The daily life of the Analects and Tao Te Ching

April 7

sunny

I don't know what's wrong with me, it's already time for me to go to bed, but I'm tossing and turning in bed, unable to fall asleep no matter what.

I originally wanted to continue writing in yesterday's diary, but I accidentally glanced at the time, and it was past midnight.

After twelve o'clock, it should be considered a new day, right?

To be honest, Kong Lun's performance yesterday was really strange, he was always taken aback.

Sometimes he obviously has something to say, but when I ask him, he hesitates to speak.

Since the guy was staring at me like a thief yesterday, I never had a chance to take a sneak shot of him.

He looked so cute eating the cake yesterday!

When chewing things, his cheeks are bulging, like a fluffy little hamster that can be held in the palm of his hand.

Because of my own imagination, I couldn't help showing an idiot-like smile.

I suddenly thought of the "The Analects of Confucius" I bought online before, and carefully took it off the shelf.

The night was getting dark, in order not to disturb Kong Lun, I adjusted the brightness of the desk lamp to the darkest.

It is precisely because of this that the two big characters "The Analects of Confucius" on the cover look more and more conspicuous.

"Confucius theory..."

I lightly touched the words on the cover with my fingers, and whispered the name of the book spirit behind the book.

At the beginning, everyone had no names, and everyone called each other by the name of the book.

Until one day, a book spirit accidentally came to the world, and found that everyone there has a name and a surname.

The surname represents their family inheritance, and the first name is their own characteristics.

Adding the first name to the last name not only allows others to see what you are wearing at a glance, but also distinguishes each other simply and clearly.

In this way, the book spirits in the world of book spirits also started to make "names".

I'm fine, after all, I'm the only copy of the "Tao Te Ching" in the world, and there are no upper and lower parts.

But in order to catch up with the trend, I also gave myself a human name.

Lao Dan's surname is Li, and I and his surname are naturally also surnamed Li.

The core of the whole text of "Tao Te Ching" is the word "Tao".

In this way, when someone asked me about it, I naturally said the name "Li Dao".

After a while, I heard that "The Analects" also gave itself a name, and it was somewhat similar to mine.

My name is Li Dao, and his name is Kong Lun.

At that time, I didn't know him well, but many book spirits guessed that the two of us were good friends.

My "Tao" is the "Tao" of the Taoist school, and it is also the "Tao Te Ching" and the core argument.

If he really wants to imitate, it should also be called "Confucianism" instead of "Confucianism"!

This question has troubled me for a long time. Later, after getting familiar with it, I once asked him about it. He thought about it and replied: "There are too many books in the Confucian system. Before me, there was the 'Six Classics'." ’, even in the 'Four Books', "University" ranks ahead of me... To be honest, I really can't bear the word "Confucianism"."

According to him, the word "discussion" is obviously more suitable for him.

"The Analects of Confucius" itself is a quotation style, and the core lies in the word "Lun", and "Lun" is the first word of "The Analects".

"I can't guarantee the word 'Confucianism', but I'm sure no one will grab the word 'Lun'." He laughed.

In fact, I wanted to ask him at that time if he was influenced by me in choosing such a name, but I was afraid that I was being self-indulgent.

Everyone is a book spirit at the same time, why can't others think of something that I can think of?

However, since both of us are well-known characters in the book spirit world, everyone basically followed this routine when they named us.

For example, the book spirit of "The Classic of Tea" named himself "Lu Cha", and the book spirit of "Tiangong Kaiwu" was called "Song Tiangong".

Of course, due to incomplete transmission, some ancient books simply do not remember where they came from.

In such a situation, people usually select one or two words from the title of the book or the title of the chapter, and call them by name.

For example, the name of "Book of Changes" has only one word "Yi", but when people call him to show kindness, they often call him "Old Yi".

Whenever this time, he always said that the other party was calling us two, because "Tao Te Ching" has an alias called "Lao Zi"...

Later, under my repeated protests, everyone gradually changed their mouths and stopped calling him "Lao Yi", but some people couldn't change, such as that guy Kong Lun.

In this way, sometimes it was obviously a gathering within the Confucianism, and because he called out "Old Yi", that guy Yi would drag me to go with him, and said that I also accepted the invitation.

