Solstice Secrets

When Zhuang Zhou got home, before he got out of the car, he was keenly aware that the atmosphere in the house was not right.The doors and windows of the living room are closed tightly, and the screams of cats and dogs can be faintly heard from inside...

No need to guess, Ling Dongzhi must be bathing the little ones at home.

Zhuang Zhou was rather dumbfounded.He couldn't figure out why Ling Dongzhi would choose this way to vent every time he was in a bad mood.But it is undeniable that every time after venting like this, his mood will obviously improve.Should he go in now, or should he go in after they're all over, Zhuang Zhou was still struggling outside the door, when he saw a black shadow come out of the door and hit the glass door of the living room with a bang , shaking the glass door again and again.Zhuang Zhou was taken aback by it. With this size and size, there was no one else but his dog son. Was it cornered and wanted to commit suicide by hitting a wall? !

Zhuang Zhou hastily opened the glass door of the living room, bowed his head and laughed to himself.The fur all over Brown Tang's body was wet and sticking to his body. A fat dog that was originally round and round, now seemed to have lost a lot of weight.Brown Tang wagged its tail at its daddy, wanting to come up to him for a hug but worried about his wet hair, looking very pitiful.

Ling Dongzhi was still bathing the cat in the bathroom of the guest room. When he heard the door of the living room, he thought that Brown Sugar was scratching the door, and shouted at him, "What are you afraid of? The hair dryer will only dry your hair , and won't bite you..."

Brown Sugar whimpered and acted like a baby at his father, "That thing is whining, it's scary!"

Ling Dongzhi hated iron for being weak, "Why are you so timid? In fact, you are not a dog, you are a big rat, right?"

"You're the big mouse!" Brown Tang was even more aggrieved, as soon as Ling Dongzhi came back, he forced it to take a bath, and then forced it to blow its fur.In fact, the weather is so warm now, it can go to the garden by itself and blow the cool wind to shake and dry, it won't catch a cold or something!

Ling Dongzhi snorted coldly, "I'm not a mouse, you are a mouse, a stupid mouse with the courage of a grain of rice, and your father is also a mouse spirit. Treacherous, cunning and hateful..."

Zhuang Zhou couldn't bear it anymore, "Okay, why are you scolding me again?"

There was a rattling sound from the bathroom of the guest room, and then Ling Dongzhi's angry voice sounded, "Sneaked in sneakily, are you really a rat?!"

Zhuang Zhou changed his shoes and went into the bathroom with wrinkled brown sugar.Wearing only a T-shirt and shorts, Ling Dongzhi was bathing three kittens in the bathtub.There is only a shallow layer of water in the bathtub, but the three kittens are not afraid, they nest in it obediently, and the little cats pat the flying bubbles with their paws from time to time to play.

Seeing him coming in, Ling Dongzhi snorted and ignored him.

Zhuang Zhou led Brown Sugar aside, first took a big towel to dry off the water on his body, then turned down the temperature of the hair dryer, and blow-dried the dog's hair little by little.

The water vapor in the bathroom was not heavy, and it was filled with the faint tea fragrance of the shower gel. Although the two of them did not speak, the atmosphere in the bathroom was filled with a soothing warmth.Zhuang Zhou spent the whole day as if he wanted to fight a war, until now the tension in his heart was finally relaxed, and his face involuntarily showed a bit of fatigue.

Ling Dongzhi glanced at him, "What did you do, so tired?"

Zhuang Zhou shook his head and didn't make a sound, Ling Dongzhi glanced at him suspiciously and didn't ask further.He could see that Zhuang Zhou had something on his mind, and it most likely had something to do with his nosy grandpa who was fed up. With this look, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

After blow-drying the fur of the cats and dogs, and watching them run to the yard to play as if they were being pardoned, Ling Dongzhi leaned against the edge of the washstand and asked lazily, "What's on your mind? Can't you say it?"

Zhuang Zhou lowered his head and squeezed Ling Dongzhi's hand in his palm, and said as if he had made a lot of determination: "Winter Zhi, let's immigrate."

Ling Dongzhi was stunned.

Once you open your mouth, the following words will come out more smoothly, "Go to the UK or Canada, or wherever you like, as long as you like, we will take a few of them and find a quiet place to live, you can Concentrate on creating, we don’t have to deal with those inexplicable temptations and interferences, and we can walk around when we have time.”

