A Noble Marriage - Chapter 64

In the morning, the sunshine of the inquiry came down.

It rained all night in the middle of the night yesterday. When it was just dawning, the rain stopped.

Anna got up carefully from the quilt. She had intended to get up, but when she caught a glimpse of Karenin’s sleeping face, she fell down again.

She held her breath gently, pressed her elbows on the mattress, and looked at each other for a moment with her hands on her cheeks.

She saw the morning light shining through the gauze curtain on the bridge of Karenin’s nose, leaving a mottled mark. So I feel a little itchy.

“May I kiss you?” She asked in a low voice, then, making sure that the other person was asleep, she pursed her mouth, held her breath, dropped a kiss on the corner of Karenin’s mouth, and then left contentedly.

Anna finished dressing, changed to a earth color skirt, wearing a pair of semi-old sheepskin shoes. As she walked out of the door, she met Alexei. The boy was holding a book about a finger thick and a roll of parchment that looked old.

“Are you going out?” Alexei asked, approaching Anna.

“Yes. And you, Alexei Anna asked curiously.

“I always wake up early.” Alexei seemed a little cramped. He would not walk out of the bedroom door even if he woke up early at home. He was used to staying in his room, but in fact, he preferred open space and reading books in the early morning when there was no one to disturb him. It’s just that he knows he’s not allowed. But now, he can.

“I like it here. The garden is very nice and very pleasant.” He had a slightly shy smile.

Anna smiles. “You have a good habit. Alexei also often said that reading is a good habit, which can benefit you a lot. ”

Anna’s words brightened Alexei’s eyes. Obviously, being affirmed always makes people happy, and the deeper reason is that Anna knew Alexei had some respect for Karenin.

Her husband was affirmed and Anna, as a wife, was naturally very happy, so she asked, “do you want to go with me?”

“I know there are some good things in the forest on the west side of here.” She blinked. She looked mysterious.

“Do you mean mushrooms?” Alexei said tentatively.

Anna laughed. “I can’t hide it from you, can’t it?”

Alec Xie’s white face showed a faint blush, but he didn’t say anything, just a shy smile.

It’s a good phenomenon, Anna knows. This shows that Alexei’s heart has gradually opened.

“Do you want to come?” Invite her again.

“If I can.” Alexei said with a smile.

“I can’t think of why to turn down a helper. I’m not asking you to play, I’m going to help me. Do you need to know about lunch? ” Anna said with a smile that she deliberately emphasized.

“I’ll do it.” Alexei replied.

On the way to the forest, the blonde insisted that he come to get the basket, even if it was really weightless.

“You will be a good example. Andre and Charlie can learn a lot from you Anna praised.

Alexei shook his head gently. “I learned a lot from them.”

Anna was happy: “influence and learn from each other, as long as it’s not bad.” She thought about it and added, “sometimes I hope you can learn from their shortcomings and use the common people’s ideas. It will make you less nervous and happier.”

“Ordinary people?” Alexei asked.

Anna sipped her hair and said with a smile, “yes, ordinary people, the most common idea. Tell you, you are just a child, you can want to play, you can act like a coquette

“But,” Alexei hesitated, but said firmly, “you have a different idea, don’t you?”

“Well, I don’t know if that’s right, but since you ask, Alexei, I’m happy to tell you. Because I know you’re more than just a child. Since you have an adult mind, I can’t ask you to be like Andre and Charlie

Anna thought for a moment and then said, “your soul and your mind are * *. You are far more intelligent than those two children. If I ask you to immediately deviate from your most authentic character, just to cater to us, that would be too much for you

“You have the right to be happy, and no one can deny it, dear Alexei. However, we should also face up to one point, my aunt, and cousins, that is, your father, they are likely not to give you too much help on the way after you Anna pointed out that her eyes were carefully looking at the teenager in front of her.

The latter was silent for a moment and then quietly replied, “I understand.”

