The daily life of the Analects and Tao Te Ching

April 8

cloudy weather

I've always been curious about why Kong Lun would come to my room in the middle of the night to light mosquito coils. It's not like I haven't asked him before, but every time he talks about him vaguely, he just refuses to answer my question directly.

I narcissistically attribute this series of abnormal behaviors to the fact that he likes me, but something that happened today made me suddenly realize that things might not be what I thought.

Most likely he was simply terrified of bugs.

In fact, besides the room where the two of us slept, there were mosquito coils everywhere in the house, even in the kitchen.

He seemed to have calculated the time well, and every time the mosquito coil was about to burn out, he would refill it with a new one.

This goes round and round, and there will always be a smell of mosquito coils in the house.

I even suspect that if the two of us were not book spirits but ordinary humans, we would have been fainted by the mosquito coils that filled the room.

However, even so, there are still bugs that are not afraid of death breaking in today.

Kong Lun is usually a very courageous person, and is rarely frightened by anything, but today he was frightened by a flying insect.

"It's just a small flying insect." I said.

"Big flying bug! What a big one!" he corrected, "and it makes a 'crackling' sound."

"That's the sound of insects flapping their wings," I said.

Although it was only a brief glimpse, according to my judgment, it should be an ordinary beetle.

Probably because the window was not closed properly, and it sneaked in through a gap?

Kong Lun had calmed down a little bit, but he was still in shock, as if what he saw just now was not a small flying insect, but some kind of scourge.

"Don't be afraid, nothing will happen. In the past, children often caught this kind of bugs to play with." I said.

My original intention was to comfort him, but I didn't expect him to tremble like an electric shock when he heard me say that.

Does he have any psychological shadow on this kind of bug?

The bug was probably tired from flying, and finally landed on the wall.

I didn't want to stain the wall, and I also felt that the bug was not worthy of death, so I didn't directly slap it to death, but found a jar to hold it.

The worms were frightened and slammed around like crazy in the jar, making a lot of noise.

Kong Lun might have been a little scared, so he took two steps back, but he didn't leave the room.

After a while, the bug gradually gave up struggling, so I took the jar off the wall.

"It counts as being caught."

I handed the jar to him, but he didn't take it, and he didn't even want to look at the worms in the jar.

Does he have any psychological shadow on the bugs?

"Haven't you been teased by bugs before?" Kong Lun was also surprised that I was not afraid of bugs.

According to him, in the past, children in private schools often secretly set up a ring with books while the teacher was away, and then put bugs in the middle to play with them.Sometimes, to add to the fun, they would open the inside pages of the book and let the worms crawl on them.

"Although it won't have any direct impact, this kind of thing feels disgusting when you think about it, as if there are really bugs crawling on your body." He said.

I can understand his feelings, but it may be because the "Tao Te Ching" is often associated with the art of immortal alchemists, but few people dare to treat me like this.In comparison, there are many cases where the "Tao Te Ching" is put on the tribute table and asked me to do some unimaginable things.

"Can you imagine? Someone is asking for a child in front of the "Tao Te Ching"! Even if I want to help with this kind of thing, I can't help it!" I complained.

Confucius laughed when he heard the words. He said that there were people who made wishes in front of "The Analects of Confucius", but most of them were seeking fame and fortune.

"Did they succeed in seeking a child later?" He asked with a smile.

"It succeeded, but it has nothing to do with me at all." I yawned and said, "Maybe they also went to ask other gods, and it worked for them."

Having said that, I subconsciously glanced at his stomach.

I also have a wife now, but I don't know if he can bear me a child.

"What do you see me doing?" he asked.

"Nothing." I said.

Although I said so, I was suddenly a little curious, if the book spirit became a woman, would the inner structure also change along with it?

I rarely turn into a female body, basically appearing in a male image.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that there are very few girls in the book spirit world, and everyone seems to be more inclined to male images.

I asked Kong Lun why he didn’t choose a female body at the beginning, and he looked surprised and asked, “Why did you choose a female body?”

