[Dean Leishenshan said that the epidemic has entered an inflection point, so where is the hottest after the epidemic ends? I think it's the Civil Affairs Bureau and the barbershop. 】

A. Civil Affairs Bureau

A 46-year-old man is really an Oscar-winning man, an age that can be easily reached.

Whoever you want to play, you can play.

Don't show your feet, and you're on fire.

As soon as I saw him looking left and right, hesitating, my heart suddenly jumped into my throat - it's over, it's really a liar.

I took a deep breath and calmed down, and the chill of my whole body was slightly soothed. Well, even if he hid from me to kill people and set fires, he would have to get his marriage certificate today!

I didn't plan to marry him at all, and I didn't even have the slightest idea of forcing him to divorce.

But last night, he showed a brand new divorce certificate.

I didn't pull him out, so I had to drag him here to get it again.

I am 29 years old and of sound mind. Love, love, love, love

He has been displaced by me, and I must not give him a warm nest.

"Let's go, it's almost time for us. I said Lu Mingchuan, are you an old man? ”

"Liu Xin'er, don't be impulsive...... Wouldn't it be nice to make do with it now? ”

"What a fart! The rolls have been thrown out, where is the shop? Paving the road? ”

"I have a place to stay...... Wouldn't it be nice to be in the back of the gallery? ”

"What a fart! I got the certificate and lived with me justifiably! ”

"No hurry, no hurry, I, I...... I have something to say. ”

"Say! Murder, arson, fraud, drug trafficking, what else is hidden from me. ”

"Not really...... I, I'm 53 years old. ”

"What! You're 53! …… Wrong! And also! Go on! ”

"Nothing else! I, Lu Mingchuan, swear to God! ”

"Oh mom, you're scared me to death. Big! Let's go, we've been called. ”

"I said Liu Xin'er, don't regret it."

"Why are you trying to scare me, old man?"

Lu Mingchuan is really not an "old man", if you don't bother with your ID card too much.

Lu Mingchuan's first impression on me, not to mention that he is 53 years old, I believe him when he is in his early forties...... The black and dense hair, the straight and straight body, the angular cheeks, and the crow's feet at the corners of the eyes are simply negligible.

I like the way he looks in a black turtleneck...... Well, it's only one out of five Alain Delon. On the pure black background, there are no broken hair and dandruff, which for me, is a sign of cleanliness and vitality.

My attending doctor once leaked a mouth: fighting poison with poison, the side effects are big, but the effect is also very fast, for example, atropine.

Gao Xiaoxi, from the moment she jumped, tortured me for eight years.

My atropine, it must be Lu Mingchuan, even Gao Xiaoxi "avoided" him.

At night without Gao Xiaoxi, I slept very well and slept brightly.

The first time I saw him, I was a little confused, no, it should be called addiction.

He can read my lips and is very good at being a demon.

B. a year ago. Gallery.

I don't have a parking space. Every day when I come back, I always have to rush to grab a parking space on the side road opposite the community.

Perfumed! Where does the fragrance come from? …… What the heck!

In the rearview mirror, on the left is a smoky barbecue stand, and on the right is a steaming ramen restaurant, with a small "slit" squeezed out of the middle, and a narrow signboard erected, like a small gallery, called "Fragrance".

On my familiar grounds, a gallery suddenly popped up out of tune...... What do you mean? Is that you, Gao Xiaoxi?

My roommate, Gao Xiaoxi, is a mediocre girl like an A4 paper - wooden, bland, weak, carefully decorated with a quiet, detached, and even slightly melancholy tone.

Among the boys I know well, they often compare me to Gao Xiaoxi. There is no suspense, I am the Queen...... Hehe, and the male god I longed for but couldn't reach, but coldly got into Gao Xiaoxi's wings. His obedient and satisfied eyes were disgusting, but he was not to blame. A girl like Gao Xiaoxi, who "pretends" to tune, is the best at planting Gu for boys.

Gao Xiaoxi, who likes to draw, is only at the level of scribbling with a pen in a notebook. In the restaurant, I even bumped into her drawing on tissues.

How could she possibly have a gallery? She's a useless latecomer.

There is her shadow everywhere, and there is no doubt that she has also planted Gu for me.

"Hello. Like what? ”

"Oh, I don't buy paintings, I don't know much about them, just look at them."

"Oh, well, then feel free to do so, I'll be busy first."

A middle-aged woman with a fair face, warm eyes, and a high bun. Suppose she wore a string of pearls or amber pendants over her burgundy cashmere sweater...... That's right, she's either a boss lady or a partner.

