Solstice Secrets

The last time I had dinner at Zhuang's old house, Mr. Zhuang also said that Ling Dongzhi was too irritable.Once the impulse comes up, he doesn't care about it, and dares to talk nonsense to anyone regardless of the consequences.Ling Dongzhi's comments on the old man are always brooding.Therefore, once you notice that your heart is burning again, force yourself to take a few deep breaths.It is said that this trick can quell anger and calm oneself down as soon as possible.The enemy hasn't made a move yet, and the pig-like accomplices are still waiting to be stabbed in the dark, so I can't mess up.

Ling Dongzhi let out a sigh of relief, and began to look at Lin Mian carefully.Looking at the appearance, this man belongs to the standard scholar type, with delicate features, gentle eyes, and always has a smile in his eyes when looking at people. He is a man who can easily make people feel close.If this were put in "Liao Zhai", it would be the type that vixen and goblins like to hook up with. As a result, with a modern background, the scholar also began to turn into a vixen.

Ling Dongzhi poured himself a glass of wine, and calmly began to plan, "Mr. Lin is really capable of starting his own company. What does your company do?"

Lin Mian replied cautiously: "Make some game software. There are also applications."

"It's not easy, is it?" Ling Dongzhi put on a face and said, "It's self-made."

"That's right," Lin Mian unconsciously revealed a look of emotion, "The start-up capital was all put together by a few of us."

Ling Dongzhi followed with a few words of emotion, and said, "I heard that many software companies have achieved very good profits in the past two years."

Lin Mian looked at him, as if he was not sure what he meant by that.However, Ling Dongzhi's expression was too serious and kind, which made it hard for people to think wrongly.He had no choice but to say vaguely: "It's okay."

"I really envy a technological elite like you. You are knowledgeable, capable, and rich. It's really enviable." Ling Dongzhi looked at him with a bright face, thinking that I have praised you for this , do you still have the nerve to borrow money from my Zhuangzhou?And judging by your posture, even if you borrow it, you don't intend to pay it back.

Lin Mian looked at him for a while, then smiled silently.

He Kuan watched the excitement for a long time, but now he was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, and said with a smile: "Of course, Lin Mian was very capable when he was still in school. We all asked our family for money, and he himself participated What kind of software competition, earning prize money for living expenses. That's amazing!"

Seeing this, He Kuan also understood Ling Dongzhi's intentions. Compared with Lin Mian, He Kuan was naturally closer to Ling Dongzhi.Lin Mian and Zhuang Laoer were classmates, and they only knew each other, and their friendship was not very deep, let alone they hadn't seen each other for many years.What's more, he was not happy to see an inexplicable old classmate pop up out of nowhere just to plot against his brother—although he still hadn't understood how this buddy planned to plot against Zhuang's second child.

Ling Dongzhi understood, and immediately climbed up the pole, and praised Lin Mian as a fairy flower that is rare in the sky and unparalleled on the earth.Lin Mian was probably disgusted by his praise, so he forced himself to drink another half a glass of wine, and left in a hurry with the excuse of going to see a friend.

Seeing Lin Mian leaving the box, Zhuang Zhou turned around and grabbed Ling Dongzhi's ear, "What the hell are you doing? I've never seen you praise anyone like that. Tell me, what are you doing?" Idea? It’s not because Lin Mian is good-looking, you like it?”

Ling Dongzhi slapped his paw off, snorted and ignored him.

Sitting on the side with Kuan and laughing.

[Brother He, help me check out your classmate Lin. ]

[What's the benefit? ]

[…]

[It's no good not to check. ]

[How about... introduce a girl to you?There are also several young and beautiful unmarried female teachers in our school. ][Height and weight measurements? ]

[…]

[If you don't report the number, you won't check it. ]

[He brother, and uncle!I'm not a hooligan, where can I find out the measurements of others? ] [Then send the photos to me for review first. ]

[... Tomorrow, I will take sneak shots of you one by one. ]

[Oh well. ]

[Please, really check it out. ]

[Cough, seriously, are you so worried about your second child? ]

[I am worried about others!I think there's something wrong with that classmate of yours, and I'm afraid that the fool of the second child will be deceived! ][……alright, I got it. ]

[Secretly check, don't tell the second child. ]

[clear.Wait for my letter. ]

Ling Dongzhi heard that the sound of water in the bathroom stopped, quickly deleted the few text messages just now, and then threw the phone back on the bedside table as if nothing had happened.In fact, he and Zhuang Zhou had never checked each other's phones, but Ling Dongzhi had a guilty conscience, so he couldn't help thinking about everything.It's better to delete it.

