Tianxiong and Zhibing

On New Year's Eve, Luo Zhibing went to the supermarket ahead of time to buy a bunch of delicious food, planning to spend the night eating while watching the Spring Festival Gala.Who knows, just a few minutes after the Spring Festival Gala started, he regretted it a little. In this empty city, people feel more and more insecure.So, I went out and took a taxi to the Blue Bar.

I thought there was no atmosphere in the bar. As the Spring Festival approached, some customers had left, but who knew there were many lonely souls still standing firm.Luo Zhibing found a place to sit down, ordered a glass of whiskey, listened to dynamic music, and drank foreign wine. At this time, wine can anesthetize oneself, and music can make people stay out of the world.

"Did you come alone?" A well-dressed young man came over to strike up a conversation. Luo Zhibing glanced at him. He was quite strong, but not the type he liked, so he answered a few words casually. Uninteresting, it disappears.

After a while, a well-mannered man came, holding a wine glass in his left hand and wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. According to Luo Zhibing's judgment, he was Taiwanese.Because, the wine glass in his hand is basically empty, but he is not in a hurry to order another glass. Taiwanese people are very calculating at any time.

"Can I sit for a while?"

"Casual" Luo Zhibing glanced at this man, he should be of the same age, but Taiwanese men are good at dressing up, and usually appear younger than their actual age.

"I'm Taiwanese, just call me Jason"

"I'm Peter"

"It's a pleasure to meet you, it's a pleasure to meet you, why don't you go home for the New Year's Eve?"

"I don't have a home, so I have nowhere to go. How about you, why don't you go back to Taiwan?"

"I'm most afraid of Chinese New Year. It's hard to explain when I go back to Taiwan. Don't you have a girlfriend yet?"

"So that's the way it is, running away from marriage"

"That's right"

"Didn't you say that gay culture in Taiwan is very open, why would you care about that?"

"My family is from the southern region, where people are more conservative"

"Oh, in the south, I only know that there is Kaohsiung in the south"

"Yes, I am from Kaohsiung"

"How old are you?"

"Just 40 years old"

"Oh, I really can't see it. Taiwanese people just look young. I think you are no more than 35 years old."

"Have it?"

There was a smug smile on the face of the Taiwanese, as if he was more willing to accept compliments from others, no matter if it was genuine or fake.

"What line of work do you do?" the Taiwanese asked

"I work as a teacher in an English training center, mainly teaching adults who take TOEFL or IELTS"

"That's not bad. When I was studying in the United States, I also taught English to the local Chinese, but after returning to Taiwan, I entered the manufacturing industry and gradually fell into disrepair."

"What do you do in manufacturing?"

"I work at Foxconn, managing electronic parts, dealing with a group of migrant workers every day"

"There is nothing wrong with migrant workers, don't underestimate them"

"Yeah, it's hard to recruit workers now. Migrant workers are very popular. Many factories here have also closed down, and they all have to move to the mainland."

"If you moved to the mainland, would you follow?"

"I have no choice, I should go"

"Taiwanese are just obedient. If they were from the mainland, they would have quit a long time ago."

After speaking, everyone smiled.Later, Luo Zhibing also forgot what he had talked with this Taiwanese, so he pieced it together, talking about their respective lives in the United States for a while, and discussing the current economic crisis for a while, but rarely talked about their relationship.Anyway, on a night like this, it's nice to have someone to talk to.The music in the bar became louder after ten o'clock. The Taiwanese suggested to sit outside, so Luo Zhibing followed him and left the Blue Bar together.

He said he was going to sit outside, and before he knew it, he came to the Taiwanese residence, and Luo Zhibing entered the room obediently, without thinking about the consequences.Probably under the influence of alcohol, coupled with such an ambiguous atmosphere, it is normal for something to happen accidentally.

Entering the room, Luo Zhibing took off his coat and wore a thin dark purple woolen sweater. The Taiwanese man also took off his coat and changed into a light blue casual suit with cartoons printed on it. The image doesn't match his age.Luo Zhibing turned on the TV. The Spring Festival Gala wasn't over yet, but it was drawing to a close.The Taiwanese man poured Luo Zhibing a cup of hot water, and Luo Zhibing took two sips before the man rushed over and kissed Luo Zhibing's face with his mouth, making Luo Zhibing unprepared.

"Shall we talk again?" Luo Zhibing asked

"What are you talking about, hurry up, I can't wait"

After entering the bedroom, just as they were about to conduct an actual offensive and defensive battle, Luo Zhibing's cell phone rang, and it was Wang Tianxiong calling.

