kenny G, and Kenny G is the instrumentalist with the largest circulation in the world. If he has the opportunity to meet Kenny G, he will definitely be appreciated and supported by the master.Maybe one day, his recorded CDs will be distributed all over the world. She thought that she would be an American citizen soon, and if she could marry him, she could give him a status and let him start his artistic career in the United States.Maybe by then, he will have a lot of young fans and he will leave her, but she will be happy for him, because she gave him a chance to become famous and made him a shining star. Love is to make the one you love happy and feel happiness from it. This is the concept of love she learned in Ai Yuan. After the song was played, the room seemed very quiet, neither of them seemed to want to break the sacred silence, they just stared at each other. After a long time, he said: "I like this song because of its lyrics. Do you know the lyrics?" She said shyly, "I only know one thing." "Haha, you only sing one line?" "Only this sentence is repeated a lot, so I understand it. My English listening is not good, and I can listen to others, but I can't understand the English lyrics. Sing it to me, I can sing what you sing I can understand." "You can listen to me, but I want to sing in your ears." Without waiting for her answer, he jumped onto the window sill, sat behind her, stretched his legs from her sides to the front, and put his arms around her shoulders gently. Waist, whispered in her ear: Sitting here just staring (I'm sitting here staring at your picture) At your picture, waiting for your call (waiting for your call) So unclear, I'm hanging on a notion We could have it all Time and time again (you tell me again and again) You tell me to be patient But we can't let love slip away Baby, don't make me wait for love this time (Baby, don't make me wait for love this time) Darlin', a love like this is hard to find Don't make me wait for love I close the blinds and try to hide (I close the blinds and try to hide) The darkness, fall asleep alone Give me a sign, a man ain't supposed To face life, standing on his own (a man should not live alone, unaccompanied) When you'er near me I can't help but see forever Come and rescue me tonight Don't make me wait for love this time (don't make me wait this time) A love like this is hard to find Don't make me wait for love (Don't make me wait for love) Baby, darlin' (baby, darlin') Baby, darlin' (baby, darlin') So beautiful! She listened to him singing softly in her ear, just like listening to him tell his heart, she understood every sentence, and every sentence seemed to be his "impromptu composition" for her, because every sentence was so suitable for their reality.She wanted to say to him: Come on, I won't make you wait any longer, and you don't make me wait any longer.This kind of love comes once in a thousand years, and time waits for no one. But suddenly he let go of her and fell backward, propping his elbows on the ledge. She turned her head and found that he was looking at her, the corners of his mouth clenched tightly. She hurriedly turned her head away and murmured: "This song is so beautiful, Don't make me wait for love this time..." There was a moment of silence. He clamped her between his legs, sat up straight, stretched his arms from under her arms to the front, put his arms around her waist, and whispered in her ear: "You drove me crazy when I saw you the first time ( You drove me crazy the first time we met.)” "yes?" "Ok." "Why? We didn't say a few words that day." "I didn't say a few words, but you were wearing that long T-shirt without a bra (bra) underneath... bare legs were exposed underneath, and a... very trendy hat, so cute... " She blushed: "You...how do you know that I didn't wear...bra that day?" "Can you see it?" "You... have seen it?" "As soon as you opened the door, I saw you. There seemed to be two little rabbits hidden on your chest..." "I remember that day when you were... so far away..." "That's when you were talking to Jimmy, and