Those girls who had seen me before, the first time they saw my eyes, as if they had seen a ghost, this is a bit of an exaggeration, although I am not very good-looking, but at most it is considered “ugly” only, but their faces obviously showed disgust and disappointment, I can never forget.
“Why don’t you say something?” The message continued on the screen.
“Let’s not meet!” I made a wise choice, not to meet can still leave a good impression, once we meet all illusions will be shattered.
“So unsure of yourself?” She continued to ask.
Her, a female internet friend I met when I was at my most disillusioned, her name was Milano, I asked her why she was called Milano and she said it was because at the time she was eating one of those cookies that had a thin layer of chocolate covered on the outside and a crunchy cookie on the inside.
Milano, just like the layer of chocolate on the outside of the cookie, speaks sweetly, I used voice days with her and had a good chat, I don’t look like much, but I still have a magnetic voice. Maybe when girls hear my voice, they will imagine that I am a beautiful man!
The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
“You’re a frog?” Milano asked again.
Right on the money, I once told her not to be fooled by my voice and she said she couldn’t believe how ugly I could be. We’ve never seen each other’s photos because I’m afraid to give them, and of course she won’t offer to give them to me.
“I’m Lai Toad.” I said with great self-awareness.
“Oh! Then I’m a swan!”
I laughed maniacally for a while when I saw this from her, her skin wasn’t just plain thick.
“I don’t believe it.” I answered that on purpose, maybe her voice was deceiving too, maybe she was ugly and fat.
“We’ll see when we meet.” She replied.
I was silent again. She was so confident in herself, but what about me? After the first time to meet the female net friend, all the confidence has long been destroyed, what do I still have left?
“I’m really ugly, it’s better not to meet!”
“Really not seeing?” After she typed the line, the message that she was offline appeared on the screen.
She’s mad at me. She thinks I’m insincere. Is that it?
Why wouldn’t I want to see her? Even if she was ugly and fat, I wouldn’t mind her. Who is Piggy to pick on others? Not to mention that I like her so much.
※※※
Was my request too abrupt? Why was he slow to respond? It was the first time I wanted to see someone so badly, an online friend.
What’s he worried about? I’m not afraid as a girl, what’s he afraid of?
“Why don’t you say anything?” I asked.
“Better not meet!” He finally responded, but the answer wasn’t what I wanted.
“So unsure of yourself?” I continued to type the question.
He is a netizen I met by chance, it’s strange, I never talk to people on the network so much, but talked to him all night, from then on, as long as the Internet meets him, you can talk endlessly.
By the way his name is glass, why is he called glass because he is drinking water and I asked him if he wouldn’t be gay! I’m sorry it’s called a glass ring, so it’s called a glass. We just chatted away.
I remember hearing him say that he had met his online friends a couple of times, only to meet them but never contact them again, so he’s what’s commonly known as a frog, which is an unattractive looking guy, is that why he’s afraid to meet me.
“Are you a frog?” I asked bluntly.
“I’m a toad.” This time he returned quickly.
“Oh! Then I’m a swan!” Toad trying to eat swan meat, surprisingly the slang phrase came to mind.
“I don’t believe it.” So direct, why don’t you believe I’m a swan? Is it hard to believe that all the female netizens he’s met are dinosaurs?
“We’ll know when we see it.” You can’t say it yourself, you’ll know it when you see it.
Why is it quiet again, usually it’s one thing after another with him, not even a bathroom break. And today the conversation broke off several times in quick succession.
“I’m really ugly, it’s better not to meet!”
“Really don’t see it?” I asked again.
Shelter, I can’t believe the computer crashed on me at this point.
※※※
After waiting for five minutes, I still don’t see Mirano on the line, she’s really pissed off, so I’ll get off the line too!
“Milano just logged on” Just as I was about to log off, this message appeared in the bottom right corner of the screen I saw, and all the gloom was swept away.
“Sorry, just pawned it.”
“That’s okay.” Add a smiley face by the way, and I’m literally wearing a smile on my face, even though she can’t see it.
“Saturday morning at ten o’clock, the circle in front of the Jhongli Railway Station, no see you there.” She quickly typed out the string.
I didn’t agree to it!
“If you don’t come, we’re not going to see each other again, no, we’re not going to talk anymore.”
“It’s not that desperate!” I asked anxiously.
“That’s right, I’ll ignore you if you don’t come.”
“I’m afraid you wouldn’t want to talk to me again if you saw me.” It’s true, no girl who has ever seen me has ever wanted to care about me again.
“You’re afraid I will too?”
“Yes.”
“It’s possible!”
“How dare I go if you say that.”
“That’s it! Saturday, out of sight, out of mind.886”
Offline again, giving me no chance to even think about it.
Should I go? The relationship that was so hard to build is about to go up in smoke.
※※※
In the chat room and then how to chat are vain, not as clear as in person, even if you want to love a person also need to know what this person is like ah!
What about frogs? Can’t a frog have a spring? Appearance is just a shell, an illusion, what does it mean?