Wang Tianxiong wanted to congratulate Luo Zhibing on the first day of the new year. When Luo Zhibing answered the phone, the Taiwanese man's mouth was still moving, which made him very embarrassed and had to push the Taiwanese man away with his hands.

"Happy New Year! What are you doing?" There was a familiar and friendly voice on the other end of the phone, and Wang Tianxiong was very sincere.

"Me, it's nothing. I'm watching the Spring Festival Gala?"

"That's right, did you eat dumplings tonight? I sent you several messages in one night, but you didn't reply to me"

"Is there, maybe it's too noisy, I didn't see it"

"I was afraid that you would be lonely, so I called you"

"Thank you, how are you at home?"

"Everything is fine for me. I am very happy with my parents and daughter. I just miss you a little. If you can come to our house to celebrate the New Year, it will be perfect."

"What's the matter with me going to your house? How do you explain it to your parents?"

"Just say it's my wife"

"Think beautifully"

After hanging up Wang Tianxiong's phone call, Luo Zhibing suddenly realized that his behavior had exceeded the bottom line. No matter how the Taiwanese man begged, he still dressed neatly and left the Taiwanese man's residence.Outside the window, I could hear the sound of firecrackers coming from the villages in the city. The new year really came, and everyone was celebrating something.There were not many people on the street, and there were not many vehicles. Luo Zhibing walked alone on the road, with an elongated figure under the street lights.

Back in the room, it was already two o'clock in the morning, Luo Zhibing lit a cigarette, thinking about his future with Wang Tianxiong.He hadn't smoked a cigarette for a long time, but tonight he felt a craving for one somehow.It just so happened that there was a Fu Rong Wang in the room that Wang Tianxiong planned to take home, but he forgot to bring it, so he unwrapped it and lit one.

In these years, although he and Wang Tianxiong haven't experienced too many separations and reunions, nor have they had any quarrels, and their sex life is quite harmonious, but they haven't seriously discussed love between them.Several times, Luo Zhibing wanted to know what Wang Tianxiong was thinking, so he asked him whether he loved him or not.Wang Tianxiong sang "You ask me how much I love you, the moon represents my heart", just like others. Luo Zhibing was quite moved at first, but later, when he sang the same song a few times, it seemed artificial.

I remember one night before the New Year, after they finished their work, they lay in bed and chatted.

Luo Zhibing asked: "Ah Xiong, do you think our relationship is love?"

"Why not? I love you very much"

"Then do you know, do I love you or not?"

"This, I never thought about it, anyway, whether you love me or not, I will love you"

"Am I that good?"

"Yes, I just like you, having sex with you a hundred times, still feels fresh"

"Can your understanding of a person reach a new height? Why every time I talk to you, the final foothold is focused on sex. We will all be old and unable to do it anymore. Don't tell me you don't love me anymore ?”

"That won't happen. Anyway, you are doing 0. The key is that I can't grow old, or I will definitely be thrown away by you."

"I'm telling you the truth, don't interrupt me"

"Okay, go ahead"

"Actually, a person like me, who loves vanity, has cheated people, and has been in prison, is not worthy of your cherishment. You have such a good personality, which is really rare."

"How do you say this, as long as I think you are good in my heart, I don't mind what you have done outside. You know, I came from a small place, and after I have true feelings for someone , you won’t change your mind again. In the past few years, you have experienced ups and downs, how I treat you, you should be clear in your heart, right?”

"I know it very well, so when I think about cheating, there will be a voice in my heart reminding me that I can't do this, and I can still see your terrible face"

"is this real?"

"Of course I lied to you"

Regarding the issue of love, Wang Tianxiong is very dull. He thinks that having Luo Zhibing in his life is enough, and he doesn't want to possess another person, and he can't handle complicated interpersonal relationships.It is different for Luo Zhibing, he has too many chances to have sex around him, and he often walks by the river, and it is inevitable that his shoes will not get wet, so for him, his resistance must be strengthened.

By the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Wang Tianxiong had already rushed back from his hometown. As soon as he entered the door, he hugged Luo Zhibing and kissed him. He even touched Luo Zhibing's buttocks and said, "Miss me?"

"Are you asking me, or my ass?"

"Ask all"

"Crazy, I don't think it's disgusting. I didn't miss you, but I occasionally thought about that place."

"What? Such important information, why don't you send me a text message to tell me, otherwise I will be back the day before yesterday"

"Why are you back?"

"Come back and fuck you"

"Shameless guy, you are already the child's father, so be more careful when you speak in the future"

"What is this, old couple, you are still embarrassed, I will go take a bath right away, and come to comfort you"

"You're too rascal, beyond redemption"

At night, the sound of the waves was still there, Luo Zhibing felt Wang Tianxiong, and had a wonderful night.