I pursed my lips, not knowing how to answer.

"I just think...it seems good to be a girl once in a while." I said.

"I can't see that you have such an idea." He smiled, "But if you become a girl, you will definitely be cute."

When did I say I was going to be a girl?I clearly want him to show me!

"Me?" He frowned, with a perplexed expression, "Why do you want me to become a woman?"

Originally, I was just curious about what kind of changes would happen to his body after he became a woman.But when he asked the words in such a tone, it inexplicably reminded me of something inappropriate for children.

He probably also thought of that kind of thing, his face looked red.

"That...if you need..."

Before he could finish speaking, I interrupted him.

"No! Not like you!"

"Okay." Kong Lun spread his hands and did not refute.

But it was obvious that he didn't take my words to heart.

I suddenly regretted letting the bug out just now. His current appearance of controlling everything really makes people feel very uncomfortable.

"I just said it casually, if you don't want to, forget it." I said awkwardly.

The Master said: Only women and villains are difficult to raise. If they are close, they will not be inferior, and if they are far away, they will complain.

This guy has always advertised himself as a gentleman, so if he really rejected me, it would be considered as an excuse.

"It's not that I don't want to, but to match your whim, you have to give me something sweet." He narrowed his eyes, with a sly expression on his face.

"The Analects of Confucius" actually takes the initiative to ask for sweets?This is really something new and unheard of.

"Okay, what sweets do you want?" I asked.

"I want to enjoy the treatment of a girlfriend, and you have to listen to me all day tomorrow." Kong Lun said enthusiastically, "I said you can't go west when you go east, and you can't stand when you sit. I'm not happy If you want to coax me, even if you make trouble for no reason, you still have to coax me, if you can't coax me well, it's your fault."

Where did he learn these outlandish remarks? !

I looked him up and down as if I were looking at a stranger.

He was a little embarrassed by me, coughed lightly, and said: "After becoming a woman, I am not me anymore, you can no longer look at me with the old eyes."

So this is an attempt to completely let go after the gender switch?

It's kind of weird, but it seems interesting.

"Okay, it's all up to you." I said, "I will never go west when you say east, and I will never stand when you say sit. Even if you make trouble for no reason, I will try my best to make you happy."

These words were obviously said by himself, but after hearing me repeat them, he was too shy.

I can even imagine how cute he looks when he turns into a girl.

April 8

sunny

To describe a woman's facial features, some people always like to use small cherry mouths and willow-leaf curved eyebrows.

Before I met Kong Lun today, I also imagined his appearance as a girl in my mind, and I probably used these adjectives.But after meeting him, I realized that my understanding of women was too superficial.There is an old saying that goes well, beauty is in the bones but not the skin, and this "bone" refers to the strength of character.

It's not that the facial features are not good-looking enough, the main thing is that I'm used to seeing them.

Maybe it was because he was afraid of trouble, his facial features did not look much different from his male body, but more feminine, just like twin brothers and sisters.

Seeing me staring at him non-stop, he looked a little embarrassed, and asked me if I looked weird like this.

"It's beautiful." I sincerely expressed my praise.

Perhaps because of the influence of Confucianism, even if he turned into a girl, his figure is not very hot, but it makes people feel just right, no matter how you look at it, you feel comfortable.

This is my wife!

Thinking of this, I couldn't help showing a smile in my eyes.

There are no clothes for girls to wear at home, so he is still dressed in his usual clothes.

However, due to her slender figure, the clothes are a bit baggy, but reveal a different kind of sexy.

"You said, listen to me for everything today." He said.

I nodded.

"Then can you accompany me to the aquarium today?" he asked.

After a pause, he seemed to suddenly think of something, smiled, then raised his chin slightly, and said, "Hey, I want you to accompany me to the aquarium today."

Naturally, I have no objection, but I didn't expect him to dare to go out dressed like this.

"It's hard to become a woman, of course I'm going on a date!" He said logically, "Could it be that you want to do something else at home?"

