Solstice Secrets

The habit of Lingdong Solstice is to leave a slit on the balcony window, but the French door leading to the living room from the balcony must be closed.He is willing to give these cats and dogs a little help within his ability.But this kind of help also has a prerequisite, that is, it cannot affect his own life.

Ling Dongzhi was originally a person who valued privacy very much, he didn't like noise, and he didn't like any unauthorized living things coming and going in and out of his territory.Especially in winter, there are more cats and cats who come to hide from the cold than before. It is impossible for Ling Dongzhi to figure out where they all came from, and it is even more impossible to give every visitor a bath.He doesn't have the time, let alone the energy.All he can do is close the balcony door to maintain his living space, and at the same time, let these uninvited little guests have a place to temporarily avoid the wind and snow.

The little boy stood up halfway, pressing his two front paws on the glass door and meowing.It had just entered autumn when it left, and I hadn't seen it for two or three months. It had gained a lot of weight, and its cat face was round, like a big meat bun with its folds stretched out.As soon as Ling Dongzhi opened the balcony door, Xiao Yang rushed over, rubbing around his ankles to make intimate.

Ling Dongzhi squatted down, stretched out his hand and rubbed it twice, "It's so soft, it has gained a lot of weight. Have you just come back? Where's the servant?"

"My servant went to find Xiao Hui, but he hasn't come here yet." Xiao Mian'er licked his palm flatteringly, "Do you miss me, Winter Solstice?"

"I miss you." Ling Dongzhi said with a smile, "You didn't say goodbye to me when you left. Little heartless."

"What are you talking about?" Xiao Mao buried her head in his palm and rubbed it, "Isn't that embarrassing?"

"You still know that you are embarrassed?" Ling Dongzhi was amused by it, "Did you go to that fishing village? Xiao Hui said that you went with the servants, did you encounter any trouble?"

"There will definitely be some troubles," Xiao Gang'er snorted twice arrogantly, "but I've solved them all."

Ling Dongzhi exaggerated it, "Have you grown your skills?"

"Of course." The little guy was flattered, and after turning his eyes around the balcony, he changed into a not-so-happy expression, "You have a lot of other people's strange smells here... When I'm gone, there are many The wild cat came to beat the autumn wind, right?"

This guy also knows the word "autumn wind"?Ling Dongzhi felt a faint embarrassment in his heart.Even if no one reminds it, it should remember that it is actually a wild cat, right?He hasn't disliked it yet, but it has disliked others.

Ling Dongzhi slapped him on the head, "Don't try to run into my room. If you want to come in, take a shower first!"

"Then... let's forget about it." Xiao Gang'er hesitated for a moment, then retreated to the balcony in despair, "By the way, Winter Solstice, I caused you trouble when I left, what happened afterwards? "

Ling Dongzhi shook his head, "You and the servants have run away, the police are busy all day and night, how can they have so much time to look for you. Besides, the owner doesn't care about it. I guess that's the way it is gone."

Xiao Guang'er breathed a sigh of relief, and exaggeratedly raised his paws and stroked his chest twice, "That's good, that's good."

Ling Dongzhi was a little moved.

Xiao Yanger said again: "I really want to hurt you, let the police arrest you, whose house will I go to eat the little yellow croaker in the future?"

Midwinter Solstice, "..."

Xiao Mian'er was still congratulating himself, "If you don't even have a place to hide from the rain, it will be miserable."

Midwinter Solstice, "..."

Xiao Mao thought for a while, then leaned over to remind him, "Don't use a handkerchief anymore. It's so unsafe. The police call that thing... a clue."

Ling Dongzhi ground his molars, "You better get out early."

The next day after work, Zhuang Zhou came to pick him up.The car drove out of the campus, headed north all the way, and drove into the back street of the art museum after a while.

Ling Dongzhi never thought that someone would open a restaurant in such a place.In addition to the art museum, there is a jade shop on this street, and there is a relatively famous foreign language bookstore on the corner of the street. Although it is also a busy street, compared with the commercial street, the traffic flow is much worse.Maybe people just want an effect that the aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys.