But do I really care at all what the glass looks like? Can I care less if it’s really a broken face? Let’s talk about it when we meet!
※※※
I’ll die if I have to! As long as I can see Milano once, I’m satisfied. If even she ignores me, I’ll never chat online again.
Oops! Oh no, we only agreed on the time and place, and we didn’t talk about the method of recognizing each other, and there were quite a lot of people around. But as far as I could see, I was the ugliest boy in this little square inch, so it seems that my worries were unwarranted.
When I pulled my eyes back, there was a girl standing in front of me, not small, I mean height, I’m not tall, I’m called one-seven-zero, and this girl is almost as tall as me, could she be Milano?
She seemed to be searching for something else, was she not Mirano?
My heart thumped so hard it almost burst out of my mouth as I took a slight step back, the girl in front of me was very slim in addition to being tall, but her upper body wrapped in a knit top stood out quite a bit, and by that I mean her breasts. The blue jeans held up her lower half, almost dragging the ground, and accentuated her legs even more.
Her long hair was tied in a long braid hanging down her back, her slightly sideways cheeks showed off her glowing and delicate skin, her delicate earlobes were encrusted with a shining gemstone, and her long eyelashes blinked from time to time as if she could already see a pair of big, watery eyes. The upright bridge of her nose made her entire side look like a statue, so beautiful that people did not dare to look directly at her.
She’s really a noble swan, and I’m just a toad. I have seen her, I should be satisfied, why don’t you go away and stay here? But my feet are like shackled with lead blocks, I can’t move a step, I quickly turn my face away, I can’t let her see me. I’d better squat down and tie my shoes on purpose! I am wearing leather shoes, no shoelaces, I can not care about this much, squat down first!
※※※
I’m right next to you! Don’t you even have the courage to recognize me?
I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw the glass, ugly yes, but which was just a lack of perfection in the structure of his features. Eyes are not big, but there are a pair of thick eyebrows, thick eyebrows should be matched with big eyes, but he is a small eyes, I think this is the blame! Nose is not very straight, lips thick, people say that people with thick lips heavy feelings, this is an advantage!
Looking around, it was true that he was the ugliest man within a mile of here, but so what.
In fact, I arrived at less than ten o’clock in order to see if this man was a punctual person, and I was not disappointed, I saw him at 9:50.
Saw him searching for me in the crowd of people coming and going, occasionally saw a few single women, his eyes rested on them, but then moved away, is it because they are not beautiful enough? Is it because they are not beautiful enough? Or is it because he is afraid to recognize them?
As I watched the minutes tick by, I was convinced he was the glass.
I walked slowly to him, I was certain that he was the glass, the man I was waiting for, but I didn’t recognize him, I had to see when he opened his mouth to recognize me.
Beauty and the Beast (II)
A pair of bright white uppers stood period:2004 in front of my eyes, and my whole heart seemed to be in my mouth already, but I didn’t even have the courage to look up.
No, this cowardice is not good, people poor will not be short, and I just appearance is a little worse, on the talent, but no less than other men. Deep breath, I slowly stood up, I have been mentally prepared, even if she instantly turned away, I can face it.
“Hi! Hello.” Squeezing out a small smile with all my strength, I opened my mouth.
“Hello.”
What a sweet smile, it’s as sweet as chocolate melting in your mouth, and at the moment it feels even more like I’m getting drunk from eating wine candies infused in chocolate with fine wine.
“Stupid?”
“I’m sorry I lost my temper.” How could I be so rude? It’s like I’ve never seen a beautiful woman before, which I have! It’s the first time I’ve ever admired a beautiful woman this close.
“What were you looking for?” She had clearly recognized me, but she was still looking around, was she expecting someone else?
“Looking for frogs!” She said smoothly.
“Isn’t there just one in front of us?” I laughed to myself.
She browsed me from head to toe with a raised eyebrow, making me so uncomfortable that I didn’t know what to do with my hands and feet. Unexpectedly, I didn’t find a look of disgust in her eyes, only a playful look of curiosity. This pair of crystal clear eyes, as if they wanted to see through me, staring at me so tightly that I had to turn my head away to avoid her burning gaze.
“Do I look like a strange beast?” I laugh at myself again.
“Huh.” She laughed, “You’re really ugly.”
When I heard her say that, my already awkward smile stiffened even more, and a heart shattered like a glass dropped on a hard marble floor.
“But I don’t care.” She put away her smile and spoke with a serious face.
“Really?” At her comment about not caring, the hard marble floor seemed to turn into a soft bed of springs, bouncing the glass back up. I thought she was just like any other girl, but it turns out she’s really different.
“Are we going to stand here forever?”
“Where do you want to go?” My head was still light, as if my feet were no longer on the ground.
“Paradise.”
“Paradise?”
“Let’s go! There’s no use looking at a beauty, you have to find a way to catch up with it.”
With that, she headed for the busiest street in the city, and I followed closely behind. She was walking faster and faster, weaving in and out of the crowd, and if I didn’t stay close, I might have lost her.
