She stared blankly at Jim. Doting on her? Cherish her? Love her? Was this what scum Jim could do? No matter which parallel world he fell into, he couldn't do such a thing, could he?
He must be making fun of her. He often did this. If she was a little moved, she would definitely be laughed at to death and despised to go crazy!
"As long as there is a Vinton who loves me in the parallel world, I will choose him without hesitation. As for you, no matter which parallel world you are in, you can't love, cherish or spoil me. You will only mock, despise and talk harsh to me. I won't be fooled by you! " She chuckled, as if she had seen through him.
Jim felt that he was shot.
Was he so bad?
"Heaven pepper." He grabbed her shoulder, unwilling to give up. He could tell that she didn't believe him. "Look at my eyes. I'm serious. I'm not joking with you, and I don't mean to make fun of you."
His reaction startled her.
"Scum Jim, what's wrong with you? Are you still drunk?"
"I'm sober now." Jim took a deep breath. He really wanted to squeeze into the brain of this trilobite and take out all the messy paste to make her smarter.
Eva sat on the sofa, with a hint of sadness on her face. "Scum Jim, your assumption is not valid at all. No matter how many parallel worlds you fall into, you won't fall in love with me. I'm average looking, flat and stupid. From top to bottom, from left to right, from inside to outside, I don't meet your standards for choosing a wife. I know myself well. Don't make fun of me anymore."
Jim picked up the juice on the tea table and took a big sip. He said slowly and emotionally, "love does not have a standard at all. Whoever you fall in love with is your standard. Her appearance is the most beautiful in your eyes. Her simplicity is cute in your eyes, and her clumsiness is innocent in your eyes. You will maximize her merits. You will be more tolerant of her shortcomings."
He looked at her, without blinking, deeply looking at her. She was confused. His gentle eyes shocked her. It seemed that he had never seen her like this before. His charming brown eyes reflected her shadow, only her shadow, as if everything around them did not exist.
But the shadow was so small, just like the humble her at the moment.
In front of her, he would always be the lofty Nine Heavenly Mysterious God. She could only look up at him at a forty-five degree angle. Ordinary people like her would never be able to reach him. It was impossible for his divine light to bath on her.
"Scum Jim, are you reciting the lines?" She grinned at him.
"Forget it. The brain of a trilobite won't understand." Jim sighed.
Eva picked up a black grapes and put it into her mouth. After eating it, she wiped her hands and said, "You, King Jim, is the star in the sky, while me, Eva, is the gorillas on the ground. The stars in the sky are too high and far. Even if they shine brightly, they can't light and warm me, the gorilla on the ground. And no matter how high I climb and how long my hands stretch, I can't take you away."
The corners of Jim's mouth twitched violently. "Then what is Vinton?"
"A big tree, a home for me to rely on, to shelter me from the wind and rain. The happiest thing for a gorilla like me every night is to sit on my tree and look up at you, the star in the sky." Eva's tone was implicit and meaningful.
A strong sense of pain spilled over Jim's handsome face.
'In fact, I can also be a big tree, and accompany you to be a gorilla on the ground!' he thought to himself.
He didn't know whether she understood or not, but he knew that he had no hope, so he didn't say a word.
"I'm leaving, scum Jim. Remember to come to the crew every day and don't drink anymore," she said in a low voice.
Jim drank up all the frozen juice in the bottle in one breath. "Heaven pepper, you don't have to pay off the debt you owe me. From now on, it's written off. We won't owe each other in the future!"
Eva shook violently, "But I haven't paid it off yet."
"You have paid me back." Jim's low voice was like a night wind, with indescribable sadness and loneliness.
Eva looked at him in a daze and didn't know what to do.
Jim squeezed out a smile from his stiff mouth, "I have to adapt to the days without heaven pepper. I can't be influenced by an appetizer."
"Well, it doesn't matter whether there is an appetizer or not. The main dish is the most important." Eva nodded, "If you want to eat dessert in the future, come to our shop."
"I know." Jim forced a smile.
After coming out of the villa, Eva sat in the car for a long time. Her mind was full of Jim's words, his expression and his eyes.
