"Xiao Hai, this year's weather is really a bit abnormal." The neighbor, Professor Wang, who lives upstairs with Hai Ruo and Dong Dong, is an old man who teaches philosophy. "Tell you, this winter, the snow didn't fall much, how many games are there?"
"Well, just three light snows." Holding the shopping bag in his hand, Hai Ruo recalled a little and came to a conclusion.
"Yes, yes, you see, there are only three light snows, and the fields are too dry in spring. This summer has just come, rainstorms are falling one by one, and typhoons are blowing one after another. A few days ago At noon, it’s dark and scary.” Professor Wang is a typical southerner, and he couldn’t change his accent in the north for decades. Hai Ruo’s mother was a girl from a water town in the south of the Yangtze River. When I went to my grandmother's house and listened to Wu Nong's soft words about you coming and going in the quaint town, Hai Ruo was lying at the back window of my grandmother's small building, watching the Wu Peng boat row through the waves.
"Yes." She was brought out of her childhood memories, and even her words were mixed with sweetness, "Where did it rain so much a few years ago, it's very strange."
"That's right," Professor Wang's "yes" were pronounced "si". "From a philosophical point of view, this is a question of universal connection, Xiaohai, look..."
Walking behind them, Dongdong carefully avoided the puddles on the ground, looked at Professor Wang Balabala's materialism with a little speechlessness, and glanced at Hai Ruo, who listened carefully and echoed from time to time... The owner of his house is really kind-hearted. .
After getting out of the elevator, he said goodbye to Professor Wang in a friendly way. Seeing that he had not said enough, Dongdong immediately meowed and made a look as if he was eager to go home. Hai Ruo had to bow to Professor Wang apologetically. , out of the elevator.
Watching the elevator door close, she opened the door and sighed slightly - although she thought it was interesting to talk to him, Professor Wang was still too "talkative". Looking back at Dongdong's cute appearance squatting at the door, "Little clever ghost." She scratched his nose affectionately, "Come in, it's so hot outside."
"Meow." It was almost time to take a bath, and it was too hot again today, so even Dongdong only resisted in a symbolic way, so he obediently took a shower.
"Do you think Professor Wang is a little too talkative?" Hai Ruo said while applying shampoo to Dongdong, as if she was talking to herself. In fact, she and Dongdong have always communicated in this way. She knew that Dongdong would meet. Listening to what she said, although she wasn't sure if he could understand it, she always talked to Dongdong about everything.
"I feel a little bit too, but when I think of him coming all the way up to see me and grabbing a bag from me and carrying it just so that I can talk to someone, I can't bear it at all." Hai Ruo picked up the nozzle and gave it to Dongdong pointed, Dongdong stretched comfortably.
"Look, last year his son went abroad for high school, and his wife went to study with him, and he was the only one left in the family... I can't bear to think about it," Hai Ruo thought of going somewhere else. "Speaking of which, I haven't seen my aunt for several months. How about inviting her to stay here for a few days."
"Mum." The woman acted neatly, was not clingy, and had no opinion.
"Well, with you, our family is a small reunion, how about taking a family photo." Hai Ruo remembered this, "The last family photo was taken when my parents were there."
Dongdong noticed her shaking, crawled out of the bathtub, and asked to be air-dried.
When he came to Hai Ruo's house for a little over three years, Chu Chengyu had "find out" the situation of the Hai family. Hai Ruo was a daughter who was born when her parents were not confused. Her mother was a little guilty when she gave birth to her, and she loved her very much. Her father used to be a soldier. After retiring from the army, he entered the police academy to teach. The university where her mother taught was just across the street. She met each other by chance, and got married after falling in love.
Hai Ruo's mother is a well-known historian in China, and Hai Ruo's choice of ancient literature as her major can be regarded as a family heritage. Her father is tough but not spoiled, and her mother is gentle but not spoiled. Apart from the fact that Hai Ruo's growth seems to be a congenital lack The question of love, the string, is simply plain sailing.
Until Hai Ruo was 24 years old, she had just graduated from graduate school and her doctoral application was almost completed. It was a good time to be in high spirits, but bad news came that her parents both died in a plane crash.
It was also fortunate that her aunt was always with her at that low point, and after Dongdong came, Hai Ruo completely regained her former vitality and happiness.
If Hai Ruo's past could be regarded as a turbulent bitan, then in comparison, Chu Chengyu's memory could only be an obscure pool of stagnant water.
His parents are still alive if there is no accident, but after he was seven or eight years old, he hardly saw them.
Their marriage was a complete mistake from the start, and he was at the center of that mistake.
Who would have known that after just an ordinary night of confusion, two people who had never intertwined made such a dead knot that could not be separated, especially, the center of the knot was him, Chu Chengyu.
His mother is everyone's young lady, the person he likes is married, and the old-fashioned toasting to drown his sorrows. After getting drunk, he inexplicably lingered all night with a man he didn't know - it sounds like the beginning of a romance, but it's reality The general ending of Revelation.
