forget me wedding

Chapter 3

Walking on the street, the wind invaded my body relentlessly, my face burned badly, and I knew that I was angry.

I'm mad at those two people.

I will not give up my persistence so easily!
Home was getting closer and closer. Suddenly, I felt movement behind me. It seemed that someone was walking very close to me. I could even feel that person panting slightly.

Turning around suddenly, my nose hit a wall of flesh, the pain caused me to quickly cover my nose, and tears flowed out immediately.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know you would turn around suddenly." The other party apologized to me in a panic, and touched my nose with his hand.

"Don't touch me!" I patted his outstretched hand away.

He smiled helplessly, putting his hands in his pockets.

I glanced at this man with "vicious" eyes, and found that he actually looks good, especially the two small mustaches on his face are very beautiful.His face has been fixed in my mind for a long time, but I can't find a suitable name for him. I don't think I know him, do I?But there seems to be a sense of familiarity with him, who is he?

Seeing my hesitant gaze, he immediately took out a beautiful business card holder from his pocket, took out a business card and handed it to me with both hands. "My name is Lin, please give me your advice."

I didn't take his card, I just glanced at it - which I knew was rude.He is a doctor.

I hate doctors.

He smiled again, and pushed the card forward again.

My eyes began to turn cold, even though he has a nice little mustache, even though he is very tasteful in clothes, even though his smile looks reassuring - but I still don't have much affection for him, I Don't even want to have anything to do with him.

He didn't give up because of this, on the contrary, he grabbed my hand boldly and wanted to put the business card in my hand.

I dodged vigilantly, and pulled his hand behind him with a beautiful grab, and he yelled in pain: "Don't, don't do this, I don't mean anything malicious, button, trust me!"

He knows my name?He knows me?I pushed him away abruptly, and he staggered a step forward, then stopped, straightened his clothes, turned around and smiled at me again.

"Who are you?" I asked coldly.

"I'm Lin!" Pointing to the name on his business card, he added: "ALING is my English name, if you like, you can call me ALING."

"you know me?"

"It's more than just acquaintance! I'm very happy to see you again. You know, I just waited at the door of Jue'er's house for almost an hour. God, I'm so cold!" This action adds to the atmosphere.

His words undoubtedly attracted me, what is "see you again"?Did I know him well before?Why did he wait for me at the door of Jue'er's house?Who is he?
"Can I buy you a cup of coffee?" he asked me.

I looked at him and shook my head slightly.

"But I have something to discuss with you, about Jue'er, Yu Feng, you and me." He raised his eyebrows as he spoke.

I looked at him carefully again, and I really didn't have any impression of him.Who is he?what purpose?At this time, I am like a cat who is very curious but afraid of danger - I want to know the answer but I am afraid that there is a trap ahead.

Knowing that he had my attention, he immediately went on to say, "Of course, the unborn child is also what I want to talk to you about."

My interest was thoroughly aroused, and looking at him, I seemed to be looking into a mysterious, all-encompassing crystal ball.

"Ah! Go forward about 200 meters, there is a great coffee shop, the coffee there is first-class, how about going to have a drink?" He stretched out his elbow to me very gentlemanly.

I passed my hand quietly and let him go.

I'm really, really curious about him.

The coffee shop is very beautiful, especially the waiters, all of them are handsome men and beautiful women, tall and tall, with extraordinary bearing - I didn't know that there would be such a treasure in the town that surprised me, Will didn't say.

The man named "Lin" took me into a box. What surprised me even more was that the lights here were as bright as day. At first I thought the lights would be dim and yellow, but unexpectedly, they were so bright that I could see Lin clearly. facial features.

His nose is beautiful and his mustache is even more charming.

"Sit! Will the light be too bright? I don't like too dark, that kind of dim light makes people think about it, so I asked my guys to help me change the light." He paused and said: "Forgot Let me tell you, the owner of this coffee shop is my sister, and I am a partner. This box is exclusive to me, don't worry, no one will disturb us."

I looked at the layout of the room quietly, and I thought this man was very ambitious, because I found that roses were planted on the four corners of the room, and they were allowed to climb up to the ceiling without decoration; A decorative painting of Van Gogh's "Starry Night" is hung on the wall but is tightly entangled by arrogant roses. It feels like a heart is being bound, which makes people feel a little breathless.

