I had a terrible dream. Dreams of being chased by scary sounds.There was a slight smile in his voice.I know, that voice knows all my actions.No matter where I fled, the voice was always in pursuit, and it even felt like it was breathing on top of my head, trying to grab my shoulders.I was too scared to look back.Heart palpitations that burst through the chest.It seemed to be grabbed at any moment, but the voice didn't grab me after all. I woke up and stared at the ceiling for a while.The room was filled with darkness.He heard Ma Wu's regular breathing beside him. nasty dream.Even though he woke up, there were still fresh sensations left in his body.

never mind.I relax my limbs and cover my face with my hands.Stretch your toes and feel for the cold part of the sheet.never mind.It was just a dream. I got out of bed and tucked my feet into red satin shoes embroidered with beads.too small!Ma Wu always likes to tease my feet.Almost like a doll's feet.He also said that no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a real person's foot.Ma Wu likes my feet, though.Red satin embroidered shoes were also a gift from him. The embroidered shoes do not make footsteps when walking, and are very light.I walked out of the bedroom to the kitchen and sat on a black steel chair.In the kitchen, I feel at peace instead.Everything in its place, spotless kitchen.The cleaners come once a week, and even the windows are wiped clean.

The microwave's digital clock reads 2:8 in the morning.silence.I looked down at my feet and the floor marbling.Simple as a child. Back on the bed, Ma Wu woke up. sunflower? Where did you go?he asked sleepily.Turning over, the huge body is facing me. Didn't go anywhere!I said, getting into Ma Wu's outstretched arms.warm place.Sorry to wake you up?I'm just thirsty to drink water! I buried my face in Ma Wu's chest.The soft feel of pajamas and the warmth and smell of your skin.Ma Wu snored again, and I didn't move.After waiting for two full minutes, he broke out of Ma Wu's embrace.

One of the things I don't like about the city is the noise of the restaurants in the afternoon.The sound of talking in the room, the cakes on the tray, the sharp movements of the waiters, the smell of cigarettes. My mom wants to see you so much!Daniela said.Brown eyes, curly hair of the same color.Of course, my dad and my brother also think that we won't see your people at all recently. I'm sorry, but Angela's business has been overwhelmed. I said, drinking coffee from a small cup.Ma Wu described the coffee as strong and bitter as mud. lie!Daniela poured a whole packet of sugar into the coffee and stirred it with a spoon.It's been that way since before Angela came.

I can't respond to the voice that pretends not to care, but is actually hurt.Daniela has a healthy body and long legs, and is particularly slender and soft below the knees. She also has a beautiful narrow face that is out of proportion to the plumpness of her upper body. How long will she live?Daniela asked in a different tone, unable to bear the silence. Well!I just smile. Angela is Ma Wu's older sister.Divorced, came to Milan a month ago.Ma Wu said that it was a normal sad trip, but she has never shown any signs of returning to China.However, more than half of the month was spent in Rome and Venice.

You should ask Ma Wu.Daniela said. Because of her plump upper body and elegant demeanor, she looks younger than her actual age, pure and immature.Straightforward personality and unfavorable smile. Why?I wonder, why ask? Daniela rolled her eyes and leaned forward, the golden necklace pendant almost fell into the coffee cup. What if she lives like this forever?Besides, you can't plan vacations like this. I shrugged.In the sense of being a Mawu eater, I am like Angela. Lived with Ma Wu for exactly one year.After he saw me in the store for the first time, he asked me out again and again.Shop refers to the jewelry store where I work.Now it is a part-time job three days a week, then it was a full-time job.Wealthy Americans.At first, I just thought so.A burly man who always smells like he just took a shower.

What do you think? After seeing a few products, Ma Wu must finally ask this question.Thirty-eight, single, from Pennsylvania.Ma Wu, who imports wine (his wish was to be a teacher when he was a child), is always ready to speak in the eyes of the other party, and he is full of wit.That's a tact the Italians don't have.I have no reason to keep refusing him to invite me to dinner. In fact, dating is always a joy.Ma Wu's intelligence reassures me.Not long after, he called me baby and lived together. You don't want to disappoint my mom!Daniela said. how?I'm going to see her these two days.