Can I chase after such a beauty? Can I, a toad, eat swan meat? Don’t daydream, as long as she doesn’t ignore me and is still willing to be my friend, I’ll be Amitabha Buddha.
“Here we are.” She cheerfully stopped in front of the department store.
I didn’t realize that in less than ten minutes, I had already arrived at the Far East Department Store on Central West Road.
“So wheezy.” Milano blushed red and toned down her breathing.
Running so fast of course to pant, in the moment she gasped for breath, I used my afterglow to watch her, I only look so as if nothing happened to steal a glance at her, and even deliberately keep a distance from her. Originally, having a beautiful woman beside you should be a glorious and brag-worthy thing, but I was really ruining the scenery, especially when I saw a few men and women passing by whispering, ‘That woman is so pretty, how come she’s with such an ugly boy!’
At that moment, I could finally realize the mentality of those girls. Even if I didn’t care about it, how could I ignore the different eyes of the others. After all, this is a group society, other people’s thoughts influence our behavior all the time.
“You don’t even seem to be able to breathe!” Milano asked.
This sweet voice pulls me back to her.
“I’m usually in the habit of exercising, so this walk is nothing.” I replied with a smile.
People are ugly! No one to pay attention, the extra time, in addition to learning knowledge, will be used to learn martial arts, Taekwondo black belt is the most proud of me, but because of too ugly, the coach did not even give me the opportunity to go abroad to compete, also, I do not want to show my face.
“That’s nice, unlike me who gets out of breath when I run a little.” Her eyes sparkled with a little envy.
“If you are interested, I can accompany you to run …… “Nerd, what stupid words, who would want to accompany a toad to run in the morning, the words just fell, I regret.
“Yeah! You don’t want to be a liar!” She agreed quite readily.
If you don’t rely on it, I won’t rely on it. I only dared to respond to her mentally.
“As long as you don’t mind.”
“Uh-huh.”
Did I say something wrong? Why did she simply respond, but what could I expect her to say? Ugh! I actually felt like running away.
“It’s too early to be here, the department store doors aren’t even open yet.”
After she said that, I realized that the door of the department store was still deeply locked.
“What about? Have you had breakfast yet, why don’t we get something to eat at that fast food place over there.” I said as I pointed to the fast food place not far away.
“I’ve already had breakfast, haven’t you?”
“I’ve eaten too, I run in the morning in the morning and on the way back, I used to bring a breakfast home and fix it.”
“Then …… let’s just go to the clothing store there in front and browse.” She suggested.
“Good.”
I trailed behind her again, following her like an entourage.
“Do you have any money on you?” She asked, turning around sharply.
In that moment, less than braking, I almost ran into her, and a faint floral scent wafted through her hair, almost intoxicating me.
“Sorry.” She apologized.
“It’s okay, I was following too close.” God knows, I was always two steps away from her, I just never expected her to turn around suddenly.
She smiled slightly and turned away, continuing on her way.
I remember she just asked me if I had any money with me. She wanted to buy clothes, I think!
“Honey ……” I don’t know her real name yet.
“Hmm? What is it?” She asked me without stopping, just with a sideways glance.
“I have money with me.” I didn’t know what she had in mind, and it wasn’t good to just guess.
“How much?” She continued to ask and stopped, and this time I noticed the rhythm and followed suit.
“Seven or eight thousand, I think! That’s about it.”
“You have nothing to go out with so much cash money?” She looked at me with a surprised face. “Aren’t you afraid of being robbed?”
“Robbed!” I’m lucky if I don’t get robbed, “If he gets robbed, I’ll admit it.”
“What a mouthful.” She said with a bit of disbelief.
I just smiled and didn’t say anything else.
“So you have a confident smile too.”
A confident smile? Is it? How come I’ve never noticed it before, “Is it hard to see?”
“Look you’re not confident again.” She said deflating her mouth.
What a lovely look, at this moment, I actually had an urge to kiss it.
“Let’s go in this store and browse around!”
Whew! Luckily her voice gave me the emergency brake, “Yeah!”
It was a casual sportswear boutique with a very popular brand. Milano skimmed through the many women’s clothing and finally stopped in front of the men’s clothing.
“Come on! Pick a few sets you like.” She spoke.
It’s not like I’m going to help her pick out clothes for her boyfriend! That’s cruel.
“What size do you want?” I asked.
She flinched for a moment and replied, “Whatever size you wear.”
No way! Her boyfriend should be taller to match her height! How can a guy like me, who stands next to her and looks as tall as her, match?
“Don’t you like the clothes?”
“I like it!” I’m not too picky, and I’m honestly a regular at this store, but what’s the point of me liking it, people don’t always like it!
“Start picking if you like! Pick three or four sets!”
“Whoo!”
All right! Who cares? Just be a nice guy! We’re just friends! You think you can be her lover someday? Don’t daydream.
After a few minutes, picked out a couple of dresses that he was full of favorites and hitched them to his hand.
“That’s all ……” She always follows me.