There is not much decoration in the room, and there is a European-style retro dressing table in the corner of the side wall. This dressing table does not match this room, because the owner of this room is a man, so I think this The dressing table should have a lot of history; Lin and I are sitting on dark brown chaise longue chairs, which can be seen to be expensive, because the patterns on the fabric are exquisite traditional hand embroidery, and the wood of the armrests is the best Mahogany, feels good.Just when I was about to lower my head to carefully study whether the carpet under my feet was purely handmade, I heard Lin's voice: "How is my room? Do you like it?"

"It's beautiful, did you design it?" I responded to him.

He nodded.

"I like roses," he said, "roses are very vigorous, just like me. These roses are not ordinary roses, they are wild roses, domineering and arrogant elves. I like their thorns the most. Fascinating. See that Van Gogh's "Starry Night"? It's a decorative painting, I can't afford the original... huh!" He laughed to himself. "Have you noticed? Although the color of this decorative painting is more gorgeous than the original one, it is not necessarily more beautiful. I like Van Gogh's works, especially this "Starry Night". I think it matches my rose very well. It is also crazy the art of."

He lit a cigarette and asked, "Do you want it?"

I shook my head.

"Why put a dresser there?" I asked.

He smiled, stood up, went to the dresser and said, "I bought it at an auction, it had a beautiful story, it didn't end very well, but I liked it - everything in fact Tragic story, so I bought it to dress my roses."

"It's expensive, isn't it?"

"Fortunately, I asked for two and a half years' salary."

He gently moved his fingers over the dressing table, staring at it, as if he was watching his beloved woman. Could it be that he really regarded the dressing table as a living object and treated it with a mentality beyond ordinary people?

At this point, a waiter brought two cups of coffee, and Lin tipped him off.

"You are very good to your employees!" I leaned back in my chair and said with a smile.

"I never consider myself the boss, I'm a guest, a guest who comes every day." He picked up the cup, thought for a while, and asked, "How do you drink coffee? With sugar or brandy?"

I nodded lightly, "Sugar."

He put a piece of sugar in my glass and didn't add it himself.

Then, we sat opposite each other like this, drinking coffee without talking, as if we were competing to see who had better patience.

Finally, I spoke: "If you have anything to say, just say it!"

He gripped the glass tightly and said without embellishment: "You came back to take revenge on them, didn't you?"

I looked at him with interest and asked, "How come?"

I found his eyes to be beautiful, deep and bright, with a shrewd quality to them.At this moment, when he heard my words, there was a spark in his eyes, and he asked nervously and slightly angrily: "Didn't you come back to take revenge on them?"

I sneered and didn't answer him.

"You don't know that I've been waiting for you for nine years! Now that you're back, join me in my revenge?" The man blushed with excitement.

"Why me?" I asked him quietly.

"Why not you?" He became excited, and his tone became a little urgent: "You have enough reasons to hate them, and you have enough reasons to accept my invitation!"

"Oh?" I raised my eyebrows and looked at him, "Tell me a reason!"

He fell silent, leaned back in the chair, sighed and asked, "Do you really not remember me?"

I didn't answer him, I really don't know who he is.

"We met once, just before you left." He said and took a drag on his cigarette.

I tried my best to flip through the memory, but found nothing.

He decisively extinguished the cigarette butt, sighed and said: "Nine years ago, we met once at Jue'er's house - a lot of people came to that party, your so-called sisters brought all their boyfriends Yes. Everyone is very happy, but there are two people who are not, one is you, the other is Yufeng. The happiest person is me, I even thought I was the luckiest, because the leading actor that night was me, Jue'er took my hand and announced to you that I——is her boyfriend."

It was like a thunderbolt exploded in my mind. I was so surprised that I stood up involuntarily, "You, you... so it was you!"

It turned out to be him - Jue'er's victim.

"That's right, it's me." He stretched out his hand and made a "please" gesture, signaling me to sit down.

My eyes were fixed on him, and I couldn't believe that this man had hooked up with me.

"Sit!" he said with a smile.

I sat down slowly.

"Look at you, you're still so pretty. Where's Jue'er? She's old, and she's worthless when she's old, but I still love her very much." The corners of his mouth drew a beautiful arc, and he looked at me, as if looking at me. an item.

I didn't answer his words.

