Celebrity House [Anna]

"Alexey Alexandrovich, I'm a woman myself, so even though I'm just a woman who stays with children and works hard all day, I still know a little better than you men." Tao Li said in a self-deprecating way The tone said.

She looked at Karenin, her eyes were as gentle as a mother's.

"I am so grateful to you, and Anna, you are all equally good. You should love a woman like her, not only out of duty, but as a unique woman. Don't forget, maybe Mrs. Karenin has many But among the tens of thousands of people in this world, she is unique."

On the way from the study to the bedroom, although Karenin didn't show anything on his face, he was indeed a little surprised.

He began to reflect, after all, what Tao Li said to him was really something he had never encountered before.

Some things from the past flashed through Karenin's mind, and he suddenly understood something, which not only caused a wave of waves in his heart, but also a kind of fear.

So, a long time ago, the happy and peaceful life he thought he had was actually just because he never had a deep understanding of his wife?

Karenin hesitated at the door. He habitually wanted to wrench his fingers, but realized that Anna didn't like it, so he held back, but it didn't prevent him from clasping his hands and rubbing his hands to relieve his tension. mood.

He couldn't think.

This fact made Karenin frowned, and after some hesitation, he unlocked the bedroom door.

Seryozha was still awake, whispering something in Anna's ear, giggling from time to time, and his wife, Anna, was obviously not quite into the kid's little jokes. , but there is no cold rejection.

"Father, have you asked Aunt Tao Li for books?"

Seryozha's question omitted Karenin's opening remarks.

"Yes." He said succinctly.

Seryozha's eyes lit up with a hint of curiosity.He basically never heard his father tell a bedtime story, and he never knew that he could ask his father for this.

Anna looked at Karenin, who was walking towards them.

Seryozha didn't sleep in the middle, he still preferred to be by his mother's side, but this didn't prevent him from looking at Karenin with a urging expression, and said that he was eager to hear the story now.

"What kind of story is it? Father," Seryozha asked.

Karenin glanced at the title and introduction of the book, and said, "A story of a dog and a cat." After he finished speaking, he frowned, somewhat puzzled, why two different kinds of animals became a book protagonist.

"That sounds interesting!" Seryozha said excitedly.

"Interesting?" Karenin frowned slightly.

"Yeah, Father, don't you think? That's a cat and a dog!"

Why are a cat and a dog funny?Karenin did not understand, but this did not prevent him from correcting some of Seryozha's grammatical mistakes.

"On a more formal level, you should use a cat and a dog, not like a three-year-old who likes to call cats and dogs because of his immaturity."

Seryozha was not shocked by Karenin's preaching.

"But cats and dogs are cuter!" Seryosha nodded after finishing speaking, "Super cute!"

That sounded familiar, Karenin thought, and soon realized.

"Seryosha, I have to tell you that although Srudin is a smart man, I don't recommend you to follow many of his words and deeds."

Seryozha covered his mouth somewhat dully.

Anna looked at the big and small ones and seemed to have deviated from the theme, so she said: "Before Seryozha's bedtime, can we listen to the story?"

"Yes, father!" Seryozha boldly looked at Karenin with a bit of blame, as if complaining that he shouldn't always change the subject and be so serious about unimportant things that he almost missed it. It was the first time I heard my father tell a story.

Karenin knew exactly what his son was thinking.

He thinks that Seryozha's ideas are completely wrong. He always has his own logic in what he says and does. Seryozha sometimes has no logic and likes to go astray. It is clear that he may be more like his mother.

When Karenin looked at Seryozha, Anna also looked at him, and also understood how to shirk responsibility under that subtle expression.

"Many cases from ancient times to the present have proved that boys like to imitate their fathers." The implication is, don't blame it on me.

"But the division of labor in the family means that children are more often nurtured and spoiled by mothers." Karenin pointed out.

Anna narrowed her eyes slightly, and raised her voice: "If there is only dogma and reason in a family, will children grow up happily?"

