Midnight had passed, and the city was silent.

The street lights on the street have long since gone out.

A crooked crescent moon hangs diagonally from the treetops.

In the dim night, a figure walked alone.

He is Li Ji.

Slipping out of the Haitian Hotel like a thief, Li Ji had an indescribable emotion in his heart.

Like a parrot that has just escaped from its cage, after a short period of tension and happiness, what I feel is not all relaxation, but also sudden loss and deep regret.

He was convinced that he was not a very lustful person, and he was not a lustful and greedy womanizer.

However, what happened to Li Ji tonight?

hungry and thirsty, impatient, unable to control himself; It's like a torrent that has been suddenly stopped, and it seems that if you don't vent it, you will go crazy.

Could it be that there is an evil little pervert hidden in the body of every serious man?

The heart is empty, but it is full.

Simple and complex, clear and confusing.

Li Ji walked silently, with only the sound of wheezing and his feet gently rubbing against the ground.

He suddenly remembered something and hurriedly took out his mobile phone from his bag.

looked at the missed call, and sure enough, it was Liao Ying calling. Li Ji didn't think about it, so he dialed it back.

The earpiece vibrated twice, and he hurriedly put the phone to his ear.

Toot, toot, toot...... The dial sound continued to sound, followed by the familiar piano music of "Autumn Whispers".

Li Ji suddenly remembered that it was the second half of the night, and Liao Ying should have fallen asleep a long time ago. Calling again at this time, isn't it obvious that you want to wake her up?

He was about to hang up, but he heard Liao Ying's voice in his ears, obviously with a strong sense of sleep.

Liao Ying coughed twice in succession, and asked in a hoarse voice, "You haven't gone back yet?" ”

Li Ji was suddenly startled, and replied casually: "I'm back......" Thinking about it, he hurriedly added: "I just came back, and I haven't entered the house yet......"

"Why is it so late,......" Liao Ying yawned, "I've been waiting for your call,...... Waited and waited, fell asleep,..... Hee-hee......"

"Then go to sleep," Li Ji was distressed and guilty, "It's not that I can't tell you, why are you waiting, stupid or not......"

"Oh, aren't people relieved that they can't rest assured of you......"

Although she grew up in a southern water town, a smoky and rainy family, and a watery woman, Liao Ying rarely has such a coquettish time.

Li Ji's heart melted suddenly, and he couldn't wait to run to Liao Ying immediately and kiss her well.

"Well, I know," Li Ji said softly, "Now that I'm back, you should rest assured." Go to sleep, good ......."

"Well," Liao Ying snorted, "You can wash and sleep too......

"Well, it's a good ......" Li Ji agreed, looking up at the dark distance, and suddenly felt a little lonely.

A busy "beep" sound sounded in the earpiece, and he hung up the phone.

The night breeze was blowing, and it was a little cold on the body.

Li Ji let out a sigh of relief, and secretly lucked himself in his heart: Fortunately, I didn't do anything to be sorry for Liao Ying tonight, otherwise how would I have the face to see her in the future.

Put away the phone, a little dazed for a while.

The crescent moon in the sky was no longer visible, and it was dark all around.

The street was empty, only a gray avenue, like a silent python, stretching forward.

Li Ji walked along the side of the street, not in a hurry or slowly.

The wine has fully awakened, and his body is no longer so restless.

Thinking about everything that happened before, I was still in a trance.

On weekdays, when I chat with my colleagues or drink with people in the company, I often tell colorful jokes.

Li Ji knows that no matter how to "fight pornography and eliminate illegal activities", there are still people who wear the cloak of legality and do special business to meet the special needs of men.

Where there is sunshine, there will always be shadows.

Whether you admit it or not, as long as there is a need, there will be existence.

Existence is reasonable, although it may not be legitimate; Just like crime, it does not disappear because of the criminal law, but like spring grass burned by wildfires, it grows and spreads at any time.