Unfortunately, she did wear a jacket with the word "clean" printed on it.

She's busy. It seems that she is going to clean the gallery carefully before closing. She wore plastic gloves and held a rag and detergent in her hands, and her wrung out mop stood at her feet.

I really don't know how to draw, but at least the most viewing can't bother me. While browsing, guessing, sketching, gouache, oil painting...... What, it's all this? Childish, rough, pretentious, can't they all be the work of art students?

"That's right. Most of them are the work of students. As for me, I love to watch them grow! ”

I shuddered. He pressed my shoulders from behind, the faint smell of smoke, his heaving chest, his chin, as if out of nowhere, rubbing my hair...... I'm not afraid, and I don't feel annoying.

"You, you know how to read minds?"

"It's lip talk. Your lips are moving. ”

"You say you like 'growing up' and you're their teacher?"

"Why, I'm a businessman."

"But you're not very good at business."

"Oh? How so? ”

"Look, lame gouache and oil paintings, what's that? …… Oh, this one, and this one, a crayon drawing for a kindergarten student, a comic book for middle school students? ”

"Those paintings were originally the works of a person, from kindergarten, elementary school, and middle school."

"Don't say it, it's scary."

"Horror? How so? ”

"Selling only one person's work? Is that still a gallery, and it's been renamed 'Memorial Hall'. ”

"Hmm...... Don't say it, it's a bit of a 'memorial'. ”

"Yes, you have a problem with this business......

After the palpitations, my body temperature gradually rose, but I was hopelessly out of balance.

At first, only the hair was felt, but soon, I lost my center of gravity and leaned on his shoulder socket. But I still want to go on, shrink the whole person into his chest.

I want to turn around, I want to kiss him...... Damn, what kind of place is this!

I coughed violently, and as I pretended to lean forward, I quickly glanced at the cleaning aunt...... She looked at the two of us, unsurprised and indifferent.

Her ears are hot, and I kind of hate her...... Otherwise, I want to continue to release.

"Auntie, you don't have to come tomorrow."

"Okay, Boss Lu, then I'll come over the day after tomorrow."

"No, I don't need it anymore, I don't need it here."

"Boss Lu, I can reduce my salary, so that I can do anything!"

"No, there's really no need, I'll settle it for you!"

I was stupid, so I stood between them, and I was so anxious that I stomped my feet, and tears came out of my eyes.

"Huh! Are you crazy? Why bully people? Do you have to be in front of me? ”

"I know your lips...... Alright, the gallery is closing, goodbye. ”

After exchanging business cards, we left the gallery gloomily but proudly.

His momentary coldness, cruelty, and impersonal affection, for whom, just to win me?

C. Hot spring building. Into the pit.

Recently, body temperature has become more and more difficult to control, no matter what medicine or how large the dose, it does not work. The capillaries are broken, and the nosebleeds are like tap water unscrewed on the faucet.

I tore open the ice pack and poured it into the tub. The ice slowly melted, and the shame receded.

In that scene in the gallery, he obviously violated me, and I didn't squeak and allowed him to succeed.

Am I Liu Xin'er, or am I the same Liu Xin'er eight years ago?

At the beginning, Gao Xiaoxi dared to rob me, and I simply split her male god.

I was so sleepy that I fell asleep in the bathtub. The phone rang and woke me up.

Lu Mingchuan's voice, as soon as it got into the phone, became so frivolous.

"Liu Xin'er, are you free tomorrow? Take you to a good place. ”

"Where are you going?"

"80 kilometers from the city, there is a hot spring house."

"Where's the gallery, is anyone staring?"

"Closed for a day. I've got to strike while the iron is hot! Right? ”

"Hooligans!"

It's expected to linger overnight.

It was not bad and the room was very cosy.

When he was changing, I turned my back. When I changed clothes, he left the room with a cigarette in his mouth and a bathrobe wrapped in his head. In the mirror, I am tall and youthful, fair-skinned, and delicate...... But he turned a blind eye.

If I had been ten years younger, I promise, he wouldn't even give me a shower. Perhaps, how can a man of his age say, is it "how big the heart is, how deep is the pit"?

Naturally, you should wear a bathrobe over your swimsuit. As I walked along, I had just walked around the rockery, and through the thick bathrobe, I faintly felt a kind of burning heat that was quietly heating up. The men's gaze, with their own skillful feints, shook over their partners, and focused on me implicitly and stubbornly.

I bowed my head knowingly, wrapped it tighter, showed shyness, messed up, and pretended to be in a hurry...... Otherwise, the eyes of the women will surely cast a cold light of contempt.

