carol

The kingdom on the hillside greets its evening calmly.The chimneys of this house and that house spit out smoke one after another.

The maiden came in with some wet sticks, and saw the princess pulling up her golden hair, with her beautiful hair-pin in her mouth.The girl wanted to put down the firewood to help her do her hair, but thinking about it, it would dirty her instead... This hesitation, the princess has already settled her head neatly,

"Does your father like pumpkin soup?" the princess asked her, and as she went to the water-tank, the maiden crouched by the fire and began to burn the wood.

"He can eat anything...but I like pumpkin soup," she replied cheerfully, looking at the warm fire.After a while, I felt the princess coming, and even stroked her head.

The girl still clearly remembered that the day she and her father went to the palace was also in the evening, a gorgeous carriage suddenly stopped in front of her house, and a noble girl got off the carriage and just looked at her blankly.

She soon discovered that this young girl was a good friend who always played with her and herded sheep together.only…

The noble girl took her hand, went to the kitchen at the back of the house, closed the door, and said to her confused self:

"I'm sorry..." Then, he kissed her.

The girl's chest seemed to explode, and she realized that the other party had the same intention.

But what surprised her even more was that the girl in front of her was staring at her sadly, and...her face changed in the blink of an eye, her body grew taller...she, transformed into a mature and noble woman, and...

"I'm sorry, I'm the princess, and I've been cursed." As she spoke, countless crystal tears overflowed from her extremely sad eyes. Right in front of her eyes, the princess's appearance was about to grow old again... The girl had a strange feeling , as if knowing what to do, she hugged the princess forward and kissed her again.

"The firewood is ready, can you add more firewood? I think the fire should be bigger..." The princess's gentle voice came from her head, and the girl smiled and put the firewood in her hand into the furnace.Her face was also burned red and warm.

She stood up and leaned against the princess coquettishly. The princess touched her warm face, "Will you wash your hands? Help?"

The girl nodded, but she felt mischievously in her heart that it is obvious that the princess is not good at cooking... But she also thanked her, and always worked hard to learn the dishes in the palace to cook for her.

The princess stayed here almost most of the time, and the villagers were used to it.This hill is no longer threatened by neighboring countries, and it is even more peaceful and prosperous, because the royal family finally thought that they could share the cheese-making technology with neighboring countries. These adjacent hills, it is better to let each other’s sheep come and go freely , and work together to make cheese... This delicious and easy-to-preserve thing has always been very popular in neighboring countries on the other side of the kingdom, and they can exchange it for precious salt.The white magic powder, no matter what soup is added, it is like magic, making the food delicious.

Sometimes the princess loses her temper and turns into a little girl, and once she played all day, the girl would let her run and laugh freely.Although she originally fell in love with a girl of the same age, most of the time, the princess is still this elegant and gentle woman who always wants to take care of her and love her.And the girl can feel that it is the same soul, who is easily hurt, has many emotions, longs to be understood and cared for, and is the person who needs her most in the world.So she... just loves her more every day.

"Ruixin!" Kailuo's voice interrupted Tian Ruixin.

Rui Xin only felt that she couldn't leave the village with many lambs and the blonde beauty for a while.But Carol reached out from behind the chair to hug her,

"Don't write any more... Okay, I want to watch the next episode quickly, the last two episodes, I'm so nervous!" Kailo said in a coquettish tone.

Although I watched Korean dramas with Kailuo until one o'clock yesterday, Ruixin woke up suddenly in the morning and wanted to finish the story. I checked the time, and it was only ten o'clock...Kailuo really wanted to read it quickly. Her personality...just likes to take a breath Read the story.Rui Xin smiled helplessly, kissed Kai Luo's hand, pressed the save button and she stood up, watching Kai Luo pouted slightly, her heart immediately returned to the charming woman in front of her, Kai Luo was wearing glasses at home The look in pajamas... I suddenly feel so cute.The curse of the princess may not need to be lifted, the multiple looks... so cute and attractive!Thinking of this, Rui Xin stretched her waist and prepared to be couch potatoes with Kai Luo.

