He met her at a party. At that time, she was young and beautiful, with many pursuers around her, but he was a very ordinary person. So when he invited her to have coffee after the party, she was surprised. However, out of politeness, she agreed.
Sitting in the coffee shop, the atmosphere between the two people was very awkward. There was no topic. She just wanted to finish as soon as possible so that she could go back. But when the young lady brought the coffee, he suddenly said, "Please bring some salt. I drink coffee with salt." At that time, she was stunned, and the young lady was also stunned. Everyone's eyes were focused on him, so that his face was red
The lady brought the salt. He put some in and drank it slowly. She was a very curious woman, so she asked him curiously, "Why do you add salt?" He kept silent for a while, and said slowly, almost verbatim, "When I was young, my family lived at the seaside, I always soaked in the sea, the waves came, and the sea water poured into my mouth, bitter and salty. Now, I haven't come home for a long time, and salt in my coffee, even a manifestation of homesickness, to bring the distance closer."
She was suddenly moved because this was the first time she heard a man saying homesick in front of her. She believed that a homesick man must be a man who cares about his family, and a man who cares about his family must be a man who loves his family. She suddenly had a desire to talk. She told him about her hometown thousands of miles away. The cold atmosphere gradually became harmonious. The two talked for a long time, and she did not refuse him to send her home.
Later, after two people dated frequently, she found that he was actually a very good man, generous, careful, considerate, in line with the characteristics of all excellent men she appreciated. She secretly congratulated herself that thanks to the courtesy at that time, she did not pass him by. She took him to every caf é in the city, and every time she said, "Would you please bring some salt? My friend likes to add salt to his coffee." Later, as in the fairy tale, "the prince and the princess married, and lived a happy life ever since. They were really happy, and they lived for more than forty years, until he fell ill and died recently.
The story seems to be over, if not the letter.
The letter was written before his death, To her: "Forgive me for cheating you all the time. Remember the first time I invited you to have coffee? The atmosphere was terrible. I was very uncomfortable and nervous. I didn't know how to think about it. I told the lady to bring some salt. Actually, I didn't add salt. Now that I said it, I had to make amends. Unexpectedly, it aroused your curiosity. This time, I drank salty coffee for half my life. I wanted to tell you many times, but I was afraid You will be angry and even more afraid that you will leave me.
Now I'm not afraid, because I'm going to die. Dead people are always easy to forgive, right? It is my greatest happiness to have you in this life. If there is an afterlife, I still hope to marry you. But I don't want to drink salty coffee anymore. You don't know how bad it tastes. How did I come up with salt in my coffee!
The contents of the letter surprised her, and she felt cheated at the same time. However, he did not know how much she wanted to tell him: "She actually knew that he cheated her that time. She was not angry with him. How happy she was that someone could cheat for her all her life
Because of love, he lied for her and became a liar all his life
Because of love, she acted silly for him and became a fool all her life
Some people say that men are liars
It's just that bad men cheat women for a while
But a good man will cheat his woman all his life.
