Flying Birds

Chapter 3

God kisses "Youya" in his love, while people kiss "Wai".

-Tagore's Bird Collection

The wind chime in the living room, with a thin and crisp sound, like the rapid footsteps of an elf, hurriedly running close to the ear.

I have been painting for lunch. Chu Xiaoye wanted a series of natural pictorials with a harmonious response. She dragged her chin to watch me draw, and gave me some advice from time to time.

"Isn't it good for me to do this?" Chu Xiaoye asked, "I heard that painters don't like to be told about this and that on the side. It seems that this is a common problem with art! It's a bit of an artistic disease like self-obsessive-compulsive disorder.

"There's nothing wrong with it." I raised something focused on the drawing paper and said, "I didn't learn to learn art. I have a sister's friend who used to study art, and I used to learn something." I pushed the frame and then said, "Otherwise, I won't sit here and paint."

"That's good." Chu Xiaoye said, "Xia Shu, you are such a strange guy."

Those red clouds pile up the autumn dusk, and the elongated figures on the horizon silently send the light of the past. With the passage of time, this scene will also become the end of the years. Our afternoon has passed, but we haven't seen Chu Xiaoye's roommates come back. Fortunately, most of my paintings have been done.

Looking at the watch, it's already seven o'clock.

"Why hasn't Mue come back yet?" Chu Xiaoye frowned complaining, making her eyes, which were not big, smaller.

"Hey, Mue, are you coming back tonight?" Chu Xiaoye dialed the phone.

At the other end of the phone: "Xiao Ye, I will be back later today. I'm sorry."

"Oh, you..." Chu Xiaoye shook his head with a sigh: "Okay."

Chu Xiaoye smiled bitterly at me: "She went out crazy with her boyfriend again." Chu Xiaoye cleaned up the paper on the table and asked me, "Would you like to have dinner here?"

"Do you not disturb other people in the dormitory?"

"The other two are from this city, so I went home today.

"In this case, I'm willing to eat your cooking again."

Chu Xiaoye simply made some home-cooked dishes, and the taste was very light. I buried my head in the preserved eggs and listened to her funny stories here.

Chu Xiaoye told me that the opposite side of this house is a cemetery or something, diagonally opposite is a prison, not far to the left is a gynecological hospital, and the side of the hospital seems to be a mental hospital. It seems that there is everything from birth to death. Chu Xiaoye said that he often worried about where to run out at night, such as the uncle who came out of the mental hospital. Something strange came out of the cemetery.

A person's life may be doomed, and most of them are arranged. In fact, there is no difference between people. Most of the processes are like this. There is no change at all, and the trajectory of pain is constantly circulating. The layout of the surrounding environment here gives me this idea, and I don't want this idea to break this atmosphere.

I asked her with a serious face, "I don't know where you came from."

Chu Xiaoye was amused by me and said seriously, "Well, it seems that it came out of the courtyard of so-and-so." After saying that, Chu Xiaoye smiled happily like a spring.

We laughed and drank a big mouthful of refreshing beer. Under the stimulation of alcohol, the more we talk, the happier we are. I also told some stories about Brother Qiang. Chu Xiaoye listened happily and kept asking me, "Xia Shu, why is there such a funny person?" Chu Xiaoye's cheerful laughter has been uninterrupted. I also said happily. I haven't laughed so happily for a long time, and I laughed for no reason.

I don't know who said that happiness is contagious. I have never believed in this theory, and I have to believe it at this time. Girls like Chu Xiaoye are really happy to be together. It's the feeling of taking off all your clothes in the bright sunshine, getting rid of the shackles and fetters of the world, and running on the grassland. ( This is not a streak, it doesn't involve breaking the law, and there will be no police to arrest you.)

Chu Xiaoye asked me to sing, but I said no. Chu Xiaoye was not forced to sing by himself. I don't remember the lyrics, but Chu Xiaoye's voice is really good, and the song is quite penetrating. It is a pleasant song, which is very open after listening to it. There is no mess in today's popular songs.

After that, I said it was the first time. It was the first time that a girl sang in front of me.

Chu Xiaoye looked into my eyes. I looked into her eyes. I hugged her shoulder, bent my head, and gently kissed her lips. I can feel her body trembling gently. The golden sun shines on her long eyelashes, like a golden angel. Human beings are really a strange species, inadvertently leaving beautiful things in your mind, even if this beauty may not belong to you.

My lips left gently, and I stared into Chu Xiaoye's eyes. Breaking the silence, it was Chu Xiaoye who spoke first.

She asked me in an unspeakable voice, "Do you have anyone you like?"

Is there anyone you like? That summer... that salty, bitter kiss. That long-haired summer full of light soapy smell...

That summer no longer exists, so why is it so difficult for someone to deliberately write down my heart?

"There should be." I don't know how I answered at that time, and I don't know how I felt when I answered that day.

Chu Xiaoye seemed to say something. In fact, I'm not sure. My thoughts have been stuck in the traces of that summer. It just seems that I didn't pay attention to what she said.

This is a peaceful autumn sunset. You don't need too many words or expressions. All you need is courage, leaning against the wall, drinking beer, and enjoying the beautiful but easily lost sunset.

After that, we quietly enjoyed the sunset, looking at the roofs in the distance, the tall TV towers, the old and new houses criscrossed in the city, wrong writing, and the chaotic memories rolled back and forth like seawater in our brains.

It's about 8:30. I went back to the dormitory. Since our school has to check the house at nine o'clock every day, we have to come back.

When I returned to the dormitory, Brother Qiang ran to me with a smile.

"Xia Shu, who is that girl today?"

I looked at Brother Qiang's expression of envy and vowing to ask the result. The head, which was blown by the night wind, had a headache even more.

I had to tell the truth mixed with lies. I shook my head and said that nothing happened what you expected.

Brother Qiang asked me again and again if something happened to her? The other two people in the dormitory also looked at me eagerly, hoping to tell some explosive news from my mouth. I'm not interested in pestering with them. On the pretext of being tired, I was ready to go to bed.

Brother Qiang pulled me and said, "You boy, always explain, otherwise I'll see how Brother Qiang will kill you and say, are you a virgin? What's the relationship? Remarks: First base: hug, pull hands, second base: kiss, home base: ............ omitted here.)

The kiss couldn't help but appear in front of me. I saw Brother Qiang's obscene expression. I swallowed my saliva in horror and said casually, "Nothing, just a simple favor."

Brother Qiang looked at me disappointedly: "I thought something had happened!"

I smiled faintly, simply did some washing, and then crawled on ** and squinted..........

In the dream, in that hot summer, the girl with long hair grabbed me repeatedly in my dream.
