9When the hot June was over, Ryan called and told me that he had finished the exam.At that time, Henric and I were sitting by the French window. Outside the window was the vast sea. Henric's pupils were light-colored. When the sun was shining, the blue light of the sea was reflected in his pupils, which looked as clear as the spring water.However, as I answered the phone, his clear pupils instantly darkened."Rita, I've finished the exam." Ryan's excited voice sounded on the phone. "Can I see you this evening?"I leaned into Henric's arms and said lazily, "Not today. I'm on vacation."He was silent for a moment. Then he suddenly asked warily, "Who is with you?""Good boy, you should not ask this question."I was playing with the buttons of Henric's shirt now and then. "I'll contact you when I go back."After hanging up the phone, I sat up straight in Henric's arms. I turned around and found that he was still sitting very straight. He did not want to bend down even an inch.
10Fineview finally decided to cooperate with the Luthers. After we went back, Henric was busy with the business of their company.When I was free, I contacted Ryan and invited him to meet me at a restaurant that we used to frequent.Probably because I hung up the phone in a hurry that day, the boy was not in a good mood when he came. He deliberately wore a straight face sitting opposite me, as if he was saying, "Come and coax me.""It was my fault. I shouldn't have hung up on you that day."I took out a box from my bag and put it in front of him. "I'll compensate you with this. Is it Okay?"Ryan didn't take it. Instead, he looked up at me and said, "Our university asks us to look for chances of internships during the summer vacation. If you want to compensate me, give me a chance to work as an intern in your company."I raised my eyebrows. Before I could answer his question, he had already taken out two pieces of paper from his bag and handed them over. I lowered my head and gl
11After I sent Ryan to his house, it was already late at night.The young boy was always very clingy.In the house he had newly rented, there was a very big sofa. Under the dim light of the floor lamp, he pestered me to give him a goodbye kiss.I didn't agree, but he kissed me forcibly. He immediately apologized to me before I got angry. "I'm sorry, Rita. I won't do it again."I wasn't able to say what I wanted to say. I could only wave my hand helplessly. "Forget it. I'm leaving."He knew me very well, just like the way I knew him.Over the years, I had been interacting with the people around me. The relationship between me and Jason concerned more about interests and the sense of propriety of adults.Only my relationship with Ryan was different.Perhaps only with him could I sometimes feel pure happiness.I thought Henric was asleep, but when I opened the door, I found that one of the lights in the living room was still on. Under the warm yellow light, there was a faint sw
13When I was in high school, the Luther Group had too many irons in the fire. Since Henric's father was too busy, it was his mother, Celine, who issued the special scholarship each time.Because of Henric, I was always very nervous in front of her. However, I had to force myself to be calm and polite.Eight years had passed. Looking at her, I felt very calm. My mood was not changing at all."Hello, Madam. I'm Henric's..." I paused for a moment. "Old friend."Probably because of what had happened to the Luther family, she looked much older and thinner than she was eight years ago.Sitting opposite me, she now looked like a kind woman next door.However, when Henric heard what I said, his expression froze on his face."Old friend." Celine chuckled and picked up the teacup in front of her. "Indeed. When I went to your high school to grant scholarships, I often saw you and Henric walking together. You seemed to be very close.""Yes, I'm very grateful to Henric. He did help me a l
15The boy stood at the door and looked over with deep eyes. Light and shadows overlapped, but the bottom of his eyes contained the darkest shade. It was as if his disguise had been peeled off so that he was no longer obedient and innocent.At that moment, he looked like a keen-witted adult who could manage on his own.Jason didn't care about Ryan's presence. He didn't even turn around to look at Ryan. He just stared at me as if he was waiting for an answer.I said in a stern and low voice, "Step aside!""Alright."He shrugged and stood straight. Only a few seconds had passed, but Ryan had walked over. He stood side by side with Jason in front of my desk.They were almost of the same height, but compared with Jason, his body shape was more like a teenager's."Rita, I've concluded my work. We can leave now." Ryan simply ignored Jason and said, "I've booked a restaurant. Now It's just the right time to go there."Jason, who was standing beside Ryan, suddenly laughed and asked, "
Author: Qiao Ke Li A Hua Tian After getting drunk, I brought a man younger than me, a womanizer, home, only to bump into my mother with her new boyfriend.Trapping me in the bedroom, my male companion said, "Does it turn you on while you're eavesdropping on the private conversation between my father and your mother, sis?"1At a graduation banquet, I was loaded. After that, I took a young boy from the next private room home.He was pretty good-looking, yet he went astray. At such a young age, he was a womanizer.Hadn't he set my best friend up, I wouldn't have wanted to teach him a lesson.There was a bottle of wine on the table. The product descriptions on it were beyond me.After picking it up, I poured two glasses of wine and turned to look at him."Boy, now that we are at my house, wanna drink something to liven things up?"Narrowing his eyes, he said, "That's good. I'll do whatever you say."So we drank a few glasses of wine. As the drunkenness overwhelmed us, we we
4Feeling curious, my mom poked her head over and asked, "What did Cruz give you? Let me have a look."My hand shook. I closed the paper bag and forced a smile."Thank you, Cruz. I like your gift very much."While cursing him in my heart, I planned to put the gift away.Glancing at me, Cruz suddenly smiled and pulled out a gift box from behind him."I'm sorry, sis. I made a mistake. That's the personal stuff I bought for my friend. This is my gift for you."Before I could react, my mother had grabbed the paper bag from my hand, returned it to him, and handed me the gift box in his hand.It was a bottle of perfume. The packaging was simple and elegant, and the perfume bottles inside were small and exquisite.Upon glancing at it, I saw the French description on it.The English interpretation of the description read: "An angelic bitch."He must be deliberately implying something!I ate the whole meal in a dignified and reserved manner. I even kept putting seafood on Cruz's pla
7After the weekend, I quickly resumed my pace and lived a busy social life.Cruz was different. He graduated this year and hadn't started his new semester yet, so he had nothing to do.One night, he went climbing the mountain with his classmates to watch the sunrise. When I was about to go to bed, he suddenly texted me, saying, "Sis, are you asleep yet?""I am about to.""In that case, can you go pick me up?"He directly sent me a voice message. I clicked on it and heard that the music over there was loud. It seemed that they were at a bar.I almost failed to hear his voice clearly. He said, "I was drunk and couldn't stand still."There was a hint of grievance in his voice, as if he were acting like a spoiled child.After hesitating for a moment, I resigned myself to my fate and took the car keys from the bedside. Then I went out and went downstairs.Fortunately, my mother and Rory had been asleep. Otherwise, I wouldn't know how to explain to them why I went out so late at n
