On how abusive essays become sweet essays

You Xuzhi walked to the door of Zhang Zuidong's house, and saw someone wandering in front of his house, before he approached, the person had already seen him, paused for a moment, and trotted over.

"Master You." Pu Pingle greeted with a light breath.

Usually, he didn't realize that You Xuzhi hadn't looked for him during this period of time, so he suddenly felt that there was a lot of difference. He hadn't seen You Xuzhi for a long time, and he felt uneasy, so he wanted to test it out.

"Why are you all wet?"

You Xuzhi: "It fell into the river."

He walked in a hurry, and he didn't go back to look for his shoes. Now that he stopped, he felt stones under his feet.

Pu Pingle replied "Oh" awkwardly, and then he hesitated to speak all over his face. The white and clean scholar's face was pleasing to the eye, and even a sad expression would not destroy the beauty.

"Why are you here?" You Xuzhi asked him.

Pu Pingle seemed to have just thought of it, took out an invitation card from his arms, and said: "Jiang Yan in the village is going to get married at the beginning of next month, I will help send an invitation card."

"Oh?" You Xuzhi took the invitation from him, glanced at it twice, and said, "Let me hand over the invitation to him for you, you go down the mountain first, it's getting late, and it's dangerous on the mountain if it's late."

Pu Pingle felt something was wrong.

He raised his eyes and asked, "What about you?"

You Xuzhi laughed: "I am different from your thin arms and legs, so don't worry about me."

Pu Pingle licked his lower lip, and asked cautiously: "Master You, why haven't you come to see me recently? But why did I make you unhappy?"

"It's nothing." You Xuzhi didn't pay attention to him, threw his wet hair behind his head, and said, "Don't think too much, I was too presumptuous in the past and never asked your wishes carefully, but now I have seen myself clearly Sincerely, I will not force your things from now on."

Pu Pingle's lips parted slightly, and he looked at You Xuzhi in disbelief. The meaning of his words could not be clearer, and Pu Pingle would not fail to understand the meaning.

He slowed down, and laughed at himself: "I never thought, it turns out that Young Master You only took me for fun, anyway, since Young Master You has seen his own intentions clearly—"

He paused, and said: "It's Pingle who doesn't know what is good or bad, and mistakenly thinks that Young Master You is a good man, and then delusional..."

He clicked to the end, turned around and staggered, like a person who has been let down, his back was full of heartbreak.

You Xuzhi looked at his back, stroked his hair, shook his head and sighed: "I treated you well before, and I didn't see you treat me better, it's a pity..."

It's a pity that the money is gone.

He looked down at the wedding invitation in his hand, the line of his lips was evened out, and when the wind blew, the wet clothes seemed to be cold to the flesh and blood.

In the book, on the day Pu Pingle plotted against Zhang Zuidong, after drinking the wedding wine that night, Zhang Zuidong got drunk. Pu Pingle said to send him home, and then the two rolled together that night.

You Xuzhi sneezed and rubbed his hair.

What do you think.

……

Zhang Zuidong came back half an hour late, and You Xuzhi had already boiled water to take a shower. In the evening, Zhang Zuidong asked him to eat, and he walked out of the room.

Seeing him, Zhang Zuidong looked away a little uncomfortable, sat at the table and straightened his clothes, hiding half of his body in the dark.

You Xuzhi noticed his discomfort, and felt at ease instead. He sat on the other side and said, "Pu Pingle has been here."

Zhang Zuidong: "..."

Seeing that he didn't respond, You Xuzhi continued, "I'll send you an invitation. Someone in your village is getting married. I'll leave the invitation there."

"I see." Zhang Zuidong said.

"Oh..." You Xuzhi slowed down, fiddled with the rice in the bowl, but he didn't really have much appetite, "Well, don't take the matter by the river too seriously, it's nothing."

Every word seemed to jump on Zhang Zuidong's nerves, Zhang Zuidong squeezed his chopsticks tightly, and said in a calm voice, "It's nothing?"

"I used to go shopping with...just my friends, and I have seen a lot." You Xuzhi explained, "Don't alienate me because of this, I never do things that are difficult for others."

Hearing the second half of his sentence, the depression in Zhang Zuidong's heart suddenly dissipated.

"Got it, let's eat."