Karenin didn't speak anymore, and he was blaming himself in his heart. This was obviously not something to argue about, but he later realized that maybe his brain wanted to have more things to fill them, lest he seriously consider that question.

"Is it necessary to tell stories now?" asked Karenin.

"That sounds like you're trying to get away with something else," Ana said.

Karenin thought to himself: "I am, but not to avoid it."

In any case, they decided to finish reading the story for now.

After washing up, Karenin lay outside under the quilt in his nightgown. He propped up the pillows to keep his back and spine from getting sick, and he wore a pair of thin-rimmed glasses.

"You don't wear glasses much." Anna was a little curious.

"Sometimes it is necessary." Karenin said, then spread out the book, and began to describe the contents of the book in a flat voice.

A gentle and stubborn cat, in order to protect the bookstore left by its owner, after rescuing a stray dog, they fought off thieves and bad guys who peeped at the bookstore together, and finally lived happily together.

"The cat still doesn't like the big dog to lick its fur, and repels the big dog invading its private domain, but whether it is another year, two years or ten years, they are still each other's best companions."

After Karenin finished reading the story, he didn't immediately look at the expressions of Anna and Sergei, because he himself was already immersed in the story, but not because he was moved, but because the book was so illogical ah!

Leaving aside this interracial love, let’s just talk about why a beaune, who is as calm and rational as a military dog, falls in love with a somewhat selfish and mean cat?This is really unbelievable.

"Seeing how shocked you are, I don't think we need to exchange ideas." Anna's voice brought Karenin back to reality.

"This is indeed a challenge to my thinking." Karenin said with some difficulty, and then he noticed that Seryozha had already fallen asleep breathing evenly.

"When did Seryozha fall asleep?"

Anna glanced at him and said, "Before you turned the page."

Karenin felt choked, and he looked at his son with a complicated look. The latter was sleeping soundly and softly, like a little angel.

"I'm full..." Seryozha muttered something in his sleep, and then laughed again, chattering for a long time before he quieted down.

Anna looked at Karenin, who frowned, seemingly lost in thought.

Anna analyzed what major issues Karenin was thinking about, and the latter suddenly said, "Is he sick because he talks like this in his sleep?"

"...I think that just means he's growing taller," Anna replied.

Karenin was still a little worried.

"Don't worry, Alexei. Seryozha is not the first child to sleep and talk in his sleep."

"I realized that for Seryozha, as a father, I really didn't care enough for him."

Anna looked at Karenin with surprised eyes.

Karenin paused for a moment, stroking the skin of his left hand with the thumb of his right hand.

"And I also realize that maybe I don't care enough for you, Anna."

Anna was completely stunned at this moment.

Karenin looked at his wife and said: "I have said many times that I love you because you are my wife, but I didn't realize that maybe that's not what you want to hear. Before that, Anna, I have to tell you that I never thought my wife could be someone else. After marrying you, it never occurred to me that any other woman might be more suitable for me. That would be disgraceful, on you, on me , disrespect for our marital relationship."

"I don't care..." Anna wanted to let this go, as usual, with some gentle words and a smile, but Karenin stopped her.

"You care, don't lie to me. I just don't want to use the official tricks at home, but it doesn't mean I don't have observation skills."

Anna restrained her smile, then looked at Karenin, and finally said: "Did Taoli say something to you?"

"Dalia Alexandrovna did remind me," Karenin said honestly, as he always did when he was with his family.

Anna smiled and asked: "You are always so open-minded and teachable, so good, I really care."

"If you don't want to smile, don't smile, Anna. I don't just accept your smile." Karenin said, he closed the book, still covering it with his fingers, and turned his head to look at his wife.

"I thought I was your husband, not someone you had to deal with." Karenin said in a deep voice. Through the glasses, Anna could clearly see the other person's eyes, which were blue and somewhat deep.
