Was Liu's bio dad a good father?

“我想你” - “I miss you”

Edit: more abt Nationalities and family shit link 🔗

Note: correct me if google translate fucked me over (I used the traditional Chinese setting)

THIS IS A SHORT ASS POST - It’s been too long and I need to get into writing shit again

Liu’s father “漢生” was good to him. They shared many memories that Liu treasures to this day. Liu didn’t have a long time with him, but he still remembers his father and all he did for him…

Liu loved, and still loves, bugs because of Shang

Shang would pick up bugs and show them to his son and tell him all sorts of things about them

For example: He told Liu the stories and meanings behind how the Chinese see cicadas

He handed him a small brown bug, that was flakey and sharp.

“爸爸？這是什麼？它怎麼一動也不動?”

Dad? What is this? Why is it not moving?

“這這不是一個錯誤，這只是它的外殼。”

This is not a bug, this is just the shell of it.

“它死了嗎？”

Is it dead?

“不,這是蟬殼。他們長大後就會變成這樣。還記得我告訴你蟲子有外骨骼嗎？”

No, it's a cicada shell. That's what they look like when they grow up. Remember when I told you that bugs have exoskeletons?

Liu nodded, sitting on the porch step, looking up at his kneeling father.

「嗯，對他們來說，這殼太小了。所以，他們脫掉了它。這層殼是他們過去生活的殘留，他們繼續前進，開啟新的篇章。我們和他們沒什麼不同。我們會成長，我們會改變。有時候，我們必須放下一些東西。我們要做的就是繼續前進，邁向人生的下一個階段。」

"Well, for them, the shell is too small. So, they shed it. The shell is a remnant of their past life, and they move on and start a new chapter. We are no different than them. We grow, we change. Sometimes, we have to let go of things. All we have to do is move on and move on to the next stage of our lives."

When his mother had to tell him that his father was gone, his world came to a halt. The man who loved him more than anyone who promised he would never leave him, was gone.

[CN] MLQC’s Lucien - First Snowfall Date - English Translation

⚠️ SPOILER ALERT!! ⚠️

This post contains a detailed spoiler for a date that has not been released in EN yet! Feel free to notify me if there are any mistakes in the translation~

Lucien’s 2024 CN Birthday Event (Golden Love Ratio)✧ Birthday Story | Birthday Prologue + Birthday Date (You’re here!) | ASMR

"Actually, the reason for wanting to own a castle is quite simple."

"Because that way, I could have a space of my own to carry out those daring and even dangerous experiments."

"And my parents could also accompany me in the castle, pursuing the research they are deeply passionate about."

"That way, they wouldn’t have to be 'trapped' in the lab all the time."

Translation under the cut!

I’m sorry for dropping this so late. As you might have seen from my tweet, my dad was hospitalized in ICU this month. I’m still struggling emotionally now as I wait for him to wake up. It’s been a difficult time, and the grief is still heavy on me as he hasn’t regained consciousness yet… 

Sharing this date translation is the least I can do to celebrate his birthday for now, even though I won’t be annoyingly scream about it like I usually would hhhh. I guess this date feels a bit like a small comfort—a reminder that even if your loved ones have passed away, it’s not all sadness. There’s still warmth in the memories they left behind :”””.

So, Xu Mo, happy birthday. I’m so happy to see you finally embracing your past with such warmth and nostalgia. Honestly, this year feels like it’s all about him finally gaining ‘blood and flesh,’ becoming more human and beautifully stained with the colors of the mortal world. His world is no longer monochrome, and now he’s moving toward the most vibrant and colorful spring.

[Birthday Prologue]

Sunlight shines on the sofa, and the cozy warmth makes me lift my head from my laptop, stretching with a big, lazy yawn.

MC: It always feels like something’s missing…

Lucien's birthday is coming soon, and to properly celebrate that day, he's been rushing his experiments progress lately, making him incredibly busy.

So, I want to give him a "soft and fluffy" birthday where he can lie down anytime and anywhere.

It's just that I've run into a little problem for the time being.

=Flashback Start=

MC: Lucien, what do you think of this town?

Lucien: It seems quite nice. It just so happens that the lab next door seems to be going here to do some research.

MC: What? No, no, if we're not careful, you'll be swept away by work!

I took out my Plan B and placed it in front of Lucien.

MC: How about this southern city then~ It should be very warm here.

Lucien: Hmm... If you don't want to be disturbed by outsiders, I'm afraid this place won't work either.

Lucien: I remember an academic summit is being held here soon. I just returned the call and declined the invitation to attend.

=Flashback End=

Therefore, after several plans were forced to be aborted one after another, my gaze inevitably shifted to the other side of the ocean.

Let's go somewhere farther away!

That way, Lucien can have a peaceful birthday without being disturbed by work or the outside world.

I immediately change my search keywords and start browsing travel guides for long-distance birthday trips.

Suddenly, a relevant news notification pops up on the webpage.

A castle museum owned by a renowned inventor from the last century will soon be open to the public.

In the photo, the historic castle is adorned with falling red leaves in the sunlight, resembling a piece of condensed amber.

I excitedly click on it and discover that, in addition to the open exhibition area, the castle is also available for rent by the square meter.

MC: ...Castle rental?

My eyes light up, and an idea forms in my mind.

✂———————–

When Lucien returns in the evening, I quietly close my laptop and walk to the door with a smile.

MC: Lucien—welcome home~ Ahem, I have a new idea about your birthday!

Lucien takes off his coat and gently embraces me, his eyes reflecting a soft, tranquil smile like the surface of a shallow water.

Lucien: What's the idea?

MC: Heehee, let me give you a hint~ How about we go somewhere far away for your birthday this time, a place with a vintage feel?

A gentle puff of air that seems like a suppressed chuckle reaches my ears, and a thoughtful expression appears on Lucien's face.

Lucien: Hmm... So, how vintage are we talking?

MC: Like, no elevator, and maybe no heating?

Lucien: Sounds like it could be a bit cold. It seems we'll need to pack some warm clothes.

I subconsciously nod, then immediately react.

MC: Wait, you've already agreed?

Lucien: Mm, after all, celebrating a birthday in a castle is a very appealing option.

MC: !!

MC: Hey! I clearly kept it under wraps, I haven’t even booked the tickets yet.... how did you figure it out so quickly?

Lucien's lips curve into a smile as he takes my hand, his index finger gently tapping on the back of my hand.

Lucien: It's probably because... your browsing history is synced to my computer.

✂———————–

[Date]

If you want to follow along with the voice- you can hear it here . The date starts at 14:10

=[Part 1]=

The late autumn sunshine is softened by the clouds, leaping through the glass window and casting a honey-like, mottled glow on the wooden floor.

MC: Mmh…

The cold air wakes me. As I'm about to stretch, my right hand accidentally brushes against something warm and soft.

Lucien lies peacefully beside me, breathing steadily. His brow, furrowed from days of relentless work, finally relaxes as he falls into a deep well of sleep.