Seeing that this explanation was useful, You Xuzhi continued to insist: "Besides, they are all men. Who doesn't have a...time, right? You don't know, but in Qingyue Tower, they played so hot back then. Do you want to hear it?"

Zhang Zuidong's face darkened: "I don't want to, let's eat."

You Xuzhi: "..."

Why is he so angry again, the more you get along with him, the more You Xuzhi can't figure out his mind.

The next day, You Xuzhi also received an invitation card. Jiang Yan's family is the son of the head of the village. He has a personality similar to Zhang Zuidong's. He is an honest person, but he is much more cheerful than Zhang Zuidong, and he is also talkative. Cool, the big dark-skinned guy smiled so hard that his teeth couldn't see.

You Xuzhi is also dipped in the light, begging for a glass of wedding wine.

The injury on his head is almost healed, and there are no sequelae. Zhang Zuidong didn't drive him away, and he didn't mention it. After that night, Zhang Zuidong didn't seem to be angry with him. I feel that the atmosphere is not right.

If you are angry, this temper is really long.

At this time, there was a problem with his business in the town. When he left with his horse, Zhang Zuidong was not at home, so he left a letter and left.

So that day, when Zhang Zuidong came back, what he saw was a piece of paper stuck in a tree next to the chicken coop, with two words written on it in a flowing manner.

【gone】

For these two words, You Xuzhi wrote half a stick of incense.

He originally wanted to explain the reason, but he stopped writing, crossed it out again, and wasted several sheets of paper. He wanted to write "Don't read", but he thought that he really made him miss him, and he felt uncomfortable, so he finally wrote After writing and writing, only these two words were left.

Time flies by in the blink of an eye.

The night was thick, with a bright moon hanging high in the sky. In the silent night, only the sound of watchmen and gongs and drums was left. You Xuzhi returned home and slept in his own room, but he tossed and turned all night, unable to fall asleep no matter what. .

Three days later, it will be time for the Jiang family to hold a wedding. He actually went back during this time. Zhang Zuidong was not there at that time. He went in and saw the room he slept in, which was full of sundries. The bedding was also put away, and he kicked the door angrily, hurt his toe, and ran back again.

Later in the town, he also saw Zhang Zuidong who came to the market to sell things. He was the same as usual, but he didn't know why. When he didn't see him, he wanted to see him again. Seeing him living a good life, he felt suffocated.

annoying.

You Xuzhi pulled the quilt over his head, heaved a long sigh of relief, turned over and sat up, went to get a bottle of wine, and went up to the roof to watch the moon.

Strange, he was actually affected by a little hunter.

The moonlight was very beautiful tonight, You Xuzhi leaned on the roof, gesticulating with his fingertips, and drank wine in sips.

"Little Orion's butt is really up." You Xuzhi murmured, "It's so pretty..."

After drinking, You Xuzhi couldn't remember how he got down from the roof and back to the room, and his sanity had already drifted away.

Drunk all night, haunted by sweet dreams.

You Xuzhi woke up early in the morning and stared at the bed curtain in a daze. After a long time, he pulled out of the dream.

……

He is finished.

-

Jiangjiafang.

Early in the morning, Jiang Yan's house became lively, beating gongs and drums to welcome the relatives, and the guests came one after another, all the way past were filled with the smell of firecrackers.

You Xuzhi followed the ceremony and went inside. He scanned around, but he didn't see Zhang Zuidong, and Pu Pingle wasn't there either. You Xuzhi was sitting in the corner drinking tea.

At the end, he saw the figures of those two people—they came in together.

Zhang Zuidong also saw him, their eyes collided, and they separated tacitly.

But after a while, You Xuzhi looked over again, and saw Zhang Zuidong was talking to Pu Pingle with his head tilted. He didn't know what he said, and the two were talking and laughing.

Pu Pingle seemed to feel You Xuzhi's gaze, and turned to look at him, his eyes dimmed a little, and his smile became much lighter.

Feeling the change in his mood, Zhang Zuidong looked at You Xuzhi again, sweeping across his body openly.

Thin.

You Xuzhi didn't look at them, he was eating melon seeds, a little distracted.

His family taught him to be a gentleman, and he was determined not to do things that took what others liked and forced others to do.

It's just a dream, it doesn't count.

