Amorous Short Stories

Tao Yisu stopped.

His hands trembled slightly, some cigarette ash accumulated at his feet, and his lips trembled a little, so he stuffed cigarettes in to cover it up.He was still staring at a point far away on the floor, frowning, as if his thoughts were not in his shell, stuck in a certain swamp.

Ding Qing stared straight at his face, not knowing what to say, so he didn't speak.Ding Qing reached out to touch him, but Tao Yisu froze. Tao Yisu dodged slightly, avoided Ding Qing's eyes, kicked the ashes on the ground, and threw the cigarette butt on the ground: "I'll go and sweep it. .”

After talking about getting up and leaving, Ding Qing took his arm, and Tao Yisu stopped.

Ding Qing knew what he should say, and Tao Yisu thought Ding Qing was going to say something.

but.

Ding Qing let go of him anyway, Tao Yisu paused, and went to get the vacuum cleaner.

The room fell silent.Ding Qing never left Tao Yisu's eyes, observing his expression carefully.Ding Qing is not struggling, he just really doesn't know what to say, tomorrow he is going to Hong Kong, Tao Yisu is going to Chiang Mai, if Ding Qing says something wrong, Tao Yisu will be bored or fearful, and it will be difficult to see each other again .In this relationship, Ding Qing seems to have the upper hand. Tao Yisu asks him for anything, which is what the elders tend to do, but if Tao Yisu doesn't come, Ding Qing has nothing to do.

So Ding Qing panicked.

The panic is mutual.Tao Yisu never raised his eyes. He wanted to sweep the ashes, but Ding Qing took it.He stood there for a while, looking at Ding Qing's back, bit his tongue, and opened his mouth anyway: "I told you, if you still... think we can discuss it again..." Tao Yisu He licked his lips and said incoherently, "Anyway, I'm not in a hurry to talk now. You can send a message, make a phone call, whatever..."

Ding Qing turned around listening to his words, and saw Tao Yisu quickly entered the bathroom and took another shower to wash off his cold sweat.When he came out, he lay directly on the bed, turned off the bedside lamp, and wrapped him up tightly.

Seeing him like this, Ding Qing turned off the lights in the room, pulled up a chair and sat by the bed, leaning against the back of the chair, watching Tao Yisu's shrunken back, watching quietly.He was thinking that if it was him, in the same environment, he might make a completely different choice.Ding Qing would never go as far as Tao Yisu did, so he thought, Tao Yisu is Tao Yisu after all.

Ding Qing smacked the name repeatedly, a sweet taste filled his mouth.

I can't bear it anymore.Ding Qing lifted the quilt and climbed in.

Tao Yisu knew that Ding Qing was watching him from behind, which made him want to shrink back more and more.Until the quilt behind him was lifted, a heating body approached, the heat source's heart stuck to his back, and his arms wrapped around his shoulders.

Tao Yisu struggled lightly, but did not break free, Ding Qing said, "I'm a little cold."

Tao Yisu stopped moving.

Ding Qing's arms were wrapped around Tao Yisu's neck, and his fingers gently rubbed against a small piece of skin on the back of his neck.Neither of them spoke.

Ding Qing clenched his hands tightly, and squeezed Tao Yisu's arm with a little force, with the intention of pulling it into his arms.

Tao Yisu felt Ding Qing's movement and leaned back.

Ding Qing suddenly felt relieved.

Ding Qing's breathing scattered around Tao Yisu's ears, and he smiled softly.

"what happened?"

Ding Qing hugged him tightly: "I was scared to death, I thought you just didn't want me..."

Tao Yisu also smiled when he heard this, lowered his head and lightly bit Ding Qing's arm: "Ding Qing is stupid."

Ding Qing smiled and rubbed Tao Yisu's head with the tip of his nose: "Ah yes, you are right, you are right, Mr. Tao is awesome."

Tao Yisu had a good night's sleep without nightmares, and when he woke up, he saw Ding Qing's back in the kitchen, tasting the soup from the pot—maybe it was soup, Tao Yisu wasn't sure.

Ding Qing filled the bowl and asked Tao Yisu to get up: "One trick, you can eat it all over the world."

Tao Yisu glanced at Ding Qing, his tone was very familiar.