“I’ve picked out five sets, so if you see any that don’t look good, just strike them out.”
“It’s good that you like it, then …… see if the size fits, and if it doesn’t, you can let the store change it.”
“This ……” I’m a little baffled as to how it feels like these clothes were bought for me.
“I’ll take the top, you try on the pants, the length always needs to be altered!” She took the top from me.
“And no, I know the length.” Yes, it’s been changed a few times to memorize the length of the modification.
“Well, check out first then! And then have them altered.” She shoved the dress in her hand back into mine.
I obediently took the clothes to the counter to check out, and seeing that she had no intention of taking her wallet, I had to pull out my wallet to check out. It’s not that I’m cheap, it’s a bit of a stretch to give my boyfriend a gift and let me, a first-time online friend, pay for it.
“The total is five thousand eight hundred and sixty dollars.” The clerk settled on the total price.
What? It’s so much. I was going to pay cash, but when I heard it was so much money, I’d better swipe my card! Taking out my platinum card and handing it over to the clerk, I deliberately paid attention to Milano’s eyes, she didn’t even blink, as if it was all a matter of course.
All of a sudden, my good impression of her, discounted, what kind of woman is this, is she all about using her beauty, so that we nerds can provide for the little white boy behind her?
Since some of the pants still needed to be altered, I left them at the store and came back to pick them up on my return trip. Next, Milano led me towards a designer sneaker store.
Walking into the store, she did the same to the men’s shoe section.
“Pick two pairs you like!”
“My favorite? What about the size?”
“Whatever size you wear.”
I would like to ask for clarification, but I don’t dare to open my mouth, so I just pick the cheapest pair of shoes, but even if they are on sale two pairs of shoes are still a thousand dollars.
“These two pairs are so ugly, change to another style!” She instantly vetoed the two pairs of discount shoes I picked out, and indeed, I didn’t like those two pairs of shoes either.
“These!” She said with sudden excitement, pointing to a pair of blue sneakers.
I really see the same hero, I stepped into the shoe store, the first glance at the pair of shoes, but as soon as I saw the price tag I gave up, I don’t want to be the wrongdoer, in the end, it must still be me to pay the bill, that’s why I will give up on it on that two pairs of shoes even I don’t care about it.
“I can see you like the shoes, so here they are!”
Without waiting for me to agree, Milano made the decision, even the shoe number she knew, and without saying a word had the clerk wrap it up. My wallet suffered again.
“Pick another pair!”
“You have such a good eye, pick it yourself!” I’m already heart-broken, she won’t be satisfied until she drains me dry today, I’m dying under the peony flower, being a ghost, no, I haven’t even touched the petals of the flower yet, it’s a wrongful death!
“I’ll pick them myself!” She looked down and pondered for a moment, “Miss, which is the most expensive pair of shoes at the head of your store?”
“It’s ……,” the clerk was about to point to a pair of sneakers in the tens of thousands of dollars.
“These are good.” I said as I hurriedly shot up and pointed to the second pair of shoes I had my eye on on the shoe rack.
“This pair it is then. Check out.”
Two pairs of shoes, five thousand six, the clerk saw my face so stinky, automatically down to five thousand dollars, Milano still has no intention of paying, I had to take out my credit card again, swipe it! This is the benefit of credit card.
Carrying my shoes, I walked out of the shoe store with heavy steps.
“The department store should be open! Let’s go there!” Milano said with a leap of faith, then quickened her pace and ran like a department store.
I’m getting weak in the knees. A department store! I’m going to be broke.
Beauty and the Beast (III)
As soon as I entered the front door of the department store, there was a wide array of cosmetics as well as jewelry counters, and if Milano had looked at any of them, I would have gone bankrupt.
But strangely enough, she went up the escalator without even looking at it, and didn’t even stop at the young ladies’ clothing section on the second floor. We’re not going to the men’s section, are we? Sure enough, on the floor where the suits were hanging, Milano took a step into the Golden Lotus.
She looked around, ignoring the fancy suits in front of her, and I felt as if I was relieved that these suits were ten thousand dollars less.
So …… what is she looking for?
“There.” She exclaimed excitedly and ran forward, I followed, not long after, but she stopped again.
“What’s wrong?” I asked while looking up like ahead, this is the men’s underwear counter! No way! I even have to pick out her underwear for her!
“Well …… this ……”
She stammered, half unable to speak, her pretty face was still flushed with red clouds, knowing that she was bashful! It is better for me to open my mouth!
“Do you want me to buy this for you too?” It’s strange to say that seeing her helpless look, I didn’t mind that she spent a large amount of my money, but instead envied that lucky man.
Imagine that man wearing the clothes, no, the underwear, that I had picked out, in romantic candlelight, gently wrapping his arms around the good man, whose delicate hands slowly reached into my underwear and grabbed …… them by the handful.
Oh no, I just thought about it! I can’t believe I’m having a reaction. I’ll lose face if I’m found out. What should I do? I put the bag with the shoes in it in front of my lower abdomen to cover it up.
