Chapter Four: The Joyful Zen of Love (I) – Born to be a Wonderful Enemy
‘Shang evil, I want to know you, and live a long life without ceasing to decay.
The mountains have no tombs, the rivers are exhausted, the thunder vibrates in winter, and the rain snows in summer,
If heaven and earth are united, I dare to break with you!”
Han Lefu Poetry on Wickedness
‘Whoever findsthis, Iloveyou’…
Whoever picks up this note – I love you.
It’s been a long, long, long, rather refreshing song in English.
The song describes a lonely and forlorn little girl looking from her room to the street outside her window.
Without friends, without smiles, she always looked quietly out the window at the bustling crowds of people. It was close, but far away.
She wants a good friend. A friendly companion to talk to. No one noticed the little girl standing upstairs.
So she thought of a way. The little girl wrote her thoughts on a slip of paper, which she pressed and placed on the first-floor entrance steps, expecting every day that someone would pick it up and understand her feelings.
And she kept singing in her heart: ‘I’dratherhavenoonetotalkto, sowhoeverfindsthis, Iloveyou’…
I don’t know if that piece of paper has been found or not. In fact, it is hidden in the depths of everyone’s heart, and perhaps, like a little girl, you hope that someone will pass by and notice it. We are over-armed, and how can we open up our tightly closed hearts?
There was a girl named Evening Forest. Like the protagonist of the above story, she loved to doodle, think, dream, and be sentimental, but often hid her inner gloom with laughter.
The teenager’s family is often unstable – the time-bomb of a father who is absentee, drinks heavily, argues with his wife, even beats her, and leaves the house for days at a time.
Eveningwood had only dared to speak out against his father’s behavior.
The youngest brother of Late Lin was brave enough to stand in solidarity with the vulnerable mom. He stopped his violent father in his tracks: “Dad, I’ve never liked your style! I’ve always hated your style! Why do you take it out on mom when you drink? Sis can’t do anything about you, so I’ll protect Mom!”
The man shrugged off the strong arm of Kunoji’s son, “Revolting, revolting! Even the son dares to confront the old man!” There was a thud! The man of the house went out with a bottle of wine in his hand, showing no remorse.
“Mom~, I’m sorry! I can’t help you,” said Evening Forest, taking advantage of the fact that her father had just left the house to go to her mother’s side and comfort her.
Mom shook her head, “Good daughter, this is all fate! Remember, if you’re looking for a date in the future, you must look carefully!”
Mother and daughter embraced each other and cried. There was only so much the girl could do.
Late Lin resented her father. He had brought her and her brother into the world, but had not done his part as a father. The mother takes care of the household, and the girl completes her education with half-time work and half-study. The same ethical family drama is played out every day, the same old story.
She was tired of witnessing her parents’ bickering, tired of the stress of their discord, a burden from which there was no escape. What frustrates Evening Forest the most is the feeling of powerlessness to help.
The girl locks all her grievances and sorrows into her diary, page after page. It tells of the ups and downs of life, of all the things she can’t change.
Evening Grove was bright, clever, and quirky, but by no means the character she was at home. The girl was always quiet and withdrawn, sitting alone at her desk, reciting poems, singing songs, listening to Western music, not bothering with her schoolwork, and weaving her dreamy colors with a pen. Her father’s tyrannical rule is left behind – outside the door you are in charge, inside the door I am the biggest.
Out of sight, out of mind. She wanted so much to free herself.
After graduating from junior high school, the girl finally got into a high school in Tainan after a hard battle. The fact that someone like her, who didn’t put in much effort, could still get into a good school was nothing but a miracle, a blessing from the gods, and probably a blessing from the ancestors, wasn’t it? (Evening Forest: protest! Even though she’s not a model student, at least she has an IQ of 180.)
‘Finally, I can get away from this non-family home for a while…’ The girl sighed, ‘But what should I do about Mom? …’
The mother was happy, of course, but her reluctance made her sad. Daughters are getting older, and birds with their first wings will always leave the nest.
The long summer vacation was coming to an end. The night before departure, Late Lin quietly unpacked in his room, preparing to register and check in for residency.
She folded the clothes she always wore, and put away the trinkets on the table. Familiar memories, memories of figures, cries and laughter, tears in her eyes. She picks up the diary, and a lot of memories come back to her. She put it in her suitcase and closed it, closing the window of her memories.
‘KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK…’ A short, soft knock on the door.
“Come in…” the girl wiped the water droplets from her cheeks and looked back at the door, “Mom? You’re still up?”
Mother nervously locked the door, “Your father, he’s out drinking again and won’t be back tonight. Evening Forest, you’re leaving tomorrow, so mom will give you some more money, so save it…” She pulled out a few thousand-dollar bills from her pocket and reached out to hand them to her daughter.
“Mom, I have enough money on me. The family needs money too! I’ll earn my own tuition fees for the future semesters by working part-time, and I’ll never spend your hard-earned money, mom.” The young girl politely replied.
Mom’s eyes were brimming with tears, “When a girl is out in the world, she has to take care of her own safety and health! Don’t let mom worry about you…” Still, she pushed the money into the girl’s hand.
“Take it… it might come in handy…” Evening Forest stopped refusing his mother’s kindness and accepted her love.
“I’ve already explained to my brother─I’m not at home and he’ll be on your side mom.”
The mother stroked the girl’s long hair: “Silly daughter, it’s not easy for you to ignore your unproductive father and just take care of your homework. I’ll take care of mom on my own…”
“Mom~! Please promise me that you’ll take care of yourself~!” Evening Forest wrapped his arms around his mother, tears of separation wetting her shoulders. …
Early the next morning, the young girl carried her luggage and waved her hand toward her mother and little brother who were seeing her off at the entrance of the alley. She had just stepped onto the bus when, by accident, tears clouded her eyes again.
‘Why am I such a crybaby! What a nuisance!” Evening Forest looked out the window at the traffic, ‘From today onwards, I’m going to abandon my sad past and live my true self!’
The diary in the bag, Shendan, again made her the sole support of her mind. The girl tucked her eyes away and tossed it into the distance once more. The future, for Eveningwood, was multiple impossibilities and possible hopes crafted into one.
Isn’t living a fight? Fight for the courage to live and ask for a little love from heaven.
Whoever finds this, I love you… I love you…
In junior high school, although her grades were neither high nor low and she was hanging in the air, she was elected as the head of the health department for three years in a row. Just that ‘thunder and lightning’, ‘do whatever she wants’, ‘people are afraid of’ aura, is enough to make the usual fierce, fierce, clawing students suddenly weakened, obedient, and at her beck and call. The students will be able to obey her and let her do whatever she wants to do.
Well, ‘a tiger’s father has no daughter’, and this can be proved.
“Hey! Who’s that? Take out the trash!” “Hey! That piece of glass isn’t clean! Yeah, that’s you! It’s you! I trusted you so much, and you dare to ‘fish’ for me!” “Listen up! If the floor fails my inspection, no one will be able to go home on time!” Hearing the young girl’s shouting, those who heard it trembled and no one dared to disobey!
Tzu said, “A tyrannical government is fiercer than a tiger.” Good, good, his words are true.
She originally thought that after she was promoted to the senior level, she could relax and return to her home, not to be a class officer, but Late Lin was too strong and sharp, and loved to ‘discuss’ unimportant things with her classmates in class – so the class tutor repeatedly cast ‘caring’ glances at her. The class advisor has repeatedly given her a ‘caring’ look.
“Evening Forest students! Please stand up!” The teacher suddenly called up the girl during a class meeting. The eyes of the class were focused on her.
The young girl got up, blinking her big eyes with a pure, innocent and pitiful look, “Uh, teacher, may I ask what you want?”
“As a matter of fact,” said the tutor, clearing his throat as usual, “the head of the class discipline unit has been complaining that she can’t keep order in the class and can’t keep everyone under control. Therefore, I’d like to select a new, competent…”
Evening Grove’s eyes twinkled, something was wrong, “Teacher, do you mean…?”
“That’s right, it’s what you think.” The teacher smiled: “I’m going to elect you to be the next head of the Discipline Unit! It’s called ‘fighting fire with fire’ and ‘fighting fire with fire’ – you’re the one who best understands the activities and distribution of the chatty students in the class; plus you’re usually quite lively, so you’re the perfect candidate.”
The girl was at once speechless, and all of her unimpeded eloquence was returned to God at once. She hung her head, not daring to say a word. Who would dare to hold a ‘political opinion meeting’ again?
The tutor laughed again: “Evening Lin did not express her opinion, that is, she accepts my ‘recommendation’.
Assuming there is no objection from the group as well, let’s vote to approve it by loud applause!”
For a moment, the classroom roared with joy and applause as the young girl received overwhelming support!
This step of teacher’s ‘Zhou Chu removes the three evils’ stance was really sharp and swift, and Late Lin didn’t even have the space to strain or think!
