Chapter Seventy-Three: The Aegean Sea of Handsome Left Pillar
Lao Wu Zuo Zhu is a handsome guy and a very Northeastern pure man. At the same time, he is also the most romantic of the five brothers.
When he first entered university, Zuo Zhu had already created a stir with a female dormitory confession incident. It's said that this guy, in order to pursue true love at university, had studied guitar for five years, didn't join any music groups or participate in any talent shows, and just stayed home every day practicing intensively; all so that one day under the romantic moonlight he could play a serenade for his beloved university classmate and unfold a campus romance even more romantic than Titanic.
That time, Old Five played "Do You Know I'm Waiting for You" under the window of his crush, 'Coffee Plus Milk Tea ~ Sister', for three whole nights. As a result, the goddess did not appear, but instead attracted the attention of the female dormitory's gatekeeper aunt, who struck Old Five with a single sentence: "Little classmate, stop playing. The row of windows you're aiming at belongs to the art department's girls. With your two skills, you still dare to show off? Last time, a British exchange student played here for one night and ended up getting a basin of cold water..."
After that, Lao Wu never mentioned love again, and even put away his beloved guitar, refusing to show it to anyone easily.
However, the handsome guy still retains his most romantic dreams, only better at packaging himself with the image of a high-quality literati; what can prove this point is that once Zhu Xiaohua asked him: "Old Five, you are such a romantic person, how come you came to study medicine? You should have gone to the College of Liberal Arts! There are many sisters with temperament there!"
The Book of Changes also says: "It's either or, the literary academy is not Li Qingzhao or Cai Wenji. If you can get one, you can resonate with each other in literature and music, and when the time comes, you'll be envied by many people for your romantic life."
In those carefree years, the topics of conversation among us brothers were either women or girls. Even when we joked around, it was always centered around these two eternal themes, and Zhou Yi was no exception.
Every time he encounters such questions, Xiao Shuai always chuckles and says in a tone of "the world is drunk and I am sober": "The nobles on the streets of Chang'an, how many times have they beckoned with red sleeves from the tower? If you are born with a wise bone, why would you fall into an ordinary family..."
So the brothers were staring at each other, and they all regretted it; this is because every time the pure guys sighed like this, they would definitely skip class the next day; originally skipping class was nothing, life without skipping class, youth is still youth? But once the pure guys skipped class, they wouldn't even go to the cafeteria, they had to run back and forth to bring food for them; bringing food for them wasn't a big deal, but this guy didn't even give them a meal ticket...
After that, none of us dared to tease the handsome guy easily, because the price was four喜丸子red braised pork and half a catty of rice.
Eating white rice and red meat, the handsome guy Zuo Zhu finally opened up his heart to dispel the doubts of several brothers: "My ideal is the Aegean Sea... the cradle of fairy tales, the birthplace of romance, the hometown of mermaid princesses. How can you rough guys understand?"
The brothers suddenly realized. It makes sense, I heard that Old Five's father was a sailor, this longing for the sea must have been brought out since he was born. He is preparing to study medicine and then become a ship doctor?
It's great, really great! This is much more comfortable than being a sailor. On the ship, it's also a superior position. If there are female sailors, as a doctor, you can give them close attention due to professional needs... Think about it, on the Titanic of the 21st century, on the Aegean Sea, under the bright sunshine, doing a detailed full-body check for a sailor sister wearing a sailor suit, and then she'll smile at you with three dimples. This is what they call a sea wolf...
Thinking back to this point, Zhou Yi suddenly had an epiphany: "Xiao Hua, it can't be..."
"Don't worry, even if Lao Wu wants a Titanic romance, he'll need a Rose on that broken ship of his!"
Zhu Xiaohua smiled slyly: "It's Lao Wu's little darling, our younger sister has some kind of psychological problem. That's why Lao Wu took a long leave, saying he wanted to accompany his wife for therapy... if it wasn't for this, I reckon we wouldn't have been able to get in touch with him..."
Zuo Zhu is a ship's doctor on a luxury cruise, which isn't for delivering mail, but rather for taking wealthy people around the world in search of romance. Once at sea, it's either the Atlantic or Pacific Ocean, so it's extremely difficult to get in touch with him. Zhou Yi has tried calling him several times, but he can't be reached.
It was also because of this experience that Zhou Yi didn't get anxious when he couldn't contact Liu Xu for a while. He even recharged her phone bill, but it was the same, probably because Liu Xu was also in a mountainous area with poor signal; He asked Zhang Zhuo to inquire about Liu Xu's information, actually just wanting to know where she and Ye Zi were, so he didn't have to guess himself.
"What kind of mental illness?" Zhu Xiaohua basically muddled through university, claiming to be a medical graduate, but in fact could barely distinguish between heat stroke and colds, so Zhou Yi had to ask further.
"It's said to be some kind of social phobia, normally staying at home is fine, but once in a public setting it gets out of control......" Zhu Xiaohua recalled after thinking for half a day.
“socialphobia？”
"Alright, I get it; let's hang up for now, I need to make a call to Old Five."
After connecting the phone with Lao Wu, Zhou Yi said: "Lao Wu, you immediately bring your brother and sister to my place. Your brother's illness is not something that can be solved by just taking a break or traveling around, I can cure his illness, at most two months, and return a healthy and lively wife to you; at that time, it won't be a problem even if she goes to the TV station for a talent show."
"Lao San, I believe you. Xiao Hua said you've become a rustic farmer in the countryside, not obeying the emperor's decree, idly watching the quiet clouds rise. I was just planning to head to your place as my first stop."
Handsome guy is a man of elegant and refined language, at this time, still holding on to his writing brush...
After finishing the phone call, Zhou Yi didn't leave the villa until 12 o'clock. He stood in front of the newly planted two mu of purple bamboo and started practicing his standing meditation. The requirements for standing meditation are not high, it doesn't require torturing one's muscles and bones like some internal martial arts do, nor does it need complicated visualization. However, it does have a higher requirement for the environment, at least it needs to be in contact with the earth. Zhou Yi spent a lot of money buying these two mu of purple bamboo from the south, also because he heard that this thing has spirituality, even Guanyin Bodhisattva of Putuo Mountain in Nanhui likes it, so he followed suit and did something elegant for once.
Nor did he know whether it was due to the system upgrade or if the Zi Zhu Lin was indeed effective, but Zhou Yi had just stood still for a short while when he felt a surge of heat emanating from his limbs and meridians, which was much stronger than before. After circulating throughout his body for a week, it actually all converged into his Dantian.
It's Mid-Autumn Festival now, and my parents are still lingering in France with my second sister, leaving me, Zhou Yi, a poor child, all alone here. Every time there's a festive occasion, I miss my family even more. Now, my heart is desolate and my body feels cold. I want to find my family but feel too lazy to move. Suddenly, the internal energy returns to my dantian, and it's incredibly warm, just like being in a fragrant brocade quilt with a fiery passion. It makes me so comfortable that I close my eyes and end up standing there, half asleep...
In a daze, Zhou Yi entered an inexplicable state, feeling warmth all over his body, like being caressed by spring breeze. His senses became sharper than usual, and although he couldn't hear the slightest sounds of ants gathering or insects chirping from ten miles away as described in YY, he did hear the faint echoes brought by the gentle wind passing by his ears and the soft rustling of bamboo leaves.
At this moment, Zhou Yi felt that he was closer to nature and the most essential things in this world, and it made him love the mountains and rivers even more.
Humans and nature should have been interacting and coexisting in this way from the very beginning...
PS: Thanks for the reward from 'Ye Yue Qiang' and 'Lost Bird', new and old friends, thank you all...
