He is a person who has a habit of opening his mouth as a trick. The problem is that humor is not always the right one. Once when he attended a wedding, people asked him: "Have you come alone?" He immediately replied: "You can't pick up your lover yet, so go alone to make it healthy, but love is so uncomfortable now" that the couples sitting there were silent. Another time, the neighbor said he didn't understand what he was doing, or had difficulty breathing at night. He laughed, "Uncle and uncle go to the doctor, if you have pneumonia, you can still treat it, but let the cancer go very quickly, like the sister in the neighborhood, and only discovered it a month later and left." Seeing the neighbor's face busy, he said he was joking around but it was too late. He turned around and entered the house and the drinking session from the beginning of the week was immediately canceled. After that incident, he was abrupt and no longer joking, but as if "there was a conditional reflex", he was unlikely to change.
As for her, the habit is to speak long and say slowly. If anyone asks a question, she starts with the reason, then goes through the appendix, then comes to the point; listening is tiring. Once, some close friends said directly: "You say all the things to everyone". She once stuck notebooks on the corner of her home desk and even on her laptop screen to remind herself to be less long-distance. But then every time she opened her mouth, she was playing.
They have been friends since high school and after several years of not being in contact, they met again on a sunny afternoon in a small town. As soon as he met her, he immediately got used to joking: "Oh my god, why are you as old as that old lady in her 60s that you haven't seen for a few years but you thought it would be a century". Seeing her wrinkled face, he laughed: "Hehe, I'm joking, you're always so young."
Then he asked her if her love for intelligence and career is in the fields these days. She quickly started the camera, starting with the guy who loves bearded beards when eating or letting chili sauce stick to beard, old man who sucks a hotpot, wears a wrench hat... It's like a constant, but strangely, the conversation is still a messy and cute thing. He realized that the tricks sometimes help the atmosphere become lighter, just put them in the right place. She also understands that storytelling is a difficult problem to overcome, but not everyone hates it, just know when to take a break.
Habits, after all, not friends. It is just a spiritual fingerprint, difficult to erase but helps us recognize ourselves. He looked at her and she looked at him. Both suddenly saw that change was like planting a tree, you can't just light up and splash a pot right away, but being careless is big.
Who knows, one day, he would say a joke in the right place while she would answer it with the right focus. Because "Everyone will be different as the years pass...".
