I'm getting shorter

one,

Lu Bo's lover died, and I stayed with him.

Lubo is a limited edition fountain pen, which is said to be specially made by a certain company to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the brand's founding, and is worth 58 yuan.

And his lover is a mechanical watch - called Yuai, they are a suit, born together.

Now Yu Ai is dead, dead for a long time, beside Lu Bo.I watched quietly, although I was also very sad.

I'm sad, not because of Yu Ai's death, but because of Lu Bo.

I remember the first time I saw Lubo, I was used by the owner for a while, and I threw it into the drawer casually, and bumped into Lubo.

At that moment, I couldn't believe my eyes. His whole body was transparent, and every detail was exquisite and perfect. The 18K gold on the outside made me feel overwhelmed. I don't know which master made it, but only the patterns on his body. It was in stark contrast to how I kept dropping sawdust.

"I'm sorry...I accidentally hit you." I was trembling, for fear of offending him.

I was so scared because I found out that apart from Sister Bai Zhi, they were the only ones in this drawer.

Lu Bo only frowned, looked at a pencil mark on his body, smiled at me, wiped it away gently, and then stopped looking at me, only staring at Yuai wholeheartedly.

I moved my gaze to Yuai again, but Yuai was very excited and her eyes were fierce.

"Yes, I'm sorry..." I looked at the fragmentary movement inside him, a little scared.

Yu Ai obviously loved Lu Bo very much, so he gently wiped off the lead and ink with his hands, and muttered, "You are so easy to bully, any dirty thing dares to bump into you."

"It's okay, Ai, he's just left here."

I nodded quickly, and burrowed into the corner of the drawer, but Yuai didn't give up, and complained: "The master is really, what is our worth, and what is this pencil, to put us together with him."

I looked at Lu Bo with helpless eyes, and he smiled helplessly, expressing that he didn't mind, and my uneasy heart was finally at ease.

Yu Ai immediately snorted, the mechanical watch was ticking, and the sound was very nice.

Lu Bo saw Yu Ai was angry, and kissed him tenderly in front of sister Zhi and me. Yu Ai curled his lips, and the anger subsided after a while.

I froze there, it turns out that there are really people in this world who love each other so much.

Although I'm just a slender green Chinese pencil, I once loved a pen too.

two,

I am a Chinese pen. There were 11 companions who lived in the same box as me when we left the factory. He was the same as me, all pencils. He was the first to be put into the box. We all call him the big brother.

I was weak and timid, and was bullied by other people, but he protected me. I felt warm for the first time, and gradually fell in love with him, and then he also liked me.

Later, when we went to a supermarket, he was held in the hands of a child. I looked at him in horror, and I kept saying in my heart: No, no.

But in the end, he was still bought away. I just remember that he glanced at me when he was leaving, and then smiled: "Fool, don't cry, brother should go to business, see you by fate."

I cried and said that I miss him very much, and the pens beside me are laughing at me. I have been enduring it before, but I just want to indulge this time, "Brother! Brother, please don't abandon me!"

No one paid any attention to me. I watched him being thrown on the ground by the child, biting and scraping his skin, but there was nothing I could do.

The figure of the child disappeared, and I sat there in despair. I knew that the pencil that fell into the child's hand was the most unfortunate, because I didn't know how he would use it.

I also know that this may be the last time I see my eldest brother, and his life may be only fifteen days short.

A few days later, I was bought by the current owner. Enduring the pain of sharpening the pen, I wrote the first word with difficulty, which is Li.

I took it as my surname, and thinking that the day I met my eldest brother was Saturday, I secretly figured out what the sixth syllable was, Xiu.

Richie, that's where my name comes from.

However, the owner just bought me out of boredom. I was still a pencil that cost 10 cents. After using it for less than [-] minutes, I was put in the drawer until I met Lubo and Yuai.

It turns out that love can be so sweet!I thought in amazement, and began to regret why I didn't have such a good time with my elder brother before.

I nestled in the corner and had no choice but to comfort myself because there were too many pens in the box, a total of twelve, and my elder brother and I were never so "thick-skinned" as to ignore others and kiss.

