mr frank is faithful to love

(FR. Hilde Frank)

We stayed in the yard of Grandpa Ethan's house for a whole day. We left after nine o'clock at night, when the old man was going to sleep.

This place can be regarded as stealing a piece of quiet in the noisy capital city. It is the place where Ethan has lived since he was a child. In the morning, he stepped on slippers and squatted in the sun, looking at the dry short grass on the ground, thinking about it, raised his eyes and rushed I hold out my hand.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"My headband, I tie my hair."

Ethan was shaking his wrist, and I found the black rubber band that held his hair in place from under my sleeve, and handed it to him, and he tied his hair while curling his mouth, looking unhappy.

"What's wrong? Why are you unhappy?" I asked.

Ethan stood up, slipped on his slippers, looked at me, and said, "You're going to fly again."

In this moment of sweetness and sadness, the radio on the windowsill is still broadcasting the news, Ethan's hair is tied up, and I hug him, and he hugs me.

He hugged my waist, made a reluctant sound in his throat, and put his forehead on my shoulder.

I said, "Yes, I have to fly again, there is no way."

"Can you not fly? Can't you not fly?"

I put my hand and forearm around Ethan's head, squeezed his ear on the other side, and said, "I don't want to fly either, Beijing is so nice, I don't want to fly either."

Then, Ethan didn't say anything, hugged me, clinging to me and acting like a baby, I was still hugged by Ethan when I answered the phone, and later, when the aunt at home came out, Ethan let go of his hands.

He told me: "My grandparents don't know about it yet, and they don't like surfing the Internet, so they don't know about gossip, and Zuo Lin and my mother didn't tell them about it."

"Don't say it deliberately," I told him in a low voice, "just let it be."

Ethan straightened the hair blown to his cheeks by the wind, and he suddenly laughed, because his eyebrows were black, his eyelashes were black, and his skin was clean, so under the sun, his face was vivid and bright.

"I want to go to Germany and see your family too," he said.

It sounded like he wasn't proposing or asking, but he seemed to be pleading piously, and asked me again: "Don't you want to go home? You haven't gone back for so long."

The winter wind lives in the sun, crawling a little bit on people, the corners of the clothes fly up, the face is slightly cold, and the hair is a little messy. Seeing Ethan smiling so happily, I couldn't help laughing, I said: "Okay .”

I hid with him on the other side of the sun room, and he hugged my waist again. When I was smiling, I held one of his cheeks and kissed him. In the middle of the kiss, I said, "Okay, let's go back together."

In the evening, when it was time to eat dinner, Ethan’s grandpa came back. Ethan bumped my shoulder outside the restaurant door and said, “I told my grandma that you are my boyfriend, and she said you are very good and capable, Tall, handsome, everything is good, the most important thing is that you treat me well, she sees it."

"said……"

"Yes, but I haven't told the old man yet, but the old lady knows, she called the old man in the afternoon," Ethan washed his hair at noon, it was soft and untied, and he let me play with him He said, "I don't care what anyone thinks, but I'm quite surprised to see the old lady accepting it so easily and willingly, and I feel very happy now."

There were tears in Ethan's eyes, and he didn't laugh out loud, but he smiled so beautifully, so comfortably, so contentedly.

"Thank you, and thank you to your family." I was so excited that I couldn't control myself. I kissed Ethan lightly on the mouth, and he rushed to hug me. The aunt who finished cooking came out of the dining room and stood by the two of us. behind.

She still smiled so gently, and said in a gentle Beijing accent: "Yao'er, your... friends came in for dinner."

"My boyfriend, Aunt Li, he is my boyfriend," Ethan said, "I met you today, let me introduce you, and everyone will be familiar with him in the future."

"Okay, got it, Yao'er, come in with your boyfriend."

The lights in the yard were dim, but it was very warm in the winter night. My aunt cooked a table of dishes, and there was no grand atmosphere. Everyone sat around and talked about homely things.

This courtyard is the root of the Zuo family, which is different from what many people imagined. Mr. Zuo came to Beijing from Shandong when he was young and started from scratch, so he is still a practical and thrifty person. The old lady used to be the eldest lady in the capital. The book is not so trendy, the two lived together from the poor, and gradually have a rich and orderly Zuo family, and then, the famous Zuo family, and three independent sons and daughters.

These are what Ethan told me. He said: "Without them, I have nothing now. Really, I rely on them all, so I feel a little ashamed."

He also said: "Living with my mother for so long, I feel a little alienated from the old man."

At this point, I realized that this is Ethan's real utopia. Once, he left here, bid farewell to his childhood, walked into the campus, had communication with strangers, and spent a long time running the lukewarm relationship between him and Ms. Zuo affection.

There was red wine on the dinner table. I originally wanted to help Ethan drive, so I didn't plan to drink it, but Ethan said: "You drink it, I don't drink it, I drive it myself."

I toasted the old couple, and I was still thinking about how to address them. I said: "Seniors, I have disturbed you all day today. I am here for the first time. If there is any offense, please bear with me. Now that the two elders know, I There is no need to deliberately hide anything, so today I confess to your elders that Zuo Boyao and I are together, yes, we like each other, we love each other very much, and we will live together for the rest of our lives. I hope your elders will be tolerant, Nothing else, I really bothered you today, and thank you for the great hospitality."

