Chapter 40 Little Bird
Chapter 40 Little Bird
After Chao Jinhan left, I returned to a busy life. In order to graduate early, I took a lot of classes this semester, so I got up early and worked late every day, and sometimes I even came back later than Valentin.At the same time, I had to start planning for the future. I was hesitant to continue studying in Russia as a graduate student. I asked Valentin if he thought about going to Europe or the United States. His answer was very vague, not "I don't want to learn French." It's just "you go, I'll do a part-time job for you when you go", it's a gag, obviously I don't want to say more.I guess it's a bit of a challenge, since not everyone wants to leave their homes and run around the world like I do, so I'll put that aside for now.
Probably because I'm busy with my studies and I can't take care of him. I feel a little alienated from Valentin recently; I used to do it every other day, but now I'm so busy that sometimes I don't have time to make out. In addition to the cold weather, I haven't had time for almost half a month. Do it all with him.I suddenly missed his smell very much. I lay on the bed and sniffed his pillow, took out my mobile phone and asked him what time he got off work today, and if I should pick him up.
After a while he replied, go straight to the bar after work and leave him alone.I turned off the screen, buried my face in his pillow and let out a long sigh. If I didn't have a class in the evening, I could always have dinner with him.I don't know if it's my illusion, but I always feel that once I relax a little, Valentin will naturally retreat back, so I always feel that I can't catch him, and I always feel inappropriate.He is very self-consistent and doesn't care about anything. If I'm not there at night, he'll go out for a drink and don't ask me when I'll be back; After he got busy and forgot about it, he didn't notice it at all.In short, he is at his own pace with me or without me.I can't stand this.
After nine o'clock in the evening, after class, I returned home exhaustedly, and it was pitch black when I entered the house. Sure enough, Valentin hadn't come back yet.I was lying on the bed and playing with my mobile phone, but I was so tired that I fell asleep after a while.After twelve o'clock, I was shocked by the cold and woke up, only to find that the heating was not turned on and the quilt was not covered, and my nose was a little stuffed, and Valentin had not returned yet.I was not clear-headed, so I sent him a message softly, but I didn't wait for him to reply for a long time, so I thought about going to the bar to find him.
I went out in a daze, and felt that I didn't wear enough clothes when I was walking on the road. I even sneezed several times, thinking that I must not catch a cold after being so busy recently.
After walking for about [-] minutes, I saw Olesa smoking a cigarette with her bare legs leaning against the electric pole at the entrance of the bar. I smiled and called her: "—Olesa! You are not cold!"
She kicked her legs, tightened the coat on her body, and said hoarsely: "Hey, Ivan. You are finally here. I have been standing here waiting for you for a month, and I can see through my eyes."
I knew she was joking with me again, so I showed a grateful expression, and I stood at the door and chatted with her, asking her how her business was doing today, and whether anyone bullied her.She burst out laughing, and patted my shoulder: "Okay, don't stand here and talk to me, your boyfriend is in there, but look at it, I've been drinking for several rounds."
I glanced at her unexpectedly after hearing this, and she drove me in: "Why are you looking at me? I've already seen it—I said Valentin is weird..."
I waved to her through the door, seeing the excited look on her face when she revealed the secret, I was a little funny and a little happy, finally someone knew the secret that Valentin didn't let me tell, and I didn't say a word disclosed.
Thinking of this, my footsteps became brisk, and I walked towards the box where Valentin and the others usually sat, and I heard Anton's loud voice yelling again from a long distance: "...you all watch the dishes!"
At first glance, Anton is a big-mouthed person, always revealing other people's faults intentionally or unintentionally, and also likes to brag. The first time we met, he was not very attractive; No malice, just lack of heart, other than that he is warm-hearted, straight to the point, good at telling jokes, so many people like to associate with him.
I remembered a joke he told last week, and I giggled to myself. At the same time, I was at the door of the box. I just touched the handle, but I was stunned when I looked up. I thought I hadn’t woken up. Couldn't press it down.
I thought it was Yulia they said, and she was really radiant, and she was the only thing you could see when you looked in; unexpectedly, she was not a blond orthodox Russian beauty with black curly hair hanging down her waist, Honey-colored skin, different from the straight and thin thighs of Russian women like Olesa, her legs are strong and powerful, her buttocks wrapped in short skirts are round and straight, she is not too tall, she may be a Latino mixed race.