“What are you thinking about? Drooling at the thought, I didn’t even know you had that fetish, it’s a man’s underwear closet, not a woman’s.”
Milano’s words woke up the dreamer, but they also made me break out in a cold sweat, so I’m not going to make a fool of myself.
“I’m just curious, even this you want to buy?”
She suddenly looked at me with wide eyes and said in a matter-of-fact tone, “Of course I do!”
“Whoo!”
Panting, the most embarrassing scene was tasted, what could be more embarrassing? I decided to tease her a bit.
“So which type do you want to buy? Bullet type or ……” I casually picked up the boxer briefs from the dolly and waved them in front of her, “these four corner ones ……”
“I don’t know! It’s not like I’m going to wear it, you can buy whatever you like.” She panicked and looked away, speaking sharply.
“I’ll buy whatever I like to wear, I don’t like to wear panties.” I continue to tease her, because I found her angry look more charming, eyebrows slightly knit, cherry lips slightly pout, just like a little girl shy posture, and just now that stood beside me and watched me pay the bill of the cold look, simply like two people.
“Whatever, just don’t wear it then.” She seemed to get angry and moved toward the nearby cabinet with a light pacing of her lotus feet.
Oh no, I wanted to tease her on the spur of the moment, but now I’ve made a fool of myself, what should I do? Putting down my panties I timidly walked over to her.
“Angry?” I asked carefully.
※※※
This is really too much, I thought he was honest, but I can’t imagine that he would tease me too, so it looks like I have to rethink this plan.
But seeing that he has been apologizing to me so sincerely, I have always been a soft-hearted person, so how can I really be angry with him!
“Don’t be mad!” He kept repeating a similar apology.
“I won’t be mad if you hurry up and pick.” Forcing a laugh, I spoke in a serious tone.
“Fine, fine, I’ll pick it out for you right away.”
“What help me pick! It’s picking for you.”
“What did you say? Pick for me!” He looked at me with a surprised look on his face.
“Is it still something I’m going to wear!” I don’t even know what he’s surprised about, “What am I doing buying a man’s clothes and pants when I’m a girl?”
“Give it away!”
Giving it away? “Who am I giving it away to!” This is a big misunderstanding, “Hey! Who paid the bill?”
“Me!”
“Who picked out the clothes?”
“Me!”
“Whose size is it?”
“Me!”
“What a succinct answer! “Me!” So who did you say these clothes and shoes were for?” I asked, crossing my arms with one hand and pointing to the shoes he was carrying.
“So …… So these were bought for me!” It finally dawned on me.
“Or what do you think?”
“I thought …… thought ……”
“Think I bought it for another man?” He couldn’t say, I got it, from just buying shoes I noticed, he was too embarrassed to ask, but it is a look of the wrongdoer, pay also paid not dry, do not understand, just ask! A word does not say, this heart still do not know what kind of woman I think of it?
“Hey! You don’t think I spent your money on clothes to stick it to a white boy, do you!” Just caught me, let’s see if I’ll spare you.
“This ……”
See how he’s stammering? It’s probably true. No, it’s definitely true. I’ll keep quiet on purpose and wait for him to confess!
“I …… this ……”
Never mind …… if he pushes it any further, I can see his head is in knots and his face is as red as a tomato.
“Well, well, hurry up and buy one! There’s something else to buy.”
“If it’s meant to be bought for me, I have all of these! There’s no shortage.”
“I know you must have it! But you don’t have it on you!”
“I’m wearing it.”
“All six pieces on your body?”
“Ah!”
What can I say? It was meant to be secret, so I didn’t explain it to him, but if I didn’t, I felt dizzy for a while.
“Would you mind telling me why you let me buy all this stuff!”
“I’ll let you know, after you buy it.”
“No, you tell me now or I won’t buy it, unless you’re giving it away and I’ll pick it out for you, otherwise I don’t need it.”
From the time we met until now, it’s the first time I’ve seen such a serious and solemn expression on his face, it’s because he doesn’t want to be a confused person, right? Indeed, no one likes the feeling of being confused, as if being tricked.
I looked around, it didn’t seem to be as lively as it had been a few moments ago, and leaned closer to his ear and whispered very quietly, “I’m going to run away with you.”
“What? Elope!” After hearing my words, he flailed so loudly that he wanted to find a hole in the ground.
All eyes were instantly on us, and that’s when he realized what a stupid thing he’d done and bowed his head like a child who’d done something wrong.
“I mean “silk shirts”, what elopement ……” I know it’s a very hard turn, but it’s the only way to defuse the awkwardness, and I give him a hard stare.
“Miss.” He pulled me to the side where fewer people were passing and said with a straight face, “What are you playing at? What elopement? You don’t even know what kind of person I am yet, and you’re going to elope with me.”
“Huh! Didn’t you say you were going to take me on a trip? Back in the chat room ah! Said you were going to take me flying all over the place, traveling all over the world for fun and enjoyment? How was that a lie?”
“I did think about it, but not now!” He was kind of cute when he was serious.
“Can’t you go out now?”
