This is the third date. The content of the first date was dinner together, watching a movie, and saying good night to each other after kissing, and finally he took her to the door of the car and got off. On the second date, the two opened a hotel room. Tonight, she came to his residence, she drove past by herself. They would eat dinner in his house and then go to the movies, everything is very casual. She likes that, it makes her feel comfortable.
When she got here, before she knocked on the door, he opened the door and let her in, as if he had been waiting for her. The whole house was brightly lit, and she could hear the TV and smell the aroma of cooking. He was wearing a novel apron with “Kiss the Chef” written on it.
“This is it,” Jim said, waving his arms into the house. Among men, he is quite tidy, especially for a traveling salesman who runs around the country and rarely stays at home.
Jim looked into her ears and said, “Did you wear earrings? They look so good!” She nodded. In fact, she felt that the style of these earrings was a bit outdated, but Jim liked it very much. “Do you want a drink?” “Of course.” She said as she followed him into the kitchen. The TV made a noise in the other room, and he poured her a glass of wine.
She suggested that they stay at home tonight. Jim stood by the stove, stirring the spaghetti in a pot of boiling water. He turned around and looked at her, “Do you want this?”
“Well, do you have a movie here?” she asked.
“Yes, or we can also order movies on TV.”
“Just do that and go to bed after watching. I can make dinner for me tonight, and make breakfast for me tomorrow morning.”

“Sounds good.” He smiled after he said that. A charming smile that can kill people, “Sounds really good.”
“I hope you think so too.” She said, “Where is the bathroom?”
“Go to the end of the aisle and turn to the left.” She walked to the bottom of the aisle, turned a corner, and opened the door on the left. She missed the bathroom. The one she entered was actually the bedroom, and she was about to go out, but saw a drawer of the dressing table slightly open. He loves neatness, but it doesn’t seem so neat here. On the other hand, she has a strong curiosity about the opened door and drawer. She walked over briskly and began to push the drawer close. Suddenly she saw what was blocking the drawer, it was an ear!
She took a deep breath, thinking that it was definitely not an ear. After slowly opening the drawer, she clearly saw a thread running through her ear. She pulled the thread out of the drawer, and there was a lot of dry thread hanging on itHis ears also exudes a faint peculiar smell, like a mixture of rotten smell and the smell of pickles. They have taken some anti-corrosion measures, but the flesh still cannot resist the tendency of corruption. One ear shone slightly.
“It was left over from the war,” he said. She turned around, startled. Jim stood at the door with his head down, staring blankly at his apron. “My brother is a soldier and he was sent to the battlefield in Afghanistan. He brought these things with him when he returned home. It sounds weird, but when he died, I didn’t know what to do with these things. I kept them. At the time, I I think I should put it away, I should just throw it away.”

“It’s scary.” She put her ears back in the drawer while she was talking, and quickly close.
“Please forgive me, I shouldn’t keep it.”
“He died on the battlefield?” (Uncle Ghost: http:// www.guidaye.com/ please keep the reprint!)
“Cancer. He brought his collection-those ears-back home from the battlefield. Come on, forget about it. I will throw them away.”
She returned to the kitchen, and the two had dinner later. Taking advantage of Jim’s time in entering the study to select movies, she sneaked out of the front door and drove home, trying to remember in her heart whether she had told him where she lived, and then she thought, even if she hadn’t said it, now this year, It is not difficult to find out her address.
She felt so stupid in her own home. She fell in love with Jim before she knew who he was.
She finished her drink and went to bed. At midnight, she woke up suddenly. She remembered that Jim had said that he was the only son in the family during their first date, but tonight he said that he had an older brother and that his ears were from Afghan soldiers. Several thoughts hit her like a rain of arrows. Not only did she wake up, she also heard the sound of walking in the room; it was those noises that awakened her. At this time, she remembered that those ears were very small, and there was something slightly shining on one of them. She knew what it was now, it was a woman’s earring! Not much different from the earrings she wore tonight.
At this moment, a soft footstep came from the other room. Then, her bedroom door opened…
