MTL - Gifting You With A City that Will Never Be Isolated-Chapter 25
"Is philosophy and love contradictory?" On the car back, Bai Ziren asked Cheng Jingbo.
"No, feeling itself is the object of philosophy."
"Can it be studied by research?"
"There is still feeling." He taught her slowly.
If Bai Ziren is thoughtful, she asks this because she thinks that most philosophers in history are single. It seems to give people an illusion. People who are too smart do not need love, as Socrates said. My wife is thinking about life more clearly, nothing more.
So, will he always be influenced by the ideas of those who have been dealing with philosophy?
Thinking of this, she gave him a sneak peek.
He guessed what she was worried about: "Don't worry, I won't choose to fall in love with Plato."
"..."
"I am an ordinary man, not interested in being a saint."
Bai Ziren was cramped and simply sighed and said clearly.
He freed a hand and gently touched her hair: "Come a little, don't get too close to the window."
She sat slyly, his hand fell, and she took her hand on her leg.
"You are driving." She reminded him.
"Well, just for a while."
She knows that he is doing things, and he doesn't talk much. He looks at his hand. She likes his hand very much. The back of the hand is clean, the fingers are slender, the bones are good, the palm is warm, and it is important to hold her hand. There is power.
That being said, he still took a long time to slowly release.
Before she got off the bus, he helped her organize the scarf on her neck. Her heart was warm and she couldn’t help but confide her heart: "I think you always treat me as a child."
"How to say?"
"It’s like buying snacks for me, reminding me to pay attention to the traffic lights when I cross the road, oh, I have a good meal, and now.”
"So, I am more like a big brother with a sense of responsibility?" He remembered what she said to her partner.
Bai Ziren defaults, thinking that if there is such a big brother is really good.
"You can be my big brother, but don't forget that I am also your boyfriend."
Although the relationship has been established and entered the early stages of love, considering that she is a novice and needs an adaptation period, he allows her to spend some time to better understand this.
When the boyfriend's three words fell in the ear of Bai Ziren, she had a little dreamy addition to the heartbeat.
It is true, but because the gift is too precious, I dare not put it directly into my pocket, and I still look at it.
"Do you know?" he asked.
"Well, I won't forget it." She decided to be confident now.
"Reassure, I won't let you forget this fact." He bent his knuckles and licked her forehead.
For a moment, his close-knit face made her want to get closer, but after thinking about it, they just started. As a beginner of love, she should step by step and avoid mistakes, so she restrained. I want to kiss the idea of his cheek.
He seemed to wait for a little while, seeing her without any expression, his eyes still clean and clear like the sky of May, smiled faintly.
If she likes it, there is nothing wrong with her brother for the time being. Anyway, she will be with her. After a long time, she will understand that Big Brother and her boyfriend have some similar places, but there is a fundamental difference.
Now, she likes how to come.
She is also alone, spending more time on her, he is willing.
"Goodbye." She reluctantly said goodbye.
"Goodbye."
Bai Ziren came home, Liu Xinyu was taking a bath on Muzidong on the second floor. Uncle Mu accompanied him to play chess in the north. When she saw her back, she smiled and said: "Xiaoren, have you eaten? The kitchen still has a hot pot. Yam ribs soup, wait until you are hungry to eat."
"Okay." She sent a text message to her mother in the afternoon, saying that dinner was eaten outside, without waiting for her.
Muzibei’s big eyes whispered quietly, holding a round piece in his hand, as if thinking about important issues.
When Bai Ziren just returned to the room, Mu Zibei pushed in the door and handed her a big apple. He asked, "Are you dating my future brother-in-law?"
How did Bai Ziren hold it, how was this little guy aware? Does he have a perspective?
"You didn't like to look in the mirror before. It has changed recently. You still wear a beautiful dress. It is obviously a love. Mom and Dad are too stupid. I don't even see it."
Bai Ziren hesitated for a while, nodded and admitted, and asked him not to say it.
