intracranial fetters

This villa belongs to Cheng Lin and a pair of brother and sister from country C. The three of them have a good relationship. The elder brother is Lawrence who lives in another place, and the younger sister is Monica. They live in a room in this villa with a panoramic view of the garden.

When Xia Chuan walked out of the bedroom and was about to ask Cheng Lin something, he met Monica. Monica was tilting her head in the corridor, pacing back and forth on tiptoe, as if she was dancing a ballroom dance, when she heard Xia Chuan's footsteps He raised his head and looked at Xia Chuan with a smile.

Xia Chuan was so embarrassed that he was a little at a loss, so he had to use the greeting he heard in the morning, nodding his head to say hello.

Monica laughed and replied in Chinese: "Hello."

"You can speak Chinese?" Xia Chuan was a little surprised.

Monica gestured with her fingers, "A little bit."

Monica's black bangs are short and close to her forehead, and her short ear-length hair outlines a little playful and well-behaved. She has a pair of charming big dark blue eyes. When she looks at you, you always feel that she will follow her in the next moment. You say something romantic, but she just says, "My name is Monica, what about you?"

Xia Chuan hooked the corners of his mouth, and kept a distance from Monica that was neither distant nor uncomfortable, "My name is Xia Chuan, and your eyes are beautiful."

"I know." Monica put her hands behind her back, with a smile on her face, "When I went to your country last time, someone praised me and said that my eyes are like vacuum cleaners."

"Vacuum cleaner?" Xia Chuan laughed when he heard this metaphor, "His Chinese is definitely not very good."

Cheng Lin heard the chatter and laughter in the corridor and walked out of the room, "The servant just said that lunch is ready, let's go eat together."

Before sitting down at the table, Monica sniffed and said to Xia Chuan, "You're going to eat delicious food."

Xia Chuan sat down and looked at the dinner plate, which consisted of two slices of white toast with a generous slice of meat, a plate of French fries, and a small plate of sweet peppers and crispy cucumbers.

Cheng Lin said: "This is the S Bacon shop in Mon City. The store has been around for a long time, which is equivalent to a time-honored brand in China. It is also considered to be of high quality and low price. Many people come to Mon City just to eat these."

Monica said something in French, but Xia Chuan didn't understand a word in a long list. It seemed that the words were complicated and asked Cheng Lin to translate.

Cheng Lin listened, nodded earnestly, and then said, "She said that the sandwich is very complicated and delicious."

"No more?" Xia Chuan remembered that the words were very long.

Monica also looked at Cheng Lin.

Cheng Lin shrugged while eating the sandwich, "Anyway, I still think our ancestors' food is delicious, and when I don't use chopsticks to eat, I always feel like I have returned to the age of primitive people."

Xia Chuan and Monica were dumbfounded at the same time.

During the meal, Cheng Lin said to Xia Chuan, "We will probably stay in Mon City for about a week or two, and we will go to other places after the matter is resolved. I may not be able to accompany you." Then he looked at Monia .

Monica nodded with a smile.

Cheng Lin continued, "Let Monica take you around Mon City in the past few days. She is also familiar with the attractions near Mon City. Many movies are filmed in country C. If you are interested, you can also let Monica Ka will accompany you to take a look."

Xia Chuan curled his lips, "Thank you, Mr. Chen." Without raising his head, he seemed to be serious about eating.

Cheng Lin ate some French fries, "How many times have I told you, just call me Cheng Lin, Mr. Chen is too old."

Xia Chuan nodded.

In the afternoon, Cheng Lin took time to visit the Cathedral of Notre Dame. Instead of going directly to Lin Chan, he just sat silently in a corner where he could not easily find him, watching him.

There was the sound of hoofbeats, the carriages were carrying tourists, the sun above the head was warm but not strong, adding a layer of warm yellow halo to the air, Lin Chan was holding a drawing board in the shade under the tree, someone sometimes Just draw portraits, draw churches when there is no one, tease the children playing around when you are tired, or look at the newlyweds taking wedding photos in front of the church.

Lin Chan likes to paint, and he is very serious when he creates a painting. Sometimes he can’t hear you talking to him, but sometimes he thinks you are noisy when you just walk around in the living room. Lin Chan Chan looks restless and restless most of the time, and rarely looks so peaceful, except when he is writing realistically outside and teasing small animals.

They used to raise a little duck when they lived together outside the university in college.

Knowing that Lin Chan likes small animals, Cheng Lin said to him that day, "Do you want to raise small animals? Take them home and we will raise them together."

As a result, Lin Chan brought back a little yellow duck, and Cheng Lin frowned, thinking that his cat and dog food had all been bought for nothing.

Lin Chan said that his mother is allergic to animal fur, so he never raised animals at home. There are often stalls selling yellow ducks in front of primary schools. He thinks their fluffy little ones are very cute, so he raised a little yellow duck. It was his childhood wish.

Cheng Lin only knew that the survival rate of the little yellow ducks sold by this kind of small stall was extremely low, but he didn't say anything to Lin Chan. He took the little yellow ducks to the veterinary station to get vaccinated by himself. The veterinarian took a look at him and said , "It's very early for you to have a baby at such a young age. Now children like to buy ducklings at the school gate. There are very few people who are as caring as you and come to get vaccinated."

