There is clearly a lifelong negative example.
The warmth and joy in his heart paid no attention to his reason and experience, and it kept pouring out, irresistible.
Tears are too salty, smiles are too sweet.
Oscar felt that he had underestimated human nature.
He was both angry and smiled bitterly.
stupid.
He asked himself: Oscar, do you have any other ideas? The phone rang.
Su Xiaoli turned off the hair dryer immediately and answered the phone.
Lu Sinian and Oscar felt that they had not yet finished their meal.
The person on the other end of the phone was Gu Feihan.
"Yes, it's me. Well... so that's it... well... okay, then don't work too hard. ... Bye." Su Xiaoli put down the phone silently.
Lu Sinian and Oscar both breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Su Xiaoli said nothing more and quietly returned the hair dryer to Lu Sinian.
After a while, Oscar tentatively asked, "You have an appointment to meet my father at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. Can I go with you?"
Su Xiaoli was a little surprised. Was it so fast? But that was fine.
She showed no sign of being disturbed by the phone call and nodded calmly.
Oscar was relieved.
Su Xiaoli seemed unable to continue reading tonight, so she went to bed early.
The dinner was salty and she felt thirsty in the middle of the night, so she went downstairs to the kitchen to get some water.
Just as I reached the stairs to the second floor, there was no light downstairs, but I found that there seemed to be someone sitting on the sofa.
It seems to be...Gu Feihan.
Su Xiaoli quickly went downstairs and walked to his side.
In the dim light, a smell that did not belong to him came over him, the smell of alcohol and perfume.
"Are you back?" She wrinkled her nose and asked softly.
Gu Feihan looked up, recognized his own girl, and his face immediately brightened.
He reached out and pulled her onto his lap, wrapping his arms around her and resting his drunken head on her shoulder.
"Sorry I'm late. Happy birthday."
"Yeah." Su Xiaoli nodded slightly.
"I've been thinking about you all day." Gu Feihan murmured.
"Hmm." Su Xiaoli endured the smell that did not belong to him.
Gu Feihan wanted to kiss her.
Gently dodged.
"Give it to me." Gu Feihan still had the capital to cheat.
But the usual tricks don't work today.
Su Xiaoli shook her head to refuse, but still gently touched his forehead.
Gu Feihan was naturally not satisfied and wanted to use force.
Su Xiaoli put her hands on his head and said, "Go take a shower and go to bed."
Today was a great day and she was one year older, so she didn't want to argue with him.
Fortunately, Gu Feihan did not do anything else and just gave a bitter smile out of exhaustion.
"Thirsty." The man still wanted to get some benefits from her.
Su Xiaoli quickly got up from his legs and escaped from the unfamiliar smell.
When she came out with a large cup of warm water, Gu Feihan had already fallen asleep on the sofa. He was really tired after a long day.
After all the effort, the soul and the body have long been separated.
Su Xiaoli let out a long sigh and finally stopped making trouble.
She felt a little dejected and somewhat disappointed. She had finally waited for him to come back, but it turned out that all he did was sleep.
Su Xiaoli took a thick quilt to cover him and returned to the room.
Being self-consistent was quite difficult tonight.
She had trouble sleeping.
I simply turned on the desk lamp, picked up the book "The French Lieutenant's Woman", took out the poker bookmark, and continued reading.
For the sake of freedom, Sarah, the woman in the book, willingly and even voluntarily bore the stigma of "the French lieutenant's woman (implying that she is promiscuous and akin to a prostitute)".
Fighting against the world alone, seeking the freedom of solitude in the constant self-nihilism.
Even at the end, Sarah knew that marriage is a bond between a man and a woman, but it can also become a shackle that restricts a woman's pursuit of independence and freedom.
However, the novel has three different open endings.
Either way, it's hard to accept.
It is difficult to evaluate the things that the heroine Sarah did for freedom.
The more Su Xiaoli read, the harder it was to fall asleep. By the time she finished a book, the sky outside the window had turned pale.
Just get up.
I didn’t sleep in the middle of the night, but I wasn’t tired.
There was something important to do today, so she packed up and put on a formal suit.
When she went downstairs, Gu Feihan had disappeared from the sofa. Su Xiaoli sighed lightly.
At a quarter to nine, Oscar brought Su Xiaoli to the castle where his father Henry lived.
The style of the castle... filled with Winnie the Pooh and his friends.
"Mr. Groner is a person full of...childlike innocence?" Su Xiaoli couldn't believe what she saw.
The contrast between the towering castle and the tender yellow Winnie the Pooh is too obvious.
"No, it's my sister who likes it, so my father..." Oscar was silent for at least five seconds, and seemed to be hesitant in his answer.
It turns out that there are daughter slaves all over the world.
Su Xiaoli didn't think much about it.
Oscar took Su Xiaoli straight to the study.
The butlers and others who passed by silently signaled to the two of them, but when they saw Oscar, they were not overly enthusiastic.
Before Mr. Groner arrived at the study, Su Xiaoli caught a glimpse of the bookshelf in the corner of the study.
The height of the bookshelf is just right for women, and it is filled with illustrated fairy tales of Winnie the Pooh and the little dolls from the Winnie world.
Su Xiaoli couldn't help but walk to the bookshelf to observe, Oscar accompanied her, "These are all first editions, he personally went to the second-hand bookstore to order them."
Su Xiaoli nodded.
I spoil my daughter to death.
She took one and began to read.
The original illustrations are all monochrome sketches. Although there is no color, the brushstrokes are very charming, full of vitality and infinite innocence.
"Winnie ate too much and got stuck in the rabbit hole..."
Huh? It turns out that Winnie the Pooh, who I have heard of for a long time, is also a silly little foodie.
It seems that I am not much better than Winnie.
Su Xiaoli smiled knowingly and was so absorbed in reading that she didn't notice the eyes behind her, and behind her, there was also a pair of eyes looking at them.
The pair of eyes in the distance couldn't help but sigh secretly -
Oscar had no idea that the way he looked at that girl now was exactly like the way he looked at his mother Saoirse.
At the beginning, I didn't even expect the other party to respond to me, but the closer it got to the end, the more...
Henry couldn't help but sigh softly.
"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, ma'am." A magnetic voice finally sounded behind the two of them.
The voice is somewhat similar to Oscar.
Su Xiaoli turned around.
From a distance, he looked as young as Oscar's brother, at least ten years younger than Su Xiaoli had imagined.
The well-tailored dark suit makes him look tall, handsome, mature, elegant, and with a sharp gaze.
Doctor Su's eyes are a little straight, and his occupational disease flares up from time to time. It's simply enough.
Most of the brothers' good genes probably come from this person.
It is hard to imagine that such a person would abandon his wife and children. Or perhaps, it is a different version of the story from a different perspective? Su Xiaoli smiled at him naturally, "Hello, Mr. Groner, we just arrived too."
Oscar, the biological son, felt a little uncomfortable.
"Just call me Henry. Do you mind if I call you 'Li'?" (End of this chapter)
