Chapter 42 That Awkward Kiss (3)
Party greeting.
"How sad she must be. I treated her like that." He was annoyed and helpless in his heart. After being caught up in his own emotions, Levin had no energy to pay attention to Nastya, which made the little girl very dissatisfied.
Dinner was today's prey. The cook in Sviazhsky's family was very good at handling these wild game, and every dish was very delicate and delicious. As for Seryozha's little rabbit, he was given preferential treatment and nestled in its new Snooze in a nest with soft hay and good food.
After taking a bath, Seryozha had already fallen asleep. Anna put down her book and looked up at the man who was wiping his hair with a large towel, and whispered, "Come here, Alexey."
After the man sat by the bed, she took the towel and began to gently wipe his hair.
"In a good mood?" Karenin said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
The movement of her hands paused, and Anna blinked and said, "Thank you, Alexey."
"You have already said it," Karenin pointed out.
"But I want to tell you, I'm happy, very happy, Alexey."
The wrist was gently grasped, she looked down at him, her sky blue eyes looked at him, as if confirming.
"Happy like that?"
She nodded, her cheeks were a little red, but she still smiled and said, "Happy."
The sky blue eyes stared at the other party. When she said this, the woman's eyes were shining like jewels, and her moist lips had a beautiful curvature.The big hand holding the opponent's wrist began to change direction. Karenin gently pinched the opponent's chin and kissed him.
A man's kiss always seems to have a gentleman's feeling. His lips are slightly thin, but the shape of his lips is beautiful. When kissing, he is always considerate, and the strength of his fingers is gentle enough.
"Hiss..." She yelled softly, her lower lip was bitten, those clear eyes seemed to be accusing her of not being distracted, this matter couldn't continue, because of the other's expression, she couldn't help it Laughing, hugged the man before he could say anything.
"Alexey, you are so cute." She suppressed a smile and said, feeling the other person's muscles stiffen, and now she couldn't help it.
Karenin hugged Anna with a bit of depression. He really couldn't understand how the words that Anna often used to describe Seryozha could be applied to him.
The next day, in a bad mood, Levin took the Karenins back to his farm.As soon as I arrived at the door of the house, I saw a carriage, not the kind of large carriage that is convenient for consigning goods, but a small and exquisite carriage covered with iron sheets and leather. Even the strong neck of the leading stallion was covered with a wide belt. Looks in good spirits.
The coachman was turning his head to answer the question, and the sweet voice flowed out from inside, like a trickle flowing into Levin's heart, it was Kitty!The man's clear eyes were lit up at once, his chest was pumping, urging him to move forward, he didn't hold back, he jumped off the carriage with the belt in his right hand and ran there.
Kitty was talking to the coachman, and asked if she saw anyone coming back, but before she finished speaking, she heard some movement, she boldly lifted the curtain of the car, a smile appeared on her clean face, she waved her hand call.
"You're back!"
Levin stood panting beside the carriage. Panting heavily, he subconsciously raised his snakeskin bag, but put it down again, blushing, and finally choked out a completely meaningless sentence.
"coming?"
But Goldilocks didn't mind, she was so eager to see each other.
"I'm here." She said, her cheeks were flushed, her pale eyes were shining, she looked at him, and sighed in her heart, has he always been such a lovely person?Look at how shy he looks, how strong his tightly clenched thumbs look, and his height, has he always been this tall?How hadn't I noticed before, how cute is the way he talks!She sighed, completely unaware of how charming her expression was.
Levin felt that he could completely forgive everything at this moment. He really liked this girl and loved him with all his life. She was not the most beautiful, but he just liked her voice, her lips slightly when she spoke. The way she turned up, her eyes that were always shy and full of trust, how could he forget her, no matter how beautiful a woman is, she can't take her place in his heart.
"What happened?" Anna asked, seeing Levin jump out of the car in a hurry.
Karenin opened the curtain and looked at it, with a smile on his lips, "Konstantin Dmitrich's little girl is here."
"Oh, is Kitty here?" Anna blinked her eyes, leaned forward slightly, and was now very close to her, but she didn't pay attention, and put all her body and mind on that. On people who like each other.
Karenin glanced down, smiled and put his arms around the other's shoulders, and when the latter realized it, he let go of it gently, only keeping the woman's flushed face in his heart, and from time to time in the days to come Turn it out and smile.
"Oh, Alexei." Anna cried out in annoyance, and couldn't help laughing when she heard the other party's chuckle. She leaned on the other party, put her arms around the sleeping boy and smiled sweetly.
After the carriage stopped, Anna was going to wake up Seryozha, but was stopped by Karenin. Anna looked up at him, and the latter calmly stretched out his hand and hugged the boy in his arms.
"Let me hug him, he's tired all the way."
"Well, I'll wrap the blanket tightly for him so that he doesn't freeze his head." Anna smiled, wrapped the blanket tightly around the boy, and put a hat on the boy, wrapping it tightly like a boy. Bulky lumps.
Xiaotuanzi was woken up a little bit, moved his body but refused to open his eyes.
