Xiaoling lovesickness doubts and longevity waiting all night longing to accompany you
"Well..." Xue Jiuyue didn't expect that her mother not only loved eating eggs, but also wanted to see the hens that laid them. "She must have inherited her father's wild imagination!"
"That's excellent imagination and creativity!" Xue's father corrected him with a smile, "It's the driving force behind human progress."
Xue's mother ignored Xue's father's self-absorption. "Xiao Shi, I still say the same thing. Don't be offended! Now that you've grown up, don't always focus your energy on those trivial things. Talk about love more..."
Worried that her parents wouldn't get enough rest, but also unwilling to separate and book hotel rooms, Xue Jiuyue insisted on letting her parents sleep in her own bed while she slept on the sofa.
Soon, the familiar sound of my father snoring could be heard from the room. This sound, which had accompanied me every night of my childhood, brought me a long-lost sense of security, but it didn't make me sleepy at all.
Leaning on the pillow, opening the notebook, enjoying the end of the day in extreme relaxation, "spitting" is destined to be the last footnote of today.
There was no card playing, but half a glass of whiskey soaked in ice balls made the conversation drunken.
"Do you like drinking?" Xue Jiuyue suddenly asked after putting down his wine glass.
"I'd rather go a day without meat than a day without wine. Li Bai wrote hundreds of poems after drinking a lot of wine. His talent wouldn't be brilliant without wine. Nietzsche without wine would be a madman. If I don't like wine, wouldn't I be wasting my vast knowledge?"
"He's clearly a drunkard, yet he's still trying to flatter himself."
"Beautiful Yue, even though you are the one who has the final say, you can't turn a blind eye to my talent that is as unconcealable as a firefly in the dark night!"
"Where are they? Where are the fireflies? It's so dark I can't even see my hand in front of me!"
"It seems I have to show some real skills. You forced me to do this! I'll give Princess Yue a song called "Longing After Being Drunk":
Longing for You After Being Drunk
The stars are dim and the moon is dim, the fine wine entices the immortals to come and welcome me. Yingzhou invites me to travel.
Listen to the sound of the zither, listen to the cry of the cranes, they flee into the green of the Southern Mountains. Their shadows rest on the vast East Sea.
The short poem was beautiful, moving from a drunken haze to a wandering trance, capturing the beauty of intoxication. As with the previous poem, the two names were specifically mentioned, "star" and "moon." Xue Jiuyue couldn't help but praise it, "It's really well written, quite brilliant."
"My tiny light dares not compete with the bright moon, but I would like to offer a small token of my appreciation to Princess Yue, hoping to earn her a smile."
"Your words, given to me, what do they mean?"
"I just hope this poem can bring happiness and good luck to the beautiful Yue. I hope that after drinking wine in the future, you will also feel as ethereal as a fairy, and your literary inspiration will flow like the endless Yellow River."
Xue Jiuyue re-examined the poem "Spit Star" to verify the rhythm and rhythm. She even read it out loud. As soon as she spoke, she found that "Crane", "South Mountain" and "East Sea" were particularly eye-catching today! Could it be a coincidence? If not, she had never mentioned the specific date of her birthday to anyone, and even Liu Che had guessed it! Xue Jiuyue was full of doubts and carefully tested, "What day is it today that you want to give me a poem?"
"Every day I meet a beautiful lady is a day worth remembering!"
Xue Jiuyue didn't believe his nonsense, "Come here quickly, otherwise...!"
"You weren't online all last night, leaving me feeling lonely and cold. I could only 'raise my glass to the bright moon, and our shadow, we become a couple.' I drank a little too much, and in my euphoria, a flash of inspiration struck me, which I captured and turned into these few lines. If you hadn't just mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten it. So I figured this little poem was inspired by you and written for you, and it should be dedicated to the beautiful Moon, the one I respect, admire, and adore the most!"
It made perfect sense, no flaws. Xue Jiuyue specifically checked the time and previous chat history. It was 11:36 PM. If she hadn't declined the invitation to play cards right at the start, she might still be playing games, and there wouldn't have been a chance to chat before midnight. Even if they were chatting, if she hadn't happened to ask about "Spit Star" while drunk, the other party wouldn't have been able to bring up this poem so naturally. As the other party said, if she hadn't mentioned it, he might have almost forgotten it.
So this is just a coincidence?
Apart from his parents, few people knew his birthday, so it could only be a coincidence. So Xue Jiuyue joked, "Since you are so filial, what's the reward?"
"Oh, you're so polite. I'll let you give me something as a reward. Thunder and rain are all graces from the emperor. What about giving me a blue diamond? Oh, that's so embarrassing. I'd better not give it."
"Go to hell, I'll burn your reward!"
After a heart-breaking pattern, all kinds of laughter were elicited, accompanying Xue Jiuyue to slowly spread the strands of sleepiness into a pillow of peaceful sleep.
The limited time together made it hard to indulge in too much sleep. When the family woke up, darkness was still lingering in the night. Xue's father loved local specialties, and Xue's mother loved the freshest bite on her tongue, so they decided yesterday to go to the morning market by the sea to taste the fishermen's fresh catch.
As soon as I arrived at the gate of the community, I saw someone waving at me on the side of the road. It was Qian Jianjun!
Xue Jiuyue pulled the car over and came over to greet him, "Mr. Qian, what are you doing?"
"I wanted to take my uncle and aunt out for a walk. You're always so polite, so I just came here to wait and see if there's a chance."
"You're here so early. You waited all night yesterday?"
"Um, no..." Qian Jianjun stumbled a little before continuing, "It's okay. I fell asleep in the car. I just woke up and washed up on the roadside when I ran into him."
