4,
Although their marriage was short, we have to admit that they actually had many beautiful memories.
Jone is a man with a strong sense of responsibility, mature and stable. Apart from being a little busy, he has no other shortcomings. After marriage, for convenience, they rarely stayed in the Smith family’s ancestral home. The two of them lived in a flat in CBD. However, both Janet and he were people with strong private spheres and did not like strangers to disturb their space, so they did not hire housekeeper or cook.
The first few days they lived together, All the things in the house were packed by Janet. One morning, Jone may have overslept. There was an important morning meeting soon. Janet was drowsy. She only heard him coming over to shake her and asked in her ear: ‘Janet, where did you put my black suit? And where is the dark blue tie?’ She was so sleepy that she could not open her eyelids. She waved his hand away in vain, curled up in the quilt, and tried to curl her head in. Jon seemed to laugh, and he was anxious while laughing, coaxing her in her ear: ‘Hurry up, Janet, I’m really late.’ He leaned against her ear, and his breath brushed against her ear, itching. Janet’s ears were the most sensitive, and she woke up when he laughed. Jone added: ‘I’m really going to be late, the board of directors is waiting, go to sleep later, be good.’ Janet struggled to get up and went to the cloakroom in a daze to find clothes for him. After finding them, she handed them to Jone to change. When Jone changed and looked back, Janet was leaning against the cabinet behind her in pajamas, nodding her head, and had fallen asleep again. So he carried her to the bed and let her continue to sleep. In fact, there was no grand plot, just this kind of homely atmosphere, which would give rise to warmth and attachment to home over time. She is not the kind of young lady who has never touched women in a conventional big family. She is independent-minded and graduated from a prestigious university. What is rare is that she has high emotional intelligence and IQ, is good at socializing with people, and knows how to advance and retreat properly. She also took good care of herself when she was studying abroad. What is even more rare is that she can cook.
When she cooked for the first time after marriage, Jone was shocked. After tasting the first bite, he joked, ‘As a qualified husband, I thought I would bite the bullet and finish these dishes and then praise you, but I didn’t expect it to be so amazing.’
She couldn’t help but smile so much that her eyes curved deeply.
Jone is actually very good at cooking. Sometimes she works overtime. If Jone comes home first, he has already prepared the meal for her when she comes back. Occasionally, when they both rest at home, they will cook a sumptuous meal together, but there is only one thing – neither of them likes to wash dishes.
At first, both of them served. If the meal was cooked by one person, then the dishes must be washed by other person. It is a courtesy to exchange gifts, and they are polite. Later, when they are very familiar with each other, the two of them childishly play tricks on each other.
At first, it was rock-paper-scissors. There was a time when the atmosphere was really good. There was a heavy rain outside, and the glass made the house even quieter and more comfortable. After eating and drinking, the two of them played rock-paper-scissors. After Janet lost, she fell on the sofa and refused to get up by hugging the pillow. John went to pull her, but she smiled and dodged left and right. I don’t know why, she blurted out: ‘I don’t want to wash. Other husbands give in to their wives. You are the president of Smith enterprise, but you are arguing with your wife about these trivial matters.’ Such intimate words made both of them stunned, blushing and hot. It spread very quickly from her cheeks to her body. Janet turned over very quickly and said, ‘I’ll go wash the dishes.’ Jone held her down with a smile, sighed leisurely, and didn’t know if he was insulting her or what, but his tone was very pleasant: ‘Forget it, forget it. I am the president of Smith enterprise, how could I calculate these trivial matters with my wife? I’ll go wash it.’ That was the first time Jone called her his wife, with a little bit of joking, but she blushed, like the red on the tip of the ripe peach on the branch in early March, the sweetest one. They really started to have no barriers, probably because she discovered Jone’s secret. In fact, it was not intentional. She and Jone each had their own houses before marriage. That time, Smith’s mother gave her an address and asked her to pick up something. When she opened the door and went in, Jone was there too. The two looked at each other. She was so shocked that she could hardly control her expression, while Jone was embarrassed. The first floor of the large apartment was completely connected. There was no furniture, only display cabinets, half of which were filled with action figures and the other half were filled with Lego models.
Jone sat on the floor in the empty space in the middle, with his shirt sleeves rolled up, his hair, which was always neatly combed, hanging loosely between his eyebrows, looking a few years younger, like a college student who had just grown out of childishness. He was surrounded by Lego parts, and in his hand was a model airplane that was about one-third built.
Janet was stunned and didn’t react. She asked subconsciously, ‘Aren’t you in a meeting today?’ Mr. Jone Smith from Smith enterprise, who has always been steady, mature and reliable, seemed a little angry. His face turned red suspiciously and he said, ‘I’m done with the meeting, so I came to see…’ Janet couldn’t help laughing out loud, and her eyes were full of tears. Then she walked over and held him, whispering, ‘Come on, I’ll show you something.’ Janet took him to her secret apartment. It was not as exaggerated as Jone’s, but there was also a half room filled with Lego. Jone’s eyes almost lit up. He pointed to the complete set of pirate ship models from Pirates of the Caribbean on the table and said excitedly, ‘I have a complete set too.’ Janet was also excited and said, ‘I saw it.’ The two looked at each other and saw the sense of mutual appreciation between bosom friends in each other’s eyes. Later, they decided who would wash the dishes. They set an alarm clock and prepared the same mini Lego. Whoever finished first would wash the dishes. Jone’s childhood was not very good. His father died early, and his mother took care of him to the point of abnormality. Janet only got a glimpse from the occasional daily conversations that he didn’t have time to play with these things before. In addition to normal schoolwork, he also had a full schedule of business, stocks, funds and other courses. Things like Lego, in his mother’s eyes, are probably things that make people lose their ambition.
So this is just a secret between the two of them.
This tacit little secret seems to make the two of them closer.
Their marriage is so good, more harmonious than any people who have been in love for several years and entered the marriage hall. They are husband, wife and friends, with the same interests and hobbies, and their family backgrounds and horizons are in the same latitude. Their friends around them can’t help but sigh: ‘Why are you so compatible?’
Such a good match, like the souls of the other half, when they are together, they become one and finally complete.
How did it end up like this?
