[The Big Bang Theory] Cohabitation strategy

Pasadena near Christmas is very atmospheric. The windows are full of green, red and white decorations, and Christmas trees are everywhere. They are placed at the door of the store, covered with golden ornaments and candy canes.I looked sideways at the passing Christmas trees outside the car window, and it was really... very festive.

I enjoyed the Christmas atmosphere so much, I was so engrossed in watching it that I almost forgot that Ivli was sitting next to me.

"Will you spend Christmas in the United States?" Evelyn asked me in a low and pleasant voice, and I broke away from the wait and see.

"Yes, I will." I replied, "I will return to China for the holidays in January."

From my angle, I can see that Yi Fuli slightly raised the corners of his mouth, and when he smiled, there were nice fine lines in his eyes, "Chinese New Year, right?"

"Yes!" I was a little excited.I do miss the sound of firecrackers very much. The firecrackers started to be fired from the early morning on the first day of the Lunar New Year, which made people unable to sleep, but I felt relaxed and festive physically and mentally.

Evelyn smiled at me, and then said in a very soft voice, "I should go back to England for Christmas."

He seemed to be talking to himself, but I heard it.This makes me feel... weird?

……U.K?Was he on vacation, or... was he actually British?

"Are you English, Ifly?" I asked.I never knew!If so, it seems a bit ironic, because I still liked him before, and I didn't even know this.

Evelyn raised his eyebrows in embarrassment, and his tone was apologetic, "Yes, I'm British. Forgive me for never mentioning it to you, I..."

I didn't want to embarrass him, so I said, "I understand, I understand, it's okay. I think you do look like an English gentleman, too, I did from the beginning."

In this way, it seems to be the case!His etiquette, behavior, and way of speaking seem to be different from Lao Mei, indeed—he should be from England.

—Of course, except for the day when he suddenly became bossy.

I thought that would make sense, and I had no discomfort or regret at all—regret that he hadn't told me.He's not someone I like anymore, so I don't really care if he's hiding some details from me, or doesn't think to tell me things at all.

Love makes people count, and I don't care about that at all now.

Yves seemed hesitant to speak, he pursed his lips a few times, I waited quietly for him to speak, but he didn't say anything.

The car soon stopped at the entrance of the hospital. There were two Christmas trees standing at the entrance, with cute white kittens and golden puppies hanging on them. At the entrance of the hospital, you could see many people with pets, wrapped in down jackets like me. I just hugged it... It seems a bit shabby.

But I don't care about that.

After entering the hospital, the doctor said after the examination that the kittens were fine, but one of them was a little red and swollen, and it would be fine after a few days of ointment.

I asked: "The temperature is lower than usual these days, can the kitten live outdoors?"

The doctor, probably from the Middle East, has dark skin and bright black eyes, and he is rubbing ointment on the kitten, "Oh, I think they may need to stay in a warm place until February next year, you can choose to send them to the homeless Cat shelter."

I nodded, thinking about going there for a while, Evelyn said suddenly: "I think I can keep them for a while, I have experience in raising cats."

I looked at him slightly surprised, and the doctor looked at him, "Of course, you can, but it's better to get vaccinated and then disinfected. There are a lot of bacteria on cats."

Ifly said, "Thanks, I see."

Not sure if he was saying that out of politeness, I asked him strangely, "Are you... serious?"

He nodded positively, "Yes, I used to have a Birman cat and a German Shepherd in my house, and they passed away eight years ago. I want to try the feeling of raising a cat again."

I couldn't help but be in awe, because... I've never kept animals... and covered my face.

"What about the mother cat? Will you come along too?" Will it agree...

Ifli touched the white cat's back, "I think it will be willing."

The white cat purred softly.

----------

After the vaccination, we went downstairs to buy cat litter, cat food, and cat litter.Evelee was supposed to pay, but I insisted on paying for medical treatment and vaccinations. He shook his head in disapproval and said, "Really, Kado, I'll pay for it."

But I don't want him to pay again. As a friend, if you're not a good girlfriend, it's better to be AA.

Yves couldn't resist me, he seemed a little anxious, and rubbed his chin lightly with his fingers, but with just this small movement, he was still very calm.I don't know why, I feel a little guilty, I don't know why.

I hugged the cat, Eveli carried the pet supplies we bought, and we got back in the car.He put the cat litter in the trunk before continuing to drive.

This time the atmosphere was a little dull, he didn't know what he was thinking, he stared at the road ahead, and kept silent.

I think it's kind of like the vibe before he "went crazy" that day.

He was also depressed that day, as if he was thinking about something on his mind, and kept silent.

I blurted out: "Evely Blake, that day, you broke up with your girlfriend?"

He jerked his head to look at me in amazement, his deep amber eyes showed... a strange emotion, and all I could tell was that he was probably shocked.

I said loudly: "Car... watch the road!!"

He turned his head and slammed the steering wheel before passing a car.

My heartbeat started to speed up, he looks like this... is he going to be angry again?

