Chapter 6 Chapter Six

A clear lotus blooms gracefully on the rice paper, and the lotus leaves of light ink also emerge from the water one by one, highlighting the posture of the lotus.On the lower right side of the rice paper, the theme Gufang is highlighted. Luo Hong put the brush back on the pen stand, originally she just wanted to wait for the ink to dry up so that she could put away the painting, but unexpectedly she fell into the usual trance for the past two days. Are you doing your homework?Mrs. Luo entered the study and asked. Yeah, no, I'm just drawing, and I'm done.She collected the scattered items on the table.

The painting is not dry yet, let's put it aside, I don't need a desk. oh. It's late autumn, and the weather is cool in the morning and evening. My mother is wearing my father's sweater. It seems that my father served it himself. In the half-closed study room, I can vaguely hear the sound of the range hood from the kitchen.Father is preparing dinner. Mr. Fan hasn't come to pick you up from school these days.Mrs. Luo spoke. Doesn't the mother want to read a book when she enters the study room, but to chat with her?She lowered her head and fiddled with the brush. His parents came to Taiwan to visit relatives.

He didn't introduce you to his parents?Mrs. Luo's delicate brows furrowed slightly. I refused.She kept thinking about whether this refusal was right or wrong, but she couldn't come up with a clear answer.It seems that no decision is appropriate. You don't like him. Yeah?But I haven't seen him for two or three days, and I miss him in my heart. Is it because he is her only friend?How do you know if you like it or not?she wondered. Mrs. Luo caressed the male sweater on her body, and looked at her daughter who was some distance away.Do you know how your father and I met?

Dad said you were classmates in high school, and he has always liked you. Being classmates doesn't mean we know each other, not to mention that there were many people chasing me at that time, especially after I went to university.Mrs. Luo blushed a little on her pale face, and talked about the past with embarrassment: Once I was sick, many people came to visit me with flowers and gifts, but what your father sent was the important notes in class.You know I've been strong and unyielding all my life.It's understandable to feel frustrated when final exams are approaching and you haven't been able to prepare for your homework.Your stupid dad who studied in the Department of History just went to the Department of Accounting to help me with my class for three days, and caught a lot of archaeological questions, so that I could still get good grades in the exam, but he was almost passed the 21st.She heaved a sigh of relief.I think that every woman needs a different partner in her mind.I need a man who can give me peace of mind.At that time, I didn't understand how to distinguish between likes and dislikes, but I was willing to spend my life with your dad, and that was enough.I never thought I would fall in love with anyone, so I didn't handle my feelings carefully.But maybe I liked him before I knew it.

The mother and daughter never had a chance to talk for a long time, so the atmosphere in the study seemed a bit stagnant.Mrs. Luo is not a loving mother, but she has tried her best as a mother to share her experience with her daughter. Luo Hong said softly: Why are boys always the suitors and understand who they are after? I don't understand either.But it should be an honor to be liked, even if you don't like the other person. I don't know whether I like it or not.This is her biggest problem right now. Don't worry, you are only a sophomore.Selfish as a parent, I hope that my daughter will not get involved in love too early, after all, it is a bit tiring.

Luo Hong started to pack up the drawing paper.Thinking of him returning to Japan after this semester, thinking of the distance between two different countries, thinking of the blurred line between him and her It seems a bit self-deceiving to call only friends. Fan Qun's Chinese surname comes from his mother, Fan Ruolun.Fan Ruolun's appearance was originally petite and delicate, and she lived in Japan for twenty-eight to nine years, which made her more like a little Japanese woman. The two children she gave birth to all looked like her, with fair and handsome appearance. Qunji, are you worried?It has been three days since I visited Taitung, and Fan Ruolun is sensitive to the fact that his son is not as cheerful as before.

Fan Qun looked away at the distant mountains and smiled at his mother. No, where's Dad?He helped his mother sit down on the stone chair together.Tonight they decided to participate in the star-gazing banquet held by the hotel. The restaurant provided barbecue and other food, and they sat in the open air on the large square in front of the hotel, admiring the stars and the moon.Although the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed for a month, it is also a full moon with the same bright moonlight, so there is no need to worry about whether it is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Your dad is taking a hot spring, come over later.

Fan Qun nodded, got up and went to the food area to bring some skewers of barbecue and drinks. Is there anyone in Taiwan that you miss?Fan Ruolun asked gently. He doesn't want to talk.If Luo Hong's refusal to meet his parents means that he doesn't agree with him, then he'd better not mention it, lest his parents be happy in vain.When he reached the marriageable age, his family members were naturally sensitive to his friendship status. He didn't want to say too much, just said: There are too many people who can make me miss.Are you still out of touch with grandpa? Fan Ruolun patted his son lightly.

