Like Haruki Murakami , my usual exercise method is also running, but he is a writer, and I am just a writer. After getting up early every morning, Haruki Murakami makes a pot of coffee, pours it into a large mug, then sits down at the desk, turns on the computer and starts writing. Write ten pages of manuscript paper every day, each page is 400 words. No more or less. I am different from him. I only write at night and sleep almost all day long, but physical exercise is essential. Without a good body, I cannot support writing day after day. When writing, I work hard.
At 7 o'clock in the evening, I went out on time, regardless of wind and rain. I was like an employee working on night shift, taking bus No. 19 at the entrance of the community and taking stop 7 to get off. I rented a small house in an old city area. The room was simply decorated, with a computer, a chair, a sofa, an coffee pot, and a pot of green ivy on the windowsill. Regardless of whether I had the urge to write or not, I sat in front of the computer before 8 o'clock and modified the last one I wrote for about half an hour. Next, I wrote what I wanted to write on that day. If I couldn’t write it out, I would stare at the computer screen and smoke one by one. Writing eleven pages a day is what I ask myself. Haruki Murakami can live without worries if he writes four thousand words, but I can't write four thousand words, I must work harder than him. I wrote until two o'clock in the morning and I lay on the sofa to rest. After sleeping until four o'clock, I got up to wash and then went out for a run. At this time, Haruki Murakami had just gotten up. Haruki Murakami ran 10 kilometers, and I ran 11 kilometers. This was not my intentional competition with him, because from the community east, along the river road, to the lake, it was exactly 11 kilometers. It was okay in summer, but when it arrived by the lake, it was almost dawn. It’s not good for winter, it’s still dark at 6 a.m. At the lake, I would stay for a while, smoke a cigarette, and then take the earliest bus home.
The big lake is an artificial lake, which is very large. A runway was built along the lake and willow trees were planted on both sides. Residents living near , big lake, , all come to the lake for morning exercises or run around the lake. Often, I arrived at the lake and smoked a cigarette, and saw the men and women walking towards this side when I was practicing in the morning. I also insist on running on rainy days unless it is raining heavily. That kind of drizzle will make people feel refreshed. Running in the drizzle, when I arrived at the lake, my hair was soaked. However, I still lit a cigarette and finished it slowly. When I saw that woman, I just lit the cigarette. It was not heavy that day, it was the kind of drizzle. I sat on the curb, about thirty meters away from the woman. She stood by the lake with her back to me. It is certain that she came to the Great Lakes before me. When Su Hong called, I only smoked half of the cigarette on my mouth. She rarely calls me, especially at this time, she knows that I am running. I answered the phone and she asked where I was and when would I go home? I said, by the lake. Su Hong said, it’s raining, are you still running? I said, it wasn't heavy. Then, I went to see the woman again. I don't know if I should tell Su Hong that I saw a woman. If that woman was just walking by the lake, I wouldn't tell Su Hong, but the woman stood by the lake, and there was the deep lake water below. As long as she took a step forward, the consequences would be unimaginable. I said, there was a woman standing by the lake. Su Hong said, a woman? I said, she wore an umbrella, had long hair, a black dress, and a pair of red high heels on her feet. However, the woman turned her back to me, not knowing what she looked like, but only seeing her figure was very good. Su Hong said, observe carefully, don’t see that you can’t pull it out of your eyes! I said, the woman turned her back to me and didn't turn around. Su Hong said that a romantic encounter occurred early in the morning. I said, where is this! Then I coughed, thinking that the woman would turn around when she heard my cough. However, the woman was still standing on the shore, like a clay sculpture and wood sculpture. Su Hong said, Zhang Xiaoke, what does this mean to me? I mustered up the courage and shouted, "Hey, Su Hong said, what are you doing?" I said, I felt something was wrong.
That woman didn't seem to hear my shout.I hesitated for a moment, took two steps towards the woman, and said again, it was raining.
Su Hong said, Zhang Xiaoke, is that he going to talk to me? Fuck you -
I said, don't swear, the problem is a bit serious.