I walked away." "Then you still tell me not to change clothes every time, don't change clothes?" "Hehe, I like the feeling of being driven crazy by you." She stopped talking, her heart pounding. He asked, "Do you think I'm bad?" She shook her head. "It's just that you are too sexy and charming..." "Nobody ever told me I was sexy." "Really? That would be great." "Why is it good?" "It means that no one has seen your sexy and charming appearance." "Where's Ji...Jimmy?" He said angrily: "Well, he saw it too. You will not be allowed to dress like that to see people in the future." "I didn't dress like that to meet people afterwards." "I know. But you didn't dress like that to see me, only once, that day I almost..." He moved his hands up and said happily: "Today I finally got caught!" She was limp in his arms, these two hands were indeed so electrified. He sings in a whisper: "Baby, don't make me wait for love this time. Darlin', a love like this is hard to find... (Baby, don't make me wait for love this time. Darlin', a love like this is hard to find... )” "me……" "Let's go downstairs, there's a bed over there." "I……" "Don't tell me you're inconvenient today..." "No, it's me..." He jumped off the ledge and picked her up. She said dreamily: "Kevin, Kevin, listen to me..." "No need to say anything." "Kevin, I..." He carried her downstairs, put her on the cardboard box bed, and said apologetically, "This bed is a bit too hard, I'll bring some more rugs later." He went to the garage to get the carpet, she sat on the cardboard bed shivering, many worries, her figure, I don’t know if he would feel old and bloated, and her body, after a day’s work and no bath, no Know if there will be any smell.The most important thing is that he doesn't know her married status at all, and she can't hide it from him like this. She decided to tell him everything, and if he said "I don't care about your married status, I still love you", then she would bravely accept his love and give her love to him without reservation. But if he cared, she...had only one way to be heartbroken. Kevin brought two rugs from the garage, and Wang Jin got up from the cardboard bed and moved aside.He bent down to lay the rug, and she said softly, "Kevin, I'm sorry I wasn't telling you the truth." He laid the carpet and straightened his waist: "What's the truth?" "I'm...I'm not..." He laughed: "What are you and what are you not? Are you confused?" She summoned up the courage to say, "I'm not a single mother, I'm...a married woman." He froze for a while before he understood: "Really? But Jimmy said you..." "He made a mistake. He asked me who lived in this house. I said me and my son. He thought I didn't have a husband..." "but……" "I know, you said that I was a single mother that day, and I didn't declare or clarify. Today you also asked about my ex (ex-husband), but I didn't clarify. It's all...my fault, I tell you... My apologies..." He stood stupidly for a while, and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I should be the one to apologize to you, I'll take this carpet... back to the garage..." He carried the rug to the garage, even the one that had been in the living room. She stood in the living room and listened with bated breath, but she didn't hear any sound. She chased him to the garage and saw him standing there in a daze. She called out distressedly: "Kevin, what's wrong with you?" He turned his head and smiled: "I was wondering if I should throw away these rugs..." "Why throw it away?" "It's useless." She didn't know if he was referring to something, she just asked mechanically: "Why?" "Now that there are so many unpacked cardboard boxes, there should be no need for these carpets. When you move, just put the cardboard boxes on the floor." She didn't know if there was something wrong with her ears, so he left "single mother" immediately and thought of going to the cardboard box? He walked to the garage door, opened the garage door on the right, walked to his white pickup with the carpet in his arms, threw the carpet into the car, clapped his