Five days have passed since my elder brother left me. I was afraid that he would be spoiled by children, so I prayed to God, as long as he is not exhausted, I am willing to lose five days of my life.

Maybe God heard my prayer, and I was arranged again in the afternoon. The master was coughing, and he seemed to think of me. He quickly grabbed my body and scribbled pen and ink on the paper.

This time I used it very quickly, and my mood was a little complicated. I was happy that the wish was successful, and I was proud of the inspiration for the owner, but as I wrote, I saw myself getting shorter and shorter, and I was more afraid of death. a bit.

It seems that God has not forgotten the matter of losing five days of life, and I have already used up one-fifth of it.

But fortunately, the master only used it for a while, and threw me into the drawer again, and I saw the awkward Lubo and Yuai again.

Lu Bo held Yuai in his arms and coaxed him carefully, his eyes were full of doting, like a full moon, focusing on only one person.

Yuai's watch is still turning. At that time, he would lose his temper every day, and it turned very loudly. Every gear was turning in the most perfect circle, which made me a little envious.

"Okay, Ai, don't make trouble. The master uses the pencil instead of me. It's nothing. Think about it. Once he uses it, I will forget to put it in the drawer. Then we will be separated for a long time, huh?" Lu Bo coaxed softly.

Yu Ai pursed her lips, her face full of dissatisfaction: "Why can the green hat be seen by the master and put it with us!"

Only then did I realize that they were angry because of me.

It turned out that I was called a green hat by them.

I suddenly feel a little uncomfortable, we have to be chosen for Pencil, but Pen is desperately hoping to be chosen, sometimes fate plays tricks on people like this.

"Hey! Cuckold! Why are you staring!" Yu Ai pushed me with his hand. I couldn't stand still and rolled twice.

"I, I didn't stare at you..." I just remembered my old friend.I wanted to say this, but Yuai didn't give me this chance.

"If you stutter, it's not a good pen at first glance. Tell me, green hat, how much are you worth?" Yu Ai rolled his eyes, and his tone was a little smug.

I was speechless by him, I looked at sister paper, she was counting how many pieces of paper she had left, so I had to look at Lu Bo who was silent.

Lu Bo glanced at me, then turned to look at Yu Ai, "Stop making trouble, good boy, I'll let you be selected next time, okay?"

Yuai muttered a few times, I went in my left ear and out in the right ear, and he didn't take it seriously, so he calmed down.

I gave Lu Bo a grateful look, "Thank you, my name is Li Xiu, and my net worth is fifty cents, thank you for your help, thank you."

Yuai was sleeping. Lu Bo glanced at me after hearing this, his tone was not as warm as before, but cold, extremely cold, "What's your name, how much is it worth, what does it have to do with me?"

I was stunned in place, extremely embarrassed, not going, not going, not going, I was stuck there all the time.

But Lu Bo didn't care about me, he just left with Yu Ai on his back, with a stack of papers between us.

After he left, I couldn't help crying, but I didn't dare to make a sound, for fear that they would laugh at me. I cried not because he was a double-faced person, nor because he murdered me, but because——he is not a big brother .

I naively thought of him as the big brother. From the first scene, what I thought in my heart was that he was a copy of the big brother.

But I found out that I was wrong, my eldest brother left me forever, and the proud Lu Bo was only gentle to Yu Ai.

three,

Later on, in order to be able to wear it on the owner's wrist and see the world, Yuai often stood in the most eye-catching place, while we huddled in the corner and quietly watched him being blessed.

Facts have proved that this is really useful. Sometimes when the owner is meditating, he will unconsciously open the drawer to have a look. When he sees Yuai at a glance, he picks up the watch and puts it on, and then closes the drawer.

Every time I see this situation, I will secretly glance at Lu Bo, as I expected, his eyes are very lonely, because they are about to separate.

The number of days of separation varies depending on whether the owner is busy, but I know that the owner is usually very busy. After all, people who can afford 58 pens are generally not too busy.

Sister Zhi rolled her eyes upwards and asked Lu Bo: "He was selected, are you happy?"

Lu Bo kept looking at the dark drawer baffle, and said lightly: "Since Ai is happy, why am I not happy?"

