Balance beam

Chapter 23

The characters standing on the clouds always say some retreat words, sometimes to others and sometimes to themselves. In the end, they are just talking. How many people will take it seriously?

Of course Li Jia believed in Palin's sincerity when he said these words, and also believed that he was so tired that he needed such a haven to rest.But there is just a place to rest, as long as Peiqian is still the current Qian Peilin, he can go anywhere for vacation, and he can be with anyone.It's just that they will never bask in the sun there for the elderly, cook in a small room, and take care of the small garden every day to blow the sea breeze. Oh, how could they be so lucky?

Li Jia is currently reading the autobiography of a president. The man who was impeached during his term of office created many firsts. In front of thousands of spectators.From the most abject to the most prosperous, there are always people around.

What makes Li Jia most sad is the last photo. The man who was appointed as the imperial servant in advance is standing in the office, with his back to the camera. The lonely back is so sharply contrasted with the previous scene full of thousands of people. There is only a line of small words under the photo "Thank you XX took such a photo for me." Even though it is the simplest words, the sadness hits my heart like mountains and seas, so I can chew even the most obscure words carefully.They are obviously two completely different people, whether it is personality or behavior, Li Jia feels that he is very similar to Palin for no reason.

Because it was the most perfect interpretation of the end of a hero, and because it was the impatience of not being reconciled and having to let go, Li Jia didn't want his Palin to fall into such a situation one day.Even if he showed a lonely expression inadvertently, he would feel heartache.

The man in the book went from standing alone canvassing votes to working hard in politics for more than ten years. The more he read, the more chilling he became, the more he knew that he had no way out.Those prosperity, finally returned to the ordinary, no one will think of it except himself.It is precisely because of the glory of the past that it is more difficult to bear the ordinary, just like those stars who have retired and come back, they will always miss the brilliance under the spotlight, even if it is not as good as before, they will stand on the stage again.And when the once invincible hero finally lives in a certain place, the so-called ordinary is not enjoying happiness, but torture.Yan Xishan, who is known as the king of Shanxi, and Bai Qishi, who once murdered captives, are actually the cruelest punishment. Those who pursue power stay away from the political center and always become peripheral spectators. How heartburning is that? helpless.

Of course Li Jia yearned for such a small island, and of course yearned for only seeing Palin every day, but that was just a dream after all, the extravagant dream of an ordinary old man.Just imagining such a perfect dream on such a beautiful night is enough for him.

If he could be with Palin when he was old, even if they shared a bowl of rice, they would be very happy.But will Palin be happy?Li Jia closed his eyes and gasped for breath. The magazine in his hand rolled onto the bed, and was blown by the wind to quickly flip through the pages. The pages were like a fast-rotating windmill, and there was no longer any pause.

Palin kissed heartily, cherishing the person under him with all his enthusiasm, and felt that he was very strange. Every time he got to a certain extreme with this person, there would always be such a thought in his mind, "It would be nice if I could die now." .”

What their future will look like, Palin has never thought about it, just like he has no plan. After so many years with Sonia, people who are too serious will always be played by life, and he can no longer stand the toss Now, "going with the flow" is not so much a compromise as it is a calm.

He and Li Jia had no common topic, because the scope of communication was different, and after nine years, many people talked about many things that Li Jia knew that he didn't know, and what he knew Li Jia didn't know, so they didn't say anything. Just hugging each other like this, satisfaction fills the atrium.

Li Jia put the back of his hand on his eyes, and even though he felt tired again, he still shook in conjunction with it. He really didn't have the energy to do more pandering. In order to stay awake, he always had something to think about in his mind, not Palin. Every time I think about him, I feel empty and uncomfortable.

A small figure in his dazed mind turned from virtual to real, Li Jia smiled reassuringly, and wanted to have a good talk with Jiang Jiang on the weekend. His homework has always been good, but as a father, he still needs to care about his studies.I didn't have time to read his roll paper last time, and I need to understand the tutoring content of the cram school properly.It seems that the cooking oil at home is not enough, I need to buy it again, the brand of shampoo seems to be changed, and the toothpaste is also the same, the herbal one used to be very good, why should I change it?Is it because Jiang Jiang doesn't have enough pocket money?Now this crystal is obviously cheaper.

