The daily life of the Analects and Tao Te Ching

April 7

sunny

Although I think thongs go well with Kong Lun, but because I was too restless yesterday, he has to buy another pair of normal swimming trunks today.

"Do you know what it means to 'do unto others what you don't want done to you'? You don't want to wear thongs yourself, so why let me wear them?" Kong Lun said angrily.

This guy practiced the doctrine of the mean advocated by Confucianism on weekdays, and rarely had disputes with others.

Obviously, he was really angry this time.

I didn't continue to force him, but I still felt a little regretful in my heart.

Kong Lun looked really good in black thongs. Although I had been calm all night, when I recalled the scene last night, I still felt my nose was hot, as if red liquid would flow out at any time.

It's really exciting!

That guy scoffed at my unpromising performance.

"What about the promised heart like still water? If you have time to think about the Tao Te Ching, don't forget your identity," he said.

How can I forget my identity?

Having said that, he was obviously the one who said that he wanted to go to the country and do as the Romans do.

I did what he said, why did he blame me for losing my heart?

It is said that a woman's heart is a needle in the bottom of the sea, but I think men's minds are also unpredictable...

But having said that, after so many years, this is the first time I feel this unprecedented throbbing.

Rather than saying that a small stone is thrown into the calm water, it is better to say that a small fish is raised in the water.

After all, the ripples from the rocks will dissipate quickly and eventually return to calm, but fish are living creatures, and they will often make the water sparkle when you are not paying attention, and it will not be able to restore calm for a long time.

For some reason, I suddenly thought of that guy Nanhua.

He likes to use "fish" as a metaphor, and he doesn't know if it's because he once had the same feeling as I do now.

Closer to home, it may be because of the impressive price. Although it is summer, there are not many people swimming.

The swimming place is divided into deep water area, shallow water area and children's water play area.

I thought that Kong Lun wanted to come to the swimming pool because I knew how to swim, but I swam far away, and when I looked back, Kong Lun was still sitting on the edge of the swimming pool in a daze.

I quietly swam back along the edge of the pool, and suddenly popped out of the water when he wasn't paying attention, scaring him so that he fell into the water without paying attention.

The water in the shallow water area is not very deep. If you stand up straight, the waterline will reach the waist.

But Kong Lun didn't know if it was because he panicked, but he didn't stand up after splashing in the water for a long time, and even choked several times.

Can this guy not swim? !

I told him not to panic, just stand up when his feet touched the bottom of the pool, but he told me that he couldn't touch the bottom of the pool.

How could it not be possible? !

He was about my height, and unless he happened to be standing in the pit, he would never miss the bottom of the pool.

Sighing, I reached out and pulled him out of the water.

It may be because I was frightened, I just met him, and he wrapped his hands and feet around me like a life-saving straw, looking pitiful.

"What swimming pool do you come to if you don't know how to swim?" I asked.

He didn't answer my question, but instead asked, "Why did you scare me just now?"

I wanted to refute, but his tone sounded pitiful, which made my heart soften all of a sudden.

"My fault, I shouldn't scare you." I said.

As compensation, I promised to teach him how to swim.

Kong Lun seemed curious about my swimming skills and asked me when I learned to swim.

I recalled it carefully, and it probably happened in the Wei and Jin Dynasties.

At that time, the whole country was obsessed with the art of alchemists. As the book spirit of "Tao Te Ching", I was in the limelight at that time, and I really liked to travel in the world.

The more times I go, I naturally learn some skills, such as swimming.

Having said that, it should be strange that Kong Lun can't swim, right?

After all, he has existed in the world for so many years, I thought he would have already filled up the skills that can kill time just like me.

"I wanted to learn something interesting like you, but... I don't have time."

I know Kong Lun didn't mean to show off, but I still feel like I've been shot in the knee.

People are the book of governing the country, of course, they manage a lot of things every day, which is different from our group of wandering wild cranes.

I took a deep breath, smiled, and said, "That's just right, I'll help you make up this lesson today."

Probably because there are too many people who can't swim these days, and there are actually swimming rings in the store.

However, after careful observation, there are not many people who actually use swimming laps in the swimming pool, and [-]% of them are children.

It is also for this reason that the swim rings sold in the store look extremely cute, and the shame index is no less than that of thongs.

I looked at the swimming ring, and then at Kong Lun.

From a certain point of view, swimming rings may be more shameful than thongs.After all, the thong is worn under the body, and no one will notice it after entering the water, but the swimming ring is different, and everyone who comes and goes can see it.

"May I ask how old the children are here?" the staff member asked kindly.

I stretched out my finger to Kong Lun, and said, "Such a big kid."

Kong Lun's face turned red all of a sudden, and he gave me a dissatisfied look.

I spread my hands innocently, expressing that I was telling the truth.

"Adult swimming lap?"

The staff introduced several models to us, and I chose one with the cartoon shape of a bunny.

"That's it, it's cute just looking at it," I said.

Kong Lun's expression was a bit embarrassed, and he whispered that this kind of pink and tender swimming ring was a bit shameful.

But I promised to accompany him to the swimming pool just to play this shameful PLAY (～￣▽￣)～

In all seriousness, this lap of shame is motivating and speeds up his learning to swim.

Kong Lun didn't refute my point of view, but he kept his head lowered as he walked back to the swimming pool.

"If you don't know, it's fine; if you don't know, you're sick. A saint is not sick because he is sick. Hu Wei is sick because he is not sick."

This is a sentence in the "Tao Te Ching", but I believe Confucius can understand the meaning of this sentence.

