President online fish farming
Chapter 23
When the two came out of the house, it was almost time for dinner, but this time it was a man's treat.
Tang An originally wanted to refuse, but he had troubled him all afternoon, even if he didn't invite him to dinner, he should have thanked him, how could he still let him treat him.
But looking at the man's expressionless face, and feeling the slight change in the man's aura because of his refusal, he followed him obediently to eat the meal. Fortunately, the atmosphere was quite pleasant during the meal.
It was a bit late to return to the villa, and the deadline for the recommended position was approaching, but he still had a lot of words to count, so he decisively opened the penguin to see if anyone had spelled the words, and planned to hurry up and finish the words.
Traveling alone in the world: Little scholar, how is your writing these days?
Sake Scholar: ┭┮﹏┭┮The application for signing the contract was rejected again, and the master said that I will continue to make changes.
Traveling alone in the world: what?I just said that your master is unreliable, how about you look at me, do you want to worship me as your teacher instead?
As soon as Tang An opened the group chat window, he saw someone trying to seduce Daoguang Jianying's disciples. These people in the group really have nothing to do all day, and they don't feel happy if they don't do something.
Sake Scholar: ┭┮﹏┭┮ I still don’t want it anymore. I was rejected because of my lack of comprehension. Master taught me very carefully, and the deficiencies found out are exactly the same as those rejected by the editor, so I’ll continue to make changes.
Breaking into the world alone: *^_^* Really don't think about it anymore, I am super gentle and patient!
Breaking into the world alone: Otherwise, you can worship me as the second master, so you will have two masters, and one more master will give you advice, maybe it will be the next time?
The application signing system of the Unreal Literature City is that each author can only apply once a week, so after being rejected this time, he has a week to revise, and the next time he is rejected, he will have to wait another week. The long wait is frustrating. torment.
The sake scholar seemed a little hesitant, and sent a "thinking" emoji, probably weighing whether to agree or not. After all, it would not hurt him to have one more master.
Daoguangjianying: (▼皮▼#) You are a person who kills thousands of knives alone, and labor and capital only coded for a while, and you ran out to abduct my apprentice? ? ?
Dao Guang Jian Ying appeared in the group at the right time, interrupted Chuang Tian Tian and continued to promote himself, and a row of emojis saying that he lured his apprentice, all of which were swiped to the top and could no longer be seen.
Breaking into the world alone: I am telling the truth, am I not more gentle and patient than you?
Sword light and cheap shadow: Fart! ! !
No trace: →_→
Traveling alone in the world: *^_^*Little scholar, as long as you are willing to worship me as your teacher, I will be super gentle to you.
The man didn't think it was messy enough, so he added another handful of firewood to the fire.
Daoguangjianying: I have taken a screenshot, when is the party, I will send it to your cutie to see.
Breaking into the world alone: ⊙_⊙? ? ?
Wuhen: O(≧▽≦)O puff, hahahahahahahaha...
Anzhi Yule: Hahaha, sorry, I didn't hold back either.
Breaking into the world alone: =_=... Childish ghost.
Daoguangjianying: Bah, you are the childish ghost, good student, don't just abandon being a teacher because of this bad guy's words, it will be very sad to be a teacher.
Sake Scholar: (づ ̄3 ̄)づ No, Master will always be my only Master.
Sword Light and Cheap Shadow: Disciple is so good! ! !
Wuhen: ...
Anzhi Yule: ...
Sitting in front of the computer screen, Tang An was so amused by them that he couldn't straighten his waist. These people in the group are so funny, what kind of talents are they all? As expected, the editors of False Literature Network have a vicious vision, and it would be a waste not to write .
Breaking into the world alone: I found out that you have changed, you have changed since you had an apprentice, you don't remember us good buddies, do you fall in love with him, and want to get home to be a wife?
Sword light and cheap shadow: What?What nonsense, dare to doubt the sexual orientation of labor and management? ? ?
Sword light and cheap shadow: Do you understand the straight man of steel, do you understand the kind that can't be bent at a thousand degrees Celsius, can it be that it is impossible to dig the wall, and now you want to come here to sow discord with crazy words? ? ?
Going alone in the world: No, no, no, generally speaking, I am normal, but usually I am not normal.
Sword light and cheap shadow: Shit, you will get lost if you break alone! ! ! ! ! !
Sake Scholar: ⊙A⊙
From the slapping emoticon pack frantically swiping the screen, it can be seen that Daoguang Jianying on the other side of the screen is really mad. If the content of the emoticon pack can become a reality, the current Alone Chuang Tiantian would have been beaten to death long ago Ten thousand times.
Dao Guang Jian Ying: Apprentice, let's go, I order you to close the group chat immediately!
Sake Scholar: Follow orders, Master.
Immediately afterwards, the two disappeared, and this time they couldn't cry out no matter what, the group suddenly became quiet.
The main reason is that Dao Guang Jian Ying is so fun to tease, the group is used to teasing him for nothing, but now people are so angry that they run away, the atmosphere suddenly plummeted and even a little embarrassed.
Breaking through the world alone: Cough, it's gone.
Wuhen: ...
Anzhi Yule: ...
Tang An looked at the nickname of "Crafting the World Alone". Everyone knew that this person was gay. He himself had never concealed it, and he also knew that his cutie was a man.
In fact, when Tang An first found out, he was really shocked for a while. Later, when he saw him talking in the group, he always felt weird in his heart, and it took a long time to get used to it.
It's not that I hate him, it's just that it feels like a door has been opened to the new world. It turns out that boys can also like each other with another boy, socialize like ordinary boyfriend and girlfriend, and even put each other on the top of their hearts.
But having said that, since Dao Guang Jian Ying recently had an apprentice, she has always disappeared intermittently, and often two people disappeared together, and when she came out, she was too tired and crooked, and she really had such a sour smell of love .
But it may also be that he thinks too much. There are so many homosexuals in this world. Maybe they are really just ordinary master-student relationships. They disappeared together just to give advice and write articles. Of course they will be angry if they speculate like this.
Tang An didn't think about it anymore, he didn't forget the business of opening the group.
Anzhi Yule: Is anyone spelling tonight?
Wuhen: →_→plan to stay overnight.
Breaking into the world alone: I haven't passed the night for a long time, and I just have a rest tomorrow, so come on.
Tang An originally just wanted to spell words like last time, but he didn't expect them to be so ruthless all night, but thinking about it, apart from the overnight stay a few days ago, he was depressed in the past two days, and the courier service at the door. Such suspicion, always unable to calm down to code words.
If there are any changes in the next few days, I will definitely not be able to finish writing on the blacklist.
So, tonight he has to fight.
Anzhi Yule: ...take me.
Breaking into the world alone: I will open the room, you follow.
No trace: No problem.
So that night, the three of them never came out of the spelling room again, and they stayed all night once.
At six o'clock the next morning, Tang An, who had finished spelling, slumped in front of the computer and lay limply on the table. He was so tired that he could barely open his eyes, and he was so dizzy that he couldn't focus clearly.
Even if I look at the place outside the screen, I always feel that it is covered with words, my whole body is so stiff that I can hardly move, and my fingers are so sore from knocking all night.
Into the World Alone: Guys, I'm going to bed.
No trace: +1
Tang An didn't even have the strength to reply, and his body was exhausted to the extreme. He could guarantee that if he was asked to write one more word, he would not be able to help but spit it out.