Li Jia just nestled under Palin and fell asleep. Palin pressed his palm against his cheek and stroked back and forth, with a doting smile on his face.Perrin pulled away, found a towel to help him clean up, carefully covered Li with a quilt, and then walked outside with his trousers.He took out the mobile phone in his trouser pocket, there were several incoming calls on it, he picked the least important one and dialed it back, it was the secretary he trusted the most.

"Ah, Mr. Qian, I want to remind you of the ribbon-cutting of Connor's company at nine o'clock tomorrow. Also, I have booked a ticket to Changxia at three o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Should I send it there or someone will come to your office to pick it up?"

With a residual smile on Palin's face, he squinted his eyes slightly and looked into the air. The low-pitched music in the speakers lingered softly, "I don't need the air ticket anymore, and I'll put off tomorrow's affairs. I'm not feeling well, don't Make people bother me."

Walking into the room with bare feet, the man on the bed was still asleep, and Perrin kissed him lightly on the cheek.The words "Golden House Cangjiao" flashed unexpectedly in his mind, and Palin laughed out loud. This is really a beautiful word, but if you wander in a house where no one is around, even if you are full of liars everywhere. Added breath, feeling is also very bad.Since it is a small nest of comfort, it is most suitable for cuddling with each other like this. Tomorrow, let's pamper yourself and treat it as a vacation for yourself!

When Li Jia woke up, the first thing he saw were the stars in the sky. Because this residence was built in a high-rise apartment on the outskirts of the city, the distance between the buildings was enough to build another house, and the lighting at ten o'clock was guaranteed to shine on Below the second floor, the space is just right.

His bed is by the window, so he often enjoys the wind blowing in without drawing the curtains.

You can’t see so many stars in heavily polluted urban areas. Li Jia looked at them one by one in a daze, only to find that the seasons had already changed. When he first lived here, he could still see the shining W-shaped stars. Now it is the Sagittarius hanging on it. Time flies so fast, it turns out that it has lived in this room for so long.

Habitually touched the place around him, it was cold, Li Jiachang sighed.Did the people in the small mansion in the old days often do the same?Li Jia laughed at himself, and lightly beat his forehead with the back of his hand, repeatedly forbidding himself to think about these things, but always inadvertently walking his mind.Being able to be with Palin is already an extravagant wish. If he has a countdown watch, the current time has exceeded expectations, so how dare he complain.

Palin came out of the bathroom with a scarf around his waist. "What are you thinking?" He squatted down from the bed and kissed the back of Li Jia's hand.

Li Jia closed his eyes and smiled, "Are you still there?" It was a surprise that he was still here at this time.

Palin pinched Li Jia's nose and forced him to look at him, "Of course I'm here. You are really capable. I thought you passed out when you slept at that time. Hold you and cry and confess, Li Jia, Don't leave me, you are doing artificial respiration and looking for an ambulance, and in the end, you are snoring."

Li Jia opened his mouth in surprise at first, but was amused by him and laughed out loud, "Nonsense," fiddled with Palin's hair, "I won't leave you."

Li Jia's voice was hoarse and full of emotion, and his heart couldn't help but move when he heard it.Palin's eyes darkened in an instant, he lowered his head and put his face on the back of Li Jia's hand, staring at a certain place on the ground, his lower eyelids trembled, and then he closed his eyes.

It's not that he can't listen to the promise, but it's an extremely uncomfortable sense of disobedience to get such a promise at this time.

Palin's hair was not completely dried, although it was in the bathroom, because it was past midnight, and worried that it would affect Li Jia's rest, he only dried it with a towel after a few blows.Li Jia wrapped a lock of Palin's hair with his hands, and pulled it down vigorously, wringing out a small stream of water.Palin pursed his lips with a tangled expression, Li Jia chuckled, who made him not respond, after a little revenge, he really felt refreshed, and then forced himself to get up and go to take a shower.

Li Jia got off the ground from the other side of the bed, and Palin only pulled lightly on this side, "Are you able to walk?" Li Jia fell onto the bed with a thump. Suddenly he lifted it up, really startled, Li Jia grabbed Palin angrily, Palin smiled and hugged him, "I've already wiped it off for you."