After I answered, I drank the rest of my coffee. The restaurant is sunny outside.After breaking up with Daniela, who said she was going to do some shopping at Brera, I headed to the library with eight books to return in the car. Go back to the apartment and put hot water in the bathtub.In this high-end apartment, which is the opposite of the old-fashioned appearance, with perfect temperature control, to be honest, super perfect, warm in winter and cool in summer, and elegantly furnished with classic furniture, the bathroom is my favorite.Compared with other rooms, the decoration of the bathroom is very plain. When you open the window, you can see the back alley with willow trees on the side of the road through the small balcony.Although the laneway is narrow, there are still cars parked on both sides.

I like to shower at dusk.There is still time of brightness in the air.On Wednesday and Friday afternoons when I’m not working, I’m mostly in the bathroom before preparing dinner.I also went to the gym he used to go to with Ma Wu.But taking a bath is different from going to the gym, it is so inactive. Putting on a white cotton sweater and jeans, and reading a book in the kitchen, Ma Wu came back. I'm back!He kissed me on the cheek, working hard again? Not working hard!Just read novels! I show the covers of books borrowed from the library.The smell of vegetable soup was wafting in the kitchen, and I knew that Ma Wu was very satisfied.

The next day was Thursday, and went downtown to watch a movie after get off work.It's an Australian movie.Me, Ma Wu, Daniela and her boyfriend Luca.We often watch movies on Thursday nights.Although the movie theater was crowded, Daniela and Luca felt better.The movie theater that is said to be empty looks deserted and lonely, not happy at all.Moreover, Daniela said that it is also the weekend, and after Friday, I still like to go for a walk in the suburbs.Ma Wu and I don't understand each other.Both of us like to relax in the old place.On Saturday, Ma Wu must go to the gym, and I sleep until noon.

