"With the Spring Festival approaching, it's really hard to book air tickets." Shen Changan opened the ticketing platform and whispered on the sofa, "Even the most expensive high-end warehouse has no tickets."
"Sir, I'm flying very fast, you sit on my back, and I only need to flap a few wings to reach the imperial capital." The three-headed little phoenix hurriedly approached, and his big black eyes blinked. "This saves a lot of money on airfare."
"I don't hire child labor." Shen Changan pinched the little phoenix's chubby cheek, "This is the end of the matter, we can only take the special plane for the New Year, and hope that the route can be applied for before the Spring Festival."
"Oh." Little Phoenix lowered his head angrily. This was the countless times he had failed to apply for a post.
It's all to blame that human beings have invented so many communication tools. The adults always say that living in the human world must live in the way of the human world, which makes him useless.
"It's rare to go back to Wuming City once, so you have fun at home." Shen Changan patted Xiao Fenghuang's head, "I have something to go out, so I have a good meal at home at noon, and don't be picky eaters."
Little Phoenix: "..."
The picky eating habits of the Phoenix Clan are already well known, so it would be too embarrassing for him not to be picky eaters, right
"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on him." Daonian closed the book in his hand, "Go early and come back early, and I'll ask Lao Zhao to cook something delicious for you in the evening."
"Okay." Shen Changan took the opportunity to kiss Daonian's cheek a few times and walked out of the house.
It has been nearly five years since she left Wuming City. Chen Panpan has married her boyfriend and settled in the imperial capital. Ding Yang was transferred to the provincial capital and became the deputy director of the civil service department of the provincial capital. In the service department, Xu Ze and his lover Yiyi.
Five years ago, when he had dinner with Daonian, he learned that Xu Ze had a girlfriend named Yiyi, and she was also a disciple of Xuanmen. Regardless of whether Xu Ze knew her status as a disciple of Xuanmen, the relationship between the two over the years has been good.
Goodbye Xu Ze, he looks much more mature and stable than before. Instead of going to a high-end restaurant, the two went to the fish hotpot restaurant they liked the most, drinking drinks around a small table, while talking about the trivial things over the years little things.
The steaming hot mist of the fish hotpot made Xu Ze's cheeks redden.
After a few cups of hot drinks, Xu Ze let go. He sighed: "I always thought that you are not an ordinary person. It turns out that my guess is not wrong."
"Maybe it's because excellent people radiate wisdom wherever they go?" Shen Changan joked, "I didn't expect that the last person to stay in Wuming City would be you."
Xu Ze lowered his head, and the water mist blurred his glasses: "There is always someone here. Yiyi is now the director of the Civil Service Department. As a husband, of course I want a wife to accompany her."
Shen Changan looked at Xu Ze and suddenly said, "Can you see other things with your eyes?"
Xu Ze paused, he looked up at Shen Chang'an in amazement, and the bottom of the pot made a gurgling sound during the cooking of the fire. After a long time, Xu Ze smiled and said, "What do you mean?"
When he was very young, he could see things that others couldn't, and when he told his parents excitedly, what was waiting was not praise, but their horror. Gradually, he learned to cover up, and later he heard his mother talk about the past that he could see dirty things when he was a child, but he couldn't see it later, and he just smiled.
Some people always like to say that children have very clean eyes and can see things that adults can't, but after the age of twelve, they can't.
Maybe some children really can't see, and some children just pretend to be invisible.
This secret has been hidden in Xu Ze's heart for a long time, too long to tell anyone. After being with Yiyi, he realized that he was not a strange person, because Yiyi could also see those hazy strange shadows.
Now that Shen Changan suddenly mentioned it, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. Over the years, because of this secret, he has kept a distance from others. After being asked by Shen Changan, he had the urge to reveal the secret that had been hidden for a long time and wanted to talk about it.
"I used to be very obvious?" He remembered that when he was working with Shen Changan, the most common thing they did was to publicize with the community residents not to be feudal and superstitious, to go to the doctor if they were sick, and to seek help from the police if they had any problems. Ask God to worship Buddha.
Shen Changan shook his head: "No, it's just that I have good eyes. Actually, I can see it too."
Xu Ze stared blankly at Shen Changan: "Really?"
Shen Changan smiled: "I seem to be someone who can make jokes about this kind of thing? Actually, it's not just me, but also Director Du and Aunt Juan. I didn't tell you at that time, for fear of affecting your worldview. I can still discuss it with you."
Xu Ze raised his head and glanced at Shen Changan. The former Shen Changan didn't know that he could see ghosts, but after a few years, he could see it. In the past few years... what happened to him
"How are you and... your lover all these years?" Xu Ze didn't want to admit that he couldn't remember the name of Shen Changan's lover with such a smart brain.
"Very good." Shen Changan nodded, "I have eaten all over the world."
"After running so many places, I didn't see you getting fat and getting old. Instead, you don't look any different from five years ago." Xu Ze sighed, "Sure enough, eating, drinking, and having fun is the most difficult thing to get old."
"Yeah, the days of eating soft rice are really happy." Shen Changan said cheekily, "I can understand how it is easy to change from simplicity to luxury."
