The moonlight, initially pale yellow, gradually grew bright and pure. The glow of moonlight and the night sky, combined with the reflection off the surface of Boston Harbor, nearly illuminated the hotel room, as if the entire world had been immersed in this dreamlike, pristine white realm.
原本初生淡黄的月光,渐渐变得明亮皎洁,月光与夜空泛光,加上波士顿海湾海面的反光,几乎照亮了旅店房间,仿佛整个世界都沉浸在了这梦幻洁白世界.
Seeing that it was already late at night, Li Haojun wanted to return to his own room to rest. After all, he wasn't yet familiar with Sienna.
看到夜色已深,李皓珺想要回自己房间休息了,毕竟他还不够熟悉西耶娜,
Back in his own room, Li Haojun was already showering. Hot water poured over his head and streamed down his body, like a warm embrace easing the fatigue of the day. The shower's flow occasionally blurred his vision. Through the glass, he saw Sienna watching him from across the room.
回到自己房间,李皓珺已经在冲着淋浴,热水浇在头顶沿着身体流淌,仿佛温暖的抚慰,缓解一天以来的疲劳,淋浴的水流时而模糊视线,透过玻璃看到西耶娜正在对面注视着自己,
Though he was already an old man, Li Haojun didn't feel disadvantaged by being watched like this. On the contrary, this naked honesty seemed to bridge the distance between him and Sienna's heart.
自己已经是老男人了,李皓珺并没有觉得自己这样被注视吃亏,倒是这样赤裸相见的坦诚,似乎在拉近自己与西耶娜内心之中的距离,
Through the glass fogged with moisture, Sienna stood motionless before herself. One could almost feel the rise and fall of her breath, like the tides in the bay. The contours of her body traced a curve as distinct as the line separating sand and sea on the distant horizon.
隔着沾满水汽的玻璃,西耶娜面对自己伫立不动,似乎可以微微感受到她起伏的呼吸,仿佛那海湾中的潮汐,她身体的线条,如同远方地平线上清晰分割沙滩与海水二色的曲线,
Sienna seemed to sense his gaze, suddenly reaching out her arm like a phantom through the bathroom glass, grabbing his hand firmly and saying,
西耶娜似乎察觉到了他的窥视,忽然伸出手臂,如幻影般穿过浴室玻璃,用力拉住他的手,说,
"Ethan, come with me."
"伊森,跟我来,"
In an instant, Li Haojun felt himself being effortlessly lifted into the air by her. He couldn't fathom where she found such strength, nor why his own body felt so light. He hadn't exerted much force to grasp Sienna's hand, yet his body rose with hers. Yet paradoxically,
刹那间李皓珺,感觉丝毫不费力气就被她拉着飞了起来,不知道她为什么有那么大的力气,自己的身体也变得轻盈,因为自己似乎没有使用多少力量握住西耶娜的手,自己的身体就跟随她起来了,可是矛盾的是,
Following behind Sienna, what seemed like a sea breeze blew her long hair forward, making it flutter in the wind. Even her bathrobe billowed dramatically, seemingly blocking Li Haojun's downward view as he trailed behind. He could only feel himself standing barefoot on the sand.
跟在西耶娜身后,似乎是海风,迎面吹散西耶娜的长发,在风中飘扬,就连她的浴袍也被风吹得大幅飞扬,似乎挡住了跟在后面李皓珺向下的视线,他只能感觉到自己似乎是光脚踩在沙滩上,
Holding Sienna's hand, Li Haojun didn't know if he was running or flying, for their steps felt so light—both of them—as if each stride could propel them soaring to unknown heights. All around them was the hazy glow of moonlight, indistinguishable whether it was clouds or mist.
拉着西耶娜的手,李皓珺不知道自己是在跑,还是在飞,因为脚步是那样的轻盈,两个人都是,仿佛每一步都能腾跃到不明高度的空中,环顾四周都是月色的朦胧,不知是云还是雾,
Sienna had been pulling him along for some time now. Finally, it felt as though they were gradually descending from the sky, for the beach below grew increasingly clear. As his feet touched the sand, his running steps seemed to grow heavier and heavier. Li Haojun gradually found himself unable to keep up with Sienna's pace, forced to watch helplessly as she ran farther and farther away. Several times during this, she glanced back in his direction, as if summoning him to follow closely behind her.
