[Honor of Kings] Bai Liang's Short Story Collection

The tenth day of white light, raising "ducks"

One-sentence introduction: I was eaten by a well-raised duck.

One of Zhuge Liang's greatest strengths is his concentration, which is also his greatest weakness.

After studying the experiment for several days and forgetting to eat lunch, Zhuge Liang was dizzy due to hypoglycemia. Zhuge Liang was sent by his colleagues to take an IV for an afternoon, and he was lectured by his friends for a long time.

What is the meaning of life without food?

He made a deep introspection and decided to give himself a few days off.Put down the lunch box, go to the market to buy a la carte and make some soup to give yourself some nutrition.

"Let's stew an old duck soup." My friend suggested, "Invigorating the spleen and appetizing, it is more suitable for you."

"If you think ducks are troublesome to make, you can buy an old hen."

Zhuge Liang went to the vegetable market near his home for the first time, wandered around the stalls, and felt a little at a loss as to where to start.

He was standing in the corner wearing a white windbreaker, with a dazed and pensive look, which seemed out of place in the noisy market with people coming and going.

Such a beautiful young man who stands out from the crowd has attracted the attention of many people.

The proprietress who sold the poultry waved to him enthusiastically: "Little handsome guy, do you want to eat chicken?"

The big silver-haired beauty patted her chicken coop, with a pair of rippling eyes smiling, making it hard to refuse.

Zhuge Liang flipped through the recipe he recorded before going out and said, "I want to buy a duck."

"Okay, what do you think of this one?" The big beauty skillfully opened the cage next to it, and grabbed a big white duck from a group of quacking ducks.

The feathers are smooth and neat, white and translucent, and the neck is long and graceful, which looks very attractive.

Just looking at the live duck, Zhuge Liang felt the long-lost appetite, and nodded briskly: "That's it. Do you want to kill it now?"

"I'm sorry, I actually set up a stall for my friend temporarily." The big beauty poked her index finger, "Can I trouble you to take it back and deal with it?"

"……All right."

Zhuge Liang saw that the other party's every move revealed an elegant posture, and it really didn't look like he was hanging around in the vegetable market all year round.He watched the big beauty tie a red rope around the big white duck's neck, and handed the rope over.

The beautiful white duck didn't seem to know the fate of being stewed, and it lay obediently in the arms of the beauty, without moving or screaming. I found a more comfortable position.

Good weight.

This was Zhuge Liang's first reaction.He wrapped one end of the rope around his hand, carefully supported the big white duck's belly, and held its wings in his other hand, and walked slowly a few steps while holding it in his arms.

Then he found out that this was not going to work, he couldn't buy groceries anymore.

Zhuge Liang put the duck on the ground, saw it was still quiet and obedient, and tried to pull the rope in his hand.Sure enough, it walked slowly behind him, its wings stretched slightly, and its white feathers trembled.

Zhuge Liang focused on the recipes in his hands, checked them, and bought vegetables while he was shopping. He didn’t realize that the appearance of him wandering around the vegetable market with a duck led to a high rate of return. He was also filmed as a small video and posted on the Internet, which caused a wave of onlookers .

The topic is: I actually knocked off the CP of a handsome passerby and a duck...

The response rate is also amazing.

"What, is this really a duck? With such a long neck, it must be a goose! Quack quack quack quack"

"Professionals are here: Judging from the beak of this bird, it is thick and hard, more like a certain pheasant breed [Meditation.JPG]"

"I don't care, ducks and ducks are so beautiful, they look like noble white swans! Goose, goose, goose, goose...the song sings to the sky!"

……

Zhuge Liang walked back home with the vegetable basket in one hand and the duck in the other.

Picking vegetables, washing vegetables, and soon, the preparation of the soup was completed. He picked up the knife and looked back at the big white duck that was tied to the balcony by himself and was strolling in the sun...

The sun is just right, it stretches its gorgeous wings, bends its neck to comb the feathers on its back, and is shrouded in a halo all over its body, just like a landscape painting.

Zhuge Liang suddenly couldn't bear it.

He thought about it, otherwise, let's raise it for a few more days, it's still too thin now, it will taste better if it's meatier.

Zhuge Liang settled his own lunch, and then went to feed the big white duck.

The big white duck is very picky, and only eats fresh grass with dew on it, and doesn't touch anything else.Zhuge Liang could only lead him downstairs, pretending to take a walk, but actually urging the duck to eat as soon as possible.

Everyone in the community knows him: Isn't this the great scientist of the research institute!