Stunned by Shen Changan's straightforward brazenness, Xu Ze took a long time to speak: "Have not seen you for a few years, you have not only become lazy, but also thick-skinned."
On Shen Changan's face, Xu Ze can't see the traces of time. He and Shen Changan are like people from two worlds. Although they intersect, they can't really enter his world. This kind of feeling is like Shen Changan was sick that year. He went to visit with his colleagues and walked in that mysterious community. He always felt that there were secrets hidden in the lush woods that he could not see.
When they were about to part, Xu Ze asked, "Next time, when will you come back?"
He always felt that he should ask, he was afraid that if he didn't ask, Shen Changan would forget to come back.
"It will be very soon." Shen Changan replied.
Xu Ze didn't know that Shen Changan's speed was a little different from what he imagined.
"Then... see you next time." He watched Shen Changan walk out of the Lengguo Fish Shop. There was a man in a gray trench coat standing quietly on the corner of the street. Seeing him coming out with Shen Changan, he nodded to him.
That was Shen Changan's boyfriend.
Seeing Shen Changan walking through the cold street and running towards the man quickly, Xu Ze knew that he should not go forward. He stopped and returned a polite smile to the man.
"Xu Ze, goodbye." He looked at Shen Changan on the street and waved at him with a smile. The man in a trench coat put a towel around Shen Changan's neck.
Wuming City has not had snow for five years. Shen Changan came back this year and encountered the first snow in five years.
"Goodbye." He said with a smile, put his hands in his coat pockets, and watched the two of them walk away before slowly turning around and walking back.
When he got home, Xu Ze found that his unhappy cousin was also in his own home: "Xu Jiang, I heard that you are making a fuss about becoming a monk, making your parents angry?"
"It's great to be a Taoist priest, you don't have to be urged to marry by relatives, cultivate your personality, and cultivate your sentiments." Xu Jiang just graduated from college a few months ago, and he didn't want to go back to work in his own company, but wanted to practice Taoism.
"That's right, sister-in-law." Xu Jiang looked at his sister-in-law who was sitting on the sofa peeling and eating oranges.
Yiyi glanced at the unlucky bear boy, got up and took out a watch from the cabinet and handed it to Xu Jiang.
"What is this?" Xu Jiang took the table and glanced at it curiously, only to see the subjects of the postgraduate Taoism examination, "I can understand the philosophy and "Book of Changes" examination, why should I take the chemistry and medical foundation examinations with English?"
"Because Taoism also needs to be in line with international standards, how do you make talismans if you don't know how to draw? If you don't know the basics of medicine, how do you concoct pills?" In two or three years, you will be admitted.”
Xu Jiang: "…"
Does the scumbag even have the qualifications to be a Taoist priest
He put down the exam subject list angrily, and said with a dry smile: "I think it would be good to go to work at home and company first, and have some experience."
After speaking, Xu Jiang stood up and said, "Brother, sister-in-law, you have a good rest, I will not disturb you." After speaking, he walked out of Xu Ze's house.
"This bear boy..." Xu Ze shook his head helplessly, "He's in his early twenties, and he's still so unstable, but he's very lucky. He performed exceptionally well in the college entrance examination, and he hasn't failed a course in college. I really don't know what his fate is. "
"Maybe it's because of doing a good deed and being blessed for a lifetime." Yiyi patted the top of his head, like coaxing a child: "Come on, don't be unhappy, take a mop and do something to make yourself happy?"
Xu Ze: "..."
Do not! Mopping the floor doesn't make me any happier!
After Xu Jiang came out of his cousin's community, he remembered that he forgot to wear a scarf, there were snowflakes outside, and it was still a little cold. He shrank his neck, somewhat regretting that he didn't drive out today, so he shivered and took out his mobile phone to see if he could make an appointment with a car.
"Young man, is it cold?" An old lady came over and gave him a hand warmer, her voice very kind, "It's cold outside, go home early."
A young man was suddenly stuffed with a hand warmer by the old lady. Xu Jiang couldn't react, but his hands were really warm.
He looked at the old lady, and the old man who walked with the old lady with a kind smile as well. It took him a long time to react, and he said quickly, "No, no."
The old lady kindly gave it, but he didn't have the face to ask for it.
"It's alright, take it." The old lady pressed the hand that pushed him away. Xu Jiang was ashamed to find that he was not as strong as an old lady.
Had the comfortable college life corrupted him
"Goodbye." At the moment when he shook his head, the old man and the old lady had walked out of a distance together. He stared at the old lady's back blankly. Has he seen her somewhere
Back in the community, he saw his mother was chatting with a few aunts. He shrank his neck and slowly avoided their sight.
"Is it really useful to worship the bedside man and bedside wife?"
"It's useful. My neighbor's distant relative has a child who always has night terrors. He went to the hospital for a check-up, and he didn't lack any nutrition. Later, he went to pay homage to the bedside man and bedside wife. That night, the child could sleep peacefully. already."
"So amazing..."
"That's not it."
Bedside man, bedside woman
Xu Jiang thought that for the sake of children to thrive, adults must grasp with both hands and be hard on belief in science.
Poor parents in the world.