"Sleep, baby, Dad will take you home." Anna comforted the boy and patted his back.
"Go to sleep, Seryozha." The man's steady voice made Xiaotuanzi finally quiet. He rubbed his father's scarf, his mouth slightly tilted up, as if he was having a good dream. In the dream, there were two of his favorites. personal.
Kitty was enjoying the atmosphere, but the neighing of the horse woke them up, and her face turned red, especially when she saw Anna and the others, oh, how embarrassing, she felt cried in a low voice.
"Kitty, is Darcy coming?"
"He is talking to farmers in the farmland not far away."
Hearing Anna's voice, Levin seemed to come back to his senses. He blushed like a child, and he didn't seem to know how to put his hands and feet. Later, he saw Karenin in his arms. The old Seryozha finally found a job, he took Karenin in, and told the coachman to take care of the next thing.
Seeing Karenin and the others going back to the house, Anna went up to ask Kitty again, the blond girl nodded, and she told Anna with her eyes that they would talk about it later.
Darcy came in at the back, and his round face looked very excited, chattering about everything he had seen.
"Oh, Darcy, it's time for you to take a break. Come on, have some tea." Anna said with a smile, and poured a cup of black tea for the man, and the others followed suit.
"Anna, you don't know how excited I am. I've wanted to see it for a long time, but I haven't had time. You know, the little boy from your brother's family has to watch it again."
"Is Nicholas all right? How is your recovery?" Anna asked.
"Don't worry, I'm fine, my appetite has recovered, and my face is still so pretty." Darcy said cheerfully.
"That's good." Anna was relieved, and Kitty next to her also looked away from Darcy, and inadvertently glanced at Levin, her face flushed, she took a sip from her teacup, but it didn't really taste like Neither tasted it.
Darcy talked to Karenin for a while, but he disliked what the other party said was meaningless, so he started chatting with Levin again, not paying any attention to the fact that the two didn't know each other well at all.But fortunately, Levin's mind is not here either, so he will be a good listener, because Darcy hardly needs him to intervene, he just needs to seriously distract himself and keep silent.
Anna shook her head, her eyes fell on Karenin next to her, and found that he was also drinking black tea, but after taking the first sip, her brows frowned slightly.
"What's wrong?" she asked softly.
"You forgot, I don't add sugar."
There was a "thump" in her heart, she let out an apologetic smile, "I'm sorry, there may be too many things, I'll pour another glass."
Karenin didn't care either, and handed the cup of black tea that he had taken a sip to Anna. The latter made a new cup, and he drank it slowly when he was ready to drink.
Although Karenin didn't care, Anna did. She felt that there must have been a cold sweat just now, and she made up her mind to be more careful, but she also had some thoughts in her heart, and some things were not the same after all.
Before the black tea was finished, the housekeeper came to announce that Levin's brother had arrived. Levin had two brothers, one was a sibling of the same mother, and the other was a half-brother. These two brothers were quite different brothers. , One has a successful career and an optimistic attitude, and the other is still wandering aimlessly even now.
Anna looked at him. He was a beautiful man with a slender figure, a charming beard, and a pair of eyes that always shone brightly. He was a well-known romantic writer by profession, and he rarely had any romantic affairs.
Koznyshev's coming to his brother's house was an idea that popped into his head. Of course, Levin was used to it, so he was only slightly surprised when he saw his brother's guests, but soon laughed again. Get up, say hello with a calm demeanor, and introduce yourself.
Levin was a little happy and a little worried about the arrival of his brother. On the one hand, his parents had both passed away, so there were only two older brothers in his family. He is naturally happy to have his family, but now he is thinking about something with Kitty, and Koznyshev definitely has the ability to mess things up.
"Oh, my dear Kosga, why do you look at me with such a complicated expression? I'll still make you mess up." The man said with a smile, and gave Levin a warm hug.
"Of course I am, Sergey," muttered Levin.
"Look, my younger brother Koska is just too shy sometimes." Koznyshev said triumphantly, as if he didn't take other people's concerns into consideration at all.
Anna wanted to laugh a little, thinking that everything this man showed was very funny, should he be said to be conceited or too straightforward.
"Koska, I just heard from Gu Shima that you went hunting a while ago, did you gain anything?"
"Well, yes, I'll let you taste it at noon." He was a little happy when he said that he was hunting Levin, and he even raised his eyebrows. This expression made Kitty look at him in surprise, and Levin quickly realized Kitty's He blushed again.
Although Koznishev was a bit nervous, he was a writer anyway, so he naturally had a keen sense of these romantic feelings. He raised the corners of his lips, and turned his eyes to Levin and the blonde girl. There is a plan to bring these two together, but he needs an assistant.
This tall man, exclude, this kind of person is a bit too serious, romance is a bit too much on them, this round-faced man, you can think about it, but he is a bit old, this lady, oh of course, it is her Yes, women are always better at communicating, in terms of romance.
Koznyshev, self-satisfied, drew Anna and Darcy to his side, ready to carry out his plan, which he had never thought of, because this wonderful idea, presumptuously, the man's eyes were on Anna's. The time was a little bright, but before he started to say anything, Karenin choked his mind.
