Chapter 38 Daily Life 06
Daily 06
*
Suddenly I realized that the updates of "Shan Hai" have changed from random updates to annual updates, and every year I seem to choose my wedding anniversary to release an update.
I've been so lazy about updating, not because there haven't been any memorable sweet moments this year, but rather because I've been so happy and carefree every day that I've been too lazy to write anything down. I'm a relatively careless, even a bit silly person, so the daily things I share with everyone on Weibo are mostly silly and funny things I've done in life. My interactions with Brother Liu are also hilarious in everyone's eyes.
I think that in ordinary life, if we spend every day with a relaxed and interesting attitude, we will be happier.
Sixth Brother got a new nickname this year, "Good Friend".
The reason is that this book "Mountains and Seas" has been signed for publication. After the editor returned the manuscript, he told me that the scenes of my time with my sixth brother in junior high school needed to be slightly modified. Sensitive words such as "miss", "like", "break up" and so on should not be mentioned, and there should be no physical contact.
Since those real experiences cannot be deleted, I thought about it again and again and could only define our relationship at that time as "good friends" in the book.
"I feel very painful when I lost my good friend", "I feel desperate when I am separated from my good friend", "That is the friendship I cherish most"... As soon as this nickname was launched, it immediately received unanimous praise from everyone, so from then on I would call Sixth Brother my "good friend" wherever I go.
Longtime readers will likely know that I had already signed a publishing contract when "Shan Hai" was serialized in 2019, but the publisher later chose to terminate the contract due to the pandemic. I've always approached this autobiography of my love affair with Liu Ge with a very Buddhist attitude. I wrote it primarily as a memoir for myself, but also to share my joy with everyone. I thought that if it could be published, it would be a commemoration of our love, something I could read in my old age and share with my children and grandchildren. Therefore, I wasn't sad when the contract was terminated.
However, at the beginning of this year, when I was locked up in Shanghai for three whole months, a publishing house offered to sign this book, which gave our good friend an opportunity to meet everyone again. My good friend and I are deeply grateful for this.
During my detention, I devoted considerable energy to revising the physical copy of "Shan Hai," adding ten thousand words of new excerpts. I also asked several close friends, including myself, to write a joint afterword. It's expected to be released in early 2024, and I'm currently signing special copies for everyone. Thank you all for your support and for giving my dear friend a chance to make a living.

Yesterday, my Sixth Brother and I happened to be out meeting a new friend. After three rounds of drinks, the new friend curiously asked me, "How long have you and Sixth Brother been married?"
I teased her deliberately: "Guess what."
My friend's eyes flickered between us. "Looking at how sweet and affectionate you two are when you're together, it feels like you're newlyweds... but the tacit understanding you share makes it feel like you've been together for a long time."
My sixth brother and I looked at each other and said to her with a smile, "This Saturday is our fourth wedding anniversary."
Sometimes I think that time flies so fast. It feels like getting the marriage certificate was just yesterday, and sharing the good news with everyone on Weibo is still vivid in my mind. In the blink of an eye, I have been married for four years.
Fortunately, my sixth brother and I are still the conjoined twins that everyone talks about, sticking together wherever we go. Even if we see each other at our weakest, sloppiest and most indecent side, we never get tired of each other.
Moreover, in these four years, we have all become better, influencing and supporting each other. Whether in work, life or emotions, we are doing better than before, and seriously serving as each other's most sincere lovers and most sincere friends.
Again, thank you for being here, my good friend.

I have to mention at this point that next year I will be thirty years old.
When I first started writing novels, I wasn't even 20 years old. Back then, I kept thinking, "I'm still very young, a long way from 30." Over the years, I've habitually played it young, encouraging children to call me "sister," refusing to be called "auntie." Whenever I reported my age, I'd always say 20 or 18.
This "resistance" to aging has continued until this year. I think about how I was only 25 when my sixth brother and I got married, and I'll be 30 next year. As our marriage has gone on, my age has also increased. How I want to deny this!
But starting from one day this year, I suddenly began to admit very frankly that I would be thirty next year.
When Sixth Brother asked me why I had such a change of heart, I told him, "I just suddenly felt that growing up is pretty good."
Now that I am thirty, I have gained life experience that I did not have when I was young. I have gained more insights in all aspects of life, can find a life attitude that suits me, and can handle all kinds of trivial matters and even difficult troubles and difficulties on my own.
I can now take care of them like my parents took care of me. I can be good to the people I love to the best of my ability. I also know how to run my own family and how to face the ups and downs of life with a calm attitude.
These are things I couldn't do when I was twenty, but I can do them all now.
Moreover, when I was twenty years old, I had not yet written so many stories, had not yet met so many lovely readers, and had not yet started my own family with my sixth brother.
So I am very happy and I will embrace the arrival of turning 30. No matter how busy life gets, I will keep writing and have fun with everyone.