被西耶娜拉着手跑出去有一阵子了,终于仿佛是从空中逐渐下降高度,因为看见下方的沙滩越来越清晰,随着脚掌踏在沙滩上,奔跑的脚步似乎也逐渐变得沉重,李皓珺逐渐无法再跟上西耶娜的步伐,只能眼睁睁看着她越跑越远,期间几次她还在回望自己的方向,似乎是在召唤自己紧随她,
Until Sienna vanished from sight, Li Haojun grew genuinely anxious. With no other option, he could only chase after her in the direction she had run, trying to find her again.
直到西耶娜消失在自己的视线之外,李皓珺有点真的着急了,没别的办法,只能沿着她奔跑的方向追下去,试图再次找到她,
This was a narrow stretch of coastal sand, its scenery repeating endlessly along the way. Though he felt no fatigue from running, the slow progress and the worry of time slipping away made Li Haojun feel increasingly restless. The bushes on his left, the sea on his right—Li Haojun tried his best not to dwell on those thoughts.
这是一个狭长的海边沙滩,总是重复着一样的沿途景物,虽然没觉得奔跑的疲惫,但是缓慢的进程,与时间流逝的担忧却让李皓珺倍感焦躁,左侧的灌木,右侧的海水,李皓珺尽量不去往那方面想,
Gradually, the beach seemed to be nearing its end, giving way to a broader, winding coastline. Li Haojun strained to spot that figure on the horizon ahead.
渐渐地,前方似乎就要到了沙滩的尽头,有更宽广蜿蜒的海岸线,李皓珺努力在前方的地平线上寻找那个身影,
There she was, that figure, far off, her back turned to me. Her hair, blown loose, fluttered in the sea breeze. Waves rolled onto the shore with the wind, each carrying spurting spray and the briny scent of the sea. In the moonlight, Xiyena stood on the sand, her feet sinking slightly into the fine grains. Her legs were positioned slightly apart, front and back. Due to the slope of the beach, her front leg was straight, while her back leg bent at the knee, her calf turning out slightly. Supporting herself on the balls of her feet, her heels lifted, her body swaying gently with the sea breeze.
是她,那个身影,远远地,背对着自己,她那吹散的长发,在海风中飘扬.海浪随着海风,一波波涌向沙滩,带着喷薄的浪花与海水的鲜味.月色里西耶娜矗立在沙滩上,脚掌微陷于细砂,双腿前后微微分开,因为沙滩的坡度,前腿直立,后腿膝关节弯曲,小腿略微外翻,前脚掌支撑,脚后跟翘立,随着海风身体微微晃动.
Her arms hung naturally at her sides, elbows tucked close to her graceful waist. With her left leg bearing her weight, her hips shifted leftward to compensate, her left forearm resting against her hipbone, palm turned inward, fingers extended, fingertips lightly touching her thigh. Her right arm was placed on her hip, seemingly pulling her right shoulder down. Her posture was elegant and serene.
她的双臂,自然下垂,两肘紧收在婀娜的腰肢两侧,因为左腿直立承重,腰胯向左偏离身体中线补偿,左手前臂贴在胯骨,手掌内扣,五指伸展,指尖轻触大腿肌肤, 右臂叉腰,似乎也拉低了右肩,身姿优雅恬静,
"Sienna,"
"西耶娜,"
As he approached from behind, carrying the restlessness and worry that had followed him all along, Li Haojun softly called her name.