That night, he fully realized the abnormality of these two people. It took the same time, and their number of code words was more than twice that of his. He even wondered if there was a bug in the function of counting words.
But he knew very well in his heart that it was definitely real data.
Tang An turned off the computer and stood up from the desk. The state of the past two days was not good, and he finally recovered after going out to relax. Now he has been punished all night, almost turning off the computer with his eyes closed, in a trance walked to the pool.
Before he could even take off his shirt, he slipped and fell into the water, and disappeared for hours.
And the man in the other villa saw the boy sitting in front of the computer before going to bed, until he woke up the next morning, and found him sitting in that position with his long and narrow eyes narrowed slightly.
According to his observations during this period, this mermaid likes playing computer very much, and spends a lot of time sitting in front of the computer every day. Although he doesn't know what he is playing, but sitting in front of the computer repeatedly and staying up late, you can see his Internet addiction very big.
Children of his age are most likely to be silent on the Internet and unable to extricate themselves. Coupled with the lack of family discipline, they develop bad work and rest habits of staying up late.
Tang An, who was lying in the water, didn't know that the man had already planned in his heart whether to contact the Internet company to stop the Internet.
Tang An didn't sleep well this time. Even lying in his favorite sea water, he still felt very heavy. He didn't know how long he had slept. Become weak.
He forced his eyes to open, and finally swam to the pool, turned back into a human and fell to the ground after walking two steps on his legs. He accidentally knocked a bone and burst into tears.
I wanted to get up from the ground, but my body couldn't exert any strength at all. The wet cloth stuck to my skin, and I couldn't lift my hands to take it off, so I just lay down on the ground and fell asleep again.
When the man turned on the surveillance again in the company, he saw a figure lying on the ground of the villa. This was the first time he saw a mermaid lying on the ground, and he faintly felt that something was wrong.
"President, the documents you want..." The assistant had just brought in a stack of documents, but saw the president slamming the notebook shut, and his tall body walked past him to the door.
"President, where are you going?" The assistant tried to follow up and asked, but the figure had already entered the elevator first. What happened to make this workaholic leave work and leave.
The car was driving on the road like the wind, and the man's hand holding the steering wheel was so hard that it turned white. He was almost scratched by other cars several times. This was not like him in the past.
Calmness and calmness have nothing to do with him now.
In the end, the car stopped in front of a huge villa, which was very close to the sea and kept a distance from other villas. There were no recreational facilities around it, so no tourists came here to play, and the environment was comfortable and quiet.
The first time he came to this villa while the boy was still there, he knew that if he opened the villa door rashly, he might accidentally frighten him, but he hesitated for a few seconds before opening the door with the key.
Because the man is now more worried about the boy's condition than he is afraid of scaring him.
The closed door was pushed open from the outside for a long time, and then closed again. There was a figure in the huge villa. Relying on the picture he saw on the surveillance, the man walked in with his legs. He remembered that the boy was lying down. moving position.
There was no sound in the quiet villa, and the curtains were almost all drawn. In an overly quiet environment, the sound of shoe soles touching the ground could be clearly heard.
Near the corridor connecting the swimming pool, the man saw the boy who fell to the ground in the surveillance.
The thin figure was lying on the ground, the posture was the same as that seen in the surveillance just now, he lay there without moving, it was very sure that it was abnormal.
He walked over and picked up the boy from the ground. The wet cloth was sticking to his thin body, and the body under his hands was icy cold. If he hadn't hugged the boy before, he knew that his body temperature was already low, and he might have thought he was dying.
"Hmm..." Tang An, who was picked up by someone, groaned softly, and regained a little bit of consciousness, but his heavy eyelids seemed to be covered with glue, and he couldn't open his eyes at all, and his mind was so blurred that he couldn't think.
Shang Linyi's body was slightly stiff, until he felt the boy in his arms fell asleep again, then he took him up to the room on the second floor and gently placed him on the big soft bed.
Seeing his thin body sinking into the bed, the shirt on his body was completely soaked, the white cloth became translucent, reflecting the cold white and smooth skin inside, the wide open neckline was pulled aside, and the cloth stretched out the bumps of the collarbone. radian.
The man narrowed his long and narrow eyes slightly, and slowly leaned over to approach the sleeping boy, touching the beautiful face with his slender fingertips, looking at the thick and curly eyelashes and pale pink lips in front of him.
"Oh, it's hard..."
Uncomfortable moans sounded again, Shang Linyi quickly withdrew his fingers as if he had just woken up from a dream, his handsome face was expressionless, his tall body left above the boy, and he went to the closet next to him to find a clean shirt.
But when he returned to the bed with a new shirt, he saw the young man tugging at the collar in a daze. There was a mark on his fair neck by the collar, and the hem of his clothes was rolled up a lot, revealing his snow-white and slender waist. The thin quilt was raised to cover the abdomen and lower body, so as not to be exposed.
"Don't move around." The long and slender palm grabbed the hand that moved around to stop him from moving around. The other hand unbuttoned his shirt, helped him take off his wet clothes, and took the clean shirt next to him to change for him. superior.
But the young man was restless, his writhing body rubbed against the man's strong chest, his legs were shaking and kicking randomly, and suddenly he accidentally landed on some position, the man took a deep breath, and pinned down his hands and feet that were acting out of control , a trace of blood reflected in the long and narrow eyes.
"I said, don't move." With a low and hoarse voice like the roar of a beast, hot panting came from deep in his throat, spraying on the boy's slender and fair neck.
The young man seemed to have really heard it, and he didn't move any more. Then the man continued to help him put on his sleeves, pulled up his loose shirt and buttoned it.
After doing all this, a thin layer of sweat was already breaking out on my body.
The room with half-opened curtains was a little dark, but this did not prevent Shang Linyi from seeing the boy's appearance clearly. The person on the bed obviously did not sleep soundly. The corners of the eyes overflowed with traces of crystal clearness.
"Don't go..." The heavy gasping and choking voice declared the torment in his sleep, his cold body trembling slightly, like a little beast abandoned by its master.
"Oh, Dad...Mom..."
The man's fragile appearance fell into the eyes of the man, his deep eyes were pitch black, and he stretched out his fingers to help the young man brush away the hair sticking to his face, revealing his smooth and snow-white forehead.
Suddenly, the back was tightly embraced by the thin arms, and the tall body fell heavily towards the young man. Fortunately, the strong arms supported it in time, and the weight of the falling body was slightly slowed down, and he was not crushed by it.
"No, don't leave me alone."
The teenager who fell into a nightmare couldn't wake up, the crystal tears kept dripping from the corners of his eyes, and the pillow under his body was dizzy with water stains. In his dream, he tried his best to keep the warmth that was about to go away, and he didn't want to let go of his parents who hugged him tightly. leave.
The man didn't pull the boy's arm away, and just kept it as it was, allowing the boy to hug him and sob softly.
He didn't know who this mermaid lived with before meeting him, what kind of life he lived, where he learned the skills of living in human society, and what unknown pains he experienced.
But now, a strange emotion sprouted in his heart told him that he didn't want this mermaid to be hurt again.
As time passed, the posture of the man lying on the young man changed to him lying on his back on the bed at some point, and the young man clung to his neck relentlessly, with his little silver head attached to the place where his heart was beating, so stable I fell asleep for a long time.
