Your Distance

Chapter 47: cultural distance

Views:

Boss Bai has had a hard time these two days.

The children seem to have entered a retrograde period.

The specific manifestations are: picking and choosing the meals made by Bai Changyi; disdain for Bai Changyi's writings; doubting Bai Changyi's aesthetics; and not cooperating with sex life.

The first three can also be understood as daily interest, and the last one - definitely something went wrong.

"Ting, what's going on?" Bai Changyi asked one night after he was inexplicably pushed away by Ting Shuang after the next kiss.

Ting Shuang's jeans were so high, but she said stubbornly, "what's going on? I just don't want to."

Bai Changyi was a little helpless and said, "What's the problem? Tell me."

As for what went wrong, Ting Shuang didn't want to say.

After viewing the apartment on Tuesday, Jonas decided on the spot to rent Tingshuang's apartment, and the landlady had no objection. Thinking of the scene of that day, Ting Shuang is not the taste. At that time, not only Jonas, but also Jonas' boyfriend, the two of them were not shy and sweet, and they discussed how to rebuild the room after moving in. Arranged, and smiled at each other from time to time, as if they were about to live together.

Ting Shuang was hit hard.

He didn't plan to tell Bai Changyi about this, he wanted to solve it silently by himself.

After all, if the house is gone, you can find it again, and that little bit of self-esteem is gone... I don't know where else to look.

In this matter, intellectually he also knew that Bai Changyi did nothing wrong, but emotionally it was not so easy to pass, so he could only express his dissatisfaction with other things.

That's what it means to play by topic.

"Your technique has deteriorated, I don't feel comfortable." Ting Shuang said stubbornly, standing in front of Bai Changyi.

If other men heard this, they would definitely feel a bolt from the blue and lose their dignity.

But now it was Bai Changyi who heard this.

Poor technology

impossible.

uncomfortable

does not exist.

Bai Changyi looked at Ting Shuang, and four words appeared in his mind: "picking quarrels and provoking trouble."

Ting Shuang has a criminal record in this area, and no one is his opponent in terms of finding trouble and losing his temper in front of Bai Changyi.

"Is this really the reason?" Bai Changyi raised his eyes and asked.

That look made Ting Shuang furious.

At this time, Bai Changyi was sitting on the sofa and Ting Shuang was standing. To him, it was obviously a condescending position, but now he has the feeling of being called by the teacher to the office for questioning.

"... Hmm." Ting Shuang took a long time to squeeze out a voice.

Bai Changyi looked at Ting Shuang for a while and said, "Okay, it's up to you."

"... What do you mean?" Ting Shuang said.

"How comfortable, you tell me." Bai Changyi said.

how comfortable...

Can't answer.

Ting Shuang didn't look into Bai Changyi's eyes, didn't speak, and looked uncooperative.

Bai Changyi waited for several minutes and decided to ask another way: "Then why did I make you uncomfortable?"

Where does it hurt…

Can't answer either.

Ting Shuang stood there for a long time, her feet hurt a little.

"Why do I have to answer your question?" Ting Shuang felt particularly unbalanced.

Why

Why does he keep standing in this position

It will always be Bai Changyi who has the final say, and Bai Changyi will always take the lead. If you let him come, he will come happily, and if you let him go, he will have to leave without saying a word.

Suddenly he got angry: "Can't I just not say it? Why do you judge me like this?"

"Ting, I'm trying to solve the problem." Bai Changyi lowered his voice, "If you don't want to talk now, we can change the time."

Bai Changyi's tone was very restrained. Usually, it was easier for the other party to calm down, but this attitude, which seemed to be completely unaffected by emotions, angered Ting Shuang even more.

Why is Bai Changyi able to do it so easily

"Talk, why can't we talk? You ask me what makes me uncomfortable. Well, I'll tell you, you make me uncomfortable everywhere." Ting Shuang became more and more angry, pretending to be nothing for the past two days, and suffocated him. , "I'm not feeling well now, I'm not feeling well these days, I'm not feeling well as long as I stay with you."

There is no way to go on this.

Ting Shuang was still venting his emotions.

Bai Changyi has been listening quietly without interruption.

When Ting Shuang's emotions were almost vented, he gradually calmed down and stopped talking, only to realize that something was wrong.

There was no expression on Bai Changyi's face, and it didn't look like he was angry.

"I just..." Ting Shuang wanted to say, he didn't think about what he said just now, but he couldn't keep his face down.

Bai Changyi waited for a minute, and seeing that Ting Shuang didn't want to continue speaking, he said, "Can we talk about specific issues now?"

After a long time, Ting Shuang said in a muffled voice, "...No problem."

"No problem." Bai Changyi said, "then what are we doing tonight."

Ting Shuang did not speak.

