Those bonfires, the crowd sitting around, and the green shade, in Anna's eyes at this moment, all turned into thick background oil paint.
She pulled her husband up and danced like a jolly elf.
The whole world seems to be spinning.
His deep eyebrows, sometimes sharp eyes, his imperfect and overly thin face, and his cold and rigid personality, all of these can't change the fact that Anna loves her husband.
When I was young, girls always let themselves have a dream over and over again. In the dream, there are castles and princes. In the future in the dream, what they imagine is the blue sky and the white house, everything is perfect combination.
Poetry books and gardens, talking at night, so happy that there is no time to sleep. I always thought that this was the perfect life that would belong to me in the future.
However, as we grow up and transform, we begin to understand the meaning of imperfection.
She came here from a convenient era where the world is undergoing great changes every minute, restrained and reckless, and lived carefully. She didn't know her mission and meaning before, but now she knows.
She lacked her parents in her life, after all, God no longer had the heart to continue to deprive her of everything, and gave her a chance to grasp and grow.
Here, she is indeed not so free. She married a high-ranking official and had a good life. At the same time, she had to shoulder the responsibilities brought about by power.
They are all the same.
Other husbands need only respect their wives, but not love them. This is the significance of being well-matched to the combination of powerful and powerful. Love is not a necessity. But the man in front of her gave her such a precious thing. Although he never said anything to her, it didn't matter. There are always some differences between two people, so marriage needs tolerance.
Two imperfect people entered into a marriage. During this long period of time, they tolerated each other, supported each other, and grew up in time. Although they have unusual identities, in each other's eyes, they are not hesitated by the crown of power and power, and they can talk and sympathize with each other without worry or fear. A hug that can give protection and caress, can be weak and be cherished without being reserved, and can go through a lifetime together.
"Alexey." Anna called softly. She raised her head, her neck and sleeves were long, and her profile was as beautiful as a flower.
In this slow dance in the open air, even a cold-tempered person like Karenin couldn't continue to maintain that appearance.
When he answered, it was as if there was a spring breeze at the corner of his mouth.
Of course, this is also because most people have already started dancing, the host and the guests are no longer so restrained, and in the hearts of this special group of guests. When Karenin and Anna have maintained a kind of friendly etiquette, these simple and free people are no longer so restrained.
In Petersburg's high society circles, people's eyes are always fixed on them all the time, and those glamorous banquets are actually a naked intertwining of rights and status. No one can really enjoy dancing, and here, Karenin also had to admit that he realized the joy of dancing for the first time.
He didn't have to tense his body habitually, he didn't have to force himself to show a smirk, he didn't have to use the corner of his eyes to pay attention to the movements of his colleagues, he didn't have to listen to those charming smiles and non-meaty speeches from the weather discussion to the racecourse.
Therefore, in the face of his wife's intimate calling of his name, his response was almost silent in the most relaxed state.
"Although you know, I don't think I told you very clearly." She said a little shyly, her eyes sparkling and eager.
"The oath I made at the wedding was sincere. Now, I want to tell you that I really want to spend this life with you, whether it is prosperity or poverty, whether it is disease or hardship."
"You once praised this sentence in some comments, 'Those who have not experienced have no right to speak', although I am very sure that I love you deeply, but since you think so, I will practice according to what you think. And Now is the time to draw conclusions."
"I'm so glad that my conclusion has not been shaken at all, but has been strengthened."
"You are very good. You are very good to me, not just as your wife, but," she said a little excitedly, although both of them understood, but since Anna can easily say to strangers That word, for her husband, who dotes on her and protects her, she naturally shouldn't be stingy.
"In terms of personality, treat me as an equal to you, not because I am a woman or because of my social status, you respect me just as I respect you."
"I respect you and love you not because you are my husband. If we are not husband and wife, it may not be so deep, but there is anyway, but because we are fortunate to be married, my respect and love for you It's getting deeper and deeper."
"Thank you, Alexey, for making me your wife and for everything you've given me so far."
"Thank you for making me feel so worth it and making me the happiest person in the world!"
Anna's confession was so passionate, even she spoke in a low voice at a volume that could only be heard by two people. But the heat was like a flame, making people feel as if they were being burned.
Certainly not flames. In Karenin's life, poetic embellishments are something he does not approve of. They go against reality and logic, and are purely useless sensibility.
And every time, from these words of his wife, although he could pick out many faults and inappropriate modifications, he always let them just like this, drifting into his ears.
Karenin's uncle once warned him, "If you want to be in a high position, you need not indulge in pleasure."
Nice words are the deadliest thing, making you relax your vigilance, forget your humility, and ignore the dangers, so he doesn't care about these hypocritical flattery. However, at the moment he was willing to be seduced.
Karenin's footsteps stopped, his right hand still maintained the posture of supporting his waist, but his left hand was slowly put down.
His hands are different from the plumpness of most nobles, because his body is thin, and his fingers are stronger than the slender ones of young people. Compared with his colleagues who like to hunt, he has added a quiet temperament of civil servants.
It can be said that they are a pair of very beautiful hands. When wearing a wedding ring, it has a sacred taste.
Her gray eyes kept staring at him. Stare at it like you are fascinated by color. When that hand, the thumb and index finger pulp came to Anna's face, and then stayed at the corner of her mouth to press gently, her heart trembled. Looking up into each other's eyes.
