Chapter 11

Candles, lights, legal marriage, husband and wife.

Karenin gave the menu to the waiter, then looked at his wife and asked, "what's the matter?"

"This is our first dinner."

"I think this is the third time we've had dinner together." Karenin said.

"I mean like this, just the two of us, alone outside, have these candles." Anna emphasizes the candles in front of them.

Karenin looked away from the candle and did not quite understand Anna's mood, but he did not intend to destroy it.

He saw that Anna's cheeks were still red in the light, and then she suddenly leaned over and took out her handkerchief and sneezed.

He knew where the sense of disobedience came from.

"Uncomfortable?"

"I don't know." Anna sneezed again.

Karenin got up and walked to Anna. Under Anna's puzzled eyes, he pasted the back of his hand on her forehead, which was quite hot as expected.

"It feels hot." He took his hand and said to Anna again, "you're a little hot."

Anna had a little bit of hindsight. She felt that her heart beat faster and her cheeks were hot, not because of the dinner date.

"I don't think that's a big problem." Anna said uncertainly.

"You need to see a doctor for dinner." Karenin said that he sat down and asked the waiter to come.

"Must I? I think it's OK. Maybe it's just a night off. "

"It's better to see a doctor. Don't delay." Said Karenin, twisting his eyebrows.

"All right."

Karenin asked the waiter to find a way to get them a doctor. He gave each other a little money. Although this is also a service that hotels can provide, they will naturally be more efficient if they receive money.

Anna waited for the man to leave before whispering, "I thought you were upright."

"It has nothing to do with integrity, Anna. When you need efficiency, don't be stingy with money." Karenin said that at the same time, she replaced Anna's glass of water that had been somewhat cold and returned to a cup of hot water.

Anna felt that the day was not bad. Even if she had thought that the first day she set foot on the land in Paris, France, she would have to go to the Saint Martin canal. She heard that the sky and water there were pale purple and blue.

"I didn't go anywhere today." She said the quilt had covered her.

"You can't go anywhere, Anna. You're sick and need a rest." Karenin said in a calm tone, as if calming a child.

"I know." Anna looked at Karenin with her eyes open and asked, "are you still going out tomorrow?"

"Yes, I'll have to wait for five tomorrow."

"All right."

"I have to look at the document a little longer." Karenin said, and Anna nodded.

Although I sleep a lot during the day, I really need sleep when I am sick. Anna thought it was hard to fall asleep, but in fact she fell asleep again in ten minutes.

Karenin finished his work early at 9:30. He washed well. When he came to the bedroom, he found that Anna was not sleeping well and breathing heavily. Maybe it's the fever. The quilt was kicked away.

Karenin quilted Anna.

The bed is always big enough. Karenin blows out the candle and lies in his own quilt. Soon, a restless hand comes out, accompanied by a low cough.

I can't see clearly in the dark. After a while, I can hear the sound of the bedding.

Karenin felt that the man in his arms struggled for a moment, and he gently stroked each other's shoulders, as if to placate.

The night is still long.

Anna woke up at dawn.

I feel like I'm trapped in it.

When she looked up, she found that she was in the arms of Karenin.

"Plop -- plop --"

following the familiar temperature, Anna lowered her head and closed her eyes again, making herself closer to each other's arms.

When he woke up again, Karenin was gone. In terms of time, he should have left.

The temperature returned to normal and a note was seen on the bedside table.

The handwriting is steady and concise.

Anna can only hold the pillow secretly smile, this small happiness in this morning slowly spread.

At breakfast, Anna wondered if she was going anywhere, but later decided to wait for Karenin to come back.

At noon, she received a letter from her husband.

He asked if she felt better.

This line of words is not cheap, but the cost of manual delivery is very expensive.

Anna felt that she was a good wife, so she wrote a full page in her letter.The same price, look, this is cost performance!

She read another book. Time seemed to go too slowly. Several times Anna went to see if the falling clock was broken.

At four o'clock, she received another letter from her husband.

It's not sweet talk, it's still short, and it's bad news.

Obviously, after confirming that she is well, her husband needs to return late and the time is uncertain.

Seriously, Anna was a little depressed.