It was the first time that the man had such close contact with the mermaid, and he didn't dare to take the boy to the hospital for fear that the doctor would find out something he shouldn't know, which would cause trouble for the boy.
However, through my own observation, I found that the situation has gradually calmed down, and it seems that my body has gradually improved.
He just let the boy lie on his chest, and after an unknown amount of time, he also fell asleep together.
……
When Tang An woke up from the bed, he only felt that his headache was about to explode, and the arm supporting his body was very sore. He couldn't remember anything that happened after the spelling was over, and he only felt that his mind was blank.
When did he go to bed to sleep, I don't know...
How long did he sleep this time, I don't know...
The sequelae of staying up all night were more serious than expected. Not to mention the weakness of the whole body, the tightness in the chest and the loss of appetite, even the speed of thinking slowed down, and there was a tingling pain when the head shook slightly.
Last night it wasn't so serious, so Tang An felt that it was not only the sequelae of staying up all night, but he was probably sick.
It turns out that mermaids can also get sick, and he really doesn't know anything about himself, as if he really doesn't know anything about himself except that he can change back into a fish tail as he wishes.
But it can't be all his fault, there are really no other mermaids to teach him these things.
Sometimes he also felt confused, why he woke up alone in the sea, and who gave birth to this body, did this mermaid body have no parents, and where did his people go?
If he was born of another mermaid, maybe he can find his own kind in the future.
However, what if this life was just fabricated by God in order to resurrect him?
Then in this world, maybe there really won't be a second mermaid.
Thinking of this, Tang An suddenly felt a little depressed, but there was nothing he could do about it. It was God's greatest mercy that he could continue to live in this world.
With a splitting headache, he didn't want to worry anymore, so he simply diverted his attention and recalled the previous things.
He tried hard to recall the memory after turning off the computer, but after thinking about it for a while, he still couldn't remember it at all. He seemed to have lost a memory suddenly.
Could it be that I was too sleepy at the time, so I ran to the bed and fell asleep in a daze, and I don't know how long I slept.
At this time, Tang An had completely forgotten that he once pestered a man and cried like a child on his body.
And he didn't realize that he had been changed.
It can't be blamed that he didn't notice it at all. In fact, the shirts in the closet were all of the same style, and even if there were differences, it was only a slight difference. Tang An, who had always been careless, couldn't tell the difference even after wearing it several times.
However, the content of that surveillance video was preserved by the man after he returned, and it became ironclad evidence to accuse him of molesting him in the future. Of course, these are all things to come.
If I really want to say the benefits brought by this all-night stay, Tang An finally completed the number of words required for the recommended position, uploaded all the saved manuscripts to Penguin's collection with sleepiness, and shut down the computer after clearing the traces.
When he recovers later, he will download the manuscript again to catch bugs, divide it into chapters reasonably and save it in the manuscript box of the website, and then he won't have to worry about being blacklisted anymore.
Now the big stone in my heart finally fell.
Probably relieved, Tang An soon began to feel sleepy again, collapsed on the bed and continued to catch up on sleep. Staying up all night really hurt his body, and he probably couldn't lift his spirits these two days.
Tang An was woken up by the noise coming from the door.
When he was in a drowsy sleep, when he heard a strange noise coming from the door, as if someone was about to open the door to come in, he was so frightened that he woke up from the dream instantly.
He jumped up from the bed and wanted to escape, but seeing the mess of the bed, he could only turn around and tidy up, and ran to the side window on the first floor, ready to escape through the window at any time.
However, it didn't take long for the movement to disappear.
His keen hearing told him that there was no one outside the door, but Tang An still cautiously spent a long time before poking his head out of the window to have a look, then went out and walked to the door.
In front of the high gate of the villa, there was originally a courier box, but now there is a small box, and the transparent tape that seals the box can be vaguely seen, as if there are snack bags inside the box.
Why is it a courier again? Who sent these things? It looks like something for children. Is it true that the owner of the villa is planning to come and live here, and he also brought the children with him?
Tang An's heart was full of melancholy, it seemed that the speed of finding a house had to be increased, otherwise he would really have to go back to live in the sea, which was the last result he wanted.
……
After all, the day of placing a recommendation position is coming. Tang An has gained [-] hits and [-] hits, and he has risen from that unremarkable position. His growth rate is not the best in the same period, but it is not the fastest either. Poor, barely maintained at the middle level.
However, this level is far from enough, so it is conceivable that he was vacated immediately after he finished it, and another book took his place, and his book has been submerged in the vast sea of books, and it is difficult for anyone to find it again.
Looking at the stranger who took his place, Tang An was filled with melancholy, but fortunately he was not on the blacklist, as long as he was not on the blacklist, he would still have a chance next week.
At least the recommendation this time gave him a general idea of his own level, which is actually quite a bit worse than him, but he still has room for improvement, and then he discovered the shortcomings of his own plot, and the next plot may be changed again. If you change it, you will get better results in the future.
Tang An is not a particularly rigid person, unlike some authors who are desperate to dig into the horns, he will judge what the readers like based on the direction of the comments, see what they expect from him, and then work hard in that direction.
The number of words written recently is a bit too much, and his condition is getting better and better, and he can even catch some signs. Maybe if he works hard this week, he will have his place next week.
He secretly poked and looked forward to it, and clicked the "Apply for Recommendation" button again, and saw that it changed to "Applied", and moved the mouse in his hand to close the webpage.
Tang An felt a lot more relaxed after breaking away from the recommended number of words. Now, as long as he keeps daily updates every day, he suddenly relaxes after being nervous for several days, but he is not used to it.
The group is also discussing the recommended position. Daoguang Jianying got a good recommended position this week just like he said last time. Sure enough, the editor didn't give it to him last week because he wanted to leave a good one here. a week.
Tang An was also very happy for him, silently looking forward to envy, hoping that one day he would be able to get such a good recommendation.
In short, he has already decided that no matter whether he has money or not, even if he saves a lot of money by selling fish, he doesn't have to worry about living, and writing is still a lifetime thing.
He loves to write, and even if this matter is changed to another shell, it is impossible to change it.
……
In the huge villa room, the man who just took a shower looked at the teenager in the surveillance, and saw that he was not sitting in front of the computer, but was reading on the sofa with a book.
With his super memory, Shang Linyi recognized that it was one of the books on his bookshelf, and it was one of the only books in the row of heavy books that did not belong to business.
When he was still studying a few years ago, he went there for a while during the summer vacation. Those books were bought at that time. He read books faster than ordinary people, and he finished them all in a short time.
As for the few other books, he felt that the bookshelf was too monotonous and bought them as spices. Presumably the young man must have stared at the bookshelf for a long time after he found this book.
Still, if it's not about business, it's definitely not recreational, and remains obscure to the average person.
But now, the boy was holding that book in his hands, flipping through page after page with relish.
There are two layers of curtains in the villa. The one next to the window glass is a layer of white tulle curtains, and the other is a layer of very high-density fabric curtains. When the two layers are fully closed, there is no light at all from the outside. It is said that where the rich live, even the quality of the curtains is very good.
The boy has become more courageous recently, and dared to turn on the small wall lamp secretly, so the man can see his appearance clearly.
Under the dim yellow light, a thin and thin figure curled up on the sofa, reading the content with relish. He was still wearing a large snow-white shirt, and his head with short silver curly hair was tilted slightly, leaning against the soft edge of the sofa On the top, the too cold white fingers added a bit of blood under the dim light, holding a thick hardcover book and flipping through it.