‘I can’t help it, since “God is going to give me a great responsibility” – I have to “become a new wife” and take over this hot potato! She’s very open-minded, it’s not like she’s never been a class officer before! She’s not afraid, she’s not afraid!
As the saying goes, ‘lead by example’, this new Head of the Wind and Discipline Unit was quite devoted to his duties. Once inaugurated, it was another three years.
“Classmate~, please don’t talk, okay?” When the female teacher lecturing on the stage makes a mournful, gentle cry of injustice, her line of sight makes a parabolic arc, and then it will surely land on a certain stationary girl without any deviation.
Needless to say, it was the Evening Forest. She would never bow to the ‘forces of evil’.
As such, the girl has self-appointed herself as the extremely evil ‘Evil Girl’. The type that’s so evil it’s cute.
There has been an unwritten rule in China since ancient times: ‘When one man wins, every man gets a chance’, and this is the case with the girl’s two best friends, Xiaoli and Ling. Under the high-pressure rule of the Evening Forest, everyone is afraid of the girl’s power, and they are free and easy to enter the world.
Summer lunch break, the classroom students are lying flat on the table, leaning over the desk to take a nap – can not sleep, but also forced to close their eyes, do not let the director of discipline to see any large eyes wider than a ping-pong ball; and in an inconspicuous corner of the evening Lin, Xiaoli, Ling is chattering chatting, really bold.
The young lady glanced at her head and noticed the ‘charming’ sleeping face of Pei – a face of childishness and innocence, with her lips slightly open, seemingly very deep in sleep.
She elbowed Lori and pointed to the sleeping Pei.
Xiao Li asked, “What do you want to do? Evening Forest.”
“What do you think of Pei?”
“You’re asking me, huh? Well, I think she’s very ‘dumb’ really, almost as dumb as a pig. Didn’t she ask you last time─how the little baby came to be?” Lori pretended to look like she was about to pass out.
The Chief of Discipline shrugged his shoulders: “‘Cheat Shaw’ miles! Didn’t we just take a nursing class? Did she really think the baby was carried by a crane? Oh my god!”
Ling kept laughing, “Forget it, Pei will find out sooner or later anyway! Lin, you’re not up to something again, are you?”
The young girl’s mind was set on a plan, “Shhhh~, you guys keep quiet for now and watch me!”
She went to the sink, took some water in her hands and crept over to Pei. She poured a few drops of water under the victim’s mouth and left a puddle of clear liquid on the tabletop… As soon as the bell rang for the end of the lunch break, Pei awoke to realize that something was wrong – what was that unidentifiable wet discharge in front of her eyes? Her first thought was, ‘Wow! Is it my drool from falling asleep? Her cheeks immediately turned red, blue and green.
Pei quickly took out the textbook she was going to use for the first class from the drawer and immediately ‘covered’ and extinguished the scene. ‘Whew! She thought no one was watching her…’ The three Evening Forests, who were secretly observing Pui’s movements, could not resist the urge to laugh! They rushed out into the corridor and laughed into the clear blue sky!
“Ah, can’t do it! My stomach hurts!” When Ling saw the other two laughing so hard that their eyes were tearing up, she continued to laugh…
Seemingly carefree in her high school life, Evening Forest tries to make herself seem so cheerful, confident, and not afraid of anything. However, the silence, the loss, the pressure from her father’s deepest sorrows were always unspoken. The girl was unwilling to let her best friend share this pain that was enough to tear her heart and lungs. There are some things that can’t be told to a friend.
The night lit up a lonely lamp, the girl holding an atomic note in her hand to write down today’s state of mind: “Evening Forest, you have to be strong to arm yourself, can not let others see your fragility. Happiness, can be shared with others; and sadness, only as a cup of bitter wine, their own slowly savored. Mom, did dad beat you again? Why did you refuse to mention it on the phone? Did your brother do his duty to protect you? I’m so afraid to go home, but…, Mom, I always miss you…”
Covering the diary, the girl exhaled lightly, ”Ah~, how annoying! How much longer will I have to live this boring, worrying life? Maybe it’s time to find a good companion who can listen to me and won’t get bored or talk back…”
Why don’t you have a pet? Evening Forest really admired herself more and more for her ‘purity’ and ‘cleverness’. Then, tomorrow after school, I’ll take Xiao Li and Ling to the pet store on the way back to my place. The young girl made up her own mind. Now that she had thought of it, she had to put it into action.
“You want to buy a pet?” Ling purposely pulled her voice up an octave in order to ascertain Evening Forest’s ‘keenness’.
The young girl nodded her head vigorously, “Once I make up my mind to buy it, I’m going to get it. I think~, having a cat should be good yo.”
Xiaoli rested her hand on her jaw and gave Evening Forest a look, “Missy, it’s hard enough for you to feed yourself, but you still want to take care of cats? Besides, cats look gloomy and cold, not as loyal as dogs, weird and spooky, I don’t like it too much!”
“I think I’m a good ‘match’ for cats. I often fantasize that I’m the beautiful ‘Catwoman’ from the ‘Batman’ movies, the woman with a thousand faces who is mysterious, lazy, elegant and evil all in one! Cats are very independent and autonomous, and aren’t that hard to keep yah.” Evening Grove began to talk at a high pitch.
Ling laughed and said: “‘Catwoman’ cat is understandable, they are all the same kind, no wonder they share the same feelings.”
“People who want to have pets are nothing more than people who want to project extra emotions onto their animals, treating them as if they were an extension of themselves or a disposable possession.” Lori was thoughtful, “Evening Forest, you have us as friends, isn’t that enough?”
The girl pinched the tip of Xiao Li’s nose: “Of course it’s not enough! You guys can’t be with me 24/7. I have to find a way to spend my time and get rid of my boredom.”
Ling stared into the evening forest’s eyes and spoke seriously, “There are many ways to pass the time.
In case we’re not with you, you can go play on the computer! Online dating is quite popular nowadays! I hear you can meet nice boys!”
“Yes?” The young girl’s eyes rolled again, “Computers on the market seem to be very expensive! A good one costs 40,000 to 50,000 dollars! Where do people get that kind of money?” She spat out her tongue, “Besides, I don’t know anything about computers at all, so why ask for trouble?”
“It’s not hard to use a computer!” Xiaoli smiled playfully, “Wouldn’t you be able to seduce a computer-knowledgeable male student to teach you with that ‘beauty’?”
Late Lin said in a bad mood: “Don’t talk nonsense! Relying on my quality mind, self-reliance, self-reliance, and study hard is enough! Who wants to use the ‘beauty trick’ to let men take advantage of me for nothing? Hmph! It’s just degrading!” That’s so ambitious!
“Don’t be angry!” Ling said, “Lily and I will go with you to choose a kitten.”
It was only then that the girl didn’t ‘crumble’ any further. “Then it’s a deal!”
As soon as school was over, the girls rushed into the pet store and stared through the display window at the cute little animals playing or resting. Evening Forest’s eyes focused on a sleeping white kitten that seemed to look right at her and fit right in!
The young girl exclaimed excitedly, “Lily, Ling, look! Look! That kitten is so cute! Uh-huh, boss! That’s it!”
The pet store owner approached, “Class, he’s a ‘Gingis’ kitten male with a pedigree certificate. He was born less than three months ago and is not very well cared for. Do you have any experience in feeding kittens milk?”
“I can learn.” Late Lin confidently replied: “I’m quite careful and patient, no problem!”
After the owner demonstrated and explained how to take care of the kitten, the girl joyfully picked up her ‘new friend’s’ warm, soft, tiny body, a large pile of ‘love cat’ toys and walked back to the dormitory. This is a life form full of future. Evening Forest realized that she had a great responsibility – she was the ‘surrogate mother’ of this little animal. Her wish was only to make it grow up healthily, just as her withered heart thirsted for sweet rain.
The little white cat had just woken up from its nap and was looking at its new master with open watery blue pupils, “Mee-ooo, mee-ooo…” as if it was petulant and curious. The cat’s language was difficult to understand. The cat’s short paws lightly scratched the back of the girl’s hand as if to greet her. It tickled.
Evening Forest carefully picked up the kitten, “Alright! From now on, we’re going to rely on each other! If there’s anything you can’t take care of, please forgive me!” She didn’t care if it understood, she wanted to pour her heart out to this little thing that had only just arrived here.
“Ah~! Meow Meow, you should have a name, right? What would be a good one? ~” the girl stroked the fine fur on the kitten’s body as she pondered whether or not she had gotten inspiration. There was no need to count strokes or criticize the year anyway.
Evening Forest was extremely fond of honey, but calling the little white cat ‘honey’ ┅ was too odd.
The young girl had a sudden idea and yelled, “That’s right! Let’s call her ‘Honey’ in English! It also means ‘honey’! It’s a symbol of my love for you! Ah~ Ha~ Ha~! I’m so smart!”
