dinner. On both sides of the table, men and women sat.
"I like you." The woman said lightly while fiddling with the wine glass in her hand.
"I have a wife." The man touched the ring on his hand.
"I don't care, I just want to know how you feel. Do you like me?"
The man raised his head and looked at the woman opposite.
24 years old, young, energetic, quite a good age.
Fair skin, energetic body, a pair of bright, talking eyes.
What a nice girl, what a pity.
"If you like me too, I don't mind being your lover." The woman finally couldn't wait any longer and added.
"I love my wife." The man replied firmly.
"Do you love her? What do you love her for? She must be old and shabby now. Otherwise, why would you never bring her to the company's dinner party..."
The woman wanted to continue, but after encountering the man's cold gaze, she gave up the idea.
Jing...
"What do you like about me?" the man spoke.
"Mature, steady, very manly in your movements, you know how to care about people, many, many more. Anyway, you are different from the people I have met before. You are very special."
"Do you know what I looked like three years ago?" The man lit a cigarette.
"I don't know. I don't care, even if you have been to jail."
"Three years ago, I was one of those ordinary men you see now." The man ignored the woman and continued.
"Graduate from an ordinary university, work is not going well. He drinks all day long and loses his temper. He ignores girls. He was also arrested by the police for going to a nightclub to find a girl."
"Then what..." The woman became interested and wanted to know what made the man change.
"Because of her?"
"Hmm."
"She always seems to be able to see the inner side of things. She taught me a lot of things, and told me not to worry too much about gains and losses, not to care too much about the things in front of me, and to be kind to others. In front of her at that time, I was like a child with no trouble. It was really strange at that time. I had a stubborn temper, but I listened to her the most. According to what she said, accept the reality. I knew that I was useless, so I worked hard. At the end of that year, there was a slight improvement in work, and we got married."
The man flicked the ashes from his cigarette and continued talking.
"Things were really hard at that time. There were two people, one bed, and very little furniture at home. Do you know? A year after we got married, I bought her her first diamond ring, and I saved the money for more than half a year. Of course, I saved it behind her back. If she knew about it, she would definitely not let it go."
"At that time, I was in poor health because of smoking and drinking.