Unfortunately, Lu Mingchuan in the hot spring pool turned his back to me.

He lay almost on his back, his arms resting on the edge of the pool, his shoulders rippling with the spring. There are no muscles in his back, but he is smooth and flat, and he can't see the fat, folds, and brown spots that a person of his age should have...... Not bad.

"Hey!"

"Oh. Come on. ”

Damn it. He didn't even have to turn his head back, and tilted his head slightly, which was considered a promise. I didn't even see him.

It's as if I'm so uneducated, blind, and emotionally unintelligent, disturbing him to take care of the cigarette in his left hand...... The splash was big, the soot was long, and in the curling blue smoke, he was interested in something else.

Suddenly, Gao Xiaoxi's shadow flashed in his mind, a familiar way - come, Liu Xin'er, see if you can take it or not!

Oh, is it, Gao Xiaoxi? You wait!

I threw off my bathrobe, jumped into the pool, pushed away the waves of water on my chest, splashed with shame, doused the cigarette, and splashed him in the face.

I haven't made it to the "bag" or "fish in the pool" yet.

"Of course you're not. I'm not conceited enough to 'take' your share. ”

"You, how do you ......"

"I know your lips. Forget, gallery, dismissal cleaning aunt. ”

"I didn't forget, but I ...... You're a bit of a demon. ”

"Demon? How's that! Am I ...... age?"

"Bang bang, at your age, you have read countless people!"

"Eh, who did you just talk to?"

"I didn't...... Oh, you said Gao Xiaoxi. ”

"Gao Xiaoxi? Male. ”

"Little girl. Roommates + rivals. ”

"What about the end, who won?"

"She's dead."

"Win, so thoroughly."

"No. Are you mistaken...... It's the opposite. ”

He leaned over, shoulders close together, and his eyes were sincere and fiery, just the kind of temperature I hadn't seen in a long time.

It's not an easy-to-come acting, it's a hunter watching the wound.

The guilt and emptiness that tormented me, between a few words, were just like that, and he was tricked off the bottom.

Well, I was taken down.

D. Small tablets. Male god.

He always carefully and skillfully avoided weekends, public holidays, and festivals, so as not to disturb or offend him, and to be a husband and a father's legal domain.

I, on the other hand, never thought of marrying him at all, and I came and went freely.

In life, the love between the two of us is a hibernation in the deep mountains and old forests, like a stranger, step by step, without revealing clues.

In this way, it is impossible to talk about who will hinder or hurt anyone.

Away from the hustle and bustle, it's a different matter.

Driving away from the city where we live, he always finds strange places. I have to admire that the place he is looking for is remote, quiet, and even desolate, but it is not suitable for cheating, suitable for unloading the remains of heavy people, and suitable for becoming the type that people despise...... Each of them put on an invisibility cloak.

After dinner, we went out for a walk, and it wasn't until I turned back from the mountain path and stood on the hillside and looked down that I realized that it looked like a hospital, and it was a bit creepy.

He can read my lips, and I'm waiting for him to be a demon.

"Yes and no...... It's a nursing home, not a hospital. ”

"Then what's the matter, just the lights are on in our room?"

"Someone else lowered the curtains early in the morning...... Healing is also privacy. ”

"Heal? …… So what are we? ”

"Let's call it 'male and female love'."

"Rascals! Old rascals! ”

The rooms here are unsatisfactory, more than luxurious, less comfortable, full of solid wood, gilded, velvet. LED light sources, especially annoying, cold and dazzling.

When I came out of the bathroom, I heard a slight snoring. It just so happens that I can take my medicine with peace of mind.

I took out a small medicine bottle, poured two tablets into the palm of my hand, and as soon as I picked up the water glass, I was stunned.

Gao Xiaoxi asked me, "Do you still need this medicine to lose weight?" ”

Gao Xiaoxi's male god also asked me, "Can you get pregnant just once?" ”

Fortunately, Lu Mingchuan fell asleep. Otherwise, maybe he will be able to read the truth again.

"This medicine can't be taken anymore. I know it's a placebo, why lie to myself! ”

My hands shook violently as if they had been electrocuted, and the glass of water fell to the ground and the pills were scattered all over the floor.

Lu Mingchuan jumped up from the bed, rushed behind me, and hugged my arm tightly. My convulsive body was almost on my back for a second.

"Placebo? But it relieves pain and makes me amnesiac! …… How old are you? ”

"Then let me try and swallow me."