Don’t come here! The woman finally said, her voice a little frightened, but she still didn't turn around. I had no choice but to stop, take out a cigarette from my pocket, lit one, and said, "What are you doing? It's raining, go home quickly." She said, don’t meddle in other people’s business, does it have anything to do with you whether I go home or not? I said, it doesn't matter, but it's raining and it's a little cold, you'll catch a cold. She said, I am not afraid of death, but I am afraid of catching a cold? Next year will be my death day. I said, what day is today? Do you know? She said, September 19th. I said, you can't jump into the lake, I often fish here. If you jump into the lake and drown, how can I fish in the future? She said, what does it have to do with me whether you fish or not? I said, it sounds familiar to you, even if you don't turn around, I know who you are. She said we didn't know each other at all. I said, do you know how to swim?
Su Hong said, who are you talking to?
I said, I will tell you later.
The woman said, I can swim.
I said, where can I learn how to swim?
The woman said, I learned to swim at the age of four.
I said, I can’t swim, if you jump into the lake, I won’t save you because I’m afraid I will drown.
The woman said that those who drowned were all people who could swim.
I said, I believe you said this, because people who can’t swim are afraid of being drowned, so they won’t go into the water.
The woman said, suddenly became impatient, why are you so long-winded? We don’t know each other!
I said, I know you now.
The woman said, don’t waste time, no one can change the things I decided.
I said, can you tell me why? I want to know.
The woman said, it was too late.
I took a sip of the cigarette and threw away the cigarette butt. I wonder what she meant when she said it was too late. Now I'm sure she's going to seek a frustration. I think I must stop her and dispel her idea of seeking death. I wondered what to say next. She took a step forward and could see a little hesitation when she took that step. I said, the lake is very deep, you have to think about it and your life is only once. She said, I have been thinking about it for a long time. I said, I don’t know how to swim, and if you jump down, no one can save you. She said, why do I need someone to save me? I can swim. I said, since you said that, I'm relieved. You jump, you can swim anyway, but you can't drown you. I lit another cigarette, and just took a sip, and when I went to see it again, the woman was gone. I didn't react for a moment, it was too sudden. But I wasn't worried about anything, because she said she learned to swim at the age of four.
I said, that woman dived.
Su Hong said, ah! You go into the water to save people, heroes save beauty!
I said, I'm hung up, I'll go see what's going on.
The woman dived, leaving only a pair of red high heels on the shore. What is her intention to leave her shoes on the shore? I don’t know. If she has no desire to live, she still cares about a pair of shoes. According to people who often fish by the lake, the lake is quite deep, and the deepest part is on the north shore, where the woman dives, about seven or eight meters deep. The woman was flapping in the water, slapped the water with her hands and stirred up clusters of water, not looking like she could swim. A person who learned to swim at the age of four should have better water quality than a fish, but she is not, her mouth open and she drinks several sips of water. The blue umbrella floated on the water. The woman grabbed the handle of the umbrella in panic, but to no avail, her body was still slowly sinking. She tried hard to stick her head out of the water, her mouth opened and closed. I heard her say that my legs were cramped and I couldn't move. I said, I told you, I can't swim. What should you do if you call me now? It’s raining and foggy, and there is no one around.At this time, people who practice morning have come to the lake in groups of three or three. The woman's heads fell together, her hair spread out, and her face was invisible. The hand that reached out to the water wanted to grab something, but didn't catch anything. I can't swim, so deep lake water, if I go into the water to save people, I will only save my life. I took a step back, stepped on a fishing rod, and hurriedly picked it up. However, when I was planning to save her with a fishing rod, the lake had returned to peace. The lake in the drizzle is filled with mist, so quiet that you can hear the thorns of the fish turning and splashing. That woman, she sank. The lake water is so deep, it would be strange if she doesn't drown. I glanced at the lake again, turned around and ran towards the way I came. I ran very fast, almost at a 100-meter sprint. That kind of fear and fear is like a criminal escaping from the scene of the crime. As I ran, I told myself that she was going to dance and it had nothing to do with me. She wants to die and jump into the lake to commit suicide. What can I do? I don’t know how to water. I go into the water to save people, and I will die. In order to save someone who wants to die, should I have to save my life? If I could water, I would definitely save her. I am not the kind of person who stands by and refuses to save him. It was at that time that I decided to learn to swim. Sitting on the bus back, it was still raining outside. This was the earliest bus, and there were not many people on the bus. I counted it and there were seven people in total, including the driver.