Ding Qing's egg custard was made superbly, neither bland nor salty, very normal. Tao Yisu gave it 99 points, leaving one point for future use.

Ding Qing asked him while drinking: "The ladybug will take it too?"

Tao Yisu nodded: "I'll bring his little house too."

"You even built him a house?" Ding Qing squeezed his cigarette, a little amused, and handed Tao Yisu candy.

Tao Yisu poured a little, Ding Qing pushed the bowl over, Tao Yisu poured it for him too: "That's right, it's made of foam, I'm afraid he won't feel safe."

Ding Qing looked at Tao Yisu with a funny face, and leaned over cheaply: "I'm also very insecure. I can't sleep when it's cold at night. I like small animals very much. How do you think about it?"

Tao Yisu heard that Ding Qing was changing his methods to hurt him, and he was not willing to show weakness: "In my humble opinion, your problem will be castrated once and for all."

Ding Qing was very happy when he was bullied. Hearing the sound of the toaster, he stood up to get it. "Salad or tomato."

"salad bar."

Ding Qing was afraid, so he added a few slices of cucumber, and walked back with him: "I'm going to write this down in the cohabitation handbook."

Tao Yisu shook his head: "I don't have any taboos. What about you?" Tao Yisu took a bite, found cucumber in it, and looked at this dark dish strangely.

"Coincidentally, I don't have any taboos." Ding Qing smiled triumphantly, "Then how easy we get along."

Tao Yisu suddenly said: "By the way, I don't eat mustard."

Ding Qing nodded and made a gesture: "Okay, OK, remember."

"Where do you live? Go to my house? The house is still empty." Ding Qing suggested, "Ladybugs can live outside and build a small house, the kind made of wood."

"Hmm..." Tao Yisu thought for a while, "Let's live with me first, I'll get used to it."

"to make."

Ding Qing looked at Tao Yisu and suddenly became silly.

"what happened?"

Ding Qing tilted his head: "I've never lived with anyone before."

"Me neither."

Ding Qing licked his lips, eyes sparkling, and moved closer to Tao Yisu, with a serious face: "Mr. Tao Yisu, I will become the person who loves you the most and treats you best in this world. Give me a chance."

Tao Yisu smiled: "Okay."

When Kang Ruyi saw Tao Yisu walk in, she smiled at him.It was noon, and there were not many people in the store.

Tao Yisu sat at the bar and watched Kang Ruyi skillfully take out the wine glass.

"You're finally back." Kang Ruyi handed over the wine glass, "I'm in a good mood, what do you want to drink?"

Tao Yisu raised his eyebrows, and as an answer to "in a good mood", thought for a while: "Let's have lemonade."

Kang Ruyi glanced at him, went to the far cabinet to get it, glanced at him again, and slowly poured it out.Kang Ruyi was like this most of the time, and would not ask directly, but told Tao Yisu with his eyes that she felt a little strange.

Tao Yisu didn't know how to read this kind of stuff, so he asked, "Where's the groom?"

"I went shopping." Kang Ruyi looked at Tao Yisu with a smile, and would definitely come back here when there was nothing else going on around.

They were chatting casually, Po Ke smiled and patted Tao Yisu's shoulder: "You're back! You've been away for so long." Po Ke sat down, looked up at Kang Ruyi and smiled: "It's still the same."

Kang Ruyi bit her lips and smiled, but she didn't look down at him, and turned to get it.Poker watched sweetly from behind.

Tao Yisu couldn't keep up with the progress. "So," Tao Yisu asked Poker, "are you together?"

Poker sat upright, waved his hands and shook his head: "No, no, really no... She is, and now she is talking to me..." Poker laughed embarrassedly.

Tao Yisu was holding his lemonade, he didn't understand them, so he shrugged and let them go.

The groom came in with the dog, and the ladybug pounced on Tao Yisu.Tao Yisu knelt down to hug him, and was knocked down by the ladybug, who then bit his collar and tried to pull him up.The groom came to the rescue, pulled the ladybug away, and took him to dinner. The ladybug followed the groom two steps, then ran back and licked Tao Yisu's face before going to eat.

It was very tiring to bring the ladybug, so the groom shook his head and walked back: "This dog is too big, why didn't you buy a VIP or something."