As you can imagine, I was extremely embarrassed every time.

A few times I wanted to get angry with Kong Lun, but every time he had a good attitude of admitting his mistakes and kept repeating words of apology.

And he stayed with me almost the whole time to avoid embarrassing me.

Thinking about it carefully, Kong Lun probably likes me a little too, right?Otherwise, he doesn't need to do it at all.

I opened "The Analects of Confucius", intending to start reading from "Xue Er".

At this moment, there was a sudden noise at the door, which startled me.

Is Kong Lun still up so late?

I thought he was getting up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, but when he heard the sound, he seemed to be walking towards me.

I immediately closed "The Analects of Confucius", turned off the desk lamp, and rushed to the bed with lightning speed, covered my head with the quilt, and dared not even breathe out.

My hearing was sharpened by the darkness before my eyes.

After Kong Lun came to the door, he hesitated for a moment, opened the door gently and walked in.

What is he doing looking for me in the middle of the night?

I quietly lifted the quilt a little bit and peeked at him through the gap in the quilt.

The night is beautiful today, the soft moonlight shines on Kong Lun like a dream, he really looks like an elf.

"Aren't you going to bed so late?" He asked suddenly.

Is he talking to me?

I pretended I didn't hear and ignored him.

"Is it my illusion... just now I clearly saw a light in the crack of the door." I heard him mutter.

He seemed to glance in my direction, and I quickly closed my eyes.

"Sleep really deep." He seemed to mutter such a sentence.

After some time, I finally heard the sound of Kong Lun leaving.

I lifted the quilt covering my head and let out a long sigh of relief.

Having said that, he was the one who broke into my room in the middle of the night, so why am I feeling guilty?

I shook my head, got up and walked to the window.

Although it was late at night, the outside was still brightly lit.

I suddenly found a set of lit mosquito coils in the corner of the window sill.

So Kong Lun sneaked in in the middle of the night just to light mosquito coils for me?

I can't tell what mood I am in, I feel happy and a little bit lost.

It might be a little strange to say that, but at that moment, I had the thought "if only he had done something else".

I didn't know who to share my mood with at the moment, so I posted what happened tonight on Weibo.

Originally, I just wanted to find a place to confide, but I didn’t expect so many people to be awake, and the notification tone of the mobile phone kept ringing “Ding Ding”, which scared me and immediately turned the mobile phone to silent mode.

"Everyone has taken the initiative to throw themselves into their arms!!!!!!!!! Brother, can you do it?!"

"Fuck?! Do you want to be so innocent!!!"

"I finally know what it means to hate iron but fail to make steel QUQ"

"Actually, you are the one who got fucked →_→"

"Come on!!!!!! What a great opportunity!!!!!!!!!"

"Even if you don't take the opportunity to fall, at least let him know that you take everything seriously! What the hell is pretending to be asleep?"

"Actually, there is a remedy. You ask him tomorrow morning what he did in your room in the middle of the night, and whether his butt is itchy, and his tone must be tough!"

It's too blatant to say that!

And Kong Lun kindly came to help me light mosquito coils, is it really okay for me to humiliate him like this?

"Big brother! Please wake up! Who would go to a roommate's room to light mosquito coils in the middle of the night?!"

"Uh... This is obviously an excuse. If you find out, he can use this as an excuse."

"Little cutie, did you just come out of the deep mountains and old forests?"

"They're all thousand-year-old foxes, so don't pretend to be innocent here."

"It's not a fox, it's a book spirit." I corrected.

"Whatever it is! Pick up the long | gun and charge forward!"

"Really, if I have a big diao, I want to rush over to give the blogger a personal guide. QUQ is now blue boy paper so innocent?!"

The discussion on Weibo is still going on, but I can't see it at all.

Am I really wrong?

To be honest, just now Kong Lun had no defense at all. If I really took the opportunity to pounce on the opponent as they said, the chance of success is still very high.

But what about after falling?

I looked at the light smoke curling up from the mosquito coils, and sighed melancholy.

Anyway, let's go to bed first... maybe after waking up, I will have ideas?

Those people are right. The Tao Te Ching is indeed a book that is good at avoiding problems.