Ke Kailuo dragged Ruixin to the front of the TV. The 20th episode had already started. Ruixin's coke and snacks were all put on the table. She also made a pot of tea and took some biscuits.Everything is ready, only Rui Xin who stays silently in the study is missing.She just waited until the second drop of water slipped from the coke can, and decided... she must ask Rui Xin to come out and see!

"Aren't you curious about the ending?! Can he stay with her?" Finally, Rui Xin sat down on the sofa, Kai Luo asked her, and pressed the dial.

It is almost impossible to have a happy ending...the story of aliens and earthlings falling in love.If the aliens don't go back to their hometown, they will die, but they don't know how many light-years away!How should I come back...?Kai Luo was fascinated watching the TV screen, the beautiful heroine said: If you die by my side, I will die too.As long as I know you're still alive somewhere, I'm afraid I'll be able to live!Carol felt so agreed, he had to live!Ah...it's so poignant, and...the heroine is so beautiful...

Since Tian Ruixin started watching this Korean drama with Kai Luo the day before yesterday, she has actually been fascinated by it. She usually watches dramas with a sense of objectivity, and there is always some place in her head where she is commenting, thinking about why the plot is arranged in this way, and going on. What are the possibilities.But this Korean drama...combines love and sci-fi, but has exaggerated superpowers, plus many jokes and hilarious plots, and the actors are all chosen at the moment. nervous.The infatuated supporting actor, the hateful female best friend, and the extremely cute character settings of the hero and heroine, she really admires such rich and commercial settings that can fully entertain the audience.Especially the epilogue after each episode, it's so interesting!In the first half, she had already written these down in her notes, but Kai Luo always thought she was not paying attention, and she always wanted to read the whole day at a stretch, and Rui Xin was tired after reading... only relying on strength Dozed off on Kai Luo's soft body, anyway, when there is a big change in the plot, Kai Luo will naturally let her know excitedly.

"I'm worried about you disappearing suddenly again, so...I hope that time can be frozen forever...the moment we were together." The heroine confessed to the [-]-year-old but still handsome alien.

"Although my heart is very tired, and I always think about you... Maybe, after a long, long time, I will forget you? But when I see you again, I will still fall in love with you." She said.

Rui Xin felt very touched, yes... no matter what, she will fall in love.She smiled and turned to look at Carol... Oops!She cried with tears all over her face...

"Carol!" She rushed over to hug her, "Why are you crying like this!" She couldn't help but want to laugh,

"...um...so pitiful...they..." She took out the tissue and blew her nose first.

The perfect ending of the alien and the big beauty ended with the sound of Tian Ruixin's stomach growling.Ke Kailuo, who still couldn't get enough of it, was discussing the plot with Rui Xin while taking out the steak from the refrigerator that had been refrigerated and defrosted the night before.Rui Xin poured a pot of water into the pot with her left hand, let her challenge the "Carol Spaghetti" again today!Kai Luo seems to like softer noodles, this time roll it a little longer and try again, it should be ok!

While washing a large bowl of lettuce, the smell of Kailuo's fried steak almost drove Rui Xin crazy, and she swallowed wildly.

"Smells so good Carol..." she said bitterly.

"Come on..." Carol took a small piece of meat with chopsticks and came to the sink, "Hurry up, the rest will be picked up too..."

Rui Xin opened her mouth, but Kai Luo frowned, "No, this must be very hot..."

With an idea, Kailuo peeled off a piece of lettuce washed by Rui Xin with her left hand, and wrapped the steak in it.

"Eat it! It's the same as Koreans eat barbecue. Haha!" She watched Rui Xin chewing on this big mouthful of lettuce-wrapped steak, um... the girl's face narrowed with a smile, as if to say: Juicy! …Carol returned to the frying pan with satisfaction.

Seeing Rui Xin wolfing down the lunch that was almost two o'clock in the afternoon, Kai Luo had to tell Rui Xin to eat more slowly.But... I am also hungry.