Bad boy, divert my attention.The elegant Liu Yue raised her eyebrows.The last time he had his birthday, I asked Yang Chen to deliver Ang Ku Kueh to wish him a happy birthday.I said yes, but he didn't want it. You know that grandpa hates Chinese things.he laughs. Filial piety is an inherent tradition in China. Going back to the source, what is wrong with me expressing it in a Chinese way?Leaning on her son's shoulders, she was very satisfied with maintaining the current harmonious relationship with that Japanese father-in-law. Your grandfather is counting the days waiting for you to go back, and he heard that someone from the mansion has sent a photo of Xia Shao's Japanese daughter.She wants her son to be mentally prepared.

The old man always likes to think about these things, let him go. Son, are you so submissive? Mom is not really submissive either.He smiled and kissed his mother's face. Hey, you are so brave, you dare to mess with my wife.A hand knife slashed and separated the mother and son who were cuddling together.And pushed Fan Qun to the opposite side of the table, his huge body occupied all the space beside Fan Ruolun. Toshihiko Kawabata used to be a typical Japanese cool guy with a golden ratio figure, a rough face and a handsome face. Now he is fifty-five years old, and his height of 180 has not shrunk, but his weight has pushed towards 100 kg.He teaches English and mathematics at school, but he is always regarded as a physical education teacher, and no one dares to make trouble in front of him. Therefore, for more than 20 years of teaching, he has been sent by the school to accept classes full of bad students.

