Your Distance

This year of the fateful year is true.

On the thirty-sixth birthday, Professor Bai Tai learned what it means to be middle-aged. There are old, young and young, and life is difficult.

Ting Shuang, a fearless little cub, went out to eat at home from noon to morning, and the mouth of the complaint never stopped. For a while, "he always scared me by the professor's shelf", and for a while, "he said that if I could not pass the exam in early August He wouldn't take me out for the autumn vacation, and he would leave me alone at home. "

Bai Changyi has lived for 36 years and has received criticism and education less than a day today.

In the afternoon, Professor Bai Da thought that with his parents and Ting Shuang, the little cub, would go shopping, drive a car, and carry a bag. It would never cause any disaster. This year is the year of your fate, aren't you going to the beach to play in the autumn vacation, everyone buy a big red swimming trunk.

"I have swimming trunks." Park Chang turned his eyes away.

Ting Shuang was also unwilling to wear red swimming trunks, so she shied away: "I also--" "He didn't," said Bo Changyi.

Oh shit.

Ting Shuang was so angry that he didn't want to wear red swimming trunks alone.

He turned his eyes, and said to Su Ping very well: "Aunt ... I want to wear a couple's swimming trunks with Changyi."

Park Changyi: "..."

Five minutes later, Bo Changyi had an extra shopping bag in his hand, which contained two tight red swimming trunks of different sizes and styles.

After shopping for an afternoon, Ting Shuang harvested a pair of red swimming trunks and could wear at least three new autumn clothes, while Bo Changyi only harvested a pair of red swimming trunks.

In the evening, Su Ping and Bai Zhongyan were going back to Berlin. Before leaving, Su Ping pulled Ting Shuang to speak alone.

The two of them walked to a sculpture fountain. Not far away, a street artist was playing a guitar and singing a German folk song "The Last Night".

Flowing water. Flick the strings. The singing is strong.

The lyrics sing: "You are my treasure, you will always be my treasure ..."

"Tingting." Su Ping sat on a stone bench next to the fountain, and the sun shone through the wrinkles in her eyes, her new long white hair, and her innocence.

"Um." Ting Shuang sat beside her.

"In the past two or three years, I am most happy today." Su Ping said with a smile, "Chang Yi can meet you, it is really good luck."

"No, no ..." Ting Shuang shook his head again and again, feeling that he could not stand such a big compliment, "I can really meet him, I'm really lucky ... I mean it, not a lecturer Rhetoric. "

"I'm not talking, either." Su Ping glanced at Bai Changyi waiting under the tree in the distance. "My son, I know the advantages and disadvantages. I have been worried that he has no concerns and no life. enthusiasm."

No passion for life?

Ting Shuang didn't quite understand: "Auntie, I don't think he has no passion for life ... I think he especially lives, he cooks all kinds of food, and learns new dishes almost every week. We sometimes talk to When Vico went for a walk, he took a drone to take a picture, which was particularly good. We also bought seeds and planted red berries and blueberries in the yard. He grew better than mine ... ... "

Su Ping has been smiling and listening to Tingshuang, the more he heard the smile: "He wasn't like this before. He would always take care of people, that's right, but that's because he asked himself to be a gentleman. If you have met him before You will know the difference. Changyi is ... too clever, he has determined the focus of his life very early, and then do all the rest as things like eating and sleeping-not interested, but must Do it. Like today, shopping with someone, he would do it before, but he has never been so happy. "

Ting Shuang suddenly remembered the feeling of emptyness and neatness in the house when she went to the Bo Changyi home for the first time.

After they lived together, the contents of the house grew little by little. Ting Shuang sometimes feels like she's messing up the house, but now she thinks it's actually fireworks.

"Tingting, many people think that Changyi is doing well. They are very envious of him, want to be him, or want their children to be him." Su Ping's eyes have become a little darker, "The truth is, if you admire him , Like him, admiring him, then you want him to succeed, but if you love him, then you want him to be happy. I don't know if he told you some of his thoughts ... maybe not, he has passed to others He talks about ideal age. He sees universities too romantically and ideally. Perhaps in this life, most of the universities in the world will not become what he wants. Or, I am more pessimistic, and the world will not Into what he wants. He has had a lot of achievements at this age, but he seems to have a too high goal. I was thinking, if he ca n’t reach that goal, will he regret it many years later? Wouldn't you be upset? "

"He told me this ..." Ting Shuang went to see Bai Changyi in the distance. Bai Changyi took a sip of the cold drink he had drank before. It seemed to be too sweet. He frowned and did not continue drinking. "I can understand him. The people who are at the forefront are different. Others will say that they are impractical. But ... the actual people make up the existing world, and the unreal people can create a new world. There are always a few people. If they are understood, they are not the ones who are ahead. "

"He would be willing to say this." Su Ping was slightly surprised, but after that, she felt that Bo Chang should have talked to Ting Shuang.

"It wasn't what he said ... I happened to ask him." Ting Shuang laughed. "I'm stupid. If I don't ask, I don't know what he's thinking. If I don't know, I'll keep asking, he still Quite ... patient, willing to tell me every time. I have thought about this for a long time, and I would like to talk about my views ... Maybe it is wrong. Just, I do n’t think it ’s too ideal or too ideal. It ’s impractical and too out of step with history. All those who lead the trend do n’t follow the trend, they are the trend itself. Those who are led, wait for the trend to come, and then follow the trend. Aunt ... Although he is older than me He was more than ten years old, but sometimes, I think he just lived his youth. Many people ... get old early. "

Su Ping thought about it and said, "I don't understand him or disrespect him. I just don't want him to have a career. A career needs a result, but people only have countless moments. I want him to be happy every minute and every second. . "

"I also hope that he is happy every minute and every second." Ting Shuang smiled, a little shy, "I will make him happy every minute and every second."

Under the setting sun, the fountain is flowing, and the wandering artist is still singing his song: "Eternal life, infinite happiness and joy, please have it all, and I pray for it thousands of times."

Ting Shuang stood up from the stone bench, looked back at Su Ping, and ran to Bai Changyi.

"happy Birthday!"
