Water lanterns and dreams in 1 nights

, It may be cruel to say this, but as long as they maintain a good balance of constraints, I will never lean towards one side.I need a normal family, I like to maintain neutrality, so I don't care about the increasing pressure, they are like balloons that are gradually inflated, and when they are full, they burst with a "pop", but it's nothing serious It's just an empty sound, not much force.

Xiuyi woke up more and more times at night. Every time, she went to our room to wake me up and asked me for help. Liangzi sometimes knew about it, and sometimes fell asleep. Looking at my face, I handed it to Xiuyi as if nothing had happened, "You don't seem to be sleeping very well these days. You don't worry me so you don't want to tell me, but you can't avoid medical treatment." Liangzi smiled kindly, "After all, uncle It's not a tranquilizer, so what's the use of looking for him all the time?"

"I understand," Xiuyi said with a smile, "I'm sorry, uncle, I have to trouble you to accompany me every time before I can fall asleep. Thank you for agreeing to my request every time."

"It's okay," Ryoko glanced at me, then turned his head and answered Xiuyi's eyes for me, "This is what he should do as an elder."

Xiuyi was originally leaning on the table to drink water, but suddenly put down the water glass, walked around Yoshiko in front of him, and walked towards me who was sitting on the sofa.His height has grown again, and his stature is almost approaching me. He sat down very close to me, bent his elbows on my shoulders, leaned his head on it, looked sideways at Yoshiko, and thanked me sweetly again .

I know what tricks he's playing.

He was provoking Yoshiko.

He was trying to irritate her, force her to lose her composure, go crazy in front of me, and make me distance myself from her.But he can't do it.

I respect Yoshiko as my wife, she perfectly fulfills every responsibility that the world requires of a wife, even if I don't ask her, she has always been above reproach.I really don't lean in which direction, because I have a clear conclusion in my heart - my wife and juniors, my plan for them is quite simple, they will always be at a predetermined distance from me, and will not be closer or closer. estranged.

Liangzi brushed her temples calmly, and beckoned to me, "Come on, help me see if the newly bought dress fits me." I told Xiuyi to sit upright, got up and walked towards Liangzi.She took my hand automatically, unnecessarily intimately—but I let her do it.

The moment before Ryoko and I walked into the bedroom, I turned to look at Xiuyi, he looked at us without blinking, and for a moment I didn't know how to describe his expression.Our eyes met for two or three seconds, and then he lowered his eyes and stopped looking at him. His sitting posture was still upright. Yoshiko taught him very well.His hands are quietly hanging on his knees, his neck is slender, and his jaw line is clear. The picture of him sitting there makes me realize that he is no longer the timid bear-like child who poked his head out of the foam in the bathtub. He is faster than we imagined. Over time, he grew into a tall, handsome boy.From his sitting body and drooping neck, I tried to identify an emotion and judged it as "loneliness".

Again, I choose not to say a word.

Ignoring the undercurrent, I did my daily work step by step, teaching, going home, and writing articles.I heard that the article published in the newspaper last week unexpectedly caused a response. It was a sharply worded article that hinted at progress. I always believed that a big war was imminent and inevitable. The peace in front of me was extremely fragile. The original rice paper is the same, it dissolves when it touches water, and the people must forge ahead and plan hard.Some people think it is alarmist talk, but the fact is that the national strength is still weak and lags behind many big countries, but it is rich in products. It is too idealistic to expect a strong country to be civilized, restrained, and reciprocal.

I like an orderly state, it is conducive to maintaining the stability of my life. In this situation, my position coincides with those who save the country. I should contribute to the construction of order and justice. The articles I write come from my will, and what I am exaggerating and mobilizing is positive. Emotions, encourage young people with lofty ideals to run for the future of the motherland regardless of the indifference of others in the society.

Xiuyi’s elementary school principal, Zuo Linze, has become a frequent visitor to my house since we met again a few years ago, bringing tea, carp and other seasonal things to the door in his spare time, and chatting with me miscellaneously.From his attitude towards me and the patchwork of his words, I feel that I seem to be a cold-hearted image in his heart, which makes me laugh at myself in my heart, that an indifferent and ordinary person like me can actually lie Get enthusiastic compliments from others.

Regardless of everyone's worries, news came soon after that the situation in a small number of conflicting areas had subsided, and the general situation maintained a trembling peace.Soon, August came, and the scorching heat of summer swept across the land.

