A person who feels worse than death will not take any responsibility for anyone. He drove more than ten Miles Qiao in one breath and came to the coast, where he and several single friends organized a small club. Today is not the weekend, and his friends are all working, so he is the only one in the simple green painted wooden house. He sat on the beach, in the sun, sand, and the steaming heat of the sea water, and spent a morning and an afternoon. The whole world is like a tooth that has been rotted, numb, and he doesn't feel anything, but when the wind blows, there is a slight pain. When he believes that he has regained control, he drove back again. The servants saw him and didn't dare to ask anything. He called Mrs. Miqiu. Mrs. Miqiu said: "Hey! Are you Roger..." Roger said: "Is Suxi with you?" Mrs. Miqiu paused and said: "Here." Roger said: "I'll be there right away!" Mrs. Miqiu paused again and said: "Okay, come!" Roger took the receiver in his hand and didn't hang up. I heard the person on the other end holding the receiver quietly, as if he was stunned for a moment, and then he hung up with a click.
Roger was driving to High Street, thinking along the way that he had taken this matter too seriously. Shyness was normal for girls. Suxi grew up in a special environment and might be more confused than others. Their cohabitation life was not without hope of success. Hong Kong at present was the background of yesterday's unpleasant memories, but they could go to Japan or Hawaii for their honeymoon together. In that distant and beautiful place, he could try to give her some love education. Love education! Such corny terms always disgusted him. At that moment, he almost wished that he would marry a bad woman who was more humane and experienced, a woman who did not need "love education". When he arrived at High Street, Mrs. Micho opened the door herself and said with a smile: "You came at this time, Roger! We were so anxious. You two have childish tempers and are making a scene!" Roger asked: "Where is Suxi?" Mrs. Micho said: "On the balcony of the back building." She led the way upstairs. Roger felt that although she was trying to make a light-hearted and joking attitude, her face was red and white, and her expression was uncertain. She seemed a little afraid of him, and a little unhappy, blaming him for not apologizing. Roger pursed his lips; why should he apologize? What did he do wrong? When they reached the stairs, Mrs. Micho stopped, put one hand on Roger's arm, and said hesitantly: "Roger..." Roger said: "I know!" He walked to the back stairs alone. Mrs. Micho held the stairs and smiled: "Good luck to you!" Roger took a few steps and suddenly stopped. Yesterday at noon, before the wedding, like a curse, she had also blessed them... He frowned, closed his eyes quickly, and opened them again. He didn't turn around, just said a hasty "Thank you!" and went into the room. It was Kate Ling's bedroom, dark and unlit, with the smell of talcum powder floating in the air. The glass door was open, Susi, who had probably just taken a bath, was wearing a white silk dressing gown, sitting on the iron railing of the small balcony with her back to him. The street below the balcony was sloping, with mud and grass falling down for more than ten feet. So when you look out, there is nothing but the sea at dusk. On the other side of Kowloon, a string of green gasoline lamps flashed and blinked. Roger stood at the glass door and called out softly, "Suxi!" Suxi didn't move, but she couldn't stop her white silk shirt from being blown by the wind and hitting the railing. Roger couldn't control his voice either, and it was shaking badly. He walked behind Suxi and wanted to put his hands on her shoulders, but he gestured in the air and then dropped his hands. He said, "Suxi, please forgive me!" He said this against his will, because he now forgave her innocence.
Suxi turned around, grabbed his hand, put it on her cheek, and cried, "I forgive you! I forgive you! Oh, Roger, why didn't you give me a chance to say this earlier? I hated you all day!" Roger said, "Dear!" She turned her body to lean against him, and there was a danger of sliding down the railing. He wanted to get closer to let her lean on him, but it seemed... more dangerous. He hesitated for a while, then crawled under the railing and sat on the second railing facing inward. The two sat face to face like children. Roger said, "We will go on our honeymoon tomorrow." Suxi was surprised and said, "Didn't you say you would wait until next month, after the final exam?" Roger said, "No, tomorrow! Japan, Hawaii, Manila, you can choose." Suxi held his hand tighter. Yesterday, Roger's attitude towards her was wrong, but after all these twists and turns, he now knows to repent. This is the first step of her "love education" for him. Japan, Hawaii... Under the mysterious moonlight of a foreign land, she could complete her "education of love". She said, "Do you think they will let you go?" Roger smiled and said, "Can they control me? Anyway, I have been doing this for fifteen years, so I can always make some concessions." Suxi said, "How long can we go? Six weeks? Two months?" Roger said, "The whole summer vacation." Suxi tightened his hand again. It was getting dark, and the wind was getting stronger. Roger sat in a relatively low position, and the corner of Suxi's clothes was blown by the wind and flew straight to his face. She smiled and used both hands to protect his cheeks; her thumbs slowly rubbed along his shield hair and along his eyelids. This time, she didn't say anything, but he couldn't help but remember her warm words. He said, "Should we go back?" She nodded. They walked out through Kate Ling's room, arm in arm.
Mrs. Michou was still standing in her original place, at the top of the stairs. At the bottom of the stairs, stood Milis, her auburn hair was disheveled, her face was white, her eyes were slightly swollen, her head was raised, her pointed chin was stretched forward, as if she had had a heated argument with Mrs. Michou upstairs. Roger said, "Good night, Milis!" Milis did not answer. She hung her arms straight down, her fingers opened and then clenched. Mrs. Michou rushed downstairs in front of them, hugged Milis and pushed her against the wall, as if she was afraid that she would do something. Roger saw this and his face changed. Susi leaned her head on his arm and whispered, "Hawaii..." Yes, they were going to Hawaii tomorrow, far away from Milis, Mrs. Michou, and the servants... Although there were not many people who knew about their affairs, it was embarrassing enough. Of course, they would still have to see these people after they returned from their trip, but by then, they would have a real close bond, all suspicions would be gone, and they would not be afraid of anyone. Roger smiled at Su Xi, and the two of them walked downstairs arm in arm. As they passed in front of Milissen, although it was an early summer night, the temperature suddenly dropped, and Roger could feel the white air from Milissen's breath spraying on his neck. He turned around and said to Mrs. Michoer, "Goodbye, Mom!" Su Xi also said, "Mom, see you tomorrow!" Mrs. Michoer said, "See you tomorrow, dear!" Milissen hummed softly, and it was unclear whether she was laughing or moaning. She said, "Mom, after all, Su Xi is braver than me. I didn't say a word to Frank on the phone later." When she mentioned the name of her husband Frank, her thin lips lifted up, revealing a row of small teeth, which were so white that they looked blue under the light. Small blue teeth... Roger shuddered. Mrs. Micholl said, "Come, Mi Lisheng, let's go to the balcony to enjoy the cool air." Roger and Susi went out and got into the car. They talked very little in the car, and all they talked about was the various procedures for buying the boat tickets tomorrow. Susi planned to pack her luggage as soon as she got home. When they got home, Roger asked the servants to prepare dinner. The servants still seemed a little flustered and lost. The bedroom had not been cleaned for them; the lamp was still turned down, less than a foot away from the bed. Roger looked up at Susi's photo, then looked down at Susi, and couldn't believe that she was really in this room. He held the lampshade with his hand and aimed the light, shining it directly on her face. Susi couldn't open her eyes, and she laughed and shouted sharply, "Hey, hey! What are you doing?" She covered her eyes with both hands, tilted her head back, and when she laughed, she showed a row of small teeth, white and blue. ... Small blue teeth! But how beautiful! Her loose light golden hair fluttered in the light. A person with such soft hair must have a head full of soft dreams, right? He must be in the dream, right?