When I got home, Su Hong had bought breakfast. I sat down but had no appetite. Su Hong didn't ask me what happened to the woman who was diving. She definitely thought I was joking. I often joke with her about the characters in my novels, so she rarely takes what I say seriously. Lele was stuck in the bed and couldn't get up. Su Hong lifted his quilt and slapped it twice in the butt. Lele grinned and said, Dad, my mom hit me! I said, it's time to fight, get up and have a meal soon. Su Hong said, your son is getting lazy. I said, "You call me and you have something to do?" Su Hong said, "It's okay, I have a dream at night." I said, what dream? Su Hong said, I dreamed that you were beaten by someone, your teeth were all broken and your mouth was covered with blood. I said, how could I have such a dream? Su Hong said, who knows? He also said, "When you called, you said that you saw a woman fall into the water. Is it true?" I said, it might be an illusion, and I can't be sure if what I see is true. Su Hong said that he was divine all day long. I ignored me and was busy serving my son. My son went to learn piano later. The road was quite far, and he had to reverse the car and had to go out early. Su Hong never drives her son, she feels in a bad sense of direction and doesn't remember the road. I usually only drive the Passat I bought after getting married. Su Hong drove for the first time and left the gate of the community. After wandering around the city for a long time, she couldn't find the school. Finally, I had no choice but to find a designated driver before I sent her to school. After knowing that she was road blind, she never drove again. The guide was installed on the car, but she still couldn't do it. The shadow of getting lost for the first time driving could not be removed. If I don't drive, the car will be idle. Su Hong went out and took the bus only.
My son's piano has passed the ninth level. Su Hong thinks that his son is a genius in piano learning, but I see bored in my son's expression. I also think my son is very talented in this regard. If the teacher plays a song once, he will play it immediately. Teacher Qin attaches great importance to our son. Among the students he has taught, Lele is the best, no one can surpass him. Because it was the words of Teacher Qin who Su Hong reposted, I don’t know if it’s a bit exaggerated. From Su Hong's words, I learned that Teacher Qin is a very interesting man. He returned from studying abroad and held a personal concert and was once famous. Although he is nearly twenty years older than me, his words and demeanor are gentlemen.
After Su Hong and her son went out, I fell asleep. I slept very heavily and had a dream. It was noon when I woke up and Su Hong was not at home. She won't be back until the afternoon. I browsed the Internet for a while, browsed Weibo, and read today's headlines again, but I didn't see any news about anyone falling into the water. Has the woman who fell into the water not been discovered yet? Or she sinks to the bottom of the water and has not yet floated up.But, wasn't the pair of red high heels she left on the shore not seen by others? It is unknown whether the place where she fell into the water was a bit remote, and it is unknown if anyone else has never been there. Putting my phone down, I wanted to have another sleep, but closed my eyes, but I couldn't sleep.
When I told Su Hong that I had signed up for a swimming class and was about to learn swimming, she said that you would better find a serious thing to do and hope to write novels to support your family, and you will starve to death sooner or later. I said, this is not starving to death, aren’t we living well? Have a car, a house and a deposit. Su Hong said, are you going to learn swimming? I said that learning to swim is a skill. Su Hong said, you are becoming less and less serious. I said that writing novels does not conflict with learning to swim, and swimming can exercise your body. Writing is also a physical job. Su Hong ignored me anymore. If Lele wants to, I would like to sign him up and learn swimming together. Practicing the piano every day, even if you like it, you will get tired of it over time. My son should play football, swim, get close to nature, and do what he likes to do, rather than practice piano after school. However, Su Hong has always wanted to train her son to be a pianist. Even if she can't become a master like lister and Chopin , she must at least hold a special concert in the White House like lang . She really treats our son as a genius.