"I'm not saying I don't want to learn to swim, but other people who learn to swim are children." He said awkwardly.

To be honest, judging from his lifespan of thousands of years, everyone present is probably a child, right?

I found a corner where no one was around, and put a swimming ring on Kong Lun, letting him play freely in the water.

"What kind of teaching method is this?" Kong Lun frowned, apparently suspecting that I didn't plan to teach it seriously.

"You play with the water for a while, and I'll think about how to teach you." I said.

In fact, it’s not that I’m out of ideas on how to teach him how to swim. It’s just that this guy has just choked on the water, and it’s probably half the effort to let him learn to swim hastily. It’s better to let him play with the water first to adapt to the environment.

In addition, I also want to appreciate his cute appearance in the swimming ring, fluttering cautiously in the water.

After he learns to swim, he probably won't see such a picture.

I suddenly felt a little regretful, if I hadn't locked my phone in the locker in the locker room just now, otherwise I would have taken a lot of lovely photos.

"Li Dao! Li Dao!" Kong Lun suddenly called out my name excitedly, "I can swim now!"

He still wears a swimming ring, but he can jump from one end of the pool to the other end of the pool.

"Awesome!" I didn't hesitate to praise myself.

I tried to make him bounce back by himself, but because he didn't master the technique, his forward speed was almost negligible.

In order to preserve his strength, I had no choice but to go into the water and pull him back by the swimming ring.

Meanwhile, the dad of a little boy did the same thing I did, and we were both headed in roughly the same direction.

The little boy seemed very excited and greeted Kong Lun from a long distance away.

"Big brother! Is your father taking you to dinner too?" he said.

dad?mean me?

I bit my lower lip with my teeth, trying not to laugh out loud.

"They are not father and son." The little boy's father said helplessly.

"But that man went to the swimming pool to find big brother." The little boy looked puzzled, "Didn't you say that if I wasn't your son, you wouldn't be bothered to pull me ashore?"

"In addition to father and son, they may also be brothers." The little boy's father said, "When you have a younger brother, the task of finding someone in the swimming pool will be handed over to you."

"Then when can I have a brother?"

"I'm going to ask your mother about this..."

The little boy was carried by his father and walked away. Before leaving, he waved to Kong Lun vigorously to say goodbye.

"Father or elder brother, you choose one." I joked.

Kong Lun gave me a blank look and refused to make a choice.

"Well, I've always been a talkative person, so I can give you a third option."

After a pause, I lay down next to his ear and whispered, "Call me, Mr. Xiang, come and listen~"

Although it wasn't intentional, I couldn't help but feel a chill when I heard my twitching tone.

I just wanted to say that this was just a joke, but I didn't expect Kong Lun to mutter the word "Xianggong" in a low voice.

I thought I had heard it wrong and wanted him to repeat it, but he told me he hadn't said anything.

Are you blushing like you didn't say anything?Anyway, I don't believe it.

"Good wife." I smiled lightly.

"You, who is your daughter-in-law!" Kong Lun was a little annoyed.

However, because his body was submerged in the water, he didn't dare to make too much movement, and he looked like a harmless duckling with its fur fried.

"Whoever answers, that's who I'm calling." I said.

I have always thought that Kong Lun was very eloquent, but in recent times he seems to have suddenly become dumb, often suddenly falling silent.

He must be shy.

I knelt down and scratched his nose with my fingers.

"What are you doing?" he asked.

"Sealed." I said, "If I stamped it, you are mine."

"Childish." Kong Lun rolled his eyes at me, but there was a slight smile on his lips.

He's a smart guy, the kind who knows a little bit. I just told him some skills, and this guy immediately mastered them and jumped happily in the water.

The reason why the word "thump" is used is because his posture is really not very beautiful.

Some people call this swimming style "dog planing", but IMHO, dog swimming looks better than this.

But having said that, Kong Lun's swimming is not for others to watch, as long as he has fun.

I put the swimming ring into the water, lay on it and closed my eyes to rest.

The water in the swimming pool is not very cold, but it can dissipate the heat very well. It is very pleasant to float quietly on the water like this.

Suddenly, I felt the fluctuation of the water pattern coming from the side, as if someone was approaching cautiously.

I opened my eyes slightly and glanced, and found Kong Lun's excited expression, so I curled the corners of my mouth, closed my eyes again, and pretended not to notice.

He thought I was asleep, so he deliberately played tricks and pushed me into the water.

I made preparations in advance, so I didn't choke on the water, but squatted silently at the bottom of the water.

At the beginning, he still had an expression of watching the show. Seeing that I hadn't surfaced for a long time, he panicked a little.

"Are you OK?"

Seeing that I didn't respond, he took a deep breath and sank to the bottom of the water.

As expected, he was still afraid of water, he dared not open his eyes at all in the water, and his mouth was tightly pursed into a line.

I suddenly felt itchy in my heart, so I kissed him in the water while he was not paying attention.

Kong Lun suddenly got out of the water, panting heavily.

I also floated my upper body out of the water, lying on the swimming ring and watching him quietly.

Obviously he was the one who made the prank, but now he looks even more embarrassed than me.

Sure enough, a guy like him can't be a bad guy, he's only suitable to be a gentleman.

"What did you do in the water just now?" he asked.

I tilted my head with an innocent expression on my face.

"It's just..." He stretched out his hand and touched the place where I kissed just now.

"What's wrong?" I asked knowingly.

"It's nothing, maybe it's my illusion." He shook his head and said.

The author has something to say: Li Dao: Lun Lun is so cute (～￣▽￣)～

Kong Lun: Why do I feel that this guy is getting more and more shameless...