hands, and said, "I'm going back, you should go home early too." Her heart was broken, and she wanted to chase him and pull him in, tell him not to leave, tell him that she loves him, that she is willing to have sex with him, that she is willing to do anything with him, even to die.But she knew that he no longer cared about having sex with her, and thought she was a married woman. He said again: "Go home early!" "OK." He closed the garage door from the outside and she couldn't see him. When she came to her senses and ran to the gate to see him, his white pickup was no longer in front of the gate. She didn't know how that night passed, she just knew that she didn't fall asleep at all, she kept thinking about the whole process of interacting with him these days, and also thinking about the dark life without him in the future, tears kept streaming down her face, whether it was recalling Those happy scenes, or foreseeing those cold futures, tears never broke the line. The next morning, she applied ice packs and hot towels to her eyes for a while before she dared to go to work.But she's afraid to do any experiments, or anything that requires concentration, because her mind is completely out of it, and in her new house, wondering if her Kevin, is he laying the floor there now, he last night Sleep well, don't be like her, stay up all night, let that saw hurt you. She tossed about for a while, and couldn't bear it anymore, so she said hello to the people in the laboratory, saying that she had a headache and she was going to see a doctor, and then drove to the new house, and saw the white pickup truck parked in front of her. In front of the door, she burst into tears, as if she had found a long-lost relative. She sat in the car for a while and calmed herself down before getting out of the car and going into the house. She heard saxophones wafting from the downstairs bedroom and knew he was laying the floor there.But she didn't dare to walk over, so she stood in the aisle, listening to the music with her eyes closed. After a while, she heard footsteps and knew that he had come out, so she quickly wiped away her tears and walked towards the living room. He came out of the bedroom, saw her, and shouted enthusiastically from behind: "June, are you here? Don't you go to work today?" Without looking back, she said, "Come on, come and get something." "Oh, forgot something here?" "lunch box." "It's all my fault. I threw it in the sink yesterday and forgot to wash it." "No, I just forgot." "Okay, you get your things, I'm going to the garage to saw the boards." Soon, she heard a loud sawing. She washed and dried the lunch box, put it in a plastic bag, and carried it to the garage door. She saw him wearing goggles and a silencer, and was concentrating on sawing boards.She just stood there staring at him blankly. He saw for a while, raised his head, saw her, smiled at her, and said, "Don't stand here, the sound is too loud, it's not good for your ears." She took a few steps back, and he lowered his head to saw the planks again. After sawing the batch of planks, he piled them together and walked over with his arms in his arms.When passing by her, he smiled at her again, and then carried the plank into the master bedroom. She was still standing there. He put down the board, came out of the bedroom, looked at her for a while, and asked, "Aren't you going to work today?" "superior." "sick?" "Ok." "What's uncomfortable?" "Headache." "Do you want to go to the hospital?" "No need to." "Then go back and rest." "Ok." He looked around and said apologetically, "Even the cardboard bed has been dismantled here today, you have no place to rest..." "Why was it dismantled?" He smiled: "I want to use the boards inside to pave the floor." "Oh, that's right. Then I'm leaving, and I'll bring you lunch later." "no, I'm fine." "Eat well at noon." "No need, I brought lunch." "Really? Where?" "In your refrigerator." She didn't believe it, so she ran to the refrigerator to check, and he really brought lunch, two sandwiches, packed in a transparent grocery