I had two drinks here, planning to toast my aunt, but Ethan snapped his fingers at his grandpa and said, "What's wrong? Grandpa, are you frozen?"

"I answered your grandma's call at noon, and I told her 'that little brat is joking with you again, don't believe it', but as soon as I got home, I felt it was true."

"Look, look again, do I seem to be joking?"

"Understood, no," Mr. Zuo nodded to Ethan, then turned his eyes to me and said, "Okay, young man, sit down and don't drink too much."

Ethan raised his eyebrows and said triumphantly, "Look, the old man and the old lady just love me, and everything I do is right."

When we were leaving at night, the two elderly people and their aunts sent us to the door together. Grandma also brought Ethan the freshly bought snacks in the morning. They were very simple and different from some rich people I had seen. The most essential appearance of the Chinese people is optimistic, industrious, and tolerant. They are gentle, but also decisive.

Because I don’t live here often, I went back to Ethan’s place and drove downstairs. Ethan was carrying his snacks, I was carrying Ethan’s bag, and he was holding my coat sleeve with one hand, and said, “Run, run, It's cold."

In the elevator, I stood face to face with Ethan in the corner, he hugged the box of snacks to his chest, looked at the top button of my coat for a while, then looked up at my face, at my Eye.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

Ethan curled his lips and said, "It's nothing."

I tilted my head slightly and moved closer to Ethan, and when our noses were about to collide, Ethan closed his eyes and we kissed again.

I want to kiss almost anytime and anywhere, I feel that I love him more than before, I have more trust, so I have a tacit understanding and a sense of security, immersed in the satisfaction of being the only loved and the only love, feeling that everything in life is OK

The elevator door opened, and there was a neighbor on the same floor outside. Ethan pushed me with his gloved hand, very lightly, without any force. Later, when we both got out of the elevator, he was still pounding my back with his fist.

It looks fierce, but actually very gentle, Ethan gritted his teeth and said, "You are so annoying."

"It's okay, people won't notice."

Ethan said as he took off his coat, "I have a thin skin."

I changed my shoes, washed my hands, put on a T-shirt, and rested on the sofa for a while. Ethan went to take a shower first. I packed my bag and I can take it directly to the airport tomorrow.

Later, I lay on the sofa and almost fell asleep. When I was about to fall asleep, I was awakened. Ethan was crawling on top of me. ?"

"I stayed up late the night before yesterday to catch up with work, and I flew to Beijing yesterday morning." He lay on top of me, and I hugged him, and continued, "I stayed up so late with you last night, isn't it hard not to be tired?"

"Last night...can that be called suffering?" Ethan was aggrieved and asked, "Are you blaming me?"

"No," kissed Ethan's forehead on the side of my neck, and said, "Baby, it's not your fault."

"It's just been back for a day, aren't you very strong?"

Hearing this, I finally understood that this kid just wanted to provoke me on purpose. His palm was on my shoulder, and he came up to kiss me without saying a word. When I come back to look for you, there are only a few days left, and then I will stay with you."

I suspect that I fell asleep while talking, and then I really fell asleep. When I woke up, it was past one o'clock in the night, and I saw that the overhead light in the living room was turned off, and Ethan turned on the floor lamp and was sitting on the carpet. Playing games and covering me with a blanket.

He turned his head and asked, "Are you awake?"

"Well," I immediately remembered the conversation before going to bed, sat up suddenly, and said, "I'm sorry, I'm really sleepy, I flew five times in ten days, and I still have two days to ride the train."

Ethan looked at me calmly for a while, then put down his phone, crawled along the carpet, put half of his face on the edge of the sofa, and smiled at me.

"Poor thing," he said, "if you don't have to come back to see me, you can have a good weekend off."

"No," I said, "it's my own wish to come back to you."

I rubbed Ethan's cheek, and he grabbed my hand and said, "When we come back from Cologne, I will go to Shanghai to look at the house, and then we will live together, so we don't have to run back and forth."

"It doesn't matter if I run for a while," I said, "but you are from Beijing, how can Beijingers leave Beijing at will?"

"Beijingers don't have such rules." Ethan yawned as he spoke. He stood up from the carpet and urged me to wash up.

He suddenly jumped on my back, and I carried him to the bedroom.

is the countdown

It’s Chapter 2, I’m really sad, but the story will always end, and my journey with it, as agreed, from summer to winter, I’m not happy from beginning to end, but fortunately, the ending is warm.The next chapter is the 8k+ trip to Cologne. In fact, the sweet part is the most difficult for me to write. I don’t want to be stereotyped, and I don’t want people to feel that the norms are boring. I still hope that every part of my article will be a surprise and unique , can represent me, and they are not the same as others. I still haven’t escaped the freeze in the middle of writing this article, and even almost lost confidence, but I still worked hard to find a satisfactory development.Thank you to everyone who saw this!See you tomorrow for the final chapter!