We crossed the ocean and arrived at an ancient castle on the Atlantic coast last night.

It is said that this castle was personally designed and built by an inventor from the electrical era. He gifted it to his wife as a wedding present upon its completion.

They fell in love as they settled down at this very place, continuously building love founded on mutual companionship. Here they remained until they eventually passed away together and were laid to rest eternally within the castle grounds.

The profound emotions and story, coupled with the beautiful view of maple leaves and the ancient castle before my eyes, strengthen my resolve to rent this castle.

Amidst the intermingling of light and shadow this early morning, I quietly gaze at Lucien and a soft warmth wells up in my heart.

A hand with defined knuckles encloses my right hand, his palm pressed against the back of my hand, transmitting his body heat.

It's as if he's reluctant to grasp it tightly, yet unwilling to let go, so he just gently cups my hand.

I raise the hand that he isn’t holding, my fingertips hovering at the smallest distance as I trace the outline of his features.

Eyelashes, the bridge of his nose, his lips… until those closed eyelids suddenly quiver and blink lightly.

Lucien slowly opens his eyes, a hint of soft sleepiness lingering in them.

His hold on my hand tightens as he looks at me drowsily, revealing a gentle, soft smile under the sunlight.

I shift my body slightly, blocking the sunlight that's falling into his eyes, then lean down and gently press my cheek against his.

MC: Happy birthday, Professor Lucien~

Lucien: [his sleepy, soft voice is so cute-] Thank you, my little lady.

He tilts his face up, nuzzling affectionately against my cheek. The sunlight falls on his side profile, making him look fluffy.

The strands of his hair tangle with mine, stirring tender and lingering itches.

Lucien: Waking up in a castle and hearing MC's blessing, I must be the happiest person in the world right now.

Lucien: If I were to say there's still something missing, it would probably be...

Lucien: [chuckles] You're right. This castle is indeed quite cold.

His teasing tone makes me unable to resist lifting the corner of my lips. I snuggle closer, resting my cheek on his collarbone and nuzzling against it, warming the slightly cold patch of skin.

After warming up his skin that was exposed to the air, I tilt my face up to look at him.

MC: Being here with you under the covers like this makes it feel just a bit warmer.  

MC: However, getting up and moving around might help warm up our body too.

I wink at Lucien, speaking with a feigned seriousness that makes the matter seem like a big deal.

MC: I’ve decided to leave this difficult decision to the esteemed castle owner. May I ask, what would Your Highness like to do*?

My words are the picture of courtesy, yet I press myself against Lucien, my hand boldly and unreservedly traces his cheek.

His chest, pressed tightly against mine, trembles softly. Lucien takes my fingers, bringing them to his pale lips for a gentle kiss.

Lucien: Since I’m the owner of this castle... then, I want to stay in bed with my girlfriend for a bit longer right now.

He looks at me and blinks, his eyelashes casting a warm shadow on his cheek.

Lucien: [chuckles] Is that okay?

His voice holds a touch of playful mischievousness. I meet those eyes filled with smiles and feel a little dazed.

MC: Of course…

Before I can even finish speaking, I feel his hand tighten around my waist, and I yield as he wraps me back in the blanket again.

From just a breath away, I hear Lucien's long, contented exhale.

Lucien: [chuckles softly, then exhales comfortably] Then stay with me a little longer, let's indulge in bed a bit more.

✂———————–

*: MC playfully used 您 (nin) here, which is like the formal way to say ‘you’. I translate this to ‘Your Highness’ as an attempt to capture this~

✂———————–

=[Part 2]=

We linger in bed until almost noon when Lucien finally 'digs' me out of the warm covers while I’m still drowsy from sleep.

After freshening up, we enjoy the sumptuous and exquisite brunch prepared by the butler.

Before the birthday dinner arrives, we still have a long stretch of leisurely time that we can freely arrange.

Considering this rare opportunity to vacation in the castle, we decide to spend half the day on the castle's lawn.

Late autumn is a season of vibrant colors, and the castle's designer clearly understood this well, planting a row of deciduous trees along the castle's edge.

[Trivia: Deciduous trees are trees that shed their leaves each year in the autumn!]

The lawn remains as green as an antique jade, but the leaves of the trees have already turned yellow, with a backdrop of maple forests ablaze in crimson.

The sunlight is warm, the fallen leaves crunch under my feet, and I can't help but take a deep breath.

MC: Mmm... It's the scent of autumn!

Lucien chuckles softly and, imitating me, takes a gentle breath of the autumn air.

Lucien: [chuckles] The air is so fresh. It must have rained last night; I can smell the petrichor.

MC: Hearing you say that, it feels like even the air today is a fresh gift for you~

I reach out and catch a falling leaf carried by the autumn breeze, gently placing it in Lucien's hand.

MC: Lucien, I want to give you a gift of autumn!

Lucien: A gift of autumn?

Lucien takes the leaf with a slightly puzzled look. I swing his hand gently and give him a wink.

MC: Consider this leaf a humble offering to spark something greater.

MC: I want to use these fallen leaves, flowers, and fruits to make an autumn basket, offering a small gift to today's birthday boy using nature's bounty.

Lucien gently nods in understanding, the curve of his lips remaining unchanged.

Lucien: Even though you're preparing a gift for me, the birthday boy himself is eager to join in too.

Lucien: Or is it that my little lady will only allow me to stand back and do nothing?

As he leans in slightly, his tone carries a hint of seriousness, and his fingertips lightly brush against my palm.

Sunlight sprinkles across his face, and his smiling eyes, framed by the interplay of light and shadow, appear even deeper, revealing a gentle slyness.

MC: Of course I need Professor Lucien's help, but when it comes to the final weaving stage, the birthday boy can't peek~

Lucien: No problem, I will be an honest collaborator.

The autumn wind lifts his hair, creating gentle curves as it sweeps through the strands. I gather his fingers in mine and we step onto the forest path by the castle.

MC: Let's go then, we still need a lot of materials~

In the maple forest during late autumn, fruit trees laden with fruit hide amongst the low bushes, while vibrant beeches with flourishing branches and leaves stand beside the tall oaks.

Purple crocuses peek their delicate buds from the grass, while after the rain, strange fungi unfurl their caps and release spores.

It's like stumbling into an autumn oil painting with bold colors and thick brushstrokes, every glance reveals a colorful and magnificent scenery.

When Lucien picks up a plump acorn, a red squirrel with a fluffy tail scurries out and squeaks at him.

MC: Wow, such a daring little squirrel!

Lucien and I are both taken aback for a moment; this little fellow seems completely unafraid of us.

MC: Is it greeting us, or is it trying to steal the fruit we've picked up?

Lucien seems to already have a way to handle this, a hint of cunningness flashing in his eyes.

He takes a pine cone in his hand and gently dangles it in front of the little squirrel's tail.

Lucien: [chuckles] Little guy, do you want this?

