Ning You typically mirrored on his training, as a result of he realized early on that there was an enormous disparity between the setting he was in and the academic philosophy he had discovered.

For instance, he by accident stepped on an worker’s foot within the firm elevator, earlier than he might say a humble “I’m sorry”, the opposite celebration had already bowed and apologized. As if he shouldn’t have put his foot below Ning You’s toes. 

Thinkers advocated equality for all, however Ning You is used to seeing an excessive amount of inequality – in fact, he’s the one who enjoys preferential remedy – and folks take it with no consideration.

Everybody acquiesces to the existence of social lessons and is accustomed to classifying folks into numerous lessons via occupation and revenue.

Ning You’s dad and mom taught him to not suppose extremely of himself, however simply as most philosophers are giants in thought and dwarfs in motion. Ning You does mirror on himself, besides that he’ll nonetheless get pleasure from preferential remedy as he deserves.

He knew that possibly Li Mu would suppose he was ineffective, however in actuality his occupation was a semiconductor researcher and his place was the chief engineer of Ning Household’s Division of Know-how. 

In fashionable society, nobody will probably be impolite to him, however when he was on this unusual and primitive setting. After he was stripped away of all of the titles and standing, he actually noticed issues for what they had been – he’s simply an atypical man and nobody will suppose extremely of him.

Due to this, when he realized that he was judging Li Mu’s occupation, a sort of disgrace unfold quietly all through his physique. As a result of whether or not Li Mu is a lumberjack or a forest ranger, it isn’t his flip to seek out fault in minor particulars.

The tense environment all the time makes folks suppose nonsense.

The forest fireplace and Li Mu’s departure threw Ning You right into a state of tension. He needed to shake off every kind of ideas in his thoughts and power himself to focus on the duty at hand – washing the dishes.

Put the dishes collectively, and put them within the kitchen sink. Ning You was nearly to activate the recent water when the small stones blown by the wind slapped on the glass window, interrupting the motion of Ning You’s arms.

He seemed in the direction of the window and located that the wind was howling exterior, which was a totally totally different scene from earlier when he was having a shower.

The tops of the birch bushes had been blown to 1 aspect, and the cattle exterior the cabin stepped left and proper on occasion. Though all is effectively contained in the cabin, the state of affairs exterior the window disturbs Ning You uneasiness.

There gave the impression to be a shadow transferring exterior the wood fence, Ning You seemed intently to the window for some time. His coronary heart instantly frightened and he took an enormous step again. 

–A surprisingly enormous brown bear was prowling exterior the fence.

Ning You has solely seen unrestrained wild animals when he was touring in Africa. Though he has lengthy heard that this forest is just not very protected at night time, he actually didn’t anticipate to really feel the hazard so intuitively.

The brown bear lifted its entrance paws and leaned over on the wood fence. Ning You’s coronary heart went into his throat.

However he nonetheless didn’t dare to chill out, and all the time noticed the state of affairs exterior the cabin via the window.

An hour has handed, two hours have handed…… 

Ning You had by no means seemed ahead to somebody’s look a lot.

Instantly, the sound of horses’ hooves got here from far-off within the forest, and shortly after, Li Mu’s determine appeared exterior the wood fence.

Ning You couldn’t describe his feelings at this second, he eagerly opened the wood door and shouted, “Li Mu!”

Li Mu’s khaki-colored Martin boots turned coal-black, and he himself appeared to roll round within the coal heap, with charred marks throughout his physique. 

“Is the state of affairs critical?” Ning You requested when Li Mu entered the cabin.

“Fortunately, no firefighters had been injured.” Li Mu took off his jacket, went to the kitchen to get a bottle of water. Unscrewed the bottle cap and drank the entire bottle with out pause.

Listening to that the hearth was not critical, Ning You lastly breathed a sigh of aid, however he instantly considered a query that made him marvel, “How might a fireplace begin within the forest at the moment of the yr?”

It’s not midsummer now, and it’s an evening with out daylight. This fireplace got here actually unusual. 

“It ought to be man-made arson, nonetheless investigating, and it might be a poacher.” Li Mu mentioned and threw the empty bottle into the trash can.

Ning You as soon as once more realized that this place is solely two worlds with the (social) circle he lives in. He was about to talk about the brown bear, and because of this, he seemed up and located that Li Mu was trying on the soiled bowl within the sink with…… an advanced expression.

“It’s not.” Ning You knew Li Mu misunderstood him and hurriedly defined, “There was a bear exterior simply now, I didn’t dare to activate the water heater.”

“Is it?” Li Mu didn’t suspect a lot, “Most likely scared by the hearth, often it doesn’t come to my place.” 