Su Hong has always opposed me writing novels, working in a bank, working from nine to five, why do I have to write novels? You will die if you don’t write novels! As a teacher, I was speechless when I said this from her. The royalties I earned were handed over to her, and her annual income was basically the same as the money I received in the bank. But in Su Hong's eyes, the money I gave her immediately depreciated as soon as it reached her hands. Does my origin in making money by writing novels is not right? Su Hong never reads novels I wrote. As a former literary lover, after she gave birth to our son Lele, she almost stopped reading. Reading is a waste of time for her, so I never tell her the novels I am writing, and the kind of novels I write will only make her look disdainful. When I quit my job at the bank and wrote novels at full time, our son was not born yet. At that time, Su Hong was ambiguous about my decision. She could freely control her time by writing. She wrote a " Dream of Red Mansions " without paying attention, which could be passed down through the ages. The teasing in her words made me feel uncomfortable, but at least she did not object to my writing novels. After our son was born, she began to complain and complain to me, not giving me a good look. I understand her that raising children is not an easy task. For this, I hired a nanny. But she was worried that she would give our son to a stranger. Wouldn't you worry? I said that you can install a surveillance camera at home and you can see our son on your phone at any time. She had to compromise, otherwise what could she do? She still had to work and couldn't bring her children to school.
Swimming pool is not far from the community where I live, less than twenty minutes' walk. I paid tuition for 300 yuan, and the other party said that I could teach and teach, but I would not be able to learn it for a full refund. The man who collected the money at the registration office told me to go directly to the swimming pool and find the coach named Li Ya. I thought Li Ya was a man, but after searching for a long time, I realized that she was a woman. Li Ya was in her thirties and used to be in the provincial sports team and engaged in diving. She started learning to swim at the age of four and won the diving gold medal in the Olympics. Later, when there was a problem with her waist, she retired and quit. I don't know if what she said is true or false. It is unbelievable that a person who has won the gold medal condescends to a small city. I thought of Fu Mingxia , Guo Jingjing , Chen Ruolin , but I don’t remember a diving champion named Li Ya. Maybe it's because I'm a little indifferent to my reaction. She said, if you don’t believe it, I can jump to you now. I said, I believe it. However, she took off her clothes, climbed onto the ten-meter jump platform, and jumped from above. When her body fell into the water, the splashes caused were very small and almost negligible. At that moment, I was stunned and believed what she said she had won the gold medal. She is like a mermaid in the water. She has to say that she has a very good figure. Among the women I have seen, no one has a figure that can match her.The swimsuit she was wearing exposed most of her body to me, but I was not imaginative and even moved. This is not the case in normal times. When I take the bus or walk on the street, I will always be moved by a woman's buttocks or thighs, which will make them more exciting and my heart will be excited. But, as I looked at her almost naked body, my heart was very calm. I told her that I was just to learn how to swim, and if I fell into the water one day, I would not be drowned. Then, I asked a very stupid question, if someone falls into the water, will you save it? She said, of course. I said, what if that person wants to commit suicide? She said that saving someone has nothing to do with whether the person being rescued wants to commit suicide or not. I said, if a person who doesn’t know how to water encounters this situation, should he go into the water to save people? She said you can not go into the water to save people, but you can take other measures, such as calling the police. I almost told her what happened that morning, and I wanted to tell her that I had encountered this. But what I said is, are you tired of your job? She was stunned and said, "I don't know anything else, I can only swim, so I like to teach people to swim."