This position was maintained for a while, probably because he was tired of looking at it like this, so he lay down on the sofa to look through it instead, leaving only the hairy back of the man's head.
However, from this angle, the man could just see what he was reading. His round fingertips slid across the text, casting a shadow on the dim pages of the book. Occasionally, the fingertips stopped moving, as if thinking about something, but It didn't take long to continue looking down.
Although I read this book a long time ago, when the man saw the words on it again, he could still construct the memories and insights of that time in his mind.
He just watched quietly like this, and he didn't know how long the time had passed, and he didn't feel bored.
At this moment, he seemed to be sitting next to the young man, turning the next page with him, reading the text on it together, and the breath of the two merged together.
It's a wonderful feeling, just like that day in the library.
When the teenager sees a plot he particularly likes, he can't wait to turn his head and share the unique insights in his heart with him without reservation, and his light blue eyes are shining brightly.
Maybe there are some sayings in it, which are too superficial for a man to understand, but this does not prevent him from having an inexplicable emotion flowing in his heart, which is an emotion so strange that he cannot understand it.
But he doesn't hate it.
Tang An flipped through the book in his hand. In fact, the content inside was not very understandable. This was not the type he liked to read in the past, but now that he picked it up and read it, he didn't find out why, so he wouldn't take the book lightly. Put it back.
Yes, he is such a stubborn person.
He can be very free with some things, but only for reading books, he has always been willing to delve into it, eager to get more knowledge, and wants to understand more things through words.
If he had studied all the way back then, according to his desire for knowledge, he might have been able to get into a good university, but it's a pity that fate loves to play tricks on people.
A few years of depression has already changed everything. He has long forgotten many knowledge points, and now he can't go back to everything. He can only tell himself to look forward, at least he is still alive.
That night, Tang An just lay on the sofa reading a book, and accidentally fell asleep while watching.
When I woke up the next day, my waist was sore and my back was sore. I jumped into the pool and swam for a while before my stiff and painful body was relieved. The mermaid's recovery ability is still good.
While it was still early, he sneaked into the sea to catch some fish to sell, and made a lot of money this morning.
When all the fish in the bucket were sold out, Tang An took the money he had earned in the past few days and embarked on the journey of looking for a rental house again. This time, he planned to visit another place. According to the Internet, there are quite a lot of houses for rent nearby. , hoping to find a place that is willing to take him in.
……
In the southern coastal city in June, many people had already changed into summer clothes, especially these two days were extremely hot, and it was estimated that there would be a heavy rainstorm in a few days, but before the rainstorm came, Tang An said that he was going crazy from the heat.
In order not to be dried into fish by the scorching sun, he went to the supermarket to buy an umbrella shortly after he came out. However, at noon, the black parasol above his head was useless, because more heat came from the scalding It came from the ground, and it was so hot that it made people dizzy.
"Young man, are you okay?" The old man at the roadside stall saw the young man leaning against the wall with a pale face, shaking his fingers holding the umbrella handle, as if he was about to pass out, "It's been so hot these two days, you Could it be heat stroke?"
"It's okay..." In fact, looking at the road in front of him that was blurred by heat, his brain has long been covered with heat, and his skin is so dry that it hurts. Now he just wants to soak himself in the sea water, and it's best not to come out today. up.
"Why don't you come over and rest for a while, it's quite cool under this tree." The uncle continued to say kindly.
Tang An looked under the shade of the tree and stood there for a moment, hesitating for a moment. Finally, he couldn't resist the uncomfortable burning sensation on his body. He followed his words and walked under the tree. He sat down on the stone steps around the root of the tree, feeling the breeze blow Bring a little coolness.
"Are you a foreigner?" The uncle stared at his silver curly hair and his pair of light blue eyes. Such features can only appear on foreigners, and although the boy's fair and beautiful face is biased towards Chinese, it still has With a little mixed-race taste.
Tang An just smiled and didn't directly deny it.
"Mandarin is really good, do you want to eat mangoes?" The uncle said, stuffing the ripe mangoes with a sweet smell into his arms, and he would not allow him to refuse. For such a beautiful baby, it is a person who looks at it in his heart Everyone has a good impression.
"It's really not easy to start a small business these days. It's so cold here in winter, and it's so hot in summer. It's just starting to get hot, and it will be difficult in the next few months..." The uncle chatted to himself like this .
"Recently, the streets are under strict control. My son told me not to do it, but how can I be willing to do it for decades? I used to do it in District C, but now I am not allowed to set up a stall, so I moved to District E. Probably won’t be able to do it anytime soon.”
City Z’s construction inspections are getting stricter and stricter. Many vendors that used to be flooded have disappeared, and the rest may not be able to continue to do business soon. Many children have grown up and retired, and those who want to earn money can only do so. To rent a storefront, those who can't afford it can only change careers or go back to the countryside.
Tang An has stayed in Z City for the past few years, and he has also been deeply touched by the changes in the city. When he first came here, there were many dropout students around him. How can anyone dare to recruit such young workers now? Those who are not old enough can only carry luggage go home.
Children of that age, before they can make money by themselves, should sit in the classroom with textbooks and make more capital for their future society. Most of them have no way out like him.
Tang An was deeply moved. He knew that the country was getting better and better, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. The society was constantly improving. For example, the probability of committing a crime had decreased a lot in the past two years.
However, this increasingly strict system has made him suffer a lot now.
"Master, do you know where you can rent a house nearby?" Tang An asked with a yellow mango in his hand, not in a hurry to peel and eat it.
"There are quite a lot of them around here. The house prices and rents near the city center are too expensive. Everyone flocks to this area. You can see that the area in front is full of..." The uncle said so much that his spit was flying, and he talked for a long time. A lot of introductions, those who don't know think he is selling accommodation.
It's just a pity that Tang An has checked all these on the Internet, and the conditions for moving in must also bring an ID card. This is to protect the lives and property of other tenants. In short, there is no ID card these days. It is "difficult to move an inch".
After eating a sweet mango, Tang An's throat was not as dry as before, and he regained some strength and continued to walk forward, holding a black parasol with one hand, and wiping the thin sweat that gushed out again with the other hand.
He plans to continue walking for a while, and stop here if he can't find it today. The weather is obviously not suitable for walking outside. If he can't hold on and faints and turns back into a mermaid, it will definitely be the biggest fish in his life. disaster.
Facing the scorching sun on his head, the hot-faced boy continued to walk forward with an umbrella, and passed through several huge streets. The heat came up through the soles of his shoes and almost burned his feet. The mermaid's body is more afraid of heat than humans. He had already experienced this deeply before.
For ordinary people, this kind of weather is just the beginning of summer, but to him, it is really like being in a steam oven, so his mind began to become unconscious again as he walked, and even his footsteps became more and more slow. slower.
Tang An shook his drowsy head. He saw the signboard of a rental house on the opposite side of the road. It seemed that he hadn't seen it on the Internet, and he was overjoyed.
Who knew that just as he was about to take a step, there was an unbearable stabbing pain in his head, the picture in front of him suddenly turned white, and his body lost his center of gravity and fell to the side.
Before losing consciousness, Tang An was thankful that he hadn't stepped out of the road, otherwise he might be run over by a car again.