But since his weight is raised by his wife, it means that his deformation will not be disgusted by his wife, so he is happy to recite the famous saying that if a gentleman is not heavy, he is not powerful. Fan Qun went to bring some food again, sat down and said: Going to Hualien tomorrow, I have booked a hotel, can you two?He took four days off and had to go to class tomorrow. worry about what?Don't forget that I am more familiar with the east than you. I want to pursue your mother back then. I have entered and left Taiwan fifty times in the past four years. Every time I come to Huadong, I can be a guide.Toshihiko Kawabata always likes to boast about his great achievements in chasing his wife. That's good, I'll leave the car to you, and contact me when you get to Taipei. Qunji, the head of the department at Tokyo University has been asking me about your wishes. Your grandfather hopes that you can teach in Tokyo. He really favors you too much.Speaking of this, the pride of being a father rose again. Then the University of Tokyo.He didn't care where he taught. I really feel that the group is very wrong.Kawabata Toshihiko whispered loudly to his wife. It's just like you can't catch up with your girlfriend's annoying appearance, so what's so strange about it. I knew you still thought the man who chased you was a fool.Toshihiko Kawabata muttered. Fan Ruolun patted her husband's hand gently. Qunji, having a woman he likes should be something to be happy about.Even if you can't see the result for a while, and don't know what the future will hold, we will be very happy for you. We are also enlightened parents, and we will not rigidly stipulate that you must marry someone with certain conditions. You really don't Are you going to introduce that girl to us? Mom smiled wryly, not knowing what to say. Hey, son, doesn't the girl you fancy also have plots against Japan?I want to avenge my grievances. We shouldn’t have to recite the wrong things done by our ancestors. Then why do you mourn the souls of those who died under the atomic bomb in Hiroshima and Nagasaki every year?It's fine if you admit it, but it's extremely shameful to tamper with the textbook month and reverse the truth.There is coldness in the gentle voice. His wife Toshihiko Kawabata clasped his hands together and shouted anxiously: I was wrong!On behalf of the 120 million people in Japan, I would like to express my apologies to you, the representative of China, please stop talking, if our children and grandchildren will become officials in the future.They will definitely explain that they want to revise the textbooks, is that ok?He is most afraid of his wife's resurgence of hatred, and he will definitely be the one who is unlucky. Fan Ruolun still had a gentle voice: Oh, sir, I didn't say anything, why do you apologize so carefully?Don't be like this soon, teach your father to see him, I'm afraid he won't scold his wife and slave.My daughter-in-law is in trouble. Well, well, only one old account is calculated for a year, and if there is more, you will be prepared to be widowed early.These two things made his road to chasing his wife bumpy.I really don't know why I insist on marrying a Chinese wife to suffer. Fan Ruolun chuckled, poured tea and brought food for her husband, and looked at her son after teasing her husband. Where is your problem?Can't be of Japanese descent? I don't think that's the main reason.Fan Qun shook his head, well aware of his mother's habit of asking persistently until now, it was obvious that she cared to the point where she had to know, so he couldn't help but say it.She is very quiet and young. Before I expected love, I started pursuing her, which made it difficult for her to adapt, and she habitually retreated to deal with it.She also told me honestly that she has no plans to marry a foreign country, that is to say, your son is in unrequited love through and through, and he is so ambitious that he wants to turn unrequited love into mutual love.But she was more sensible and rejected me directly. No way?My son, my son who is so good that everyone loves him, how many people are queuing up to register and wait to marry such a beautiful man!Kawabata Toshihiko yelled loudly.From childhood to adulthood, how many little girls stood at the door of their house and waited to see Prince Charming. How could they be so deflated in the colony of Taiwan!What are they Taiwanese thinking? Dad, it has nothing to do with that. Yes, sir, stop barking.Fan Ruolun patted her husband, it was almost thirty years of habit, like patting a puppy.Qunji, the point is, can you give up on her?You are a person who is not easy to let go of your emotions. If you go back to Japan with regrets, you probably won't be tempted by others anymore, right?Instead, can't you try harder?This may not be easy for you who live a normal life, but when it comes to love, men always do things that can move women. I think your father must have a lot of experience in those tricks.Master, she smiled and snuggled up to her husband. Toshihiko Kawabata rolled his eyes. I have only chased after your mother in my life. I used the stupid method of traveling to Taiwan fifty times in four years, and I worked hard to learn Chinese before I was allowed to marry you.But son, your Chinese is very good, and it is not uncommon for you to travel to and from Taiwan many times. I doubt that my method will be useful to you.He shrugged his shoulders to his wife, expressing his helplessness. Fan Qun stood up and hugged his parents, thanking them for their concern and singing and writing for making him happy. He said seriously: It's not that I didn't think about launching a violent pursuit, because love makes people involuntarily want to possess, and want to win the other person's heart by all means, but I don't want to cause too much trouble for others, let alone that girl is exactly what I want people.At present, I am satisfied to see her every day. As for the mood after returning to Japan, and how long it will take to talk about relationships in the future, I don’t need to think too much.Really, I'm fine.To be able to fall in love with someone is a very good thing, no matter the ending is so-called happy or tragic. Not falling in love with you is definitely the loss of that girl.Fan Ruolun nodded and said. Isn't it his regret? Can meet but can't stay together. bump! A volleyball knocked off the book in her hand. Luo Hong stared blankly at the ball rolling aside, remembering that she had encountered a similar incident before, and that incident made her meet Fan Qun. sorry!How are you?The clear baritone came quickly. She looked up and saw a boy running over with the sun, standing in front of her with a ninety-degree bow in three big strides. Excuse me, we're in gym class, are you hurt?Does it hurt?After bowing, the boy hurriedly picked up the book she had left on the ground.This is your book, ah!From the Chinese department?Your voice stopped abruptly. Luo Hong quietly retracted the book, without the desire to speak; the interruption for a few seconds upset her carefully concealed thoughts, and her mood went back to a deeper loss.After four days and nights, it seems to have endured four cold and heat. Hello, miss, classmate!Behind him came the cry of the boy who had been in a daze for a long time. She looked suspiciously, is there anything else? I like you!My name is Gao Kaixi, I fell in love with you at first sight, what's your name?The boy named Gao Kaixi chased after him and asked.Then he walked backwards, looking straight at her. She stopped in her tracks, looked up at the impolite boy, thinking that there were a lot of strange people this year. I'm a first-year student in the Department of Electrical Engineering. I introduced myself. How about you?Say something.He kept walking backwards. If he continued walking, he would definitely bump into the pillar that Fan Qun almost hit last time, so she