"Don't worry, I won't tell them, but you really don't want to reveal who my future brother-in-law is? I want to know." Muzi's eyes flashed brightly, brighter than the small light bulbs.
"Tell you later."
“Do you still have to keep secret to me?”
"No, because I just started, I don't know what to say."
Mu Zibei is reluctant to nod. "Okay, I understand, you have to cheer."
Bai Ziren smiled.
Muzibei did not hurry to go, but instead relied on her sister's sofa chair, and turned a circle leisurely.
"I also met a girl recently."
Bai Ziren thought that he had got it wrong.
"I know it at the training center. She is in the sixth grade and knows a lot. I like to chat with her." When it comes to this, Muzibei jumps out of the chair, so he keeps his distance with his sister seriously. "Since you refuse to tell Who am my future brother-in-law, I will not talk to you more."
After that, he waved his hand and walked out of the room. After a few seconds, he turned back and lost his words to his sister: "When you are willing to say it, I will tell you again."
Bai Ziren scratched his head and thought about how big the child was.
In the blink of an eye, on New Year's Eve, as in previous years, Uncle Mu took his wife and two sons to go home to eat. Inconvenient to go to the Bai Ziren alone to stay at home, as compensation, Uncle Mu bought a pile of food in advance and filled the refrigerator. Also ordered a fruit cake as a gift to Bai Ziren, Bai Ziren did not mind at all, she went to the embarrassed, facing so many strangers, do not know what to say, rather than that, it is better than a person.
Before leaving, Mu Zibei asked Dad: "Is my sister not going this year?"
Uncle Mu patted his son's shoulder: "Let's go back early and come back to accompany my sister."
Liu Xin’s words on the side were silent, and I couldn’t bear to look at my daughter. Every year, she is eating alone, which makes people feel distressed, but there is no way. As a mother’s daughter-in-law and mother of two sons, she must Going to Mujia to celebrate the New Year.
"Mom, goodbye." Bai Ziren saw the emotions in his mother's eyes and said goodbye first.
"Yeah." Liu Xinyu finally overslept.
As soon as I arrived at Mujia, everyone gave a red envelope to Muzidong and Muzibei. Compared to Muzidong, I would only say thank you. Muzibei’s vocabulary is rich in words, and it’s just a tongue, and everyone’s face. They all laughed and opened the flowers. Someone joked that we can talk about comics after Xiaobei. Muzi raised his eyebrows and said that I didn’t want it. I want to be a scientist.
Uncle Mu is in a very good mood. Say hello to each relative. When chatting, I don’t want to mention Bai Ziren. I said that our family is now studying for graduate students. The Chinese New Year is twenty-four. Please help us to see if there are suitable young talents. I thank you first.
Liu Xinyu smiled at the side and thanked her husband for her daughter's concern.
The lively atmosphere in the living room came to an abrupt end after the appearance of Mu Mu.
Mu Mu's face is very bad, put down the fruit plate, said directly to his son, you go to the kitchen with me.
When he arrived at the kitchen, Mu Mu reprimanded his son for his nosy.
"I want you to talk non-stop? The marriage of the daughter of your family is up to you? Give me less of a thankless thing."
Uncle Mu contends with his mother for this. The mother is more and more angry, and the voice is high. Until the living room is silent, the two people realize that today’s days are not suitable for bickering, both stop, one sigh, one cold. Face.
Liu Xin, who is standing outside the kitchen, has red eyes, sucked his nose and covered his mouth with his hands.
Muzi ran across the north and pushed the door into the arms of his grandmother.
Mu Mu hugged him and smiled and said: "How come north to the kitchen? Is it hungry? Grandma will give you a bowl of sugar taro first?"
The voice of Muzibei is crisp and loud: "Grandma, the next time I let my sister come to play at home, she is always poor to eat cakes alone."
The children’s words are unscrupulous, the listeners have the heart, and the people in the living room have not made a sound. Only Liu Xin’s words turned around in an instant, and they shed tears.