Li Jia was a little embarrassed. Although Palin was always considerate, he would always be embarrassed if he was reminded to see it. "I still feel uncomfortable." On the head, put one leg up on him, and looked in by the light, "Don't move." He poked his fingers a little bit, "Sure enough, there are still residues." Untied the towel around his waist, and caught the juice that was oozing out again, Then carefully wipe the sides and inner thighs. Palin's hair was sticking to Li Jia's feet. It was wet. Li Jia could see what was between Palin's crotch, and the roots of his thighs couldn't help but feel Shaking a bit, there was a semi-spiritual state again.

Palin smiled and flicked the top of it with his finger. "I'll carry you to the bathroom!"

Li Jia shook his head to say no.

Palin thought seriously, "It's good to keep it on, it will save you trouble for a while, and you need to lubricate it again." Li Jia looked at him with a bitter face, "Let's go to the bathroom!"

Still saving trouble in the bathroom, Li Jia let Palin indulge once after being teased to full strength, although he felt that he had more energy than energy.When being kissed again, Palin murmured softly, "Why do I like you so much?" Li Jia panted and responded, "Yeah, why? Why do I like you so much?" Like a repeater The same repetition, what they said was each other's truth.

Perrin found that since Li Jia came back, he seldom refused him, even if it was an excessive request, he would blush and agree. He always wanted to find a time to explore where the bottom line was, and finally made full use of this vacation.Overturning day and night, he just loves to his heart's content, but he finds that Li Jia is considerate and considerate, which can be described as tactful and charming, so Palin will always make further explorations under the agitation of his mind.

Of course Li Jia felt uncomfortable, but when he hoarsely shouted "Palin~Palin~" over and over again and thought he couldn't do it anymore, he was still in a daze after release, feeling as if he could do it again, which was both exciting and embarrassing.This kind of self also surprised Li Jia. He lived a life like an ascetic monk at a wolf-like age. He really didn't know how he got here before, or how he became like this now.

Li Jia was puzzled by his behavior, but Palin felt that it was an unexpected surprise. When he moved the tray to the bed, even the sheets became so cute.

Both of them were very tired and didn't have any extra energy to cook. Perrin heated up a bag of Kundu and used a big sea bowl. The two shared the food and looked at each other through the steaming heat. They had such thoughts for a moment." It would be great if it could always be like this." But no one dared to say it out, and had some hope that it would "break" once they said it out, so they buried it silently in their hearts, hoping that this kind of time would last longer.

Palin lay on the side tired, resting with his eyes closed, but Li Jia couldn't fall asleep. He stroked his brows and eyes, giggled, bit his nose with his teeth, and saw that Palin was really asleep, so he put on his clothes. The morning coat went outside.Looking at the sky in a daze for a while, I wanted to get a glass of water to drink, but I accidentally saw the hands on the clock, only to realize that it was past dinner time, and I was dumbfounded thinking that I missed the trip home.

Li Jia scratched his hair in frustration, picked up the phone after a lot of struggle, dialed a few numbers, hung up, took a deep breath and cheered himself up.The figure shown in the floor-to-ceiling mirror, with bright red lips and hot cheeks, was himself.So familiar yet so unfamiliar, Li Jia dialed his son with traces all over his body, and Li Jia was so guilty that the energy he had just mentioned was instantly broken.

Li Jia stared at himself in a daze, but Jiang Jiang called back, "Dad, is it you? What's wrong?... Didn't come back, why? Are you uncomfortable?... No? Why is your voice wrong? It's so hoarse, your nose What's wrong?"

Of course he was dumb, and after shouting for so long, Li Jia explained embarrassingly, "It's nothing, it might be because the windows are open, and I have a cold."

"A cold is a cold, and it's still hot. Is it hot today?" Jiang Jiang's voice roared into the microphone. Because of his son's care, Li Jia had a reassuring smile on his face.

"Father, you are not a child anymore, okay? Why do you always make such mistakes? Can you have some common sense? This season is not yet dog days, so it is not suitable to sleep with windows open! Really, without me, you can't even sleep." I can't take care of you well...Okay, okay, I understand, you don't need to explain, you should worry about yourself!...Have you taken any medicine? What about meals? What do you do all day? You don't take any medicine or medicine...um , I see, you go to rest!"