Whenever Zhuge Liang stopped at a certain place and pretended to be thinking about something, everyone took it for granted and never came to disturb him. It was only after he walked away that he was deeply moved, and educated his children: "Look at the genius of others, how can you slip a duck?" Don’t forget to think, this is the gap, the gap!”

The children in the neighborhood were very puzzled: "It turns out that geniuses keep ducks as pets? I learned..."

How can ducks only eat grass?

Zhuge Liang began to wonder if the beauty who sold the duck on behalf of the duck was unskilled and admitted a mistake and sold him the goose as a duck.

It's a pity that he hasn't seen live poultry much, and he can't be sure after studying the pictures on the encyclopedia for a long time.

Forget it, no matter so much, anyway, it will be stewed in the end.

Thinking about it, Zhuge Liang bent down and touched the duck's head, thinking of the delicious meal in the future, his movements became gentle.

"Eat more." He encouraged, "Don't be polite."

The big white duck slowly picked up a four-leaf clover, chewed half of it, stretched its neck suddenly and touched Zhuge Liang's arm with its beak, and then took the remaining four-leaf clover petal into his palm.

"Huh?" Zhuge Liang was puzzled, picked up the four-leaf clover and looked at it for a long time.

He looked at the sunlight for a while, compared the ratio of the two adjacent leaves, and suddenly found something: "Could this be the golden ratio?"

"... chirp."

A few days later, Zhuge Liang went to the balcony to have a look, and touched the feathers on the big white duck's chest.

Soft, juicy, seems fuller.

He thought, he must have gained some weight, right?

The big white duck drank some water from the plate, then turned its neck and pecked at his palm, it was a little itchy, so he quickly withdrew his hand.Then he went back to his study and was busy making statistics for his experimental data.

When he came back to his senses, he realized that he forgot to eat lunch again.

There was lightning and thunder outside the house, Zhuge Liang hastily turned off the computer, remembering that the glass windows on the balcony had not been closed, heavy rain must have drifted in, so he hurried out of the living room.

The window was indeed open, and there was a lot of water splashing on the floor inside the screen.He closed the glass window and suddenly found that his great white duck was gone.

The empty red rope was still tied to the window, and the other end was hanging limply on the ground, leaving only a break.

Did it fly out?

Zhuge Liang was taken aback and tried to look out the window.This is the eighth floor. Even if a duck can barely flap its wings, if it falls from here, it won't be able to survive, right?

He picked up the key and decided to go downstairs to have a look.

……

Zhuge Liang searched for it in the rain for a long time under an umbrella, but he didn't find the missing duck.

But he picked up a man in the rain.

To be precise, he is a handsome guy with a beautiful appearance.A head of silver hair fell on his shoulders, wet from the rain, while he himself stood in the rain dazedly and helplessly staring at the air.

The first time Zhuge Liang passed by him in a hurry, he didn't pay much attention until he came back and found that he was still in the same place, motionless, like a straight sculpture.

How can there be such a beautiful sculpture?

Zhuge Liang approached, raised the umbrella to cover the man's head, and asked, "Sir, is there anything I can help you with? - Are you lost?"

The man's blank eyes met his, quiet and gentle.

"I do not remember."

Zhuge Liang picked up a handsome guy who lost his memory.

Although it looks strange, you can't let him drench in the rain, can you?Zhuge Liang lives alone, and the house has a lot of space, so it wouldn't be too troublesome to take in one person temporarily.

He took new towels from the closet and hurried to the bathroom.Through a layer of frosted glass, he could vaguely see some silhouettes. The man not only had a good-looking face, but also had a figure like a model. His ears were slightly burned. He quickly lowered his head, put down the towel, closed the door and went out. .

When the man came out, he was only wearing a towel, and the water droplets from his hair slipped from the muscles on his chest and sank into the towel.Zhuge Liang hugged the loosest old pajamas he found and almost hit his chest, and swallowed it before he could say a word.

"Well...you put on your clothes first, then come out, okay." He swallowed hard.

The man responded softly, thanked him, took his clothes and walked back to the bathroom.

Zhuge Liang stared at the bare skin behind him in a daze.

This is totally his ideal type.

But no matter what, when someone loses their memory...it's not advisable to take advantage of someone's danger.He closed his eyes and meditated.

When he opened his eyes again, he had already forced down the heat on his face, and calmly went to the kitchen to make a late lunch.

Fortunately, I just went to the supermarket to purchase a few days ago, and there is a lot of food in the refrigerator.

Zhuge Liang took out the frozen pork, put it in the sink to thaw, and began to wash the vegetables again.Halfway through the wash, a man walked in.Zhuge Liang glanced back, completely distracted.