One night, because of something, I started to criticize Sixth Brother.
Me: “How could you do this, balbablal…”
After listening to my scolding, Brother Six remained calm and didn't even raise an eyebrow.
He had his game chat turned on, and a friend said to him, "Oh my god, why is your wife so mean to you?"
Sixth Brother: "It's just daily operation, don't panic."
After he finished the game, I pouted and started pretending to cry.
Me: “You just scolded me!!!”
Sixth Brother: “????”
Me: “You just yelled at me!!!”
Sixth Brother: “????”
Me: “Woooooooooooooooooo… (One-year-old child)”
Sixth Brother was speechless and amused. He came over and hugged me, kissing me while patiently coaxing a one-year-old child: "Okay, okay, I was wrong. I was mean to you. Don't cry, baby."
Me (instantly showing off my unique skill: changing my expression in three seconds): “Hehehehe.”
While eating dinner, he suddenly sighed: "The differences between people are really huge."
I:"?"
Sixth Brother: "Not only did I get scolded, but I also had to admit to something I didn't do, and even try to coax the person who scolded me."
Me: “Hehehehe.”
Lululu, you are responsible for the wife you spoiled yourself.

I have a lot of dreams at night.
One morning when I woke up, I said to my sixth brother meaningfully, "I had a dream last night. In my dream, two super handsome guys were chasing me. They treated me to delicious food and bought me all kinds of things."
Me: "Very handsome, very tall, and a great flirt."
Me: “But I rejected them all!”
Me: "I told them that I still only love my husband."
The corner of Sixth Brother's mouth twitched: "You mean, you want me to thank you?"
Me: "Yeah, yeah, I'm so loyal and affectionate!"
The Sixth Brother was speechless and choked up: "Thank you, I'm so touched!"
I had another dream one night. When I woke up in the morning, I grabbed my sixth brother, who was still asleep, and started beating him up.
The sixth brother woke up from his dream, looking confused: "What happened???"
Me: "You left with another woman last night, and you held her hand and showed off in front of me arrogantly."
Me: "I told you not to leave, but you still left without looking back."
Me: “You cheated.”
Me: “Woooaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…”
Sixth Brother: “…………………………”
Me: “Woooaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…”
Sixth Brother could only coax me and sighed helplessly: "Can you please not let me take the blame for your dreams in the future?"
Me: "No way!!! If not you, who else should I look for?!"

One night, I had my period and my stomach hurt so much that I curled up in the quilt like an enoki mushroom.
I complained to my sixth brother, "I don't want to be a girl in my next life. Really! It's too painful! Periods are the public enemy of girls!!"
While holding me and rubbing my belly, Sixth Brother said, "Sure, let's switch places in the next life. I'll let you be my husband and let me bully you for the rest of your life. Are you willing?"
The tone of his voice was so gentle and doting that it melted my heart.
But I still said, "Forget it, I'll be your wife in the next life and continue to bully you. I don't want to be bullied."
Sixth Brother: “…”

My sixth brother and I always have endless things to talk about every day. After so many years together, we still have a lot to talk about. We can talk about everything from the world to the ways of the world, and we can talk until our mouths are dry.
One night before going to bed, we were chatting, and in the middle of the conversation, I suddenly said, "Baby, you must live a long life!"
Sixth Brother: "Why do you say that suddenly?"
I said, "I'm really afraid that you'll leave me one day. I can't imagine living alone. Anyway, if you leave in the future, I'll just go with you."
Sixth Brother: "...You're only thirty years old. Can you please stop talking like we're both going to be buried?"
"You have to live longer than me anyway," I insisted. "I really don't want to live without you."
Sixth Brother shook his head, held my hand and said to me, "Then we must live a hundred years together, and remain close friends even when we are old ladies and old men."
I always have a lot of messy thoughts before going to bed. Sometimes I feel that human life is so short. Once you die and close your eyes, there will be nothing left. Everything you once had will turn into dust and disappear.
So whenever I think about the day when my Sixth Brother is no longer by my side and I am left alone in the world, I will be very, very sad.
Whenever this happens, I tell myself that since life is so short, I must spend every day of the rest of my life happily and wonderfully with my Sixth Brother, and I must live up to this life.
I must live with the one I love, do the job I like, write the stories I like, become the person I like, and treat well everyone I like and who likes me.
So, my dear readers, I want to play with you, whom I love, for a long, long time.
I hope that every year in the future, I can tell you here with such a sense of ceremony that my sixth brother and I are living a very happy and happy life. Thank you for your company and witnessing, and I also hope that you can be happy and happy.
May we all be children surrounded by love.