Li Jia was about to chatter a few more words, but when he saw Palin leaning against the wall with his arms folded and looking at him, he quickly ended the line, "When did you wake up?"

Palin came over and kissed his neck, and undressed him naturally with his fingers in front of him. "While you're talking on the phone."

Perrin looked directly at Li Jia in the mirror, "You really are a potential school, and you are so energetic."

Li Jia blushed up to the neck, and turned his face away from Palin's sight.

Palin hugged Li Jia and sat on his lap. He kneaded a large area of ​​his body with both hands. His already sensitive body immediately ignited red when he touched Palin's fingers.Perrin watched Li Jia's changes with a smile, "I don't have the strength to do it again, why don't you move yourself?"

Li Jia blushed and felt ashamed. Even though he had reached his limit, he still had such a reaction. He was both puzzled and uneasy, "Stop making trouble, I'm too tired, I just want to sleep."

Palin held Li Jia's face and kissed again and again. Li Jia tentatively asked, "Is there an evening flight?" Palin squinted at him, "Why? What's the matter?" Li Jia sat on Palin's lap, Scratching his head in embarrassment, "It's nothing, I just want to go home and have a look." Palin stared at him, Li Jia smiled, and the two were speechless for a moment.

Palin took a deep breath, "You are such a regular guy, you go on Friday night and come back on Monday night." With an expression of both complaint and jealousy, Li Jia couldn't help but raised his hand to touch his face, "Jiang Jiang is at home, I don't care. rest assured."

"It's not that I don't want you to go back, I'm afraid of your hard work."

Li Jia shook his head solemnly, "It's not hard."

Palin shook his knee upwards, and Li Jia immediately roared and screamed, the discomfort coming from below couldn't stand this kind of mischievous teasing.

Facing the accusing eyes of Li Jia, Palin kissed him, "You don't work hard, I work hard, I think you think hard." After speaking, Palin carried Li Jia into the room, and pressed him close together. Jia screamed and dodged, but was crushed to death, Palin moved his lower body and asked, "Should we go?" It was full of teasing, his hands were scratching under his armpit, Li Jia laughed and begged for mercy, Palin posted Breathing into his ear, "Believe it or not, I did it until you couldn't get out of bed?"

Li Jia looked at him with squinted eyes, "You are powerless."

"Really? Believe it or not, I have other ways."

Li Jia had no choice but to ask for forgiveness, and promised not to make a fuss to go home before giving up.

Palin nonsensically made trouble, "Is it important for me or him?"

Li Jia didn't expect Palin to be so difficult, and almost blurted out "he is important."

The moment I opened my mouth, I changed it to "It's all important, it's all important."

Palin kissed him contentedly, like a little boy who got his favorite toy, Li Jia's return trip this week was blocked after all.

Sonia wrapped her fingers around the phone line and acted like a baby, "Dad~" Through the signal line, she could see the little angel of love hovering above her father's head, writing the words "Responsive" with a magic wand.Of course Suo's father likes his daughter to act like a baby, but every time his daughter calls him in such an overly sweet voice, it will always cause him all kinds of trouble, and Suo's father has no choice but to answer, "What's the matter?"

Sonia pouted, "Can't I call you for nothing? I miss you!"

"Come on, let's talk first, what are you going to do?"

"I bought a car."

"Ah."

"It's my name."

"Oh."

"Father." Sonia pinched her waist, pretending to be angry.

Suo's father laughed, "So what? Don't say it's filial piety to Dad."

"Dad~"

"Okay, what do you want me to do? Is there something missing? Do you need me to match it?"

"That's right, do you have a wood processing factory?"

Suo's father recalled that he had such a small company, he took care of his old friend's face and bought shares, specializing in mahogany furniture processing, and the profit after one year was not enough for tea money. Why did Sonia care about it? "There is such a factory."

"Great, my car, can you take the tent over there?"

"Why? Palin didn't buy it for you?" Suo's father's voice had become severe.

"Not anymore."

"what is that?"