Among Li Ya's students, I am the oldest, and the other students are almost eight or nine years old. After they greeted Li Ya, they jumped into the water one by one, and the swimming pool became lively in an instant. Those children are not beginners. They swim around in the water, backstroke , and butterfly swim , which makes me feel ashamed. I don't know if I can still learn to swim at my age. Li Ya explained to me the skills of swimming. Beginners must not be impatient, be patient, persevere, have close contact with water, and be integrated with water. Learning to swim is actually very simple. The key is to get the method. You must start with the basic skills. The most important basic skills are breathing. Many people have been swimming for more than ten years and think they are "swimming", but in fact they can't be considered able to swim - because his head is always on the water. When learning to swim, you must learn to breathe. As long as you have the ability to breathe, even if you only know " dog slim ", you can be considered "swimming". My legs were hung in the water, stirring up a cluster of water from time to time. She was still talking, explaining to me carefully and patiently. I decided to go into the water and try it. Over the years, I have only swam a few times in the river outside the village when I was young. The ditches were shallow, but a child had drowned, and we also knew each other. Since then, my parents have forbidden me to go into the water to swim. In fact, at that time we were just taking a bath in the ditch and fighting water battles. When I went down to the swimming pool, I thought I had understood the key points of swimming. According to what Li Ya taught me, I slapdated twice. Not only did my body not float on the water, but instead kept sinking. I paddled my hands around and took a sip of water. I am in shallow water, the water is not deep, and it is not even my neck. I slap a few more times, took another sip of water, and couldn't help but cough. My cough caused the laughter of the children, all of them looking at me, laughing and one child was making faces at me. Amid their laughter, I was in a mess and returned to the stage. Li Ya was also laughing. Maybe she saw that I was blushing, so she stopped her smile and comforted me, and didn't worry, and took her time. I had to mock myself, are you old and your hands and feet not flexible? Li Ya didn't ask me how old she was. She handed me a bottle of water, and I took it, took a drink and rinsed my mouth. The water in the swimming pool has a strange smell, which may be the smell of disinfectant.
This is my first day of learning to swim. After returning to the stage, I did not go into the water again. Li Ya asked me to take my time, so I can put on the swimming ring and exercise first. I sat by the pool and watched the children swimming. They were flexible and swam around happily in the water. When I left, Li Ya was jumping on the ten-meter platform to demonstrate to a girl, and the girl seemed very scared and could see her legs trembling. Li Ya once again jumped from the jumping platform. The process of his body falling into the water was so beautiful, and the splashes of water splashed after entering the water were very small. She poked her head out of the water and waved to the girl on the jumping platform. However, the girl retreated and she squatted down, probably crying. She shouted loudly, jumped down, it was okay.Jump down bravely! The other children also shouted and jumped down! Jump down! Jump down! The girl on the jumping platform always squatted on it and didn't jump no matter what. I left the swimming pool, wondering if the girl jumped down from the jumping platform later. That jump platform is too high, and I will be afraid if I change it.
came out of the swimming pool and I didn't go home because it was getting late and I had to go to work. Yesterday I only wrote two hundred words, which I have never had before. The novel was stuck there and I couldn't continue to write it. I don't know if a miracle can happen today, so I can write it smoothly. When I arrived at that community, I went to the supermarket to buy a bag of bread and two packs of cigarettes. After entering the house, I made a pot of coffee, ate a bread, and lit a cigarette. But my mind was empty and there was no urge to write. Ever since I saw that woman jumping into the lake, I couldn’t concentrate on writing. As long as I sit in front of the computer, I will play that picture repeatedly in my mind, and it will be lingering and it is quite tormenting. If this continues, I feel like I will collapse. I couldn't write it out, so I lay on the sofa and looked through the book "The Wife of the Neighbor" I just bought. The book is too thick and heavy in your hand. I stared at the words on the pages and got distracted for a while. My mind is messy and I can't read. I lit a cigarette and then sat in front of the computer. But my mind is still empty. It's quite tormenting if you can't write it out. I simply stopped racking my brains and lying on the sofa to sleep.