“It’s okay! But going abroad is not that simple! You have to get a passport and find a travel agent ……” Sure enough, he was a strict man and a bit of a mother-in-law.
“Who said anything about leaving the country?”
“Not to all over the world?”
“Taiwan hasn’t even had enough! What’s the point of going out of the country! I just want you to accompany me to the center of the country for seven days.”
“But no matter where you go, a day trip like this is fine, but seven days at a time ……”
“Afraid I’ll eat you!” I wasn’t even afraid, but he was.
“I’m a toad! I specialize in eating swans. You’re not afraid I’ll eat you.”
This dilettante is finally getting into the swing of things and reacting more normally.
“It’s not certain who will eat who? Dare to come!”
“Are you for real?”
“Well, of course I’m playing for real, think I’m playing house!”
He bowed his head and contemplated for a while, how beauty companion trip still have to consider ah! But that’s right, if he agrees at the drop of a hat, it’s me who’s afraid.
“Well, have you thought about it?” Nudging his shoulder, I asked.
“I’ll go back and clean up then.”
“There isn’t that time, and I can’t stay here too long, so you’re saying yes?”
“What the hell are you selling in your gourd!”
I know there must be a lot of doubts in his mind, and I’ll make them clear to him over the next seven days.
“Don’t worry! I’m the only one who will lose out, and you won’t lose anything?”
“And to think I swiped a sixth of my paycheck first thing in the morning.”
“A sixth! You didn’t say you had sixty thousand dollars a month!” I can’t imagine this kid is so capable.
“No problem raising you.”
“Yeah! I’m going to scrimp and save.”
“Why?”
“Look how your face stinks when you just paid the bill!” Stinking so bad that the lady actually lowered the price automatically, it’s funny to think about.
“I thought …… thought ……”
Here we go again ……

After the rain, the clouds are clear, so I’m not the wrongdoer, but also the lucky man, Milano even asked me to accompany her on a trip. Seven days, what will happen in seven days, can I go out with Milano and say goodbye to my virginity of twenty-six years? Just imagining it, I felt like I was on a roller coaster, flying into the clouds.
But the head of the heart suddenly swung, this roller coaster will not be derailed ah! I’m afraid to end up in pieces, thinking of this can not help but scalp numb.
But think about the Milano I know, except for a little bit of naughty and a little bit of naivety, how to look at it is like an innocent angel, good fairy, she will come to design and set me up for no reason? I’m not a prince, I’m just a frog.
Hurriedly, I purchased all the items she specified and then caught this train to Taichung.
Not long after boarding the train, Milano fell asleep. Was it because she was tired from the early morning rush? Or was it because she hadn’t slept at all? Could this trip to Taiwan have been her long-planned arrangement, but why she picked me was a question that remained unanswered.
Maybe I’m overthinking it, Mirano is not like other shallow women, she’s loyal to her feelings and believes in the vows we once made heart to heart in the chat room. ‘Never to dislike each other, no matter what the other looks like.’ This was something that Mirano had initiated after I had continually lost faith in my own looks.
But now, Milanor is as beautiful as heaven, so naturally I have no reason to dislike her, but what about me? I’m as ugly as a toad. If she doesn’t mind me today, what about tomorrow? Will she be able to look at me day and night?
“It’s cold!” She woke up. “Really, the air conditioning is on so strong, do you have a jacket to lend me.”
“You wait.”
In August, who would wear a jacket when going out? I took out the sweatshirt I had bought, barely enough to act as a blanket, and draped it over her, and she grabbed the shirt and fell asleep on my shoulder, like a soft cat. The air conditioning in the trunk of the car was indeed too cold, she still kept leaning her body close to me, continuing to look for warmth.
Looking at her curled up uneasily, I wanted to take her into my arms and hold her tightly, giving her my passion, but I was afraid that she would think I was up to no good, so I stopped.
“Hsinchu Station is here ……”
Hearing the announcement in the trunk reminding travelers, I looked at my watch, it’s already been half an hour on the train, turning my head to look at Mirano, she’s sleeping quite peacefully, she shouldn’t be cold anymore!
After a while the car started to shake again, and in another hour we would be in Taichung.
Would have liked to take a nap, to recuperate, but the trunk came noisy voice, I turned around to see, two high horse pugilistic big man holding a piece of paper, one by one to the travelers to ask, the attitude is quite bad, but in the way of the person’s size is huge, can only be resigned to cope with.
They were looking for someone! Based on their behavior, I judged them as such. Whether they are or not, this kind of fierce man is definitely not a good person, so I pull the sweatshirt covering Milano’s body over her head to cover her face.
“Cold!” Milano cried out in cold as soon as her clothes were removed, and had no choice but to hold her close in her arms. “Sorry.” Like grabbing some warm object, Milano tightly wrapped her arms around my waist and went back to sleep.
I grew up so big since, in addition to my mom, has not given any woman hugged, Milano is the first one. My heart thumped non-stop, honey Lanuo’s hair scent although a layer of clothing, but still wafted to my nose, bad, I again …… have a reaction.