当走近她的背后,带着一路追寻而来的焦躁与忧虑,李皓珺轻轻呼唤她的名字,
Sienna turned around—it was her, a smile on her face. Whether it was for the freedom to run wild, the serenity of merging with the vast world, or the joy of having found a heart that sought and cherished her,
西耶娜转回头,是她,脸上带着微笑,不知道是为了可以肆意奔跑的自由,还是融入广阔天地的坦然,亦或是拥有了一颗追索和牵挂她的心,
"The water's dangerous, and I can't swim. If anything happens, I won't be able to keep you safe," Li Haojun said, taking her left hand in his right while wrapping his right arm around her waist. He slowly backed away, retreating step by step toward the higher ground of the beach behind them.
"水边危险,我不会游泳,万一有什么意外我没有能力保证你的安全,"一边说着,李皓珺右手拉着她的左手,右手搂着她的腰,慢慢后退,往身后更高的海滩位置倒退着走,
Sienna remained silent as she followed him a few steps before growing mischievous. She wrapped her arms around Li Haojun's neck, halting her movement. Dragged along the sandy shore, her upper body pressed against his chest. In the moonlight, her large eyes seemed as deep and profound as emerald pools, gazing intently into Li Haojun's eyes.
西耶娜也不说话,跟着走了几步就调皮起来,她双手搂着李皓珺的脖子,停止了脚步,被拖行在沙滩上,上半身已经靠在李皓珺胸前,那双大眼睛,在月色中,仿佛深碧的潭水一样深沉,望着李皓珺的眼睛,
Li Haojun stopped, worried the sand might rub raw the skin on her feet. He asked,
"Why aren't you walking? Don't cut your feet."
李皓珺停了下来,他担心沙粒会磨破她双脚的皮肤,问,
"你怎么不走了,别割破了脚,"
Are you afraid my feet will get cut? " Sienna re-read Li Haojun's words, as if questioning them. As she spoke, she lifted her right leg and rested it against the side of Li Haojun's body. With her right hand, she pulled Li Haojun's left hand over, wrapping it around the hollow of her knee. Then she said nothing, but Li Haojun understood—she wanted him to hold her like he had when dancing with Qin Wenjing in Richland.
"你怕我的脚被割破吗?"西耶娜重读着李皓珺的话语,好像在询问,说着,她抬起右腿靠在李皓珺的身体一侧,用自己的右手拉过李皓珺的左手,搂着自己大腿的膝窝,然后什么也没说,但是李皓珺意识到了她想要自己像在里奇兰与覃文静跳舞那样拉着她,
Li Haojun smiled and didn't refuse, dragging her back two steps before realizing something was off—since Sienna was barefoot and Tan Wenjing was wearing high heels. He said,
李皓珺笑着没有拒绝,拖着她倒退走了两步又意识到不对,因为西耶娜是赤脚,覃文静是有高跟鞋的,便说,
"No way. Aren't you afraid that foot will get cut by the gravel?"
"不行,你那只脚就不怕被砂石割伤吗?"
"Oh, you're afraid it might get cut, aren't you?" Sienna said softly and gently. As she spoke, she wrapped her arms more tightly around Li Haojun's neck, her large eyes blinking as she watched his reaction.
"哦,你怕它被割伤是吗?"西耶娜柔和轻缓地说,说着,她更加用力地用双手搂住了李皓珺脖子,那双大眼睛眨呀眨,观察着他的反应,
Li Haojun said nothing, merely smiling as he wrapped his right arm around her left leg too. She seemed to be mimicking how others behaved in his memories, trying to coax him. He'd just hold her and hurry away from the water's edge.
李皓珺没说什么,只是笑着用右手也搂住了她的左腿,她似乎在学着自己记忆里别人的样子,在跟自己撒娇,就抱着她尽快离开水边吧,
After leaving the steeper slopes of the shoreline behind and walking on the flatter, safer sand, Li Haojun seemed to relax more, beginning to discern the direction.
远离更大坡度的海边后,走在更平坦安全的沙滩上,李皓珺似乎也更加放松了,开始辨别方向,
This was a narrow, elongated island beach. Li Haojun wasn't sure if the island connected to the mainland in the direction they had come from, so he carried Sienna in his arms as he walked back along the road, observing his surroundings. Every so often, he would glance down at her.