In the past two lifetimes, being with Damalu can be regarded as a great bond
Tang An originally wanted to refuse, but he had troubled him all afternoon, even if he didn't invite him to dinner, he should have thanked him, how could he still let him treat him.
But looking at the man's expressionless face, and feeling the slight change in the man's aura because of his refusal, he followed him obediently to eat the meal. Fortunately, the atmosphere was quite pleasant during the meal.
It was a bit late to return to the villa, and the deadline for the recommended position was approaching, but he still had a lot of words to count, so he decisively opened the penguin to see if anyone had spelled the words, and planned to hurry up and finish the words.
Traveling alone in the world: Little scholar, how is your writing these days?
Sake Scholar: ┭┮﹏┭┮The application for signing the contract was rejected again, and the master said that I will continue to make changes.
Traveling alone in the world: what?I just said that your master is unreliable, how about you look at me, do you want to worship me as your teacher instead?
As soon as Tang An opened the group chat window, he saw someone trying to seduce Daoguang Jianying's disciples. These people in the group really have nothing to do all day, and they don't feel happy if they don't do something.
Sake Scholar: ┭┮﹏┭┮ I still don’t want it anymore. I was rejected because of my lack of comprehension. Master taught me very carefully, and the deficiencies found out are exactly the same as those rejected by the editor, so I’ll continue to make changes.
Breaking into the world alone: *^_^* Really don't think about it anymore, I am super gentle and patient!
Breaking into the world alone: Otherwise, you can worship me as the second master, so you will have two masters, and one more master will give you advice, maybe it will be the next time?
The application signing system of the Unreal Literature City is that each author can only apply once a week, so after being rejected this time, he has a week to revise, and the next time he is rejected, he will have to wait another week. The long wait is frustrating. torment.
The sake scholar seemed a little hesitant, and sent a "thinking" emoji, probably weighing whether to agree or not. After all, it would not hurt him to have one more master.
Daoguangjianying: (▼皮▼#) You are a person who kills thousands of knives alone, and labor and capital only coded for a while, and you ran out to abduct my apprentice? ? ?
Dao Guang Jian Ying appeared in the group at the right time, interrupted Chuang Tian Tian and continued to promote himself, and a row of emojis saying that he lured his apprentice, all of which were swiped to the top and could no longer be seen.
Breaking into the world alone: I am telling the truth, am I not more gentle and patient than you?
Sword light and cheap shadow: Fart! ! !
No trace: →_→
Traveling alone in the world: *^_^*Little scholar, as long as you are willing to worship me as your teacher, I will be super gentle to you.
The man didn't think it was messy enough, so he added another handful of firewood to the fire.
Daoguangjianying: I have taken a screenshot, when is the party, I will send it to your cutie to see.
Breaking into the world alone: ⊙_⊙? ? ?
Wuhen: O(≧▽≦)O puff, hahahahahahahaha...
Anzhi Yule: Hahaha, sorry, I didn't hold back either.
Breaking into the world alone: =_=... Childish ghost.
Daoguangjianying: Bah, you are the childish ghost, good student, don't just abandon being a teacher because of this bad guy's words, it will be very sad to be a teacher.
Sake Scholar: (づ ̄3 ̄)づ No, Master will always be my only Master.
Sword Light and Cheap Shadow: Disciple is so good! ! !
Wuhen: ...
Anzhi Yule: ...
Sitting in front of the computer screen, Tang An was so amused by them that he couldn't straighten his waist. These people in the group are so funny, what kind of talents are they all? As expected, the editors of False Literature Network have a vicious vision, and it would be a waste not to write .
Breaking into the world alone: I found out that you have changed, you have changed since you had an apprentice, you don't remember us good buddies, do you fall in love with him, and want to get home to be a wife?
Sword light and cheap shadow: What?What nonsense, dare to doubt the sexual orientation of labor and management? ? ?
Sword light and cheap shadow: Do you understand the straight man of steel, do you understand the kind that can't be bent at a thousand degrees Celsius, can it be that it is impossible to dig the wall, and now you want to come here to sow discord with crazy words? ? ?
Going alone in the world: No, no, no, generally speaking, I am normal, but usually I am not normal.
Sword light and cheap shadow: Shit, you will get lost if you break alone! ! ! ! ! !
Sake Scholar: ⊙A⊙
From the slapping emoticon pack frantically swiping the screen, it can be seen that Daoguang Jianying on the other side of the screen is really mad. If the content of the emoticon pack can become a reality, the current Alone Chuang Tiantian would have been beaten to death long ago Ten thousand times.
Dao Guang Jian Ying: Apprentice, let's go, I order you to close the group chat immediately!
Sake Scholar: Follow orders, Master.
Immediately afterwards, the two disappeared, and this time they couldn't cry out no matter what, the group suddenly became quiet.
The main reason is that Dao Guang Jian Ying is so fun to tease, the group is used to teasing him for nothing, but now people are so angry that they run away, the atmosphere suddenly plummeted and even a little embarrassed.
Breaking through the world alone: Cough, it's gone.
Wuhen: ...
Anzhi Yule: ...
Tang An looked at the nickname of "Crafting the World Alone". Everyone knew that this person was gay. He himself had never concealed it, and he also knew that his cutie was a man.
In fact, when Tang An first found out, he was really shocked for a while. Later, when he saw him talking in the group, he always felt weird in his heart, and it took a long time to get used to it.
It's not that I hate him, it's just that it feels like a door has been opened to the new world. It turns out that boys can also like each other with another boy, socialize like ordinary boyfriend and girlfriend, and even put each other on the top of their hearts.
But having said that, since Dao Guang Jian Ying recently had an apprentice, she has always disappeared intermittently, and often two people disappeared together, and when she came out, she was too tired and crooked, and she really had such a sour smell of love .
But it may also be that he thinks too much. There are so many homosexuals in this world. Maybe they are really just ordinary master-student relationships. They disappeared together just to give advice and write articles. Of course they will be angry if they speculate like this.
Tang An didn't think about it anymore, he didn't forget the business of opening the group.
Anzhi Yule: Is anyone spelling tonight?
Wuhen: →_→plan to stay overnight.
Breaking into the world alone: I haven't passed the night for a long time, and I just have a rest tomorrow, so come on.
Tang An originally just wanted to spell words like last time, but he didn't expect them to be so ruthless all night, but thinking about it, apart from the overnight stay a few days ago, he was depressed in the past two days, and the courier service at the door. Such suspicion, always unable to calm down to code words.
If there are any changes in the next few days, I will definitely not be able to finish writing on the blacklist.
So, tonight he has to fight.
Anzhi Yule: ...take me.
Breaking into the world alone: I will open the room, you follow.
No trace: No problem.
So that night, the three of them never came out of the spelling room again, and they stayed all night once.
At six o'clock the next morning, Tang An, who had finished spelling, slumped in front of the computer and lay limply on the table. He was so tired that he could barely open his eyes, and he was so dizzy that he couldn't focus clearly.
Even if I look at the place outside the screen, I always feel that it is covered with words, my whole body is so stiff that I can hardly move, and my fingers are so sore from knocking all night.
Into the World Alone: Guys, I'm going to bed.
No trace: +1
Tang An didn't even have the strength to reply, and his body was exhausted to the extreme. He could guarantee that if he was asked to write one more word, he would not be able to help but spit it out.