bag."I'm going to be working late today, so I brought lunch," he explained. She had no choice but to say: "Then I won't bring food here." "No need to deliver, no need to deliver. Go ahead." She went back to Office A and sat in the laboratory, unable to do anything else. She just wanted to go to the new house and be with him.But she knew that he didn't want to see her anymore, he thought she was a married woman and lied. During lunch, Teacher Wei called her: "Xiao Wang, why didn't you come out for lunch?" "Oh, I'm busy." "What are you busy with? Come out to eat first, I have something to see you." She reluctantly picked up the lunch box and went to the lounge to eat. Teacher Zhang and Tian Bin were also there. Judging from their expressions, they must have been talking about her just now.She sat down listlessly and asked, "Teacher Wei, what do you want from me?" "Your food is not hot yet, take it to the microwave to heat it up." She came to her senses, took the lunch box to the microwave to heat it, and typed it for 30 minutes without paying attention, but Tian Bin found out and reminded her: "Mr. Wang, you have been heating the meal for too long, right?" She didn't see the problem for a long time, Tian Bin helped her press the stop button, and explained: "You changed 3 minutes into 30 minutes." She put a few sheets of paper under the lunch box and brought it to the dining table, but she had no appetite. Teacher Wei said: "Xiao Wang, I went to 'Fulinmen' for dinner the day before yesterday, and the proprietress there asked me about you." She was surprised: "Really? What did she ask me?" "She didn't say anything, she just asked me if I knew any Chinese, female, about 30 or 40 years old, who was decorating a house recently, and I thought of you. Are you decorating a house recently?" "Yeah, what did she ask for?" "I don't know, maybe I'm helping some decoration company to solicit business." Tian Bin reminded: "But didn't you say that she still asked Mr. Wang where her husband works?" Teacher Wei gave Tian Bin a dissatisfied look, but Tian Bin fell silent. Teacher Zhang said: "Didn't I tell you not to go to 'Fulinmen' for dinner? It was full of leftovers to deceive people. I was hosting my German in-laws that time. They came to see me from so far away. I trusted them. 'Fu Linmen' took them there to eat, but what they gave us were all leftovers, which made me unable to hold my head up in front of my in-laws." Teacher Wei explained: "I don't want to go to 'Fulinmen', but my family's old Chen likes to eat their boiled fish, so I must go, I have no choice, so I went..." Teacher Zhang said: "You may not know that the owner of 'Fulinmen' defected to the United States..." Several people said in unison: "Really?" Teacher Zhang said with the pride of an authoritative person: "Of course it is true. He got a lot of money in the country, and when he came out to investigate, he defected..." "Then he... got his identity now?" "I got it a long time ago. Such a national scum, I will not support their business." Oda said: "The owner of 'Fulinmen' should be in his fifties, right? But the proprietress is still so young and looks good. I heard that she is engaged in dancing in China." Teacher Zhang said contemptuously, "That's the biggest...broken shoe in our city A." "real?" "I don't know how many cuckolds have been put on her husband. Her son is not her husband's, but the illegitimate child of her and her lover." "Does her husband know?" "So what can I do if I know? He relies entirely on the proprietress to bring business to his store. That woman has great powers. She has conquered all the big names in city A. They all go to her store to eat, and even take photos with her and show her She also took others under her pomegranate skirt, and they gave her a booth in the student activity center, where she sold Chinese food and earned students’ money.” "But the business in her shop seems to be not working now." "Hmph, they don't cook well, they just want to use these relationships to attract business, so how can it last? The most annoying thing about this proprietress is that she loves to seduce men, whether she needs it or not, she will seduce them. 