He doesn't know what he's doing tonight. If he wants to pretend he's okay, he should pretend to the end, and don't show any dissatisfaction at all. If he really can't hold it back, he should put down that bit of bullshit self-esteem and tell it all.

But he can't do either.

Finally, he saw a trace of fatigue in Bai Changyi's eyes.

"Ting, I'm going on a business trip tomorrow." Bai Changyi glanced at his watch and stood up, "I'm staying at the hotel tonight."

Bai Changyi's exhaustion stabbed Ting Shuang hard.

Suddenly, a word got into his ears like a snake again.

"Ting Shuang, with your temper, who can stand it? I'm used to it, what about him? Can he stand it? He can stand it today, will you check again in two months? "

The snake spat out a letter and repeated that sentence.

Ting Shuang stood beside the sofa blankly, listening to the sound of opening and closing doors one by one, and then curled up on the floor alone.

Bai Changyi was standing at the gate of the courtyard and was about to call a taxi when an incoming call appeared on the screen: Elena.

Bai Changyi answered the phone: "I'll call you back when I call a taxi."

"Guess who happened to be driving?" Elena smiled. "I'll pick you up, where are you?"

Bai Changyi: "At the door of my house."

Elena: "Five minutes."

She and Bai Changyi have the same habit of reporting the estimated time and arriving on time.

"Where are you going?" The car window was lowered, the beauty was about the same age as Bai Changyi, with curly blond hair, plump breasts under the vest, slender waists, and large tattoos on her beautifully muscled arms, one side extending from the shoulders extends to the clavicle.

"I don't know." Bai Changyi sat on the co-pilot, "Just find a hotel."

"God, you're homeless? I remember your house was a pre-wedding property." Elena glanced at the lights in the house, and then casually played an album with drums so strong that it would rip people's hearts out, "You Didn't you just give all your marital property to your ex-wife?"

"We seem to have agreed not to talk about each other's ex-wife." Bai Changyi said.

"Watch your wording, I don't have an ex-wife." Elena hits the gas.

"You know what I'm talking about, you are registered cohabiting partners." Bai Changyi said.

"OK, we are a registered common-law partner and she even has the right to inherit my estate if I die. Damn German law, I just want it to prove our relationship when we are in love, not wanting to Let it take my money when we don't love each other." Elena cursed in a very low voice, very funny.

She remembered the purpose of calling and asked Bai Changyi: "What's wrong with you recently? If you want me to find a new golfer, you should tell me at least three months in advance."

They were supposed to play tennis for an hour every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday morning. This habit has been maintained for several years, but since a few weeks ago, Bai Changyi has been absent for no reason. No time.

Elena has tried to find a few new golfers, but they are not good enough. After comparison, the co-pilot is indeed the best golfer.

Even better if not absent.

"Sorry." Bai Changyi said, "It's not very convenient recently."

"Not very convenient? I know when it's convenient, if I remember correctly, we start at six in the morning... Wait." Elena glanced at Bai Changyi, "Are you dating someone recently? Or at the same time? How many people are dating?"

"Just one." Bai Changyi said.

"So soon?" Elena wondered, how long did it take? She suddenly thought of the lights in Bai Changyi's house just now, "He doesn't live in your house right now, does he?"

Bai Changyi was silent.

equal to default.

"God, you're not going to live with him, are you?" Elena couldn't believe it.

"How is that possible?" Bai Changyi said, "He is a little boy in his twenties. Think about who would want to live with someone when we were in our twenties?"

Elena nodded, feeling the same. "When I was in my twenties, I had no idea whose bed I would wake up in the morning."

"What's more," Bai Changyi didn't say the second half of the sentence, not to mention that the child already feels uncomfortable with him now.

"He doesn't even think you're old." Elena joked.

"He thinks I'm old every day." Bai Changyi also smiled, his usual humor was like laughing at himself, "I can't tell him that in a few years I'll be forty years old, and I've thought about stability. So please live with me, I would like to see you and your classmates drinking and dancing in the living room after get off work, throwing pillows and shooting each other with water guns."

Elena laughed and looked at Bai Changyi with a smile, but found that there was no smile on Bai Changyi's face.

"What you said just now, can't be true?" Elena turned off the stereo, and the car was completely silent. "Do you really want to live together so soon?"

"I never thought about it before you mentioned it." Bai Changyi turned to look out the window.

Formal cohabitation means a lot of real things.

For example, from now on, the names of the two people will be written on the house number and the mailbox, and Bai Changyi's friends will know this relationship, including many professors of the school. Also, Ting Shuang's classmates and friends may also be Bai Changyi's students.

That was a huge step, second only to registering a partner and getting married, and Bai Changyi couldn't take it lightly.

It's too early, now they can't even bring each other into their own social circles.
