Water lanterns and dreams in 1 nights

Selectively skip the table, the left and right have nothing to do with us, why bother to talk about the privacy of others.

I don't know if Ryoko saw through my concealment, maybe she did, she fixed her clear eyes on me without saying anything, combed her black hair back from her forehead with her fair and thin fingers, revealing her smooth forehead.

"I'm thinking about a question." Yoshiko put her palms up and covered her closed eyes with the back of her hands, "Xiuichi's grades are gradually rising. Although his grades have always been excellent, it's always right to work hard in his studies. I often feel that my family He has too many distractions."

"what do you mean?"

"How about living in school?" Seeing that I showed a little disapproval, she added: "It's not that he can't come back for a semester. On weekends and holidays, as long as he wants, he can go home."

I was lost in thought, Liangzi patted my arm, teased with a smile: "Reluctant?"

"This kind of thing can't disregard his wishes, he has to choose by himself."

"I can't bear him either," Liangzi said, "but for the sake of planning for the future, it's not a bad thing to let him learn to be self-reliant earlier. Besides, it's not too early, he is almost an adult, so how can we stay with us every day?"

Before I answered the call, I saw Xiuyi waving at us from a distance, and I waved back.

"What's your opinion?" Ryoko waited for my reply.

"I can say anything, the key depends on Xiuyi's thoughts."

Xiuyi came back from running, his body was covered with water, and his hair was wet in clumps. He shook his head and asked Liangzi where the bath towel was. It's just that the water is cold, and the sun is still shining, so I have to turn around and apply sunscreen. What were you talking about just now?"

"Nothing, just gossip."

"We want to ask you. Would you like to live in the school?" Liangzi ignored my hint and insisted on asking.

Xiuyi stopped wiping the water, and his cheerful face fell silent. He looked at Ryoko, pursed his lips and nodded, as if he just knew her, then looked at me, and asked quietly: "Uncle, how about you?"

"I respect your opinion."

"What I'm asking is what do you think." Xiuyi said, "Do you want to drive me away too?"

"I didn't want to drive you away." Liangzi sat on the beach chair with her knees hugged. "It's just a stage you must go through when you grow up."

"So you have to experience being abandoned in life?" Without waiting for Liangzi to speak, Xiu kept saying, "I don't want to." He stopped looking at Liangzi, bent down and took out a bottle of sunscreen from the storage basket and handed it to me, "Please help me Put it on, uncle."

"It's not appropriate." Liangzi stopped, "I'll help you."

"I think it's even more inappropriate." Xiuyi said, lying down on the position where I got out of the way, and stretched his body, I poured sunscreen on the palm of my hand and rubbed it on his back, making sure that all the places he couldn't reach were covered. After painting it evenly, he returned the bottle to him, but Xiuyi didn't take it, lying on the chair lazily and coquettishly: "I don't want to move, uncle, please help me paint other places too."

"That's really inappropriate." I rubbed the top of his head and said softly.

Xiuyi let out a "tsk", slowly gave way to me, and went to the beach again.I lay back and inadvertently sighed to Liangzi: "Xiuyi is so tall that her straight legs reach the end of the bench."

"Indeed." Ryoko replied, looking at Xiuyi's receding back, "I have grown up." The eyes hidden by the sunglasses that no one could see showed a moment of indifference.

24. Bad boy 10

There are a few restaurants by the sea, the price is high, I don’t know how the taste is, because of its geographical location, it can be regarded as full of seats, and even the fast food restaurant is worth a long queue, and the people who order and pick up the food are stretched out in a long row.From this point of view, a well-located store is better than a robbery, because it is possible to take property without breaking the law, to do business aboveboard, and to call it consensual.Unwilling to wait, we walked for a while, and finally chose a clean street shop.

The decoration style of the store is casual and chic, not exquisite, very relaxing, as if walking into the interior of a ship.Wooden tables and chairs, through the warm yellow light of the green glass lampshade, Yoshiko took a fancy to the flower pot displayed at the entrance, it was a huge plaster statue of the upper body of a Native American man, with a slightly collapsed nose bridge, thick and protruding lips, and an open head Hollow, the flowers and plants are filled on the top of the head.At each corner of the store, there is a statue of flowers and plants on the head. Women, boys, and girls have similar facial features and uniform styles, and they are like a family.

We chose a seat next to a navy-blue brick wall. A clock with the image of a fisherman hung directly above the wall. It happened to be exactly four o'clock in the afternoon. The fisherman opened his mouth and stuck out his tongue. A silver-gray sardine lacquered on wooden carvings, the time chime rang four times, and the fisherman stuck out his tongue four times, and then quickly retracted into a dumbfounded state.