Ling Dongzhi was holding an introduction to art in his hand and flipping through it absently. Seeing Zhuang Zhou coming out of the bathroom, he dropped the book and patted the quilt beside him, "Come here, let's talk."

Zhuang Zhou was a little amused, "What are you talking about?"

"Of course we're talking about Lin Mian." Ling Dongzhi stared, "Who else can we talk about?"

Zhuang Zhou suddenly felt powerless, "I said, you can't play for fun and get into the show, are you really jealous?"

"What does it mean to be in the drama?" Ling Dongzhi was unhappy, "I didn't want to inquire about your romantic history. I just wanted to ask, what was the relationship between Lin Mian and you back then? A classmate? A common friend? A crush? A bed partner? couple?"

Zhuang Zhou was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "He treats me as a normal friend, and I treat him as a crush."

"A worthless bastard!" Ling Dongzhi glared at him bitterly, "What's so good about him?!"

"It's really hard to say." Zhuang Zhou thought for a while, "I was not as mature as I am now. When I first entered the university, I still felt quite nervous about the unfamiliar environment. Lin Mian happened to share the dormitory with me. He was my deskmate in high school, so from the beginning I saw him as closer than others. And objectively speaking, he still has many advantages, smart, studious, polite, and helpful.”

"Does he know that you are so careful?" Ling Dongzhi felt that he could understand the hazy feelings, and regarded the existence of a person as a symbol of hope or warmth.

Zhuang Zhou shook his head, "Maybe I don't know, maybe I know but pretend I don't know. No matter which one it is, it doesn't make any difference to me."

Hearing how pitiful he said, Ling Dongzhi couldn't help reaching out and pinching his face, and scolded in disgust: "It's a shame!"

Zhuangzhou ouch yelled, rushed over and hugged Ling Dongzhi tightly and rubbed against him, "This is nothing to do with old sesame seeds and rotten millet, you are still here to embarrass me. As for what, why should I I never knew you were so narrow-minded."

Ling Dongzhi turned his face away, and said angrily: "Then why did he come all the way to hook you up? Don't tell me you didn't see it."

Zhuang Zhou fell silent.Everyone else could see it, and he could also see that Lin Mian's attitude was a bit unusual.But when it comes to hooking up, Zhuang Zhou thinks he's not that attractive.

"He didn't even take a fancy to me back then. It's definitely not that it's been so many years. The first time we met, he thought of me again." Zhuang Zhou patted Ling Dongzhi's face lightly, comforting him and said, "No This kind of thing happened. Besides, I already have you, who else can I look up to?"

Ling Dongzhi was actually full of worries, but after thinking about it, he was just an ordinary teacher living in his own small circle, while Zhuang Zhou was a businessman who was used to wind and rain.He is far more sophisticated than himself when it comes to dealing with the world.

Ling Dongzhi reluctantly told him, "Be careful. Don't be dazzled by the white rose on the tip of your heart back then, and fall into the pit."

Zhuang Zhou smiled and kissed his face, "No, don't worry."

Zhuang Zhou is not a person who has no idea.He has always had a very clear awareness of himself.That's why he didn't confess to Lin Mian face to face back then.He knew himself and Lin Mian too well.Several years of getting along at close range is enough for Zhuang Zhou to see this man clearly.

Lin Mian is a very particular person.This particularity manifests itself in every aspect of his life.His academics are always straight A, and in the details of life, he also pursues an astonishingly perfect state almost morbidly.In the dormitory, his bed and desk are always clean and tidy, without any clutter.Because of this, Lin Mian often had conflicts with his roommates.A group of half-grown children, when they are at home, most of them stretch out their clothes to eat and open their mouths. Who can be like Lin Mian who doesn't even have a pleat in his shirt?Mutual dislike is inevitable.If it weren't for Zhuang Zhou's protection, I don't know what would have happened.

