God is Daozu

The third district has a good weather this week. After continuous rain and light snow, it is sunny on this day.

Sunny seemed to be not in the same world as Daniel.

Daniel stood on the balcony and looked at Qiangju. Qiangju stood in the flower field and looked left and right, for fear that the flowers would die. He looked up at the mountains in the distance. Daniel followed Qiangju's gaze, and the sky was blue.

"It's rainy again after today, the weather is really nice today!"

Qiangju looked back at him, smiled and waved to Daniel, then turned his head and took the tube, and sprayed it out in a fine umbrella shape. The sun irradiated the cold water to warm it up. Daniel looked at Qiangju, suddenly It's like returning to summer here, Qiang Ju is running back and forth in the flower field with a smile at the moment, he brought Xia Tian back.

"what are you doing?"

Qiangju raised his face and smiled at him. Daniel pointed the camera at Qiangju with a calm expression. The outdoor and indoor weather seemed to be separated. He could see the sun but couldn't touch it. Daniel felt that he was still standing in a rainy day. Taking pictures of Qiangju, he realized why Qiangju's parents took photos of Qiangju so frantically, and he felt the despair beneath this madness.

They want to keep him.

me too.

Qiang Ju didn't know what happened, and ran happily. Daniel patted him over and over again without saying a word, and the time was far from enough for him to pat him enough. He ran, with the outdoor temperature still on his sweater, and he hugged Daniel.

"Why don't you play anymore?"

"You seem lonely."

"I'm not alone." Daniel hugged Qiangju tightly.

"Aren't you training today?"

"Rest today."

"So what are we going to do today?"

"We can do whatever you want?"

"I saw a bike in the storage room, is it still working? I was watching old movies and found out that ex-lovers would be riding on the same bike."

"Can use."

"That's great, I'll take you outside, you're too cold."

Daniel was taken aback and wanted to move his hand away, but Qiang Ju immediately hugged Daniel tightly, and said something inadvertently.

"I don't care that your whole body is so cold, just hug me more."

Daniel suddenly felt heartache.

Daniel was riding a bicycle carrying Qiangju. They were all wearing the same black thin sweater. Qiangju sat in the back seat and stretched out his hand childishly to fiddle with Daniel's blond hair. Beside the wheel was the wild grass on the hillside, and far away on the hillside was the high and blue sky , he quietly carried the tangerines. He had never seen the hillside here so clearly in his life like at this moment.

"That's where the flowers sleep," Qiang Ju pointed to the distance, "Can it really come back this spring?"

"Will be back."

"That's where you gave me presents."

"That's where I found Monet's flower. I drew it and gave it to you. You framed it in your bedroom. I'm glad it hangs where you sleep."

Qiang Ju happily continued, "I see Monet flowers as you, and I see any beautiful things as you. For a while, I wondered what you are like in my heart. Why do these beautiful flowers always make me feel like you?" You think."

"After thinking about it, you are beautiful, so all beautiful things are like you."

The winter mountains in the distance were ironed by the sun, and the wind blew gently, and his thoughts and voice were also relieved.

"I love you." He blurted out looking into the distance.

Qiang Ju froze for a moment, surprised that Daniel spoke so suddenly, he didn't understand why the sudden three words made him sad

"That's great, I love you too."

At sunset, Daniel brought Qiangju back to the white house. Qiangju's side face was resting on Daniel's back, looking at the burning red sky, and the bicycle trails when they came stretched into the distance.

The servant left early, and it was already dark after dinner. The nights of this season always come in a hurry, so Qiang Ju and Daniel came to the roof together.

"It's like we've never been on the roof, we're all too busy."

Qiangju sat beside Daniel, and Daniel was as reticent as ever. Qiangju looked at the night sky and his mind became very peaceful because of Daniel's calm breathing. He hummed "My Starry Night at the Outpost" softly, and suddenly smiled, Under the night sky, Qiangju's eyes are shining brightly.

"It's strange, after being free today, it reminds me of a lot of things that happened before, will you do that?" Qiang Ju asked.

Daniel looked at Qiangju, and Qiangju looked at the night sky.

"I have a lot of questions on my mind."

"Ask." Daniel said softly.

Qiang Ju didn't look at Daniel but stared at the night sky, he pursed his lips and stared at the stars for a long time before opening his mouth

"I have fought several times since I started school. Am I causing you trouble? I want to hear the truth."

"It does add a few extra things to me, but it's not troublesome."

"I actually know the consequences before every fight, but it's not that I can't control it, but I just choose to do it...Are you angry?"

"It seems that you still remember our quarrel before."

Daniel smiled. He looked at Qiangju who had been staring at the night sky and said, "You choose to be yourself, which should make me proud of you."

"...Just promise me that you will learn to protect yourself from now on."

"It's so difficult to protect yourself without going against your will."

Daniel reached out and touched Qiangju's head, Qiangju looked at the night sky very distressed.

"I have another question, maybe this question shouldn't be asked of you, because maybe you don't know the answer either."

"what is the problem?"

"If you didn't pick me up, who would you like?"

"Maybe notice those like you among the millions of human beings."

Qiang Ju was silent for a moment, "If I hadn't met you, what would I be like?"

Qiang Ju blinked, counting the stars and thinking about it, "I may die, or I may wait for rescue, and then, I may go to an orphanage in a certain district, and I may go to a military academy because I became a sentinel. I won't meet Gao Lan, I won't meet Liu Rong, I won't meet you, and I won't meet many good people."

"Then, what kind of person will you fall in love with?"

Qiang Ju thought about it and suddenly felt blank

"I don't have anyone I like anymore."

"Daniel, what will I do in the future?"

"I will go to command military academy, what are your plans?"

"I don't want to go to command a military academy... I don't know what I want to do, but the end must be to join the army."

"I think you've always liked math, and you use it well when you're fighting."

"...I do like math."

Looking at the night sky, Qiang Ju's eyes became moist, and he said calmly, "When I dream, I always dream that my father is playing number games with me. It's a pity."

Qiang Ju took a breath to calm himself down, "I remember mathematics but I can't remember him. Obviously he is more profound to me than mathematics, but I forgot who he is."

"Every time I take math class, I always hope that the person standing on the podium is him. In my dream, my father is a very smart and powerful person. He knows a lot of things. I obviously still have a lot of knowledge that needs to be taught by him, but I look for him. He's gone."

"I hope he teaches me again."

"The math teachers are always nice to me. Sometimes they make me feel... like the dad in my dream. They are always gentle when they teach me, but the teacher is just a teacher, not my dad."

"You said you would notice people like me, would you like them?"

"No, it's like the teacher is very kind to you but you still want your father to teach you."

"What if someone is 90.00% similar to me?" Qiang Ju smiled whimsically.

"I don't like fakes. People will encounter countless fakes in their life. I am willing to wait for the real ones."

"What if you can't find the real thing?"

"Then it's okay for me to be alone."

"Sounds so lonely."

"I was never alone until you came."

"Am I making you feel alone?"

"I will be alone without you."

The inexplicable sadness made Qiang Ju feel at a loss, as if he was about to lose his grip on something, he changed the topic with a flustered laugh, "Am I the real one?"

"No."

Qiang Ju was startled when she heard Daniel continue to speak

"You are my miracle."