Sister Zhi "cut" and said, "Just as long as you are happy, lying will make your nose grow!"

"I'm very happy," Lu Bo repeated.

I shook my head slightly, that's not the case at all, your eyes are very uncomfortable.But I didn't say that, because I don't have the status to speak, and Yuai is gone.

There are only four people in the drawer, and Yu Ai, who likes to talk the most now, has left, looking a bit lonely, Sister Zhi felt bored, so she talked to me.

I have been watching her talking, and I learned that Sister Paper is from a remote place. The grandma who made paper is a very interesting person. She tells fairy tales to her grandson every day. As time goes by, Sister Paper also remembers it.

So she often told stories about Pinocchio, and later when I told lies, I would always check to see if my nose was long.

"Hey, green hat, you said your name is Lixiu, right?"

Sister Paper's eyes can turn 360 degrees, I was looking for her eyes, "Yes, yes, my name is Lixiu."

"Why do you call it this? It sounds terrible!"

"Yes, the master took it for me." I told the first lie.

"My God! The master gave you a name!? You are only worth fifty cents!!!" Sister Zhi was shocked.

I nodded, very happy with the decision to lie, I would have said a few more before I knew it.

Lu Bo sneered, I looked at him a little timidly, he glanced at me with disdain, I flinched, he ignored me, and lay down to rest where Yuai had slept before.

I thought to myself: He must be thinking about Yuai again.

In this way, during the time when Yu Ai left, I didn't talk to Lu Bo. Sometimes sister Zhi would chat with me because she was bored, but most of the time I was sleeping.

There is a big brother in the dream, I have dreamed about him several times, I am sure that dreaming is better than reality.

I dreamed that my elder brother was holding me in his arms, and then I was talking and laughing with my roommate.

He rarely kissed me, only sneaking kisses when the roommates weren't looking at us.

Today I dreamed that my elder brother was kissing me again, and just as he was about to say those three words, I was woken up.

Yuai is here.

I was a little angry, so I looked at him a few more times.

Yuai was obviously taken for repairs, and his whole body was shiny, as if oiled. He glanced at me and saw me, "Why are you staring at me!?"

"I, I didn't stare, I just got up..."

"You said you didn't stare!? Don't you just envy me for going out!" Yu Ai pointed at me.

I actually didn't stare, but I really wanted to stare at him, my big brother Meng was woken up by him, how can I not hate it! ?So I really stared.

"That's staring." I stared at him.

Yu Ai froze, became angry, rushed over and gave me a push: "Cuckold, are you tired of working?"

He didn't push me, which I knew he would, and held on to the wall, but I kept staring at him.

Just when the two of us were about to fight, Lu Bo came over, his expression was very upset, instead of scolding me, he asked Yu Ai: "Ai, you are coming home, don't you come to see me?"

"Didn't I just watch him stare at me? My good mood was completely ruined."

Lu Bo looked at him helplessly, "I've heard it all, don't be too willful, be good, don't affect our relationship because of outsiders."

I laughed, and I swear I didn't mean to, I just thought they were childish.

Facts have proved that only Lu Bo can coax Yu Ai, and the two of them reconciled again, Xiao Biesheng is newly married, as sweet as honey.

The drawer was only about ten inches in size, and I could only listen to them talking. I heard that Yuai had traveled to many countries and met many people.

It may be that he spoke so beautifully, or maybe I have never seen the world, so I was also fascinated, as if walking through the alleys and alleys with him, and walking around the castle mansion.

But Yuai felt aggrieved as she spoke.I leaned closer to listen, and it turned out that there are people out there who are beyond the sky, and in the eyes of high-end people, something worth 58 yuan is nothing.

I froze there in fright, 58 is nothing?Then my five cents, how can there be any value in existence...

The more I listened, the more envious I became, and I longed to go outside to have a look. God didn’t only let me live for fifteen days. I’ve lived for eighteen days now, so it’s already worth it, so I want to go out.

So when I heard that Yuai wanted to stand in the middle again, I felt very uncomfortable. Why should it be him every time, so can I.