She was pregnant, and she couldn't get rid of the child due to her frailty, so she had no choice but to find the child's father and reluctantly build a family. When Chu Chengyu was five years old, his mother finally found her love, and Chu Chengyu's father completely ignored him except for eating, drinking and having fun with his mother's money.
His mother once asked if he wanted to go abroad with her, Chu Chengyu shook his head, not to mention how embarrassing it would be to be inserted into her upcoming happy family, he himself didn't feel close to his mother who didn't see each other several times a year.
Not only that, but he also quickly left his biological father. From the age of seven or eight, he took some food and clothing from his mother and began to learn to live by himself.
Over the years, he has lived by himself. He used to think he was living a good life.
Moreover, his life was not without warmth. When he was ignored, the neighbor eldest brother once patted him on the shoulder to encourage him. When he was empty all day, the aunt upstairs took him to the house for dinner, and his teacher in junior high school , after getting to know his family situation, I will talk to him every once in a while and communicate.
But he still became such a person. Since college, his height began to jump to 1.85 meters, and his facial features gradually became sharper. When a girl confessed to him, he was ignored without exception. He was almost indifferent. indifferent.
In fact, his heart yearned for this kind of feeling, but another kind of uncertainty and fear of love suppressed this longing.
Chu Chengyu knew that this was his own problem.
I yearn for warmth, but I am afraid that the warmth will never be my own, so I will never reach out to touch it.
Until the end of his life as a human being, he was taken care of, cared for carefully, and cared for with all his heart.
Until he passively threw himself into this whole piece of warm sun, if he was not careful, he was already deeply immersed and unable to escape.
For him, this is the only solution to the equation.
Aunt Hairuo arrived the next day. As usual, she drove her arrogant red Maserati, packed a few clothes and came here. When she came this time, her burgundy wavy curls were cut to The ears are still very fashionable, and even more queen-like.
"Why has my aunt lost a lot of weight recently?" Hai Ruo rarely wanted to go out to eat, so she called and ordered a western restaurant, "Are you losing weight?"
"That's right." Aunt casually flipped through the manuscripts that Hai Ruo was sorting out recently, and answered indifferently. "By the way, has there been any progress in your love life recently?"
"puff."
This is not Hai Ruo, but Dong Dong who is drinking water. But if there is liquid in Hai Ruo's mouth, it might be more exaggerated than Dong Dong.
"Aunt, don't you know..."
"I know you're asexual." Hai Xiang rolled his eyes, "But people often change, you love me, I love him, and in the end, I love you again. From nothing, the most interesting thing in life is not Is it here."
"But... I really don't care about anyone." He never thought that his aunt would say this, and Hai Ruo rubbed his temples with a headache.
"Where's the black cat?" Hai Xiang glanced at Dong Dong, he felt as if a knife had slashed him once.
"Dongdong's words, yes." Hai Ruo was serious, "Dongdong and aunt are both important family members."
"You little bastard." Hai Xiang gritted his teeth a bit, "I've been in love a few times, anyway, do you want to live with this cat until old age?"
"How many years can this cat stay with you, um, he died, can you get another one?" Hai Xiang was very emotional today for some reason.
"No." Hai Ruo shook his head firmly, "There is no one who can replace Dongdong, cats too, people too, no one except Dongdong."
Hearing this, Dongdong couldn't make a sound.
He had always known that he was important in Hai Ruo's heart, but he said it so openly, no matter how many times he listened to it, he still felt the same way. It was an unspeakable happiness and excitement that made him want to rush to the A roar from any high place, tearing your throat is also refreshing.
"Also," Hai Ruo rubbed over and acted coquettishly, "Isn't there an aunt?"
"You have learned from this little thing." Hai Xiang took a deep look at Hai Ruohua's smile and sighed lightly.
small theater:
Take family photos.
The photographer has taken many family photos, but has never seen such a family.
There are only two people in the family. No, there are only three members of the family, a lady who still looks young and her skin is well maintained, her niece who can't tell her age and a dark cat.
They wore formal gauze dresses, as if they were attending a noble banquet, and even the black cat had a small pure white bow tied around its neck.
The photographer felt that this was the strangest family portrait he had ever taken, but it seemed quite happy. In particular, he snapped a photo:
While the older lady was putting on makeup, a gentle woman in a white gauze skirt sat on a low stool, white lace spread all over the floor, the black cat's fur was like a tuxedo at this time, and the white bow was straight. tied around the neck. The black cat raised its front paws as if to invite the beautiful lady in front of him to a dance, and the other party also reached out and accepted his invitation.
Freeze at the moment your fingertips touch.
Later, the photographer won the gold medal of the photography exhibition with this photo, and started his brilliant career.
Then what happened to the one person and one cat
Every time he sees someone dancing in pairs, he thinks about it.
