Chapter 61

After dinner in the evening, Anna received a request.

"Tell a story?"

Charlie looked up at Anna with his little head up. "But we always need bedtime stories."

"But you always tell me to treat you as adults." Anna said deliberately.

Charlie and Andre looked at each other and held back their smiles.

Andrea looked at his aunt: "except for this one."

"It's not in line with the rules." Anna said, then saw the blonde winking at him, glancing at Alexei.

Anna understood the confidence conveyed by the boys, and she was happy with their consideration.

She tilted her head and thought for a moment. To tell the truth, she did not tell a story to anyone else. This is not what she can do well. But she can always try.

"Anuska, warm up the fireplace." Anna said, and anuska answered.

"Well, boys, go and get Alexei over and sit down where you like. I'll get you some hot milk

"I don't like this one." Andre had a look of disgust.

"No milk, no story, boy." Anna said solemnly, Andrea pursed her lips and finally compromised.

"Come on, little girl who doesn't like milk." Charlie joked, then ran upstairs before being kicked in revenge.

"Don't make it to Alexis!" Anna called out from behind. The boys really stepped down, but they still pushed and played all the way.

Before long, the sofa by the fireplace was almost full.

Anna sat on the sofa on her right, and on the couch sat Andre, Charlie and Alexei in turn.

The boys are carrying hot milk, steaming milk has a warm sweet smell.

Anna watched them finish drinking, thought for a moment, and began to tell the story of a boy and a horse.

The archetype of the story is a little girl who suddenly knows that her family is bankrupt and finally is forced to move away from her good life, her friends, and move to the countryside. She needs to readjust, not only in life, but also in a mindset away from money and fashion. A horse let her understand the value of life and friends, that is money can not give.

The story is not long. It will be over in about twenty minutes.

"It's strange that there's no duel in it, and I'm not bored." Charlie smacked his lips.

"In fact, I don't think it's realistic." Andrea shook his head, and seemed to decide to comment on the story from the most rational point of view.

"If a young man with a good family background suddenly goes bankrupt, it is impossible that the girl will marry him again. She can't disobey her parents and her family, if they're going to stay in this circle. "

Anna looked at Alexei. "What do you think?"

"I think he's very brave," he said with a smile in his pale gray eyes

"That's right." Andrea agreed.

"I want a horse like that, too." Charlie suddenly said, "can we go riding tomorrow?" He seemed to have a sudden interest, and Andrea was aroused.

"And you? Alexei. " Anna asked the blonde again, who gave a shy smile, "if you can?"

Anna laughed. "I'll ask Alexis later." She pauses. "But now, boys, it's time for you to go to bed."

"But it's early." Andre struggles.

"No, it's your time. You can be unrestrained occasionally, but you can't change your work and rest time. I didn't bring you here just to spoil you Anna said, and drove them back to the room.

The two little ones went upstairs unwillingly. Alexei stopped for a moment and then asked, "can I read for a while and then go to sleep?"

He asked for her advice, and Anna felt very happy about it, which at least showed that Alexei was really open. If before, she did not doubt that he would not say anything, she would go to bed.

"Of course you can, but don't be too late, will you?"

"I will, aunt. Good night." Alexei showed a smile, a little pale and a little red on his cheeks. People can't help but be nice to him.

"Good night, Alexei."

After the children had gone, the only sound left in front of the fireplace in the living room was the sound of wood. Anna cleaned it up, then turned and walked to the second floor with her skirt in her hands.

She knocked on the door of the study before she went in.

Karenin frowned slightly, and looked up at his wife when she felt Anna coming in.

Anna knew he was busy, and there was obviously something wrong with him, because his brows were still frowning when he looked up at himself.

"That's all right. You'll be busy first, Alexis." Anna said with a smile. She did not leave. She took a book and sat down on the sofa not far away. She looked very comfortable."Call me in ten minutes, Anna." Karenin softened his voice. Although the official business is a little boring, but obviously, his wife's considerate approach makes him have to do so.

"Be busy with you." Anna responds with a smile.

Next, silence, only the light because of the wick, occasionally vibrated.

From time to time Anna would look up at Karenin's side, until she saw the slight wrinkles between her eyebrows slowly unfold.

About 20 minutes later, Karenin recovered from his official duties. He took a look at his pocket watch and sipped his lips. Then he looked at the direction of the sofa and found that his wife had fallen asleep on the back of the sofa. The book is open at the knee and will fall at any time.