She lifted the kitten high in the air and smiled happily, “Little Meow Meow, you’re my Honey, let’s never, ever be apart!” She hugged the cat with joy and danced around the room. A happy world of one person and one cat.
Honey’s little nest is located right next to Evening Forest’s pillow. Whenever she was troubled by something, she recounted it to the sleeping kitten, telling it to herself without expecting a response. The young girl occasionally teases the kitten, watching it ‘challenge’ the new things around it, and Honey looks around Nightwood’s room attentively with her beady eyes. Dare.
The girl felt deeply that she was like her little Honey, a pet like its owner? Or owner like pet? Who cares?
Evening Forest was afraid that the kitten would starve during her classes, so she carefully picked out a small bamboo basket and put in the Honey cat – thus smuggling it into the campus. Every day, the young girl played a veritable game of ‘hide and seek’ with her teachers and instructors. It’s a thrilling experience.
Once the cat was brought into the classroom, it was easy. The girl was originally the disciplinarian – not to mention the most powerful – she was in charge of the classroom rules, and her word counted, so no one dared to say a word more! What’s the point of hiding a cat in the classroom? Besides, cats sleep about 70% of the time, so they don’t bother anyone. Evening Forest wanted to elevate the white cat’s status to that of ‘class cat’ and ‘lucky animal’!
Seeing the girl’s obsession with cats, Xiaoli and Ling shook their heads – they really wanted to give her a hand! If the girl only cares about cats and not other people of the opposite sex, how much of a loss would it be for all the good men in the world?
“Hey~, I say~ Evening Forest, you’ve been betting your heart and soul on kittens lately, you’re getting a little carried away!” The two of them took advantage of the break from class to hastily drag out the young girl and start lobbying action.
Eveningwood was unimpressed, “Don’t you guys think Honey’s cute?”
“Come on, help me out! A cat is still a cat even if it’s a kawaii, it can’t talk and it can’t comfort you like we can! It can’t talk, and it can’t comfort you like we can, and Honey just meows all day long, so she doesn’t know how to understand your sentimental girl’s heart.” Xiao Li’s words were like a sharp sword cutting through the girl’s heart.
Ling added a little more fuel to the fire: “Xiaoli is right! The purpose of having a pet is purely to pass the time, to lighten your mood, and to nurture your love, not to replace your friends in your heart. You shouldn’t go on like this…”, he said in a series of words.
Yes? Only she knows it in her heart.
The girl saw the handsome figure of the boy from a distance every day after school, and it never lingered.
After writing several unsolicited love letters, it took a long time to receive a short note. How much can one expect? Maybe she was sensitive? Not a good sign, she felt.
She pins her hopes on the cat. At least, it could promise her a promise.
The young girl sighed, “So~, do you guys have any good suggestions?” Of course she couldn’t cut her love of cats lo.
“I know you don’t like to show your face in strange occasions! So, didn’t I tell you last time to use your computer to go online and look for suitable friends to go out with? Why don’t you give it a try? There’s no harm in it,” said Xiao Li, trying to advise her friend.
“Right! The school’s computer classrooms are connected directly to the ‘Internet’ using a dedicated line, which is quite convenient! I’ve paid the tuition fee, so I don’t need to use it for nothing! I can teach you how to use the Internet at a beginner’s level, and once you’re familiar with it, it’s not too late to buy a computer and play with it yourself.” When Ling said this, even Lin’s heart was strongly shaken.
The young girl lowered her head and rubbed her hand lightly against Honey’s pilose, “Then~, okay! Ling, you can be my little computer teacher…. But hey, don’t think I’m going to pay for your tuition!
Understand?” The smile was rather ‘radiant’-intending to eat up the poor diehard.
Ling smiled faintly: “I knew you’d say something like that! You’ve made a bad friend. Don’t worry, for the sake of our friendship, there is no charge for the obligation to teach you until you ‘get it’. Isn’t that enough?” Lost money business or someone to do, early realization.
“Thank you for your kindness, I will definitely pay my respects to the master!” The girl stood up jokingly, but with a serious face, she bowed and said, “Master, please accept my respects!” She slowly started to learn how to open the ‘browser’, how to type in the correct URLs, how to use the search engine, and so on – all the basics of the art. What kind of person was Evening Forest? Within a few days, she was able to understand everything, do whatever she wanted to do, learn by example, move around the world and explore everywhere, and she was quite talented in this area!
”Good, since we’re on the net, let’s not disappoint Ling and the others.” The girl looked at the screen in thought, ‘There should be something like a dating center on the Internet, right? Let’s look for them…’
The action-oriented Ching-ling conducted a search using ‘dating’ as a keyword, and the dedicated computer returned a lot of information, which made the young girl’s heart flutter with excitement as she watched and watched….
The “Idle” dating section of the “Circle” website? A meeting room, a literary hall? Well, this is a warm and welcoming new place where all lonely Internet users are welcome to meet, hang out, and talk…’ The warmly worded introductory lines immediately caught her attention and drenched her eyes.
The young girl smiled in front of the screen. Idle Dating… Let’s go over there and take a look first. Behind the unknown, there should be some hope to look forward to, right?
The little white cat poked its head out of the bamboo basket, its blue, watery eyes gazing uncomprehendingly at its master’s every move, wondering if it would secretly bless the girl. The heart of a cat is probably as inexplicable as that of a human being.
Love, follow the heart of the evening forest stage and the mouse in the hands of a piece of adventure to go Luo!
Chapter Four: The Joyful Zen of Love (2) – Born to be a Wonderful Enemy
Evening Lin had acquired an amazing skill of surfing the Internet by herself, typing so fast that it was dizzying, greatly exceeding the limits of human physical ability! ‘The blue is better than the blue, but even better than the blue’, her mentor Ling couldn’t help but be moved to tears and horror.
The girl is not sure – once she goes online, is it a road of no return? As we all know: Anyone who has suffered from sensory leakage and Internet addiction will be burdened with a lifelong shackle; if you don’t touch the keyboard and mouse for a single day, you will experience the painful withdrawal symptoms of ‘addiction’ and itchy hands. How easy is it to block the Internet?
No matter where you hide to the ends of the earth, enthusiastic netizens will be able to find you out.
She entered the ‘Idle’ dating section and then went into the ‘Kiki’ parlor to see what was going on.
The speeches here seem to be quite ‘friendly’, and through the careful management and tireless efforts of Ms. Kiki, not only is it thriving, but there’s not even a hint of gunpowder in sight. Just as the introduction describes it, there is a sweetness in the quietness.
The young girl nodded to herself as she looked at the screen, ”Hm~, quite a peaceful and detailed paradise, a fresh and cheerful aura seems to have penetrated from the net route. I’ll just settle down here and make myself a queen! Hee hee…’ Maybe I’ve become addicted to being the head of the Discipline Department?
The girl decided to bring all the inner conflicts, contradictions, entanglements, joys, anger and obsessions of the real-life Evening Forest into the simulated electronic world. The strength of the electronic signals reflected her personality and true feelings, and she didn’t want to disguise them or make them look fake, but to paint them as an impromptu ink drawing. Besides, no one would recognize her true identity, and she was not afraid of being offended or hunted down by her ‘enemies’ for speaking out.
Don’t forget, her online dating style is like this – ‘People know me first; I don’t pay attention to someone unless they’re really good looking, or super “mai”, or something very different. If you want me to pay attention to you – yes. First go to the weigh-in, beat the ‘POLYDAR BULL’, then draw a card, and you’ll be called when your number comes up…”
The girl slowly began to post her life experiences, personal stories, and occasional poems in the parlor and in the dating area, in their entirety, with a strong sense of urgency. The more I post, the more I post.
Her screen names were all over the place – ‘Evening Forest’, ‘Honey’, ‘Slim Rain’, ‘Pouring Rain ‘, ‘Sea Water Flooding’… I used them all. I can’t even remember!
Never caring too much about the amount of response from others, the girl just wants to enjoy herself. Because of her excellent writing skills, humor, and ability to tease others and herself, she has captured the attention of every netizen on the site and is eager to get to know her in a lightning fast manner!
She’s always been a good sport, a good talker, a good friend, a willingness to stick her neck out for her online friends, a willingness to go to war, a willingness to be invincible – but no one has the guts to ask her to do that. Because that would be a very expensive price to pay.
Whoever encounters Late Lin, according to conservative estimation, after about thirty days, more than eighty percent of the body organs of that person will not be able to function normally, combined with the emergence of hallucinations, hallucinations, daydreaming, dementia, and other extremely serious ‘delusions of passionate love’.
The girl’s fire, cheerful, make everyone’s heart desire, throbbing; her beauty and sorrow, on the contrary, is full of the river’s surging tide contained immovable! The more gloomy the evening forest, the more we all care; the more joyful the girl, the more the full plate of blue sky.
Evening Forest has gradually become the ‘traffic pivot’ and ‘sunny doll’ of the parlor. Her laughter, sadness, locked eyebrows, curled lips, speechlessness, and spunkiness have repeatedly touched the overall mood of the dating section.
