嗨，我是那個在英國當了一年學生，現在變社畜，還順便把一個在倫敦長大的英國男友也「打包」回家的Otter！
很多人對英國人的印象是：紳士、有禮，但是不是有點悶騷？ 確實！英式浪漫不像美劇那樣熱烈直白，但當他們把甜言蜜語藏在最日常的生活細節裡時，那種沉穩的溫暖簡直讓人融化。今天就來分享我的英國男友說過、讓我至今都甜到心坎裡的幾句話：
情境1： 他剛結束一整天的班，在雨天走路回家，進門時看起來筋疲力盡。我正在廚房準備晚餐，他看到我就這樣說... Even if I had a bad day, it wouldn't matter, because I come home to see you.
情境2： 某次我們聊到對彼此的第一印象和為什麼喜歡對方。他是這樣回答的， When I first met you, I found you very honest, confident, funny and comfortable within yourself. I also liked the way you would fix your bag on your shoulder and how you would cross the road.
情境3： 我們在 Waitrose 採購當周的食材，他知道我喜歡吃鮭魚，就拿了嚴選版本的放進購物車裡，隨口說出：Only the best quality salmon for you. 雖然這只是一片鮭魚，但這句話完美體現了他對我的寵愛：「在日常生活中，你值得最好的。」
情境4： 碩士畢業典禮當天，我們跟朋友吃完晚餐，在回家的Uber上，他突然對我說在穿上碩士袍的時候，周圍的朋友們 (Everyone was) looking at you with a big smile on their faces, because you light up the room.
情境5： 我回台灣待幾週，在遠距離視訊時，他說，I miss you and I really want to kiss you now.
情境6： 睡前他打開我的晚霜，聞了一下後準備睡覺，我問他為什麼要聞我的東西，他說，I love this night cream because it reminds me of you.
情境7：主臥室的大衣櫃有6扇門，他在我剛從台灣搬來時說，我把4格都清空了，這些都給你放你的衣服，空間不夠的話也可以用我這兩個衣櫃的剩餘空間，我問他：「所有空間都給我用？這樣對你不會不公平嗎？」他很溫暖的回，Seeing your things in my room makes me happy.
Here are some of the sweetest things my British boyfriend has ever said to me — little moments that still make my heart melt to this day
Scenario 1:
He’d just finished a long shift and walked home in the rain. He came through the door looking exhausted. I was in the kitchen making dinner, and the moment he saw me he said: “Even if I’d had a bad day, it wouldn’t matter — because I come home to see you.”
Scenario 2:
We were once talking about our first impressions of each other, and why we liked one another. This was his answer: “When I first met you, I found you very honest, confident, funny, and comfortable within yourself. I also liked the way you’d fix your bag on your shoulder… and even the way you crossed the road.”
Scenario 3:
We were doing our weekly shop in Waitrose, and he knows I love salmon. He picked up the fancy, top-quality one and dropped it into the trolley, saying casually: “Only the best quality salmon for you.”
It was just a piece of salmon, but that sentence summed up how he treats me — like I deserve the best even in the small things.
Scenario 4:
On the day of my master’s graduation, after dinner with friends, we were in the Uber heading home when he suddenly said: “When you put on your gown, everyone was looking at you with a big smile… because you light up the room.”
Scenario 5:
When I went back to Taiwan for a few weeks, we were doing long-distance video calls. One night he said: “I miss you, and I really want to kiss you right now.”
Scenario 6:
Before bed, he opened my night cream, sniffed it, and put it back. I asked him why he always smelled my stuff and he said: “I love this night cream because it reminds me of you.”
Scenario 7:
Our main bedroom wardrobe has six doors. When I first moved here from Taiwan, he said he’d emptied four sections for me. He even told me I could use the leftover space in his two if I needed more. I asked, “All that space just for me? Won’t that be unfair to you?” He smiled and said: “Seeing your things in my room makes me happy.”
