Celebrity House [Anna]

Karenin did not linger long in bed, he rejected Seryozha's attempts to help him dress.He could at least tidy himself up.

Karenin really didn't want to become the type to rely on others. Of course, he had a more logical explanation for the bathing thing, and that was just a strategy.

"Why are you all here?" Anna asked as she entered the door.

"Good morning, mother." Seryozha gave Anna a warm hug, and his crooked eyes indicated that he was very happy now.

"Did I miss something?" Anna asked suspiciously.

"I told my father that I wanted to be a soldier," Seryozha replied.

"And the father was supportive of it."

Anna looked at Karenin, "I thought you wanted him to be an official like you."

"Soldiers or officials are good choices," Karenin said.

When they were ready, they went to breakfast together, and some papers were delivered during breakfast.

"I think I got the message that you're on leave, and allow me to remind you, Alexey, that you're on sick leave."

"But things have to be dealt with, Anna."

"Russia won't go back without you for a day or two, Alexei, at least please finish your breakfast and go for a walk at ten o'clock, it will be very good for your wound recovery." Anna explain.

"Mother is right, Father," agreed Seryozha, who had his usual French and literary lessons to attend today.

Karenin took one look at the mother and son, and finally decided to follow the advice.

At ten o'clock he invited his wife.

"Are you busy right now?"

Anna put down the book, glanced at Karenin, and smiled.

"You want me to go for a walk with you."

Karenin replied honestly: "Yes, a walk with two people will make me feel happy instead of boring."

"Let's go then, Alexis."

After Anna was fully dressed, they set off.

It is early spring, and the boulevards on both sides are not flourishing, but the new shoots of the birch trees are still very happy.

Anna held Karenin's good hand, and the breeze brushed her cheek. At this moment, she really felt relaxed and comfortable.This feeling is more comfortable than ever before, as if the burden in my heart has been unloaded, and I have become casual and at ease.

"I feel that you are in a good mood." Karenin said as he walked.

Anna glanced at the other party: "The weather is fine, you are not busy with work, what is there to complain about as a wife?"

"This," Karenin frowned slightly, "seems to be an accusation, accusing me of being immersed in work on weekdays."

Anna smiled, "Don't take it to heart, Alexei, I know what kind of person you are, and I don't intend to make you change anything, just like you don't ask me to make more changes, respect each other, that's fine. "

Karenin listened and thought for a while.

At Anna's request, they sat down on a wooden chair by the river.

Karenin observed his wife's expression, and was relieved when he saw that she was really happy.

"Anna."

"what happened?"

Anna brushed her hair back, her dark eyes were full of concentration.

"Yes, this is what's wrong." Karenin suddenly thought through this point.

If it is said that Anna's focus on him in the past was alienated and pleasing, but now she is a little too focused, as if she has attached her own personal emotions to him alone. what Lenin wanted.

"You, something is wrong." Karenin said directly after hesitating for a while.He always believes that honesty between husband and wife is very important.Originating from the complex and changeable language art of human beings, as well as the instinctive sense of camouflage, many unnecessary misunderstandings stem from not being honest enough.In politics, this cup may be called a strategy, but in the relationship between husband and wife, Karenin is not willing to do this.

"What's wrong with me?" Anna blinked slowly.Her behavior confirmed Karenin's guess.

Karenin spoke in a calm and straightforward tone.

"You're accommodating me, anything, Ana, and I want to know why, and, to be honest, I don't want you to do that."

"I don't understand, Alexei. Generally speaking, any husband wants a submissive and obedient wife. I care about you and accommodate you, and you are not happy?"

"It would be a foolish husband to want a wife who accommodates him in everything. That's no different from a puppet." Karenin said solemnly.

"You're my wife, I don't need a puppet. I thought our previous conversation was valid."

Anna slowly lowered her hand, she was silent for a while, and then said: "I really don't understand."

The serious expression on Karenin's face softened, and he whispered: "If you don't understand anything, I will be happy to listen and try to make you understand."

"It's not something I'm good at, Alexei," Anna said, slightly irritated, the complete opposite of her relaxed look this morning.