这是一个狭长的岛屿海滩,李皓珺也不清楚这个岛屿在来的方向上是否连接着大陆,只好在胸前抱着西耶娜向着回去的路边走边观察,时不时地低头看看她,
Her cheek pressed against her chest, the sea breeze scattering her hair to cover the other side of her face. Moonlight seemed to dye her golden locks silver, while her usually warm complexion turned pure white and cold as frozen cream beneath the moon's glow.
她侧脸贴在自己胸前,海风吹散她的秀发遮住她另一侧的脸颊,月光似乎把她的金发染成了银色,她平时温润的肤色也在月色中洁白冷酷如凝脂,
Li Haojun carried her along the beach, gradually losing the strength he'd had at the start. Sienna slid slowly down his body, as if asleep, merely draping her arms around his neck. She no longer clung to him tightly, bearing her weight as she had at the beginning.
李皓珺抱着她走在沙滩上,逐渐没了开始的体力,西耶娜在沿着自己的身体缓缓下滑,她好像睡着了一样,只是把双臂搭在李皓珺的脖颈,并没有像一开始那么用力地搂着自己承担她的体重,
"Sienna, come down, okay? Come down and walk on your own?" Li Haojun urged her in her ear as he walked, because he simply couldn't carry her anymore—she kept slipping down.
"西耶娜,下来好吗,下来自己走吧?"李皓珺在她耳边一边走一边催促,因为自己实在抱不动她了,她一直在滑落,
At some point, Li Haojun suddenly realized he seemed to have become one with her. The evening breeze no longer carried its refreshing chill; the barrier between their skin had vanished. The sleeping Sienna was so beautiful, so serene beneath the pure, ethereal moonlight. Yet... yet wasn't this all too abrupt?
不知什么时候,李皓珺忽然发现自己似乎已经和她融为一体了,晚风中清爽已经不再,肌肤间的隔阂已经难觅,沉睡的西耶娜是那样的美好,纯净空冥的月色里是如此惬意,可是,可是这是不是太过唐突?
It seemed as though Li Haojun's ordinary consciousness had temporarily departed, leaving only his subconscious in control—that true self governed solely by the purest desires of the id, unburdened by societal norms. Yet when the awareness of his ordinary social persona returned, Li Haojun began to feel he shouldn't have acted this way. How could he have done such things? How could he treat Sienna like this, when they had only just met?
似乎李皓珺的平常意识刚才离去了,到现在都只有他的潜意识在掌管自己,那个没有任何社会规则,只有本我最纯粹的意愿那个真我,然而当这个平常的社会人小我的意识归来后,李皓珺就开始觉得自己不该这样了,我怎么做了这些?才刚刚认识不久的西耶娜,怎么可以这样?
When the pressure of self-moral condemnation outweighed the weight pressing down on her, Li Haojun tried to escape by waking herself up. No, this isn't real. It's a dream. This isn't real. I'm dreaming.
当自我道德诋毁的压力超过了她体重的压力,李皓珺试图逃避唤醒自己,不,这不是真的,这是一个梦,这不是真的,这是我在做梦.
As if the illusion shattered within his own thoughts, Li Haojun suddenly awoke from the dream. Looking around, he found himself sitting on a garden bench. Indeed, it had all been a dream.
似乎幻境就在自己的念力中破碎了,李皓珺忽地从梦境中醒来,环顾左右,发现自己坐在花园的长椅上,果然刚才是一个梦,
This is a rose garden, where climbing roses have been pruned into a maze-like living wall, lush with foliage. dotted sparingly with pale pink rose blossoms. Rising above head height, the wall frames glimpses of the night sky beyond—moonless and starless. The dim, amber glow from the courtyard lamp beside the bench casts the deep darkness overhead in a rich, dark brown hue. Surrounded by the plant wall, only the immediate space around the lamp posts was illuminated by this light.
