Murray took the tea and took a sip. He said with satisfaction, “OK, you are my apprentice from now on. You can call me Mr. Moore or master.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Then I’ll call you master.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I thought it was a good name. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Murray looked at me and said, “you took advantage of your face.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Face?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I froze and touched my mask. I didn’t understand what he meant for a moment. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Murray nodded. “You look a little like one of my sisters. What’s more, you act like her.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
At this point, Murray bowed his head to drink all the tea in front of him and poured tea for himself. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I could see Murray was a little sad. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
His sister was very important to him. Since he accepted me as an apprentice, he must want to make up for some kind of regret. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I hesitated for a moment and asked, “master, where is your sister now?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“She’s gone.” Murray shook his head. “Twenty years ago, she left with a man. She never contacted me again.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“How could this happen? She’s too cruel.” I said. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“No.” Murray interrupted me directly. “She’s not cruel. She just cares how I feel. When she left, she said she would not come back. In that case, we should not contact.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Master, you are right.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I realized that when I said she was not good, Murray would not be happy. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
In that case, I dare not express my opinion again. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
That afternoon, Murray talked to me about learning. He said he had a studio in a small town on the outskirt of the Carson City and I could study there. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
At the same time, if he had a job, he would let me be his assistant. He would pay me and wouldn’t let me have no income. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Thank you, master.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was very grateful to Murray. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I could even foresee that this study may really be a new chance for me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Well, don’t thank me. If you are too stupid and don’t study hard, I will drive you away.” Murray pointed to the cup in front of me. “It’s cold.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I picked up the cup and took a sip of tea. I felt sick at once! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I rushed into the toilet in the teahouse! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I didn’t puke anything. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I rinsed and all of a sudden I had a headache. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
So much happened today after I saw Murray. I even forgot that I was pregnant. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
How could I tell him about it? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When I went out, Murray didn’t look happy. He looked at me angrily and said, “is my tea so awful that you vomit?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“No.” I quickly sat down and wiped my hands with a tissue. I looked at Murray in embarrassment. “I forgot to tell you I am pregnant.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“What?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I’m sorry. If you think I’m not qualified to be your apprentice, I don’t blame you. I didn’t mean to hide it from you.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I lowered my head with guilt and waited for Murray to comment. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Ha ha.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It was quiet for a few seconds and then I heard Murray laughing. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I looked up and looked at him incredulously. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Murray laughed for a while and then stopped. He smiled helplessly. “You are pregnant. I didn’t expect that.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I’m sorry.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I don’t blame you.” Murray made tea and said, “my sister used to vomit like you before she left with that man. At that time, I said that she had gastrointestinal disease. Now I find that I was naive.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I didn’t know what to say. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But I suddenly felt that Murray’s sister’s experience might not be simple. According to him, his sister was also pregnant before marriage. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
This happened in those days. I was afraid… <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Who is the father of your baby?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When I was thinking about his sister, Murray asked me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
His question embarrassed me. I hesitated for a moment and told him, “Sean.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“He?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Yes, he doesn’t know I am pregnant. I want to keep this baby.” At this point, I was afraid Murray didn’t agree with me, so I said decisively, “if it’s inconvenient for you, after I give birth…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“It doesn’t matter,” Murray interrupted me directly. “You can have this baby. If this baby is gifted and learns from me, he will surely succeed when he grows up.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to learn from Murray. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Murray and I came out of the teahouse that day and he left first. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The Carson City was warmer than York. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It was not far from my hotel. I went back alone. When I passed a coffee shop, I saw the news on TV. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Sean, the president of the Giant group, and Cindy, the daughter of Lewis Group, have been married on a private island and are returning home today.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Hearing Sean’s name, I couldn’t help but stop and look into the cafe. Sean and Cindy were walking down the plane on the big TV screen. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean wore a suit and held Cindy’s hand. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
They matched very well. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I couldn’t help approaching the coffee shop. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Wow, they match so well.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
There were four girls at the table next to me in the cafe and one of them said. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“A ship caught fire on their wedding day. There was a burnt female body on the ship. Do you know who she is?” Another girl said. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Who?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Then they all asked curiously. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I quickly sat at the table next to them and pretended to look through the menu. I focused on what the girls were saying. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But the girl deliberately lowered her voice. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Although I tried to listen, I only heard the words “Carter Family”, “bride” and “marriage”. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The other girls were shocked. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“My God, she’s so cruel to herself.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“She shouldn’t have done it. She still has a long life. Why did she commit suicide?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Yes, Sean will not be guilty but relaxed after her death.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I listened to the girls. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
My heart hurt a little. They seemed to be right. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Even if Sean misunderstood me, would he just be glad that one of his troubles had gone? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I felt a little sad to think about it. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
In order to read the report on the Internet, I ordered a cup of juice in the coffee shop. Then I connected to the wireless network and turned on my cell phone and used keywords to search for news about the ship that was on fire. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