"Carol, aren't you hungry?" Rui Xin seemed to like this meat wrapped in lettuce, she licked her mouth, got another portion, and asked Carol with her eyes if she wanted to eat,

"Eat it yourself, little hungry ghost." Seeing Rui Xin's appearance, Kai Luo might even bite her fingers down together!It is quite a pleasure to cook for such people. "I'm a little hungry..." She answered Rui Xin honestly.

"It's not good for your stomach. Every time you're hungry, you don't eat." Rui Xin covered her mouth and said while chewing. Her bulging cheeks are so cute.

"When are you going to have a gastroscopy? I'll check if it's painful...I can go with you!" Rui Xin was worried about Kailuo's stomach problem, but Kailuo kept putting off the examination.This is not good, we must find a way to drag her away...

"...Your noodles were cooked well this time!" Kailuo said to him in a hurry.Rui Xin knows her tricks, but she is also very happy that she likes this face-to-face.

"Chinese New Year... I decided to go abroad. Are you okay, Rui Xin?" Kailo asked her, taking a sip of the cold tea.Although it was cold, it went well with this heavy-tasting lunch, and she wondered if she should make a cup of iced tea for Rui Xin.

"I can... I'm looking forward to it! Carol." It's been almost a month since the world of the two of them is around the clock, and Rui Xin is still not tired of it.I didn't expect to be able to play abroad with Kai Luo again before going to work. It's really great!

"...Rui Xin, let me ask you a hypothetical question," Kailo put down the tableware,

"If I take you back to my house for New Year's Eve dinner, what do you think?" You should feel very bad, right?Kai Luo has her own answer in her heart, but she still wants to know Rui Xin's thoughts.

Rui Xin actually thought about this question, she wiped her mouth, leaned back in the chair, "Carol, I think..."

"If you take me back to your house for dinner, you will definitely worry about me all night, as if my uncomfortable feeling here and there is nervous, all ran to you..." Rui Xin is sure, "You will definitely explode with anxiety !"

Rui Xin continued: "Then if you go home to eat by yourself and come back after the meal, I just eat at home and maybe do some things on my own, and a few hours will pass! Then you come back, this Isn't it great?" Rui Xin explained the results of her analysis and comparison.

"But, of course, I'm willing to accompany you home!" Rui Xin actually really wanted to see Kai Luo's family. After hearing what she said, she especially wanted to get to know the elder brother. He seemed to be a very nice person.

"I just think that you will be more uncomfortable than me...but I can do it, do you understand?" Rui Xin was a little worried that Kailuo didn't understand what she meant, she was just analyzing objectively...

"...Well...maybe." Carol mused.Rui Xin leaned forward nervously, she wanted to confirm Carol's feelings.

Rui Xin hurriedly added: "The New Year's Eve dinner is actually just a meal, and I'll just eat my favorite food to celebrate!" Rui Xin tried her best to smile, but Kai Luo gave her a sideways look and asked her if she should Will eat McDonald's for New Year's Eve dinner...

But this is really a hypothetical question, Carol thought.After all, they are determined to go abroad this year.But in her heart, thinking of the label of "not married" on her, and on all homosexuals, she still has resentment,

"But I'm going to marry you one day," she blurted out, "and then...then I'm going to say,"

"Mywife and I already have plans, Sorry!" She realized that she was sorry, and unconsciously imitated the funny tone of an actress in a Korean drama. She was amused by herself and burst out laughing!

Seeing Rui Xin also smiling, her heart is full of sweetness, but... there is still a trace of uneasiness; same-sex marriage has been controversial in society since the time Rui Xin was hospitalized. real.What's more... She couldn't help but stare at Rui Xin's plain fingers on the table. She hasn't proposed to Rui Xin yet, and now she's brazenly saying something...

"Carol? What about Lingling? How does she celebrate the New Year?" Seeing what Carol seemed to be thinking, Rui Xin made her think of Lingling.