His pajamas were bought a size too big at the beginning, and they were too loose to wear, and they always slipped off his shoulders, which was very inconvenient, but when worn on this handsome guy with wide shoulders and narrow waist, it just exposed his thin and sunken collarbone , showing the perfect curvature from the neck to the shoulders.

When Zhuge Liang came back to his senses, he realized that the other party had already taken the kitchen knife from him.

"Let me come, you don't seem to be very skilled."

Zhuge Liang was a little embarrassed when he said this: "I seldom cook at home. I'm usually too busy..."

The man let out a "hmm", took the knife in his hand, and cut the lotus root into thin slices neatly. The thickness of each slice was just right, which made Zhuge Liang amazed.

"You used to be a chef?" he asked tentatively.

However, the man thought for a long time before shaking his head.

"I do not remember."

He didn't remember where he came from, or who his last name was.Although the past was blank, the memory of his body and the haughty and elegant temperament revealed in his bones convinced Zhuge Liang that this person had a lot of background.

Probably because of some accident after leaving home, it became like this.

Zhuge Liang was handing oil and salt to the other party, while thinking wildly, maybe it was because of the young master who resisted the marriage because of his true love, he ran away from home angrily, and the result...

But there were no signs of injury on the man's body.

Zhuge Liang smiled and shook his head, throwing these thoughts out of his mind.

The craftsmanship of the man is very good.The dishes he cooked instinctively were much better than Zhuge Liang's attempt to study the recipes for half a day.

Zhuge Liang sighed contentedly after drinking the soup.

If only I could find a boyfriend like this...

He is willing to go to the market to buy a hundred ducks and release them.

After reporting the case at the police station, Zhuge Liang had no idea what to do next.

"At least, let me know how to address you first?" Zhuge Liang took out the man's clothes from the washing machine, flipped through them, and tried to find some clues.

Really found it.

Under the inner collar of the shirt, there is a word embroidered with silver thread: white.

"Is this your name?" Zhuge Liang turned his collar over for the other party to see, and he nodded thoughtfully.

"Should, yes." His voice was still calm, and he didn't seem to have much reaction to his name. Instead, he became interested in the washing machine with the flashing lights, and tilted his head to look at it for a long time.

It seems that the amnesia is really complete, Zhuge Liang sighed softly, and took out a crumpled business card from the inner bag. After soaking in the rain for so long, many writings could not be seen clearly, only the one in the center The bold letters are vaguely recognizable.

Li Bai.

Li Bai, the name is simple and generous, but unexpectedly it suits him.

……

On the third day of taking Li Bai in, Zhuge Liang was sure that he had gained at least two catties.

This guy doesn't know anything - he doesn't even know how to use the washing machine, and he has to teach him to turn on the gas stove, but he can cook and cook with his hands, as if he knows it by himself.

Zhuge Liang felt very ashamed: "Obviously you are a guest, and you haven't helped you find your memory yet, and you still need to trouble you..."

Li Bai stopped washing the dishes, shook off some water with foamy fingers, brushed the overly long hair on his forehead behind his ears, and smiled quietly at him.

"I'm the one who disturbed you. I want to do something for you as much as possible."

Those silver-gray eyes looked at Zhuge Liang intently, reflecting his face like waves flowing.

He felt a little embarrassed, and coughed uncomfortably: "It's okay, it's just a little more food expenses, and the same expenses can't afford such a good chef."

Zhuge Liang turned around behind Li Bai, and found that there was no place for him to intervene, so he stopped embarrassingly.

When Li Bai finished washing the bowls and chopsticks, dried his hands, and asked him what else he needed to do, Zhuge Liang looked around, and finally he could only open the door of the cabinet next to him in a disguised manner, and took out a box of tea: "Thank you for your hard work. How about some tea?"

Li Bai seemed indifferent to the memory loss, but was very active in learning to do housework.From cooking to washing dishes, mopping the floor and cleaning the windows, everything is done with one hand.

Zhuge Liang made a phone call after taking a shower. When he came out, he saw Li Bai drying his underwear on the balcony. No need, I can do it myself, next time..."

Underwear needs to be washed by hand. Li Bai heard him say it before, but Zhuge Liang didn't expect that he would take his own with him.

Li Bai looked back at him, not quite understanding why his reaction was so strange: "It's not too much trouble, I'll wash it together."

"I know, I know," Zhuge nodded, his cheeks burning hot, "I mean, it's better for me to do this kind of thing myself... Well, can you understand?"

Li Bai thought for a second, then shook his head.

