Chapter 40 Chapter two

Thirty years old this year, with a slightly fat body, Gray sat behind the large marble dining table in the restaurant. He folded his hands and nodded silently, waiting for his young and beautiful fiancée to bring delicious dishes from the kitchen—this feeling is really It's wonderful. When Dilly brought the last course to the table, she took off her apron and sat across from Gray. At this moment, Gray rested his head on his hands and looked at his fiancée motionlessly: Although Di Li was only four years younger than him, she looked younger than her actual age.She is fair-skinned, well-proportioned, with big black eyes and long brown hair.

Dilly noticed Gray was staring at her and asked, "Honey, what are you looking at?" "I'm admiring the work of heaven," Gray said. "My dear, you are so charming." "Oh, Gray, thank you for your compliment." Dilly shook her head and smiled, "But please don't choose when I just came out of the kitchen. I believe that the only attractive things about me now are oily smoke and onion smell." "Even so, I like it." "Okay, stop being glib. Gray, try my cooking." Gray put a piece of fried steak in his mouth and said, "First class."

"Thank you." Dilly raised her glass, "Grey, for our new home." "For our new home." Gray smiled and raised his glass, touched Di Li, and drank it down. Ten minutes after eating, Di Li looked at Gray and said, "Honey, can you tell me now? Why did you tell me today that you have such a luxurious big house after we have known each other for more than half a year?" "Because I want to give you a surprise." Gray raised his eyebrows and said. "But, what about the small apartment you used to live in? You wouldn't spend money to rent another bachelor apartment just to surprise me, and leave such a good house empty? The price is too high gone."

"Look, Dilly, this house is nice, but it's a suburban villa. It's too far from where I work. It would be inconvenient for me to live here," Gray said, "and , I don’t need to live in such a big house when I’m alone.” Dilly nodded thoughtfully. After a while, she frowned slightly and said, "Grey, I can tell that this house must be worth a lot of money. Well, I don't understand...how do you have such a big house?" Gray shrugged: "Obviously, with the income of an ordinary civil servant like me, it is impossible to afford such a big house—this house was passed down from our family. When I was twenty-seven years old, After my father died of illness in 1999, I became the owner of this house. But I hardly ever lived here.”

"Oh..." Di Li showed great interest, "Then this house should have a lot of history, right?" Gray took a sip of the wine, nodded and said, "It should have a history of more than a hundred years. According to my father, it was designed and built by a famous French architect during the Republic of China." "No wonder," Dilly said, looking up at the gorgeous reliefs on the ceiling, "I think the architectural style of this house is a bit different, as if it was written by a master." "You are so knowledgeable about architecture?" "Honey, you seem to have forgotten what I study." Dilly said, looking at Gray.

"Oh, that's right." Gray patted his forehead, "You are engaged in garden design, and you should also have some research on architecture." Di Li shook her head: "I can't talk about research, I just know a little bit." After taking a few mouthfuls of food, Di Li seemed to think of something again: "You just said that you hardly live in this house, so who will feed Katz?" "I've been putting Kaz in the next-door neighbor's house. The hostess loves dogs very much, and after her husband died, she was very lonely at home alone, and she also hoped to have a sensible dog to keep her company - yesterday When I brought Kaz back from her home, she was still a little bit reluctant."

"I would have done it too," Dilly said. "Kats is a sweet, human dog." Gray nodded, and he refilled both glasses. After drinking the fifth glass of wine, Di Li's voice became less smooth, and her eyes began to blur. She said drunkenly, "Grey, do you know? I came to this city from another place alone. , I am unfamiliar with the place, and I haven't even found a job yet... But, I met you. You have done a lot for me and provided me with such a good place to live...I, really appreciate you... " "Oh, honey, you're drunk." Gray left his seat, walked up to Di Li, and supported her with both hands, "What else do you say to thank me?"

"No, Gray. I really think so. It is a miracle arranged by God that I can meet you..." "Okay, okay." Gray helped her up, "I'll take you upstairs to the bedroom to rest." "Okay," Dilly said, "but don't hold me up, I don't think I'm that drunk yet, just hold my hand, Gray." He nodded obediently, then took his fiancée by the hand and walked up to a master bedroom on the second floor. Pushing open the door, Di Li went straight to the warm and soft big bed.Lying on the bed, I fell asleep within five minutes. Gray covered her with the quilt, said softly: "Have a good dream." Then he left the room.

That night, Di Li slept soundly. The first night passed peacefully like this.