"Anna, go check on our son in the room, he may be awake." Karenin said this a little suddenly, but no one suspected anything, except Anna, but she didn't say anything, just responded.
"Ok."
Seeing Anna going up the stairs, Karenin looked away in satisfaction. The man in front of him seemed a little frustrated. He smirked and took the initiative to talk to Koznishev.
"I heard that you are a writer, but I don't know what you are writing recently."
These words caught his interest, and Koznyshev quickly put aside the illusory plan. He began to tell Karenin enthusiastically that he was preparing to write a novel related to the pastoral, but Karenin actually Not very interested in these, but he showed a good posture of listening and speaking less, but cleverly added some words to let the other party continue, such as then, oh, so, what's next .
But Darcy was very interested, and his eyes began to sparkle. In the end, only the two of them could be heard in the living room. Karenin was smiling and drinking black tea. Although it was not very interesting, he collected more Some information never hurts.
Seeing that those three people seemed to be completely immersed in their own world, Levin couldn't sit still because he and Kitty had nothing to do. It's a good chance he has to say something.
Kitty had been carefully holding her teacup and looking at Levin from time to time, but his sudden movement of standing up startled her.
"He's coming," her heart told her, beating like a little rabbit.
"Let's go and sit over there, if you want." He offered the invitation, and even the sideburns couldn't hide his flushed face.
Kitty responded softly, and at the same time sighed in her heart, what a lovely and straightforward person he is.
They did not go too far from the living room, but reached a small balcony, where there was a small round table and a chair, and Levin added another one.
"I write here sometimes," he explained.
Goldilocks looked up and smiled as her beautiful fingertips brushed the parchment and quill. "Are you still writing that book?"
He thought the other party was making fun of her speed, so his face flushed fiercely again, and he didn't speak.
Kitty didn't understand that her words had misunderstood the man, but her next sentence resolved the misunderstanding.
"I've always thought you'd write a great book, Konstantin Dmitrich, and I totally agree with what you've said to me." She paused, then smiled a little shyly. .
"Although I don't understand some of them, but when I saw what you said, I imagined it in my mind, and then I thought it was, that's it, you're right, this feeling."
Her honest admiration made Levin feel very happy, he grinned, and the two of them sat down in a chair and chatted about some issues easily, she sometimes held her face in her hands, and sometimes looked carefully at it with her beautiful eyes. He, Levin felt that his heart was covered with something warm all the time, it was very comfortable, and he confirmed in his heart once again that he loved this girl, and he could not love anyone else.
These emotions made him come up with an ingenious way, which would not be too direct, but would save him some face. He picked up the quill and sketched some letters on the parchment.
Kitty put her hands on the round table, she turned her head slightly to look at the letters slowly appearing under the man's hands, her slender eyebrows were furrowed, she bit her lips, raised her face and looked at him apologetically, this action made Levin's heart tightened.
"Will she reject me again?" He felt as if he was instantly bound by a big rock, and then fell into a bottomless abyss. He quickly imagined in his mind, but Kitty's words saved him , oh no, it's not words, it's the same, the letters written on the parchment, only more beautiful.
"When you answered me 'impossible' last time, did you mean then or forever?"
"I can't lie to you, ever, but I have to tell you something, it's not true."
She put down her pen, bit her lips and looked at him, her eyes were apologetic and shy, she was sad and remorseful for her hasty decision, but things could not be done again, so she could only express her thoughts honestly Tell the other person that she does not have the right to make decisions, and that no matter what the other person decides, she feels that she should accept it.
Levin opened his eyes wide with excitement, and he almost jumped up again, but he held back, put his hands on his knees, looked at the woman with those innocent eyes, and asked her with a hint of caution.
"Just then?"
"Yes." She smiled, her eyes wet.
"So," he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, suspecting that the voice was surprisingly loud, "and now?" The last few words almost passed between his lips and teeth, and the little one couldn't hear it at all if he didn't pay attention, but Kitty heard it , her lips trembled slightly, and she pinched her hands, and the small finger bones were clearly visible.
"Now, I just want to tell you that I hope, yes, this is too unreserved, but I want to tell you honestly, I hope in my heart." After finishing speaking, she bit her lip again, but her eyes did not escape , even her face was completely red.
If the world were to be destroyed at this moment, Levin would not bat an eye, because all his thoughts were devoted to looking at the girl in front of him, with her soft blond hair, her cheeks thinned by illness, and those always Eyes full of emotion, she is the one he wants, yes, that's right, he grabbed those small hands impulsively, the blonde girl struggled in surprise, but she didn't break free, and then she acquiesced Yes, but the cheeks are flushed.
"You...what are you going to do?" She asked softly, with less forceful doubts and more shyness.
"I..." He was embarrassed and couldn't say anything, but he didn't intend to let go. After a moment of silence, he opened his mouth and said, "If I solemnly propose to you again, will you agree?"
The author has something to say: the hero is a little bit careful, my dear, do you understand`(*∩_∩*)′
Well done, Levin!
