soul resonance

Compared with the coming-of-age ceremony at the age of 18, Ruan Nanling's 19th birthday was nothing special. Apart from Li Beijun jumping up and down, even Ruan Nanling himself didn't care much.

The only way Li Beijun could think of to celebrate was to eat and drink. He took out the New Year's money from last year, rented a small villa on the Beiyuan Bay side as the celebration place, and warmly invited everyone who had a good relationship with Ruan Nanling.

In fact, they are almost mutual friends.

"Can I bring someone?"

After ten o'clock in the morning, a group of people gathered together and prepared to leave for the villa. Before leaving, Xu Jun suddenly said hesitantly.

"Is it your friend? Come on, come on! There are so many people." Li Beijun was very hospitable.

"You guys know each other too." Xu Jun scratched his head embarrassingly, "I'll pick her up, you guys go to the villa first, I'll go straight there in a while."

"We know each other?" Li Beijun was puzzled, fearing that he would miss out on friends, he looked at the crowd and found that he had invited everyone who should have been invited, so he asked curiously, "Who is it?"

Without saying anything, Xu Jun asked Zhou Duo to borrow a motorcycle and ran away in a hurry. Everyone had to wait for the answer with curiosity.

Only Xu Heqi probably guessed who he was talking about, so he sneaked a glance at Zhou Duo, and quietly told him: "Student Wan Qing may come later, don't throw your face away."

Zhou Duo fake coughed twice, a little embarrassed, pretending to be nonchalant and said: "Why am I throwing face at this little girl!"

Is he such a small-minded person?

Xu Heqi's expression was inexplicable, and he always felt that there was some change in Zhou Duo's attitude towards Li Wanqing that he didn't know about.

"It's best not to make things difficult for Old Xu."

Zhou Duo nodded, now he can't wait for the other party to get married immediately.

"Let's go, let's go!" Li Beijun raised his arms and shouted, as excited as Erha who demolished a house.

Ruan Nanling covered her face helplessly, you silly dog!

A group of people took a taxi to go to the villa, listening to Li Beijun's chattering voice along the way, the atmosphere was unexpectedly lively.

"There is a VR game room, a billiard room, and a small theater in the villa. Everyone can play as they please!"

In fact, celebrating birthdays is just a pretext to get together to play. We are all good friends, and we don’t pay too much attention. When we entered the villa, we just went to the entertainment facilities that we were interested in in twos and threes.

Zhou Duo was not interested in any of these, and only circled around Xu Heqi.

"Aren't you going to play?" Xu Heqi randomly picked a book from the bookshelf in the living room, which was Tagore's "Gitanjali".

"No, it's meaningless."

Xu Heqi nodded deeply. As Zhou Duo, he should have been tired of playing with the things in the villa since he was a child, and he himself didn't have much interest in them.

"What is this?" Zhou Duo asked while looking at the book in Xu Heqi's hand.

Unless it was necessary, he seldom read books, and he didn't even bother to touch such collections of poetry, but he seemed to like Xu Heqi, so in order to have some common topics, he thought he should learn about them.

"A collection of religious lyric poems, or a 'sacrifice to the gods', but my understanding may be different." He didn't say how it was different.

Zhou Duo nodded, he didn't understand!

He leaned over and asked, "Can we watch it together?" If you don't understand, you have to understand!

"of course can!"

Xu Heqi moved his position and asked Zhou Duo to sit down. The sofa in the living room was huge, but the two of them squeezed together and nestled in a corner of the sofa.

His fair and slender fingers turned page after page, and Mr. Tagore's song dedicated to God flowed through his fingertips.

[As long as I am alive, I will call you my everything.

As long as my sincerity is immortal, I will feel you are around me, I will come to ask you for advice on anything, and I will dedicate my love to you at any time.

As long as I live, I will never hide you.

Only a little bit of the shackles that bind me to your will remain, and your will is done in my life—and that shackle is your love. 】

Zhou Duo didn't understand poetry, but when he saw this poem, he strangely resonated with it, even though the resonance he thought might not be related to what the author wanted to express.

Rarely, he was more fascinated than Xu Heqi, and their heads touched each other unconsciously.

Time passed quietly, looking from the back of the sofa, the two seemed to be cuddling, and someone in the next room screamed from time to time, probably playing some horror game, but there was only tranquility and peace around them.

【I want you, only you——let my heart keep thinking about it.The desires that tormented me day and night were false and empty in their nature.

Just as the night hides its plea for light in obscurity, so does the depths of my unconscious call out - I want you, only you.

As the storm strikes at peace with all its strength, and still seeks to end in peace, so does my rebellion strike at your love, whose call is still - I want you, only you. 】

Another poem fully expresses Zhou Duo's feelings. He is about to fall in love with this collection of poems, and even thinks shamelessly, Mr. Tagore, you are really my confidant in life.