The girl never knew how important she was to the ‘idle’ version. And the one person who understands her and pities her is actually an older boy that the teenage girl can’t see eye to eye with!
He’s not an ordinary man!
The male protagonist is named ‘Jie’, who has been wandering around the ‘net world’ for more than half a year, claiming to be the reincarnation of Yang Zao, the second of Su Hui Zhen, the replica of Ma Ying Jiu, and nicknamed as ‘the world’s most handsome and cool super fierce man’.
I’ve been a member of the political discussion forums of the Friends section for a long time! In the early days, I roamed around the ‘Political Discussion Forum’ of the Friends section, specializing in fighting injustice, quoting scriptures, and being unforgiving. He has traveled all over the forums and the three places on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, punched the evil tigers in the South Mountain and kicked the dragons in the North Sea, and he often states his own opinions in a voluminous manner, which makes people staggered and unable to fight back.
I Ching said: “Heaven and earth closed, ‘idle’ people hidden”. Jie, who believes in the principle of “don’t enter a dangerous city, don’t live in a chaotic state”, was fed up because he couldn’t stand the noise of the political discussion area, and randomly pressed the key knots in the webpage, and accidentally crashed into the meeting room of the ‘idle’ dating area with ‘Ba’. He accidentally stumbled into the meeting room of the ‘Idle Hands’ dating area. He fell in love with the environment at first sight and decided to stay here.
Jie looked at the messages in the parlor and was mesmerized: ‘Wow, a lot of strangers who don’t know each other! All the heartfelt stories, all the heartfelt messages, unlike the political pages, which are full of curses, nonsense and obscenities. Although the feelings of each person is quite painful, but the standard is really too high! If a handsome man like me didn’t stay here, I wouldn’t be able to find a second choice!
The more he thought about it, the more pleased he became. As he scanned through the comments section, the girl’s screen name jumped out at him and immediately piqued his interest: “EVENING LAM…? She looks like a girl, doesn’t she? Yay, she’s really good at posting… “One, two,” he said, “I can’t count on my fingers, so I’m going to count on my toes.
It’s not easy, you can see her engravings on every page. She is sad, she is bored, she is trivial, she is laughing, or she just wants to talk to her friends about her love. The delicate strokes of the young girl, and her tone of voice, easily touches and tweaks the deepest part of the soul of the reader. A message from the heart. The evening forest is silently looking for the recipient.
He was completely caught up in the girl’s unique aura. Wanted to get to know her. ‘The two of us should have a similar frequency of thought and emotional resonance, right?’ A rather primitive thought.
The boys made Chat Lin their ‘number one’ target, ‘I must find a good opportunity to get close to her, to see how amazing she really is? I’ve been looking at her for a long time, and she’s the only one in the entire parlor who can compete with me…”
Jie’s eyes were filled with heartbreaking love affairs. ‘Well, in that case, I’ll be a part-time free psychiatrist, answering the questions in my heart for the lost sheep; and pretending to be crazy, so that they won’t be unhappy anymore. Otherwise, if I become the “Prince of Depression”, the world will be hopeless.”
So, the boy set up the ‘Xiaojie’s 3-in-1 Workshop of Diagnosis, Fortune-telling and Divination’ – specializing in treating lost love, petty quarrels between lovers, depression, heartache, unjustified complaints, fontanels with scary looks, and a host of other problems…. How effective is the treatment? To use a common idiom – ‘the medicine will get rid of the problem’.
, ‘Can’t heal, can’t figure out the package’.
For example, the ‘special medicine’ he suggests to overcome lost love is to tie up the person who abandoned you as a ‘straw man’, write the name of the other person on white paper with a red pen, and add a sentence at the end, ‘You heartless, heartless, eyeless, lousy person! ‘, properly pasted and hidden under the bed. Then every night, at midnight, he would stab the straw man several times to vent his anger…
Uh, he’s the only one who came up with this alternative ‘folk therapy’.
As for the rest of the ways to deal with bad moods, they are as follows – first pour cold water on them, then taunt them, then motivate the wounded hero or heroine, then raise them up to a high level, and then let them fall down, bruised and battered…. In short, I never get tired of poisoning you.
Jie’s speech then reached the sublime realm of ‘heavenly anger’, ‘human and godly indignation’, and ‘scorned by the people’, which was extraordinary and not something that could be looked up to by ordinary people. Therefore, in no time at all, the boy was given an outrageous, gut-wrenching ‘nickname’… The boy was named ‘The Demon King’, which represented the infinite ‘honor’ that the netizens had bestowed on him… really! I loved him and feared him at the same time!
The ‘Demon King’ naturally understands the true meaning of ‘the one who recognizes the time is a wise man’ – he treats the head of the parlor room, ‘Qiqi’, with utmost care and obedience. With the phrase ‘beautiful woman’ on the left, ‘beautiful woman’ on the right, ‘natural beauty is hard to abandon’ on the first line, and ‘peach blossoms on the face reflect each other in red’ on the next – he had already made Kiki look good. The next one is ‘the face of a peach blossom reflects the red’, and the next one is ‘the face of a peach blossom reflects the red’.
This way, he could move around the parlor without any obstacles. The next step was to invade the dating area and chat rooms…
Evening Forest remained the same. Her consistently pungent rhetoric, brisk tone, fickle behavior, and elusive thoughts were more and more unforgettable to Jae. Lingering curiosity frequently knocked at the ‘Demon King’s’ clever head.
What would a pretty girl with a personality like his look like?
The boy wanted to read her heart. It felt as if she was near and as if she was far away from the cape! In fact, the maiden had not yet noticed his presence.
Will the little piece of paper filled with the lonely mood of the evening forest fly safely to Jay’s feet?
If there’s a narrow road between enemies, they’ll always meet. If you’re not enemies, you won’t meet…
That day, the parlor posted a wonderful quote.
‘The clear wind is slightly brushing the waves of the lake, and the dawn moon is lightly draped in frost;
Jade Wan is covered by a slanting candle flame, and the sparse branches of the dense forest are sprinkled with silver light.
What is the need for music in the heart? The flowing clouds are like a body, not an article!
A hundred years of autumn water has been cut through, and the stars still shine in all directions.’
A brilliant and talented netizen sent Evening Forest a poem in seven lines, embedding the girl’s real name in it, and asking everyone to guess – where exactly is she ‘hiding’?
The good-hearted Jie caught the opportunity to play on the topic, “Oh, I love to see people selling secrets! The more mysterious the girl, the more interested I am. If the answer isn’t announced yet, I’ll personally dedicate a great name, ‘Bai Shuai Shuai’, to Evening Forest!”
As a result, a certain warrior who did not dare to be named added another name to the ‘Demon King’ – ‘Lucky Jie’. It was posted underneath Jie’s statement.
The teenage girl, who was about to burst into laughter, responded, “My name hasn’t been made public yet; Jae has been betrayed instead?” She then posted her answer.
“What a learned name! Refreshingly elegant, elegantly moving, I see you, throw it down, it’s so beautiful.” The boy was delighted, “Evening Forest, why don’t you tell me your last name as well? Buy one get one free!”
Oh? Is this what happens when a man meets a woman? Oh, men… “Hey, aren’t you called Jai Half-immortal?” The girl replied, “Then figure it out yourself!”
The Devil King refused to comply, and quickly played a trick: “If you don’t announce it, I can ask Ms. Kiki; if she doesn’t know, I will praise you every day until you confess…” The tone of his voice was very intimidating and coercive.
Evening Forest was not convinced: “Come on! Who’s afraid of who? Cockroaches are afraid of slippers, turtles are afraid of hammers. No matter how fast you are, no matter how vicious your mouth is, I don’t care about you, girl! I’ve always been a soft touch, not a hard one! Take your time and guess who’s afraid of whom? The tortoise is afraid of the hammer, the cockroach is afraid of the slipper, and the cockroach is most afraid of Jet. Haha! ^OO^”
The boy didn’t reply. …
The next day, the girl on the line, found that Jie actually did not say anything. She immediately typed: “Are you angry? Jie? I’m sorry! Trying to repent…/_\”.
Shortly afterward, the Demon King stepped into the parlor and replied to Evening Forest, “Don’t worry about it! I’m a man without a temper. Even if I do get angry, you can just pretend that I am. I’m just trying to scare you and make fun of you, I don’t mean any harm. I couldn’t bear to do that to you, who is so kind and sensitive. You’re the first one who dared to return the favor, even though I’ve killed many others. I welcome jokes at my expense, it shows that he values our friendship, and I certainly do joke about my friends! ~^^”
The young girl smiled in relief, her small lips opening into a bloody mouth, “Okay, then I’ll say it. But when you say I’m kind – you don’t mean I look kind?” ‘Kind-looking’ is a euphemism for ‘kind-looking ‘who follows the rules of the road”.