When I reflect on what I said, it really seems like I didn't go through my brain. In any case, this question is very rude.I apologized and immediately said, "I'm sorry, Ifli, I shouldn't have asked you that question."

Ivli took a deep breath, excited like a trapped wildebeest, and said to me, "No, I'll tell you, I should have told you...you should have known what happened."

He stopped and didn't continue talking, but he seemed to be clenching his teeth tightly, his knuckles were gripping the steering wheel, and they were slightly white.This look is a bit scary, I am afraid that I will say something that makes him sad, he should love his girlfriend very much, and I don't want to hurt someone who has reconciled with me.

Soon, he parked the car in the parking space, but he didn't get out of the car and didn't move. I don't like this embarrassing atmosphere. If I stay here, I might as well chat with Sheldon!why should i stay here

I said quickly: "I'm leaving, you don't have to send me back, can you take the kitten into the house by yourself?"

Ifli suddenly grabbed my hand!The strength made me "hiss" subconsciously, his pupils were almost golden yellow in the sun, staring at me made me feel extremely uncomfortable!No, it just terrified me! !

"Please let go..."

"I didn't mean to hurt you that day, Kado, I... I didn't mean to hurt you, I didn't have this idea at all, it's just... I..." When he spoke, he almost gritted his teeth, as if he was in more pain than me.It hurts me too, his strength is too great, my hand bones...

"I know you don't want to hurt me, you don't want to hurt anyone, but that's already happened!" I deliberately made myself stare at him, as if trying to see through his thoughts, "I just want one, a reasonable explanation now."

— a reasonable explanation.

This is what I have always wanted.

He looked at me panting and didn't speak for at least ten seconds.He seemed to be pondering his words, his chest rising and falling.

"Of course, I will tell you everything, and you will get a reasonable explanation. This is my obligation to you." Evelee covered his eyes, and put it down calmly after a long time, "But please forgive me for what I did to you Those things made me extremely uncomfortable and regretful.”

We looked at each other and I wondered if he was as confused and irritated as I am now, irritated by my stupidity and impulsive blindness, confused by our friendship.

Is this what I want?

What is circling in my mind is one bloody story after another, no, no, no, this kind of thing will never happen to me ==

Evelyn said, "Get out of the car, come into my house and sit for a while."

I froze for a while, and then felt disgusted with my evil thoughts.

What are you thinking! !

I got out of the car with the kittens in my arms, and the white cat jumped out of the car and barked twice, as if telling me "I'm here".Ifli took out cat food from the trunk, pointed to the three-story house across the road, with a garden, and many trees planted on both sides, and said, "My home, Cardo, welcome. "

I glanced sideways at Ifli, and the OS in my heart could hardly be concealed! !

...I'll go, why is it so luxurious! !

For a moment, I felt that he was my class enemy! ! ! !

Really, is he here to show off?Buying such a good house at such a young age, as a proletarian who can only rent a house, hmph... (in infinite thoughts)

----------

Ifli's home is very spacious and bright, and the decoration is very grand, the lines are simple, the light brown sofa and curtains are very beautiful, the dark carpet makes the whole living room less impetuous, and the white patterns dotted Keep the colors from being incongruous.There are no gorgeous lights as I imagined, but a few small lights around the elegant headlights.There is a floor-to-ceiling window next to the living room, through which you can see the garden. There are some documents scattered on the coffee table. I can almost imagine Eveli flipping through them while drinking tea.

Further inside there are stairs, leading to the second floor, the stairs are wooden.

His house is simple, but the breath of life is obvious. As an art student, I can't help but look at it and imagine the feeling of drawing it with a pen.I don't know if Ivli designed it himself or he asked someone to help. The decoration is very beautiful and the layout is well matched.

Ifli brought me slippers, a pair of hotel slippers.He said, "I'll put the cat down first. What would you like to drink? Tea or coffee?"

You don't have to drink something when you go to someone's house, "I don't need anything." I shook my head, "Is there anything I can do to help?"

Yi Fuli smiled slightly: "Of course not, you are my guest, I can't ask you for help, at least not for the first time."

...well, whatever.

I waited for him to leave with the cat in his arms, and then continued to look at his decoration, which is really exquisite... Comparing my bookcase with comics and books, his decoration is much better than mine.I am sitting on the sofa, and there is a painting on the wall facing me, impressionism, the dark evening, the light shining through the woods, and the back of the shepherdess wearing a straw hat... the light expressed by color The effect is very good, the key is that I don’t know if the paint is too much color, the woods look a bit dirty, but this kind of mess makes me feel happy and calm.

That is simply the most vivid part of this painting, and it highlights the feeling of dusk.

I was looking at the painting intoxicated, and Evelyn had already returned.He was wearing a casual dark blue shirt with the sleeves rolled up, exposing his strong forearms.

"I've got them on the veranda right by the garden," said Ifley, "and I think they'll like that nest."

I nodded, wondering when he would give his explanation. Although influenced by American culture, my speech has become quite straight, but occasionally I still feel reserved and difficult to speak.