I have never stopped running, it has been my habit for many years, and I have not stopped even the morning of the second day when that woman jumped into the lake. But, where the woman fell into the water, I didn't see the red high heels. Sitting down by the lake, I lit a cigarette. The lake was quiet and as if nothing had happened. That woman, was she still sinking at the bottom of the lake and not floating up? That morning, I saw that woman jumping into the lake with my own eyes. We had a brief conversation, and I also told Su Hong. Could it be that morning that I saw it just an illusion? I remember it was drizzling and the lake was filled with mist. It can't be an illusion! I picked up a stone and threw it into the lake. The moment the stone fell into the water, it stirred up a small splash of water and returned to peace.
left the lake, and I waited for the bus at the stop sign. The driver who drives is a raw face, and I know all four drivers running this line. I had nothing to say and chatted with him. I didn't expect that he could speak well. He told me that Xiao Chen was divorced and was seeking death. The company asked her to rest at home for a while. I said, Xiao Chen? Is it the woman with short hair and a little introverted? He said, yes! His man found a good friend, but she couldn't think of it, and the two of them quarreled every day. The drivers who drive this car are very familiar with me. They all know that I like morning jogging and often complain to me that my salary is low and that I have to deduct money at any time. It was only that Xiao Chen, I greeted her, she just smiled and didn’t communicate too much. I said, a woman jumped into the lake yesterday, and I heard that this was not the case? The driver said that people often jumped into the lake, and there were one or two every year. Those men and women who have broken hearts and terminally ill patients all come here to end their lives. One year, a sixteen-year-old girl jumped into the lake because her parents said a few words. Fortunately, someone was fishing by the lake, otherwise he would have been drowned. I said, I heard that a woman jumped into the lake yesterday. Before jumping into the lake, she took off her shoes and left them on the shore. The driver said, is this happening? Why haven't I heard of it? I said, I heard about it, too.
That was the eighth day when I saw that woman fall into the water and the sixth day when I learned to swim. I ran to the lake and when I was about to leave, I saw a woman. The first thing that caught my attention was the high heels on the woman's feet, so you don't have to keep it aside, because you've guessed it. That's right, I saw those red high heels again. I walked towards the woman and she found me at the same time. That morning, there was no one by the lake except her and me. The woman also had long hair, but the skirt on her body was not black. Looking at her back, she has a very good figure. For a moment, I suspected that she was the woman who fell into the water that morning. Didn't she die, because she said she learned to swim when she was four years old.How could a person who was familiar with water at the age of four be drowned? She jumped into the lake, struggled and sank, missing, perhaps just an illusion. Sometimes, what you see is not necessarily true. The woman, after she found me, began to walk south quickly along the runway of the lake. I followed her and also accelerated my pace. When I was ten meters away from her, she suddenly ran, her body shaking, and the high heels on her feet made a crisp clatter. I quickly passed her and stopped in front of her, blocking her way. She looked at me, her pretty face full of horror. I said, I have no other meaning, don't be afraid.
She said, don’t come over, you can take a step forward, I’m going to call someone.
I said, I can't go over, I just want to ask if the shoes on your feet are yours?
She said, of course it's mine.
I said, have you been here that morning eight days ago? Are you wearing these red high heels?
She said, you are crazy! Does it have anything to do with you whether I wear high heels or not?
I said, I just want to know if the woman I saw that morning eight days ago was you.
She said, don’t bother me anymore, I still have something to do.
I said, that morning eight days ago, I saw a woman by the lake. She also had long hair, wearing a pair of red high heels, and holding an umbrella because it was raining that day. Later, she jumped into the lake. I wanted to save her, but I couldn't swim, so I could only watch her sink into the lake...
She said, the woman you saw was not me!
I said, of course it was not you, because that woman drowned in the lake.
She said, can I leave now? My house is nearby, and I have to go home to make breakfast for my children.
I said, sorry, you go.
Do you know how to swim? I said. Looking at her back as she walked away, I thought she would turn around.
I will! She said, but she didn't stop.