“Well, I finally know your original name!” Jie typed: “You are indeed a girl with a gloomy nature. What I said to you, I guarantee that it is all from the heart. Kind, confident women are the most beautiful, your name is beautiful, people are definitely more beautiful! Beauty comes from the heart, beautiful Ms. Evening Forest.” He thought he was the spokesperson for Ms. Cai Yanping’s products.
As for whether the girl agreed with the Devil King’s viewpoints…, who knows?
After a few days, Evening Forest returned to her dormitory after school. As usual, she touched the mailbox for any incoming letters, and it was still a thin, cold paper cover.
It’s time. The ultimatum between her and the boy she had a crush on…
The young girl sat down at her desk, steadied her breathing, calmed herself, picked up her letter cutter, and carefully slit the envelope along the sticky edge. The fingers that removed the letterhead trembled slightly.
She read the content carefully, nervously, breathlessly, and her suspended heart instantly plunged into a dark abyss… The other party rejected it. Almost a year of intermittent correspondence. He was only willing to keep his relationship with her as a pen pal. Nothing more.
A single teardrop that crumbled onto the ball of crumpled paper. Evening Forest pressed her hands tightly against the desktop, letting the tears crawl over her sad cheeks. Crying, she couldn’t find a better way to vent. Crying, she shook her head, she didn’t believe it, she wanted to deny the truth. Crying…
“Am I… am I destined to fail at the word ‘love’?” The girl cried out in pain, “Why? There is nothing wrong with me! I cared for and adored you as much as anyone else! Why won’t you accept me? ~I don’t want it!”
Evening Lin slightly calmed down the surging emotions, connected to the parlor, sketching the mood at the time of profiling: “Today I received a letter from that boy, he hastily wrote some insignificant words. I’m so stupid, always trapped in love, hurt by love. Since I was a child, I asked to learn to be independent. And after independence, what do I taste? No one understands me, I’m groping in the dark.”
“I am afraid of being independent, I miss my home and my mom so much. Whenever my father ranted and insulted the family over trivial matters, my mother always defended me and helped me. When I was a child, she held my hand firmly and looked at me with tears in her eyes: ‘Wanlin, it doesn’t matter if your father doesn’t love you; mom will love you for the rest of your life.’ This sentence, mom has been abiding by for ten years. It has never changed.”
The young girl gently wiped away the sea of tears that came to her eyes, “My father is even stranger to me than an outsider! If I blamed my mom just because I was born a daughter, I hated him so much! Whoever finds this, I love him… Whoever finds this, I love you…” The girl had no desire to continue. Her entire heart was filled with helpless hatred and tears.
She placed what she wanted to say on the second page of the parlor layout that no one ever bothered to look at again. A rich frustration, spoken to herself alone.
Coincidentally, Jie’s reply immediately followed: “Evening Forest, I saw your message. Hehe, will you fall in love with me? Maybe it’s just me, but your message seems to have a hint of a cry for help. Don’t worry, I’m willing to quietly listen to your story, no matter how long and painful it is. To help you share and tell you jokes, if I can.”
“It’s the second page anyway! Nobody pays attention. My family’s situation was not much different from yours – my father was so opposed to my sister’s marriage that he was willing to tear his face off with her and even treated her as an enemy! But it was only after my mom’s persuasion, my future brother-in-law’s and sister’s sincerity, and most importantly, my words of wisdom, that his heart of stone completely broke down. My oldest sister is now very happy!”
“So, even if you don’t have the love of your father, you still have the affection of your mother and brother, plus the ‘firm love’ (firm friendship) of Jie! What’s the point of losing under the spell of love? I volunteered to be a clown, sacrificing the good image of the Demon King to win you a charm! Evening Forest, you are heartbreaking. You’ll find a boy who’s really good for you, believe me. As far as I know, there’s an alternate here! …”
After reading it, the girl’s eyes suddenly misted up: “Jie, thank you for your encouragement! But who is this ‘alternate’ you speak of?”
“Heh heh! Whoever you think he is, he’ll show up lo!” The boy avoided answering.
The girl quickly typed out a line: “Oh yeah? Then when I go abroad for a short-term study trip this year, I’ll find an ‘ado boy’ to marry!”
“What the hell? The ‘Ado Boys’ are hairy, some of them don’t like to bathe, they stink of foxes, and they look like gorillas. Would you like it?”
“Who said that? Our English teacher is quite clean! The only disadvantage of marrying a foreign husband is that he can’t understand what I’m saying when we argue. But if my husband is a Chinese, I can alternate between Mandarin, Taiwanese, Hakka, Japanese, and English, and it’s very enjoyable.” She deserves to be called a ‘talented woman’.
The two of them spent the night chatting and rambling across the computer screen. …
The boys stared at their computers for the first time giggling and bursting into laughter all night long.
“Tell you what, how about tomorrow I type up my first love story and make you laugh?
“The Demon King is really considered righteous.
Eveningwood thought for a moment, “I’m sleepy, time to go snuggle up with Honey and fall asleep! You want to post the story or not, whatever! We’ll talk about it then!”
The two of them then formally exchanged goodbyes and each went to bed, back to their beds and flattened themselves out.
The young girl’s ‘cha-bei-bei’ personality, vibrant breath, and sharp writing style were right up Jay’s alley. Evening Forest’s name fermented and sprouted in his heart, stirring up bouts of subtle physical and chemical changes. A program of feelings that could not be deduced.
The devil didn’t notice. In the same way, the seeds of love only drifted to the heart of the evening forest, gently attaching themselves without taking root – purely for the sake of having fun on the Internet.
And sure enough, the round Jie delivered his first love story as promised: ‘Back in the day, I was a man of great stature, adored by all, but my earlobes were unusually thick… Do you want to know why? I’ll tell you why.
When I was in third grade, I had a crush on a little beauty in my class. I would stare at her in class, not wanting to look at the ‘old’ beauty standing at the podium teaching.
However, because Xiaojie I am too handsome, the old beauty will always pay attention to me, and I often stare at the young beauty. She couldn’t help but be jealous, and was in dire need of an attack.
One day, she finally couldn’t help herself and called me to the podium and asked loudly, “Jie, let me ask you. You don’t look at the blackboard in class, so what are your eyes for?”
Since I was so embarrassed, I might as well give the little beauty a deep impression. Like a monk, I wisely replied to her, “Of course it’s for eye drops!”
“What about your head?” The teacher cried and laughed.
“It’s for wearing a hat when you have to go to school.” Look how good I am.
The old beauty said with love and hate, “Where are your ears?”
Oh no, it’s all come down to this. I’m a man of honor. I shouted, “It’s for the teacher!”
Do you understand? Those blessed earlobes of mine are hard to come by!
And the little beauty? When she saw me in the future, she saw me as a naughty monkey, without any heterosexual feelings or fantasies, and treated me only as a brother…
Whoa! I’ve fallen out of love! Poor Jie Oh! ><‘
The boy diligently writes his masterpiece, which is full of funny colors and hidden blood and tears, in an attempt to amuse the evening forest. The girl reads it and comments on it with only two words: ‘Boring!
It’s hard to be good!
How could Jie stop there? He continued to laugh and play underneath the articles published by Evening Forest. Gradually, the young girl discovers the boy’s unknown side – behind the mask of his smiling face, he is just like her, he is also lost, sentimental and sad. Both are in disguise, both are alone.
Evening Lin and Jie started to communicate with each other through e-mail, and most of the letters consisted of kind words to comfort each other, jokes that only they could understand, and miscellaneous stories and notes that they could share with each other.
In time, rumors spread in the parlor and dating area that Jai was in hot pursuit of Evening Forest.
The parties involved are neither admitting, clarifying nor denying, very much like the three no’s policy when a popular idol star makes a slanderous rumor.
Subsequently, the late forest as desired to study abroad for two months, they temporarily cut off the news. Thanks to a kind little god of love passed the girl’s ICQ number to the king of magic, this pair of wonderful enemies resumed contact! Fortunately, the two months flew by.
The boy receives a special airmail letter from the girl sent back from abroad, which he reads through as if it were a treasure.
It has always been treasured in the heart, a seat of utmost importance.
Of course, we send e-cards to each other on New Year’s Day as a matter of course! Occasionally, Jie is so confused that he mistakenly sends a Valentine’s Day card to his newly recognized god-sister on the Internet (is it natural for an Aquarius boy to be affectionate?)! This is a big joke! This is a big joke! The content is not only incorrect, the use of words heart, and the tone of voice and make people goosebumps, forced to laugh until the end of the reading had to be sent to the hospital to hang drip, cardiac massage!
The uninformed little god-sister looked puzzled and had to send an email to find out – who is Honey, the main character? The devil’s authority was now gone… The devil made a decisive decision – he first wrote a letter to the god-sister explaining what had happened, and then apologized to the ‘beloved’ girl and asked for forgiveness.