"I already have several cars, I don't want him to know about this." Suo's father was silent for a while, then lowered his voice, gritted his teeth and called his daughter's name, "Sonia."

"Dad~"

"Are you crazy?"

"Dad, I'm your daughter, why do you say that about me?"

"You are my daughter, I don't know what you are going to do?"

Suofaniya has always been generous. In the past several affairs, she has benefited more or less from her, and because of the involvement of interests, their relationship fermented and cooled quickly, but it was only for a while. passion.Now he has to pay his concubine and take his account, Suo's father is really helpless, if his son-in-law finds out, his old face is really embarrassing.

"Father, you think too much. It's a gift for a friend. Oh, do you agree?" Sonia used her trump card to carry the rascal's spirit to the end, and Suo's father had to surrender. "Oh, Dad, I love you so much!" Hearing his daughter's cheers, Suo's father also had a smile on his face, "You child, don't you love me the most at this moment?" "No, Dad, I have always loved you." I love you very much."

Suo's father sighed sincerely, "Sonia, do you know? Dad's whole heart is on you, always worrying about you, always worrying about your detours, watching you walk step by step, how does dad feel?" .Dad wants you to be happy!"

Sonia was speechless for a moment.

"Okay, I won't talk about you anymore, are you going to see your mother-in-law?"

"Yes." Sonia murmured.

She didn't want to go to that small house, but she still wanted to dress up beautifully. Palin's father's old colleagues and friends lived there, so it was no wonder his father didn't want to move away. Their face was his face, and they lived in someone else's. Amidst the sincere compliments from envy and good friends, even the vain sense of accomplishment is enjoyed complacently.

Sonia took her decent husband and son, and set off in a row in the extended version that only a nouveau riche would drive. Sonia curled her lips, "I don't use this car a few times a year, and it goes to your house every time." " Palin glanced at her, Sonia avoided the attack, and took out a drink from the refrigerator to her son, "Songsong, what did you say when you saw grandma?"

Songsong put the drink on his cheeks to cool down, and replied obediently, "Grandma, I miss you, grandma and I are the best." Palin laughed out loud, and Sonia also laughed, "You were like this when you were young?" Palin shook his head , Songsong leaned over, "Actually, my mother and I are the best." Seeing his father looking at him, Song Song sat on Palin's lap and climbed up. "Dad, you and I are the best." Palin looked up and laughed.

Sonia helped her son pull up the hem of his clothes, and tidied his forehead hair with a little mousse to one side. Although he looked a little greasy, he was still the most beautiful boy. Is it okay for Yuli at home to fight?"

The last time Songsong fought with other people's children, the two couples apologized. The other party just watched Palin grow up and didn't take their backgrounds seriously. He taught one set of lessons after another, and Sonia felt embarrassed. It's not easy to get mad, and I'm very depressed, so I have to advise my son not to make trouble again.Songsong agreed happily, got out of the car at the location, and then had a good time and rolled to the sand pile with Yuli.

"We don't have so much sand over there, you are so lucky."

Yuli raised his face proudly, "That's right, our house is being renovated, you put it in that small bowl, we're going to cook now, I'm going to pick two petals for a platter..."

Seeing her son smiling foolishly, rolling back his sleeves and playing house in a decent manner, with his dirty hands rubbing against the front of his shirt, Sonia smiled happily.Palin's mother stood on the balcony and inhaled, "Oh, it's so dirty, don't you care about it, Sonia?" Sonia turned her head, "It's okay, Mom, it's good for him to get in touch with nature."

Palin's mother stared at her daughter-in-law dumbfounded. No matter how different their education methods are, they would not be able to manage the children like sheep, but the daughter-in-law has always had the initiative to speak and is authoritative. It is rare to be happy together. Palin's mother opened her mouth and said He swallowed the words he wanted to say.

Looking back and seeing her son who was putting presents on the table, Palin's mother was moved in her heart, "I saw Li Jia today, carrying a box of health care products, maybe I came to see his mother."

The son's back paused for a moment, he let out an oh, then straightened up, and whispered to his mother, "Then I'll go and see him."

Palin's mother opened her mouth wide in surprise, her heart almost jumped out of her heart, "Palin~" Before she could say all the names, her son had already disappeared at the door.