The greedy little squirrel's eyes instantly fixate on the new pine cone, completely captivated by his movement, and it scurries forward a few steps.

It stuffs the pine cone from Lucien's hand into its mouth in one gulp, then hops away with its cheeks puffed out.

Lucien: [chuckles] This maple forest is their world. That pine cone, well, let's just consider it an ‘entry fee'.

Lucien raises his hand again, and when he opens his palm before me, there they are—several even plumper and cuter acorns.

MC: Hold on, turns out you've been secretly keeping all these 'hidden treasures' to yourself!

Lucien: [in an ‘innocent’ tone] After all, my little lady needs these acorns, so I had to find a way to evade those sharp-eared and keen-eyed little fellows.

Though he says this, Lucien shows a relaxed expression, looking like a little fox pretending to be innocent.

The thought of the Great Professor Lucien actually ‘tricking’ a squirrel makes me burst out laughing. I grab his hand and pull him along as I run in the other direction.

MC: Hahaha, Professor Lucien, quick, run with me! Be careful, the little squirrel might go find the squirrel police and report us!

I hold hands with Lucien as we walk through the woods. The surrounding scenery is vibrant with colors, creating the impression of a flowing oil painting.

The air around the sweet osmanthus trees is filled with a sweet fragrance like cotton candy, while black walnuts and red oak acorns roll on the ground.

My pockets are loaded with autumn's ‘spoils’ which keep spilling out as I run, as if they are merging with the forest's hidden mysteries.

Despite these minor incidents, we still manage to gather a basketful of autumn's gifts.

✂———————–

Back indoors, I carry my blessings for Lucien and patiently weave them together.

Leaves and fruits gradually take shape in my hands, carrying small heartfelt wishes, preserving the warmth and liveliness of autumn.

And then, I find Lucien by the window.

He seems to have just come inside, a hint of coldness still clinging to him, but when he turns and looks back at me, a gentle smile quickly spreads across his face.

I smile and lift the basket of fruits and flowers with both hands as if I'm holding all the beauty of autumn.

MC: This castle’s most beautiful autumn is all right here! Here, it's all yours—

MC: I hope every day of your future can be as complete, fulfilling, and beautiful as this~

Lucien's eyes curve into a smile as he takes the basket.  Suddenly, I feel a touch of moist coolness against my ear.

Through the glass window, I see him quietly tuck a vibrant Cleome flower into my hair.

Lucien: Thank you, I really like these autumn gifts.

Lucien: But for me, the most beautiful part of autumn is right here before my eyes.

Lucien: She blooms year after year, staying by my side, and leaving me utterly captivated*.

✂———————–

[T/N]

I think the Cleome Spinosa flower, also known as 醉蝶花 ("intoxicated butterfly") carries symbolic meaning. When Lucien gives her this particular flower, it reflects his emotions about her. The final line (她年复一年地盛开,陪在我的身边,令我沉醉其中 — literally translated as "She blooms year after year, staying by my side, and leaving me intoxicated") directly connects to the "intoxicating" (醉) in the flower's name with the word 沉醉 (immersed in a state of intoxication) in the last line, which combines 沉 (to sink or immerse) and 醉 (to be drunk or intoxicated).

沉醉 conveys the emotional nuances of being utterly captivated, deeply enchanted, and overwhelmed in a consuming, blissful way. This imagery mirrors the 'intoxicated butterfly' of the flower, as if he's the 'intoxicated butterfly', utterly captivated and completely consumed by her existence.

✂———————–

=[Part 3]=

It's past dusk, and the sunlight is as golden and radiant as freshly harvested honey. Outside the window, a vast expanse of red maple trees sways in harmony with the evening breeze, whispering a soft melody. Leaves flutter and dance their way into the room every now and then.

I rub my arms, for even this gentle and beautiful scenery can’t stop the temperature from dropping as night falls.

MC: Uh... It feels even colder than it did this morning.

Just then, the sound of rolling wheels comes from behind me. Lucien approaches, pushing a small wooden cart, a plush shawl in his hand.

Lucien: I found a pretty good way to warm up, want to give it a try?

He gently wraps a shawl around me, and I comfortably nuzzle against his warm and cozy neck.

MC: I'm all ears to hear the esteemed opinions of the castle's owner!

Lucien smiles mysteriously, holds my hand, and pushes the cart as we walk together to a door leading underground.

MC: This is... a wine cellar?

Lucien: I think it would be more ceremonial if we chose the wine list ourselves tonight.

He lights the two oil lamps that were prepared in advance. Each of us carries one, and we slowly move forward through the rich aroma of oak barrels.

According to the butler, the wine cellar was recently ventilated.  

Yet, perhaps the overwhelming aroma of wine saturates the air, walking inside makes me feel a bit stifled. I even feel slightly intoxicated just from the scent, before even having a sip.

Besides me, only Lucien still carries the fresh and crisp scent of grass and trees from when we were gathering fruits and fallen leaves.

It feels like he is the only antidote in this dim room filled with the floating aroma of wine.

Red maple leaves, the wine cellar, the wine itself… memories from the past seem to overlap at this moment.

Suddenly, I recall the winery we visited long ago.

The memory of the autumn stained red by the maple leaves has brought with it the restlessness and infatuation of the past, spilling out from the bottom of my heart without any reason...

It's as if my lips still retain the feeling of his touch when he wiped away the wine stain for me, making my heartbeat inexplicably quicken. Just then, I catch sight of Lucien gently placing a bottle of wine into the cart.

MC: Professor Lucien, what kind of wine did you choose?

Lucien: Riesling white wine.

Lucien turns the bottle around to show me.

Lucien: When I got the cart, the butler knew I was going to the wine cellar and recommended this castle's specialty to me.

Lucien: And you?

I suppress the excitement in my heart and wink at him mysteriously.

MC: Hmph, you'll find out soon enough.

The light and soft aroma of white wine fills the air, and even the candles on the wall seem intoxicated by the wine's fragrance, their flames gently flickering.  

Under the twilight dome of the sky, the shadows of the wine rack and stone walls sway gracefully in the flickering firelight.  

Lucien and I sit at a small table nearby, two crystal-clear glasses already filled with wine, exuding a faintly tipsy aura.  

After two glasses of Riesling, I feel warmth spreading through my body and let out a satisfied sigh.

MC: Ahh, so comfortable... I don't feel cold at all anymore~ As expected of the wine Professor Lucien chose.

Lucien: [chuckles] Would you like some more?

I smile and shake my head, winking at him mysteriously.

MC: First, let's try the wine I picked~

I open the bottle of wine I selected and pour a glass for Lucien, sneaking a glance at his face from the corner of my eye.  

The candlelight cast a soft filter over him, concealing his keen and contemplative eyes, which revealed a soft glow under the haze of the wine.

He parts his pale lips, gently swallows the wine, and seems to be momentarily dazed.

MC: How is it?

I can barely contain my anticipation as I watch his brow smooth slightly, relaxing further after taking in the wine.