I walked back and came to the station sign to get off the bus. Bus No. 21 did not come, and I didn’t even see a shadow. I lit a cigarette and looked at the lake. At this time, people who practice morning came to the lake one after another. The woman said her house was nearby, but I didn't see any buildings near the lake. There is a community five miles away from the Great Lake. Because of the good environment, housing prices keep rising. Before I finished smoking, the bus arrived. I got in the car and it was Xiao Chen who drove. I greeted her and she just smiled. There were not many people in the car, there were about seven or eight people. I walked back and sat down and found it raining outside. The rain is not heavy, it is the kind of drizzle. Looking at the rain outside, I felt that time was messed up.
Half an hour later, I got home. Su Hong is not here, she has arrived at school at this time. After dinner, I wanted to lie down and have a sleep. Bookshop Lao Liu called and asked if the novel I was writing had finished. I said that I have written more than 100,000 words, and I have to write another 70,000 to 80,000 words before I finish the manuscript. He said that the previous book was not selling well and the market response was a bit cold. This was within my expectations, so Lao Liu said so, and I didn't think there was anything abnormal. Lao Liu suggested that I add some science fiction when writing, or write " Three-Body " like Liu Cixin , and he believed that I had that ability. I have never written a science fiction novel, and I don’t know if I have the ability. The novels I write are all related to murder, and of course they also incorporate elements of mystery novels. This is related to reading Higashino Keigo novels in the past.
hung up the phone, but I was completely sleepy. I couldn't sleep, so I went to the swimming pool. At this time, there are not many people in the swimming pool, and only eight or nine people are soaking in the swimming pool. This is the seventh day I have learned to swim, and I have not made any progress. Leaving the swimming ring that is stuck on my body, my body will sink, and I once wanted to give up.Others who learn to swim can swim around in the water in three or four days, but I have never been able to do it. If Li Ya hadn't encouraged me, I would definitely not have learned it again. When Li Ya came, I was in the water. After seeing her, I wiped the water from my face and waved to her. Li Ya said, come up. I said, is there something wrong? Li Ya said, come up and talk about it. I swam towards her. Before she could change her swimsuit, she wore a short black skirt, the tight one, wrapping her hips. This is the first time I have seen her not wearing a swimsuit. Her dressing today made me distracted and I felt my lower body react strongly. I stayed in the water, embarrassed to go up, and she said, come up! I said, you tell me, I like to stay in the water. I turned around and looked around. I didn’t know when the people who were soaking in the water just now left. Now I am the only one left in the entire swimming pool. She looked at me, waiting for me to go up, and her tone became impatient. I said I asked you to come up, what's going on with you? I had no choice but to grab the escalator and climb it slowly. I don't know if she noticed my lower body, but I just felt that my face was very hot and must be very red.
Li Ya wants to refund me. Among the students she taught, I am the only one who has not learned to swim. In fact, she has done her best, but the reason is not her, but me, which makes me feel embarrassed. I can't even do such a simple thing.
that money is fine. I said. Smeared the water from his face.
Li Ya said, I agreed to give you a lesson, but you didn’t learn it, so of course you have to refund the money. I said, it’s not your business, it’s all my reasons. Li Ya insisted on returning the money, so I had to accept it. I learned to swim for seven days and had a waste of time. In my opinion, the easiest way to exercise is running. You don’t need to learn this. As long as you like it, you can exercise any time. You can run outdoors, and you can buy a treadmill to run indoors. If you run outdoors, you don’t need to invest, just have a pair of running shoes. Of course, I wouldn't say this to Li Ya. I found a compromise solution, and when I said I would treat her to a meal, she did not refuse. I didn't learn to swim, but she gave it, explained it to me and demonstrated it, almost teaching me step by step. But as soon as I leave the swimming ring that is stuck on my body, I sink and I always drink a few sips of water. After leaving the swimming pool, she received a call. After calling, she said something urgent was not allowed to go. I said, what about that night? Is it OK tonight? She said, let's go, I'll treat you in the future.