What can lonely men and widows do at home?The answer is self-evident.

Having said that, after Kong Lun became a girl, he seemed to become more and more outspoken.

"It's all up to you." I smiled, "If you want to stay at home, I have no objection."

Kong Lun probably didn't expect me to say that, so he gave me a look of embarrassment and annoyance.

However, since he looks like a girl now, this slasher has no deterrent effect at all, but it makes me feel very cute.

I asked him afterwards why he took me to the aquarium, and he said that it was because we had never seen the bottom of the sea.

"Aren't you curious about what kind of world is under the sea?" he asked.

To be honest, I really haven't really thought about this issue before.

Is there something in the depths of the sea that has anything to do with me?

Even if there is another world there, if it can be achieved without interfering with each other, why is it necessary to understand it?

"Can't you be more curious?" He frowned, dissatisfied.

"Curiosity killed the cat," I said.

"But you're not a cat."

"Meow~"

I like to see his expression that he wants to argue with me, but he doesn't know what to say.That look is like an annoyed lion cub, with more energy than energy.

Having said that, the number of words in "The Analects of Confucius" is much more than that of "Tao Te Ching", but he seldom beats me in debating such matters.

"That's because I'm letting you in on purpose!" He said solemnly.

Dating is about looking like a date.

Before going to the aquarium, we went to the mall to buy him a suit.

A white suspender dress paired with low-heeled sandals is simply the standard for a goddess!

However, Kong Lun seemed very unaccustomed to this outfit, and his walking posture seemed a bit awkward.

"Slow down a little bit, I can't walk stably in these shoes." He said, "You agreed to treat me like a girlfriend today?"

I slowed down as I said, and said with a smile, "It's not a girlfriend, it's a spoiled wife."

After a pause, I suddenly thought of the joke I saw on the Internet before, and added: "If you get tired from walking, I can carry you on my back."

"Can you?" he asked, eyeing me suspiciously.

"Yes!" I said.

As we walked, we came to a counter selling cosmetics.

"Girls all wear makeup," I said.

Kong Lun didn't speak, but it could be seen that he was not in a good mood.

This guy probably thinks I'm deliberately bullying him, right?

"Okay, listen to me today." He said.

"Listen to you, but it will be cuter with makeup." I said.

The clerk next to me saw that there was a business coming to the door, so he came to help me persuade him, and said that if he bought cosmetics, he could try makeup for free.

"Can I pay and you do his makeup?" I asked.

Although he looks good without makeup, but looking at this familiar face, I don't feel like I'm dating a girl at all.

Moreover, I managed to coax him to become a girl to show me. If I don't cherish the opportunity, the next time I encounter such a good thing, I might have to wait until the year of the monkey.

He probably also thought of this, so he didn't say anything, just sat there obediently and waited for the other party to make up for him.

"Little girl, your skin is really good."

"how old are you?"

"What brand of cosmetics do you usually use?"

The clerk was doing his make-up while talking to him in a rambling manner.

I couldn't help laughing when I heard the sound of "little girl".

I didn't expect the book spirit of the dignified "The Analects of Confucius" to be here today!

"It is said that history is a little girl who can be dressed up by others. Today you can be regarded as joining their ranks." I laughed.

The clerk didn't understand my stalk, but Kong Lun did, and said, "Believe it or not, I will send you to be sisters with them someday?"

"I'm afraid they won't want me." I said, "Don't you think I'm going to mess things up?"

National unity relies on force and law, and ZTE relies on Confucianism, but the reason for the final collapse of the country is often blamed on the skills of immortal alchemists.

Naturally, I was the last one to take the blame.

But what does all this have to do with me?

"There must always be someone who is responsible, otherwise an era can't end like this for no reason." He said.

Although the clerk talked a lot, his hands and feet were nimble, and he quickly painted him a makeup look suitable for a date.

"Let your boyfriend choose the last lipstick for you." She laughed.

In my mind, lipstick is red.However, the clerk took out seven or eight lipsticks in one go, and the colors of each one were different, but not too different.