He could only see that Zhuge Liang was shy, so he said intimately that he knew: "You don't like me touching your personal belongings, do you?"

"It's not..." Zhuge Liang sighed, feeling that it was difficult to explain clearly to him.

In fact, there is no need to care about the same sex.It's just that Zhuge Liang has a good impression of him, and these day and night getting along with such a well-groomed "tenant" by his side will give him an illusion.

It seems that instead of getting along with a temporary tenant, he found a boyfriend, the 24-hour type who can do anything but make money.

But Li Bai just lost his memory... What if he already has a girlfriend, or even married?

Zhuge Liang would occasionally observe his hands. Although there were no traces of wearing rings on his fingers, it was hard to be sure about such things.

Noticing his gaze, Li Bai stretched out his hand and obediently opened his palm to show him.

"Are you looking for a photo?" He asked seriously.

Zhuge Liang couldn't hold it back, touched his palm, and muttered: "No, I just want to know if I can see what you used to do...Since I took you in, I have to take responsibility and help you find your family as soon as possible." , isn't it?"

Li Bai's palm is very wide, not too thick, his fingers are long and slender, and his joints are distinct. There are some thin calluses on his fingertips and palms. It feels a little rough to the touch, but it looks pretty well maintained, with firm skin and no external injuries. , and can't see the traces left by the years.

He seemed to be a little itchy from Zhuge Liang's touch, his fingertips trembled slightly, and he subconsciously closed it, holding his hand instead.

Zhuge Liang was contemplating, but he was taken aback by his palm on the back of his hand, and hurriedly took it back: "Sorry, I don't seem to see anything."

But Li Bai didn't let go of him so quickly, his fingers hooked through his palm, causing a slight tingling itchiness.Zhuge Liang's wrists were weak, and he quickly raised his eyes to glance at Li Bai, thinking, this person must have been an experienced flirt before, it was too skilled and natural.

He returned to the study in an evasive way, his heart beating so fast that it hasn't calmed down for a long time.

Maybe Li Bai did it unintentionally, but Zhuge Liang had to admit that he was completely hooked.

At night he had a dream.He is a normal man who has been single for more than 20 years. He actually dreamed that he was being pressed on the bed by a silver-haired man, and those beautiful hands were walking on his body, touching and teasing him repeatedly.He gasped slightly, and when he struggled to wake up from the dream, his face was still very red.

There were also small movements under the bed.

Li Bai may have heard his tossing and turning, and was startled awake, and asked softly, "Are you okay?"

"It's alright, just go back to sleep."

Zhuge Liang lifted the quilt to cover his head very annoyed, and turned around.

It would be great if I didn't completely connect the other room with the study. Now the study is full of bookcases, computer desks, and a lot of documents and materials packed in storage cabinets.

Now only his bedroom has room for Li Bai to lay the floor.

No personal space at all.Zhuge Liang didn't even know whether he should get up and go to the bathroom to solve his embarrassing physical needs.

Speaking of which, if he accidentally made a strange sound in his dream and Li Bai heard it... would he realize what happened?

Zhuge Liang was not sure.

He thinks this is not the way.

At breakfast the next day, Zhuge Liang put down his chopsticks and decided to have a serious talk with Li Bai.

"Li Bai," he called out the other party's name very rarely, and said seriously, "I think we need to keep a little distance."

Li Bai was taken aback for a moment, then raised his head, as if he wanted to say something, showing a slightly hurt expression.

In order not to let him misunderstand that he disliked him, Zhuge Liang quickly added: "I mean, it's not a problem to let you make a bed on the floor in my room all the time. I plan to buy another bed—"

When he said this, he paused in thought.

"The study room is very big. I have a lot of things. I need some time to tidy up and make room."

But Li Bai interrupted him, and asked directly: "Then, wouldn't it be good to change to a double bed?"

It was Zhuge Liang's turn to be stunned.

His room was very spacious, since there was room for the floor berth, it would be more than enough to replace his current bed with a bigger one.

But... this is not his original intention!

When Zhuge Liang brought Li Bai to the furniture city, he was still confused, reflecting on what he wanted to do.

But Li Bai had already naturally led him by the hand and walked towards the shopping guide. When this happened, Zhuge Liang could only bite the bullet and continue.Of course, he didn't forget to take his hand out.

Li Bai looked back, puzzled.

Zhuge Liang didn't speak, but gave him a look: This is not appropriate.

Two men came to buy a double bed, which seemed ambiguous no matter how you looked at it.Fortunately, Zhuge Liang was always calm, and he could act as if nothing had happened to the probing eyes of others. After placing the order, he hurriedly took Li Bai away.