The restaurant that Zhuang Zhou mentioned didn't look special from the outside, and it didn't have the signboard of the boss like other restaurants.Ling Dongzhi reckoned that this was probably the recipe of a private restaurant.The distinguished guests came here as soon as they knew the way, and the non-identified guests walked past without knowing that there is actually something beautiful behind this inconspicuous door.

When the two of them entered, there were already several familiar guests in the foyer, talking and laughing together. When they saw the two people who pushed the door in, one of them greeted them with a smile, "Why did you come? I also expect you to come to help me greet people earlier, but you will be lazy."

This young man was about the same age as Zhuang Zhou, with gentle eyes and a familiar tone.Turning around and seeing Ling Dongzhi, he was stunned for a moment, with a thoughtful look in his eyes, "This is..."

Zhuang Zhou draped Ling Dongzhi's shoulders and pushed him forward, "Ling Dongzhi. He Kuan. Lao He is the owner of this shop."

He Kuan, as his name suggests, with a smile on his face, looks friendly to everyone.He exchanged greetings with Ling Dongzhi, and when he looked at Zhuang Zhou again, his eyes were quite meaningful.

"Since I'm Zhuang Er's friend, I'm not an outsider here." He Kuan looked at Ling Dong Zhi with a sincere smile on his face, "The people who came today are all acquaintances, so I'm afraid they will inevitably drink a few drinks with each other. What if Zhuang Er drinks later? If there are too many, you have to watch him for me."

Ling Dongzhi pursed his lips and did not speak.He felt that this and the boss must have misunderstood something.

Zhuang Zhou looked around as if he didn't hear anything, then turned around and asked Ling Dongzhi, "How do you think he's cleaning up here?"

The size of the restaurant is really small. In order to entertain guests, the doors of several elegant rooms are open. With a cursory glance, it is full of dishes and can accommodate four tables of guests at the same time.Ling Dongzhi could see that the tables and chairs here were all genuine good things, but he didn't know much about the others, he just felt that the eyes were full of unobtrusive wealth.Sure enough, it's not the place for ordinary people like him to settle down.

"Very good." Ling Dongzhi nodded politely, "The decoration is also in place."

He Kuan narrowed his eyes with a smile, "That is, I specially asked the master of Chinese studies to give me advice."

Zhuang Zhou draped Ling Dongzhi's shoulders to one side, "Go, I'll show you around."

He Kuan chased after him and shouted: "Hey, let me tell you, so who, those two from the Tu family will come over in a while, don't embarrass me."

Zhuang Zhou stopped in his tracks and squinted at He Kuan, "Are those two coming too? You invited them?"

He Kuan spread his hands, with a helpless expression on his face, "The relationship between his family and my old man...you know it too."

Zhuang Zhou frowned, "Okay, I see."

He Kuan glanced at Zhuang Zhou's hand on Ling Dongzhi's shoulder, paused for a moment, then moved away calmly, and said to Ling Dongzhi with a smile: "I still have to greet others, you and Zhuang Er can do whatever you want." , don't be shy."

When Ling Dongzhi heard the words "You're welcome", he had already started to regret it.Before accepting the invitation, Ling Dongzhi only thought that after eating this meal, there would be no further favor between the two of them, and they would be relaxed.What's more, I don't want to have dinner alone with Zhuang Zhou, so a public gathering place is really suitable.But after he came here, he found that it was not as simple as he imagined. The guests who came here to socialize should all be in the same circle in Zhuangzhou. They chatted or nodded with each other occasionally, and they were all very familiar with each other. Relationship.Because of this, when they looked at Ling Dongzhi, their eyes were somewhat thought-provoking.Ling Dongzhi was originally an extremely sensitive person, and when he realized this, he couldn't help feeling a little displeased.

Ling Dongzhi was thinking about what reason to leave first, when he saw the door open, and several people walked in talking and laughing.