“It doesn’t matter! I’m afraid that your god-sister who received the Valentine’s card will not dare to recognize you as her god-brother because she recognized your true face!” Evening Forest said he didn’t care. That’s not true.
The boy was afraid of everything, but he didn’t dare to make a move against her: “Is it… really…? You won’t blame me?” The question was asked with caution and fear.
“Grace! This is not to be repeated! If you wander off again, bring your ‘devil’ to me! I’ll fry an egg with the oil from your body!”
Xiao Jie groveled and worshiped respectfully, saying, “Yes, Great King of the Mountain Woman, thank you for not killing me!
“Secretly relieved. Otherwise, being flayed is the most ‘basic’ punishment.
“I still appreciate that you were willing to send me a card to make it a warm and fuzzy Valentine’s Day.
Besides… there are other people who send me Valentine’s Cards too,” he said.
It’s unbearable.
However, the boy was just a bit unlucky. Whenever Lin entered the chat room to look for the Demon King, she would find him chatting with other female netizens. Suddenly, the girl’s anger flared up – ‘I’m only chatting with you’? I only have you in my heart’?
The big vinegar jar spilled over and drowned a lot of people. The two had a big fight, the ground shook and the stars perished. Jie is the one who suffers the most. He knelt down again to apologize.
The bickering and bickering made the relationship even better. Admittedly, talking with Evening Forest was the greatest enjoyment for the Demon King, the surprises, the excitement, never knowing what she was going to say next.
Jie can recognize his god-sister, and Mai-Mai’s teenage daughter has a lot of ‘admirers’. She has a list of seven recognized ‘online lovers’ alone, plus three dragons – the boy’s hypothetical ‘enemies’ are quite numerous. But the Brave One is fearless and the Demon King is invincible. He doesn’t care.
In the chat room, Evening Forest had long been considered ‘King’s Landing’, typing in seconds was unique in the martial arts. Xiao Jie can only sigh in admiration.
The Demon King: I say, Khun Boonlueang, you’re typing too fast. I can’t keep up… And you’re not answering my questions, you don’t care about me, and you seem to be busy…
[Evening Grove]: I’m talking to someone else too!
The Demon King: Wow, I’m so focused on talking to you that you can be distracted by someone else’s Hara!
[Evening Forest]: That’s nothing! I can talk to fifteen people at once!
Demon King: Ten or fifteen? I don’t want to be one of your fifteen!
What a heavy sour smell! It’s Jie’s turn to break the vinegar jar.
Evening Grove: You’re one-fifteenth of me? That’s a joke! What does it matter to you how many people I talk to? Do you need Jie’s approval? You’re great! ~\I’m in big trouble! It was too late for the boy to apologize. They fought a lot, until Evening Forest was no longer angry.
When did Jie realize that he had changed, when did he inadvertently contradict his original principles – when he fell in love with a girl he had never met before, even to the point of jealousy and fighting over rankings?
He is a rational man. He thought he could restrain his emotions from turning into a wild horse and never get caught up in the vortex of cybersex. However, he failed. His love for her had grown so much that the walls of reason could not contain it. …
One day, he inadvertently saw a conversation in a chat room between Evening Forest and a certain netizen, Brother B.
[Evening Forest]: Brother B, I think I’m in love with someone. Even though I’ve never met him, I’m still in love…
B: Well, that’s good! You need to be careful with this relationship.
[Chorin]: I know! Even if it’s just for a second, I’ll seize that precious moment…
The peeping boy’s face was red and his heart was beating close to one hundred and thirty beats. Could the young girl be referring to him when she said the lucky one?
Jie, who is extremely confident, holds an optimistic answer – ‘Yes’!
And what does the girl think?
Chapter Four: The Joyful Zen of Love (3) – Born to be a Wonderful Enemy
Doubts kept in the mind would sooner or later smother the disease. Given Jie’s acute nature, it was impossible for him not to pursue the root of the problem.
[Jay]: Evening Forest, let me ask you a small… small… small question, is that okay?
Evening Forest: Yes, go ahead and ask!
Jai: Last time, I accidentally saw a conversation between you and Mr. B. You said that you’re in love with a boy you’ve never met…. Is that true?
Evening Forest: You’re too much! How can you spy on people’s chats? Well, that’s one thing. So?
Jae: I guess, it’s purely a guess, is it possible that the person you’re talking about is me?
[Evening Grove]: Your powers of association are excellent! It’s like ‘Sherlock Holmes’.
! Hee hee hee.
Jae: Please, tell me!
The boy’s agony melted her heart.
[Evening Grove]: Yes, it’s ~you~! Are you satisfied?
[Jae]: Wow, haha! It’s a great pride to be born a man! I’m so happy!
Don’t be overjoyed! I said, ‘I loved Jie, even if it was only for a second.’ I meant, ‘I loved you once. It means: ‘I loved you once, and it was really only for a second’.
. Understood? Hahahahaha~^O^O^O^O^O^O^O^
[Jae]: Wow, it’s a test! …@#$%^&=*/,? ;! …
The young girl’s move was really amazing! The Demon King was at a loss for words… The boy, deeply moved, finally gave up his pretense of being ‘reserved’ and intended to love and cherish Evening Prim with all his heart and soul. The girl had already made her stand, so everything was fine! As the saying goes, ‘the man is in love, the girl is in love’, and it’s too late to put the brakes on this love!
All day long the dust is accompanied by smoke, only envious of lovebirds but not of immortals.
Evening Forest]: People’s dream romance should be – ‘on the evil, I want to know the gentleman, long life without end decline, mountain without mausoleum, the river for exhaustion, winter thunder vibration, summer rain and snow, heaven and earth together, dare to be with the gentleman to end! . It’s one of my favorite love poems, and it’s very beautiful!
Jai: It’s too advanced, Kobayashi. Would you please translate…
[Evening Grove]: Listen well! The word “on evil” is an auxiliary word with no meaning. Therefore, the poem says – ‘I want to know you and stay with you, never change. Even if the edges of the mountains are smoothed out by the years, the rivers dry up, the thunder shakes in the winter, the snow falls in the summer, heaven and earth become one, and the end of the world comes, I will never separate from you!
[Jae]: Well, it’s a great love. I’m impressed. I’m impressed.
[Evening Grove]: Saying ‘I love you’ on the internet is just three words. However, in life, it is a spell, a straitjacket, restricting your thinking and behavior. Love is a responsibility, done without complaint, a transitive verb, not a pronoun.
Jae: Hey, why are you so serious?
[Evening Forest]: So… can you meet the standards mentioned in the poem?
Jae: Wow! I’ll never live to see that? You think I’m a High-Lander?
Evening Forest: One in a thousand is enough. Ancient people were so romantic! It’s not like modern people who just pursue ready-made love, who are so concerned about a quick fix that in the end, not a single trace of a memorable moment is left behind.
[Jay]: I agree with you.
The boy nodded. He was very determined – he had to find a way to do the little ‘one in a thousand’ no matter what. So it is with those who can do something.
The phrases that people often use to describe the eagerness and fervor of love between a man and a woman – such as ‘heavenly thunder stirring up the earth’s fire’, ‘dry wood burning fiercely’, ‘volcanic eruption’ and so on – are not enough to describe the powerful beat of the eight-octave scale of their love song. The powerful beats of the octave scale of their love song are not enough to describe them!
Evening Lin, Jie officially talked about online dating. The e-mails to and from each other are like dandruff, and cannot be enumerated. Texts, conversations, or the medium of communication between the two hearts. Delivering laughter, love, hope and dreams.
The boy felt that there had to be a ‘big breakthrough’, a ‘big leap forward’ between them; otherwise, they would not be able to pull off the surprise and succeed in capturing the young girl’s uncertain heart. He was stuck in the middle of a long examination… Jie had a bright idea – the girl’s birthday was in early November, and it was now close to the end of October, with three days to go. Why not celebrate her birthday? It was a double whammy, and the mysterious smile of love appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He flipped through his organizer and found the hard-won phone number. Taking a breath, he pressed a string of digits, and the feeling of the keys on his fingertips heightened his anxiety and excitement…
“Huh? You’re celebrating my birthday? Want me to go to Taichung?” The young girl was very surprised.
The boy replied in the affirmative: “Yes, in order to show my love for you, a love that burns so brightly that the sun is dwarfed by it – shall we meet formally?” His invitation was bold and heartfelt.
“This~, Jai…, your invitation makes me very happy. But aren’t you afraid that I am a woman who is nothing?” Evening Forest hesitated.
He immediately responded, “How can that be? You can’t be a ‘nothing’ girl – you at least have me, Jie! Little fool.”
“That’s true.” The young girl laughed sweetly: “I’m most afraid that you’re a ‘nothing like’ meat-eating dinosaur man!” Still not losing his humor.
The boy then persuaded, “I have a feeling that if we don’t take advantage of this opportunity, we’ll regret it for the rest of our lives. It will be too late for you to regret it! Don’t you have any interest or imagination in the true nature of my evil?”
