Chapter 17: The Yellow Duck
We came to the indoor pool.
As soon as I entered, I looked around and felt that this place was no different from ordinary pools, and it was so plain that it made my heart itch.
What's wrong with me? Why do I seem to be hoping for something, am I not the type of person who is willing to live with the little things that are happy in the day-to-day?
I squatted down and soaked my palms in the water, and the coolness spread throughout my body. I close my eyes, the waves crashing in the water, the seagulls paddling through the free wind, the loungers, the big-brimmed hats, the bikinis, the cartoon cute Mexican-style food trucks, the sand music of the metal band...... Do I really prefer the free seaside?
I shook my palm in the water, trying to grab a handful of water, and the moment I lifted my hand off the water, it was empty, and everything flowed.
Carol and O'Ao are already playing chess in the water, and the crisp sound of the pieces being thrown on the board is a bit addictive. The whining voice of O'Ao after playing chess echoed emptyly, rippling in the air of the indoor swimming pool in a trance.
I was still squatting there and making a splash, even if I was bored, somehow I just wanted to stay here a little longer, and I knew they would shout to me for a while, "Loris, why don't you come down, come down." "And I get nervous, nervous, nervous, and irregular when they say it, and when I answer, and I guess they're looking at me like a freak, but I still want to stop for a few more minutes. The human heart is really incredible.
Why does this indoor pool look so dry and hollow? Because the colors are monotonous, only blue and white, and blue and white are a bit similar in color, and there is always a feeling that they are about to merge into one color. If you can add a little color to this small space, maybe its temperament will change. It turns out that the monotony of the color will make people feel monotonous, so the rainy weather will make people heavy, and visiting the colorful supermarket will make people feel brighter, and people will not be able to completely determine their mood in the end, and will always be affected by the external background. What kind of emotional intelligence or something, saying that it is controlling one's own emotions or something, or even influencing the emotions of others, always feels a bit mysterious.
Lulu climbed out of the water at this time, and along the handrail ladder, she stepped barefoot on the slippery white lattice pool tiles, and brought out a puddle of water, which was shallowly sticking to her feet, as if she was in a muddy puddle, and it didn't look very neat, as if it might slip at any time. I really want to sweep away that lump of water and let the pool regain its minimalist beauty without a trace of superfluity.
Just as I was thinking to myself, Lulu conjured up a few giant inflatable yellow ducks out of nowhere and looked at me mysteriously squatting on the edge of the pool: "Do you want to ride?"
"I want to ride. I blurted out.
It's not like I've always been gentle-tempered. Maybe I really want to ride, and when I see that inflatable duck, I really want to ride it, drift and play in the water, and be invincible.
So I literally rode it and turned the desire into reality.
Lulu tosses the inflatable duck into the water, and the inflatable duck staggers and stumbles for some distance before regaining its steady. I followed Lulu into the water, and the moment the water touched her calves, it was so cold and silky that it seemed to touch a piece of melting ice. I went down the ladder, my body getting more and more engulfed in the water, until the moment my feet left the ladder, I was completely detached from the land, completely immersed in the world of water, and the air in my ears was empty. I grabbed the horn of the inflatable duck and struggled to climb up. When I climbed up, I sat on an inflatable duck and floated on the water with my feet, feeling like a god in the water, and I had a high level of equipment with a mount, so I could go anywhere I wanted.