I sat next to Liangzi, and Xiuyi was on the other side. When the time chime sounded, he was startled a little. After reacting, he frowned angrily, looked up at the clock, and looked a little dazed.Ryoko and I both laughed, it was rare to see him in such a lively manner.

In fact, it would be nice if we could keep this state forever, but nothing can be "permanently". No matter how big or small, nothing can escape the word "change".A neighboring country writes "impermanence" as "儚", like a person dreaming, confused, vague, illusory, and unpredictable.In reality, when things are different and people are different, the biggest emotion that people in the situation can feel for a while must be sadness; from another perspective, standing on the sidelines or looking back, this kind of sadness will naturally cast a layer of sadness. The shade of beauty.How many things in the world are endowed with a sense of beauty, as for me personally, I think a large part of beauty is sad, it has a fatalistic tendency to regard sadness as beauty.

It's like time washes away all joys and sorrows like a stream of water, and the intense love and hatred will be diluted and diluted after dinner. The main theme of life is to make people live in a faded ambiguous aftertaste.Beauty is endowed with dreams and divinity after being destroyed and disappeared, which is incomparable to the existence that still exists in the world.The sigh of destruction and the heaviness of history give people the magic power of imagination. Beauty was limited at that time, but it will disappear after it is lost. It will disappear from the secular world and take root in people's dreams and thoughts, extending to infinity.

These thoughts were wandering in my mind, I didn't notice when the dishes and rice had already been placed in front of me, it was the sudden warmth on the back of my hand that woke me up, Ryoko held my hand and asked with a smile: "Why are you so absorbed in thinking?"

I blinked and said the first sentence that fell into my mouth: "Your eye shadow is the phosphorous of a butterfly."

Ryoko rubbed the corners of his eyes, and softly scolded me: "Occupational disease again, nonsense, talk nonsense." Then she approached me with her eyes that became rounder and bigger with makeup, and asked if the makeup was worn off.

I looked at it for a while and said, "No. It's beautiful."

Ryoko laughed quickly, "That's why I said you will always say something nice unconsciously."

"Just telling the truth."

"No one said you were lying." Ryoko said happily.

Xiuyi dropped the poured cup of tea in front of me, "Uncle, let's drink some tea." Then he made another cup for Liangzi, but Liangzi didn't move, and spread a chopstick dish for me.

"I remember that soon it will be Aunt Tan's birthday." Xiuyi said.

"The end of this month." I thought for a while, "It just so happens that you start school the next day."

Liangzi recalled the interrupted discussion before, and tried to ask like Xiuyi again, "You have to think about going to school to live..."

"No." Xiu Yi drooped her eyelids, and replied calmly, "It's fine to be at home."

"It's not strict at school anyway."

"I just want to ask you a question, have I had a place other than No. [-]?"

"No, but..."

I put down my chopsticks.Xiuyi's eyes followed, I rummaged in my pocket, took out an object wrapped in kraft paper, put it on the table, and pushed it towards Liangzi.

"Open it up." I suggested.

Ryoko asked what was inside, but I didn't tell her, I told her to see for herself.She complained half-heartedly that I was pretending to be mysterious, but unfolded the kraft paper bag carefully.

A wooden comb lay quietly among the crumpled light yellow parchment.

Liangzi prefers wooden combs, and the one I love the most is a gift I gave a few years ago. It was specially entrusted to someone who heard that a certain wood workshop in Yibin had the best craftsmanship.A comb broke a tooth two months ago, and Yoshiko lamented in my ear several times. I was busy with things a while ago, and I didn't have time to buy another comb for her. I dragged it until now, and I went to the hotel the afternoon before when they were resting, assuming a walk. to buy.

"You still remember." Ryoko picked up the comb and said softly.

"This time I chose the decoration myself."

Ryoko raised the comb, looked at it again and again at the light, "It's so beautiful."

"As long as you like it," I said, "I should have bought it for you long ago."

Ryoko couldn't help smiling happily, and leaned over to gently kiss the corner of my lips.

"Mouth fat, don't get it on my face."

"It's already stained." Liangzi replied mischievously, her eyebrows and eyes curved into beautiful arcs.

Xiuyi's cup was suddenly dropped to the ground by his hand, and it shattered with the force of the impact on the ground, and tiny glass shards splashed to the bottom of other tables.

"I'm sorry, it wasn't intentional." Xiuyi said without apologetic tone. "I thought you came to the seaside only after listening to me."

"correct."

"The comb?"

"The destination is the same anyway." I said, "Don't be a child." Then I waved to the waiter to give me a broom and dustpan. He explained to me that I didn't need to clean it, but I insisted.

"I'll do it." Ryoko wanted to take the broom from me, but Xiuyi snatched it without saying a word.the inherent weight of glass calls it