Confusion and surprise flit through his gentle eyes, before swiftly transforming into a clear understanding.

Lucien:  ...This flavor is very unique, and yet also very familiar.

Lucien: It's sweet and tender, yet with a touch of bitterness and complexity*.

[Notes from Lux: He copied her remark from back then, word by word :”””. 纠结 is a tricky word to translate because it literally means “intertwined”/”tangled”. But figuratively, it implies a kind of intertwined, tangled feeling, commonly describing a state of emotional or mental conflict, where someone feels torn between different choices or is experiencing confusion and hesitation (a.k.a the state of the earlier stage of their relationship-). I went with ‘complexity’ to capture some nuances, but it might not capture this ‘entangling’ feeling.]

The complex yet familiar remark sends a rush of emotions through me. Just as I’m thinking about what to say, Lucien smiles.

Lucien: But when I savor it again, I feel a warmth, like that of sunshine and rain—a delicate, pleasant warmth.

The familiar words stir a trace of emotion in my heart, and in a daze, it feels as if the autumn equinox of that year has arrived at this very moment.

He still remembers—this is the same bottle of wine I tasted back when we were just getting to know each other, during our visit to Eileen's winery for an interview.

My fingertips unconsciously rub against the bottle, and my thoughts follow my gaze to the red maple trees bathed in the evening glow.

Back then, it was also the season when the maples were crimson and the flowers were in full bloom...

A maple leaf, as if on cue, is swayed by the evening breeze and drifts toward me. I instinctively reach out, and the leaf gently lands in my palm.

It feels as though the early days of tentative exploration and the subtle sweetness of that time have traveled with the falling leaf, arriving here in this foreign land at this moment.

Lucien: I remember, on the way to the winery, I mentioned Maple Road. We ended up going there together.

Lucien: On Maple Road, we read a poetry collection together and visited a maple sugar shack.

Lucien: Later, I drew a picture of you collecting maple leaves. That drawing even ended up in an exhibition...

The rippling light of the wine in the crystal glass reflects on him, even his gaze holds tender memories.

Lucien speaks calmly, his memories unfolding like a heavy book, slowly opening before me with the sound of his voice.

The bond beneath the red maple tree and the feelings growing in the vineyard, word by word, moment by moment, intertwine and become etched into our story-

Only those who created it together can turn its pages and retrieve each other's anchors from the endless flow of time.

My heart is stirred, subtly and uncontrollably. I can't help but rush into Lucien's arms, hugging him tightly.

MC: I remember too.

MC: Not just these things you've mentioned... everything about you, I remember it all.

MC: So after today, Professor Lucien should also update this birthday into all our autumn memories.

His chest pressed close to me, trembles slightly. A warm, gentle kiss falls on my forehead, soft and cherishing.

Lucien: Such beautiful memories, I don't seem to have any reason to let them fade away.

I lift my face joyfully and gently kiss his chin.  

We have already experienced countless stories through many autumns and celebrated each of his birthdays.

And I also want to write down promises with him for each and every autumn in the future, continuing on for a very, very long time.

MC: Then it's a promise!

Lucien smiles faintly and lifts me up with one hand, his gentle gaze meeting mine at eye level.

Lucien: [chuckles] However, if I want to make the anchor of this ‘memory’ even more profound, I still need to gather a bit of inspiration…

The remaining of his words are lost into our mingling breaths, replaced by a crisp kiss tinged with the scent of wine.

This kiss is gentle and intoxicating, leaving me somewhat tipsy, though not from the effects of alcohol.

Perhaps it's because the youthful and inexperienced flavor of that past has long since mixed with the passionate love that has matured over time…

Blending and growing, pulling me deeply into it.

✂———————–

=[Part 4]=

The twilight gradually fades into the night, and the bright moon quietly hangs in the autumn night, illuminating the still dazzling and fiery red maple leaves.

Lucien and I are still sitting at the table, enjoying the tranquility, when a sudden coldness brushes against my cheek.

I raise my head and realize, without noticing it, that snowflakes have already begun drifting down from the sky. Just then, I hear Lucien's smiling voice beside me.

Lucien: It seems that today's ‘gifts’ are not over yet.

MC: After all, today is your birthday—the whole world will be sending you blessings~

Our gazes meet, and with a tacit understanding, we both set down our glasses and take each other's hands.

Lucien: Then, can I invite my ‘world’ to go out with me and experience this beauty together?

In the courtyard, rustling red maples intertwine with falling snowflakes, as if autumn and winter themselves are completing their handover at this very moment.

We get an umbrella from the butler and hold hands as we follow the stone path down the hill from the old castle.

The moonlight on a snowy night grows brighter as we walk side by side to the small town at the foot of the hill, where the houses and streetlights are all covered in a delicate layer of snowflakes.

On the streets of the small town, many people, like Lucien and I, stroll under the moonlight, accompanied by the backdrop of the first snowfall, tacitly enjoying this tranquil night.

I turn my head to look at Lucien and find him reaching out his hand, gently catching a falling snowflake.

His eyes curve faintly, as if harboring some kind of quiet longing, even carrying a touch of rare childlike innocence.

MC: [smiles softly] Why does it feel like Professor Lucien has a special fondness for this snow?

My tone holds a hint of curiosity, wanting to capture this rare glimpse of his innocence. Lucien smiles and begins to speak softly.

Lucien: [softly, like recalling a cherished memory] Just remembered a movie I watched when I was little. I remember... it was about an inventor who lived in a castle.

Lucien: After watching it as a child, there was a time when I also wanted to be an inventor with a castle.

My eyes widen in a bit of surprise.

MC: [pouts] I can understand wanting to be an inventor, but why did it have to be one who lives in a castle…

MC: Professor Lucien, could it be that you're teasing me on purpose just because we came to a castle this year?

Lucien: [chuckles] Of course not. But if this story will make this little lady happy, I’d be more than willing to tell it to you.

MC: I want to hear it, I want to hear it!

I enthusiastically put on an attentive look, Lucien smiles as he begins to speak.

Lucien: Actually, the reason for wanting to own a castle is quite simple.

Lucien: Because that way, just like the main character in the movie, I could have a space of my own to carry out those daring and even dangerous experiments.

Lucien: And my parents could also accompany me in the castle, pursuing the research they are deeply passionate about.

Lucien: That way, they wouldn’t have to be 'trapped' in the lab all the time.

Lucien speaks naturally, his voice imbued with a soft smile, yet it's as if a tiny window is being opened.

Through that window, I seem to see a little Lucien, his eyes sparkling with fascination as he watches the movie, his heart filled with simple and pure longing.

My heart suddenly softens, and I can’t help but smile tenderly as I start to speak.

MC: The dream of becoming an inventor could now be considered halfway realized~

MC: After all, Professor Lucien is a great scientist walking at the forefront of humanity—it’s perhaps even more remarkable than that!

MC: As for the castle... you've been the ‘owner of the castle’ for a day today, does that count?