As he spoke, Qian Jianjun pointed to a sewer on the side of the road, where there were still traces of undried water on the shoulder of the road.
Mr. Xue also got out of the car and said, "Mr. Qian, we appreciate your kindness, but there's really no need to bother."
"Uncle, it's really just a small token of my appreciation. I hope to play the role of a good host and accompany you and Auntie around. I also hope to get closer to you." Qian Jianjun looked at Mr. Xue sincerely and firmly, and answered humbly.
Father Xue was unmoved. "It's really not necessary, Mr. Qian. We've been to Xialin before, and this time we're just here to spend more time with our family. It doesn't matter where we go, so please go back."
Mr. Xue's attitude was completely different from yesterday. Qian Jianjun suddenly understood something and after a little consideration, he asked directly, "Uncle, do you think my marital status is inappropriate?"
"This..." Mr. Xue was caught off guard.
Xue Jiuyue came out to rescue him in time, "Mr. Qian, don't mention that. We really want to get together as a family. I'm very grateful that you've taken so much trouble. Next time I have the chance, I will definitely not be polite to you, okay?"
"Okay, then I won't bother you anymore." Qian Jianjun's star-like eyes dimmed a little, but he added, "You got up so early, are you going to the morning market at the seaside?"
Seeing Xue Jiuyue nodded, Qian Jianjun continued, "About 50 kilometers northeast, there's a place called Panlong Bay. You can navigate there, but you might have to wait a quarter to half an hour. The seafood there may not be the best-looking, but it's definitely the freshest. The fishermen keep it for themselves, so it's hard to say what you can buy or how much you can get. The village next to the port is just one street. At the northernmost end, there's a family with a horse stone at the door. Their surname is Li. They don't have a sign, but they process seafood, and the taste is very authentic."
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Qian. I'll treat you to dinner some other day!"
After Xue Jiuyue finished speaking, she took her father's arm and prepared to turn around and leave, but Qian Jianjun's light "Xiaoyue" seemed to have something more to say.
"how?"
Qian Jianjun's lips parted slightly, wanting to give up but unwilling to do so. Finally, he made up his mind and said, "It's not like what you think. It's not because I like you that I want to show my uncle and aunt around. My parents passed away when I was very young, and my elderly grandparents raised me. No matter what problems I encountered since I was a child, I tried to rely on myself as much as possible. When I was a child, I wished so much that I had a father and a mother, so much that they could tell me what I should and shouldn't do, and so much that I wanted to hear their praise, compliments, or criticisms. But all these are extravagant hopes that will never be realized. Perhaps because of these wishes in my heart, when I grew up and had some foundation, I treated all the elders around me as my own parents, always hoping to chat with them more and be around them more often to show my filial piety."
Qian Jianjun's eyes reddened as he spoke. He raised his head to calm down before speaking calmly, "Perhaps this is what it means when 'a son wishes to support his parents, but they are no longer around.' Well, go ahead and spend more time with your parents, cherishing every moment of this life."
After saying that, Qian Jianjun turned and walked towards the business class cabin on the roadside not far away. But the words he left behind still deeply touched Xue Jiuyue and his daughter. The two looked at each other, and a knowing smile immediately turned into Xue Jiuyue's voice, which stumbled Qian Jianjun's steps, "Mr. Qian."
Qian Jianjun turned around.
"I forgot what the place you mentioned is called."
"Panlong Bay!"
"What? I can't quite remember. How about you take us there?"
Overjoyed, Qian Jianjun urged Xue Jiuyue and her parents to sit in the back of the business class cabin, while he insisted on taking the front passenger seat. Before leaving, he waved goodbye to a security guard at the door, who waved back.
Whether it was Qian Jianjun's usual knowledge or a spur-of-the-moment strategy, his morning was perfectly planned. Picking seafood, having breakfast, watching the sunrise, touring the fishing village, and soaking in the ocean-view hot springs—all within the vicinity of Panlong Bay. Xue Jiuyue and her family of three were now in a glass-enclosed room surrounded by the sea on three sides. With the windows open, the sea breeze blew in, stirring the splashing water and bringing the soothing warmth of nature. While he was getting a massage, Father Xue had already drifted off to a comfortable nap.
Mother Xue was still chatting with Xue Jiuyue who was sitting next to her, "Xiao Shi, although Mr. Qian is very attentive, he just got divorced after all, so he must be clear about it."
"Don't worry, I'll transfer all my expenses to him later. This is what we agreed on. If he doesn't accept it, I'll cut off all ties with him."
"Silly child, many things can't be repaid with money. For example, he waited for us all night last night. This kind of care can't be bought with money."
"It's true he definitely thought of a way and put a lot of thought into it, but I doubt he waited all night last night. Didn't you see him wave to the security guard when he left? I bet the security guard must have been staring at the lights in our house all night, and only woke him up when they came on. Everything he does is either profoundly meaningful or incredibly well-thought-out. But Mom, I told you yesterday that he and I are just friends, and his wife knows that, so you and Dad can rest assured!"
"Actually, as long as you're happy, your father and I don't mind the past and stories between the people you love and the people who love you. It's just that Qian Jianjun's situation is too easy to make associations. Not to mention that public opinion can easily melt gold, it will also make your conscience feel guilty. A life with guilt will ultimately not be happy."
"I know, that's why I signed that agreement with Qian Jianjun. It was to prove my innocence and serve as a warning to myself. But his wife knows about it and asked me to agree to it. You must not tell him."
"Don't worry, you said yesterday that your father and I won't mention it. If Qian Jianjun was just an ordinary person, I wouldn't worry about him, but he's excellent in every aspect. I'm just afraid that one day you'll fall into it unknowingly."