"Be careful with the car."

Zhuge Liang slowed down and reminded.

Li Bai hasn't been out of the house much these days, and his activities only stay around the neighborhood, taking a walk, and going to a convenience store to buy ice cream for Zhuge Liang.

Facing the huge traffic flow, he still felt a little strange. While walking and watching, Zhuge Liang was afraid that he would get separated from him, so he stretched out his hand and pulled off his sleeve.As a result, Li Bai naturally held his hand again.

"Li Bai..." Zhuge Liang was a little helpless.

"Well, let's go." He thought Zhuge Liang was urging him, so he looked away, and quickened his pace to follow, "Didn't you say you still need to buy vegetables?"

Maybe it was because Li Bai acted too naturally, Zhuge Liang didn't remember to shake off his hand until he entered the supermarket.

But it was still a step too late.They met others on a narrow road at the door, Zhuge Liang heard a surprised "Hey", looked up, and saw that Yuanjia Road was narrow.

That person is a colleague in his research institute.

Zhuge Liang had no opinion on him, but Mr. Zhang didn't think so.He came in the same year as Zhuge Liang, and he was too competitive. He wanted to compete with him in everything, but in the end he didn't fight, so he had to say something bad behind Zhuge Liang's back.

For Zhuge Liang, it didn't hurt or itch. When a friend told him, he just listened to it and didn't take it seriously.

Zhuge Liang didn't intend to communicate too much with Mr. Zhang outside of work, so he just greeted briefly and signaled Li Bai to leave first.

Mr. Zhang's eyes widened. At this moment, his eyes left Li Bai and fell on Zhuge Liang's side, and he became weird: "Oh, Mr. Zhuge, is a good thing coming soon? Why don't you tell everyone——"

His tone was frustrating, which made people feel uncomfortable.

Li Bai is tall and tall, Mr. Zhang only felt that he was short in front of him, and when he was glanced at by the alienated and indifferent eyes, he instinctively realized that the person in front of him was not easy to mess with, so he focused his attention on Zhuge Liang. , coldly mocking him for having caught a wealthy son-in-law, he is afraid that he will resign from the research institute soon and live comfortably.

Zhuge Liang listened, and felt that Li Bai's status should not be underestimated, but it was still a little funny, just about to say something, Li Bai turned around and put his arms around his waist from behind, and brought him into his arms.

"Mister, don't misunderstand." Li Bai put his face next to Zhuge Liang's ear, and smiled slightly at Mr. Zhang, "I am the little boy who was raised by Ah Liang."

Zhuge Liang's heart trembled, and the words he hadn't said yet disappeared on the tip of his tongue: "..."

Mr. Zhang was even more stunned, his jaw was about to drop.

……

Zhuge Liang was in a daze, and was led by Li Bai to buy ingredients, and when he finally got home, he suddenly remembered: "I forgot to buy ducks."

He has been thinking about the duck soup for several weeks, but he still hasn't had it.

He also went to that vegetable market later, but the previous shop seemed to have been replaced by a souvenir shop selling wild mushrooms.

Thinking of this, Zhuge Liang glanced at Li Bai slightly melancholy, remembering the day he picked him up, the duck he had fattened flew away...

When he looked at it, he found that Li Bai's face darkened, his eyebrows were furrowed, and he looked at himself.

"What's wrong?" Zhuge Liang asked.

Li Bai walked forward slowly, stretched out his hand and pushed him to sit on the sofa: "You already have me, why are you looking for another duck?"

Zhuge Liang was startled, and after staring at that handsome face for a moment, he realized that he was not joking.

He seemed to be serious about what he said in the supermarket.

But this……

"Ah, it's not the 'duck', I mean, I want to eat duck—" Zhuge Liang explained dumbfounded, but Li Bai's eyes became more and more serious, and he leaned over and kissed his lips, blocking the rest of his words went in.

Zhuge Liang's eyes widened in a daze, and he sat on the sofa at a loss, surrounded by Li Bai, without any room to escape.

Li Bai supported the back of his head, Zhuge Liang closed his eyes subconsciously, responding to the gentle touch, he did not see the glimmer of light in Li Bai's eyes.

When Li Bai's lips left his, he said softly: "You can eat me."

In the afternoon, the double bed ordered by Zhuge Liang was ready.

That night, when Li Bai pressed him on the bed and touched him bit by bit, he was itching and shivering, and when he was bitten again and weeping, he thought tearfully.

It was obvious that he was eaten!

Wang Zhaojun: The thousand-year-old duck is giving away for free, don't miss this opportunity, time will never come again!
