Ant Paradise

"Shile, Shile." He called him twice, and stretched out a hand from between the steel bars to touch his head, "Did you eat well these two days?" Obviously seeing that he had a lot to say, But facing Jiale, he could only nod, "Then, did you have a good meal?" "Yes, my mother made a lion's head yesterday, I guess she's not so angry anymore."

Shi Le nodded again, and Jia Le looked at him carefully, stretched out his finger and pointed at the dimple that was not exposed on his side, "Why are you unhappy, who bullied you? Or, what are you thinking?" He rarely did these kinds of intimacy before. As he moved, Shi Le opened his round eyes and covered the side of his cheek that he tapped, and mustered up his courage to say, "I miss you very much."

Jiale simply stretched out both hands, holding his face and doing nothing but rubbing it back and forth.He was happy, and his fingers seemed to be sticking to Shile's face, "Look, I used to go to your house to see you, but now you are the one who came to see me." It turned out to be like this, and he thought of those paintings that Shile drew, He was also reluctant, but he still couldn't move, suffering in anticipation every day, not knowing when he would come next time.

His mother suddenly called his name and wanted to open the door to come in. Shi Le was afraid that Mrs. Huang would see him and hurried to leave, but before Jia Le could tell him that he missed him very much, he was so anxious that he reached out to grab him regardless. , but his arms got stuck in the two railings, and he yelled, Shi Le couldn't get away, "What's wrong?"

Mrs. Huang also came in. Seeing this scene, she didn't know whether to be angry or to laugh. Jiale stuck one hand outside, and smirked and called out, "Shile is here." Shile was outside, bowing his head to say hello, "Hello, Auntie." After he finished speaking, he didn't dare to look at Mrs. Huang's face, and just stood with his head bowed. When Jiale cried out in pain, he hurriedly held his half arm outside.

Mrs. Huang couldn't help laughing, and Jiale yelled bitterly, "Mom, my hands are stuck, so I can't let Shile keep holding them." "Tell you to stretch your hands out," he said Wan Jiale said kindly to Shile, "When did you come here? Why didn't you come in if you want to find him? It's so cold." "I shouldn't have come. Auntie told him to shut up and think about his mistakes. I shouldn't bother." "Shut up and think about mistakes." , It’s not a closed-door practice, and you still have visitation rights when you’re in jail.” Jiale said with a smile at him.

"How dare you say that! Shile, come in first." "But his hand is back." Shile was still not at ease, and kept holding on.Mrs. Huang held Jiale's arm inside, "Turn your arm left and right, and then retract it in." After a few moves, it was finally retracted.The family had lunch in Shile, because it was Saturday that Mr. Huang was also resting at home.

They didn't ask much about other things, they just cared about Shile's life. Every time they asked a question, Shile put down his chopsticks and answered seriously, "I basically cook by myself, although they are all side dishes." Spicy crab, I don’t think that’s an ordinary side dish.” Jiale added oil and vinegar on one side, while Shile honestly dismantled the situation on the other side, “No, it’s very simple, I cook it according to the recipe.”

"What's the matter with you, Huang Jiale. I can see that you don't work." Jiale said resentfully. "No, he still buys groceries when he's free, and we take turns doing housework." He spared no effort when boasting.After eating, Shi Le asked for help when he cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks. Mrs. Huang remembered seeing him washing dishes with rubber gloves on. She said to Jia Le who was still eating, "You let me see what you do. Housework."

As soon as he heard that, he immediately got up and put down the half-sucked crab legs, "Yes, I'll do it now." He took the bowl from Shile's hand and smiled at him, "Go and sit, don't worry about this " Shi Le was quite reserved in front of the couple, and didn't know what to say. Jia Le's father didn't talk much, but always smiled. Jia Le looked a lot like him, but his personality was more like his mother. "He's outside , Really do housework, don't lie to me." Shi Le nodded vigorously, "We clean twice a week, we take turns cleaning, and sometimes moving things are all done by him. I didn't have time to cook, so he did it too. "He cooks?" Mrs. Huang laughed, "What will he do?" "Well, it's scrambled eggs with tomatoes, scrambled eggs with leeks, scrambled eggs with green onions, and many more." He can only make scrambled eggs." Mrs. Huang glanced at Jiale who was washing the dishes and said with a smile, "When you cook in the future, tell him to stand and watch."

After Shile only heard one, he suddenly realized that Mrs. Huang said to Jiale who was still in the kitchen, "After you wash the dishes, go back and study hard for me." Jiale hurried out, the foam in his hand was unbelievable He asked eagerly, "What, didn't you tell me to shut myself up and think about my mistakes?" "I only asked you for a week off." Mrs. Huang warned him sternly, "You are responsible for all the choices you make, and I won't care about them." , but what happens in the future, I will not bear it."

Hearing such a heartless sentence, Jiale understood that his mother was unwilling to give up, and parenting did not include a kind of abandonment. "I must come back often." As soon as he was about to sit down, his mother scolded him, "I haven't washed my hands yet."

When I came here alone, when I went back, there was Jiale Xuxu talking about the past two days. When I got home and had dinner, Jiale kept pulling him to watch TV. I didn’t sleep until midnight. Seeing the bees and ants, Shi Le was dizzy and was about to fall heavily. Jia Le suddenly hugged him and whispered in his ear, "It's here, it's twelve o'clock."

When Shi Le was hugged by him, he was so startled that he lost all sleep. It took him a long time before he hugged him stiffly, and wanted to ask him what happened. He heard Jia Le say, "Celebrate our first day together." I was afraid of missing this point on Shile's birthday, what's the point, and I'm afraid Shile will laugh at him if I tell him.

Shi Le looked at him with a silly smile, Jia Le rubbed his face, pressed his forehead against his forehead, kissed his right cheek lightly, and asked him in a low voice, "Shi Le, do you still want to be an ant?" Is it?" He shook his head, and he didn't think of this dream for a long time.

He doesn't want to be an ant anymore, he still wants to walk upright in this world, be a person who can feel pain and pleasure, and hold hands with the person in front of him till the end.