I felt a little bit numb, so I refused to let him choose.

"Honey~ Help me choose one!" He deliberately said in a delicate tone.

No way, I can only bite the bullet and choose one at random.

"Is it red? It doesn't seem to suit her makeup today." The clerk said.

If it doesn't suit her, let me choose? !

I looked at Kong Lun, looked at those lipsticks, and chose another one based on my intuition.

"This color has a very gentle feeling, and it doesn't dry out the mouth." The clerk said while applying the lipstick for him.

I thought he would look funny with lipstick on, but when I saw that face with makeup on, I felt like I was shot in the chest.

This is too beautiful!The legendary fairy is nothing more than that!

I subconsciously took out my phone and wanted to take a picture, but when I met his eyes, I was suddenly at a loss.

"Um...can I take a picture?" I asked.

"Hmm." He also seemed a little embarrassed, looking shy and more like a girl.

I even had a doubt, whether this guy often pretends to be a girl on weekdays, but I don't know.

Otherwise, how could he behave so naturally after he became a girl?

"Actually, I usually know some girls." He said.

"Oh."

It was a little surprising, but it was expected.

Whether it's soaking in hot springs or watching shooting stars, this guy is always the one surrounded by girls.

"Are you jealous?" Seeing that I didn't speak, he asked with a smile.

"No." I said, "You are so popular, if I get jealous every time, wouldn't I be jealous?"

"But you speak sourly now." He said.

"Illusion." I said.

Even if I was really jealous, I would never admit it!

My dignified "Tao Te Ching" book spirit, is actually such a narrow-minded person?

"Okay." He spread his hands and didn't continue talking, but there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Kong Lun." I called him suddenly.

"What's the matter?" he asked.

"It's okay." I just want to get his response, to prove that all this is not a fantasy dream.

Having said that, this is the first time for me to come to a place like the aquarium.

In my imagination, the place where marine animals are raised should be like a fishing boat docked by the sea, exuding a lingering stench and looking dirty.

However, in fact, the place was completely different from what I had imagined. It really looked like the Crystal Palace in the legend.

All the aquatic animals are placed in transparent glass showcases, which look like a dream, and I almost screamed out of surprise several times.

Is there such a big fish in this world?

Those little guys swimming around in the coral look like overturned paint cans, they look so bright!

There is also the soft jellyfish, which is so beautiful under the light.

"It's so beautiful." Kong Lun stared blankly at the world beyond the glass, and murmured, "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have imagined it at all."

"It's really inconceivable to move the underwater world to the land with manpower." I agreed.

Although I have never seen the wonders of the sea, I have heard a little about it.

In comparison, I'm more curious about how they did it.

"Maybe this place used to be a sea?" He thought for a while and said.

"Even if it was the sea before, it couldn't have become like this." I shook my head, not agreeing with his statement.

If I insist on describing it, I feel that this place is more like an exquisite prison, and these marine animals are prisoners in the cell.

I feel more like they were caught here than they were born and bred.

"Hearing what you said, I suddenly feel that they are so pitiful." He sighed and said.

Realizing that I might be spoiling the fun, I pursed my lips in embarrassment, trying to change the subject.

"Look at that."

I found that there seemed to be something in the sand, which seemed to be some kind of creature, but before I could see it clearly, it shrank into the hole.

"what?"

Kong Lun looked blankly in the direction of my finger, but saw nothing.

"That's the hole, something came out of it just now." I said.

As soon as the voice fell, the thing just now popped up again.

"That's it!" I said.

The creature was long and thin, like a water snake, but only half of its body was sticking out, while the other half was buried in the sand.

"It's amazing, it seems to grow in the ground." Kong Lun's attention was smoothly diverted.

I breathed a sigh of relief, and turned my head to glance at the introduction posted next to me.

Garden eel...is this thing an eel?

"There are two over there that seem to be arguing."

As he spoke, he pointed to a certain direction of the display cabinet, where there were two garden eels very close together, getting together from time to time.

