一大早,Pukia就过来找到了常斐然。
Pukia:“Sophia was here yesterday?(Sophia他们昨天来过了?)”
常斐然:“How do you know?(你怎么知道?)”
Pukia:“I told you, I know everything. Is that why you are so behaved?(我早跟你说过了,我什么都知道。这是你表现这么好的原因吗?)”
说着她抬起手就要摸常斐然的脸。他赶紧向后仰了一下,躲了过去。
常斐然:“What are you doing here?(你来干嘛?)”
Pukia:“Can't I just come by? I just wanted to see you. Is that a problem?(我没事不能来吗?就是想看看你,不可以吗?)”
常斐然:“Whatever.(随便吧。)”
他叹了一口气,背过身去收拾起羊圈来。
Pukia;“It's OK. I was going out for a walk. If you don't want to come along, that's fine. I'll be on my way.(没关系,我本来想出去转转,你不想一起就算了。我走了。)”
说着,Pukia作势转身要走。
常斐然:“No, wait. I want to go.(不,等一下,我想出去。)”
Pukia笑了。
Pukia:“It's really addictive, isn't it? Once you’ve had a taste of it, there’s no going back-(这事儿真叫人上瘾对吧。有第一次就想有第二次-)”
常斐然:“Can we go now? Where are we going?(我们可以走了吗?我们去哪?)”
他已经把笤帚簸箕放回了墙角。
Pukia:“Do you want to change into your casual clothes?(你想穿常服吗?)”
常斐然:“Yeah, of course. Can I?(想啊,当然想了,可以吗?)”
Pukia:“If I say so.(如果我说可以的话,当然就可以啦。)”
常斐然跟着Pukia来到了他当初被关禁闭的那幢小楼。还没走近,他便已经望而生畏。
常斐然:“Why are we going there?(我们去那儿干什么?)”
他警惕地问。
Pukia:“To get you clothes(去取衣服啊。)”
常斐然:“You go, I'll wait here.(你去取吧,我就不进去了。)”
Pukia:“What, you are traumatized?(怎么,你阴影啦。)”
常斐然看了她一眼没说话,只是在内心默默翻了一个白眼。
Pukia:“You know what they say in psychology, the best way to deal with fear is to face it head-on. Sure, you might be scared this time, but with a few more trips, you won't feel a thing. Want to give it a shot?(你知道吗,在心理学上说治疗恐惧的最有效方法就是直面恐惧。这次进来也许还会有些怕,但是多进几次就不害怕了,你要不试试?)”
她露出戏谑的微笑。