Ning You was dumbfounded: “You recognize that bear?”

Li Mu mentioned, “Kind of.”

Considering again to the thrilling scene only a second in the past, Ning You discovered it arduous to consider that Li Mu’s angle in the direction of the beast was so bland. Wouldn’t he be afraid?

The sound of snapping fingers subsequent to his ear interrupted Ning You’s ideas, Li Mu pointed to the sink and mentioned succinctly, “Bowl.” 

Ning You washed the dishes solely a handful of occasions, however fortunately there have been solely two plates, two glasses, and two units of chopsticks within the sink, and the remaining had already been cleaned up when Li Mu made the meal.

After wiping the water stains on the tableware one after the other, Ning You washed his arms with cleaning soap once more as a result of he didn’t just like the odor of dishwashing liquid on his arms.

He had beforehand rejected utilizing Li Mu’s cleaning soap as a result of he didn’t need his physique to be contaminated with different folks’s scents, however he needed to admit that the scent was actually nice.

Ning You sniffed his fingertips and unconsciously seemed out the kitchen window, solely to by accident see…… Li Mu having a shower exterior. 

The bathe platform is just not straight going through the kitchen window, however it’s not utterly invisible. Ning You, doings of ghosts and gods, adjusted the angle, and noticed Li Mu’s again motionlessly.

From prime to backside is the usual inverted triangle, with the broad latissimus dorsi muscle tightening inward on the waistline, after which downward……

Ning You swallowed unconsciously, Li Mu’s waist-hip curve was a typical damned gong waist, and it felt very highly effective simply by it.

At this second, Li Mu instantly turned to his aspect, Ning You solely glanced on the distinct ravine stomach muscle tissues, after which he met Li Mu’s eyes unprepared. 

He was clearly being peeked at, however Li Mu didn’t reply, and squinted at Ning You evenly, with an expression that appeared to say: Have you ever seen sufficient?

Ning You leap from fright, and shortly took just a few steps again. He reacted with hindsight, what occurred simply now? Was he caught peeking at somebody having a shower?

May he simply disappear instantly from the earth??

The sound of the door opening quickly sounded, Ning You barely raised his chin, pretending to be calm and mentioned, “I didn’t imply to……” 

Earlier than he might end talking, Li Mu walked in from the door together with his higher physique topless. Ning You nearly bit his tongue and requested, “Why aren’t you carrying garments?”

“It’s chilly exterior.” Li Mu mentioned and placed on the black T-shirt in his arms.

Ning You had taken a bathe exterior and knew that it was vital to go inside first. He noticed that Li Mu didn’t hassle him about peeking on the bathe, so he didn’t take the initiative to convey it up once more.

Li Mu stepped on the stairway of the lobby, walked straight to the closet, took a sleeping bag out from it. Unfold it on the carpet and mentioned to Ning You: “You sleep right here tonight.” 

There was just one single mattress that was 1.2 meter huge within the cabin. Ning You had already ready himself mentally and knew that he might need to sleep on the bottom tonight. However he actually didn’t anticipate him to do issues in an oversimplified and crude approach, and he didn’t actually have a bedding.

Li Mu appeared to have used up an excessive amount of vitality. After throwing down the sleeping bag, he lay down on the mattress and mentioned to Ning You, “The swap is in your aspect. Keep in mind to show off the sunshine earlier than going to mattress.”

The swap is ready on the entrance, such a circuit structure is comprehensible, however it’s not cheap sufficient. There ought to be a double-control swap subsequent to the mattress, to be able to flip off the lights after mendacity down, as a substitute of going to mattress at nighttime.

Ning You’s specialty is a bit more particular microchip analysis, one piece of microchip lined with advanced built-in circuits, like this series-parallel switching drawback, for him it was like a baby’s play, however he’s too lazy to provide Li Mu a science of this bodily data. 

As a result of when he mentioned it to him, it’s very doubtless Li Mu wouldn’t perceive.

Groping at nighttime and moving into the uncomfortable sleeping bag, Ning You reassured himself that tomorrow after waking up, he can return to the acquainted folks. He doesn’t wish to keep right here any longer, it’s higher to e-book a aircraft and fly straight again to Jin Metropolis.

Within the midst of Ning You’s tossing and turning, Li Mu’s cellphone on the opposite aspect instantly rang with a message alert tone.

Li Mu picked up the cellphone and took a glance, then frowned, sat up and mentioned, “There’s a landslide over there.” 

“Landslide?” Ning You answered at nighttime.

“Forest fires could cause geological adjustments.” Li Mu mentioned, “The highway into the scenic spot is blocked by rocks.”

Ning You was barely surprised and requested, “Then can I nonetheless get out tomorrow?”