Now that Milano is leaning so close to me, what if she is discovered? I was about to push Milano away a bit, but the two big men from earlier had already walked to the neighboring seats.
“Have you seen this man?” The big man in the black suit questioned the neighboring passenger in a foul tone.
“No …… there is.” The neighboring granny gave a stutter of shock and couldn’t speak.
“Hey! Have you seen it?” The other big guy with a flat head turned to me.
Looking at the photo in the big man’s hand, I froze in a flash, isn’t that Milano?
“You’ve seen it?”
My surprise reveals the cracks.
“No.” I replied with a firm voice.
“No! I don’t believe it.” He grabbed me by the collar and glared at me fiercely, “I’ll make you look good if you lie.”
It’s not that I’m a wimp, it’s not the right occasion, or I’d make him pay, no one dares to be so rude to me, and I swallowed it to avoid any complications.
“This young lady is so beautiful that anyone who looks at her will be awestruck, but it’s a pity that I haven’t had the chance to meet the young lady in person.” I said back.
“Huh.” The big man snickered, dropped my collar, retrieved the photo as well, and was about to leave.
Milano, however, moved her body at that moment, the sweatshirt slipping off her head, the long braid of hair falling down, and I tried to cover up again, but the big man had already noticed.
“Who is she?” The big man asked loudly.
“She’s my wife.” The situation was urgent, so I had to just lie.
“Really?”
Up to this moment I realized that I look like a very bad liar at a glance.
“You don’t believe it? I’ll wake her up and show you.”
“No need, your wife must be ugly, I don’t want to turn my stomach.” After saying such snarky words, I looked at their backs and felt like they were shaming me, and if it wasn’t for Mirano, I would have thrown them out of the train.
Soldiers can be killed but not humiliated, I was angry and clenched my fists, but with can’t give a headache. Suddenly, a warm feeling pressed against the back of my hand.
“Honey ……”
“How outrageous, how can they say …… that,” said Milano, glaring with two hateful eyes at the big man who had already left this carriage.
For the first time, I saw a lurid murderous aura in Mirano’s crystalline beauty, and I couldn’t find any adjectives to describe how touched I was at the moment that she was actually angry for me.
“It’s okay, I won’t take it to heart.” I comforted Mirano, a strange move, obviously I’m the one who’s hurt, but I’m also the one who’s comforting.
“Who says you can’t have a pretty wife if you’re ugly.” Milano said indignantly.
People are ugly! It turns out that in Milano’s mind, she thinks I’m ugly, too.
“Do you think I’m pretty?” Milano asked me, turning her head suddenly.
Looking at me were big, watery eyes, and Milano’s eyes were brimming with tears, were they for me?
“Why are you crying?” I reached out to wipe the tears from her face, but gave up for fear of desecrating her.
“Never mind the tears.” She casually wiped away a tear on one side then continued, “Am I beautiful!”
“Beautiful, you’re the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen.” Looking at her, I spoke from the bottom of my heart.
“Okay, then I’ll be your wife.”
Beauty and the Beast (IV)
“Well–, don’t you want to sleep? Go ahead and sleep!” I patted Milano’s back as if it was nothing, soothing her as if I were a big brother.
Can I be serious? If I did, I’d be a real fool.
“You don’t believe what I’m saying?” She looked at me with pure innocence in her eyes.
“Believe it!” I replied in my usual perfunctory manner.
“You don’t believe me, I can see that.”
“I’m sure, you sleep! We’ll be at the station in less than an hour.”
She pouted her little lips, probably thinking I was boring! Lowering her head on my shoulder, she went back to sleep. She is really tired! Otherwise, she wouldn’t have let me off so easily, she must have asked me to blush.
Speaking of blushing, I’m surprised that what she just said didn’t make my heart race because she knew it was impossible? Is this a confidence response, or have you simply lost faith and don’t want to think about it that much.
What’s wrong with Milano? Why were those two men, who seemed to be very bad people, going around with photos asking for her whereabouts? I remembered Milano as a simple girl, could it be that it was just an illusion? We’ll have to wait until we get to our destination to find out.
An hour passed quickly, carrying two large suitcases of luggage and getting off the bus in a crowded crowd.
When I got off the bus, I of course took on the responsibility of carrying the luggage, which was my duty.
Milano asked the others for information about hitchhiking, and then I caught the passenger bus as if in a hurry after her.
After putting my bags down and sitting down, I asked, “Where are we going?”
“Clearland Farms.”
“Clearland Farm!” I looked at her with a puzzled look on my face, “You could have told me, I could have driven you there!”
“If I could have told you earlier, I wouldn’t have had to go through all that trouble.”
“Fine! It’s still early to get to the Clear Realm anyway? Can you tell me exactly what kind of trouble you’re in?”
“No! I just suddenly wanted to go play!”
“Hmm? Just like that? How does that explain what happened on the train?” I’m not really stupid, I’m just ugly but not stupid! She was clearly preoccupied.