stopped walking. I don't want to know you. Don't say that, I'm very sincere, and I don't have a girlfriend at the moment, what grade are you in Chinese?Must rarely participate in social or school activities; I haven't seen you, if I do, I will definitely be impressed. Because he was too close to her, she kept backing away quietly, disliking his excessive enthusiasm and sweaty body odor.Fan Qun rarely sweats all over his body, and he doesn't have too obvious body odor. Someone was calling the boy's name on the field not far away. The boy waved his hand and threw the ball back. Luo Hong took the opportunity to walk away quickly, but he couldn't get rid of the boy's shadow. go away.She groaned a little angrily. You look good when you're angry, so we won't be afraid when we have small quarrels now and then. I'm most afraid of seeing a hag's face, it's scary. How could anyone be so wishful thinking?How can she stop his clingy sex from playing on her?She didn't want to look at him, and looked towards the front of the road with wide eyes. Suddenly, her eyes widened, and the person walking towards her in the distance was Fan Qun?He didn't ask for a long vacation from the school, so how could he appear on the campus at this moment? Fan Qun approached her, only to see a healthy boy standing beside her at some point. Luo Hong, I'll take you home, who is this?He nodded to the boy in greeting. Do not recognize people.She didn't bother to look or say hello, she took a few steps forward, hooked Fan Qun's arm and walked away. The heart, after exactly touching his body temperature, was really at ease, as if the hole that had been hanging for several days had never existed. In the joy of such an unexpected reunion, no idler should intervene between them.There is no place for an irrelevant third person here. It can only be her and him. They found a quiet coffee house for afternoon tea. Fan Qun talked about some interesting things with his parents these days with a smile.He knew that he was too lazy to talk about fluff, but Luo Hong didn't seem to mind that he always used some trivial things to liven up the atmosphere between the two of them.She likes to listen and watch, not talking much does not mean indifference, because there seems to be a smile in her soft eyes. do your parents know meIn the middle of his topic, she still asked, not knowing what answer she wanted, but in his narration, she had participated in his family to some extent.It seemed odd, then, to place herself in the distance, even if she didn't know what answer she was expecting. know, do you mind?After a few days, they can see that there is someone in my heart, so they know you.But they also understand that I'm just unrequited love.He smiled wryly. Unrequited love? She rested her chin and looked at him, unconsciously lost in thought.The perception of him has been changing, he is no longer just a friend, but he refuses to position himself on the level of liking too early.She couldn't figure herself out, but gradually realized that he was gradually indispensable in her life, and even, she would start to be curious about everything about him Your father had great courage and perseverance.She said softly. Fan Qun smiled. The history of pursuing his father will definitely be the most exciting part of the Kawabata family's anecdotes. My mother often said that one of the reasons she got married was because she wanted to say that there would probably not be another man in the world who would do so many stupid things for her. Why don't you do some domineering behavior?She thought of the rapidly developing love affair between Qiu Yanran and Zhao Lingyong, which was often full of sparks but turned into peace. Brother Zhao was absolutely determined by Qiu Yanran, so domineering.And from the inadvertent revelations of classmates, I know that the man's active pursuit is often forced to dominate everything, and the woman only needs to accept the pamper obediently. In contrast, Fan Qun obviously did not inherit his father's demeanor.However, it is indeed difficult to imagine a gentle and refined person displaying domineering behavior. She wasn't sure that she would like that way, but she was also curious about how Fan Qun's gentle and supreme behavior showed an appropriate gesture of pursuit.After seeing many examples, I couldn't help but worry about him even though she was the only person Fan Qun could call his pursuit. Luo Hong, I didn't meet you for pursuit. Is it to give up?She nods.I always thought this man was strange and contradictory, and it was not surprising that he would become what he is today. If I could really give up, I wouldn't let myself go this far, Luo Hong stretched out his hand to cover her hands lying flat on the table, can I pursue you? Isn't he doing it? He saw the question marks in her eyes, and said softly: Differently, at least my behavior would be different.In the past, I didn't dare to be rude to you other than being a friend, but once you agree to my pursuit, I will treat you as my girlfriend red. Then what?She asked with interest, and suddenly felt that his seriousness made her want to play tricks. Fan Qun accepted the challenge from her big shining eyes, and raised an unpredictable and profound smile. Maybe, I would do this. He took her right hand and kissed lightly on the back of her hand.Maybe, I would like this. He took her left hand again, turned it over, and kissed her wrist for the end.Maybe I will capture your red lips, then it must mean that I have pursued you. She believed that her face must be red!This person, this person is flirting with her, and he is not as clumsy as she guessed at all. All this time, he held her hand without any sequelae of blushing and heartbeat. He just felt very relieved and warm. Why? But at this moment, she would feel that his touch was so scorching that she wanted to run away?It was nothing more than two playful kisses. you've changed.she murmured. The heart that loves her is clamoring day by day, how can he not change? He always deceives himself and tells everyone that he has no intention of going further, but his heart never thinks so.Just now, seeing the boy's undoubted pursuit attitude, his heart fluttered tightly. Why is it that others can do it so easily, but he always thinks too much? He couldn't just watch others pursue her, he couldn't watch another man take his place by her side. To make yourself qualified to care, there will be nothing other than becoming a legitimate suitor. When liking for you overwhelms all my thoughts, I can't keep going. So, are we about to start a relationship?Her cheeks were a little hot, and it was difficult for her to remain calm in response to his increasingly frank words. Can I?he asked back. Luo Hong smiled, neither nodding nor shaking his head. I just want to say that his personality is too gentle and clumsy for the sake of others, but he also has a domineering and cunning side. It turns out that plundering is really a man's nature, the only difference is that they express different opinions. May I?May I? The ups and downs of thoughts in the past few days, doesn't it prove that my care has already surpassed that of my friends?She shouldn't have any more hypocritical flinching. Gently nodding his head, pushing the friendship between him and her to the state of love between men and women, it's hard to say what the future will be, so why worry about gains and losses at this moment?Anyway, they met and got acquainted. In Fan Qun's ecstatic expression, her heart also soared. When I opened the gates of affection for you, It is a love that cannot be taken back. Love made us understand each other, Marriage is the end At least that's what fairy tales always tell us. Your smile is my happiness, Your sorrow is my pain. Unexpected suitors make me jealous, Let the true heart be shackled by purgatory. Loving you makes me look like a fool, And this fool still insists I love you.