这是一个蔷薇花园,藤本的蔷薇植被修剪成了迷宫一样的植物墙,枝叶繁茂,墙里零星点缀着淡粉色的小朵蔷薇花,植物墙高过人顶,视线越过墙头可见暗夜长空,没有月亮,没有星辰,被长椅旁边的庭院柱灯昏黄的灯光,把头顶的暗夜深空染成了深棕色,环顾四周,被植物墙围绕,只有这灯光照亮了灯柱周边的咫尺空间,
Looking down at my feet, I was startled to find a woman in a long dress lying asleep on the bench, her head resting on my thigh. It was Sienna. The evening breeze carried the sweet scent of roses—a fragrance worthy of her, who seemed to be in the prime of her youth.
低头四顾脚下,赫然发现一位长裙女子正头枕着自己的大腿,躺在长椅上沉睡,是西耶娜,晚风带来蔷薇的清香,仿佛正处于花样年华的她所值得的芬芳,
She wore a deep crimson gown—or perhaps it was crimson, for in the night's gloom and the dim lamplight, it appeared darker, leaning toward a purplish brown. Black velvet appliqués adorned the hem, waistline, cuffs, and collar, creating a striking contrast against the crimson.
她身着一条绛红色长裙,应该是绛红色,因为在夜色和昏黄灯光中更显暗淡偏棕紫色.长裙的裙角,腰部和袖口领口是黑色植绒面料色块图形,黑与红对比鲜明,颇有神秘力量感,头戴同款黑边绛红装饰蝴蝶结,在一边的金发用正黄,翠绿和绯红彩色发带编了几条细细的长辫子,滑落在脖颈之间,
Li Haojun removed his shirt, folded it into a pillow shape, and placed it beneath Sienna's head. Rising to face the bench, he knelt on one knee, gazing intently at her features. She slept as deeply as ever, as if awaiting the kiss of true love that would awaken her beautiful life. Yet Li Haojun, already bound to another, dared not shoulder such a weighty responsibility. Still, filled with tender affection, he could only admire her innocence and sweetness while she slept.
李皓珺脱下上衣,叠成了枕头的形状,垫在西耶娜的头下,自己起身面向长椅,单膝跪地,面对面地端详着西耶娜的容貌,她睡得依旧是那么的深沉,仿佛在等待属于她的真爱之吻,唤醒属于她的美丽人生,可是已经有伴侣的李皓珺并不敢,担此重任,却又心怀怜爱,只好在她沉睡的时候欣赏她的纯真与甜美,
Sienna lay sideways on the bench, its flat horizontal surface stretching the contours of her right side into a straight line. In contrast, the curves along her left side became all the more pronounced.
西耶娜侧身躺在长椅上,长椅横向平坦的表面把她的身体右侧线条拉到了同一直线,相对应的,就是她身体左侧线条曲线对比更加明显,
Her right shoulder leaned inward against the chair's backrest, her right arm pressed behind her, her right breast pressed against the bench's surface. Her left shoulder sloped forward, hanging naturally, her left forearm resting flat on the bench. Her narrow shoulders, combined with the relaxed, diagonally symmetrical position of her shoulders, added greatly to her gentle, ladylike demeanor.
她的右肩靠里抵在椅子靠背,右臂被压在身后,右胸抵触长椅平面,左肩前倾自然下垂,左前臂平放在长椅上,她窄的肩宽,加上斜角对称放松的肩头位置,平添了许多她的淑女温婉气质,
Her sleeping body lay completely relaxed, her right side pressed flush against the bench's surface. Lying on her side, her legs were slightly bent, her left knee resting naturally behind her right. The long skirt hugged the curves of her thighs, extending down to her hips and waist, beautifully accentuating the sensual, feminine contours of her figure.
她熟睡的身体彻底放松了,腰部位右侧贴在长椅平面毫无缝隙,她侧躺的双腿微曲,左膝盖自然放在右膝后侧,长裙包裹着她的大腿线条,一直到臀胯,又到腰肢,很好的体现了她身材女性特质性感的一面,
After admiring this sleeping beauty for quite some time, Li Haojun finally thought to explore his surroundings. Had my home been remodeled? Or was this somewhere else entirely? Stepping away from the light cast by the courtyard pillar lamps, he ventured down the passageway between the plant walls, exploring both directions. He discovered nothing but maze-like right-angle turns.