Since ancient times, there have been many talented people.

Needless to say, people in ancient times once commented:

"Most famous scholars, such as the poets Su Dongpo, Qin Shaoyou, Du Mu, and Bai Juyi, have visited brothels, or married prostitutes and accepted them as concubines.

Even during the Republic of China, it was still common for literati to meet each other to visit Qinglou.

In June 1931, Xu Zhimo, who went to Peking University to teach, wrote a letter to Lu Xiaoman, writing: "Speaking of me, I have never danced, but I have been to the kiln once, and it was pulled by Lao Deng. If you don't go again, you can rest assured. ”

In October of the same year, he confessed again: "In the evening, so-and-so went to Chunhua Building for Hu Shizhi. I invited three or four girls to come, and after the meal, I was pulled to the alley. I'm sorry, good ma'am! I didn't want to go, but so-and-so said he didn't have to do anything. ”

And Yu Dafu is a person who likes to be nostalgic for Fengyue places.

Whenever he goes to a place, the first thing Yu Dafu knows is not where the accommodation is, but the most famous place here.

Yu Dafu likes to look at beautiful women, and he doesn't hide it at all; However, what is puzzling is that every time he goes to the Qinglou, the women he orders are all old and ugly.

He told the boss that to find a woman to talk to him, he needed to meet three conditions: she was old enough, her appearance was ordinary enough, and she had not had a guest for a long time.

Of course, there are also people who hardly go to Qinglou, and Zhu Ziqing is one of them.

The only time he went in and out of the place was when he made a bet with a friend to write and swam the Qinhuai River.

This is the essay with the same title as Yu Pingbo: "Qinhuai River in the Sound of Oars and Lights".

When I met Zhu Ziqing, a woman who was an artist, her cheeks were crimson, and she looked like a shy young man, I felt pity.

In today's society under the rule of law, the green building has become a relic early, but the rest of the rhyme is endless, and the ancient style is still there.

Hair washing room, massage room, high-end clubhouse...... Makeover, different forms, distinct grades.

Li Ji knows that some people like to go to this kind of place very much.

When I go to the company to do a loan investigation, they often have special arrangements after meals, such as sauna and massage. Li Ji smiled and refused directly.

If you can't control others, can you still control yourself?

However, tonight Li Ji seems to be unable to control himself, and can only "think with his lower body", becoming a hairless animal that has lost his rationality and only has animal nature.

A deep sense of shame welled up throughout the body. In the dark night, Li Ji still felt that his face was feverish.

He remembers the summer vacation when he was in his first year of junior high school.

It's hot.

I couldn't go out to play, and it was boring to stay at home, so Li Ji went to look through the books on his father's bookshelf.

Dad likes to read and buy books.

Li Ji looked for a long time, mostly classical novels such as "Dream of Red Mansions", "Water Margin", and "Three Words and Two Beats". Half-literate and half-white, it looks like it's hard and tired.

He didn't want to read this kind of book at this time.

I have already read the books "Lin Hai Xueyuan", "Railway Guerrillas" and "The Legend of New Children's Heroes", and there is a copy of "History of Entrepreneurship" that seems to be newly bought by my father.

He took it out and lay down on the bamboo mat under the big locust tree in the courtyard, blowing the cool breeze that came and went, and read quietly.

The story in that book was not attractive, but Li Ji patiently read it to the end. After that, he put the book back in its place and never turned it again.

The content of the book slowly blurred, but he clearly remembered that the author's name was Liu Qing, and the paragraph at the beginning of the book was a little long:

"The road of life is long, but there are often only a few steps at the critical point, especially when one is young. No one's life path is straight and there are no forks. Some forks in the road, such as a fork in politics, a fork in the road in your career, a fork in your personal life, you take a wrong step, which can affect a period of your life, or it can affect a lifetime. ”

After so many years, Li Jimo read the sentence that was still familiar, and suddenly a different feeling was born in his heart.