'Stamp collection'. When you and your husband go to eat there, you have to be careful, as long as she likes it, she will try her best to get it." Teacher Wei half-jokingly said: "We are old and old, she doesn't like her anymore. Xiao Tian, ​​you have to be careful, don't take your husband there for dinner. Teacher Zhang, you should also be careful, your doctor Yan is a PI ( The person in charge of scientific research projects), with a large amount of scientific research funds in his hand, many people are interested in it." Teacher Zhang said, "We won't go to her house at all!" She ate lunch, almost had a heart attack, returned to the laboratory, asked for leave and ran away, came to the new house in one breath, ran into the house, found Kevin, and said out of breath: "'Fu Linmen ''s proprietress is asking people about me." "yes?" She relayed the conversation between Teacher Wei and the proprietress. He said: "Don't be afraid, the United States is not interested in grasping these personal matters." "However, the Chinese are interested in catching these." "We didn't do anything." "It's not done, but how do people know?" "Who? Your husband?" She said nothing. He asked, "What's your husband's attitude towards this kind of thing?" "What else could it be?" "Is he easy to trust?" "Anyway, he's a no-brainer." "What if he believed the rumor?" "He... said before that if I cheated, he would... destroy my appearance and kill... someone else's person." "Kill who else?" She was anxious: "Oh, why don't you even understand this? That is, for example, if he believes the words of the proprietress of 'Fulinmen', then he will kill your people." He shrugged: "I still don't know who killed whom." "But he can report you to the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation)." "If you report it, send me back and save me a return ticket." "You, want to go back?" "Why don't you go back and stay here?" "Didn't you even ignore your parents for love?" "I even ignored my parents for love, but now, I have no love in America." She stared blankly at him. He said: "Don't worry, maybe before your husband denounced me, I bought a plane ticket and went back to China." "What are you going back for?" "Go back and take care of my parents. They are old and need someone to take care of them. It's not interesting for me to stay here now. I have saved some money. I can go back to serve my parents..." "when are you leaving?" "I'm done with the flooring at Eric's house and I'm leaving." As if her heart was about to explode, she just wanted to throw herself into his arms and beg him not to leave.But she knew it was useless, even if he was willing to accept her pleading not to return to the country, she could not do so, even if Wang Shiwei never knew about it, the lady boss would not let him go, unless he went back into the palm of the lady boss. He said worriedly: "I'm just afraid that your husband will listen to the rumors, disfigure you, and don't know how to protect you." "I'm fine, just protect yourself." "I'm ok." "I want to talk to the proprietress of 'Fulinmen'." "About what?" She didn't know what to talk about with someone like the proprietress of "Fulinmen", so she said uncertainly: "Just tell her me and you, what's the matter?" "She won't believe it." "Then what to do?" "Don't be afraid, I have a solution for her." In the afternoon, Wang Ju couldn't help but went to "Fulinmen", pretending to go there for dinner, to see if he could find a chance to talk to the proprietress. At the door was the same waitress as last time who received her and led her to a train seat, where she ordered a random dish and sat there waiting. It was still early, only after five o'clock, and there were no other customers in the restaurant, except her. She saw a little boy sitting at a table near the kitchen watching TV, probably the landlady's son.She pretended to go to the bathroom, walked past the child, and glanced at him. He looked very