Lucien: [chuckles] Of course it counts. And now, there’s even the first snowfall.

He takes my slightly cold hand and slips it in his pocket, softly rubbing it.

Lucien: I can no longer recall the plot of that movie very well. But I do remember that on the day we watched it, it also snowed in Loveland City.

Lucien: That day, they finished work early and brought home the videotape of that movie.

Lucien: The movie ended with the town welcoming its first snowfall, and we also stepped outside together to enjoy the snowy world.

He speaks vaguely, but I understand everything.

His low voice feels especially serene on this snowy night, yet as he speaks, another scene unfolds before my eyes.

When his room flooded before, he tidied up those old videotapes and set them aside, placing them carefully in a separate spot.

Is this old movie among those tapes?

As he put away the videotapes, did he recall that ancient castle and that warm snowfall?

I don’t know the answer, but I can feel that those fleeting, rarely mentioned fragments of his past were once so distant and cold.

But now, those precious fragments have thawed like melting ice and snow, filled with nostalgia and warmth as they slowly flow.

I instinctively tighten my hold on his hand.

The first snowfall is falling thicker and thicker, yet it isn't biting cold. Snowflakes gently drift past the edge of the umbrella, landing on the tips of my hair and forehead, as well as Lucien's.

It's as if this world is bestowing its blessings on Lucien in the most gentle way.

MC: Even though it's many years late, it seems that we've now made little Lucien's childhood dream come true.

With a chuckle, Lucien's low voice reaches me through the wind and snow.

Lucien: [chuckles] Indeed, so I was quite surprised, but also delightfully so.

Lucien: However, if it weren’t for this twist of fate, perhaps I wouldn’t have thought of this idea again for a very, very long time.

Lucien: [softly] Because I've long had something far more important.

Lucien: To me, those forgotten thoughts are more like a bottle of wine hidden in a cellar.

MC: Wine?

Lucien: Mm, just like the wine we’re drinking today.

Lucien: Grapes can never return to their original form, but time makes them richer and more mellow, and they will always meet someone who knows how to cherish them.

Lucien: She will give me a castle, stay in bed with me, treasure an entire autumn with me... and walk with me through quiet streets on snowy nights.

A snowflake quietly lands on his eyelashes and melts a moment later. It’s as if the melted droplets seep into my heart, creating ripples of sweet warmth.

I can't help but speak softly, offering all my blessings to my beloved standing before me under the moonlight of this snowy night.

MC: Happy birthday, Lucien.

May each and every year of your future be surrounded with love as you move forward.

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*FIN*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

[Bonus Phone call]

Lucien: I received the email you sent. Looks like it has some intel about a birthday.

MC: Yes! It's a text-based open-source game I found online. I modified it a bit~

MC: You can start from age 0 and randomly generate the 'life' of a little Lucien!

Lucien: Mm, just now, I've already completed two endings.

Lucien: The first time, little Lucien was accidentally captured by an alien spacecraft at the age of three and left Earth forever.

Lucien: The second time, little Lucien received a mysterious admission letter at the age of sixteen. No one knows where he went.

[Aren't these just a reflection of his past??? from being kidnapped by BS to mysteriously disappearing hhhhh]

MC: Haha, is the game’s random value design too harsh? Maybe I should tweak it a bit...

Lucien: No need, I really like this level of difficulty. It’s precisely this randomness that makes it so interesting to me.

Lucien: I’ve just started my third playthrough. This time, I’ve decided to reallocate some of the 15 points I gave to intelligence and assign some to luck.

[Not this basically saying that his genius may be the reason for his unluckiness in life :""". His 'luck' in life is that he's able to met her]

MC: So Professor Lucien had been putting all the points into one stat before! No wonder you kept having such over-the-top mysterious experiences...

Lucien: I just subconsciously wanted to test the limits of this little game, and unexpectedly made real discoveries.

Lucien: Although these endings greatly increased the game's replayability, this time, I want to make the game last a bit longer.

Lucien: That way, perhaps I can meet you in the game as well.

MC: Hehe, you can look forward to it!

MC: So, how's it going? What age did you reach in your third playthrough?

Lucien: …Hmm, I've already invented the elixir of immortality and reached the age of two hundred, but I still haven't encountered you.

Lucien: Am I on the right track?

MC: Pfft! I did set up an encounter, but I didn't set an age limit, thinking it would slightly increase replayability...

MC: I feel like I might have overdone it...

Lucien: It’s okay. In the game, little Lucien has already met you—at the age of five hundred.

Lucien: Then, on his birthday, we confessed to each other at the same time and spent a happy life together.

[Man so love-brained that he creates an immortality elixir and stubbornly waits a long time to finally meet her LOL. In this way, it can be said that his current life might be the 'luckiest' possibility because it allows him to meet her so soon]

MC: Hahaha, that's good, that's good... So, do you like this "life path" of becoming an inventor?

Lucien: I like it. I like everything and my destined encounter with you.

Lucien: I’ll be home soon, and when I get there, I’d like to invite you to explore all the other possibilities for little Lucien together—

Lucien: And explore every moment I spent with you on this birthday.

空壳 - (Empty Shell) Shen

I was looking for a video with the album art for this song when I came across this live on youtube, and then of course I had to sub it too.

They all say that I am just an empty shell. Is there cruelty or tenderness behind this face — unknown. Yet you came from afar bearing gifts of trust, little by little, filling me to the brim:

With the piggy bank you love, with the little marbles you won, and with the very first bouquet of flowers you got. With the gratification of finally, finally owning your first pair of shoes, and with the dress you kept peering at through the display, that you one day took for your own. — you said that all these were called ‘sweetness’.

Also, with your reluctance to let go, head bowed with the weight of living, with you, always walking alone through the darkest of tunnels, with greetings that would never be sent, with pain no one would understand. One by one, all were entrusted to me. So, this is what’s called ‘bitterness’. I take them all with me as I go. They are treasures in my eyes. And only after bidding you farewell, did I learn that this is what’s called ‘mine’.

The empty shell who now knew taste, did not understand why so much trust could be given to me. The empty shell, flesh and blood newly grown, began to feel emptier than ever before. All because of what you gave!

That piggy bank never fully filled, those marbles all dust-covered, that first bouquet of flowers which has now withered, those hands always meant to be let go, and that head, too heavy to lift — you gave them all to me without reservation. I gladly welcomed them all.

Hands were switched in this moment; one empty, one full.

And you were still asking me, “Is it worthwhile to fill an empty shell?” But I was only afraid for you, that you were going to lose yourself. You say that the old you is already so close to falling apart, that you don’t yet know where to find your new self. I’ll bring them along. Perhaps someday when we meet again, I shall hug you just as gently. This empty shell is me; it is also you. It is also you.

...............................................................................................