Tao Yisu gave way to the groom: "I've raised them all."

The groom waved his hand and took a sip of Tao Yisu's lemonade: "Have you eaten yet?"

Tao Yisu shook his head, Kang Ruyi shook his head, Poker shook his head.

The groom looked helpless: "Then what are you two doing here?"

Poker actually wanted to come today to ask Kang Ruyi if she would like to go out to eat together.Tao Yisu, he has nowhere else to go.

The groom waved his hand: "Forget it, I'll go and cook later." Then he glanced at Tao Yisu, "Come and help."

Tao Yisu was very unteachable: "I don't know how to cook."

"I told you to come, you will come." The groom winked.

Tao Yisu finally understood: "Oh." He stood up and followed the groom to the back.

The groom asked Tao Yisu, "Can you kill fish?"

Tao Yisu glanced at the listless fish swimming in the basin, and smiled: "You are afraid."

The groom rolled his eyes: "I don't kill."

"Okay." Tao Yisu rolled up his sleeves.

"So are the two of them together?" Tao Yisu asked.

"No." The groom Taomi said, "The poker is quite obvious, and Kang Ruyi's attitude has gradually improved. Let me see, it seems to have that meaning."

"Then will we be together sooner or later?"

"It's hard to say, I don't know what Kang Ruyi is thinking." The groom frowned, "I think she is quite worried... Speaking of which, how about yours?" The groom teased him.

"Speaking of this," Tao Yisu shook the water, "I'm leaving."

"Where are you going?" The groom started cutting carrots, and took a moment to look at him.

"Go find that person."

The groom stopped, with many questions stuck in his throat, but just like every time he asked Tao Yisu for so many years, he could only swallow it by himself in the end, because Tao Yisu would not answer.So the groom opened his mouth and finally just said, "That's fine."

Tao Yisu could tell that something was wrong with the groom, because the groom's expression was always obvious, such as now, he was very disappointed. "Didn't you say that long-distance relationships are not conducive to emotional development?"

"Ah yes." The groom nodded perfunctorily.

Tao Yisu looked at the groom seriously: "Is there anything you want to ask me?"

The groom sighed: "Yes, yes. But I didn't dare to ask... Friends shouldn't be like this. It's not that I want you to report when you come and go, but if your decision affects us, take precautions in advance Ah. But you don't, don't say anything, live your own life. You're like the kind of person who is on an island and draws SOS on the beach, but we fly over and you want us to go away, because you can't talk to Get along with others. It’s been repeated like this for so many years, and you haven’t noticed it.”

Tao Yisu was stunned for a while, it was the first time he heard evaluations of himself from others.He looked at the disappointed face of the groom, and tried to make him happy: "I told you this time... I will pay attention next time."

The groom glanced at Tao Yisu, and finally smiled a little: "Okay, you, do you have 'next time' in your dictionary?"

"I said that?"

"That's right," the groom laughed, "what's 'no future', what's 'life is empty', what's 'time is linear, pointing to the end of the universe, it must be perish'... It's so mysterious. If you stay all night, I sometimes You have to listen to it all night."

Tao Yisu blushed with embarrassment, and quickly changed the subject: "...you are so careful in front of me."

The groom nodded and smiled: "Yes, you are fragile."

Tao Yisu also laughed, and cut it: "You are the fragile product, you dare not kill the fish."

"You fragile."

"You are sentimental and have well-developed tear glands."

"You are sentimental, can you be strong without crying?"

"Hey, you're pretty stubborn."

"You are stubborn."

"...Is it okay to praise you?"

"..."

Tao Yisu started to pack his luggage in the afternoon. According to the principle of traveling lightly, there were only a few things in total, and there were many scattered things sent by Ding Qing. It would be too troublesome to carry them. Ding Qing said to send them.Tao Yisu No, that is too expensive.

He gave the lava lamp to the monks in the temple, and the tenants downstairs wanted to leave other things.Ding Qing was speechless, did this save money?

Tao Yisu had almost cleaned up, so he took his dog for a walk. The ladybug was full of energy. When he saw a bitch in the park, he ran up to the house twice. When he attracted attention, he ran to an open place, as if standing in a On stage, and then began to perform spin jumps, eyes closed.