That night, he fully realized the abnormality of these two people. It took the same time, and their number of code words was more than twice that of his. He even wondered if there was a bug in the function of counting words.
But he knew very well in his heart that it was definitely real data.
Tang An turned off the computer and stood up from the desk. The state of the past two days was not good, and he finally recovered after going out to relax. Now he has been punished all night, almost turning off the computer with his eyes closed, in a trance walked to the pool.
Before he could even take off his shirt, he slipped and fell into the water, and disappeared for hours.
And the man in the other villa saw the boy sitting in front of the computer before going to bed, until he woke up the next morning, and found him sitting in that position with his long and narrow eyes narrowed slightly.
According to his observations during this period, this mermaid likes playing computer very much, and spends a lot of time sitting in front of the computer every day. Although he doesn't know what he is playing, but sitting in front of the computer repeatedly and staying up late, you can see his Internet addiction very big.
Children of his age are most likely to be silent on the Internet and unable to extricate themselves. Coupled with the lack of family discipline, they develop bad work and rest habits of staying up late.
Tang An, who was lying in the water, didn't know that the man had already planned in his heart whether to contact the Internet company to stop the Internet.
Tang An didn't sleep well this time. Even lying in his favorite sea water, he still felt very heavy. He didn't know how long he had slept. Become weak.
He forced his eyes to open, and finally swam to the pool, turned back into a human and fell to the ground after walking two steps on his legs. He accidentally knocked a bone and burst into tears.
I wanted to get up from the ground, but my body couldn't exert any strength at all. The wet cloth stuck to my skin, and I couldn't lift my hands to take it off, so I just lay down on the ground and fell asleep again.
When the man turned on the surveillance again in the company, he saw a figure lying on the ground of the villa. This was the first time he saw a mermaid lying on the ground, and he faintly felt that something was wrong.
"President, the documents you want..." The assistant had just brought in a stack of documents, but saw the president slamming the notebook shut, and his tall body walked past him to the door.
"President, where are you going?" The assistant tried to follow up and asked, but the figure had already entered the elevator first. What happened to make this workaholic leave work and leave.
The car was driving on the road like the wind, and the man's hand holding the steering wheel was so hard that it turned white. He was almost scratched by other cars several times. This was not like him in the past.
Calmness and calmness have nothing to do with him now.
In the end, the car stopped in front of a huge villa, which was very close to the sea and kept a distance from other villas. There were no recreational facilities around it, so no tourists came here to play, and the environment was comfortable and quiet.
The first time he came to this villa while the boy was still there, he knew that if he opened the villa door rashly, he might accidentally frighten him, but he hesitated for a few seconds before opening the door with the key.
Because the man is now more worried about the boy's condition than he is afraid of scaring him.
The closed door was pushed open from the outside for a long time, and then closed again. There was a figure in the huge villa. Relying on the picture he saw on the surveillance, the man walked in with his legs. He remembered that the boy was lying down. moving position.
There was no sound in the quiet villa, and the curtains were almost all drawn. In an overly quiet environment, the sound of shoe soles touching the ground could be clearly heard.
Near the corridor connecting the swimming pool, the man saw the boy who fell to the ground in the surveillance.
The thin figure was lying on the ground, the posture was the same as that seen in the surveillance just now, he lay there without moving, it was very sure that it was abnormal.
He walked over and picked up the boy from the ground. The wet cloth was sticking to his thin body, and the body under his hands was icy cold. If he hadn't hugged the boy before, he knew that his body temperature was already low, and he might have thought he was dying.
"Hmm..." Tang An, who was picked up by someone, groaned softly, and regained a little bit of consciousness, but his heavy eyelids seemed to be covered with glue, and he couldn't open his eyes at all, and his mind was so blurred that he couldn't think.
Shang Linyi's body was slightly stiff, until he felt the boy in his arms fell asleep again, then he took him up to the room on the second floor and gently placed him on the big soft bed.
Seeing his thin body sinking into the bed, the shirt on his body was completely soaked, the white cloth became translucent, reflecting the cold white and smooth skin inside, the wide open neckline was pulled aside, and the cloth stretched out the bumps of the collarbone. radian.
The man narrowed his long and narrow eyes slightly, and slowly leaned over to approach the sleeping boy, touching the beautiful face with his slender fingertips, looking at the thick and curly eyelashes and pale pink lips in front of him.
"Oh, it's hard..."
Uncomfortable moans sounded again, Shang Linyi quickly withdrew his fingers as if he had just woken up from a dream, his handsome face was expressionless, his tall body left above the boy, and he went to the closet next to him to find a clean shirt.
But when he returned to the bed with a new shirt, he saw the young man tugging at the collar in a daze. There was a mark on his fair neck by the collar, and the hem of his clothes was rolled up a lot, revealing his snow-white and slender waist. The thin quilt was raised to cover the abdomen and lower body, so as not to be exposed.
"Don't move around." The long and slender palm grabbed the hand that moved around to stop him from moving around. The other hand unbuttoned his shirt, helped him take off his wet clothes, and took the clean shirt next to him to change for him. superior.
But the young man was restless, his writhing body rubbed against the man's strong chest, his legs were shaking and kicking randomly, and suddenly he accidentally landed on some position, the man took a deep breath, and pinned down his hands and feet that were acting out of control , a trace of blood reflected in the long and narrow eyes.
"I said, don't move." With a low and hoarse voice like the roar of a beast, hot panting came from deep in his throat, spraying on the boy's slender and fair neck.
The young man seemed to have really heard it, and he didn't move any more. Then the man continued to help him put on his sleeves, pulled up his loose shirt and buttoned it.
After doing all this, a thin layer of sweat was already breaking out on my body.
The room with half-opened curtains was a little dark, but this did not prevent Shang Linyi from seeing the boy's appearance clearly. The person on the bed obviously did not sleep soundly. The corners of the eyes overflowed with traces of crystal clearness.
"Don't go..." The heavy gasping and choking voice declared the torment in his sleep, his cold body trembling slightly, like a little beast abandoned by its master.
"Oh, Dad...Mom..."
The man's fragile appearance fell into the eyes of the man, his deep eyes were pitch black, and he stretched out his fingers to help the young man brush away the hair sticking to his face, revealing his smooth and snow-white forehead.
Suddenly, the back was tightly embraced by the thin arms, and the tall body fell heavily towards the young man. Fortunately, the strong arms supported it in time, and the weight of the falling body was slightly slowed down, and he was not crushed by it.
"No, don't leave me alone."
The teenager who fell into a nightmare couldn't wake up, the crystal tears kept dripping from the corners of his eyes, and the pillow under his body was dizzy with water stains. In his dream, he tried his best to keep the warmth that was about to go away, and he didn't want to let go of his parents who hugged him tightly. leave.
The man didn't pull the boy's arm away, and just kept it as it was, allowing the boy to hug him and sob softly.
He didn't know who this mermaid lived with before meeting him, what kind of life he lived, where he learned the skills of living in human society, and what unknown pains he experienced.
But now, a strange emotion sprouted in his heart told him that he didn't want this mermaid to be hurt again.
As time passed, the posture of the man lying on the young man changed to him lying on his back on the bed at some point, and the young man clung to his neck relentlessly, with his little silver head attached to the place where his heart was beating, so stable I fell asleep for a long time.
