She is in a maze, and Charlie continues, &#8220;The first time we met, you covered for me; the second time was you asked for help for your friend? Are there all girls from your city warm-hearted?&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Of course not.&#8221; She smiles embarrassingly, &#8220;No, don&#8217;t think I was calm in the face of those killers two years ago. In fact, I was scared to death.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;I do not believe that.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Charlie looks straight ahead, &#8220;In my opinion, you are very different.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Karin turns to him in shock.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   She takes out a small album from her backpack, &#8220;I&#8217;ll show you a picture of my grandmother.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Charlie stops the car, and looks at the woman in the photo. She is wearing a purple dress, small and exquisite, and sitting in front of the small window with a timid smile on her face.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Look, this is a typical old-fashioned woman in London. She is gentle and subtle, quiet and virtuous.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Karin puts together a photo album, &#8220;So many wonderful women in the world, She is just an ordinary kind woman who is always concerned about others. She lives for love, for affection, for righteousness. But if I can choose, I don&#8217;t want to be such a woman.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Why?&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Because her life is too complicated. It is already sad to not be with her beloved, and it is even more tragedy for her beloved to die.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   She takes a deep breath, &#8220;That will not be my pursuit.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Charlie is shocked by what Karin says.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   He stares deeply at her, speechless for a long time, and thoughtful.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   It seems that the atmosphere is a little embarrassed. Karin changes the subject, &#8220;Do you think women look good in cheongsam?&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   He nods, &#8220;Yes, it has a different charm.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;In my dormitory there is a cheongsam that my mother made for me. I&#8217;ll wear it to you when I have a chance the other day.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Good.&#8221; Charlie grinned.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   As soon as the words come out, she wishes to bite her tongue. At that time, her mother&#8217;s words are still lingering in her ears, &#8220;Karin, Mom doesn&#8217;t make it well. If you wear this cheongsam in front of the person you love in the future, he will laugh at Mom&#8217;s skills.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Did she say she will show herself in a cheongsam? Oh my gosh, forget it&#8230;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   \u000f\u000f\u000f\u000f\u000f\u000f\u000f\u000f\u000f\u000f\u000f\u000f\u000f\u000f\u000f<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The fog in front is heavy, and a ringtone of mobile phone cut through the night&#8217;s silence.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Karin looks at the number, makes a snoring motion towards Charlie, and pressed to answer button.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;What time is it, aren&#8217;t you coming back?!&#8221; Billie asks, almost roaring.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[36],"tags":[],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/extnovel.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2243"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/extnovel.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/extnovel.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/extnovel.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/extnovel.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2243"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/extnovel.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2243\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/extnovel.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2243"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/extnovel.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2243"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/extnovel.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2243"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