After breaking up with Li Ya at the gate of the swimming pool, Su Hong called me and said she would not eat at home in the evening and told me not to wait for her, she and her son would eat outside. It was a bit early for dinner at this time, and it was less than five o'clock, so I didn't go home, but went to the mall. I run every day and my shoes break fast, so I want to buy a pair of running shoes. I bought shoes, came out of the mall, and accidentally looked at the hotel I had seen. Through the floor-to-ceiling window, I not only saw Su Hong and her son, but also Teacher Qin. They talked and laughed, looking happy, like a happy family of three. I lit a cigarette to calm my mood. At that moment, I felt like a voyeur. In order to prevent them from being discovered, I quickly left and was almost running.
Later, I went to the swimming pool and didn't see Li Ya, but saw a man sitting by the swimming pool smoking. He is the new coach, and asked him if Li Ya is here? He said he quit his job. I said, do you know where she went? He said, don't know. When I called Li Ya's phone, I told me it was an empty number. Later, after calling a few more times, I deleted her phone number. According to the male coach in the swimming pool, Li Ya was not doing well. The man had a paraplegia in his lower limbs, but his temper was not small. The two were quite loving before marriage, but later the man had a car accident and his temperament changed drastically since then. The male coach was very addicted to smoking and always held a cigarette in his mouth. He asked me if I still want to learn swimming? If I wanted to learn, he would definitely teach me. I shook my head.
The way I exercise is to run. Although my step-by-step life is monotonous and boring, it can only be done.What I want to say is that when I ran to the lake, I never saw any women, let alone anyone jumped into the lake. I saw a man sitting by the lake smoking. It was already summer at that time. When I ran to the lake, I was sweating all over. When I took out the cigarette, I realized that I didn’t bring a lighter. I walked towards the man, trying to borrow a fire. When I approached, I found that the ashes on the ground were not ordinary ashes, but ashes left after the burning of yellow paper. He gave me the lighter, and after I lit a cigarette, he took out a photo and asked me to see it. The woman in the photo is very young, with a familiar face, but I can't remember where I saw her. She feels a bit like Li Ya, and a bit like the woman I've seen that morning, but I can't be sure that the person in the photo is one of them. I just think it's a bit like that. I said, your wife? He nodded. I said, what's going on? He said she jumped into the lake here. I said, when did it happen? He said, many years ago. I said, why? He pondered for a long time before he said that women were just like that, with a small mind. Do you get me? I said, I understand.
After smoking a cigarette, I took out two more, one for him and one for me to smoke. When I lit a cigarette for him, he said, "Can you swim?" I shook my head and said I had signed up for a class and studied for a while, but I didn't learn it. He said, it was actually very simple. I said, but I didn't learn it. He said, I can teach you. I said, in this big lake? He said, yes! Come with me. I sat and didn't move. He said, are you scared? I said no. He said, believe me, nothing will happen. I followed him and walked towards the lake. When he walked to the lake, he stopped and said that he would not be deep in learning here. I will teach you, you will learn it within three minutes. I shook my head and said that I had learned it. The one I taught me was still a diving athlete who won the Olympic gold medal, but I didn't learn it. He said, there is no need to learn, really! Seeing that I didn’t believe me, he said, “Don’t you believe me? I said, I believe in you, but I don’t want to learn to swim. As soon as I finished speaking, he suddenly pushed me, my body staggered, lost the center of gravity, and the person fell into the water. This was too sudden, I was unprepared. After falling into the water, I took a sip of water, and was in the instinct of survival, and I kept fluttering in the water. At that moment, I remembered what Li Ya said, and according to what she taught me, I actually swam to the shore. I shook my head and splashed, but I didn't go back to the shore. The lake is empty and cannot be seen by anyone. I think that man must have not walked far away. Maybe he was nearby, hiding behind a tree, peeping at me. I turned around and swam deep into the lake, then dived, and as I dived into the bottom of the lake, I opened my eyes. The sun shines through the lake, real and illusory. I see the fish swimming around, the soft water grass silently. How quiet! I want to stay at the bottom of the lake for a while.