23. Bad boy 09

This year's summer is just right, enough to make everything grow vigorously and crazily, but not too high temperature to make people restless day and night.Taking advantage of the summer vacation, Xiuyi suggested going to the beach.The nearest beach to us is in Yibin, more than 50 miles away. The distance is not too far. It takes about two hours by car. It is considered as a long-lost vacation, so we planned a trip.

The local sea water is famous for its clarity and magnificence. The nearby water is like the color of a robin's egg, between blue and green. Waves of white fine waves rush to the white sand beach, bringing and carrying away the empty shells of snails and shellfish. Broken coral in the sand mixed together.

There are not a few people who have the idea of ​​visiting the sea. We rented a huge parasol and erected it on the beach nearby, as well as two deck chairs.There are a lot of visitors on the seashore. People always need a certain way and space to relax in the unbearable and oppressive atmosphere.

Yoshiko and I didn't plan to go into the water, so we put on normal summer shirts, and we planned to turn back when Xiuyi had his fill.Xiuyi was very interested, and changed into black half pants as a swimsuit, probably due to the education he has received, after all, we can't bare our bodies calmly like Westerners and enjoy ourselves.

Xiuyi has a smooth and firm figure, with a graceful upper arm covered by a thin layer of muscle, well-proportioned and slender calves, and delicate ivory-like skin. His body exudes a youthful atmosphere, which is what I do not care about. Incomparable.The most common evaluation I receive from people who know me is that I am calm and stable, as if I am not anxious or panic when encountering anything, but is this a good quality?Not necessarily so.It seems to me dead, is a guy who has never experienced strong emotional fluctuations alive?Let alone.

My thoughts are mixed and intertwined, and I can't justify myself.I not only express my preference for a peaceful life, but also am not afraid to enjoy a little excitement.How do you say that? "As long as there is no danger, everyone is willing to act outside the rules." As the years passed, I felt the credibility of this statement more and more, but unfortunately I can't remember where I got it from.

Yoshiko and I each occupied a chair and lay on our backs. The shadow cast by the parasol enveloped us perfectly, not to mention very cool. Occasionally, the sea breeze blowing on our faces, accompanied by the pleasant noise of the waves, also made us peaceful.

After Xiuyi finished stretching, he went into the water by himself, moving back and forth between shallow waters, not going deep.Because the water level is relatively deep, the management personnel pulled the grass rope to surround it to show the danger, and the rope is forbidden to cross.

People of all skin colors are intertwined on the beach, with different tones and shades, and there are differences. People often say a set of words, "naked/naked truth", and the people here can't be called naked/naked. The strange thing is , when people take off their clothes, the less they wear, the harder it is for me to tell who is who.

In the lazy atmosphere on the beach, factors such as class status and family background are greatly downplayed. The rich, poor, beautiful, and ugly are all reduced to the simplest "people". No matter what, the sun is equally fair. Waiting and unceremoniously grilling each flesh/body.

Ryoko wears cat-eye-shaped sunglasses, especially bright lipstick. The color she doesn't usually use, but it fits well, and the posture of lying lazily is beautiful.I took a sip from the bottle of soda I had put down by the chair.

"When Zuo Linze came here a few days ago, did you say anything interesting?"

I put the dark green soda bottle back where it was, Yoshiko handed me a handkerchief, and I took it to wipe my mouth. "There's nothing new and strange about it. He has no wife and no children, and he's just hanging around in boredom. He doesn't necessarily have anything to say."

Liangzi half-jokingly asked: "You said that he is at this age, and the average person would have married a couple long ago, why is he still a bare-handed commander?"

"He has read the book, so it is not surprising that he is more open-minded."

"Do you know what's inside?"

"There's no inside story." I returned the handkerchief to Ryoko, and she folded the wet side inside and put it back in the purse. "Zuo Linze is a bit of a naive idealist. He has been pursuing a platonic spiritual love relationship since before. He probably doesn't pursue family happiness like ordinary people like us."

"Oh." Ryoko covered her lips with her fist thoughtfully, "Then does he have a romantic partner?"

"Girlfriend has talked about several times, and every time he explained clearly to others at the beginning and confessed his thoughts, the girl often took him as a joke. The most recent one was the same. Later, seeing that he really didn't have the normal idea of ​​forming a family, she cried and said He kicked."

"This person really does his own thing and is straightforward and interesting." Liangzi commented leniently, "But Plato's spiritual love essentially only refers to the love between men, do you think..."

"Of course it doesn't matter to him," I denied her unfinished words, "Even if he is free, he still only loves women." At least that's what he told him.As for the rumors I heard in college that he occasionally chose to spend time with men, I
