At first, I was with you simply because I liked you. You were strong, gentle, and understanding. When Yisha and the others sought out other men, I thought they were foolish for leaving a man like you behind. But as time went on, I realized they had made the right choice.
You have your own family, and your greatest love is for them. Throughout the year, aside from the rare moments we spent together during the day, I found myself alone in my room at night, with no one to share my thoughts with. I felt like I was on the verge of breaking down.
What about you all?
He exhaled a puff of smoke and glanced at Marina and Daria. Daria shot him a look while resting her chin on her hands, remaining silent. She felt that this place was quite nice; no one insulted or criticized her, and she didn't have to do any physical labor. If she felt happy, she could spend a few days in the big city; if not, she could just stay home and do nothing. No one bothered her, and every day was filled with food and drink. She didn't want to lose this kind of life!
Marina and the others felt it necessary to clarify their needs with this man, so one by one, they expressed their desires. Most of them were similar: they wanted a complete family but feared gossip from the villagers that might lead them to leave this way of life.
Xu Li stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray and thought for a moment before speaking: "How about this? I'll give you some money to take back home to support your families or save for yourselves. While you're still young, go out and explore. If you meet someone suitable, then build a life together."
"You've wasted your most beautiful years on me. I feel it's necessary to compensate you. I can arrange decent jobs for you in the big city with good pay. If you encounter any difficulties, just give me a call."
Marina and the others lowered their heads in silence. Xu Li sighed: "Staying with me won't lead to any good outcome. The incident with Ivan last summer made me realize that I've been neglecting your feelings, which isn't fair to you."
He stood up to stretch his legs: "Think about it—do you want to continue enduring what seems like an easy life here or bravely seek your own happiness? No matter what you choose, I'll support you. It's not easy to live in this world!"
The man left decisively without any sweet words or tricks to keep them around; he simply offered his advice, showing that he truly cared about their feelings. They were reluctant to part from him, but who would they turn to at night when loneliness struck?
Women confiding in women? Just thinking about it gave them goosebumps. Light conversations were fine, but if they were to delve deeper, they weren't that bold yet.
Walking along the snow-covered village road felt refreshing; he didn't have those prideful notions that once he'd been with women he must remain loyal to them—that was nonsense.
Humans are called humans because they possess independent thoughts and understand their own needs and desires. Why should anyone follow someone without a name? Did he think he was some kind of protagonist from a novel?
Turning around a corner into someone's yard, he spotted a sneaky figure crawling out from inside. In just a few steps, it darted into the roadside bushes. Xu Li squinted and thought, "Isn't that Ivanov's new car from when he got married?"
He lit a cigarette and stood in the middle of the road with his hands on his hips, watching the car across from him as Gennadi Family's Lao San turned on their high beams upon seeing him, startling him into a slight jump.