It was the first time that the man had such close contact with the mermaid, and he didn't dare to take the boy to the hospital for fear that the doctor would find out something he shouldn't know, which would cause trouble for the boy.
However, through my own observation, I found that the situation has gradually calmed down, and it seems that my body has gradually improved.
He just let the boy lie on his chest, and after an unknown amount of time, he also fell asleep together.
……
When Tang An woke up from the bed, he only felt that his headache was about to explode, and the arm supporting his body was very sore. He couldn't remember anything that happened after the spelling was over, and he only felt that his mind was blank.
When did he go to bed to sleep, I don't know...
How long did he sleep this time, I don't know...
The sequelae of staying up all night were more serious than expected. Not to mention the weakness of the whole body, the tightness in the chest and the loss of appetite, even the speed of thinking slowed down, and there was a tingling pain when the head shook slightly.
Last night it wasn't so serious, so Tang An felt that it was not only the sequelae of staying up all night, but he was probably sick.
It turns out that mermaids can also get sick, and he really doesn't know anything about himself, as if he really doesn't know anything about himself except that he can change back into a fish tail as he wishes.
But it can't be all his fault, there are really no other mermaids to teach him these things.
Sometimes he also felt confused, why he woke up alone in the sea, and who gave birth to this body, did this mermaid body have no parents, and where did his people go?
If he was born of another mermaid, maybe he can find his own kind in the future.
However, what if this life was just fabricated by God in order to resurrect him?
Then in this world, maybe there really won't be a second mermaid.
Thinking of this, Tang An suddenly felt a little depressed, but there was nothing he could do about it. It was God's greatest mercy that he could continue to live in this world.
With a splitting headache, he didn't want to worry anymore, so he simply diverted his attention and recalled the previous things.
He tried hard to recall the memory after turning off the computer, but after thinking about it for a while, he still couldn't remember it at all. He seemed to have lost a memory suddenly.
Could it be that I was too sleepy at the time, so I ran to the bed and fell asleep in a daze, and I don't know how long I slept.
At this time, Tang An had completely forgotten that he once pestered a man and cried like a child on his body.
And he didn't realize that he had been changed.
It can't be blamed that he didn't notice it at all. In fact, the shirts in the closet were all of the same style, and even if there were differences, it was only a slight difference. Tang An, who had always been careless, couldn't tell the difference even after wearing it several times.
However, the content of that surveillance video was preserved by the man after he returned, and it became ironclad evidence to accuse him of molesting him in the future. Of course, these are all things to come.
If I really want to say the benefits brought by this all-night stay, Tang An finally completed the number of words required for the recommended position, uploaded all the saved manuscripts to Penguin's collection with sleepiness, and shut down the computer after clearing the traces.
When he recovers later, he will download the manuscript again to catch bugs, divide it into chapters reasonably and save it in the manuscript box of the website, and then he won't have to worry about being blacklisted anymore.
Now the big stone in my heart finally fell.
Probably relieved, Tang An soon began to feel sleepy again, collapsed on the bed and continued to catch up on sleep. Staying up all night really hurt his body, and he probably couldn't lift his spirits these two days.
Tang An was woken up by the noise coming from the door.
When he was in a drowsy sleep, when he heard a strange noise coming from the door, as if someone was about to open the door to come in, he was so frightened that he woke up from the dream instantly.
He jumped up from the bed and wanted to escape, but seeing the mess of the bed, he could only turn around and tidy up, and ran to the side window on the first floor, ready to escape through the window at any time.
However, it didn't take long for the movement to disappear.
His keen hearing told him that there was no one outside the door, but Tang An still cautiously spent a long time before poking his head out of the window to have a look, then went out and walked to the door.
In front of the high gate of the villa, there was originally a courier box, but now there is a small box, and the transparent tape that seals the box can be vaguely seen, as if there are snack bags inside the box.
Why is it a courier again? Who sent these things? It looks like something for children. Is it true that the owner of the villa is planning to come and live here, and he also brought the children with him?
Tang An's heart was full of melancholy, it seemed that the speed of finding a house had to be increased, otherwise he would really have to go back to live in the sea, which was the last result he wanted.
……
After all, the day of placing a recommendation position is coming. Tang An has gained [-] hits and [-] hits, and he has risen from that unremarkable position. His growth rate is not the best in the same period, but it is not the fastest either. Poor, barely maintained at the middle level.
However, this level is far from enough, so it is conceivable that he was vacated immediately after he finished it, and another book took his place, and his book has been submerged in the vast sea of books, and it is difficult for anyone to find it again.
Looking at the stranger who took his place, Tang An was filled with melancholy, but fortunately he was not on the blacklist, as long as he was not on the blacklist, he would still have a chance next week.
At least the recommendation this time gave him a general idea of his own level, which is actually quite a bit worse than him, but he still has room for improvement, and then he discovered the shortcomings of his own plot, and the next plot may be changed again. If you change it, you will get better results in the future.
Tang An is not a particularly rigid person, unlike some authors who are desperate to dig into the horns, he will judge what the readers like based on the direction of the comments, see what they expect from him, and then work hard in that direction.
The number of words written recently is a bit too much, and his condition is getting better and better, and he can even catch some signs. Maybe if he works hard this week, he will have his place next week.
He secretly poked and looked forward to it, and clicked the "Apply for Recommendation" button again, and saw that it changed to "Applied", and moved the mouse in his hand to close the webpage.
Tang An felt a lot more relaxed after breaking away from the recommended number of words. Now, as long as he keeps daily updates every day, he suddenly relaxes after being nervous for several days, but he is not used to it.
The group is also discussing the recommended position. Daoguang Jianying got a good recommended position this week just like he said last time. Sure enough, the editor didn't give it to him last week because he wanted to leave a good one here. a week.
Tang An was also very happy for him, silently looking forward to envy, hoping that one day he would be able to get such a good recommendation.
In short, he has already decided that no matter whether he has money or not, even if he saves a lot of money by selling fish, he doesn't have to worry about living, and writing is still a lifetime thing.
He loves to write, and even if this matter is changed to another shell, it is impossible to change it.
……
In the huge villa room, the man who just took a shower looked at the teenager in the surveillance, and saw that he was not sitting in front of the computer, but was reading on the sofa with a book.
With his super memory, Shang Linyi recognized that it was one of the books on his bookshelf, and it was one of the only books in the row of heavy books that did not belong to business.
When he was still studying a few years ago, he went there for a while during the summer vacation. Those books were bought at that time. He read books faster than ordinary people, and he finished them all in a short time.
As for the few other books, he felt that the bookshelf was too monotonous and bought them as spices. Presumably the young man must have stared at the bookshelf for a long time after he found this book.
Still, if it's not about business, it's definitely not recreational, and remains obscure to the average person.
But now, the boy was holding that book in his hands, flipping through page after page with relish.
There are two layers of curtains in the villa. The one next to the window glass is a layer of white tulle curtains, and the other is a layer of very high-density fabric curtains. When the two layers are fully closed, there is no light at all from the outside. It is said that where the rich live, even the quality of the curtains is very good.
The boy has become more courageous recently, and dared to turn on the small wall lamp secretly, so the man can see his appearance clearly.
Under the dim yellow light, a thin and thin figure curled up on the sofa, reading the content with relish. He was still wearing a large snow-white shirt, and his head with short silver curly hair was tilted slightly, leaning against the soft edge of the sofa On the top, the too cold white fingers added a bit of blood under the dim light, holding a thick hardcover book and flipping through it.