Bai Ziren himself did not realize that she was very pitiful. She used to get used to it. Every year, one person ate early, packed up a table, made a cup of hot tea, cut a piece of cake and took it to the room, and read dessert while eating. If you are too lazy, you can go directly to the bed, wear headphones and listen to music. After waiting for the zero point, open the window and look at the fireworks in the night sky. The sleepyness will follow, and the day will pass after waking up.
Although there is Cheng Jingbo this year, Bai Ziren knows that today is the most important day of the year. It is to be reunited with relatives. She will not easily disturb him.
Unexpectedly, ten minutes later, Cheng Jingbo called and asked what she had eaten. The two chatted for a little while, and he noticed that she was alone at home.
"Why lie to me?" he asked her.
"I don't want to worry you, but it doesn't matter. I have always been like this."
"You didn't know me before, this year is different."
Her heart was touched by this simple words, soft and feathery.
"I will accompany you."
"You have to accompany your family."
"Nothing, they are not bad for me." He said, "I will go downstairs after twenty minutes, how about taking you out to play?"
Her heart was moving, and now she was a little selfish and did not consider his situation and agreed to his proposal.
Hanging up the phone, she picked up the small clock on the bed and counted the time, like a child waiting for a meteor.
Cheng Jingbo was very punctual. After twenty minutes, Bai Ziren put on new clothes and put his hair down.
"Where are you going to take me?" she asked happily.
He smiled and said: "I haven't thought about it yet. Now the mall is closed, there are very few restaurants, and there are not many places to go."
She didn't worry about it at all: "It doesn't matter, I can go anywhere."
He reached out and explored her forehead and then raised the temperature inside the car by two degrees.
Driving all the way, the streets are cold, and the usual neon is dimmed today. The shopping plaza, which was as bright as yesterday, is like a sleeping child. It is quiet and well-behaved, and the music at the fountain is also silent.
On the reunion day of Wanjia’s lights, no one will care about the world outside the door.
Only they are slowly walking in the city under the gray-blue sky.
Bai Ziren looked at everything outside the window and whispered: "They are so lonely."
"What?" he asked.
"The Ferris wheel over there didn't turn, and the lights on the opposite floor of the 72-story high-rise building didn't light up. There was a street of snacks passing by, there was only one car shed covered with cloth, and there was no smell of fire." After talking about it, thinking quietly, everything in front of her made her feel the loneliness of the city like never before.
"It's so good."
She turned her back and looked at his clear eyes.
He said: "It is like the world of two of us."
She looked at him quietly, her great happiness and plenty of her short aphasia, and she said after a long while: "I always thought that I lived in a world, no one would come in."
"If it is me, do you need a pass?"
"There is no problem if you like, but my world is very monotonous, maybe boring, not as interesting as you think."
At the moment, she is telling the truth, because she likes a person, even if she has a seamless lie, she does not bother to say in front of him, she wants him to see his true side.
"So smart? That suits me very well. I am also a very interesting person."
"No, you are very interesting."
"You haven't really explored it yet, you already know it?"
"..."
She scratched her head and heard him say, "You are different in my own eyes and in my eyes. I think one day, you will see yourself as the one I see."
After that, his hand covered her head, a simple glimpse, gentle as a cloud.
"Thank you."
"It is not very sincere to say thank you."
"So what do I do?"
"Come a little."
She moved closer to obedience.
"Come on another."
She continues to move closer.
"If you have the courage, you can kiss me."
"..."
She was brave and approached his side face a little bit until there was still an inch of distance, and her heart beat like a thunder.
"There is still five seconds, kiss me or let me kiss, you can choose one." He explained with the attitude of a gentleman.
She struggled for a while and never had the courage to say, "I still kiss you."
After saying that I seem to have jumped into a pit, there is no chance of remorse.
"No problem." He expressed respect for her choice.
But when he wants to kiss her sideways, she suddenly retreats in inertia.
The two looked at each other for a moment, and he spared her and patted her on the shoulder: "Sit down."
She is sitting right, and her heartbeat is still very fast.
He slowly said something like this: "Let you finally hide once."