On the second day, I originally planned to ask him why he went to my room last night as the netizen said.

But after seeing him, my mind went blank for an instant, and I completely forgot about the bossy demeanor.

"Did you go to my room last night?" I asked.

Logically speaking, my reaction should be more intense.But because he was too nervous, it should be a questioning tone, but when he said it, he seemed to be asking him "what's for dinner this morning".

"Ah...you were indeed awake at that time." He said.

For some reason, I always felt a little lost in his tone.

Is it true that as netizens analyzed, he went to find me in the middle of the night to throw himself in his arms?

He is not such a casual person!

"I feel... After I woke up in the morning, I felt that someone had come to the room." I pursed my lips and said.

Feel like a yarn?This is not convincing at all!

I took a deep breath and added: "Also... I found a burnt mosquito coil on the windowsill."

I looked at him with piercing eyes, hoping he could give me a reasonable explanation.

This guy can't be said to be the mosquito coil I ordered for myself during sleepwalking in the middle of the night, right?

"There were mosquitoes last night," he said.

I waited for him to continue, but he turned away to do other things.

Is this the end of the explanation?

To be honest, I am not satisfied with his explanation.

"Then why did you go to my room to light mosquito coils in the middle of the night?" I continued to ask.

Kong Lun thought for a while, then asked, "Will you wake up in the middle of the night to light mosquito coils?"

I subconsciously shook my head.

"I also don't think you can, so I put a plate in your room by the way." He said, "What do you think is the reason?"

I didn't think too much about it at first, but when I heard him ask this question suddenly, those indescribable pictures that netizens said suddenly appeared in my mind.

I was probably crazy yesterday, but I actually felt that what they said made sense QUQ

"Nothing, just asking casually." I said.

To change the subject, I asked Kong Lun what he talked about when he met Nanhua.

He was drinking water, but he choked himself when he heard my question, and coughed violently.

"Are you okay?" I asked, patting his back.

He shook his hand, his face looking bright red.

"No, it's okay, I just chatted with him casually." He said.

I feel that he is a little nervous, but I don't understand what he is nervous about.

Could it be that he and Nanhua talked about some strange topic?

I recalled it carefully, and these two guys didn't have much contact with each other, and the only common topic they could talk about was probably me.

Could it be that the two of them are secretly complaining about me behind my back?

I looked at Kong Lun meaningfully, that guy seemed to be more nervous.

It seems that my guess is close to ten...

"Don't worry, I'm not such a stingy person." I said.

"Eh?" Kong Lun's expression was a little surprised.

"Isn't there such a saying in "The Analects of Confucius"? A gentleman is magnanimous, and a villain is a gentleman." I said, "Just treat me as a gentleman."

I know that I am not easy to get along with sometimes, but I hope Kong Lun can bring it up in person.

If he doesn't say anything, how can I work hard to become what he likes!

Kong Lun was stunned for a while, shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "This matter is not what you think."

Not what I thought?How does he know what I'm thinking?

Although I always say that "Tao Te Ching" is not as difficult to understand as everyone imagines, I am not the kind of guy who can be seen through at a glance, right?

PS: Today I quietly changed the wifi to "Taoism and Confucianism", Kong Lun didn't say anything after seeing it, and just acquiesced!

April 7

cloudy weather

I seriously doubt that the things I secretly filmed have been exposed.

The reason is simple, Kong Lun has recently become more vigilant.

Sometimes I just took out my phone and before I could do anything, he suddenly looked at me, scaring me to pretend that I was doing something else.

Once or twice can be explained by coincidence, but he stares at me every day, isn't he already suspicious of me?

I also thought about deleting the photos on my phone and pretending nothing happened.

But for me, every photo in the album has a unique story, and I am reluctant to delete any one.

Sometimes I also fool myself, telling myself that Kong Lun staring at me has nothing to do with these photos.

But every time he accidentally met his gaze, the guy would show a shy look on his face.

Is Kong Lun such a shy person?Obviously not.

I originally thought that he would ask me about the secret filming, so I silently prepared a set of excuses.

However, after waiting for a long time, he just looked at me quietly and didn't say anything.

"Is something wrong?" I couldn't help asking first.