"She and Zhai He go to their party, big family." Kai Luo didn't think too much about this matter, "Actually, there are quite a few children, cousins ​​and brothers, who are quite crazy and happy to play together... "It's true for children, but for adults, that big battle is really terrible. Every year before, my mother-in-law was so anxious that she would go crazy. In fact... they should go to Dr. Xu to get an anti-anxiety medicine. Yes, Chinese New Year is really terrible.

"I heard that Zhai He will also take Lingling abroad, during the Chinese New Year." Carol thought, "Together with Helen." I feel that their relationship is going well, maybe they will get engaged or even get married directly after going abroad together?

"Then, do you want us to go to the same place together?" Rui Xin asked suddenly,

"Ah?!" Carol blinked, feeling that Rui Xin's proposal...was a bit ridiculous, right?

"That is, we can... play with Lingling together, go out together..." Rui Xin whispered more and more,

Carol laughed again, "How embarrassing the atmosphere will be! MyGod..." She couldn't stop laughing,

"Ouch! I just wish we could spend more time with Lingling!" Rui Xin pouted.With a cute and angry look, Carol couldn't help stretching out her hand and pinching her face.

Carol folded these clothes that had been dehumidified for half a day. In the wet and cold Taipei winter, the most troublesome thing was washing and drying clothes.Although there is a dryer, some clothes still cannot be dried.She caressed Rui Xin's stack of clothes, and now her hands and injuries have almost recovered, she can move around, dress carefully, she can raise her hands to put on clothes, and she can... Carol's thoughts drifted to yesterday morning, Rui Xin As soon as Xin opened her eyes, she said that she had a nasty dream, and asked Kai Luo to..., what a scary young man.Even though she thought so, Kai Luo sweetly smiled to herself...

"What are you laughing at, Carol? Is there anything funny about folding clothes?" Rui Xin came in wiping her hair, washing her hair was no longer a problem, although Carol was still worried, but Rui Xin got really angry once , asking her to stop worrying endlessly.She also assured Carol that if she felt uncomfortable, she would tell her to put her mind at ease.But in fact, of course Carol would be worried, just like now, she watched her wipe her head with her left hand...

"Little Kailuo, you..." Rui Xin came over and put the index finger of her right hand on her lips, "Are you worried about my hand?"

She actually saw it through... "Yeah."

"I'm fine, shampoo is OK! Cooking noodles is OK! And..." She looked at Kai Luo mischievously, and Kai Luo grabbed her right hand and kissed it.

"Okay, okay...I see." Carol wanted to relax herself, she knew about this, Rui Xin was right.

"Tomorrow... I'm going to the company to talk about going to work next year!" After blowing her head, Rui Xin sat on the bed, and Kai Luo also put away all the folded clothes.

"Carol, I'm wondering... Should I just start working as a screenwriter, maybe as an assistant first?" Rui Xin asked suddenly,

"You mean, do you not want to be a reporter?" Carol also sat down.

"Um... I don't know either. What do you think I should do?"

Carol became serious, she knew this was a serious topic, "Your job as a reporter has been around for almost a year, right?"

"Correct."

"Do you know what the career development of a reporter is like? What kind of work will you be in contact with in the first few years?" Carol asked.

"Hmm...it seems to be the same all the time... right?" Rui Xin tilted her head and thought hard, "Some senior sisters have the title of 'Senior Reporter'...and then they are Assistant Manager Chen..."

"Is the senior reporter different from your current job content?"

"Well, the main reason is that they have more experience, they can do better, and they are also competent for important tasks." Rui Xin replied.

"That's it, this job is hard to come by, isn't it?" Not only is Carol proud of Rui Xin, but she also knows that Rui Xin is proud of her work, "It mainly depends on your attitude towards this job." Looking forward to the future? Or not looking forward to it?"

"Well... Actually, I am very interested, and I always feel that I have a sense of mission..." Rui Xin always confessed to Kai Luo.

Carol nodded, "However, you can still weigh the two options. Even if you like the job of a reporter, you can still give it up for something more important and you like..." She looked into Rui Xin's listening eyes.

"Do you understand the job content of a screenwriter?" Kai Luo continued to ask, while also thinking: With the help of Director Ge, it may not be a problem to enter the industry, but...

