dark crossing

In the South China Sea, there is a place called Xiaqiming Island, which operates the world's largest private casino on the high seas.

At the entrance of the casino, there are two huge human-shaped steel sculptures.

It is said that this world-renowned giant work of art was inspired by the first handshake of the owner of the casino with his beloved lover.

The two human-shaped sculptures were divided into countless incomplete gaps by the artist with a knife, like a pair of human-shaped springs standing on their own.

They stood face to face, across the road, vainly looking at each other.

But whenever the bell strikes twelve o'clock at night, the two statues will move towards each other in unison.

The incomplete two people walked towards each other together when the neon lights were the brightest in the day, like souls floating in the void, and finally ended their wandering.

In the end, they fit perfectly like a lock and a key, and before dawn, they merged into one, becoming the most famous local artwork called 'Love'.

"It's a story of love and redemption."

Many years later, the owner of the casino said with a smile.The loyal listeners in front of him are his two children clamoring for bedtime stories.

And his lover was wrapped tightly in the quilt, and turned his back to the father and son who were moved, and finally couldn't bear it anymore and said: "Lin Youxing, Lu Xinfei! You two stop pestering your father to repeat those old-fashioned things, it's already ten o'clock, hurry up!" sleep!"

The children responded with a shy answer, jumped off their beds, played and ran away kicking their slippers.

"Dad—" the younger of the children turned his head and scratched the door frame, looking pitifully at the two fathers who were lying on the bed, "I want to eat avocado poached eggs tomorrow!"

"There are no more avocados at home." The father who was wrapped in a quilt turned his face and said seriously: "The supermarket selling avocados will not open until after nine o'clock, but you will leave for school at 08:30 tomorrow, so you can only eat them tomorrow." Oatmeal for breakfast."

"Ah~~" The child let out a disappointing tone in his elongated voice, trying to bargain cutely: "But but..."

The adult said with great prestige: "No, but, you can also try the eel and abalone noodles cooked by auntie! Dad loved that when he was a child! It's also delicious."

The kid who doesn't like fish pouted: "Then I'd better choose oatmeal!"

He cleverly read the cunning hidden under his father's smile.

When asking him to make a certain choice, the other party often doesn't say it directly, but will give two options that sound bad, and one must be worse than the other, so he has to choose from two rotten peaches. Pick one that doesn't suck.

"Don't do this in the future!" The child said angrily before closing the door: "You always have a way to let me choose the bad peach that is only a little rotten. This is cheating!"

"It's not cheating." The adult also argued childishly. His lover was worried that he would catch a cold, and put his arms around his shoulders to help him pull up the quilt a little, but he avoided it: "This is the wisdom of an adult! Okay, you It's time to sleep, close the door for me, and say goodnight."

"Good night! Smelly dad!" The child stuck out his tongue at him mischievously, and ran away laughing with his elder brother who was waiting for him to go back to the room to sleep together at the door.

The man who had been smiling gently and repeating the story to the child just now held his lover's hand huddled under the quilt, and whispered in his ear, "You, don't always be so cruel to the child."

The lover who refused to correct him raised his head from the pillow and stared at him fiercely: "It's you who said that children must go to bed at ten o'clock! Also, he has been eating avocado poached eggs for a week, and he is worried about the nutritional imbalance. You! I have done all the bad guys, what else do you want?"

Well, at home anyway, he is never the one who decides.

A good-tempered phobic, no matter how scolded he is, he just smiles forgivingly.

The new year is coming, and it has been snowing outside for several days.But it was warm in the house.

The family, at the end of each year, would sit together in front of the fireplace to discuss how to spend the new year.

The days are repeated and warm, plain but happy.

Day after day, soon, a lifetime passes.

Just like in the story.

The two teenagers who accidentally fell into the water were finally able to break free from the dark river and landed together, because they both firmly believed that as long as they swam firmly towards the bright and warm light of the torch, they would surely get the hard-won eternal happiness.

for sure.