The gentle Late Lin was moved: “I agree. Let’s do what you want! But once we meet, we should have a way to make sure our identities are correct, right?”
“Can’t we just exchange personal photos on ICQ?”
“Uh-huh! It’s a deal! I’ll send the photos later! Bye!” The two exchanged goodbyes.
Shortly afterward, she sent and received the photo and video files. The girl did receive a not-so-clear picture of her personal ‘big head’; needless to say, it was that of the Demon King, Jie.
‘This photo seems to have been taken in upper elementary school or junior high school…’ Evening Grove scrutinized the man in the photo, ‘He has a lean and shapely face, especially with a pair of rather “sad” eyes, and a preoccupied appearance. Poor thing. He needs someone to be true to him, doesn’t he? She sympathized…’ she said.
The young girl stood up, ‘What kind of boy will you be, Jai?’ Anticipation, a newborn ray of love.
The boys similarly received an ‘art salon photo’. However, the pretty smile of the evening forest is vaguely recognizable. The bright eyes, the small nose, the tender red lips, the desire to speak, but also like a thousand words, the eyes of a piece of the blossoming clarity of the charm through the screen, wrapped around his breath.
He was drunk, drunk on the mellow wine of Eros. …
Doesn’t cybersex, in fact, come from a delusional fantasy world?
One weekend. The day of Latewood’s birthday. A special anniversary in the boy’s life.
Xiaojie was too lazy to dig through the box, specially ran to the night market to select a few pieces of decent clothes, to completely change their identity, inside and outside the refurbishment and strengthening; and then wash, wax, and beautify the 125cc locomotive that had not been washed for several months, everything was brand new.
The boys who were still studying returned to the school lab to prepare and rehearse for the young girl’s visit in case of an ‘unforeseen’ situation.
“Hey, my beloved Junior Jie, why do you look so much more handsome today? Wearing new clothes and a new hat?” A few naughty schoolmates saw the boy walk in and quickly leaned over to inquire about the situation.
The boy’s eyebrows smiled and his mouth was full of laughter: “Of course there’s a reason why I’ve become handsome. If you want to know, it depends on how sincere you are…” New look, new mood.
The schoolmates would not stop, “Senior, why don’t you tell us! If you don’t tell us, we won’t guess out. It’s not like we’re millennial roundworms in your stomach!”
Jae favored ‘torture’, “If you guys don’t guess, how do you know you won’t?”
Another smile, find a movable chair and sit in style. Nice and neat.
They made wild guesses, one from you and one from me. The boy shook his head and smiled, just unwilling to reveal the mystery.
A few of the men argued and frothed at the mouth. Jai took pity on their ‘bowing and scraping’
He said slowly, “Well, on account of you guys being my schoolmates, I’ll say~!”
“Senior, make a move!” The onlookers all perked up their ears and listened intently.
“I’m going to fetch a great beauty here later.” Jai’s eyes glowed with the holy light of admiration-Hallelujah!
“Oh! So oh~!” The boy heard snickers of thievery coming from all around him.
It’s no wonder these schoolchildren are giving back so much. Because…
One of them asked: “It must be that Ms. Evening Forest who makes you not think about tea, not think about food, not write your homework, not pay for your program, and often face the computer Monitor and smile obsessively – your ‘highest’ online lover, right?” Once again, a burst of ambiguous laughter was provoked.
When it comes to Jie and the girl’s online relationship, they know everything – even the couple’s flirtatious conversations and affectionate phrases on the chat, which they know by heart.
“Senior, you’re so good, why don’t you teach us a few sure-fire tips for chasing your girlfriend?
We’re good to learn.”
The boy skimmed his lips, “Okay, bring the tuition. I pick one-on-one teaching, guaranteed to learn until.” The magic doesn’t change.
The schoolmate frowned, “Well~, we are all poor students! Otherwise, it’s okay if you write a love letter for me!”
“That’s fine, discretionary labor charges.” Jie’s words changed, “However, when I go to pick up Late Lin to come, you are not allowed to secretly follow me. Otherwise, big~ torture~ wait~!”
The majesty of the schoolmaster was expressed to the fullest extent.
The group shuddered, “Yes, sir!”
“Also, you are not allowed to expose me or spit on me; that pile of strange and inappropriate pictures on the hard disk of your computer will disappear for the time being; and you are not allowed to go online and grab anything today…”. By the way, while I’m gone, clean up the lab and bring back the birthday cake I ordered. I’ll bring her to the lab to visit, surf the net and talk.”
The boy warned, “You don’t need me to remind you when to disappear, do you?
“Eyes flashing ‘fierce’.
“Don’t worry, senior! For the sake of your lifelong happiness, we will vow to fulfill the mission you entrusted to us! It is incumbent upon us!” The impassioned fighters. Thanks to Jie’s usual teaching.
The boy nodded his head in satisfaction and went out to meet his date in peace.
He raced to the train station on his motorcycle, taking a moment to catch his breath, “Luckily, there’s some time.
“Jai stood at the exit of the ticket cutting and waited patiently. Not worrying about meeting each other.
It doesn’t matter if you spend your whole life waiting. Release the warmth in your heart completely.
Looking forward, the boy finally expects the missed Self-strengthening number to come into the station and stop. Evening Forest was among the passengers who were pouring out. She, too, was looking for a spiritual stop. Who is it? Who is it?
The young girl followed the crowd towards the exit and handed back her ticket stub, looking around with clear, crystalline eyes: ‘Is he here yet? I don’t think I’ll be late for my first “date”, right?’
As she looked, there was a handsome man standing to her right, who looked like, and didn’t quite look like, him. Could it be him? Just as she was about to ask, a hot girl appeared out of nowhere and wrapped her arms around him, picking him up. The girl’s joy was wasted.
Evening Grove took a few steps to her right, and a boy’s face jumped out at her. Is it…? Why don’t we just walk over and ask?
He saw a slender, bright-eyed girl walking lightly towards him, graceful and graceful. A narrow light green mini-skirt made the boy’s hands busy.
He rushed forward to confirm the girl’s purpose.
She fixed her eyes on him and asked him, not quite sure, “Are you Little Jay?”
“You~ are~ Evening~ Rin~?” The same skeptical tone.
Can not be wrong. The two of them were impressed by the combination of two unidentified clusters of shadows and reality, and their hearts could not help but show their teeth and smile. A courtesy of a first meeting.
There was no sense of embarrassment or awkwardness. It’s as if the boy and the girl knew each other from a previous life. Laughing creates the first double-sided adhesive that fits.
Jie could not find the words to start the conversation, but it was probably best to leave it at that. Suddenly, he felt a coldness behind him – something was wrong, and immediately turned back!
Not far away stood two boys – Xiao Jie’s schoolmates who came to ‘check on the military situation’. After their behavior was exposed, they still had a weird smile on their faces, and both of them raised their fingers to the senior – meaning: ‘the future “sister-in-law” is really as beautiful as a flower, and water as much as’.
”Didn’t I tell you not to track me?” The boy was both angry and amused, ”If you’re not kind, I’m sorry if I’m not righteous.”
The first thing you need to enjoy a perfect and elegant first date is to never have anyone ‘tagging along’.
“Jai, what’s wrong? Who are those two who greeted you?”
“They’re my lab mates – famous campus gossips, probably here to spy on us. If we don’t want our pictures to be published in the school magazine, we’d better run away and get rid of them early! It’s not like there’s going to be a lot of trouble.” He deliberately exaggerated the seriousness of the situation.
The girl does not express her opinion. Jie drove Evening Forest, without looking back, and fled desperately in a puff of smoke!
Beautiful cars and beautiful people. Jie circled around and around in Taichung City, but couldn’t make a name for himself.
The young girl looked at the boy in disbelief, “You’re not lost, are you? Do you need to get a map?
“Advice of Conscience.
The boy played dumb, “I don’t know. Who teaches that every street looks alike?” Bravely, the play continues.
In fact, he had been living in Taichung for quite some time – he could find the name of any road with his eyes closed. It’s just that… suddenly, by accident…
As for why he did it…? Why bother asking?
He turned the car around and advanced towards the school. As a result, it was still back to the ‘True Pot’ cafe directly in front of the school’s entrance to have Chinese food. The attempt was too obvious.
The online couple declared to be seated at this point. The two ordered their meals before the topic of small talk was officially launched.
“Hm~? I can’t really tell you’re that civilized, Jie. However, there is a ‘slight discrepancy’ between me and the photo, so I’m afraid there may be a suspicion of ‘inaccurate advertisement’!” Evening Forest smiled playfully, “I’m going to file a complaint with the CPSF when I get home!”
He looked unimpressed, “Come on, who says a demon king has to look ‘mean’ and ‘scary’ and have a long tail?”
“I was fooled by your blueeyes in the picture!” The young girl laughed lightly again, “You talk so good, do you brush your teeth with your tail all the time?”