She went to dinner alone after the time, because obviously, it was useless to wait at this time. Although she understood, she still expected her husband to come back, but the reality was that she didn't.

After dinner, she went for a walk in the garden to eat. She was blown by the night wind, and the negative mood was almost gone. Anna regained her spirits. She began to re plan. If she had to stay alone for a long time, she could arrange several separate travel plans for herself.

Just as Anna had listed her third single travel plan, Karenin came back.

Anna glanced at the clock. It was eight o'clock.

Karenin first confirmed that Anna had recovered, and then nodded.

"Have you had a good dinner?" Anna put down her pen and went to Karenin, who was hanging up her coat.

"Yes. What are you doing? " Karenin asked. He was a little chilly, so he was a little far away from Anna.

"Planning a trip." Anna said.

Karenin went over to have a look, then looked up and said, "are you going to go out alone?"

"From the analysis of these two days, it is very likely that I will have to go out alone."

Karenin was a little uneasy and did not understand whether this was an accusation.

Anna saw Karenin's uneasiness and said, "it doesn't matter."

Karenin wrung his eyebrows. He quickly combed the following itinerary in his mind. Because his secretary hurt his leg, he couldn't come together this time, and the substitute had to arrive in Paris tomorrow night.

After carding, Karenin also looked at the clock and finally said, "do you want to sleep now?"

"I've been sleeping too long these two days." Anna laughs, trying to resolve the embarrassment.

"Well, let's go out, at least one place." Karenin said, still holding Anna's schedule.

"Is it all right to go to the Saint Martin? It's the latest, considering there's a dance tomorrow and you're just in better shape

"Yes!" Anna's eyes lit up, then hesitated, "but you must be very tired today."

"Just for a walk, Anna." Karenin said, picking up his coat again.

"You have to wear more." No, he suggested, it was more like an order from the way he watched Anna pick out the coat from the closet.

Finally, Anna wore a velvet dress, a fur coat and even a hat.

The small diamond earrings are very beautiful against the background of fur, and they won't dominate.

"You must allow me to dress up a little bit." Anna tucked her fingers into her beautiful leather gloves, fully armed, but still amazingly beautiful.

"I wonder if I can walk a hundred meters." Anna wanted to make a grimace and held it back. She was really worried that if she made such an inappropriate expression, Karenin would be too stunned to speak.

"You can." Karenin still didn't understand the sense of humor.

Anna shrugged her shoulders. She walked forward, but she didn't know that although someone didn't understand the sense of humor, she still had the aesthetic consciousness of men.

Because there was no advance notice, this time they were not in Binoche's carriage, but the coachman who was just outside the hotel.

About twenty minutes later, they arrived at their destination.

Karenin got out of the car first, then stretched out his hand to pull Anna down, and the latter took his arm.

Anna touched Karenin's arm and patted again. The latter looked at her suspiciously.

Anna laughed and said, "this arm will be mine from now on."

It took Karenin a moment to say, "technically, my arm belongs only to me."

"Don't forget your marriage vows." Anna reminds me.

"Not forgotten." Karenin replied, in a gentle tone.

At this time, I can't see the scenery clearly. Fortunately, there is moonlight. It's not all quiet. There's the sound of the wind blowing the bushes, the subtle sound of the river rippling by the wind, and one or two voices.

Anna and Karenin were walking by the river, and the latter asked, "will you be disappointed? Now I can't see anything clearly. "

Anna stopped and laughed in the Moonlight: "why be disappointed? It's been a surprise since I went out. " As if thinking of something, Anna blinked her eyes and said, "can you sing me a song here?"

This request really caught Karenin off guard. He said rigidly, "I'm not good at singing.""Well, I'll sing you one, and you'll give it back to me later, Alexis." Anna said with a smile that after Karenin nodded, she took each other's arms again and walked slowly. Before long, there was a gentle song in the path.

The melody of the song is beautiful, like the moonlight scattering every piece of light on the leaves. Even those who are not good at music like Karenin can feel its beauty.

Finally Karenin asked, "what is its name?"

"Harbor night." Anna said, then quickly denied, laughing:

"no, again, it's the night of the St. Martin canal."

"you should remember to give it back to me."

For a long time, with the night wind and moonlight, Anna heard Karenin's promise.

"Good."