欣赏了这位睡美人好一阵子,这时李皓珺才想到要探索一下周围环境,是我的家改造了吗?还是别的什么地方?离开庭院柱灯照亮的地方,沿着植物墙之间的通道,向两边分别探索了一下,发现都是迷宫一样的直角弯,
But with Sienna weighing heavily on his mind, Li Haojun turned back immediately. He'd wait until dawn. He couldn't bear to lose her again—the despair and confusion of that last search had been more than enough.
但是惦记着心中的西耶娜,李皓珺马上就折返了,还是等天亮再说吧,他可不想再次失去她,那一次找寻的失落与彷徨已经足够了,
Returning once more to the bench illuminated by lamplight, he stood at Sienna's feet, admiring her as she lay sprawled across the seat—shoulders tilted forward, hips thrust back, waist twisted, legs crossed. She slept as deeply as ever, and Li Haojun began to worry she might be crushing her own arm, or that the bench's hard surface was bruising her elbows and hips.
再次回到那灯光照亮的长椅边,站在西耶娜脚下的位置欣赏长椅上平躺的她,肩前倾,胯后靠,扭转的腰肢,错落的双腿,依旧睡得那样深沉,李皓珺甚至开始担心她压疼了自己的胳膊,或者长椅模板硌疼了肘胯,
At that moment, Li Haojun noticed several blooming roses beside the bench near Sienna's head. He walked over and bent down to examine them—they appeared to be red roses, though he couldn't quite tell if they were bright red or deep crimson. Crouching down, he glanced at the sleeping Sienna. It was truly a scene of flowers complementing a beauty.
这时李皓珺留意到在西耶娜头部一侧的长椅旁,几枝月季正在盛开.走过去俯身观察,应该是红月季,正红或者是暗红看不太清楚,李皓珺又蹲下身,看了看熟睡的西耶娜,正是鲜花配美人,
He brought his nose close to the flower, inhaling its fragrance in the evening breeze, then returned to Sienna's side and pressed his nose against hers.
他把鼻子凑到花前,闻了闻晚风中花朵的清香,又回到西耶娜面前,把鼻子凑到跟前,
At that moment, Sienna opened her eyes—completely without warning. Their gazes locked, their lashes nearly touching, startling Li Haojun so much he let out a startled cry.
这时西耶娜睁开了眼睛,毫无征兆的睁眼,四目相视几乎碰到睫毛,把李皓珺吓了一跳,不由得啊地喊出声来,
Li Haojun flinched back in alarm, then stared wide-eyed once more. By then, dawn had broken, sunlight streaming into the room. In the distance, the distant wail of a ship's horn seemed to drift in—likely from a vessel at sea.
急忙后闪,惊魂未定的李皓珺再睁大眼睛看,这时天已大亮,阳光照入房间,远处似乎有船舶航行的汽笛声,应该是海船,
Boston. Li Haojun suddenly remembered—he'd been caught in a double-layered dream. This was a Boston hotel, not the Rose Garden or the moonlit beach. He and Sienna had just wrapped up their East Coast client maintenance work, and today should have been their return trip.
波士顿,李皓珺想起来了,自己原来做了个二重嵌套梦,这里是波士顿的旅馆,这里不是蔷薇花园,也不是月夜海滩,自己刚刚和西耶娜完成了东海岸维护客户关系的工作,今天应该是返程了,
On the way back to the airport, Sienna remained mostly silent. Li Haojun simply followed behind her in silence, watching her gait and the way she walked from behind.
返程去机场的路上,西耶娜也没怎么说话,李皓珺只是默默地跟在她的身后,在背后看着她走路的身姿与步态,
It wasn't until they boarded the return flight and sat across from each other again that Li Haojun finally told her,
直到上了返程飞机,二人再次对面落座,李皓珺才对她说,
"I had a dream,"
"我做了个梦,"
Sienna smiled.
西耶娜笑了,
"Are you going to tell me?"
"你是要讲给我听吗?"
I'm just a little curious—when I'm dreaming, can you sense it?