He still said to himself: "I lived very happily during those days. I always thought I was a lucky one, because Jue'er, who I had been chasing for three years, finally turned back. I thought my sincerity had received the mercy of heaven and earth, I thought... Oh! She doesn't love me, not at all! I'm just a shield for her, I'm just a foil, you all know this, right?"

I have no idea!I shouted in my heart.

He smiled wryly, and seeing that I didn't answer his words, he said to himself: "I love her so much, and my love is not inferior to your love for Yu Feng."

I lowered my head, and something he said touched something in my heart.

When he looked up at him again, his eyes had already started to turn red, and he said with a wry smile: "Jue'er and I have been in love for four years, and she married me the summer she graduated from college, but—" His The tone of the voice suddenly rose, almost shouting: "She escaped from marriage! She left with Yu Feng at our wedding, escaped!"

I was intimidated by this man again.

He had already shed tears weakly, bit his lower lip, and seemed to want to press back the tears, "Two seemingly beautiful relationships, but there is endless pain hidden behind them. You saw it through and went away, but I? Staying by her side obsessively for nine years."

I watched him quietly and listened to him.

"On the wedding day, she was so beautiful, but she was not happy. Every smile of hers was a forced disguise. I swore to her that I would love her and cherish her, but her eyes looked out of the window in despair, I have been waiting from the beginning to the end. When we were receiving everyone’s blessings in front of God, Yufeng came and took her away, and took away my pride, happiness and hope! Everyone is applauding for them, Jue She treats our wedding as her last bet on Yu Feng, ignoring my feelings. What are my feelings? It's just rubbish to them!"

He covered his face with his hands and sobbed.

My heart also became sour.

I patted him on the shoulder, I tried to comfort him, but I couldn't find anything to say, so I handed him a Kleenex.

After crying for a long time, he let go of his hand, and a bitter smile hung on his tearful face. I have never seen a person who cried so depressedly.He took my Kleenex, wiped away the tears on his face, and continued: "Everyone says they are romantic, brave, and brave enough to break through all difficulties. What about me? I am the most ambiguous person who is suppressed by people in the conversation." In the words, in a word."

My heart is very heavy. In fact, I don't know Lin's story. In the past nine years, I have cut off almost all my friends.Now, I feel sorry for this man, because he has my shadow on him.

"Why didn't you stay? Why didn't you look at me in a mess? If you were there at that time, you would definitely comfort me. At least we could hug each other and cry. I bear this pain alone, alone..." He cried bitterly on my shoulder, like a wronged child.

Has his heart been broken into pieces?

Suddenly, he raised his head and asked me: "Are you still unwilling to join me?"

I smiled and nodded.

"why why!"

I do not know why either.

He sighed helplessly, and raked his hair with his hands, looking very troubled. "It's not true, it's not true, nine years! I've been waiting for nine years..."

I have also waited for nine years, but I don't want to take revenge on them with him. This hatred belongs to me alone, and I don't want to share it with others. There is no need for it.

"Nine years! It's not a small number, how can you not take revenge on them? Yu Feng's life is already in my hands, I just need to pinch him lightly, and he can die. Kou'er, as long as you say a word, we We can share this happiness together right away, okay?" His eyes were bloodshot with excitement, like a wolf that has been hungry for a long time seeing the food that has made his heart flutter for a long time.

I looked at him puzzled and asked, "You know some of Yu Feng's secrets, don't you?"

There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and my heart turned cold.

"Not some, but all, all!"

I mockingly gave him a look of disbelief.

"Don't believe me, it's true! I know all his secrets, don't you want to know? Join me! Okay?"

"I won't be with you." I told him frankly.

He laughed miserably a few times, and then laughed again, very sadly.

"What are you laughing at?" I asked coldly.

He stopped laughing, and his tone was a little sad: "I have a poor child, he is about to be born, but he may never see his father again after he is born, even if his father can survive until the day he is born, My poor boy can't live with his dad either."

"What do you mean?"

"What do you mean? As I said just now, Yu Feng's life is in my hands, and he will die as soon as I pinch him. Of course his child will not be able to see him, and the child will not be able to live with me."

"what are you talking about?"

"What did you say?" He stood up suddenly, with his back turned to me, his voice was so cold that I trembled a little: "Yu Feng's child is mine!"

"You are crazy!"

"I don't!" He turned around and shouted excitedly, "Why haven't Yufeng and Jue'er had children after being married for so many years? It's not that they don't want it, but that Yufeng has no fertility at all!"