"It's okay, I just feel like you're restless today... Do you want to go out for a walk?" He asked.

I don't like to go out, but I can't bear this strange atmosphere at home anymore.

It feels as if we both have something on our minds and want to tell each other, but because of some unclear reasons, we hesitate to speak.

"Li Dao, is there anything you want to tell me?" Kong Lun asked suddenly while walking on the road.

"Why do you ask that?" I didn't answer his question directly.

"It's nothing...Maybe I think too much." He said.

In this way, the two of us came to the supermarket in silence.

The supermarket hasn't changed much from last time, but there are many good-looking things in the center of the daily necessities area.

I didn't recognize what those things were at first.

They look fluffy and look like giant cotton candy, and the color is also a very gentle gradient color.

Light pink, light blue, light green...

Do you use such beautiful things in your daily life?

My mood, which had been suppressed all day, seemed to improve a lot because of this novel gadget.

Looking at Kong Lun, he seemed to be attracted by this thing as well.

"So soft." He murmured.

That fluffy thing was huge, and when Kong Lun reached out his hand, it looked a little petite.

super cute!

In a flash of thought, I took out my mobile phone and took a sneak shot, but Kong Lun still caught me.

"This thing is very interesting." I calmly put the phone back into my pocket, pretending that I was just taking pictures of this fluffy thing.

"Do you like this soft thing?" Kong Lun asked suddenly.

"Ah... not bad." I said.

Heart of beauty in everyone.

This thing is so beautiful, although I can't say how much I like it, but I definitely don't hate it.

I picked up one of them and observed it carefully, and suddenly found a thick, short rod under the fluffy soft hair, and there was a label on it, which said "duster".

Are dusters so cute now?

I can't believe it.

In my impression, things like dusters are made by tearing old clothes into strips, and there is no need to go outside to buy them.

"Even if this kind of thing is not used for cleaning, it looks good just by simply placing it there." Kong Lun said, "But if it is not cleaned, it loses its meaning as a duster."

I look at those cute dusters in front of me, and I always feel very sorry when I think that one day they will be stained with dust and become less beautiful.

"Flowers fall, beauties fade...these are unavoidable." Kong Lun laughed, "Shouldn't you understand this truth better than me?"

Knowing is one thing, but seeing this kind of thing still makes me feel uncomfortable.

In this way, Kong Lun and I bought five in one go in order to prevent these cute little things from becoming dusty early.

The teller at the cash register wanted to wrap it up for us, but we thought it was a pity to wrap it up, so we held it in our hands and carried it all the way home.

That duster is really super beautiful, it looks like a blooming bouquet in your hand.

I hesitated for a long while holding the phone, and finally stopped Kong Lun when I walked to the door of the unit building, and asked him to cooperate with me in taking a photo.

"It's just... such a big handful of fluffy ones looks good, can you hold it up and let me take a picture." I said.

Kong Lun didn't have any doubts, and agreed without saying a word.

Of course, he thought I was going to slap the duster, so he covered his face tightly as soon as he came up.

"Slightly lower, it's too high." I said.

Kong Lun is very obedient, obeying my command like a puppet, making various fine-tuning.

"You look like a real photographer." Kong Lun laughed.

I didn't speak, but my heart was extremely satisfied.

I finally took a photo of Kong Lun's face! ! !

Kong Lun said he wanted to see how I was doing, so I took the duster from his hand and handed him the phone.

"It's a good shot!" Kong Lun exclaimed.

"It's just normal." I pursed my lips in embarrassment and said.

I candidly photograph him from different angles every day, and I have practiced it a long time ago. Is my level not good?

Wait... sneak shot? !

I was shocked, but it was too late when I wanted to get my phone back.

Kong Lun turned another page forward and saw the photo I secretly took of him in the supermarket.

My face burned instantly, my brain was racing, but no matter what, I couldn't think of a perfect excuse.

"this picture……"

I swallowed nervously, my heart almost jumped out of my throat.

"You accidentally included me in the photo." Kong Lun laughed, "But the photo was not bad."

After saying this, he returned the phone to me.

Is this a fool's errand?But why don't I feel relieved?

The author has something to say: Xinkeng asks for another wave of pre-acquisition QUQ