You Xuzhi looked down at the ground, and after a while, there was another person in front of him, "Master You."

He looked up, and Pu Pingle stood in front of him and smiled. There was a sense of weakness and strength in that smile, like a small white flower in the wind, which would wither when it came to rain.

"You are here too."

"Yeah." You Xuzhi finished eating melon seeds and clapped his hands.

Pu Pingle didn't say anything, just exchanged a few pleasantries, You Xuzhi didn't see Zhang Zuidong, and pretended to ask casually, Pu Pingle said that he went to help behind.

Seeing that he was silent again, Pu Pingle bit his lips unwillingly, and talked to him as if nothing had happened. You Xuzhi lost his mind, and occasionally responded with "um" and "oh", waiting for Pu Pingle to respond. After leaving, he couldn't even recall what Pu Pingle said just now.

The bride and groom worshiped heaven and earth, the bride was helped into the new house, and most of the day was so busy.

At the beginning of the banquet, You Xuzhi, Zhang Zuidong and Pu Pingle sat at the same table. Pu Pingle sat in the middle, with You Xuzhi on the right and Zhang Zuidong on the left. You Xuzhi said a few words, busy like a butterfly collecting honey.

You Xuzhi talked very little today, he listened attentively to the conversations of the two people beside him, Zhang Zuidong on the other side talked even less, You Xuzhi poured a glass of wine into the glass, his heart seemed to be immersed in cold water, refreshing himself Yes, my thoughts were messed up.

The person on his right went to toast the groom, Zhang Zuidong got up and went to fetch a bowl of rice and came back, casually sat on the right side of You Xuzhi, and put a bowl of rice in front of him.

"Eat some food, you'll get drunk just by drinking." Her calm voice was like a clear spring in a mountain.

It was obviously messy and noisy here, but You Xuzhi could hear his voice very clearly.

"Oh." You Xuzhi responded, and said politely, "Thank you."

Zhang Zuidong paused for a moment, then ate vegetables as if nothing had happened.

You Xuzhi's feeling at this moment is like eating a green fruit, sour and astringent, but after the aftertaste, he wants to take another bite.

He lowered his gaze, and saw the knuckles on his right hand. The pads of the fingers should be a little callused, rough to the touch, but very comfortable.

You Xuzhi's Adam's apple rolled, feeling thirsty, and drank another glass of wine.

The table was full of old men, everyone drank wine with each other, even Pu Pingle drank two glasses, and everyone at the table became drunk.

"Young Master You, I offer you a toast." Pu Pingle suddenly turned to him and said.

You Xuzhi licked his lips, squinted his eyes and stared at him for a while, raised his wine glass to touch him, drank it in one gulp, and looked at Pu Pingle again, he only took a sip, his gentle appearance was out of place here .

Good-looking is good-looking, but You Xuzhi can't remember what mood he was in when he first pursued him.

Pu Pingle added wine for You Xuzhi, when You Xuzhi picked up the wine glass, his right leg was touched suddenly, he looked down, Zhang Zuidong's leg was stretched under his leg, he looked up Zhang Zuidong, Zhang Zuidong didn't respond, and was still drinking with others.

Pu Pingle: "Master You, today is a good day, let's have another drink."

You Xuzhi's calf was hooked by Zhang Zuidong, his hand shook, and some wine spilled out.

"Young Master You?" Pu Ping was happy to see You Xuzhi's strange expression, without any doubts.

"It's okay." You Xuzhi said, he didn't know if Zhang Zuidong was unintentional, or... deliberate, his spirit after walking for a day recovered a little.

He tilted his head with a coquettish smile, raised his eyebrows and said, "You respect me, you only drink so much, it's not appropriate."

"Master You..."

You Xuzhi's leg was bumped lightly, this time the feeling was clearer than the previous two times, he glanced at Zhang Zuidong from the corner of his eye, Zhang Zuidong held a wine glass to his mouth, his eyes were cold, and his emotions were more exposed than usual, You Xuzhi Xu Zhi can clearly feel that he is not happy.

The side of his waist was lightly pinched, You Xuzhi was unprepared, straightened up immediately, took a breath, he blinked, his throat was dry, and he swallowed slightly.

...Damn it, it's so hard to be a gentleman.