In any case, people here probably think like Daniela, so the Thursday night movie theater is very lively (the chaos in the lobby almost put Ma Wu and I back). Novice is also fully booked.This is Ma Wu's favorite restaurant, as long as he makes a phone call, he will reserve a table by the window for us. The heroine is so beautiful!Daniela said. What a weird ending!Luca said.Luca was tall and thin, he didn't eat much, but drank a lot.He believes that red wine is good for the body. During the day, Angela called my office.Ma Wu forked the vegetable salad on my plate, and she said she would be back the day after tomorrow. oh!I smiled, how about Rome? It seems that I like it very much. I take a walk along the Tiber River every day. In my eyes, Angela, with her hair tied up casually, with a few strands of hair thinned out at her temples, wearing sunglasses, and strolling the streets of Rome with a map in her hand, appeared in my eyes.She was wearing a layered shirt, looking out from one specialty store to another. How long is she going to live here? Daniela asked.That tone could not be called questioning, but it contained considerable will, just like her sense of justice. I don't know at all.Ma Wu said indifferently. I look out the window.Under the illumination of the street lamps, the green of the street trees is even deeper. The one I watched last time was more interesting.Luca said suddenly. The one from last time, the one in the mental hospital?There are wrinkles on the bridge of Daniela's nose, with an expression of disbelief, I know, you just don't like this director, probably.Hurt tone. Luca put his arm around Daniela's shoulder with a wry smile.I eat salad with a fork. Back home, Ma Wu put water in the bathtub. Bath salts? don't want. He massaged my neck before filling it with water.Sit on the edge of the bathtub. I can't help it with Italian. Already very good! When we were still friends, Ma Wu was indeed a little silent. Much better than Daniela's English! Ma Wu stopped his hands and stared at my face.The expression is regret. That's all my Italian?Is it just a cadence of words and no grammar? I couldn't help laughing. of course not. Good! After Ma Wu finished speaking in a low voice, he started again. Ma Wu is good at massage.From the neck, shoulders, back to the top of the head.I was careful not to slip off Ma Wu's lap, and kept my eyes closed.The sound of hot water pouring into the bathtub can be heard from behind. so comfortable.I said ecstatically. During the massage, the body gradually relaxes.The smell of steam, the hazy mirror. Sorry about Angela, Daniela meant no harm. I know.Ma Wu said. Ma Wu's hands are huge, covering my entire forehead.The comfortable pressure on the temple, the sound of the watch. Thanks. I got up and turned off the hot water.There was a sudden silence all around. Shall we wash together? I always feel that it’s okay not to say that, but I don’t really want to do it.Ma Wu smiled. No, leave me alone, just go clubbing slowly! I whispered thank you again. You're welcome.Ma Wu said, kissing my forehead. Everyone, although it is everyone, except for Ma Wu, everyone except Ma Wu knows that I am not easy to get along with.Daniela once said that. You have changed. In winter, I sit on the tram.Remember Daniela's black leather gloves clutching a bag of roasted chestnuts. become difficult to get close to. I look out the window.The sky was overcast, as if it was about to rain and sleet, and the tram rattled through the Via Torino. Did you hear that? Daniela has been my best friend since the age of six and was my first primary school classmate. When you said that you were going to Japan to study in university, it would be fine if I objected. Every Wednesday after school, we have ballet class together.Daniela's backpack, black tights, freckles on the nose.I later transferred to another school, and Daniela and I have remained close friends.Because the two mothers have a good relationship, we often stay at each other's homes. Four years!I spread my legs slightly to match the sway of the tram, and looked out the window.After four years, anyone changes a bit, right? Daniela said nothing. Stripping off my clothes and putting my hair up on top of my head, I sink into the tub.Through the transparent warm water, my skin slowly swayed. The jewelry store is a bit far from the city center.A corner of the residential area on the west side of San Pioneer Park.Less than ten minutes walk from the apartment.A small shop run by two older sisters, Gina and Paula.However, the store has recently been taken over by Gina's son, so the atmosphere in the store has changed a little.He started selling some original designer jewelry (slowly popular with customers, opening a second store in the summer).The store was originally an antique jewelry store.Gina and Paula have a sizable collection of antique jewelry.Every piece of jewelry evokes a story.Older sisters say that ornaments are symbols of a loved woman's life.I think of Federica. Paula's grandson Albert designs and makes jewelry in a workshop behind the store.Albert is an innocent young man with fair skin and a little naive.The success of original jewelry depends on his inspiration and technology. I work here as a shop assistant three days a week.I started working half a year after returning to Milan, and it has been three years.I don't wear jewelry myself and have only ever bought one item from the store.A simple ring with blue emeralds and small pearls, I like it at first glance.Like something from the 1920s.Very suitable for you!Gina said. You hit it off with the old lady. After Ma Wu finished speaking, he