他们都说我只是个空壳 不懂残酷或温柔的面孔 而你却从远方走来 带着信物 一点点把我 填满了

有你爱的存钱筒 有你赢的小弹球 有你收的第一束花 有你等好久好久 把第一双鞋拥有 有你看了又看 终于 带离橱窗的裙

你说这都叫做甜的

还有不愿放的手 被生活压低的头 有你总一个人在漆黑隧道里走 有送不到的问候 有无人听懂的痛 都一一交付于我 原来这叫苦的 我带着它们走 全都视为珍重 在与你告别后 才明白这叫做拥有

懂得了滋味的空壳 不懂为何信任那么多 却给了我 长出了血肉的空壳 开始感觉比从前更空 是你给的

没装满的存钱筒 落满灰尘的弹球 第一束花也已凋落 那终将放开的手 那无力抬起的头 你全给我毫无保留 我欣然都接受

空和满在此刻换手

而你却还在问我 填满空壳的意义 可我只是害怕你 弄丢了你自己 你说旧的你已经 就快要分崩离析 还不知道新的你该在哪里找寻 我带着它们去 也许再次相遇 再轻轻拥抱你 这空壳是我 也是你 也是你

[MIYAVI LESSON] MIYAVI and PS COMPANY

This article is to tell you guys how many resources MIYAVI has got from PS COMPANY and his fans, co-miyavi. In my opinion, it was a breach of trust for him to take on someone else's resources and not help the people who provided them realize their dreams, but instead marry Melody and run away from PS COMPANY. MIYAVI, he's a liar! He never liked music or even his fans!!! They were just tools for MIYAVI to marry an American. His daughter, who can't even speak Japanese, and claimed to be "American" at a jazz class in Tokyo in 2024. You can use translation software to understand the content of the article. Thank you so much. m (_ _)m

[雅学精选]八一八MIYAVI和PS COMPANY当年的那些事

MIYAVI，原名石原崇雅，1981年生，曾经隶属于Due’le quartz乐队，乐队解散后开始SOLO活动，依旧隶属于PS COMPANY事务所，2009年奉子成婚后宣布PSC脱退。 PS COMPANY的代表取缔役是尾崎友美，也就是传说中的尾崎社长了。 我少女时代因为信息不对称，我对尾崎友美的印象大致也和中文流媒体��看到的差不多，老巫婆，压榨旗下艺人，养小白脸，等等(我不删不改，就那么留着)。

我对日本粉丝跑路也是非常不理解，结婚生子怎么了？不至于这样就跑路吧。我10年前左右的文章，很多也都是这个看法。 直到我自己因为对雅-miyavi-的狂热喜爱，不计代价的大量收购有关他的日语原版纸媒后。 在大量看到他的日本活动细节和时间线后，我现在对石原崇雅其人和尾崎友美，有了全新不一样的认识。

现在我来给大家分享一下我搜集到的信息，各位看客看完后自己分辨就好。

PS COMPANY简介 先来说一下PS COMPANY （又称PSC或P缶，因为公司的日语读音很像P缶），此处主要引用wiki，同时增加一些wiki中没有的有关MIYAVI的时间线。

“制作歌手照片和官方网站，短期内连续发售音源，将CD的封面换成数种进行发售，所属乐队的定期巡回演唱会等宣传战略都很强势。

代表董事尾崎友美是从视觉系乐队的粉丝变成制作职员的。

2005年与king records合作推出PS music, 11月23日正式发行CD及DVD。之后，除了雅-miyavi-， Kagrra，的新作由PS music发售。

2007年5月、雅-miyavi-(当时)、Kagrra，、Kra、the GazettE、Alice Nine的主要部门之外、小规模的独立制作人培育部门Indie。最近的Indie PSC.中，BORN是成员。

2009年1月3日，PS COMPANY 10周年纪念演唱会“Peace & Smile Carnival”在日本武道馆举行。 门票在开售当天就售罄。

2009 年，PS COMPANY 乐队与 King Records 之间的合同似乎已经到期。 Kagrra， 2010 年的新专辑由 Crown Tokuma Music Sales 作为独立专辑发行。 之后，the GazettE 决定将由 Sony Music Records 发行，Alice Nine 将由 Tokuma Japan Communications 发行。

2009年4月5日，雅-miyavi-于日比谷野外大音乐堂的LIVE演出，宣告加入PS COMPANY十年毕业。

2009年4月8日，成立自己的公司J-glam inc.。次日于MySpace公开成立公司与结婚事实，并宣布孩子将于夏天出生。

2011 年，所属的 SuG 宣布将暂停活动并离开了事务所。

2014 年 3 月 2 日，Rave 加入了独立 PSC。

2016 年 9 月 30 日，LOTUS 因独家合同终止而从事务所离籍。

the GazettE （这个据我考证只是在一个PSC下面的子事务所，其实并没有离开PSC，大概是因为这个乐队人气一直特别高，所以给了专门的管理团队）

PSC的工作环境和起家过程 PSC的事务所工作是什么样的呢，此处引用雅-miyavi-2009年在杂志中的采访（Arena 37℃，2009年3月号，我自己翻译的。这个杂志采访的时间点很微妙哦，是melody实际上已经怀了好几个月，但是还未对外官宣婚育的时候。）：

这次一边回顾着1月3日的武道馆PSC祭，一边想请您讲述从事务所成立之初就在的居民、雅所知道的10年。 -好了好了，明白了。(这时事务所的staff给我倒茶)谢谢。嗯?这是什么东西？(发现托盘背面的价签)含税210日元(笑)。”工作人员说“啊，价签还是买的时候贴的呢…(苦笑)”“明明已经在武道馆办了事务所的祭典live，而事务所却还在用210日元的盘子吗~ 噫~"大概这样的感觉(笑)" 好嘛(笑)，210日元的盘子! -含税210日元倒是可以，不过还是拿着价签用吧(笑)。但是，事务所最开始其实也只有Due’le quartz(雅所在的乐队)的4个成员和社长(笑)。我们还得自己去冈田屋寻找制作服装的素材，还有专门卖视觉系的CD店，这些我都是进了事务处才知道的。这就是我们曾经有过的的文化……(笑) 竟然是社长带着成员挨个转了一圈唱片公司啊。而且一开始只有女性staff啊。 -因为以前是全是女性，所以事务所搬来搬去的时候，连艺人都被排挤出去了。那个时候连开口说话都很辛苦呢(笑。不过，以前只有Due’le quartz的时候，我和sakiponn（前Due’le quartz的主唱sakito的昵称）、社长还有我，三个人去全国参加in store event*。那个时候，我调查了所有去过的地方的CD店，带着Due’le quartz的CD。“拜托了。”然后一家一家地去打招呼。社长以前好像在演歌系的事务所待过一段时间，这（陌拜）似乎是在那里学来的技巧。因为还是根本没人知道的地下视觉系乐队，所以总是会听到“哈？Due’le quartz？这是什么玩意？”就算是这样，社长还是一直带着我和sakiponn到处走，这真的到现在还留在心��，也因为这样我很尊敬她（尾崎友美）。

