"Hey, don't look that way, just look this way." Bai Zezhi said.

"No, I can't take it anymore." Simba stood up and walked to the next table, moved the cup and the vase on the table slightly, and then sat back in his place satisfied. "I'm comfortable now, otherwise I won't be able to get through the next hour or two."

"Alas. You really haven't changed at all. Are you a perfectionist obsessive-compulsive disorder? ”

"No way, I don't want to do this, I can't change it." Simba shook his head.

"I've already ordered the dishes, and I don't ask you what you like, I'll have something to eat later!" Bai Zezhi said.

"Okay. As long as it's a beautiful dish, I like to eat it, and I don't want to eat something ugly. Simba emphasized.

"You know, it's all good-looking dishes. How have you been? ”

Simba let out a long breath and said, "Alas, it's very comfortable to be sad! ”

Bai Zezhi smiled, this is Simba's mantra, and it has not changed over the years.

"What's wrong?" Bai Zezhi asked.

"The leader said that he wanted to promote me, deputy section level."

"That's good, congratulations." Bai Zezhi said in surprise.

"What's good, not interested."

"You are content, it's too late for people to envy you, you still have one, isn't it rare? By the way, I have a friend in my refresher class who is writing a popular science book, and I will help him ask, can you publish it? What are the requirements and procedures? ”

"Yes, you ask him to come to me, I can do it if I think it can be done, we welcome popular science books, and they should be written in an interesting and good-looking way."

"Okay, I'll give him your phone number when I get back and ask him to contact you himself." Saying that, Bai Zezhi raised the cup on the table and motioned to Simba, "Come, let's celebrate you first and congratulate you on your promotion." ”

Simba raised his glass, "Actually, I'm really not interested in being promoted or not." Restrained, and jealous of others, saying that I can be promoted or something at such a young age, gossip, it's not interesting. ”

"Isn't that what life is all about? You always have to go up, and you can't please everyone, don't worry about that. Bai Zezhi comforted her.

"Actually, I want to live a free life, a life that is uninhibited, free, and not according to the standards of my elders. You don't have to smile at the people you hate, you don't have to be polite to the people you hate, you don't care about anything, you can do whatever you want! Simba said, his eyes shining brightly.

Bai Zezhi said with feeling: "Sometimes, I also have such thoughts. ”

Yes, maybe she likes Ding Rose so much, because she is so different from herself, always so freewheeling, doing her own thing, and even the kind of "bad" girl in the eyes of most people. But what is "good" and what is "bad"?

"yes, yes!" Simba was approving, and he became even more energetic, "Sometimes I think what a terrible and hopeless thing it is to live like this according to my parents' requirements! Study hard, take exams well, get admitted to a good school, find a good job, find a good partner, get promoted, get married and have children, and then be like our parents, have children, cook, do housework, manage children, and educate children to study hard...... Life is the same, don't you think it's scary? ”

"I don't know." Bai Zezhi said, "Maybe when you meet someone who loves each other, even if you do such a boring trivial, you will feel full of sweetness, who knows?" ”

"Hopefully. I really want to go**, maybe one day, I want to go once**, put down work, let go of love, let go of everything, set off, alone, go to a distant place! ”

"There is nothing in the distance but in the distance." Bai Zezhi borrowed Haizi's poem and whispered, "The farther away, the more lonely, the farther, except for the distance, there is nothing." ”