She was pouring wine for them, and sat on the lap of whichever one she was pouring. She was not shy, knowing that they liked to look at her butt, so she deliberately rubbed on their laps a few times. Not obscene, just full of strong flirtatious meaning.At this time someone wanted to ask Yulia to dance, but Yulia said no. She had danced enough tonight, and now she just wanted to drink in peace.
Those few people were not reconciled, but they didn't know her well, and seeing that she spoke firmly, they asked Anton to talk to her.When Anton heard this, he said loudly: "I said? What's the use of me talking, this matter has to be handled by Valentin!" Then he blew his whistle.
The rest of them also took the opportunity to encourage and booed: "Valentin, whether the brothers can feast their eyes today depends entirely on you!"
Valentin sat there without talking at first, and couldn't hold them back, so he got up and sat next to Yulia, and the crowd suddenly burst into cheers.
"Little cat, look, they make things difficult for me," he laughed, "What about you?"
As soon as he finished talking about Anton, he yelled: "... Here we go again! All the good girls call him an animal, and Sophia did the same before. What is that called? What is it?"
"'My little bird,'" Kuznetsov added without hesitation, watching from the sidelines.
"My little bird!" Anton turned his head and repeated it exaggeratedly, and the others all laughed, "Listen! But that Sophia is short and small, isn't she just a little bird?"
Unexpectedly, Yulia didn't get up and jumped up when she heard this, and the people next to her screamed when they saw this, telling Valentin to go out and coax him.
"You call someone a bird, but you call me a kitten!" She acted dissatisfied.
"Why, isn't a kitten cuter than a bird?"
"The little bird is flying in the sky, and the kitten is running on the ground. You think I'm not as decent as her." She showed an aggrieved look, and then suddenly bared her teeth viciously, "But thanks to the indignity, the kitten can tear up the little bird and swallow it." Into the stomach!"
They all laughed loudly, the words ignited the atmosphere like a torch, clapped their hands, applauded, Yulia was very proud, turned over and sat on the back of the sofa, crossed her legs, and stepped on the armrest of Valentin's chair superior.She is indeed like a cat, soft and seductive, straightforward and innocent, and knows how to please men; I stand there, and I feel an uncontrollable fear in my heart-I am afraid of such a woman, young and lively, carefree, and out of line with the surroundings , as easy to handle as a small animal, but at the same time makes people unsteady.No one can refuse to be carefree, everyone wants to forget troubles.I know it all too well.
"You're making it hard for me too, Cat," he said softly, pulling her down and sitting her on his lap.
I've rarely heard him speak in that tone, the only time he was drunk for the first time, buried his face in my back and said "sick".And on the second day, he lay on the ground with his arms around me and kissed.Just at this moment, someone yelled "Kiss", and my whole brain froze in an instant, and I suddenly realized that life, with its hypocritical face, was here waiting to give me a fatal blow.
I rushed in on a rampage.The four seats were quiet for a moment, Anton saw me and shouted: "Ula! Ivan! Long time no see!"
The restless and fanatical atmosphere in the box quickly infected me, Yulia's scrutinizing eyes made me want to laugh involuntarily, I turned to Anton suddenly, clapped hands with him, and said loudly: "I'm late!"
"It's not too late, it's not too late," he received with a smile, and sat down with his arms around me, "The fun has just begun! Give me a kiss! Give me a kiss!"
"Kiss one! Kiss one!"
The people sitting behind all came forward, leaned against my back, and spoke above my head. The voice was amplified countless times, pouring into my ears like a flood. No one noticed that I opened my mouth and exhaled rapidly. No one noticed I was suffocating.
Neither did Valentin, who was kissing Yulia.
Only then did I really see what Valentin looked like when he kissed. It turned out that when he kissed, his thumbs and index fingers would rub together. It turned out that when he kissed, he did not close his eyes, but opened a slit, revealing blue eyes. .And I was never in a daze when I kissed him, and I didn't notice it.
I was surprisingly calm, maybe a soul out of something; the ringing in my ears was over, I broke free from the physical emotional pain and looked at myself again.In fact, I don’t give a shit about what he calls them little birds, kittens, and puppies. His self-respecting machismo can call 1 women 1 different nicknames. I have long understood this. What I can't bear is that so many days and nights, so many nights spent together, can't make him feel a little bit guilty when he kissed that woman.I was very amused, I'm afraid he didn't see any problem with it at all.I don't know what I've been doing these months.
When they finished kissing, Yulia wiped her mouth and fell shyly on his shoulder.Everyone clapped, applauded, and praised him for his good work. He glanced at me.
And this one glance, like a lightning strike, shattered me completely and suddenly.