"How can I really make my debut?" Carol asked.

"Maybe I need to win an award...or start as an assistant to an unnamed screenwriter..." Rui Xin asked Sister Ding this question before.

Carol continued to nod.She still thought in her heart: I don't know how the editor's salary is, but it's not very important, and I will fully support her ideal.But what about Ruixin?Rui Xin might be very concerned?

Kai Luo asked Rui Xin's thoughts: "The salary... may be a little different from that of a reporter?"

"It seems to be a lump sum, not a monthly salary..." Rui Xin has indeed investigated, but she is not very clear about the exact figure.

"You can first understand the two options clearly, and then think about the choice, or you may even be able to take care of both..." Kai Luo told her gently, she wanted to share her experience with Rui Xin:

"In life... there are many possibilities, but you must be clear about what you think is important..." For me, Rui Xin, you are the most important... Although Carol thinks so, but it seems that now is not the time to confess,

"Career, or your ideal, your self-realization, or fame, or income, these different things may have to be done according to the importance you think in your limited time and energy. trade-off,"

Carol thought for a while, and then added: "Of course, there are other levels..."

"For example, you, my Carol, this project is the most important!" Unexpectedly, it was Rui Xin who said it first.

"Well..." Carol smiled, feeling very happy in her heart, "Sometimes there are different projects that complement each other. For example, my younger brother and my younger siblings are working hard together..."

She continued: "Sometimes, there is also a sequential relationship. For example, reporters have more contacts, which makes it easier for you to get materials for what you want to write... Your ideals and your job can be in chronological order. Do you understand?" Kai Luo asked her, but when she saw Rui Xin's clever eyes, she knew that she had fully understood, Rui Xin smiled and stared at her seriously.

"Of course, if you have ideals and ambitions for important things, it's also good to pursue them desperately and with all your strength. So I will not object to your resignation and start working as a screenwriter immediately. I will support you."

Rui Xin was very touched that Kai Luo would support her.She listened to Kailuo's earnest explanation...Kailuo's appearance when she was thinking about things seriously, her beautiful voice was teaching her these thoughts...Her heart, under Kailuo's meticulous care, was like being wrapped in a warm and extremely soft blanket with...

"But I think there is another factor that you need to consider, that is, the cultivation and help that your colleagues, like Fuli Chen and others, give you. You have only worked for a year, and it may be time to show your strength next. Therefore, from the company's From a point of view, I definitely want you to stay." Carol looked at Rui Xin's smile, and couldn't help reaching out to touch Rui Xin's head.She knew that Rui Xin's work ability was excellent, and it was the same from his supervisor's attitude.

"I also think it would be too disrespectful if I leave now..." Rui Xin blinked, sat up straight suddenly and said,

"Well, how important is this 'loyalty' to you?" Carol asked her,

"It's very important! Everyone treats me so well, I can't be ruthless!"

"Well... look at your physical strength and schedule..." Carol thought about it, and made a suggestion:

"If screenwriters have to win awards first, maybe you can write after work?" In fact, this is what Rui Xin has been doing.

Rui Xin nodded, she felt that this was indeed the best way at present.Still, she wanted to share her feelings with Carol:

"Actually... because of the documentary we watched last week..."

Carol was also deeply impressed by the documentary. It was a lesbian mother who had an unfortunate marriage and is now a grandmother, as well as the many dialogues and daily observations of the director's daughter. Very touching.

"I think a work like this is great! Even though it's a documentary... ouch! What am I talking about..." Rui Xin was really embarrassed, and she thought to herself: Documentaries and screenwriters... shouldn't have anything to do with each other, right?Eh... is it?

"I think documentaries also need screenwriters... just like this one is very good, it doesn't mean it's unreal... or that it's not good... well...how should I put it..." Kailo couldn't finish her sentence for a while, so she Talk to Ruixin, while revising your own thoughts and statements...