"Maybe it's whispering." I leaned closer to his ear and whispered, "Maybe I'm saying 'Look, someone came to see us again'."

"They must see a lot of tourists every day, right? I don't know what kind of mood it will be."

"There are so many people watching "The Analects of Confucius" every day, how do you feel?"

"I have no idea……"

"Similarly, they don't know either."

"What kind of empathy is this?" He muttered dissatisfied.

After a pause, his eyes were attracted by other things.

"What kind of fish is that?"

He subconsciously tapped the glass with his fingertips, only to be warned by the staff.

"Please don't touch the glass."

"Sorry." He said hastily.

In order to prevent being unable to help himself again, he put his hands behind his back.

I thought it was a little funny, so I took his hand and interlocked my fingers.

"That's good." I laughed, "If you want to touch the glass, you have to break away from my hand, but I won't let you break away."

After turning into a girl, his hands felt a lot slender, and they felt soft in his hands, as if they were soft cotton.

Kong Lun lowered his head and smiled, as if a little shy.

To hide his embarrassment, he turned his attention to the aquarium again.

"Look, that little guy went into the hole just now." He said.

I looked at the position just now, and sure enough, there was only one of the two garden eels left, looking lonely.

"Another guy looks like you," he murmured.

"Huh? Like me?" I was a little surprised, "Why?"

"When I saw a lot of people, I hid at home and couldn't come out." He said.

"But I went out recently." I retorted dissatisfied.

"Hmm... that guy just came out to say hello, but he retreated in the blink of an eye," he said.

I looked sideways at him, and he was looking intently at the fish in the aquarium.

It may be due to the light, the sparkling water patterns reflected on his body, making him look like an elf living under the sea.

I pulled out my phone again.

"Want to take a picture?" he asked.

"Yeah." I pointed the camera at him, but he blocked his face.

"Don't keep taking pictures of me, I'm ashamed. Other book spirits may not have seen such a miraculous sight, don't you plan to take a few photos and show them back?" He said.

Hearing what he said, I pointed my camera lens at the aquarium and took a few decent pictures.

"It looks fine," he said.

I smiled and put the phone back in my pocket.

However, it didn't take long before I took out the phone again.

"Do you want to post the photos on Weibo?" He seemed a little surprised when he saw me bring up the interface of Weibo.

"Yeah." I replied.

After I go back, I will never have the chance to talk to those online friends again, so I might as well take advantage of the last few days to share more things with them.

"Li Dao." He suddenly called me.

"Ok?"

"You really like dealing with people, don't you?"

"No."

"But you had a great time chatting with them online."

"That's because I don't have to meet... I feel a lot more comfortable if I don't have to meet."

"You hate them, don't you?"

"Even if you can't bear it, there's nothing you can do. You can't stay here and not go back."

Kong Lun fell into silence, not knowing what he was thinking.

"There will be a dolphin show next, do you want to see it?" I looked at the time and said.

"Go!" he said.

"Let's go."

I held out my hand to him, but he didn't take it for a long time.

"You should listen to me today, but in the end I was led away." He muttered.

I carefully recalled today's schedule, it seems that this is really the case.

"Then... what's the next plan?" I asked, "You can do whatever you say, and it's all up to you."

"I'm going to the dolphin show."

"Yeah, I'll give you a seat."

"I want to feed the fish."

"Yeah, I'll buy you fish food."

"I, I want to go to the toilet." Kong Lun blushed and whispered.

"Eh?" I can't help you with this kind of thing.

"I don't want to go to the women's room," he said.

"But you're a girl now, I'm afraid entering the men's room will cause unnecessary commotion?" I said.

"So... lend me your clothes, next you are a girl." He took a deep breath, as if he had made a lot of determination.

"what?"

Although I promised to listen to him today, is he serious about this matter? !

The author has something to say: Li Dao: I feel like I have been tricked...

Kong Lun: Come on!you can! (Happily holding up the small camera)

Li Dao: QAQ
