One big and one small are practicing love

When Zuo Kunmin heard this without warning, his heart suddenly softened, and he sighed deeply and said: "I don't want to either. I couldn't let go of the children when I was on business trips, and now I have you again. But There is no way, the work has reached this point, I have to finish it."

"Can't you go to Beijing by plane? How long will you stay in Germany? When can you go back to Beijing?" Liu Xiaochen asked.

"I flew to Shanghai because I and my team were going to study there for a few days. I stayed in Germany for about a month, buying equipment, training and learning. When I came back from Germany, I couldn't go back to Beijing directly. I had to go back to Shenyang first to settle down the team and Equipment. Back and forth, it will take about two months." Zuo Kunmin said patiently, and at the end, his tone was a little sentimental.

For a long time, the two of them didn't speak, they just leaned closer to each other unconsciously.

After a long time, Liu Xiaochen calmly said one word, "Okay!"

"Okay?" Zuo Kunmin asked. "What's good? What's good?"

"You work hard, the children and I go to school well, we are all fine." Liu Xiaochen said flatly, but tears flowed down uncontrollably, sliding across Zuo Kunmin's skin.

"You're right, why are you crying?" Zuo Kunmin looked down at Liu Xiaochen.

Liu Xiaochen raised his head, looked at Zuo Kunmin with tears in his eyes, and choked with sobs: "Come back soon!"

"Okay!" Zuo Kunmin nodded heavily, then retracted his hand and gently hugged Liu Xiaochen.

The two hugged each other in silence for a while, and Liu Xiaochen suddenly said: "Teacher Zuo, please let go of me. After a long time, you and I both feel uncomfortable, and I can't sleep either."

Zuo Kunmin smiled and let go of Liu Xiaochen.

Liu Xiaochen turned over and turned off the lamp on the bedside table with a click.

"Why did you turn off the light?" Zuo Kunmin asked softly.

"Teacher Zuo, did you know? Before I came to Beijing, I slept alone at home. Not only did I turn on the light, but I also had scissors and fruit knives stuffed under my pillow." As he spoke, Liu Xiaochen grabbed Zuo Kunmin's hand in the darkness. .

"Have you ever had any scary experiences?"

"It was Teacher Wang who asked me to put the knife under my pillow. Half a year after she left, I remember very clearly that on Saturday night, which was also the [-]th day of the second lunar month, the moon was very round and bright. When I was sleeping deeply, I suddenly heard a burst of sound. There was a rustling sound, and I woke up suddenly, and I clearly saw a figure on the apple tree outside the curtain, climbing down the trunk." As he spoke, Liu Xiaochen grabbed Zuo Kunmin's hand harder.

Zuo Kunmin took the initiative to get closer to Liu Xiaochen.

"I was scared and didn't dare to say anything. I thought he might be a thief. He rummaged through the things in the house and left. But then, he pushed directly on the door of the room where I slept. At first it was gentle, then he used force, and then he used his body. Banging the door. I already understood at that time that he was coming for me, and he was an acquaintance. The door was covered with iron bolts, and was supported by a wooden stick and a bucket of water. He knocked it three or five times, and the iron bolts were already gone. Two screws fell out, the bucket was half full of water, and the door was cracked." As he spoke, Liu Xiaochen's voice trembled, and cold sweat broke out on his palms.

Zuo Kunmin took out one hand, hugged Liu Xiaochen, and said, "I am here now, so you are not afraid."

"I had no choice but to cry and beg him. 'My parents and brother are dead, and Teacher Wang has left. Anyway, I have no one to rely on. There are scissors and fruit knives under my pillow. If you really come in, I will Commit suicide immediately. Follow my family.'... I turned on the light, clashed the scissors and the fruit knife, and shouted to him, 'I want to see you clearly before I die, and I will not let you go even if you are a ghost.' After shouting, he stopped banging on the door."

Zuo Kunmin wiped the tears on her face with his hands.

"He didn't leave. He was still standing outside the door. I heard his cough. He must be a middle-aged man. I begged him, 'I know you are not a bad person. We are all from the same village. You hurt me and I will never hurt you for the rest of my life.' My conscience will be troubled. I beg you to let me go and leave through the gate. I will never pursue this matter.' After another moment of silence, he left and walked through the gate."

Zuo Kunmin felt her body trembling, hugged her tightly, and comforted: "Don't be afraid, I will protect you from now on."

That night, they slept together for the first time. Sometimes they hug, sometimes they separate, sometimes they wake up when they hear each other turn over, hold each other's hand, and then go back to sleep.

The next morning, Zuo Kunmin got up early and took care of the children's washing, changing clothes, eating and other trivial matters. Called to postpone the meeting and decided to drive them to the airport in person. He had arranged for a driver to take them there.

When we went out, it was still dark, the wind was cold and the air was humid, as if it was about to snow.

It was warm inside the car, and soon the glass was covered with a layer of moisture. Zuo Xu used his fingers to draw a love pattern on the glass. Zuo Yan wiped a small piece of glass clean and quietly looked at the desolate scenery outside the window. Bian Chang dozed off with his eyes closed.

"After you get off the plane, call Master Zhao and he will take you home. Everything has been arranged at home. When you get home, don't worry about anything and have a good rest." Zuo Kunmin whispered to Liu Xiaochen in the passenger seat.

"I understand, Teacher Zuo. In the refrigerator, I made some food, such as pickled cabbage dumplings, sticky bean buns, braised vegetables, sushi, etc. You can boil them or heat them in the microwave to eat. You must eat three meals on time, and eat them well. Eat, if you can’t finish it, Aunt Liu will help clean it up.”

……

Zuo Kunmin also told the children to listen to Liu Xiaochen's words, eat well, and study hard when they return to Beijing. He also told Bian Chang to stay up late and smoke less. While pursuing art is important, physical health is the first priority.

Chatting, they said a lot of trivial things to each other.

When they arrived at the airport, two staff members were invited to help check in their luggage. Zuo Kunmin accompanied them to check in, and then sent them to the ticket gate. He did not wave goodbye to them until they passed the security check.

Zuo Kunmin stood outside the security railing and watched as the team moved forward, their figures getting further and further away, getting smaller and smaller, until they suddenly disappeared around the corner. Zuo Kunmin felt a sharp pain in his heart, his nose felt sore, and tears rolled down his face instantly.

A picture suddenly broke into Zuo Kunmin's mind.

Outside the iron gate of the kindergarten, a four-year-old child grabbed his mother’s arm and cried heartbreakingly, ‘Mom, I don’t want to go to the kindergarten, I want to find my mother. I want to find my mother. ’ The mother and the kindergarten teacher pulled his little hand away together. The mother dropped her luggage and walked away without looking back.

When we walked out of the airport, we suddenly saw light snow falling in the sky. Zuo Kunmin stretched out his hand to catch a few snowflakes and looked carefully at them. They were crystal clear six-sided snowflakes. Despite the noisy crowd, a faint rustling sound can still be heard.

Why can't happiness last long? Why love separation? Why does the deeper the love, the more painful parting is?

Why does the love in this world have loopholes?