Ling Dongzhi listened expressionlessly, but the look in his eyes softened involuntarily, "Is it stimulated by your grandfather?"

Zhuang Zhou froze for a moment, and nodded helplessly, "I can only express my attitude to him, but I can't play tricks on him. After all, he is an old man, and his children and grandchildren don't listen to him. gone."

"So you want to stay away?"

Zhuang Zhou nodded, with a look of shame in his eyes, "The only way I can think of is to get away from him and go to a place where his hands can't reach, and they have nothing to do with each other."

Ling Dongzhi smiled, "Your evasive attitude is actually a kind of disobedience to him."

Zhuang Zhou pinched his fingers and sighed softly, "There is no better way."

"Who said that?" Ling Dongzhi withdrew his hand and patted him on the face unceremoniously, "Waiting patiently sounds a bit useless, but it's also a helpless solution. I really want to leave now." The words are too decisive, and there is really no room for change in the future. Zhuangzhou, you are blood relatives after all, and I don't think you want to make trouble to this point."

Zhuang Zhou put his head on his shoulder and muttered fiercely, "No one can force me to obey."

Ling Dongzhi smiled and rubbed his head, "What about me?"

Zhuang Zhou lightly bit his neck, "What do you think?"

Ling Dongzhi pressed his hand that was beginning to become dishonest, "Qingshu and I had dinner outside, where did you hang out for dinner?"

Zhuang Zhou replied sullenly: "My dad and the others ate. They said the same thing as you, and told me not to confront the old man. My dad also said that he would talk to the old man."

Ling Dongzhi didn't make a sound.Grandpa Zhuangzhou was born in the army, and his determination is probably far beyond that of ordinary people. Such people become more stubborn as they get older. In their eyes, their children are similar to the soldiers they lead, and obedience to orders is a must.Let them change their thinking habits for most of their lives to think differently and think about their children's thoughts. It is impossible to think about it.

Ling Dongzhi knew that the method Zhuang Zhou said was the safest way out at present, but he really didn't want to just leave everything he was familiar with and walk away.His parents are getting older, and he doesn't want to just lose the job he is familiar with, and then go to a strange world and start everything from scratch.Besides, Qingshu was still looking for their clansman, so he also wanted to stay and help him a little bit.

"Wait a minute," Ling Dongzhi comforted him, "Parents on both sides have passed the Ming Road, and you are missing an old man. In fact, we have more than half of the success."

Zhuang Zhou hugged his waist, feeling so guilty in his heart, "I made you wronged."

Ling Dongzhi is not good at comforting people, and he has almost lost his patience after comforting him with soft words for a long time. Seeing him pouring rice soup endlessly, he immediately got annoyed, "When you know I have been wronged, treat me better, be obedient Just a little bit, don't always gossip with me."

Zhuang Zhou laughed muffled.He knew that his family's winter solstice was the most casual teasing, and after two teases, it showed its small sharp paws like a cat with fried fur.

"Where did you and Qingshu go?"

"Dinner," Ling Dongzhi recalled the scene in the restaurant, and immediately beamed with joy, "The one who took the lead even put on Tu Dabei."

"You mean Tu Shengbei?" Zhuang Zhou was taken aback, "What's going on?"

Ling Dongzhi told him about the incident in the restaurant, and said with a smile: "When the ring was found, his face was really wonderful. If it wasn't for the fear that he would retaliate against me in the future, I really wanted to record it as a souvenir." When I got here, I remembered that before I went home, I still wanted to search the Internet to see if anyone had posted this video on the Internet.Although the Tu family has its own public relations team, the first thing the Tu family will do is to get Tu Shengbei out, there should be a time lag.

Ling Dongzhi did what he said, pushed Zhuang Zhou away and hurried to the study.Zhuang Zhou had no choice but to follow along to have a look.A few hours have passed since the accident. Ling Dongzhi searched in several well-known local forums, but only found two or three photos. I couldn't find anything like a video. I don't know if it was painted or not. The people at home have already taken action.

The photo is not very clear, but it is enough to see Tu Shengbei's downcast face clearly.

Zhuang Zhou patted his head, feeling that this silly boy was too easily satisfied.In his opinion, getting into this kind of trouble is nothing to Tu Shengbei at all.There will be no filing in the police station, and there will be no rumors leaked in the public opinion. At most, Tu Shengbei will be scolded by the elders of his family for "careless".But thinking of Ling Dongzhi's dumb loss at his hands, Zhuang Zhou felt that he could understand his silly and cheerful attitude.