featureless, neither like the boss, nor the boss's wife, nor Kevin, but it was definitely not a mixed race, but a purebred Chinese . She went to the bathroom and returned to her seat. When the waitress went to the kitchen to order food, she must have reported her arrival to the proprietress, because her meal hadn't been served yet, and the proprietress was already sitting opposite her: "Is your name Wang Zhu?" "You found out?" "I still need to investigate? There is only such a large area in City A..." She said nothing, looking for an entry point in her heart. The proprietress went straight to the point: "You are the only one today? Why didn't he come?" She pretended to be confused: "Who?" "You know who I'm talking about." "Oh, you mean Kevin who helped me with the floors?" "Yeah, who else could he be talking about?" She looked at her watch: "he's making floors at my house, and he hasn't left work yet." "Why don't you come to dinner with me?" She smiled: "Why is he accompanying me? It was a coincidence last time..." "Don't be sloppy with me, I have a keen eye for these things, you can't hide it..." "I do not know what you're talking about." "You don't know? Then let me tell you, he came to the United States illegally, and I have a criminal record. The evidence is in my hands. If I want him to live, I will live, and if I want him to die, I will die..." She said sadly: "He loves you so much, he even ignored his parents for you, and sneaked here to be with you, but you...you...are you worthy of him?" The proprietress squinted at her and said, "He told you this? You are so easy to deceive! He is not the...passionate person you think at all. He can't get along in China anymore, so he begged me to help him come to the United States , I have no other choice but to pay for his smuggling.” "You paid for him?" "Who else can it be if it's not me? Could it be that a poor man like his parents can afford so much money?" "They won't borrow?" "Borrow? Where can I borrow it? Who will lend them the money? Knowing that they can't pay it back..." She felt that it didn't matter who borrowed the money. The important thing was whether Kevin had a criminal record or not, and whether he had a handle in the hands of the proprietress.She asked: "You said he has a criminal record, what kind of criminal record does he have?" "In order to obtain American identity, he asked me to kill my husband, marry him again, and help him apply for identity." She was startled: "You, you are talking nonsense!" "Am I talking nonsense? You are more or less blind." "He, killed someone?" "Of course." "Then you, husband." She pouted in the direction of the kitchen. "Not this husband." "You... still have a husband?" "late husband." "Dead... dead?" "Kevin killed it." "I do not believe!" "If you don't believe it, you can ask him." The proprietress said contemptuously, "But a person like him who doesn't care will definitely not tell you the truth." "Why do you say that he... killed him?" "I have evidence." "What evidence?" "I keep the gun he killed my husband with his fingerprints on it. The police can't close the case because they didn't find the murder weapon. It's still an open case. As long as I hand over the gun , and he's done." "Where's the gun? Are you making it up?" "Of course the gun won't be kept in a restaurant. Even if it's here, I won't show it to you. I'm afraid you'll take the opportunity to wipe off the fingerprints on it." She secretly scolded the proprietress in her heart, you really have no brains, you can see my thoughts right away. The proprietress said: "Don't think that he is in love with you. I heard from the people in your institute that you are an aunt who is in her late thirties, and you have a husband and children. He is only in his early thirties. Will he fall in love with you? It's nothing more than I lent you the opportunity to do the flooring, just to play with you. After he finishes your home, he will go to other customers. This is his usual practice. If you don’t believe me, you can ask his boss, Jimmy (Jimmy) .” "He... is so bad, why