Blue, like the sea in winter, the excessive prestige in the usual days seems to be frozen at this moment, wrapped tightly, and hidden deeply in the eyes. Those long eyelashes always have inadvertently meticulous movements, making the hidden pupils always radiate the light of wisdom.
Now, when they blinked, the eyelids trembled slightly, and the man's expression was like a tight shackle, wrapping Anna tightly.
Karenin leaned forward, he looked so calm, in fact, a little too calm. As if confirming something. The action of pressing the corner of her mouth was already a little bit hard. But soon, as if realizing it, he let go of his hand. Withdrew a finger away and then approached again, gently stroking the corner of her mouth again.
After a while, he lowered his head and kissed Anna, who was a little surprised.
"I received it." He said, his brows and eyes seemed calm, but he clearly added a hint of joy, because he was completely relaxed and trusting.
To trust a politician to let go of his heart is like trusting a tiger to become a gentleman. However, if distrust means losing that one percent chance, Anna will always choose the ninety-nine percent that means danger. Because the man's next words are:
"I never thought dancing made people happy, but now I need to fix that."
Karenin paused for a while, the man who could answer easily anytime and anywhere seemed to be deliberating, Fang Jiu said.
"Yes, it was happy. And I think it's because of you."
After hearing this, Anna raised her smiling face, her eyes were as bright as pearls, she followed the other party's footsteps, and let Karenin lead her to experience the dance steps of this old era, which is not so completely formal. Because no one will stick so close, it seems that there is no distance between soul and soul. It's as if two souls have merged into one because of the same mind at this moment.
She said thank you to her husband tonight, letting him know that she loved him so deeply and thanked him for his love for her, so no matter what happened in the future, this night was worth remembering.
"Shall we go for a walk?" she asked.
Because she saw the cheerful faces of the children, and Alexei was surrounded by people. Those young people liked his light golden hair and had respect and curiosity for him.
Alexei, on the other hand, looked a little shy, but with a certain joy. His life seemed to have just begun at this moment. He looked young and full of vitality. Although he still looked thin, everyone thought he was healthy and beautiful.
"Okay." Karenin said, letting Anna take his arm, and they left the crowd and walked on the path not far away.
The moonlight slanted down like flowing water, the shadows of the trees were whirling, and the spring breeze at night was slightly cool, but the dance made them feel a little hot, so it was a good time to walk around.
"I think of that night in France when we first got married," said Anna, who always remembers every little detail firmly.
Karenin knew this.
In terms of pure memory, Karenin is better than most people, and he can even remember more details than his wife. However, that is different.
Anna's memory is always accompanied by emotion, while Karenin's memory is more of memory itself. He likes to hear his wife say this.
After meeting Anna, the word "like" was used more and more frequently in Karenin's list, but it wasn't as scary as it had previously been thought.
In fact, these subtle influences are like the warmth of the sun. People usually don't know how to control this degree, and Anna, it's not so much that she has some kind of talent, it's better to say that she puts all her effort into it.
"I remember." Karenin could only respond in this way.
He is not good at sharing memories with others, except those official memories, which are always wrapped in a sarcastic smirk when revealed.
And his wife seems to be satisfied with just getting an answer of "remember".
The warmth of memories flowed from her lips, like a trail, and every footprint seemed to hide a ray of breeze, which was moving.
"I was," said Anna, stopping to look at Karenin.
She smiled: "I once thought that the person I want to marry must be tall, with a nice voice and a delicate heart, who can chat with me and take me around the world. We will have a house that is not very big, But a very warm white house, the courtyard is full of red, purple and yellow flowers, and when the spring breeze blows, the courtyard is full of beauty. I thought it was the ultimate happiness."
Anna saw that Karenin's eyelashes opened and closed, which was a sign of his mood swings, so she continued: "However, I chose to be your wife. It is not the same as the life I imagined to live, but strangely, I feel happy every moment. When you leave in the morning, sometimes I watch you enter the carriage, and I think I will see you after work. After you come back from the ministry, I think, today There are so many things I want to share with you. When you finished your business at night, I saw you and thought again, it’s so good, we spent another day happily together."
"It's weird, isn't it?" She blinked her eyes with a happy expression.
"It's completely different from what I thought before, but I just feel happy. I don't think there is anything wrong now. It doesn't matter if it's different, as long as the current happiness is real."
"I hope you feel the same way, Alexei. You, do you?" She looked at him expectantly.
For a long time, the moonlight quietly hid in the clouds.
Although there was no silvery radiance, no fireflies dancing, and the music was far away, the face of the man in front of her, because of the light, Anna couldn't see those beautiful blue eyes carefully.
But, like she said, none of that matters.
Being able to marry someone you like is a lucky thing in itself, not to mention, knowing that you are also cherished when you love him is like a miracle. Then, whether the form of getting along in marriage is the same as the fantasy of girls, it can be seen that it is not so important.
"Yes, my love."
Rubbing between lips and teeth, the air flows quietly, wrapped in love and deep admiration.
This response, like honey, is sinking.
During the kiss, Anna thought:
Some people can't find their lover after looking for it for a lifetime, and some people can't wait for the response of love even after waiting for a lifetime. And if they, □, are luckier than so many people in the world, then, to let their love enjoy happiness in marriage is what they all need to shoulder, a greater responsibility.
After returning to the city, the sudden change made Anna understand this truth again.
