One big and one small are practicing love

A frightened cry of "Ah!" pierced the silent darkness.

Zuo Kunmin hurriedly pressed the switch on the bedside, sat up and looked. Squinting through the dazzling light, he saw Liu Xiaochen curled up on the bedside with a pale face.

"What's wrong with you? Xiaoxiao." Zuo Kunmin asked in a mute voice.

Liu Xiaochen took two deep breaths, reached out and smoothed a handful of broken hair from his forehead, shook his head, and said weakly: "I forgot you were by my side. When you touched me just now, I thought someone had entered the house."

After listening, Zuo Kunmin opened his mouth to say something, but said nothing. Just open your arms and hug her. After hugging her, I realized that the cotton nightgown on her back was a little damp. When I touched it, the exposed back of her neck was covered with beads of sweat.

"Lie down quickly, don't catch a cold." Zuo Kunmin hugged Liu Xiaochen and lay down.

After lying down, Liu Xiaochen put a patch on Zuo Kunmin's body and felt his warm skin. Don't speak, just wait for your rapidly beating heart to slowly calm down.

"I'm sorry, being with me for so long has never given you a real sense of security." Zuo Kunmin said suddenly.

Liu Xiaochen raised his head slightly, looked into Zuo Kunmin's eyes, and said in a calm tone: "I'm really just not used to having people around me. We've been together for four years, and this is the third time we've slept together in the same bed."

"So few?" Zuo Kunmin frowned and thought for a moment, then said: "Once in Shenyang, once in Beijing last time... Oh, it seems to be true. It turns out that I am such a scumbag."

Hearing Zuo Kunmin seriously calling himself a 'scumbag', Liu Xiaochen smiled and said: "The first two times, I didn't think there was anything wrong with spending the whole night with you. But after last night, I suddenly understood that spending the whole night with you is nothing. The advantage of sharing a bed at night."

"What?" Zuo Kunmin asked curiously.

"There is no heating in Hangzhou in winter. I have to soak my feet for ten minutes every night to warm myself up when I go to bed at night. Otherwise, half of my body will be cold the next morning. But with you here last night, I was always warm." "

Zuo Kunmin smiled bitterly and said, "You mean, my functions are basically a foot warmer and an electric blanket?"

"It can be understood that way, otherwise, it is really more free and comfortable to sleep alone. In the middle of the night last night, I woke up as soon as you turned over. After I fell asleep, I forgot that you were beside me. As soon as you touched me , I woke up with a fright.”

"So, during this period, you were not with Shen Liang every night?" Zuo Kunmin asked.

Liu Xiaochen pushed Zuo Kunmin and asked, "What do you think?"

"I..." Zuo Kunmin said, looking a little uncomfortable, and whispered: "I saw the marks on your neck. I thought you had already..."

"No!" Liu Xiaochen said with certainty, "I don't have anything to do with him, but it's not because of you. It's just because my relationship with him hasn't matured yet, and you showed up again."

Zuo Kunmin hugged Liu Xiaochen tightly again, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and affirmed softly: "From now on, every night, I will be by your side."

As he said this, Liu Xiaochen's cell phone lit up on the bedside table.

Zuo Kunmin stretched out his long arm and grabbed his mobile phone. He saw that the time was already 7: in the morning, and there was a WeChat message from Du Niang.

"No, your WeChat." Zuo Kunmin handed his cell phone to Liu Xiaochen.

Clicking on it, Du Niang sent a message: ‘Are you awake? Come to the restaurant for breakfast. ’

‘Okay, come over now. ’ Liu Xiaochen replied.

They get up, wash up, change clothes, and go downstairs.

As soon as I went out, my eyes were all white, there were no footprints, and the air was cold. Zuo Kunmin quickly lowered his hand, grabbed Liu Xiaochen's hand, and held it tightly. The two of them walked slowly on the thick snow, "creeping~creeping...".

Arriving at the hot restaurant, Du Niang was serving vegetable porridge and said with a smile: "Xue Da, I didn't let Aunt Fen not come. The breakfast I made is relatively simple."

"Thank you!" Liu Xiaochen said, opening the steamer, and hot white water vapor rose up. The water vapor dispersed slightly, and he saw the food inside, including corn, eggs, steamed buns, etc. Get the tongs and the dinner plate.

Zuo Kunmin was at the side, carrying plates, and the porridge, food, and side dishes they served were placed on the dining table one by one.

After setting up breakfast, the three of them ate quietly. Occasionally, a few birds chirping could be heard outside the window.

After the meal, Du Niang said: "Don't leave, stay for a while, let's drink tea together. I have a few words to say to you."