"Impossible!" This time I was more excited than him, "I was pregnant with Yu Feng's child nine years ago!"

Lin quieted down, looked at me expressionlessly, then stared at the cup in front of him and said, "He's doing an experiment, and that experiment has high levels of radiation, and he doesn't know. I didn't tell him when I was doing the test." , that radiation can cause cancer. They went to the hospital for artificial insemination, and I was the attending doctor that time, and that lucky sperm was given by me.”

My hands and feet became cold, "Do you understand what you are talking about? How is this possible?"

"I'm just telling a fact, but it's a bit bizarre to you. The child is mine, and Jue'er should be mine too!" He finally yelled again, mercilessly at me.

My hands were so cold that I had to shake, holding the cup, only to find that the coffee had cooled.

In the end, we all calmed down.

"What experiment is he doing?" I asked softly.

"I do not know."

"Don't know?" I looked at him hesitantly.

He answered me with a firm gaze.

I don't believe he doesn't know, he just doesn't want to say it, it's impossible not to know.But his gaze was so firm that even my doubts were pierced by his gaze and shattered without leaving any room.

"How long does he have?" My tone was still light.

"No more than three years."

"Three years?" I screamed, the cup in my hand was placed heavily on the coffee table, and the cold coffee splashed out and spilled all over the floor.

He still answered me with a firm gaze.

I have to get out of here, out of this horrible man in front of me, out of his lair.

Just as I got to the door, Lin's voice came again: "Are you going to tell him? Are you going to save his life? You know he'll be fine if he stops that experiment and gets better, but— Button, he once hurt you like that, you won't save him..."

"Enough!" I interrupted him.

"You won't go!"

"Enough!" I raised my voice.

"No, you won't!" he yelled.

"Enough! Enough!" I was almost hysterical, and the last bit of sound from my originally hoarse throat was gone.

"Butcher!" Lin Chong stepped forward and hugged me, "Why are you so cruel? Why don't you want to take revenge on them? Wouldn't it be good to join me and be with me? Haven't you thought about it? You don't hate them Have you ever been hurt like that and they love you..."

I pushed him hard, opened the door, and fled in embarrassment.

The wind on the road was even colder, but my hands and feet were never as cold, and they were even numb, dragging my body to nowhere.

The small town, the small town where I have lived for more than 20 or [-] years, is so unfamiliar that I can't find my way home.

Don't know what happened to the people in the other corner.

This night, I have insomnia.In fact, for such a long time, unless I have Shiqi by my side, most of the nights I keep my eyes open for the world.

The starry sky is beautiful, and the winter wind is also very charming.

On this day, I met everyone in my life and learned a lot of things that I should have known.It would be fine if it was still the same as before, and I could try to sleep with resentment, but tonight I tortured myself repeatedly, what should I do, do I still hate?
Everyone is very pitiful. Life is inherently innocent, but the path you walk often makes you not pure, and you have sin.

The phone rang for a while, and I looked at my watch subconsciously. Under the starlight, my watch told me that it was already past two o'clock in the morning.Who is calling so late?

Picking up gently, the other party's world is very quiet.

"Hello?" I said first.

No one answered me, is it a prank?It turns out that some people are so boring and waste their phone bills on me.

I was also quiet, silent with the other party.

The starlight outside the window covered my small balcony.

Finally, the other party spoke, it was a very soft voice, as if it came from far away in the sky, "It's me, Jue'er."

It should be her, and only she would still want to prove her existence at this time.

"I couldn't sleep, and I kept thinking that maybe you weren't asleep either, so I called you—are you asleep?" she asked me softly.

"No."

She smiled, "The starlight tonight is beautiful, a bit like summer. Have you ever seen a sky as pure as a small town after you've been outside for so long? It must be rare? I'm on the balcony now, and Yufeng is sleeping very Shen, I didn't know that I had already left his embrace and sneaked to the balcony to enjoy the air."

Well what does that mean?

She smiled reassuringly again and said, "We haven't chatted for a long time, I really miss us in the past!"

I listened quietly.

"After you came back, did you find that everyone hasn't changed at all, and the air here is still very fresh? Kou'er, you look so much more beautiful..." Her voice gradually trailed off.

We started to get quiet.

