know! I lived happily without it!” “You’re right,” he said to fill the void between them. “To know a lot is a disaster for women’s happiness. He who knows little lives quietly and well…” “You are a ruthless person! You have an answer for everything. There is no warmth in your heart at all.” “I’m looking at the truth, that’s all. In the future, do not strive for knowledge, otherwise you will lose all your friends. People don’t like it when you’re taller than them.” Bagila pulled a handkerchief out of her purse. “I wish I didn’t know you!” She said angrily, but without the previous fury. “You scoff at my every word; it is pleasant for you to watch a person cry.

I came into existence only to explore the charms of girls. If you haven’t been able to understand me in three years, then you’d better leave now. In six years, it will become completely unbearable, you will even regret that you did not immediately run away from me!” Bagila trampled a little at the threshold and, without even waiting for a kind look or gesture from Jasyn,