Jie had a mouthful to say. The mute man ate his mouth full of yellow lotus.
The impasse of strangeness was instantly shattered. They were like old friends meeting on the street, chatting about everything. Once the box opens, the mouth can not stop. Talking about each other, gossip, comment on the Internet, than interest, study the outlook on life, criticism of current affairs. Fighting, arguing, joy, laughter.
There was no end to the subject matter, no end to the words, no end to the hooks and claws. In the end, the boy’s lips were only cataracted, and he had no idea what he was talking about. The evening forest in front of him ‘smiling wryly, beautiful eyes look forward to, so as to be gorgeous’. His warm, messy heart, let the girl’s figure heavily left a mark of love.
The young girl’s large, watery eyes blinked rhythmically, projecting into the boy’s mind. All the brain cells were swaying and bobbing along with her eyelashes. It was like the sparkling blue ocean in the afternoon, lapping and counting the rhythm in the soft wind.
As Jie fell into a stupor, his natural intelligence was reduced from ten points to nine points, and he fell completely under the spell of Evening Forest’s…
The boy asked himself to see a lot of beautiful girls, later Lin more outstanding people are not lacking. However, they were only admired and never touched by his heart. Only this little girl is different, especially in the fate – the fate of the universe! Born to be enemies!
A lunch just took a whole three hours.
”Uh~, where should I take Wanlin again?” Jie was in a quandary, ‘Taichung is a big place, how can there not be a place for me to fall in love? Then…’
“Evening Forest, then… I’ll take you to the Zhongxing University campus to take a walk around it.” The location was a bit uninteresting, but having company was different.
On the banks of Zhongxing Lake, the boy and the maiden strolled aimlessly. The light of the water, the crowds, the flowers, competing with each other; the sun lazily sprinkled gold dust, gentle, comfortable, pleasant, carefully embellishing the sparkling day. Some of the cold scene, the eyes have not been removed from the evening forest, Jie pondered, how to drive the interaction of the relationship between the two.
The boy looked around, “Today is a good day. Look, a lot of people are taking outside wedding photos! Let’s go over there to join in the fun and get some good luck.”
“Wow! Look, there’s a pair of roos right over there.” The girl pointed ahead.
He looked at it, “Uh~, yes. The bride is beautiful.”
Evening Forest shook his head and said, “No, that’s not right! Is the groom handsome.” He glanced at him, rather unimpressed.
“If you were to be the bride, you would look dozens of times more beautiful than her when dressed up!” The alert Jie quickly complimented.
The girl covered her mouth and laughed loudly, “But if you were to play the groom, you wouldn’t be as handsome as he is!” The trick was successful.
The boy’s heart was filled with mixed feelings and flavors for a moment. He dared not speak out in anger. They traveled a little further in parallel to another couple taking their wedding photos. The two beauty pageant judges were once again very critical and judgmental.
“At first glance, it doesn’t seem quite right… It’s a pity that the bride is a bit chubby,” said Jie, feeling deeply sorry for her.
She nodded in agreement this time, “Yes! And the groom is too short!”
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he saw several sharp, resentful glances directed at the two men. They put on their friendly smiles, shut up, backpedaled, turned around, and ran!
Finally out of harm’s way. He and the girl walked as if nothing had happened. Late Lin and Jie were expecting, waiting for an unknown surprise.
The boy asked the girl in a small, tentative voice, “Evening Forest, can I… can I hold your hand and walk together…?” His voice was as thin as a mosquito’s.
“Wha-What? Holding hands?” She replied with a loud voice, “No way! I’m very clean, very conservative! My classmates told me, ‘You’re not allowed to touch my hand for six months.'”
Jae’s face twitched and twisted slightly, “Your classmate has a cruel streak. I’ve decided I’m going to sneak her out of the way!” Indiscreet flashed his famous evil grin.
“However, she didn’t say ─ ‘You may not hold Jie’s hand during the six months of the evening forest.’ Ah! Hahaha, so…” She snatched the boy’s hand and held it tightly.
He was stunned, flattered, and ashamed for a moment.
(Evening Grove: That’s not the right version! She’s too beautiful and beautiful to do such a thing…)
The girl pouted: “Jie, I’m a little tired. I want to take a rest.”
“Lucky. There’s a big rock over there to sit on.” He pulled the young girl and ran over to it.
They sit on a boulder by the lake and take a nap. Watching the floating clouds, changing, unpredictable. The wind is a little urchin who loves to pinch pottery and play recklessly in the air.
“That cloud is me, this cloud is you.” The boy pointed to the sky and spoke leisurely, “Our love is a common projection. If the wind blows, I want to be your immovable ‘Stone Daredevil’; if the rainstorm rages, I want to be your unshakeable steel building…”
Evening Forest was slightly touched and his shoulders shook slightly.
Jie exhaled, “When I see you, there is always a kind of indescribable affection, we may be connected with a long-lasting destiny, right?”
“The farthest distance in the world is not between life and death. ┅” The girl paused and instead deliberately refrained from going on. Everyone knew that this was a famous line from Mr. Tagore.
“And then what?” He gulped nervously.
The girl replied calmly, “┅Rather, although you are near my eyes, you don’t realize that in your last life you owed me a great deal of would money! Come and pay your debt!” And then she laughed out loud.
Jie almost fell off the boulder, “I thought you were going to say – ‘We were a loving couple 500 years ago, and we met in order to renew our relationship’…” with a bitter smile.
“Hmph! I wouldn’t be embarrassed to say something so heartfelt!” Evening Forest jumped back to the ground and made a cute face.
“Count me out!” The boy followed up, “Just go to my school, aren’t you going to visit my ‘Magic Cave’ lab?”
Evening Forest “Eh!” A cry and a happy nod. …
As soon as they entered the lab, they were immediately warmly welcomed by Jie’s juniors. Everyone was clamoring to see the beauties, and the crowd was unprecedented.
“Wow! Jie, what did you prepare such a big birthday cake for?” Her beautiful eyes were wide as if she had bumped into an alien creature.
Nearly twenty-five inches of whipped cream cake. Delicious, it’s always a pain in the heart of a beautiful woman. A ‘question mark’ type wax is inserted into the cake – just enough to bring out the age of a young girl.
It was the most special birthday that Evening Forest had ever had. A large group of boys accompanied her to sing the ‘Happy Birthday’ song and offer their sincere wishes. Her eyes were wet with happy tears.
“Huh, why did I forget to buy a gift?” Jie deeply blamed himself, “Then~, Evening Forest ah, you can just wrap me up randomly and take me away as a gift!”
The girl beamed, “There’s enough insincerity! If I were to accept you as a gift, I’d just shove it in the trash can!” The two faced off against Ro.
The boy looked at Evening Forest with a sad look in his eyes. The girl with the fake pouting lips smiled: “Don’t look at me with that pathetic ‘bear’ look! You’re so attentive, even if there’s no gift, I’m still happy!”
Jie is such a teenage girl’s delight. Evening Forest hadn’t relaxed herself that much in a long time. …Taichung Railway Station. They stood by the southbound platform. The boy stared fixedly at the girl, unable to muster the courage to speak, repeatedly wiggling the knuckles of his fingers.
“Jie, just say what you want to say. I hate the way you stammer.”
“I… want to ask you… is there a chance for us to meet again?” He was afraid that the young girl would refuse.
Evening Forest blinked, “That’s a question… I’ll have to go back and ask my agent.”
“Huh?” The boy was dumbfounded, “You don’t want to keep going out with me?”
“Basically…,” the girl said seriously, “I’m giving you a ‘pass’ on your impression score, your behavior. In other words, we will dwell on it again…”
Jie released a smile, “I’m very happy to be involved with you. Because, that’s what I’ve been waiting for all my life…”
“Jie…” “Evening Forest…” I always wanted to say more, but the Self-Strengthening had arrived at the station on time.
“Remember to call me when you get back to your place.”
“Eh! Take care of yourself! By the way, you’re heavy enough as it is.”
“You take care too.”
“I’m leaving! Don’t dream of me in the middle of the night…”
Once in the carriage, the young girl picked a seat by the window and sat down. Gazing down at the boy. The glass, blocking the flow of words, can not block the two hearts mingled.
The train slowly moved and left the station. Evening Forest waved goodbye to the boys outside the window, and Jie waved his arms hard, moving at the speed of the train, following it. He can’t take his eyes off her; the only thing he’s holding on to is her. Evening Forest.
The girl has scored the first symphony on his love score. The sound is heard in the heavens.
The dusky, slanting sun reflected off the end of the platform. Jai’s hand finally drops, and the Self-Empowerment shrinks to a black dot, hidden from the meeting of the far horizon.
Railroad tracks, really long. Or, thoughts, more shapely and far away than it is.
What about the future? How long will it be? …
Did you pick up that note?
‘Whoever findsthis, Iloveyou’…