smiled, maybe that was the case. There is a two-hour lunch break, and most of them will go back to the apartment first.Sometimes I make an appointment with Ma Wu to have dinner together.Sometimes I eat sandwiches in the park. After dinner, while washing the dishes, Ma Wu buried his nose in my hair.I can't stand him hugging me from behind like this.Ask him to let me wash with peace of mind.Ma Wu bit my earlobe, making me unable to wash the dishes. be honest! I said it, but Ma Wu didn't listen. Wash the dishes later! We go to the bedroom. Japanese paper lampshades were specially ordered by Ma Wu, casting soft light across the room.Tranquil lights.Ma Wu is very organized.I love Ma Wu's calf.Clean and firm muscles.We caress each other gently.Ma Wu kept biting my toes tenderly, like a bear with honey.I close my eyes and feel like sand on the beach. I put the rinsed dishes in the dishwasher, wipe down the table, and finally the sink, where I sit on the chair.The digital clock on the microwave reads 0:59 in the morning.Having sex with Ma Wu is like happiness.There is no reason to be dissatisfied. Sleep until noon on Saturday. When he woke up, Ma Wu had already gone to the gym.I drank coffee and read a book with pillows on the sofa to pass the time. Milan is quite bright in May.Of course, it is not compared with other cities, but compared with other months.Autumn to winter is really long. After getting used to the cold day after day, the sudden visit of May is always astonishingly bright.Mom loves early summer in Milan. Angela came back with two large bags filled with wallets, manuals, and mineral water in the coach bag, just when the sun was weakening. Hi! honey! She banged open the door with her purse and smiled.Layered shirts, neckline sunglasses. I'm home! We kiss each other on the cheek. What about Ma Wu? After Angela moved her luggage into the guest room, she returned to the living room to drink tea. Gym.He said he had some work to do and went straight to the office. oh! call him? Angela is beautiful.A little thin, but as energetic as a wild deer. No, no, thank you. Angela sat on the sofa with one leg bent, sipping black tea very easily.Pantyhose wrapping thin legs, and a peach-colored cotton sweater wrapped around the waist. How is Rome? Half of her hair reflected the slanting sunlight outside the window, Angela looked into the black tea cup and said quietly: "Great!"Have you been there? Well, several times. When I was young, my parents often took me on trips. When was the last time you went? For the first time, I found that Angela's eyes resembled Ma Wu's.Deep brown eyes. ten years ago?I went with my best friends in high school. Angela nodded. Rome must still be the same as it was then! I raised my gaze, and Angela said before I could ask: the passage of time is terribly slow!Horrible is a strong word. Italy is a very interesting country. Then we drank tea in silence.They were probably thinking about completely unrelated things. When Ma Wu came back, it was past eight o'clock. welcome back!Angela, looks so happy! Even after a busy day of working overtime during the holiday, Ma Wu still maintained his demeanor. I'm back, Aoi! He gave me a hearty kiss that was distinctly different from kissing Angela. After a simple dinner, the three of them went to the bar together.It was Angela who wanted to go.It's rare for Ma Wu and I to do this.how?Is this an ivory tower?Angela raised her eyebrows and said. The second week was a rainy day. Looking at the rainy street scene through the glass window. You can read a book when there are no guests.Paula, who comes to the store once a day, said. The rain kept falling.Not too big, the air is entangled with never-ending rain, like the rain that seals the whole world.Rain silences me.I always think of things I don't want to think of. In the morning, except for an old customer who came to the door, there were no other customers who looked like customers. It's so cold!said Paula. On a rainy day, the smell of the workshop is stronger than usual.It's like a medicine, and it's like a freshly painted white wall exuding a cool nostalgic smell. When the weather is bad, the mood is bad, and Gina is not happy, so troublesome! A woman with a dog walks past the window.The dog is wearing a raincoat.Gina, who is in her seventies, rarely comes to the store. Is she okay?Haven't seen her for a long time.I asked. Paula smiled, she was fine, and she went to the beauty salon once a week. The rain continued. One of Ma Wu's strengths is that he is never late for an appointment.That Jijia also parked in front of the store on time at 7:30 when it closed today.Even for casual appointments. Ma Wu who walks into the store brings the smell of rain and fresh air outside. punctual! There was a smile in his voice.Ma Wu's tone was steady and clear.At noon, I called his office and asked you to pick me up. Sorry to ask you to come here in particular. Sit in the front seat, I said apologetically.It's only a ten minute walk away. Why?Ma Wu said excitedly.I like rain. The chassis of Ma Wu's car is very low, and the feet are wide, which makes him feel very close to the ground and very comfortable. Because my baby will act like a baby when it rains. Take a ride, will you?Ma Wu asked.I nodded immediately, I like driving on rainy nights best. We drove on the highway for about thirty minutes, dripping and splashing on the windshield. Angela will be worried! It doesn't matter, Ma Wu's voice was unshakable, suddenly disturbing my sad desire. Ma Wu, thank you for coming to pick me up.I said. You're welcome. I looked straight ahead, pretending to admire the rain.