do you... keep an eye on him so closely?" "It's my first love after all." "He was your first love, why did you...marry someone else?" "This is also his arrangement." "But you've... got citizenship now, why don't you get divorced and stay with him?" "Am I crazy? Such a cruel person, do I dare to marry him? Once I help him get an American identity, won't he kill me?" "Then why don't you just stay away?" "I hid far away, but he could always find me, and followed me across half of the United States..." "What do you want?" "Now it's not a question of what I want, but a question of what you want." "What does this have to do with me?" "Why doesn't it matter? I have been with him for so many years, and he has always loved me. Now because of you, he wants to rebel." She couldn't figure it out: "You have a husband and a child, why do you have to tie him by your side?" The proprietress said arrogantly: "Because I want to, because I can!" She really wanted to slap the proprietress a few times, but she knew that now was not the time to act emotionally. If in the past she was only afraid that her husband would harm Kevin and cause him to be sent back to his country if he found out, now her worries were more than that.If Kevin really killed someone, and the evidence is in the hands of the proprietress, then it is not a matter of deportation, and he may go to jail and lose his head. With his character of being desperate for love, it is entirely possible for him to kill someone for the sake of the proprietress, which is a better explanation for why he still stays in the United States and stays with the proprietress, knowing that the proprietress will not divorce him. The proprietress asked, "Are you an American citizen?" She knew what the proprietress wanted to say, and she didn't want to be so specific, so she simply said: "Yes, what's the matter?" "He's using you." "Use me as an identity?" "It seems that you are not so stupid." "I have a husband and child, how can he use me for identity?" "He must not know, thinking that you don't have a husband, otherwise he wouldn't waste his time on you." She didn't believe Kevin was trying to use her for his status, but she believed that if he knew she had a husband, he wouldn't have done it to her. The proprietress changed her tone: "You are a mother, and you also have a son. Do you have the heart to separate your son from his father?" "what do you mean?" The proprietress pouted at the little boy: "That's my son and Kevin's..." "impossible!" "Why is it impossible? Think about it, if this child is not his, he will stay here obediently all the time?" She's not sure anymore. The proprietress said, "Look at that kid again and see if he looks exactly like Kevin." She looked at it a few more times, not sure if it looked like it. 但她马上就想到这无关紧要，关键是怎样让老板娘不去告发Kevin，至于他和老板娘的爱恨情仇，跟她王莙无关，因为他已经不爱她了。 她威胁说：“你告诉我这些，不怕我去告诉你老公？” “你现在就可以去告诉他，他在厨房里面，要不要我把他叫出来？” “我不想掺和你们夫妻之间的事。” “算你聪明。你也别想挑拨我们的夫妻关系，我老公是死心塌地爱我的，无论我做什么，都不会改变对我的爱情。” 她是真的羡慕老板娘这一点，可以让几个男人都驯服地围在身边，不知道这些男人到底是看中了老板娘哪一点，也许是大姐大说的那种狐媚？反正她是一点也感觉不到的，只觉得这个女人浑身上下找不到一点“爱”的痕迹，整个就是算计，算计，再算计。 老板娘说：“现在他的命运就操纵在你手里。” 她声明说：“我跟他没有任何关系，我是……有丈夫有孩子的人……” “我知道你有丈夫有孩子，但那不妨碍你，搞婚外情嘛。” “我不会的，真的。就像你说的一样，我比他大这么多，他怎么会……爱我？我也不是个傻子，不会为了一时的……放纵……丢掉我的家。他给我做完地板就……走了，我们再不会有……任何接触了。” "you promise?" "I promise." “那就好。我会盯着你的，如果你再跟他搞在一起——你知道我会怎么惩罚你。”老板娘站起身，大方地说，“今天这餐算我头上了。” 她随便吃了几口，就跑掉了，没付钱，也没打包，一溜烟地回到新房子那里，想把跟老板娘的谈话告诉Kevin。但那辆白色的皮卡已经不在她门前了，她打开车库门，冲进屋子里，大声叫着：“Kevin！Kevin！” No one answered. 她一屁股坐在楼梯上，拿出手机，给他打电话，但他关机了。她给他留了个言，但不知道他会不会查。她决定就呆在新房子这边，也许他还会像从前那样，吃过晚饭就来这里转转，看看她晚上是不是在这边刷墙。如果他今晚没来，那她明天就请假不上班，到这里来找他。 她等了一会儿，决定向王世伟提出离婚。一旦离了婚，那么任何有关她的谣言就跟他无关了，他就不会觉得自己戴了绿帽子，也就没必要报复Kevin了。而老板娘那边，只要她跟Kevin没什么，老板娘也不会去告发Kevin。 她给丈夫打电话，他接了，听见是她，很不耐烦：“又什么事啊？” “我想跟你离婚。” "Are you crazy?" “没疯，前所未有的清醒。” “你凭什么离婚？” “离婚还要凭什么？” “总要有个原因吧？” 她想了想，说：“因为你出轨。” “谁说我出轨了？” “宗家瑛的微博里写得清清楚楚。” “她写什么了？” 她把“世间芳踪”的微博内容简述了一下，问：“难道你还想否认？” 那边气急败坏：“你……你……我看你真的是疯了！她在网上胡写一通，你就当真了？人家那是写小说，小说不都是编的吗？未必你那个什么艾米……她写的都是真事？” “就是因为她写的都是真事，我才相信宗家瑛微博里写的东西……” “你怎么知道艾米，写的都是真事？” “因为她写过我一个朋友的故事，每一件都是真事，我就是因为看那个故事才认出是我的朋友，然后通过那个朋友认识艾米的。” “但是，难道网络上人人写的都是真事？” “如果不是真事，她怎么敢写出来贴在网上？