“Yes, you understand.” Anna looked at the teenager with a soft gaze and said, “so, I can’t tell you, just enjoy life carefree. If you’re not such a smart kid, if your life can satisfy you now, I’ll tell you you don’t have to worry about anything. “”You deserve a better future, Alexei. And all this, we can’t direct to you, also need you to work hard. ”

“I never…”

“I know.” Anna gently interrupts, “I know you, not so much, but I know. I know your excellence, your modesty. What I do is not because you are my nephew, but because you are you

“Because you are not an ordinary child, I want to tell you that we can’t choose which way to be born, but we can choose in the future.”

“Some people take a long, long time, some people can get there quickly.” At this point, Anna laughed. “And I believe you are the latter, because you and my husband are so similar.”

Seeing the boy’s surprise, Anna’s cheeks were a little red. She pursed her hair to the back of her ear and said, “his success is not just his name, Alexei.”

“I know.” Alexei said firmly.

“Yes, you know. Therefore, I believe that in the future, you will become a better person than him, and your future will be more expectant. ”

Anna patted the boy on the shoulder, giving him a trusting look.

“You will create a world of your own, and we all believe that, Alexei.”

Alexei looked at each other, passing through Anna’s same gray eyes, and then, with a slow smile.

After that, in the forest, Alexei saw the rainbow. Under the stream and the sun, the water splashed through the air, and a warm color stayed in his heart forever. In the following days, it became the source and power of his confidence.

When they gathered a lot of mushrooms and came back from the forest, Anna saw Karenin in the distance on the path near home.

“Alexis!” Cried Anna.

After hearing the voice, Karenin saw them. Anna quickened her pace and walked towards her.

Good day, uncle Karenin Alexei said hello, Karenin responded to him, his eyes on the youth for a moment.

Alexei, holding the basket, said he would go back first and leave space for the couple.

When the boy was far away, Karenin asked, “have you made an appointment?”

“Not really.” Anna took Karenin’s arm, and then said what had happened.

“I thought you would ask him the same as Andrea.” Karenin said.

Anna shook her head. “It’s not the same. He looks like you

“Alexei is different from Andre and Charlie. No matter what the latter does, they will be protected by the family. Their parents will help him as much as possible, so they can make mistakes, but Alexei is not the same

“If he is not strong, if he doesn’t fight for it, he will miss a lot. I don’t want to see these regrets happen to him, it will make me sad

Karenin looked at his wife quietly, until her voice became less and less audible.

He knew that Anna’s heart was heavy and emotional when it was like this, so he said, “you’re right, Anna.”

“In fact, I was a little surprised that you would think about it. Because you’ve been spoiling them all the time

After listening to Karenin’s comment, Anna laughed.

“I feel like I’m going to be a good mother, just as I’m sure you’ll be a good father. So at least from now on, you don’t have to worry that I’ll spoil our children too much. ”

“I fully believe it and never doubted it, Anna.”

“And soon, time will tell.” Karenin said calmly.

Anna blushed a little when he said “soon,” but she answered in a faint, inaudible voice, and then walked completely, holding her husband’s arm.

She believed that too, and in the near future, after he said that request to her, time will verify this sentence.

Spring breeze from Anna’s cheek, with the unique fragrance of Jasminum nudiflorum.

After the rain, the soil was moist and slightly moist.

On this trail, Anna felt the long quiet mood of the years until her husband suddenly said, “in fact, there is one thing I think I should tell you.”

“What?” Anna asked, her voice still relaxed, even her eyes soft.

Karenin did not stop, but walked and said, “in the future, if you want to do something to me, Anna, you don’t need to ask for my request first.”

“Yes?” Anna did not respond until Karenin hesitated.

“In fact, I woke up before you this morning.”

So, did he know I stole kisses when he was asleep? Anna said in her heart, then stopped, blushing and drooping her eyes.God, she’s not sure whether to push her husband into the ditch or hide herself in the Bush to cover up the stupid things she’d done before!

Then she felt Karenin’s hand touch her cheek and gently lift her chin.

“So can I, too?” He inquired.

At this point, even if Anna is stupid, she knows how to answer. She blushed and nodded, thinking: maybe they are really the strangest couple in the world.

But it really doesn’t matter at all.

The breeze, the fragrance of flowers, the wet land, and the gentle kiss from her husband are the sweetest reasons for Anna to love here. ( )