The three of them were busy together. Washing dishes, cleaning pots, and cleaning. Move the small red clay stove to the dining table, light a fire, boil water, make tea, and roast small oranges and chestnuts.

Du Niang said calmly: "I decided to temporarily close the healing center and take a year's rest."

"Why?" Liu Xiaochen asked in surprise.

"On the one hand, I have spent a lot of time doing therapy in the past few years. I am really tired both physically and mentally, and I want to rest and adjust. On the other hand, the knots in my heart that have been tied up for many years have been resolved, and I suddenly have motivation and want to explore again. own possibilities.”

Zuo Kunmin asked: "What do you want to do?"

Du Niang shook her head and said: "It's not better yet. I just want to take a walk. The first stop is to go hiking in Tibet."

"Kang Rinpoche?" Liu Xiaochen asked.

"Yes!" Du Niang nodded and said calmly: "I seem to have mentioned it to you. It is said that after turning around this mountain, some unexpected changes will occur in the body and mind. I want to try it."

"Why don't you go to Beijing to see your father?" Zuo Kunmin asked.

Du Niang's calm expression suddenly turned a little melancholy, and she lowered her head and said nothing.

Zuo Kunmin continued: "Your father's hair is all white. Although he looks very energetic, I heard from Zhiming that your father often takes a lot of medicine. Zhiming secretly checked those medicines and they are medicines for treating the liver. You It’s best to take your father and have a thorough check-up.”

Du Niang's eyes turned red, she took a few deep breaths, suppressed her sadness, nodded, and said: "Okay, before turning around the mountain, I will go see my dad first. What about you, what are your plans next."

Zuo Kunmin drank a cup of tea, looked at Liu Xiaochen, and said, "The doctor said that I am not suitable for work now and asked me to rest for two or three months. I plan to take Xiaoxiao back to her hometown and rest there."

"Where are Yanyan and Xiaoxu?" Liu Xiaochen asked anxiously.

Zuo Kunmin said: "I have discussed with Changchang that she will stay in Beijing and take care of her two children. This family is not the responsibility of any one person. We should all bear it."

Du Niang stood up, made hot tea for Zuo Kunmin, took a roasted mandarin orange, peeled it slowly, and said with a smile: "I'm very happy to see your transformation like today. It seems that it's really like yours." In your horoscope, with your Moon in the seventh house of marriage, you can feel content and comfortable in your marriage.”

Zuo Kunmin smiled and said with interest: "Listen to the novel, you know astrology, help me look at my horoscope."

At this time, Du Niang peeled an orange and ate a piece herself. He nodded and said, "Yeah, it's so sweet." Then he divided it into three portions and handed a few pieces to Xiaoxiao first, and then a few pieces to Zuo Kunmin, leaving two pieces for himself.

"I have to pay for reading the astrolabe, and you have to pay extra." Du Niang said seriously.

"Haha." Zuo Kunmin smiled happily and said, "Okay! Later, I will send you a check. You can fill it out as you like."

Du Niang finished the orange in her hand, patted the small meridians on her fingertips, and said in a leisurely manner: "Let me first talk about two important points in your horoscope. First, your sun is in the twelfth house. This means that your soul goal in this life is to contribute to the collective and sacrifice yourself.”

Zuo Kunmin was lowering his head to peel chestnuts. When he heard this, he stopped and looked at Du Niang.

"I don't need to elaborate on this. You have experienced it yourself. You have strong abilities and great responsibilities, and you often forget about your work. This is the energy given to you by the sun, and it is not based on your personal will. Second point, you must be responsible What’s the matter, you still have a Jupiter in your twelfth house.” As she said that, Du Niang’s tone became cautious.

With a 'crack' sound, a roasted chestnut exploded, and everyone was slightly startled.

"With Jupiter in the twelfth house, there are two extremes, good and bad. The good thing is that if someone does something to hurt you, you don't have to do it, God will punish him. The bad thing is that God has very high moral requirements for you. . You must never do bad things. Once you do, there will be immediate retribution in this world."

Listening, Zuo Kunmin frowned and nodded, saying to himself: "What you said is very metaphysical, but the past events seem to have really verified this. Many people sitting in my position have done a lot of shady things. , still fine. And I...really, whenever I do something wrong, I will be punished immediately."

Du Niang suddenly turned to Liu Xiaochen and said, "So, Xiaoxiao, you don't have to worry that he will do something to hurt you in the future. After he knows this, he will definitely be more cautious in his words and deeds in the future."

Liu Xiaochen burst into laughter and said, "Sister, are you warning him for me?"

……

Throughout the morning, the three of them talked a lot, half jokingly and half seriously.

It's a farewell, a blessing, and even more reluctant to say goodbye.
