Chapter 24
**
To be honest, people who knew Brother 6 before must have thought that he was very different from now.
How should I put it? As you may have discovered in the previous junior high school chapter, as a standard Aquarius (it makes sense that boys of this sign are criticized so much, they are relatively cold, have changeable ideas, and are prone to cheating on girls), overall, I think he is a very cold person. Specifically, he is introverted and doesn't like to talk; secondly, he is not good at expressing himself at all, he will get shy after saying a few words or simply stop talking; thirdly, he doesn't like to pay attention to others, and doesn't like to keep in touch and close relationships with people; finally, his ideas are very changeable, difficult to capture, and change for no reason.
To sum up, he and Tang Seng were completely opposite types of boys before. He was not a warm guy at all. No matter how handsome he was, he was the type that girls would stay away from and would not approach him.
Anyway, I don't feel like he's suitable to be a boyfriend, let alone a husband.
In the words of his younger brother Fatty, "If anyone wants to discuss something with my brother, they either get no response or get a cold shoulder [I don't know]. Anyway, if you ask him for help, you're basically out of luck." Hahahaha
However, after he got together with me, he really underwent a tremendous change under my guidance. Not only did my friends feel dumbfounded, but even my dad pulled me aside and whispered to me: How come 66 has become so active now?
He is still very aloof and basically doesn't like to talk to people he doesn't know well, but towards me, it's like he has completely switched personalities.
The two of us would go crazy together at home. I am the kind of person who particularly likes performing and I can be in the mood for acting at any moment.
I would start dancing and singing at home in a matter of minutes, and Brother 6 would join me and sing even louder than me.
While I was working out on a yoga mat, he would suddenly start making faces on another yoga mat and imitate my workout.
He would often carry me on his back and walk around the house, shouting: Zhu Bajie is carrying his wife!
For example, if I want to do something but Brother 6 doesn’t allow it, I will immediately open my mouth and start pretending to cry loudly, even though there won’t be a single tear: My husband doesn’t love me anymore, it’s snowing in March, it’s so unfair to Dou E... He doesn’t fulfill my wish babblalaal.
Brother 6 would feel helpless: Brother, it’s snowing in June.
Me: Dou E is wronged
Brother 6: Okay, okay, I’ll listen to you. Okay, okay.
Then I would laugh in a second.
He put his hands on his hips and said: You little baby, you are framing me again
In the past, if we were unhappy, he wouldn't argue with me, but would sulk in a corner. Now, if I'm unhappy, he'll immediately run over from his computer, hug me and cuddle with me: "Baby! I love you so much! Go ahead and hit me or scold me!"
Me: I won’t.
Brother 6: Please, come and play 66. Isn’t 66 the most fun?
Then I would burst out laughing.
Anyway, he just learned all my rogue behavior and used it to deal with me.
I remember that not long after we met again and started dating, I organized a game of Werewolf and invited Xiao Qishui, Princess Iron Fan, Tang Seng, and my other girlfriends to play together. Brother 6 was also there. After the game, everyone's general evaluation of Brother 6 was: very quiet, not very talkative, rarely spoke, and seemed very introverted.
But later, when I took Brother 6 to play with his friends again after a while, I told them in advance: Brother 6 might be a little introverted and doesn't talk much.
After we finished playing, my bestie Wang Pang asked: Are you sure he’s introverted? Isn’t he very active?
My childhood friend Afan: Your husband is very easy-going and good at taking care of people, he’s really nice!
My best friend Didi: Brother 66 is very funny.
Brother Shui, who played the Republic of China script-killing game together: 66 is too funny, right? A head peeked out from the door and asked me three times in a low voice, "Are you a Communist?"
I am very happy to see his transformation, especially when I see that he gets along well with my best friends and childhood friends, and that everyone likes him, I feel very relieved. Many people say that if your husband is recognized and liked by his friends, it is actually an affirmation and support of your relationship.
When I got home, I said to Brother 6: I am very happy that you had a good time with everyone.
Brother 6: We are giving you face. Your husband can’t embarrass you, right?
Me: You really talk a lot more than before!
Brother 6: Your friends are all very nice, and I like playing with them too.
Me: You are also very thoughtful and take care of them during meals.
Brother 6: That’s what I should do. Your friends are my friends.
I'm truly grateful for the changes he's made for me, and I'm also really happy that he feels so relaxed and at ease when he's with me. He often says to me, "Honey, deep down I'm actually quite funny, have you noticed? You've brought out my comedic side."
I should say that my funny and goofy self and his silly and stupid self are a perfect match, right? Hahaha?
Last night, we were chatting, and thinking about the recent wedding preparations, I shared my thoughts with him. I said, "I think the art of speaking is very important. For example, with some things, the way and frequency of communication, as well as the attitude and atmosphere during communication, may determine how the matter will be handled and the mood of the group affected. So you need to learn to express yourself more directly. You can express yourself directly to me, but you are still less good at expressing yourself to others."
Brother 6 rubbed his eyes and said to me aggrievedly, "Give me a chance and time, and teach me slowly. I will definitely work hard to learn and become a master as soon as possible. You know, I knew nothing about communication before I met you."
I originally wanted to scold him, but after thinking about it, I realized that what this guy said was indeed right. The changes he made for me were things he had never made in his life. Whether it was the way he got along with the elders, his friends, or me, he really did change slowly after being with me.
On every important holiday, Brother Liu would write me a letter, even if he wrote it alone on the sofa at home and handed it to me immediately after finishing it. This made me feel that this was a very important ritual. I kept every letter carefully. Looking back, from the message when we first fell in love, "I hope you will always be with me", to the change of our identities, "I will be with you at the closest place every year", I really feel very emotional and moved.
Brother 6 thinks twice before he acts. I can be impulsive and irritable at times, but he thinks things through calmly. He always says to me, "Don't be impatient. It's okay. Think about it first."
For example, he is much better than me in some calculation and science problems. I admire him very much in this aspect, because I think I am really stupid in this aspect, but he can solve it in no time. Also, as a girl, my hands-on ability is really poor, but he can assemble a bunch of parts in minutes and understand how to operate it after looking at the drawings. As for finding the way when walking on the road, I am completely dependent on him.
Brother 6 and I have learned a lot from each other and complement each other's strengths and weaknesses. Our personalities are completely complementary. When I get home from work, I feel relieved and secure when I see him. I talk a lot. Every day when I get home, I will take out my little notebook and tell him about the big and small interesting things that happened that day. Then he will sit in front of me and listen carefully and give me comments. If he has a breakthrough in his research, he will share it with me excitedly, and I will also try to understand what he is interested in and help him. He said that without my support, he would not be able to accomplish what he wants to do. Similarly, my seriousness, persistence and love for writing are inseparable from his support and care for me.
I think a good relationship is one in which both parties undergo positive changes, gain their own growth, learn from each other's strengths, are not afraid to point out each other's weaknesses, and become better together.
The world is so big, we can only explore it all if we explore together.
Little Easter egg (posted on Weibo):
One night we were discussing work.
Brother 6 is a typical Aquarius, and his attitudes towards things he likes and dislikes are really very different. He said: I am 200% motivated to do the things I like, but I am probably so disgusted with the things I don’t like that I don’t even want to look at them.
I asked him: What about me?
He looked into my eyes and said very seriously: You are 300%, far beyond the existence of liking.