"我就是有些好奇,我做梦的时候,你能感觉到吗?"
"No, I was sleeping too," Sienna replied bluntly.
"没有,我也在睡觉,"西耶娜很干脆地给出了回答,
"Oh," Li Haojun replied, not continuing the conversation.
"哦,"李皓珺答应着,并没有继续交谈,
"Aren't you going to tell me?" Sienna pressed with a smile.
"怎么你不打算讲给我听了吗?"西耶娜笑着追问,
"I—" Li Haojun hesitated before saying,
"我,"李皓珺犹豫了一下说,
"It's really no big deal."
"其实也没什么,"
At that moment, Sienna stopped smiling and spoke calmly,
这时西耶娜不笑了,平静地说,
Whether you speak of it or not, it has already happened.
"你讲与不讲,它都已经发生了,"
Li Haojun, upon hearing her say this, immediately followed up with a question.
李皓珺听她这么说,就紧跟着问,
"Did you make me have those dreams?"
"是你让我做了那些梦吗?"
"No, I didn't force you to do or not do anything in the dream. I just pulled you into it."
"不是,我没有强迫你在梦里做什么和不做什么,我只是把你拉进了梦里,"
"So, is the you in my dreams real?"
"那么,我的梦里的你是真实的吗?"
"Hmm,"
"嗯,"
"So you were there for everything that happened back then, and you know all about it, right?"
"就是说,当时的一切,你都在场,你都知道,是吗?"
"That's about right," Sienna said, staring expressionlessly at Li Haojun as if studying his reaction.
Li Haojun hesitated for a moment before asking,
"What exactly happened?"
"差不多是这样,"说完,西耶娜面无表情地看着李皓珺,似乎是在观察他的反应,
李皓珺犹豫了一会儿,问,
"So, is the me in my dreams the real me, or is the me right now the real me?" After saying this, Li Haojun added,
"那么,梦里的我是真实的我,还是现在的我是真实的我?"说完,李皓珺又补充道,
"I mean, in terms of personality, which one of me is the real one, because—" he paused,
"我是说人格方面,哪个我才是真实的,因为,"说着,他停顿了一下,
"Because the two of us seem to have different levels of self-control," she said with a sheepish smile.
Sienna smiled too.
"因为两个我,在自制力方面似乎不太一样,"说完惭愧一笑,
西耶娜也笑了,
"Both are the real you."
"两个都是真实的你,"
I ask you this: If there were no constraints of morality, financial circumstances, or social relationships—if every beautiful woman you met fell for you and all of them were willing to be your wife—would you accept them all?
"我问你,假如没有道德,经济条件,人际关系等方面的约束,你遇到的每一个美女都喜欢你,她们都愿意一起做你的老婆,你愿意接受所有人吗?"
Li Haojun chuckled at the suggestion. Sienna had prepared a thought experiment for him.
"I'm willing," Li Haojun replied with a smile.
李皓珺一听也笑了,西耶娜给他准备了一个思想实验,
"我愿意,"李皓珺笑着回答,
Alright, this answer is the real you, right? And it's the choice every man would make. Now you don't have to carry any mental burden anymore, right?
"好了,这个回答是真实的你,对吧,并且是每个男人都会做出的选择,现在你不用再有任何思想负担了,对吧?"
"Alright, thanks for your advice," Li Haojun said, reaching out to take Sienna's hand and pulling it toward him. He gazed into her eyes and gently kissed her fingers.
"好吧,谢谢你的开导," 李皓珺说着,伸手拉着西耶娜的手,到自己面前,望着她的眼睛,轻轻亲吻了她的手指,
Though he still harbored some inner turmoil about whether she knew of their intimate moments together, even within the dreamlike virtual world, Li Haojun felt his attachment to Sienna deepening with each event and interaction.
虽然多少在内心还是纠结于她是否知道与自己发生的亲昵的情景,可即便是梦幻的虚拟世界里的经历,李皓珺依然感受到了自己内心对西耶娜的牵挂正在随着这些事件和互动加深.