After all, he was still not strong enough.If he is really strong enough, who would dare to give his lover such a disadvantage.

The corners of Zhuang Zhou's mouth were tightly pursed, feeling that he was a little impulsive in handing over the resignation letter so easily.However, Zhuang Chengyan's statement to the outside world is to let him take a vacation, which is a move to retreat.

When Zhuang Zhou came back to his senses, Ling Dongzhi was glaring at him angrily, his fingers were still tapping on the table, "Did you hear what I just said?"

Zhuang Zhou quickly took the initiative to admit his mistake, "I just thought of an extremely important matter, so I was distracted. What did you say? Can you say it again?"

Ling Dongzhi was angry, "You can lose your mind when talking face to face?"

"It's really important." Zhuang Zhou pulled him up from the computer chair, sat on it by himself, and then pulled him to sit on his lap, "Now I'm listening carefully, you can say it again."

Ling Dongzhi said angrily, "I want to have a baby with Qingdou."

Zhuang Zhou was startled, suspecting that he had heard wrongly, "What did you say?!"

"Have a baby!" Ling Dongzhi tugged at his ear and said loudly, "I want to give birth to a child of pure mountain god blood with Qingdou!"

"Don't even think about it!" Zhuang Zhou was furious, "If you have the guts, step on my dead body and have children with other women!"

He had an extremely frustrated day, and he finally got home and relaxed for a few minutes. Ling Dongzhi gave him another blow to the head, and Zhuang Zhou immediately went berserk. He left behind these words and turned away. Intentionally or not, he slammed the door viciously.

Because of the excessive force, the wooden door hit the door frame and was bounced open, hitting the wall with a bang.

Ling Dongzhi looked at the dangling wooden door stupidly, and after a long time, he flattened his mouth and his eye circles were slightly red.

"I haven't finished my words..."

Rewinding the time to a few hours ago, Ling Dongzhi, who was full and full, used a toothpick to pick and choose cantaloupe in the fruit plate to eat, while Qingshu held a teacup and looked at him thoughtfully.Ling Dongzhi couldn't stand being watched by him, so he handed over the fruit fork in his hand, "Brother, eat some fruit."

Qingshu hesitated for a moment, then took the fruit fork.

"Eat more," Ling Dong said sincerely, don't look at me anymore.

Qing Shu put down the things in his hands as if he had made up his mind, looked at him solemnly and said, "Dong Zhi, have you ever thought about having a child of your own?"

Ling Dongzhi choked on the fruit juice in his mouth, and coughed loudly.

Qing Shu stared at him stubbornly, "I know you heard clearly."

Ling Dongzhi coughed and asked him back, "cough...cough cough, why do you think about the child's problem?"

Qingshu sighed, "Qingdou is almost thirty. For women of the Mountain God clan, after the age of thirty, their fertility will be greatly reduced, and it is very difficult to conceive."

Ling Dongzhi's jaw dropped, "Qing...Qingdou?!"

He hasn't seen this man at all, has he? !

Ling Dongzhi felt that Qingshu must be crazy, and what he said must not mean what he guessed, "Her fertility has half a dime relationship with me, I have never seen her..."

Qingshu pressed his arm and patted it, "The only mountain gods I know are so few, if we can leave descendants, I think..."

Ling Dongzhi looked at him strangely, "You and Qingdou have known each other for so long, why didn't you go up by yourself?"

Qingshu smiled wryly, "We are almost like brothers and sisters..."

Ling Dongzhi understood.

Qingshu looked at him hopefully, "Or artificial insemination..."

Ling Dongzhi shook his head slowly, "No way, brother. I can't do it."

Qing Shu's eyes darkened slightly, "Can't it be done..."

"Maybe someday in the future, I'll want a child. But I don't think about using this child as a... a tool to continue something."

This was the result that Qingshu had expected, but he was still very disappointed.

"And even if Aomame and I give birth to a child with the blood of the mountain gods, what will happen when he grows up? Where can I find him a partner of the same race?"

Ling Dongzhi looked at the silent green tree, and said slowly: "The most important thing is, I don't want my child to bear such a heavy burden when he grows up. If one day he really comes to this world, I want him to have a life of his own."
