Chapter 47 (2/2)

”You can say I'm not well, I don't mind.” Mom thought of an excuse because she just wanted to be close to each other.

”It's not convincing.” Karenin said, but in the end, she acquiesced in Anna's intimacy.

They went into the theater without booking a box. At this point, the two men are somewhat astonishing in agreement.

For Karenin, the narrow space does not give him a sense of security.

If the space is too small, the attack becomes more convenient. The larger the scope of control, the clearer the target.

Anna likes to be part of the group.

After they were seated, they had ten minutes to go.

Some of Karenin's colleagues said hello to him, most of them were higher than Karenin, because on the one hand, in Petersburg, there were not many people at this age who could sit in this position. On the other hand, high-ranking officers usually prefer to sit in the box with strong sex.

After they exchanged greetings, those people would stop disturbing them, but most of them would secretly look at Anna. After all, there was a 14-year-old difference between them, and Mrs. Karenin was really beautiful.

Karenin liked the open heights.

He likes the feeling that his eyes can see the whole scene, and he likes to protect his back. Therefore, he fully understands those who secretly look at the line of sight.

”Unqualified investigation.”

”All the inner activities are written on the face.”

”I can't believe how the Ministry of foreign affairs can get such round headed people in.”

……

He had thought that he would turn these things in his mind, but in fact, Karenin's eyes just fell on his wife, just like those eyes.

”The show has two minutes to go,” Karenin thought distractedly. The vision is still interwoven in his wife. She looks young and beautiful. Her lips are plump and small. When she smiles, she will show her white and small teeth. If you have any idea, you can still see the pupil which is like the color of tile gray pigeon from those curved eyes.

He watched his wife's expression change from cheerfulness, then frowned slightly. It was a minute before the show started.

For most people, a minute is a minute of small talk, meaningless. But for people like Karenin, one minute may have determined the tax revenue of a township next year.

He spent a minute staring at his wife, thinking nothing, then, as she frowned, he dropped the meaningless gaze and began to do the most practical things for her.

”What's the matter?” Karenin asked.

Anna is close to each other, this time not for fun. She whispered in Karenin's ear, ”the people in front of me smoke a lot, but it's nothing. I'll get used to it.”

Karenin was stunned for a moment and then said, ”wait here.”

Anna didn't understand where the other side had gone, and now it was half a minute before the performance began.

Twenty seconds later, Karenin came back.

He sat down and handed Anna a handkerchief.

”Take it and smell it. It'll feel better.”

The taste of vinegar is not strong, and there is an abbreviation of Karenin's name on the handkerchief, which was given to him by Anna. The owner is very fond of it, so that there is not a trace of wrong lines in the name.

”Thank you, Alexis.” Anna said, somewhat moved.

She knew that most husbands would not do things like this. Most of them think that women should overcome such pettiness, rather than tell you with action - you can be coquettish, because I will solve everything for you.

”No need to apologize, Anna.” Karenin whispered, ”next time we'd better go to the box.”

”All right, Alexis.” Anna replied with a smile. After she answered, the show began.