难道不怕你看见了怪她撒谎？” 那边骂上了：“你他妈的真是……让人吐血啊！居然连这都相信！我他妈的这么多年，理都没理过她，就是这次在车上碰见说了几句话，她她妈的胡编乱造，你他妈的就相信了？” “你别一口一个妈的，你有道理用得着骂人吗？” 他收敛了些许：“你……你……那你说她把小龙写得鹰鼻鹞眼，难道那也是真的？” “那个……也许小龙在她眼里就是那样……” “还有你自己呢？她不是把你写成……放毒的吗？” “那个，是因为她想写成江湖小说嘛。” “哦，那些都不是真的，就我和她的事成真的了？” “反正你心里明白。” “我心里当然明白，现在是你不明白呀！” 她其实并不关心他跟宗家瑛到底有没有那事，她只想离婚。 他沉默了一阵，说：“我会去找那个女人问个清楚。” Then I hung up the phone. 她第一次发现丈夫这么不想离婚，一直以来，他给她的感觉都是离不离无所谓，不离他能混着过，离了就更好。但从今天的对话来看，他其实并不想离婚，这真让她搞不懂，既然不想离婚，平时干嘛那么凶呢？难道是因为吃准了她，知道无论怎样对待她，她都不敢离婚？等到发现她真的要离婚时，他就怂了？ 这也太贱了吧？ 她坐在楼梯上等Kevin，头靠在墙上，竟然睡着了，还做了个梦，梦见她和Kevin在举行婚礼，但她还穿着刷墙服，老在担心衣服太短，被人看见大腿。而她的儿子，好像还才三四岁，抱着她的腿，大声哭喊：“妈妈你不要走！妈妈你不要走！” 她想抱起儿子，但儿子赖在地上不起来。 Kevin在催她：“快走呀，再不走就来不及了！” “我儿子他……” “没事，让他哭吧，哭会儿就没事了。” 她心里好难受，他怎么能这样？难道不知道儿子是她的命？ 她蹲地上去抱儿子，儿子还是不肯起来，她把儿子拉站起来，但儿子的两条腿好像得了小儿麻痹症一样，是软软的，没骨头，拉直了，一放，又软瘫下去了。她伤心地捧着儿子的腿哭：“小龙，妈妈对不起你……” Kevin走过来，冷冷地说：“你还说你可以为爱情不顾一切，但你看看你现在！” 她的心像撕裂了一样疼痛，两边都是她最爱的人，放弃任何一边都会要她的命。 她哀告：“我不能没有儿子。” “那你只能没有我了。” He walks away. 儿子倏一下站了起来，奶声奶气地说：“妈妈，叔叔走了！” 王莙从自己的噩梦中吓醒过来，浑身的冷汗。 她立即给儿子打电话，儿子刚踢了球回来，冲了凉，在吃冰镇西瓜。她急切地问：“你的腿，没事吧？” 儿子不懂：“我的腿？” 她使劲摇摇头，好像要把现实和梦境摇分离一样，然后问：“你爸爸，有没有给你打电话？” “你说哪天？” "Nowadays." “今天没有。” 她放心了，随便聊了几句，挂上了电话。 快十点了，看来Kevin今晚不会来了。也是，他知道她是有夫之妇了，还跑来干嘛呢？她的安危，理应由她的丈夫来关心，如果连她丈夫都不关心她，他一个外人干嘛要关心她？ 她站起身，准备开车回家，明天再来找他。但她的腿脚都麻了，站不起来，只好坐那里使劲揉两腿。 正揉着，她听到了门铃声，知道是Kevin，她生怕没人开门他会转身走掉，大声喊道：“你用钥匙开门吧！” 外面的人在用钥匙开门。 门被推开了，果然是Kevin！但他站在门边，没进来。 她拼命站起身，趔趄着走到门边。 他惊奇地看着她：“你怎么了？” “我腿脚坐麻了。” “你，在这儿坐多久了？” “三四个小时吧。” “干嘛在这里坐三四个小时？” "waiting for you." 他呆呆地看着她。 她问：“你，听到我的留言了？” “没有，你留言了？” "Ok." 他摸出电话，想来听留言，她制止了：“不用听了，就是叫你过来这里，我有话对你说。” 他把手机放进裤兜里，问：“你今天去'福临门'了？” “嗯，你怎么知道？” “我也去了。” “你不是说再不去那里了吗？” “嗯，我说话不算数，送上门来让你杀让你剐的。” 她无奈地笑笑，问：“你去那里干嘛？” 他一笑：“你去那里干嘛？” “我去……向老板娘澄清一下……” “结果没澄清，还被她灌了一脑子浆糊吧？” 她不好意思地一笑：“是有点搞糊涂了呢。” 他指指屋里面，问：“我可不可以进来……站一下？” 她这才意识到自己把他堵在门外，慌忙让到一边：“进来，进来，进来……站一下。” 他进来，把门关上。 她抱歉说：“家里……空荡荡的，连坐的地方都没有。” “谁说连坐的地方都没有？”他指着已经铺好地板的几级楼梯，说，“你坐这儿吧。” 她乖乖地在楼梯上坐下。 他没坐楼梯，坐在她对面的地上，两手抱着膝盖，看着她。 她问：“你去'福临门'找……她了？” "Ok." "Why are you looking for her?" “警告她一下。” "What did she say?" “她说你去找过她了，你告诉她，你很爱你的丈夫和孩子，绝对不会跟一个做地板的偷渡客有什么……” 她嚷起来：“她瞎说！” “瞎说是她的中间名。” “她也对我瞎说你了。” “是吗？是不是说我跟每个客户都……有一腿？” "Ok." “你相信吗？” “我，有点相信。” "why?" “因为你，那么迷人……” “你傻呀！我怎么会跟那些人有一腿？我是那样的人吗？” “你……我也不知道你是不是那样的人。” “你不是说了吗，我是个要就不爱，要爱就要全心全意爱的人，我怎么会跟我不爱的人，做那些？那还不如我自己搞定，也省得……侍候人。我以为你最了解我，但是你……” 她做个制止的手势：“这个不重要。” “那什么重要呢？” “她还说了你……别的东西。” “是不是说我杀过人？” “嗯，你知道？” “你相信吗？” “我……不相信。但是她说她保留着证据，是一把枪，上面有你的指纹。” “你没叫她把枪拿出来你看看？” 她坦白说：“我叫了，想趁她把枪给我看的时候，就把上面的指纹擦掉。” 他忍不住笑起来：“你不怕背上一个毁灭证据的罪名？” “我不怕，只要她没法告发你就行。” “你，叫我怎么说你呢？” “你还有心思笑？” “那怎么了？难道你希望我哭？” “不是希望你哭，至少是……很重视，因为这关系到你的……生死问题。” “没那么严重，你别听她吓唬你。” “到底是怎么回事？我是说你和她……从头到尾……两个人的版本全都不一样。” “我和她的事，只有我和她知道，所以就是一个he said,she said（公说公有理，婆说婆有理）的事，全看你相信谁了。” “我……相信你，但是你没把事情的全部告诉我……” “你想听？” “太想听了。” “那我就讲给你听。不过你听了肯定会说我是疯子。” 她保证说：“肯定不会说你是疯子。” “说了打嘴哈？” "Row." “怎么说呢？我偷渡之前就知道她结婚了。” “你知道她结婚了还偷渡过来找她？” “她叫我过来。” “但她没告诉你她结婚了？” “告诉了啊。” “告诉了还过来，你疯……” 他笑起来：“看看，我说你会说我疯了吧？该我打你的嘴了。” 她把嘴伸过去：“打吧。” 他只笑，但没打。 她解释说：“我的意思是……你爱得太疯狂了。” “现在连我自己都觉得我那时爱得太疯狂了，但当时不觉得呀，反而觉得自己的爱情很伟大，风雨无阻，战无不胜。我告诉过你，她那时一心想出国，没事就到老外多的地方去逛，见到老外就上去搭讪，但都没成功，就是有个白人老头，答应把她办出来，就真的把她办出来了……” “办结婚出来的？” “不是，那个白人老头很精，根本没打算跟她结婚，只帮她办了个B签证（商务或旅游签证），给她租了间房，和她同居。她闹了很久，软硬兼施，那个白人老头才答应和她结婚。” “那不是挺好的吗？” “当时还是可以的。但那个老头很快又找了新的二奶，也是在中国公干时认识的，又把别人办来美国，那个人很有钱，自己租了房子，和白人老头同居。” “这个白人老头，很帅吗？” “帅什么呀，快六十的人了，很大的啤酒肚子……” 她感叹说：“有些中国女孩真是……太崇洋媚外了，就这么普普通通一美国老头，就能这么容易地迷惑一个又一个年轻女孩……” “她就是在那种情况下叫我到美国来的。” “也养个……二爷，跟那个白人老头扯平？” 他笑了笑：“可能是这个意思吧。” “那你就来了？” “我？我那时是她手里的一条狗，随时都在等候她的吩咐，她叫我往东就往东，她叫我往西就往西，别说是叫我偷渡，就算是叫我去死，我都会毫不犹豫地答应。” “只能说你太爱她了。” “也不是太爱她了，就是你说的，太爱那种……爱一个人的感觉了，当你全心全意爱一个人的时候，你会感到生命是那么有意义，每一分钟，每一天，都活得那么充实……” “那你过来之后……有没有跟她……” “当然有，这就是她叫我过来的目的嘛。” “那个白人老头……没发现？” “怎么会没发现呢？没发现对她来说就没有意义了。” “你跟白人老头……打起来了？” “没有，她不会让我跟白人老头打起来的。” “她只是要用你激起白人老头的嫉妒，挽回他的心？” He nodded. 她好奇地问：“挽回了吗？” “没有。白人老头说，既然你已经找到情夫了，就不用缠着我了，我们分手吧。” “啊？弄巧成拙啊？” “于是她又叫我去勾引白人老头的……二奶……” “你去勾引了？” 他点点头：“我是一个很坏的人吧？” “不是，你是……被爱情弄昏头了。你……成功了吗？” “成功了，还按照她设计的，让白人老头在床上逮住了我和他的二奶。” “这次白人老头肯定回到……你女朋友那里去了。” “嗯，回是回去了，但一有机会就跑中国去勾引女孩子。” “那你女朋友怎么办？” “她对我哭诉，说她丈夫打她，骂她，性虐待她，她实在忍受不下去了，叫我把白人老头杀了。” 她担心地问：“你……你不会连这个也听她的吧？” “我那时像她一条忠实的狗，怎么会不听呢？” “你真的……杀人了？” “她把一切都安排好了，约定了时间，让我闯进她家，用枪打死那个白人老头，再把她捆起来，奸污她，把现场弄成抢劫强奸杀人现场，然后让我跑回中国去