Zhuang Zhou felt that Lin Mian probably guessed his feelings for him when he stood up for him again and again.

Zhuang Zhou clearly knew that such a man would not take a fancy to him.Zhuang Zhou, who just turned 20 years old, did not have any outstanding achievements, nor did he show impressive abilities, and he deliberately concealed his family background for some necessary reasons—as for how Lin Mian found out about him later. Zhuang Zhou himself didn't know the details.All he knew was that he looked very ordinary at that time.

Even if he looks really handsome.

However, things like appearance are not important in Lin Mian's selection criteria.He doesn't value that, or he does, but there are other things that he values ​​more, and these things are far more important than whether a guy is good-looking or not.Lin Mian has always thought highly of himself, so he urgently needs a partner who is also extraordinary.Outstanding ability, prominent family background, money and status, etc. are all indispensable.

What Zhuang Zhou didn't tell Ling Dongzhi was that he didn't confess his love back then, not just because he wasn't confident enough, but because at that time he had already realized that when Lin Mian faced a suitor, he valued him the most. What matters is not the person himself, but whether there is a dazzling crown on the top of his hair.

This cognition once disappointed the young Zhuang Zhou.

As a result, his first love was exhausted by disappointment again and again, and it died without any problems.

The author has something to say:

Fanwai Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu ([-])

There are not many weapons in the village, and the biggest reliance on the enemy is the few traps outside the village.This was originally dug out by the villagers to guard against the beasts in the mountains.After all, it is a deep mountain and old forest. Jackals, tigers and leopards often come out to look for food at night after the weather is cold. If they run into the village, it is also very dangerous-not all beasts will show a friendly attitude towards them.Especially when they are injured and it is difficult to catch prey to feed themselves, the people in the village and the poultry they raise become an irresistible temptation for them.

The gangsters who came up the mountain were much more cautious than last time.And this time they paid money to buy a few hunters in the mountains to act as guides.These guides led them into three groups, and without anyone noticing, bypassed the deception set up by the mountain gods on the hillside, and reached the vicinity of the village.As for the trap, it is impossible for people in Zhang Village to know.So they're pretty much the first ones in every squad to fall into the trap.

The screams of those who fell into the trap were like a signal.

Uncle Rong let out a long whistle.Before the long tail sound disappeared, the beasts who had been ambushing in the dense forest rushed out one after another.Under the cover of night, these ferocious beasts in the mountains and forests approached the poachers without anyone noticing.With the sound of screams, a disgusting smell of blood began to fill the air.

There are more and more animals.

The scene of the sneak attack started to get crowded.

Uncle Rong felt that things suddenly became not so good.In addition to the leopards and jackals he had brought over in advance, more animals came out from the depths of the mountain.Argali, deer, roe deer, and even hibernating bears... all of them panicked. They didn't know how to dodge when they heard the gunshots and the human struggle. They quickly passed by them and headed down the mountain without looking back. Run away.

"Something's not quite right..."

Uncle Rong hadn't finished his sentence when he heard screams in the night.It was a scream of extreme fear, so heart-piercing that it made the scalp numb.Immediately afterwards, there was another sound in the night sky, as dull as a drum, rumbling from a distance.It seems to come from the top of the head, and it seems to come from the feet.

Uncle Rong knew that something important had happened to him, but the night was dark and there were wild animals fleeing for their lives. He couldn't even see where his people were lying in ambush. He could only hear his own heartbeat, anxious and frightened.

A flame suddenly lit up in the distance.

The moment the flames came on, Uncle Rong saw a crack two to three meters wide appearing under his feet, which passed across his eyes in an instant like lightning, and the people who fought together had no time to distinguish who was his own and who was the attacker. It was swallowed by this sudden crack in the ground.

The screams were drowned out by the roar of the earthquake, and the crack in front of him opened and closed in an instant.Like a monster born out of the sky, after devouring the sacrifice of flesh and blood, it quickly fled into the night.

Uncle Rong ran madly towards the seam.However, the scenery changed too quickly at that moment. When he rushed close, the few people who were standing on the ground just now had disappeared.

It's as if they never showed up.

Not far away, where the fire could not reach, screams of fear came again.

The fear reached the extreme, and Uncle Rong felt a sense of unreality.