Karenin held his breath for a moment, then got up and walked gently to the sofa.

He bent down, solid arm movement gently around Anna's body, the latter picked up when the people in his arms issued a dreamy voice.

"Are you going to sleep?"

With this half dream and half awake words said, his wife's hands also put on his neck, cheek against him.

Karenin took a look at the documents that had not yet been processed, then withdrew his eyes and said, "yes."

When he finished speaking, he saw a small, soft smile blooming in the corner of his wife's mouth.

"Sleep, together."

It is still a little bit of unconscious words, like children's general mumbling, but also rubbed against.

Karenin felt that he was not holding a warm body, but a soft little animal.

He then looked down at his wife in the light, from the ebony black hair to the smooth forehead and the delicate eyebrows, the closed eyes and the thick and slender eyelashes. Finally, Karenin's eyes fell on his wife's ruddy lips.

Looking down from the red lips, through the soft jaw line, to the neck, and then down, across the clavicle, the excessive whiteness shows a bit of undiscovered scenery from the neckline.

Karenin is a normal male, and Rouyu exists naturally.

This is a woman, his wife.

Karenin knew the beauty of his wife without touching him directly and catching it with his eyes.

But at the same time, there has always been such a recognition in his mind.

In this mature body, the soul hidden is still immature and ignorant.

If it was not naive, how could you have made such a bold request after the first meeting.

And in the marriage, Karenin will Anna's efforts bit by bit in the heart. From the beginning, there were still a few doubts, but now they have become trust.

However, no matter how to pretend to be mature and steady, in the final analysis, she is just a young girl

Therefore, in this unprepared situation, being trusted to hear that kind of childlike babbling "sleep together" makes this Russian senior official who is always serious and calm can hardly help laughing.

But in the end, it didn't.

In any case, Mr. Karenin always wanted to keep his dignity, so at most, when no one was looking at him, he gave a gentle smile and a murmur. Through the warm air in the room, he drifted slowly into Anna's dream with his own ambiguous gesture.

In her dream, she vaguely heard her husband ask her in a low, smiling voice whether she really knew the meaning of sleeping together.

"Of course I know." Anna responds in a dream.

The so-called sleep together, in addition to feeling warm and comfortable in your arms, also means more, and I really won't let you wait too long

The guarantee in the dream is a little too clear, but also mixed with some deep and floating dreams. When Anna really wakes up, the sky is just hazy and not transparent.

She felt the warm breath and looked up to see the man's high nose and clear lip line.

Only when he fell asleep would Karenin's lips be in a relaxed state. And on weekdays, when sipping, they always seem too serious and cold.

At the moment, when they are not bound by the will of their master, they fully reflect their original posture.

It was a soft, light lip color, with the upper lip a little thinner than the lower lip. Not as plump as when you were young, but still healthy. The tattoo given by time to a man is still more generous and kind to this man.

Anna raised her body slightly, approached each other, printed a kiss on the beautiful soft lip corner, and then fell asleep again by the dim light and sleepiness.

After Karenin got up at daybreak, Anna got up, too.

In Karenin's puzzled eyes, Anna told Karenin when she didn't have time to finish yesterday.

Karenin was buttoning his sleeves, thought for a moment, and then said, "after breakfast, go and ride a horse."

"Really?" Anna was a little happy and then asked, "will it delay your work?"

"I'll adjust it." Karenin buttoned up his cuffs and said, "you need to change into something lighter, Anna. It's safe.""It's a pity I didn't bring my riding clothes." Anna was sorry, but she was happy. And he went to the closet and showed her.

In the end, they all agreed that a less tight sky blue dress would be more suitable.

"Change your clothes, Anna. I'll tell them." Karenin said, and then got a kiss from his wife.

"Thank you! Alexis

His wife's cheerful expression made Karenin also show a small smile, of course, Anna did not see, she was about to change clothes.

Although he wanted to be more nostalgic, Karenin turned to the door, opened the bedroom door, and then closed it gently.

After all, in Karenin's mind, her wife was a child who had not yet grown up. He wants to see her carefree and cheerful smile, and is willing to change his life and make concessions for this smile. Most of the time, he also wants to monopolize these smiles. Because of this treasure, he is so stubborn that he won't allow himself to make mistakes.

They still have a lot of time to go further. Because he can always wait for her to grow up. ( )