I don't want to say anything to her, I don't think it's necessary, I feel that I'll lose as soon as I speak, it's uncompromising, unyielding.

The night in the wee hours of the morning is already very quiet, but we are even quieter now.I can hear her breathing very clearly, and I can also hear her steady heartbeat - can she also hear my heartbeat and breathing?

Suddenly, she opened her mouth to break our silence. Just one sentence aroused great anger in my heart. She asked me lightly: "Why do you want to come back?"

Have you finally spoken your truth?this woman!From the beginning to the end, I never thought about my feelings, but just blindly and selfishly showing my selfishness to the fullest, but no one saw it, only me!Only I didn't let her seemingly innocent appearance deceive me, only I was sober.She's driving me out of this place again and better never ever come back.

I didn't answer her question, she didn't ask any more, and at the same time, we hung up.

Walking to the balcony, the wind is a bit damp and cool.

Looking up at the sky, there are many stars in the sky. I counted them lightly, trying to find the star that belongs to me with my mortal eyes. When I counted down the last star, I fell asleep. In the warm sunshine of winter.

I'm a little tired, I really want to just fall asleep like this.

A rush of phone calls pounded my brain violently.correct!I'm going to pick up Shiqi's car today.

I got up and yawned, and trotted to answer the phone. It was indeed my Shiqi calling. He had already arrived at the station and couldn't see me, so he called.

After washing and grooming in a smooth manner, I grinned foolishly at the coat mirror, and I was about to pick up my most beloved man.

There is no warmth on the face when the wind blows, but I am not cold, because I will see my Shiqi soon, I must hug him tightly, and I must have a good cry.

Finally, the station arrived, and people saw it—thin.

Tears of happiness welled up in my eyes, I reached out to him, and he gently opened his embrace.I plunged into his arms and hugged him tightly, shaking my shoulders and crying happily.

He let me hug me, with a happy smile on his face, he patted my back gently with his hand, and said: "Okay, don't cry, there are many people watching!"

I ignored it and continued to cry, this embrace belongs to me, and this man also belongs to me.

"Okay, let's go back, I really want to sleep." He said again.

I reluctantly left his arms and helped him take a small bag of luggage to go home. He didn't have much luggage, so it seemed that he didn't plan to stay for a long time.

I can't live long either, the town is no longer my town.

On the way home, the man next to me was very wordy, and kept asking me questions: "Did you take your medicine on time? Did you go to the hospital for checkups?"

"Yes!" I simply answered him.

"Is your nose better? Is your nose still stuffy at night?"

"Much better, no stuffy nose."

"Did you still smoke and drink?"

"no!"

"Which hospital did you go for the examination? Is the hospital here famous? What is the degree of the doctor who examined you..."

bother!I pushed him and said coquettishly, "Say something else."

He immediately giggled, so cute!

Passing by a flower shop, he stopped and asked me, "Would you like a bouquet of flowers?"

"do not want!"

"Save me money?"

"Is it not good?"

"Really not?"

"A little shaken." I answered him mischievously.His eyes stopped on a purple "Forget-me-not", and he asked the florist: "How much is a branch?"

The florist answered me with a smile on her face: "15 yuan."

"It's so expensive, how much does it cost for a bowl of beef noodles?" I said while looking at Shiqi, waiting for his next move.

He glanced at me out of the corner of his eye, and then said to the florist: "Give me a bouquet of 'Lover's Kiss', and add a little more baby's breath."

The florist responded, and wrapped a bouquet of black roses, added a few white baby's breath, and handed it to Shiqi.

Shi Qi paid the money casually, put the flower into my hand, and asked me: "Do you know why the 'Lover's Kiss' is a black rose?
I shook my head.

"Because a lover's kiss is the sweetest, and the reason why the black rose is black is because it is too red. When it is extremely red, it becomes black. Do you understand?" laugh.

I licked my lips.

He leaned down and kissed me lightly on the lips.

The florist's laughter came from behind us, and I proudly took Shiqi's hand and left the flower shop.

I just don’t know why I turned my head to look at the purple “Forget-me-not” plant in the flower shop. It seems that a piece of memory from the past came vaguely on the waves.

A man once said to me that he would give me the most beautiful and unique "Forget-me-not" in the world, which is a noble black, a pride not to share with others, and he also said... Forget it, in the past After so long, he should have forgotten.