Although Anna's expression was irritated and puzzled, it was indeed good news for Karenin.

"Go on, Anna, we have to talk about problems to solve them."

Anna glanced at Karenin with a defensive look, but the man's expression was always frank. After hesitating for a while, she said: "We are husband and wife, this has long been a fact, but a while ago, whether it was you or me, Both seem to be seriously re-examining the relationship."

"Yes, that's right."

Karenin's expression seemed to be one of tolerance and encouragement, so Anna felt that she could continue talking.

"We have been married for eight years, but now this relationship has changed. I mean, whether it is you to me or I to you, there is an irrational sense of demand, which is beyond our plan."

"About this point, I agree, but I have to tell you, I mean, to express my inner feelings completely sincerely, I am willing to accept what you ask of me, and I hope that if I have something for you It's an irrational request, you won't be bored or unbelievable about it." When Karenin said the last sentence, his language was rarely vague, as if he was feeling a little ashamed of his own thoughts, but he still said it.

Karenin's unnatural expression seemed to really encourage Anna, or maybe, because she knew that the other party was not as calm as she showed, she calmed down a little.

But the problem remains.

Anna has never been in a relationship, let alone this model of marriage first and then love.

The environment in which she lives determines her extreme mistrust of people other than herself. She may be a little smart and calm enough, but when she encounters this kind of thing, she has no one to talk to, and she has thoughts and fears in her heart that she can only rely on herself. Digestion, so it's inevitable to go back to that mode again.

Different from the previous pure role-playing, she did hide some feelings for Karenin, but if the feelings were vented, she would inevitably put herself in a position that was too unsafe, and her instincts pulled her tightly. Watch her, don't let her do that.

Fortunately, Karenin was not, as he said, the kind of stupid husband.

He wanted a result, and his wife gave him this result, but through experience and hope interaction, he found that this result contained too much moisture, and the so-called sincere part was tightly wrapped by the other party.It's like a defective product that looks so perfect that it's actually empty.

Karenin is absolutely greedy to a certain extent, and he does not accept fools and inferior products, so he is straightforward, not hesitating to expose his lack of self-confidence, but also to penetrate into the heart of the other party, whether it is coaxing or violence, he must let that Sincerely come out.

"No one can accept a brand new model all at once, and no one can remain calm in an unknown field. Anna, this is not something to be ashamed of."

Karenin's words were calm and sincere, Anna looked up at him, her eyes still had a hint of doubt, but in Karenin's view, at least, she was now beginning to face him and this problem squarely.

This is a very good signal in political negotiations.

Although marriage is not a political negotiation, there are similarities between the two.The difference is that in politics, the person sitting across from you, no matter how good, is always the enemy. In the end, either you win him or he wins you. A win-win situation is impossible because that means you lose up.But marriage is different. He needs this negotiation process, but not to achieve a successful result, but to solve the problem.

"We can take our time, Anna, we still have a lot of time," Karenin said.

If Karenin had been any romantic, the words must have been more flamboyant and sweeter.But Anna knows that he is such a rational and plain person. If such a person says so, the weight of sincerity may be like another small planet. Although it is not large in scale and lacks beautiful new creatures, after all is a whole.

Someone gave you such a planet, and you have nothing to do with it regardless of emotion or reason.

So Anna leaned forward slightly, kissed the corner of the other's mouth, and then whispered: "I thought I would fall in love with work, but I think things shouldn't be that bad."

"I couldn't find a way of getting along with us, so I was a little panicked. I didn't have accurate data for analysis, and I didn't have a template for reference. Everything was up to me, and I was responsible for it. This is beyond my control. .I refuse to let you know this, but now, as you said, if you can accept it, if you can allow it, I will try it slowly. But one thing, please promise me, don't force me."

"I promise you, Anna."

"Very well, Alexis."

Anna looked up at the other party: "If you refuse to get a docile and obedient wife, then you really have to be prepared."

Karenin looked at his wife with a smile. He never thought that one day, he would regard his married life as a challenge, and what is the prize?He didn't have precise results, but wanted to take on the challenge nonetheless.

He murmured his answer in French.

"Adventures are always dangerous, but the results are always exciting."