*in store event，即店内活动，是指名人或行业成员在唱片店、书店或购物中心等设施中举办的活动。 它主要作为 CD、DVD、书籍（照片书、散文等）促销活动的一部分来完成。

店内现场表演是表演音乐的店内活动。

作为活动的例子有签名会、握手会、游戏大会等，音乐家的场合也可以进行演奏和歌唱行为。在谁都可以进入的空间里不收取费用的情况很多，另一方面，拥有活动专用空间的店，也会有“只有购买商品的顾客才能入场”等限定对象的情况。

===========================

再引用一下尾崎友美自己的采访（2014年5月9日，Musicman’s RELAY）

尾崎:还有很多演唱会，但是当时即使想去都没办法。那时，母亲再婚了，继父是个很优秀的人，一家人关系很好。但他说:“女孩子怎么可能去东京，福冈应该也有很多工作吧。”我想如果要工作的话只能在音乐界，但是福冈没有唱片公司和事务所，只有live house和唱片店。虽然有厂家的营业所，但都是从总公司来的，本地只有前台之类的工作。因为在唱片店工作了5年，有好几家公司问我“要不要来我家?”，但我并不是想做前台，我还是憧憬制作或者事务所。

——您是怎么说服父母的呢?

尾崎:离家出走。

——是吧(笑)。

尾崎:写了留言就出门了。

——你最初在东京住在哪里?

尾崎:永福町吧。

——那是多大的时候呢?

尾崎:22 ~ 23岁左右。短大毕业后，我在福冈待了一段时间，一边观察情况，一边找房子。

——你刚来东京的时候工作还没定吧?

尾崎:当然。总之只能离开。

——这种行动力真是太棒了。

尾崎:不过我也想过一定要把地址告诉我母亲。我一直觉得东京很危险，所以就在派出所前面找了个房子，在一间单间里，只要有被褥、音响、电视和电话就行了。现在我还记得，到东京的那天晚上，我去便利店站着看招聘杂志(笑)。

——(笑)。当时还没有互联网呢。

尾崎:虽然找到了事务所的招聘机会，但是我依然一边想着“不可能被在艺能界这么有名的地方录用”，一边把简历投了出去，结果还是顺利地被录用了。现在被称为“3k”*的行业，年轻人都不太愿意来，但在当时却很受欢迎。我通过了激烈的竞争，终于进入了公司。就像做梦一样(笑)。

*3k指日语的「きつい、汚い、危険」的简称。又脏又累又危险的行业。”

“尾崎:我并不是有什么特别的目标才辞职的，而是一边找工作一边去看演唱会，偶然有个歌手问我:“能不能作为工作人员来帮忙?”我就开始帮忙了。艺人们非常热情，“大家一起去主流公司吧”，虽然没有任何经验，但还是努力了。结果去了主流公司，事务所却有工作人员说了一句“不要女的”就被挂断了。

——这真是太冤枉了。

尾崎:成员们都为了能留下来而努力了……总之很不甘心，想着“不能去主流公司就不会辞职”。现在想想，是非常渺小的自尊吧(笑)?

自尊心越强，越能让人踏实做事。(笑)

——对事务所来说，应该也认为你是志愿者吧。

尾崎:的确如此。因为在那里被切断了，由于不甘心才成立了PS COMPANY哟(笑)。

——真是太帅了。顺便说一下，那个事务所现在还在吗?

尾崎:已经没有了。但是，我充满了今后要培养视觉系第一艺人的心情。”

——到成立PS COMPANY为止异常的快呢。来东京才两年吗?

尾崎:现在想想还挺可怕的。应该说是鲁莽吧。虽然也有不甘心的心情，但我想是因为喜欢视觉系才会这样的。

——即使这么想，也很难真的就做到。

尾崎:因为没有公司愿意接受，所以只能自己做了(笑)。

——是有所属的艺人创立的吗?还是建立之后才开始发掘的?

尾崎:只有一个艺人。他们既是工作人员也是艺人的ローディー*，我们谈到了我们想做这样的艺术家的梦想，就一起从召集成员开始。当时聚集在一起的成员之一是当时17岁的Miyavi-，是Due'le quartz的一位艺人。

*ローディー，也就是roadie，中文直译是路人，但是词不达意= =。主要是指流行音乐业界中，那些进行乐器安排、装载、运输、安装、调整等音乐活动，对乐器进行维护管理，对音乐人进行支援等业务的人。

有时也被称为ロードクルー(road crew)、ロードマネージャー(road manager)。专门负责乐器等器材的调整和安装的人也被称为テクニシャン(Technician)。

——Miyavi先生是如何成为成员的？

尾崎：当时我们公司里没有艺人，所以入不敷出，所以我们只做PS COMPANY主办的活动。 因为出场的艺人和Miyavi-是同学的缘故，所以就来了。 他介绍说“是大阪的朋友。。”，问“你是否愿意在我家做？”，就邀请来了。

——顺便问一下，你听过Miyavi先生弹吉他吗？

尾崎：不，我没有。

——明明没有听过，却还是邀请了吗?那是因为有V系的感觉吗?

尾崎:直觉吧。

——真是太棒了。这种直觉可不一般。活动全部是您自己做的吗?

尾崎:是的。虽然成立了事务所很好，但是旗下没有艺人。既然作为事务所成立了，就必须好好地进行音乐活动，所以有各种各样的考虑吧。那么，最快捷的就是快速活动了。话虽如此，一个刚成立不久、名不见经传的奇怪公司的活动，肯定不会有艺人愿意参加，所以我很拼命。

以前，著名艺人在日本武道馆等大型会场的演唱会之后，会有化着妆的业余艺人给演唱会结束后出来的客人发传单。于是我装成客人，把这些东西全部拿回来，如果有觉得不错的艺术家，就马上打电话问“能不能参加活动”，一个月大概做四次这种活动。所以一开始大家以为我们不是事务所，而是活动公司(笑)。

——Miyavi-也是这样，没有看过演奏却能被找到，真是了不起。

尾崎:就算现在，所属的艺人也几乎没听过曲子。见了面听到对方说“想做”，“那试着做?”，就这样。

——公司是什么时候步入正轨的呢?

尾崎:到Kra为止都是4个人一起做的。

——这样的话，真是忙得团团转啊。因为什么都要做。

尾崎:全部都要做呢。一切都是在摸索。

——4个人看管3个艺人。每个人都有各自的活动，演唱会也不是在同一个地方举行吧?

尾崎:已经一塌糊涂了。即便如此，也有一开始就留下来的员工。真的很感激呢。但是，现在想想，那样也很开心。

——你现在有多少员工?

