Kite

Author Mu Yue (Grade 10 English College)

The Summer Palace in winter is so empty and desolate that only the empty wind is left. A few tourists who seemed to be from Korea walked by sparsely, looking around shivering with small flags. Ling Yun climbed up a large rock, climbed up the stone steps, and walked to a stone doorway. Half of it was in the shadow, and the other half was in the shadow of the drunken sun. She leaned against the doorway and looked back at w88 casino games login behind her. The wind passed through the doorway in front of her, and her hair flew up and disturbed half of her face. This moment of silence suddenly gave rise to immortal senses, as if I had melted into the stone bricks behind me and become a stone sculpture.

Yesterday, what she saw was a haggard Ayu, with eyes almost protruding from his disk-like face, soaked red with tears. He didn't speak or look up at her, he just looked dumb. He was holding the phone in his hand, the white casing already mottled. The nails dug into the hands, leaving deep crescent marks.

She knocked on the door outside for a long time, and the old woman wearing dark floral pajamas next door stuck her head out, her eyes wandered unceremoniously over her body, and then retracted. Ling Yun stood in the corridor in a daze, but there were still two cold glances behind him, and he could clearly hear the woman shouting with a loud voice - a little girl of about twelve or thirteen slipped into the neighbor's house. She pretended to be innocent when she was hit, pretended to be lost, and begged someone to take her back. The man believed her. Fortunately, the woman became suspicious and found out that she had lost her property and took her to the police station. The little girl still refused to admit it.

The door creaked open, and when she went in and turned to close it, she still heard high and low bleatings - and finally it was a wad of money that a female police officer found from the slit of her crotch. She turned out to be a habitual criminal...

Only one bedside table lamp was turned on in the room, and the bright yellow light illuminated w88 casino games login's exposed arms. She lay face inward on the bed, staring at the glass fish tank beside the bed. Inside, a dark blue betta fish was swimming slowly, its tail had been broken into strips, and there was a faint trace of blood.

"The other one is dead. He said he couldn't keep it in one place, so I have to put it in one place"

w88 casino games login’s voice was as faint as a gossamer, and he fell there without moving.

Ling Yun sighed and walked over, picked up the scattered papers on the ground, and was about to throw them into the small carton next to the table. He caught a glimpse of the writing on them, and finally piled them on the table. He sat down on the edge of the bed and stroked her back and said, "Why bother? Things like feelings just come and go."

w88 casino games login turned around, leaning on the bed with one elbow, his eyes were full, and he said in a trembling voice, "How can I care about so much? How much have I suffered for him?" It's so painful, my soul has been ruined, it's been ruined, Ayun, do you know!" She turned over and threw herself on the pillow, her shoulders shook violently but she didn't make a sound. She stayed in the pillow for a long time before turning her face to the side and gasping for air.

Ling Yun waited for her to calm down and took out a box of washed strawberries from her bag, pinched one and put it to w88 casino games login's mouth, then took a glass from the table to pour boiling water.

w88 casino games login bit the strawberry in his mouth and said in a hoarse voice, "You don't know. He said that everything around him made him breathless. Those who wore masks and smiled at him all day long but tightened his neck, those who were wearing flowers and doing disgusting dirty deeds behind the scenes, he could only watch helplessly, unable to shed tears. I saved him! I saved him!"

w88 casino games login's eyes stared brightly at Ling Yun's face, almost like firelight popping out under the bright yellow light, but they were covered with a thin layer of tears. Ling Yun suddenly became a little distracted. Such resentful and pitiful eyes were no stranger to her memory. She and w88 casino games login are both children who lack family care. Although they have known each other since adulthood, they have an amazing psychological understanding.

She listened silently and dissociatedly. After all, he couldn't let go of everything around him that he originally hated, his strong and domineering woman, the career he endured like a walking zombie, and the hypocrisy and coercion he was least good at. He was firmly locked up.

w88 casino games login himself proposed to visit the empty garden in the windy weather the next day. After hearing this, Ling Yun just nodded and said yes, watching w88 casino games login put on his hat, scarf and gloves and walked to the subway station together.

There are still traces of snow in the garden, the boats and waves are frozen, the beauty of the willows, greens and pinks has faded, and half of the three souls and seven souls of people are gone in the cold wind. After resting for a while leaning on the railing of the Mirror Bridge, w88 casino games login's face was already flushed in the strong wind and cold. Ling Yun touched her and motioned her to look up. There was actually a swallow-shaped kite flying in the sky, swaying from the side of the Seventeen-hole Bridge. w88 casino games login stared blankly at the ice surface of Kunming Lake still covered with residual snow and said: "Ayun, let's go directly across the lake."

The wind was getting tighter on the open ice. Ling Yun only wore a thick woolen hat on his head, and his mouth and nose were red from the cold. From time to time, the two of them would stop on the ice with their backs to the wind for a moment, then turn around and walk forward on the dark ice when the wind weakened a bit. When Ling Yun reached the middle of the lake, he suddenly saw w88 casino games login frozen in place. She stood there loosening her scarf, breathing heavily, but with a faint smile on her face, which melted into the redness on her face, showing a touching brightness in the ice and snow like a place of exile.

The raging wind has almost swallowed her up, and every pore is bulging. She could no longer feel her hands and toes. However, she was almost eager to receive this pure and natural violence with her warm chest, absorbing huge strength from the pain of the strong collision, allowing her to transcend the burden of her body and receive the baptism of her spirit in joy. She felt that the air she breathed out was like feathers, carrying the scent of her soul. For a moment, she even thought of the Virgin Mary bathing in radiance...

When I opened my eyes again, my hands and feet still felt numb. For a moment, w88 casino games login suspected that he was no longer alive. But the all-white sheets and bedding quickly recalled her sober consciousness. She struggled and fell down, but something on her body fell to the ground with a soft sound. When she leaned over and took a look, it was a very beautiful black and white swallow kite.

Footsteps sounded at the door, and Ling Yun walked in holding a peeled apple. Seeing that she was awake, he smiled and said, "Ayu, you slept soundly, but I spent a lot of effort to feed her. When he walked to the bed, he bent down and picked up the kite. He held it in one hand and looked at it, then turned to her and said proudly: "The string was broken and I picked it up in the garden. Wow, how beautiful it is!"

w88 casino games login took the apple and said with wet eyes, "Well, it's very, very beautiful..."

"Ayun." "Huh?"

"Let's go play together when the weather gets nicer"