But this time the owner seemed to have forgotten the drawer, and didn’t open it for half a month. At first Yuai would prevent me from standing with him, but after a few days, he gave up and continued to mix oil with honey.

I don't give up, I'll always be there, anyway, I'm alone, maybe I can see my eldest brother when I go out.

The hard work paid off, and a month later, I was finally blessed by my master.I looked back at the two of them, and saw Yu Ai baring his teeth and claws, and Lu Bo coaxing him.

I finally came out.

But the master only used me for a while, I saw him on the phone, hurried out, frowning while calling "Baby", I was thrown on the table by him.

I looked at the distant master in disbelief, shouldn't you take me out?Why did you leave me here!

I was very disappointed, thinking of my elder brother, just now the master's back was like that child, robbing my elder brother and my dream.

But fortunately, I am in the middle of the table, if the master comes again, he can still see me, maybe there will be a chance.

Immediately afterwards, the owner came back. As I expected, he saw me, picked up the pen, and I was dizzy, but I was not discouraged, because this was a good opportunity for a business trip.

It's a pity that God didn't make my wish, the master left, and I was left on the table.

There is also Yuai beside me, and Yuai was finally taken out by the owner, but just like me, it was not taken away.

I am afraid of such a situation. The most expensive thing here is Yuai. Water cups, keyboards, paper towels, materials... are all more expensive than me. I turned to the right, afraid that they would discriminate against me. After all, I am only worth [-] cents money.

To my surprise, Yuai did not speak ill of me to others, but was flirting with Uncle Water Cup.

I looked at him in horror, he didn't care about my opinion at all, he said what he said to Lu Bo, the uncle of the water cup was secretly kissing him, he didn't resist, but smiled foolishly.

I didn't dare to look any further, so I could only turn my back on them and think about my elder brother.

Big Brother wonders if he will be like Yu Ai, who will never remember me when he turns around?

I never thought about it because in my subconscious, pencils have short lives and big brother is nice to everyone but best to me.

But I am not by his side now, the child must have a lot of pens and erasers, and with so many people around him, he will inevitably not feel throbbing.

I was having a hard time, and it dawned on me that I might not be the only big brother.

The two people behind me finished flirting, Yuai glanced at me, and whispered in my ear: "If you dare to tell this matter, I will tell everyone here that you are only worth fifty cents."

I looked at him with some fear, I dare not let others know my value, everything here is very expensive, only me is the least valuable.

"But, but, it's wrong for you to do this." I tried to reason with him.

Yu Ai looked at me contemptuously: "It's a new era now, who cares about sticking to the end, and I don't want you to do anything, you just keep it a secret."

"Then, what if I told Lu Bo."

"Even if you say it, are you sure Lu Bo will believe it? He only listens to me."

I admit that I was threatened. Anyway, they didn't treat me very well, so I just didn't care.

A few days later, the secretary came over, and she asked someone to clean up, and Yuai and I put it in the drawer.

They are still in love, I look at them carefully, I secretly admire Yuai's calm demeanor.

"What are you looking at?" Lu Bo said coldly.

I shook my head quickly and decided to be a mute.

Yuai raised her eyebrows at me, her eyes clearly said, look, you are mentally retarded.

A few days later, Yuai was favored by the master again, but what I didn't expect was that Lu Bo talked to me as soon as Yuai left.

"Do you think there is something wrong with Yuai?" Lu Bo said suddenly.

"No, I think it's normal." I said.

Lu Bo looked me up and down: "You seem to be a little short, so you have been with Yuai before."

"I don't. I've been on the table and haven't been used by the owner. I don't know why you say he's weird."

"is it?"

I nodded, Lu Bo seemed to believe it, turned and left, and said, "Then you can help me pay attention to him in the future, thank you."

"Okay." My heart was pounding, this lie was really scary.

Later, the master forgot about me, and I watched my roommate wander around, but I stayed in the drawer, like an old man watching his children go home.

They would each discuss where they had gone, mostly Sister Zhi and Yu Ai were talking there, while Lu Bo and I listened quietly.

I thought my life would end in such a boring time, but Yuai's death broke the silence.