This position was maintained for a while, probably because he was tired of looking at it like this, so he lay down on the sofa to look through it instead, leaving only the hairy back of the man's head.
However, from this angle, the man could just see what he was reading. His round fingertips slid across the text, casting a shadow on the dim pages of the book. Occasionally, the fingertips stopped moving, as if thinking about something, but It didn't take long to continue looking down.
Although I read this book a long time ago, when the man saw the words on it again, he could still construct the memories and insights of that time in his mind.
He just watched quietly like this, and he didn't know how long the time had passed, and he didn't feel bored.
At this moment, he seemed to be sitting next to the young man, turning the next page with him, reading the text on it together, and the breath of the two merged together.
It's a wonderful feeling, just like that day in the library.
When the teenager sees a plot he particularly likes, he can't wait to turn his head and share the unique insights in his heart with him without reservation, and his light blue eyes are shining brightly.
Maybe there are some sayings in it, which are too superficial for a man to understand, but this does not prevent him from having an inexplicable emotion flowing in his heart, which is an emotion so strange that he cannot understand it.
But he doesn't hate it.
Tang An flipped through the book in his hand. In fact, the content inside was not very understandable. This was not the type he liked to read in the past, but now that he picked it up and read it, he didn't find out why, so he wouldn't take the book lightly. Put it back.
Yes, he is such a stubborn person.
He can be very free with some things, but only for reading books, he has always been willing to delve into it, eager to get more knowledge, and wants to understand more things through words.
If he had studied all the way back then, according to his desire for knowledge, he might have been able to get into a good university, but it's a pity that fate loves to play tricks on people.
A few years of depression has already changed everything. He has long forgotten many knowledge points, and now he can't go back to everything. He can only tell himself to look forward, at least he is still alive.
That night, Tang An just lay on the sofa reading a book, and accidentally fell asleep while watching.
When I woke up the next day, my waist was sore and my back was sore. I jumped into the pool and swam for a while before my stiff and painful body was relieved. The mermaid's recovery ability is still good.
While it was still early, he sneaked into the sea to catch some fish to sell, and made a lot of money this morning.
When all the fish in the bucket were sold out, Tang An took the money he had earned in the past few days and embarked on the journey of looking for a rental house again. This time, he planned to visit another place. According to the Internet, there are quite a lot of houses for rent nearby. , hoping to find a place that is willing to take him in.
……
In the southern coastal city in June, many people had already changed into summer clothes, especially these two days were extremely hot, and it was estimated that there would be a heavy rainstorm in a few days, but before the rainstorm came, Tang An said that he was going crazy from the heat.
In order not to be dried into fish by the scorching sun, he went to the supermarket to buy an umbrella shortly after he came out. However, at noon, the black parasol above his head was useless, because more heat came from the scalding It came from the ground, and it was so hot that it made people dizzy.
"Young man, are you okay?" The old man at the roadside stall saw the young man leaning against the wall with a pale face, shaking his fingers holding the umbrella handle, as if he was about to pass out, "It's been so hot these two days, you Could it be heat stroke?"
"It's okay..." In fact, looking at the road in front of him that was blurred by heat, his brain has long been covered with heat, and his skin is so dry that it hurts. Now he just wants to soak himself in the sea water, and it's best not to come out today. up.
"Why don't you come over and rest for a while, it's quite cool under this tree." The uncle continued to say kindly.
Tang An looked under the shade of the tree and stood there for a moment, hesitating for a moment. Finally, he couldn't resist the uncomfortable burning sensation on his body. He followed his words and walked under the tree. He sat down on the stone steps around the root of the tree, feeling the breeze blow Bring a little coolness.
"Are you a foreigner?" The uncle stared at his silver curly hair and his pair of light blue eyes. Such features can only appear on foreigners, and although the boy's fair and beautiful face is biased towards Chinese, it still has With a little mixed-race taste.
Tang An just smiled and didn't directly deny it.
"Mandarin is really good, do you want to eat mangoes?" The uncle said, stuffing the ripe mangoes with a sweet smell into his arms, and he would not allow him to refuse. For such a beautiful baby, it is a person who looks at it in his heart Everyone has a good impression.
"It's really not easy to start a small business these days. It's so cold here in winter, and it's so hot in summer. It's just starting to get hot, and it will be difficult in the next few months..." The uncle chatted to himself like this .
"Recently, the streets are under strict control. My son told me not to do it, but how can I be willing to do it for decades? I used to do it in District C, but now I am not allowed to set up a stall, so I moved to District E. Probably won’t be able to do it anytime soon.”
City Z’s construction inspections are getting stricter and stricter. Many vendors that used to be flooded have disappeared, and the rest may not be able to continue to do business soon. Many children have grown up and retired, and those who want to earn money can only do so. To rent a storefront, those who can't afford it can only change careers or go back to the countryside.
Tang An has stayed in Z City for the past few years, and he has also been deeply touched by the changes in the city. When he first came here, there were many dropout students around him. How can anyone dare to recruit such young workers now? Those who are not old enough can only carry luggage go home.
Children of that age, before they can make money by themselves, should sit in the classroom with textbooks and make more capital for their future society. Most of them have no way out like him.
Tang An was deeply moved. He knew that the country was getting better and better, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. The society was constantly improving. For example, the probability of committing a crime had decreased a lot in the past two years.
However, this increasingly strict system has made him suffer a lot now.
"Master, do you know where you can rent a house nearby?" Tang An asked with a yellow mango in his hand, not in a hurry to peel and eat it.
"There are quite a lot of them around here. The house prices and rents near the city center are too expensive. Everyone flocks to this area. You can see that the area in front is full of..." The uncle said so much that his spit was flying, and he talked for a long time. A lot of introductions, those who don't know think he is selling accommodation.
It's just a pity that Tang An has checked all these on the Internet, and the conditions for moving in must also bring an ID card. This is to protect the lives and property of other tenants. In short, there is no ID card these days. It is "difficult to move an inch".
After eating a sweet mango, Tang An's throat was not as dry as before, and he regained some strength and continued to walk forward, holding a black parasol with one hand, and wiping the thin sweat that gushed out again with the other hand.
He plans to continue walking for a while, and stop here if he can't find it today. The weather is obviously not suitable for walking outside. If he can't hold on and faints and turns back into a mermaid, it will definitely be the biggest fish in his life. disaster.
Facing the scorching sun on his head, the hot-faced boy continued to walk forward with an umbrella, and passed through several huge streets. The heat came up through the soles of his shoes and almost burned his feet. The mermaid's body is more afraid of heat than humans. He had already experienced this deeply before.
For ordinary people, this kind of weather is just the beginning of summer, but to him, it is really like being in a steam oven, so his mind began to become unconscious again as he walked, and even his footsteps became more and more slow. slower.
Tang An shook his drowsy head. He saw the signboard of a rental house on the opposite side of the road. It seemed that he hadn't seen it on the Internet, and he was overjoyed.
Who knew that just as he was about to take a step, there was an unbearable stabbing pain in his head, the picture in front of him suddenly turned white, and his body lost his center of gravity and fell to the side.
Before losing consciousness, Tang An was thankful that he hadn't stepped out of the road, otherwise he might be run over by a car again.
In the past two lifetimes, being with Damalu can be regarded as a great bond