They talked like this until late at night. In this very cozy and intimate communication, Carol once got up to pour a glass of water. She admitted that she had thought of the Whiskey she always drank at night; but such a deep conversation with Rui Xin, It has satisfied and relaxed her, and she knows she doesn't need alcohol anymore.She wants to experience life soberly, experience love with Rui Xin, and their happiness.

At noon the next day, Rui Xin finished talking with Chen Fuli and stepped out of the TV station.

She was very excited, unexpectedly... unexpectedly such a good result!I have the opportunity to be a journalist and do what I want!

Fuli Chen told her that after she is more familiar with the work, she will be qualified to propose the topics she wants to do, and let her allocate time to interview topics that she is interested in and recognized by the company.The range of issues can be very wide. After all, what is worth paying attention to in society is not all those things that are not important on the third day; there are many things that must be discovered and revealed by them in order to help society understand.

At this time, Tian Ruixin's heart was full of longing for future work, as if a little yellow sun was lighting up on her chest, she was so excited, she wanted to shout and run!I want to open my notebook and plan now!

And Ke Kailuo is heading to the TV station. The weather is very good today. Dr. Xu once told her that getting more sun is good for both body and mind, as well as exercise; he asked her to take the MRT or bus sometimes, and the rest Try walking the next way.After she tried it once or twice, it seemed that her insomnia problem had improved, and her body was indeed quite comfortable.So she took the MRT early to find Ruixin.

Although they made an appointment at the restaurant opposite Ruixin's company, it was still early, and she thought she could pick her up at the door.While waiting for the red light, she looked at the gate of the TV station, trying to find Rui Xin.The red light is very long. There may be some activities in the park next to the TV station that just ended. Crowds of people filled the entrance of the TV station and this intersection, and some were waiting for the red light.Her eyes searched among the far, full crowd.

At the green light, Carol moved forward through the crowd, still searching for the small, beautiful figure.The automatic door of the TV station opened again, Rui Xin came out, she had a sunny smile on her face, Kai Luo's hands were trying to cover the noon sun, but Rui Xin in her eyes seemed to be an angel, standing in the crowd shine.She didn't know she was coming towards her.

When Tian Ruixin saw her, that sweet smile broke out and melted Ke Kailuo's heart.

Carol almost wanted to hug her.Regardless of whether it is appropriate or not, no matter where it is, no matter what time and space they are in.

"You came?"

"Why are you so happy?" They asked each other at the same time, and then both laughed softly.

"Carol! I want to meet many lesbians. I want to know them and write their stories!" Rui Xin can't wait to tell Caro the lofty ambitions in her heart.

Of course Carol understands her, just like Rui Xin will be the person who understands her best in the world.

"Well... no problem, I will help you. But..." Carol looked at her miracle angel, and she could feel the courage to confess from the bottom of her heart:

"You can only love me forever and ever."

Among the crowd in Dongyang, they held hands and supported each other tightly.

The author has something to say:

Carol is over.Thanks for watching!

※Thank you Sunrise for helping me with this story and in many ways! <3

postscript:

Carol: A person who has everything, but thinks that she is not worthy of being loved and not worthy of happiness;

Tian Ruixin (Therese): A person who has nothing but unwavering love can save and reverse another suffering soul.

This is the basic setting I wrote at the beginning. In the past two days, I flipped through the notes at the beginning. It turned out that I wanted to bring about the plight of women and homosexuals in the workplace, I wanted to bring about equal rights and same-sex marriage, I wanted to explore relationships, and I wanted to introduce psychology. Or the issue of alcoholism or a serious illness of a partner.I'm greedy and nagging, so I made the story too long...

Carol and Therese are the stories of Damagedgood and Angel, and it is often the story of how these two people who fall in love with various subjective and objective differences overcome conflicts and show positive love.As if homosexuality alone is not difficult enough, age differences, social class differences must be added, and one of the people above has to have a problem in his heart...it has to be so extreme...and then overcome it, is it powerful enough? !This is the setting given by the original Highsmith, what a big difficulty!I have worked hard and enjoyed this cracking process, and you who accompany me all the way, I hope this is also a good memory for you?

Destined to meet again, please like me, always believe in the beauty of love, okay?