Somewhere, a chemical reaction occurred, and the will to struggle to escape collapsed, his eyelids were as heavy as a mountain gate, his body fell rapidly, and the sound of the wind was in his ears. There's nothing to be afraid of anymore...... I swallowed him.

I woke up with my cheek pressed against his chest, soothing and content.

From now on, I will have no medicine to eat...... I tried to see if I could recall all the details that tormented me all night long.

Gao Xiaoxi's male god, hotel, whose idea came? …… Where was Gao Xiaoxi that night? …… Who are they? Where did you drink it? …… Who sent the photo out in the group, me? Or is it a male god? …… Are both drunk? Who is awake and who is drunk? Male god, it's still me! …… Gao Xiaoxi stood outside the balcony railing, early in the morning? Dawn?

Someone gently rubbed my hair, and Lu Mingchuan woke up.

"Say, can't you read lips? Who am I talking to? ”

"I can't read it, and it doesn't work every time."

"It's going to be a demon."

"Never again."

"You go on, I'm used to it."

"I'm divorced. The divorce certificate is in the bag. ”

"Liar! I want to see it, go get it! …… You come back, don't take it, it's boring. ”

"I'm out of the house."

"You can get the certificate with me tomorrow."

"Why?"

"You're my medicine, you can't stop for a day."

Lu Mingchuan rolled over and fell asleep again.

The details, all the details related to Gao Xiaoxi, turned into a small snowflake, fell into the palm of my hand, and melted in an instant.

That night, I slept deeply.

E. Gao Xiaoxi. Child.

Mine, the last little memory is this.

After receiving the marriage certificate, Lu Mingchuan and I came out of the Civil Affairs Bureau and went back to the gallery directly.

The small warehouse behind the gallery, packing his luggage...... Like, the takeout he ordered, we ate it at the gallery...... It's like, it's someone again, and I can't remember who it is...... That's it, that's all I can recall.

It's not a lie, it's true. I sat there, my eyelids sank, my head tilted, and I fell asleep.

Is this waking up again? The same feeling as waking up from shock, head swelling, thirst, palpitation, numbness in the limbs.

Why am I in a wheelchair, why are I tied my arms and feet?

Lu Mingchuan and a woman, sitting in front of me, very close, face to face.

"Narukawa, what is this for? Why are you tying me up. ”

"Oh, are you awake, Liu Xin'er...... Do you recognize her? ”

She ...... Recognize, isn't she the cleaning aunt you dismissed. ”

"Hello, Liu Xin'er. Finally, we met again. ”

"Hello, Auntie...... But, Lu Mingchuan, let go of me quickly. ”

"Don't worry, Liu Xin'er, when we finish speaking, you can bear with it for a while."

"'We'?" We'! …… Who is with whom, who is 'we'! ”

"'We' are family, our family is reunited!"

"Lu Mingchuan, don't be a demon! Let go of me! I shouted! ”

"This is the basement of the gallery. No one can hear you when you shout. ”

"Lu Mingchuan, are you crazy? …… Who is this woman? ”

"She is Xiaoxi's mother, called Gao Yuan. Oh, Xiaoxi takes her mother's last name. ”

"Ahh …… Yes! …… Yes! …… Gao Xiaoxi's mother! ”

"That's right, she is Xiaoxi's mother, naturally, that is, my ex-wife."

"Ahh …… Yes! …… Yes! …… Nightmare! Magic! Practical joke! ”

"Don't be like this, Liu Xin'er, the family is reunited, isn't it?"

"Reunion? You are crazy! Gao Xiaoxi jumped off the building, she has been dead for eight years! ”

"But you're pregnant. Isn't it, Liu Xin'er? ”

"Crazy! Shut up! Kill me! ”

"Our children, this time we have the surname Lu. Xiaoxi's younger brother, maybe my sister. ”

"Crazy! All crazy! …… I have only one question. ”

"You can ask as many questions as you want."

"Lu Mingchuan, do you really know how to read lip language? So accurate? ”

"Oh, I will, and it's easy. You have been a roommate with Gao Xiaoxi for four years, and Xiaoxi has drawn 12 diaries with a pen. ”

"Pen and ink drawings? A diary of pen and ink drawings! ”

"Your strength, your cold-eyedness, your bad words, your scheming, your insults...... Draw lifelike and immersive. According to the 12 albums, it is not too difficult to figure out your temperament. ”

"I, I ......"

"Gao Xiaoxi called my father for 21 years, shouldn't I do something for her!"

"Kill me, I'd rather pay for her life now."

"Take your time, you have my baby in your belly."
