”Matthew, I didn’t think you were such a golden retriever. I always thought you were just a workaholic with no emotions. Everyone is so scared of getting close to you that they have to step back a bit when they see you.”
Clearly missing the point, Matthew asked in confusion, “You're calling me a golden retriever?”
Lucy chuckled. “Do you really not know what that means? I’m not going to explain it to you. Look it up yourself! Don’t just work during your free time. Go out and have some fun, like us young people.”
Matthew was puzzled. “Lulu, what are you talking about?”
Was Lucy calling him old?
“Matt, don’t take this the wrong way, but you have the hobbies of middle-aged and elderly people even though you’re only in your 20s. You have no youthful energy at all.
"How can you bury yourself in work all day? Not only is it bad for your health, but you’re also so disconnected from the world, making your life so dull.”
That was Lucy’s first impression of Matthew. Even after they got married, Lucy always felt that Matthew was like a flower on top of a mountain. Everyone admired its beauty, but it was unattainable, so it could only be admired from a distance.
Although Matthew was focused on his work, he was still aware of the rumors and gossip about himself in the company.
Many called him the Beautiful Demon. He had a face that could captivate people’s hearts but a personality that drove people away. Some even wished they could talk to him from ten feet away just to ensure their own safety.
“You enjoy classical music, don’t you? I’ve known this for some time. The other day, I saw all those classical music cassette tapes you had tucked away in the study. I bet you’ve forgotten about them. They’re just collecting dust at home.
"How about we attend a classical music concert together after the festival?”
Lucy’s suggestion surprised Matthew. He did not expect her to understand him so well, but given Lucy’s fondness for rock music, would she enjoy classical music?
“Aren’t you a big fan of rock music? Are you sure you’ll be able to enjoy classical music?”
“Are you underestimating me? I love all kinds of music, whether it's fast or slow, as long as it’s pleasant to the ears. Besides, even if I’m not particularly fond of classical music, as long as I’m with you, I’d be more than willing to go.”