Tao Yisu looked at his crippled cutie and didn't know what to say.Maybe this means that love isn't all about sex?Ladybug, though young, may harbor Plato's will.

Tao Yisu went to talk to Tide later, and Tide made an appointment at his restaurant.He talked to Tide on the phone when he was in Macau. When he came back, Tide said that he had found someone and rented a house in the suburbs. A friend had a cousin who studied computer and helped his classmates change their grades in the system for a fee. , was fired.Tao Yisu secretly sighed at Tide's efficiency, as expected, earning milk powder money is the most important thing.The cousin is the backbone, and he is the one who does the computer work, and he asks for half of the money.Tao Yisu nodded, and Tide glanced at him, wondering if Tao Yisu had no opinion at all?

Tide said: "That's fine, we will split the rest halfway."

"What about poker?"

Tide squinted at him and clicked his tongue: "Do you not care about money, or do you just not know how to do business?"

Both.But Tao Yisu would not admit it.So he didn't say a word. In his years of experience, as long as he put on a face that doesn't care much, the other party will always overestimate his psychology and feel that he is mysterious and unpredictable.

Tide is not Tao Yisu's friend or business partner, and they still have to keep some lines between each other, so he couldn't talk anymore, he sniffed, and pulled the sides of his mouth, as if he wanted to remove something on his nose: "Um... poker Doesn’t it count here? He counts his business there, and he doesn’t count on the Internet.”

"I don't live in Chiang Mai anymore, he is here for me."

Tide raised his eyebrows: "Really?" His eyes rolled down, and then he said again: "Then this is your business, you can give him your money."

Tao Yisu nodded: "Just to say hello to you in advance."

Tide suddenly became emotional, and put his arms around his shoulders: "That's a good idea, in this fucking place, let's make a fortune, and the flower seller is a ball."

Tao Yisu nodded along with him and said nothing.

When Tide drinks too much wine, it's even more exciting to think about the future. "Let me tell you, back then you and I were too shallow in our thinking and always wanted to do safe things, but what is the difference between safe and safe?"

Tide poured wine for Tao Yisu, and poured it for himself when it was full.He drank his own cup in one gulp, while Tao Yisu's didn't move much. "So, to be a man, you must be ambitious. What can you do if you worry about this and that?"

Tao Yisu looked at him, and what he said was very reasonable, but chicken soup is like this, it sounds reasonable, if it is true, it is all nonsense.Like Tide, it is used to find reasons for yourself, or to persuade others.

"I still have to follow the right person." Tide hiccupped, "I have someone to support me now, so I can't go out and have no one to support me."

"Who?" This Tao Yisu still wanted to ask, except for those local people, he didn't know anyone else.But if it's just a local character, Tide doesn't have to be so proud.

Tide stretched out his index finger and shook it, mysteriously: "It's airborne." Tide stared at the wine glass and let out a sigh, "It's great to be rich, you can be a master wherever you go."

Tao Yisu grasped the key point: "Where did it come from?"

Tide shook his head: "I don't know, it's very famous in Southeast Asia. You probably don't know, its surname is...Gao." Tide sent a very non-standard pinyin, and Tao Yisu immediately recognized it.

Tao Yisu remained calm and took a sip of his wine: "What does he do?"

Tide smiled and said, "He does whatever makes the most money. Forty percent of the underground freight going to and from that area passes through him."

"What? Is forty percent too much?"

Tide raised his eyebrows, as if he was giving a lesson to solve doubts: "It doesn't matter what the specific thing is, you just need to know that it is what people need and want. As for whether [-]% is too much, you have to think this way: what people need If there is [-]% of things, it is publicized; if it is [-]%, it is legal and reasonable; if it is [-]%, it is exploitation and monopoly, followed by invisible rights; That's Soviet centralization, lawmakers enforce the law; [-]%, it's God." Tide stretched out his palm and turned it up and down, "When too many people want it, it doesn't matter right or wrong."

Tao Yisu declined to comment on Tide's arguments.

"So forty percent is too much?"

"Forget it, it's a lot." Tide rolled his eyes, "If it's 80%... Then his goal is too big, who is so stupid. This isn't [-]s Columbia..."