But fortunately, Evelyn didn't forget his promise. He sat down beside me, stroking the sofa with his fingers, as if he was thinking.

Well, understand, he needs to organize his language.

Mr. Blake watched me, his eyelashes casting shadows in the sunlight from the French windows.

Tsk tsk, these eyelashes are really long.

He didn't stay silent for too long, and said in a relaxed tone: "I think before I tell my story, I'd better take out the photo album, otherwise I really don't know what to start with." He got up and left , went upstairs very smoothly, and then came down quickly, holding a very thick photo album in his hand.

Of course I have no objection.

After searching for a while, Ivli found a photo, which was a seven-inch photo.The two people above are Yves and a tall woman with curly brown hair and deep eye sockets, tall and plump.Both of them are fully photogenic, and she is wearing flat shoes that even reached Evelyn's cheekbones...Mom, I'm so short...

"Britney Abbott, my ex-girlfriend." Evelyn said calmly, looking at the photo without much emotion, "I met her at Yale University. college, and she was at the art college, that was nine years ago, in a seminar, she immediately refuted my point after I spoke, very sharp words, clear thinking. Then I heard friends talking about her, when I When I found out she was an art student, I couldn't believe it."

I suddenly want to laugh.

"Then I tried to get to know her and we quickly became friends, which was amazing because I spent my secondary school years at Eton, which was a boys' school, and I almost forgot the joy of being with girls. ...and then, of course, I fell in love with her, and she told me she loved me too...and then things went smoothly. Then we graduated, and she stayed on for her masters, and I went back to the UK to work, with a good salary, Even though I often fly to America to see her, I still can't bear to live without her."

Evelee's speech speed was a little faster, and I nodded from time to time to show that I was listening.But the feeling of self-deprecating laughter deepened.

"So, two years later, I came back to the United States, and I worked for a company in New Jersey, and then I started my own business, and I came to Pasadena. And just a little while ago, a month ago, to be exact, Brad Lanny's attitude towards me became bad, I don't even know why, I was very distressed during that time. A week ago, she finally broke up with me because she fell in love with another person... and then me, and then I……"

Ifli's eyes were tightly closed, as if trying to escape some painful feeling.He opened his eyes and his lips were trembling slightly, "Then I offended you rudely, I can't describe how I felt that day. I learned that Britney fell in love with a very rich man, I was very painful, but it made me regret The thing is that I made you feel pain too... I can hardly remember the details of that night. You can't imagine how I feel these two days. I am afraid to touch you, but I know I must ask for your forgiveness . . . what a bastard I am!"

His voice trembled with excitement.

I don't want to make him suffer any more for this matter.

I held his clenched hand tightly, "I forgive you, I know you are just uncontrollable, I can understand you!!!"

I can understand him!

Shouldn't he be forgiven for feeling remorse and pain?

Ifli buried his face in his hands, "Thank you, Kado."

I returned the photo in my hand to him, and finally encouraged: "Evely Blake, you can come out."

Just like the night after dusk in that painting, after night comes dawn.

I shook his hand solemnly, and he pursed his lips, his hands trembling uncontrollably.I said, "I'll walk back by myself, it doesn't matter, if you are free next weekend, welcome to my house to eat hot pot - it is a traditional Chinese food."

He still got up to get the car keys, I shook my head firmly, changed my shoes, waved, and went out.

The cold wind hits my cheeks.

Tears welled up in my eyes in an instant.

I used to be overwhelmed and admired Blake, but I never thought he was so good.But even such an excellent person still has a lot of sadness.

I think everyone has different sad places. I can't see it too one-sidedly, so that I am only influenced by my own thoughts, and I don't explore the inner world of others.

Ifli was a wake-up call for me.

----------

I looked at the Christmas tree not far away and showed a big smile. This matter is over, and what I have to face is a new test.

I will no longer adore him!

What I pursue is a happy life and a peaceful heart, not a person who has a gap between me and him in terms of academic qualifications or personality.

Eton, Yale... He's really good, but not what I expected him to be.

And me?

——I'm just a cartoonist.

But I will not feel inferior!This is my own choice and I am proud of it!

The author has something to say: New State: New Jersey

This chapter is fat!Look at my cramped claws~~~rolling and begging for caress~~~~

The emotional line with Sheldon will gradually become prominent...

I don’t know if it will be thunder when I write the emotional line. Although I have some thoughts in my heart, I don’t know if expressing it will cause Sheldon to collapse. If you have any questions, please tell me immediately so that I can reverse the problem immediately.

Tell me briefly about Blake

Actually, I was laying the thread in front of him, defining him as a well-educated gentleman who is passionate about certain things, such as work, and the legendary ex-girlfriend.

His reversal in the previous point probably scared many children's shoes.

But it was a part of him, and if it seemed too abrupt, I didn't handle it well.

I will consider and improve these issues below.

Finally, is Ni Meng really ready for the arrival of the emotional line~~~~~~ High energy!No cruelty!Brain hole! ~
