Geng Zhi asked me to review my homework in his room from ten to eleven every night. For the first time, I was surprised when he asked him if he wanted me to read him the Three Hundred and Sixty-Five Nights fairy tale and pat him gently to coax him to sleep. Then he could just knock me out on the spot.
Geng Zhi smiled and said, "Main Xiaowu, you have a very soothing spirit. When I see you, I want to fall down with happiness." I groaned and said since you are so honest, I will condescend to you.
So every day around ten o'clock, I would go to Geng Zhi's room, and while reading British and American literature, I would chat with him about interesting things in the school class. He gradually closed his dark eyes until he fell asleep like a child. Sometimes when I look at these pictures, I can't help but think of the back of Uncle Gui when I first saw him in his office. I think he and I probably both have an indescribable loneliness deep in our hearts that needs to be taken care of.