Please allow me to lend you a poem dedicated to God, and borrow a section dedicated to the little crane beside me.

He began to read each passage more and more seriously.

"Do you like this?" As they got closer, Xu Heqi could clearly feel Zhou Duo's breathing in an orderly manner, which showed that he really took it seriously.

"Mmm." He softly responded, in fact, it's not like he likes it, but some words just fit his heart.

For example: "The ups and downs of my life revolve around his ups and downs."

"Actually, I first read this as a love poem, and I have been reading it until now. Maybe I really don't have much depth." Xu Heqi said in a low voice.

He didn't know what Zhou Duo saw in the poem.

Is it, as mentioned in the literature analysis, the overall consciousness of the universe that is one, a tribute to life and nature, or, like him, regard it as pure love.

"When it is created, it is destined to be interpreted by different people. There is nothing wrong with it as a love poem." Zhou Duo thought, he has no depth, and he doesn't even read it as a poem.

He is plagiarizing passage after passage, confessing secretly, even if he is not heard, he has expressed it.

"Gitanjali—a song dedicated to God, we are really two shallow people." Xu Hexi concluded.

Zhou Duo continued to turn a page, and echoed: "Indeed."

But love is not shallow.

"Fuck! It's an illusion!"

The atmosphere between the two was just right, but there was someone who disturbed the scenery.

Li Beijun walked to the living room, and seeing the two people alone, he couldn't help but rubbed his eyes, and the voice of surprise echoed in the room.

Zhou Duo couldn't hold back, bent down, picked up the slippers and threw them at him, "Shut up and play your game!"

I have seen someone who has no eyesight, but I have never seen someone who has no eyesight like this. If you disturb others and get along with your sweetheart, you will be struck by lightning!

"Hey, I'm going out to pick up Lao Xu." Li Beijun took Zhou Duo's slippers with a playful smile, "Brother Duo, you are inspired by the little crane and are ready to swim in the ocean of knowledge?"

I have to say, Little Crane is really strong, he never expected that a bastard like him, who is active in learning, would one day lie on the sofa and read a book, even a collection of poems!

Zhou Duo rolled his eyes at him, stretched out his hand to ask him to return the shoes, and contemptuously, silly dog, don't understand anything!

Li Beijun threw the shoes back and was still amazed, "I'll take a photo to commemorate it, so that everyone can admire Brother Duo's heroic posture while reading."

Zhou Duo has been a good student for a long time, and he studies hard every day, but few people know that Li Beijun only thinks that he is still the same as before, and he comes to class mixed up.

Whenever Ruan Nanling gave him a question that he couldn't do, he comforted himself that he was not afraid.

"Go and pick up your people!" Xu Heqi hurriedly reminded him, fearing that he would be beaten again if he continued talking.

"Oh, that's right, Lao Xu and his younger sister are still waiting at the door!" He hurried out.

Being disturbed by this, Xu Heqi saw that it was almost noon, and he was no longer in the mood to read. He put the book back in its original place and turned to Zhou Duo, "Are you hungry?"

"It's okay, are you hungry?" Zhou Duo immediately took his bag, and took out a piece of cake from inside, "Put your belly first, Li Beijun should have ordered food."

"You have everything in your bag." Candy, cake, and drinks are all available, "It's Doraemon."

"Isn't it because you're hungry?"

Xu Heqi is thin, and he doesn't know whether it's because he doesn't get fat naturally, or because he hasn't kept up with his nutrition. In short, Zhou Duo likes to be fed, so he always has food in his bag.

"Little Crane, here I come!" Li Wanqing's voice sounded in the hallway, and she heard her voice before she saw anyone.

Xu Heqi gnawed on the small cake, and waited for her to show up before waving, as a greeting.

"Come two people, accompany me to get takeaway."

For a meal for more than a dozen people, Li Beijun is really helpless alone.

Xu Jun was shocked: "Why didn't you just let us wait at the door and bring it in together by the way."

Li Beijun: "..." He forgot.

"Stupid." Zhou Duo complained but stood up immediately, his little crane was hungry, so he had to bring in the meal quickly.

When Li Beijun, Xu Jun, and Zhou Duo went out, Li Wanqing suddenly jumped to Xu Heqi's side, and said in a surprised tone: "Little Xianhe, I think I have something to do!"

Xu Heqi nodded, there was indeed something interesting, and Xu Jun's willingness to take her to his friend's birthday party was already very self-explanatory.

"Little Crane, how about an assist!"

"You said."

"I'm not very familiar with the people in your class, why don't you suggest a game for me this afternoon!"

Xu Heqi understood, "The game you're talking about isn't Truth or Dare, is it?" Legend has it that it's a must-have assist game for campus love.

"The one who knows me is the little crane!"

"Okay, I'll mention it when the time comes, but it depends on how you operate." He has no experience!

"OK." Li Wanqing gestured.

Xu Heqi didn't know at this time that this game almost got him into it.