“I don’t want to talk about it now, can I tell you tonight?”
Seeing the sadness in her eyes, how could I bear to push her any further?
“Which you’re going to go back to sleep now?”
“Uh-huh.”
Nodding, she skillfully leaned on my shoulder and went back to sleep, and I was bored to death and had to follow. Until we entered the mountains, the road peaks and turns, the body rocking I can no longer sleep, I had to look at Milano’s sleeping face dry eyes.
What a delicate and small face, pink and tender, now take a closer look, it seems that there are no traces of artificial modification on Milano’s skin, even the lipstick has not been rubbed, what a natural beauty. Alas! Can’t help but I sigh, I just don’t have that life born so, if there is half of Milano good-looking, I will definitely try my best to pursue her.
Turned numerous curves, the sky is also gradually dark, the original verdant forest, covered with a layer of mist, with the elevation of the pull up, see the scenery is also very different, but it seems that after the mountain road, the speed of the car is obviously slowed down, and even sometimes stalled for a few minutes. Suddenly remembered, now is the summer vacation, the peak season of tourism.
So! Milano was traveling on an impromptu basis, so it’s not like she’s going to be camping out in the countryside at night! Thinking about the problem of accommodation, I couldn’t help but panic. I don’t have a problem with sleeping out in the countryside, but Milano is a delicate woman, how can she sleep out in the middle of nowhere? I’m not afraid of criminals, but I’m also afraid of the late night dew, if I catch a cold, what can I do?
I gently tapped Milano on the shoulder, trying to wake her up.
She sleepily opened her eyes and gazed at me with a grim look that I had disturbed her dreams, her sheepish jade fingers half covering her mouth as she said, “Are we there yet?” She moved her head toward the window, trying to get a better view.
“It’s still early? I meant to ask you, did you book a room?”
“Booked.” She replied in a subdued manner.
It seems I was overthinking it, and suddenly another question came to mind, “How many rooms did you book?”
“One room!”
“Then where am I going to sleep!” I’m not going to be asked to pitch a tent or sleep out in the middle of nowhere!
“Sleep together!”
Every answer she gives seems like a given, but I can’t take it that way! “You mean I’m sleeping with you?”
“That’s right!”
“That’s not good!” I know it should be the best for me, but I’m a decent guy, how can I take advantage of someone!
“I trust you to be honorable.” She looked at me with trusting eyes.
Originally I thought I was a decent man, but after she said that, I was a little weak instead, who can guarantee that when a beauty is in your arms, you can still be a willow? Not to mention such a sweet girl.
“Huh.” She suddenly smiled with a flourish, but she didn’t say anything, just continued to look out the window.
What is she thinking? Does she really believe me? Or does she intend to test me? Then don’t, I’m afraid I might not be able to resist the temptation and the toad will really eat the swan.
But if she was the one who came forward to seduce me, should I refuse? Just as I was getting delusional, the stalled car started to sway again and my head whipped around a bit. How ridiculous, maybe I’m just a free bodyguard for Milano, suddenly remembered that I once told her that I’m a black belt in Taekwondo, maybe she just sees that in me, so she chose to let me accompany her to the end of the world.
Okay, okay, okay! Since Jiaoren looks up to me, I have to lay down my life to accompany Jiaoren.
Today is Saturday, let’s see what’s going on for the next two days, and then ask the company for time off if we need it! Now that I’m out, let’s just relax and have a good time touring the mountains!
After sitting for a long time and stretching, when I straightened my back, opened my arms, and took a deep breath, I looked at Milano’s back, and suddenly remembered an image that often appeared on TV, where boys would deliberately stretch by and then take the girl into their arms, should I do the same?
“I still don’t know your real name?” I was about to do that when Milano suddenly turned her head and spoke to me.
“My name is Yang Sheng.” I hastily withdrew my restless hand and answered her question, “And you?”
“My name is funny.” An embarrassed look crossed her face.
It’s not like she’s called some kind of aju ahwa or something!
“Come on! I won’t laugh.” I will never laugh even if I do call Aju, that’s what I tell myself.
“Really?” She asked seriously.
“Really.” I replied seriously as well.
“Then I said it!”
“I’m all ears.”
“Blue Rose.”
“That’s not quite a name, is it!” Instead of laughing, I did get a little angry, and I honestly gave my real name, but she didn’t answer seriously.
“My last name is really Blue Rose! Shall I show you my ID.” As if she could see my disbelief, she actually made a motion to pull out her wallet.
“If you say so.” I honestly wanted to see her ID, but that would have been too hurtful, and since she didn’t want to talk about it forget it.
“Ugh!” She sighed, pulling her wallet out of her jeans and spreading it out on my lap, “See for yourself if I lied to you.”
I picked up her wallet from her lap, a pink ID card in front of me, a good clean headshot, the left side of the photo is clearly printed with the words ‘Blue Rose’, the left side is her date of birth, it turns out that she is only two years younger than me, her birthday is August 5th, that’s not today.
“It’s your birthday!” I spoke in surprise.