Shi Qi and I sat on my small balcony basking in the sun.

The winter sun shone warmly on us, and Shi Qi sat in the shade, refusing to step into the sun, like a bowl of chocolate ice cream, afraid that the sun would melt him.

In the end, he compromised and walked into the sunshine, sitting beside me.

"Why don't you live with your sisters? I thought I'd be able to see them when I got here," he said, looking around my room.

"My parents are gone, and my sisters are already someone else's. I'll take you to meet them when I have time." I sighed and stretched my waist.

He is quiet.

I pushed him lightly, broke the silence he was about to manage, and asked with a smile: "Will you cook me a meal today?"

He was still meditating quietly.That's how he is, and when he thinks about things, he won't let other things disturb him.I love the two dimples and the neat teeth when he smiles the most, but he doesn't smile often. He frowns for at least 24 and a half hours in 23 hours a day, even when he sleeps.

After waiting for him for too long, I was really hungry, so I pushed him and said coquettishly, "I'm hungry."

He was afraid that I would be hungry, so he immediately stood up from the chair, pulled his clothes and asked, "What do you want to eat?"

"You cooked the noodles." I pursed my lips mischievously.

"Fool!" He nodded my nose and said, "The food I cook is not so delicious, only you join me."

"certainly not!"

"We should go out to eat. Cooking things by ourselves is time-consuming and laborious. After eating, we have to use 'rock-paper-scissors' to decide who does the dishes. We have to learn to enjoy it."

"So you are so stingy, do you hold grudges every time you lose to me in boxing guessing? Let your mother know that we are so lazy, she will be angry. But you are right-learn to enjoy!" I raised my hand in response With that, he turned and went to the bedroom to get his clothes.

The luggage that Shi Qi brought lay on the floor of my room, it was very little, I turned my head and asked loudly: "Qi, do you want to put your luggage in the closet?"

Shi Qi came over, stood in front of me, and looked at me seriously. After a long time, he said, "Kou'er, I've thought about it for a long time."

"Thinking about what?"

"We." His tone was light.

"What happened to us?"

"Let's marry!"

I sucked in a sharp breath of air, and leaned against the door, unable to recover for a long time.The pounding of my heart made me feel a little tired.

He stepped forward, kissed me softly, pulled me into his warm arms, and repeated in his magnetic voice, "Let's get married!"

Tears welled up, and I cried bitterly.

I've been looking forward to, yes, I've been looking forward to the day when he takes my hand and walks in front of everyone—I'm wearing a white and beautiful wedding dress, holding a black forget-me-not; dress, hair combed oily; then he put on a promise ring for me, and I solemnly swore to him: "I am willing to..."

But I don't have the time in my life to exchange promises with him, I don't have the good fortune to be his wife, take care of his family and have children, I can't be an ordinary housewife, I don't have enough time.

He put his hand behind my back and patted me lightly.

"I'm sorry, I can't..." I choked up and pushed him away.

He hugged me tightly again, not letting me leave his arms.

"If I have ten years to live, I promise..." I also hugged him tightly, "But no, I don't have that much time, no..."

"Enough, enough!" There was a hint of crying in his voice. "One day is enough."

I was crying, out of breath, in a mess.

After crying enough, I pushed him away, turned my back and wept indiscriminately, and when I turned around again, there was already a forced smile on my face, "Let's go eat, I'm hungry."

"What did the doctor say before you came back?" He lowered his head, not daring to look directly at me.

I took a deep breath and answered him in the most relaxed tone: "The doctor said that if the situation is good, it can be delayed for a year."

He raised his head in disbelief and looked at me.

"What if it's not good?" His voice was pitifully small.

Tears fell again, my hands became cold, my lips trembled, my voice seemed to be muffled, muffled, I couldn't even hear clearly, it took me a long time before I made up my mind to utter two words: "Half a year. "

He also leaned against the door weakly, with his hands on his forehead, as if he had collapsed. "How can you be so cruel? Half a year? Half a year?"

"Ren Qi, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." I hugged him tightly, "If we don't mention this, nothing will happen if we don't mention it."

Suddenly, he stopped. "I want to give you something." After finishing speaking, he took my hand and leaned against his luggage.

"No!" I held him back, "Don't, don't let me see that gift, I'll see it when I'm mentally prepared."

He was quiet for a while, then turned around, took my hand and walked out the door.