Cheng Lin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and didn't explain, but asked carefully about raising ducklings.

At that time, when the two of them had nothing to do at home, they liked to tease the ducklings. The ducklings followed them, with their buttocks sticking out. When one of them suddenly turned around, the ducklings were still a little confused and didn’t know who to follow. Sometimes They will also go to the park to dig earthworms for the ducklings to eat.

The people in the park stared at them, and it was indeed a novelty for two big men to walk the ducks.

Later, the duck got bigger, and the color of its fur changed. It felt more naive without being cute.

Later, the two of them had to go on a long trip, so they handed over the duck to Lin Chan's classmate to help raise it. When they came back, the duck was naturally gone.What happened? The classmate said that he went downstairs and was checked by the dormitory management.

Lin Chan was so angry that he didn't speak all day, he didn't want to be sad or upset, but he suddenly started crying when he fell asleep in the middle of the night, unable to control himself, sobbing like a child whose candy he was thinking of was robbed.

Cheng Lin put his arms around Lin Chan and comforted him, "We can raise another one."

Lin Chan cried and was speechless.

The next day, the two of them put pots of soil on the terrace, and Lin Chan buried a picture he drew of the duckling in it.

Since then, Lin Chan has never raised any small animals.

Lin Chan said that she didn't like the feeling of giving unreserved love and attention but losing it in the end, feeling powerless like drowning in water with nowhere to go.

Cheng Lin was just thinking that people who engage in art have a sensitive mind, and they can relate to the philosophy of life no matter what.

The quiet and peaceful time always seemed to pass quickly, Lin Chan stood up and stretched, and seemed to glance in Cheng Lin's direction.

Cheng Lin leaned back, looked at Lin Chan again, he had packed his things and turned to leave.

Cheng Lin suddenly didn't understand why the two of them were tossing each other, going round and round, the problems with each other were like a circle with no end.

When Lin Chan returned to the rental house, the landlord's black cat was lazily lying in the yard basking in the sun.

Lin Chan put down the drawing board she was carrying and the things she was carrying, and squatted beside the black cat, stroking its head and scratching its chin. The black cat was so comfortable that it made a sound similar to purring.

The cat’s name is Andrew. The landlady said that the cat is very old, and one of its big teeth is broken. It used to like to eat bones, but now it can’t.I lie in this yard basking in the sun during the day, and occasionally howl at night.

Lin Chan thought about it and stopped the movement of his hands. The cat opened its eyes and meowed. Lin Chan went to pet the cat again, then closed his eyes and lay there comfortably.

The landlord's wife staggered to the yard with a stooped body, sat on the recliner next to her, and looked at Lin Chan, "You're back?"

Lin Chan nodded.

The landlady continued, "I remember at this point in China, isn't it already dark?"

"In summer, the days are longer, and now there should be some afterglow of the setting sun."

The old lady smacked her lips, "It gets dark at six o'clock in summer and it gets dark at eleven o'clock. During the day, it lies in the yard basking in the sun, and at night it howls weakly."

Lin Chan sat cross-legged on the ground, holding the cat on her body and stroking it.

The old lady sighed, "The forms are all filled out, please accompany me to the hospital tomorrow to submit the application."

Lin Chan's Adam's apple twitched, "Tomorrow?"

The old lady nodded, Lin Chan looked at the cat and was speechless.

"To live one more day is to suffer." The landlady squinted her eyes and looked at the sun, and her cloudy eyes turned a little transparent.

Before it got dark, it began to rain, and with a strong wind, Lin Chan and the landlady's wife were having a meal. Simple fried rice was accompanied by the domestic bibimbap sauce sold by the overseas students next door, and a fruit salad.

The sound of young men and women laughing and hiding from the rain can be heard from the street outside, and occasionally the screeching brakes of bicycles, and the silence in the house is only the sound of chewing and swallowing food.

Lin Chan felt dull, as if the arteries of her heart had been forcibly blocked, and a thousand catties of stones had been crushed.

There seemed to be a picture in front of his eyes. A red stream reflecting the setting sun was painted with magnificent ink, and then gradually blurred as the water spread out. The sound of the sizzling water was like a hypnotic movement. Consciousness is brought into the mid-air, and then there is a pure blank like human civilization has not yet begun.

The orange light scattered on the washed wrinkled skin, reflecting Lin Chan's confused and lifeless eyes.

He thought of his pet that disappeared many years ago, the hustle and bustle when his parents passed away, and Andrew who was bathing in the sun and waiting to die...

Yes, Andrew!

Lin Chan stood up suddenly, startling the old lady across the dining table, who asked, "What's wrong?"

Lin Chan said, "Andrew." Then he turned and opened the door and rushed into the courtyard where the rain was ravaging.

The old lady leaned against the door, watching Lin Chan knelt on the ground and picked up the motionless cat in the middle of the courtyard. The rain blurred his face.

The old lady held up a big black umbrella, braved the wind and rain, walked slowly towards Lin Chan, and said softly, "Let's go, let's go in."
