About Cheek- kiss (2018.11.3, Cloudy, Guangzhou)

Today, I kissed the third man in the world, Alberto. First one is my husband, second one is Pierluigi.

The first time I kissed Pierluigi was in 2017 autumn, Pierluigi and Emmanuel visited our Shanghai office, after meeting, kissed goodbye. When I kissed Pierluigi, my face turing red, heartbeat quicken, it's the first time I kissed another man. Before this cheek-kiss, I never kissed another man except my husband, even my father.

I never kissed my father , because I was scared of him. He likes drinking and shouting since I have memory. Maybe father didn't like baby girls when he was a young father, even my sisters and me always got A from school, he never smiled to us. Now, he is 70 years old, retired, still drinking everyday, shouting sometimes, smiles to us sometimes, I am not scared of him any more, but I still don't kiss him. I love him, respect him, but can't kiss him, it's my habit to keep certain distance with him, This habit is since I was a little girl, and last now. And it's my elder sisters habits too.

The cheek-kiss with Pierluigi was a magic kiss. During that business meeting, I was very nervous and worried something, because I definitely would like to build long term business relationship with Pierluigi and Emmanuel, they are not only very professional , but also very nice, they are ideal customer, but I was young and not so professional at that moment, and my English is not good either. After meeting, Emmanuel and Pierluigi asked " can I kiss you",  then I kissed them, the feeling was so good, I never forget, because after that kiss I have a strong feeling that there are not only business relationship between us, but also friendship. I searched information about Italian cheek-kiss from Internet, all the information states that once Italian people kiss you means you are friends. That made me very happy.

As a shy girl, I seldom express my feeling to other people, but really want to express this feeling to Pierluigi, about the cheek-kiss. Maybe someday in the future, I will tell him.