尾崎:光员工就有40人左右吧。我经常说，企业就是人，我只是个创业者，什么都没做，我有很多真正的好员工。

——不仅是音乐家，对员工也有看人的眼光。

尾崎:我想“和这个人合作”的话就会自己去接近。对室长铃木就像跟踪狂一样纠缠不休地说“想和你一起工作”(笑)。我也知道她的头衔，但不知道她以前做过什么。这也是直觉。

===========================

看完了石原氏和尾崎氏的官方证词，我们可以大概概括一下PSC是怎么开始创业和运营的，概括下来就是： 1. 尾崎氏也是单亲家庭，是离家出走来到的东京，在创业的时候家庭没有给她任何经济援助，刚来东京的时候甚至还要想办法解决租房和打工（经济）的问题。 2. 尾崎友美本人就是粉丝，她是抱着做V系第一艺人而不是赚钱的目的进入的事务所行业。

3. 事务所内staff的生活也好，艺人的生活也好，都很清贫，早期只有尾崎一个人既是社长也是staff，还要带着乐队去唱片店，通过陌拜来推销CD。后面即使已经到了2009年，PS COMPANY 的10周年纪念演唱会“Peace & Smile Carnival”在日本武道馆举行并售罄的情况下，事务所连招待人都还在使用210日元的廉价餐具。

关于第2点，“做V系第一艺人”，这句话嘴上说说很容易，如果只是嘴上说说，不仅是各位看客，连我这种也算经历各种社会上摸爬滚打的人也是不相信的。 那我来直接考证尾崎友美当年为了雅-miyavi-这个艺能团队，做了哪些事情好了。 由于年代久远，一些小活动已经不可考证，还有些不重要的例如发CD和录唱片这些过于幕后的内容也不好考证，我下面主要考证的时间线是他的各种大型公开活动细节，包括大型演唱会，海外巡演，肉眼可见的重量级团队等。 其中很多演出以及大型活动，因为不明原因连日本语wiki上都未收录（笑），丢失的词条中，关于重点活动，我会详细解释活动细节和内容。

PS COMPANY大事记

-2002年9月22日，Due’le quartz刚解散，这一年石原氏开始solo，艺名为雅-miyavi-。后面没剩几个月了，这年基本没有太大型的活动。 -2003年4月25日，2003下剋上，场地渋谷公会堂，是一个2000多人的hall，预定票价3800日元，当日券4500日元。这场有刻VHS录影带和DVD，比较容易在网上找到信息。 2003年10月19日，成りあがり，场地日比谷野外大音楽会堂，是个3000人左右的坐席hall，无论什么时候购买，票价一律3820日元。 这场演出我要重点解说一下，虽然你看对外的官宣信息没啥特别的，但是如果你发现了支援乐队“石原軍団”的人员名单，相信你一定会和我一样惊讶。

你没有看错，真的是这4个人。

也许有人不认识第三个乐队，那是X-JAPAN的吉他手hide自己带的乐队。 成员名单和后面天天被拿出来吹的S.K.I.N., the last rockstars，可以说成员名单高度重合。

剩下那个圣饥魔的吉他手，圣饥魔在日本的地位不比X JAPAN低，虽然不是视觉系，但是也是殿堂级的乐队。

然后这几个人是真的在和雅-miyavi-平等的组乐队吗？笑。 想想看雅-miyavi-姓什么。他们只是来做support的。

不信我们来看下： S.K.I.N. GACKT from Malice Mizer YOSHIKI from X JAPAN SUGIZO from LUNA SEA/X JAPAN 雅-miyavi- the last rockstars HYDE from L'Arc~en~Ciel/VAMPS YOSHIKI from X JAPAN SUGIZO from LUNA SEA/X JAPAN MIYAVI

S.K.I.N.由于年代久远演出细节难以考证，我们来看看末代摇帝的好了。

这是东京场的细节和票价。最便宜的都要12000日元，最贵的要98000日元。

只要3820日元，你就可以看到X JAPAN，圣饥魔，LUNA SEA，hide的solo乐队的成员同台竞技啊（泪奔

2003年12月28日，現代奇想博覧会，东京BAY HK HALL。这是个拼盘演出，里面包括MUCC，Merry，DAIGO，the GazettE等乐队，票价为提前购买5500日元，当日券6000日元。 这场演出雅-miyavi-的支援乐队还是来自X JAPAN，圣饥魔，LUNA SEA，hide的solo乐队“石原軍団” *“石原軍団”参与的两场演出，日本语wiki全都没收录（包括几个前辈乐手自己的百科），很有意思（笑）。

2004年7月，日本脱出。这是个海外巡演，日程和场地以及票价是 7.10 韩国 QUEEN LIVE HALL，3820日元。 7.18 香港 香港湾仔会议展览中心 （这场因为非典流行取消） 7.24 台湾 17 Young party，6300日元。

由于年代久远，只能找到韩国场地的照片了，长这样。

只有4个乐手都转身困难的情况，从舞台宽度推算，一定是300人以下的场子，甚至就100人。。

*这场神奇的海外巡演，日本语wiki未收录（笑）。

你是不是很奇怪为什么我写的是日元定价？没错，这几场说是海外巡演，其实是让日本粉丝去远征的，有当时的应募券证明。甚至怕日本仔雅不懂远征，除了单卖日本仔雅，还找了旅行社打包差旅费用哈哈哈。 远征费用很贵，旅行社报价96000~99000日元。 广告页上还提到，当年的4月他去了韩国参加event，5月在台湾参加event，6月在香港参加event。

2004年8月11日 最初也是最后（？）的雅fan感谢DAY，东京巨蛋（5.5万人） 2004年8月31日 This is 王道，日本武道馆（1.5万人）。

这两场活动我要重点介绍，因为这组活动可以说惊天地动鬼神（？）了。 首先，第一个见面会的场地是东京巨蛋。

东京巨蛋，坐席全开有大约5.5万人，是日本最大的室内场地之一。

而之前最多也就开过3000人演唱会的石原氏怎么可能有这个演出动员力呢？ 没错，所以这场活动不是演唱会，是见面会。他也没办握手会，是摸头会，每个人都来见面给他摸头。 看台全部没开，就开了内场。

也就包个东京巨蛋嘛，虽然这场地得要百万场租吧，可是这不是还能卖票卖周边吗？ 然后我找到了另一页当时的宣传单，发现这个东蛋见面会居然是免费的。。

日本武道馆的那个票价也是奇低，预售就5050日元，当日购买就5500日元。

而武道馆的最终票房如何呢，有图有证据。

内场没敢开票，一张没有卖。

看台大量都是空的，最下层全空，其它部分空。

也因为这样做了个空中舞台。杂志宣传这是武道馆历史上第一个空中舞台，说的。。也没错。。

人家正常卖内场和最下层看台的，空中舞台那可全是视线盲区好吧。。

作为一个也算了解些演出成本预算的人，看到这里我的心已经在滴血了。保守估计2004年的海外巡演+东蛋见面会+武道馆演出，亏了300万等值人民币及以上（光与东蛋等体量国内场地的每日场租就差不多这个价格）。。

*这两场神奇的见面会+演唱会，日本语wiki未收录见面会，但是演唱会嘛，大约因为刻了DVD卖，所以收录了（笑）。

爆亏的2004年结束了。我们来看2005年。

2005年，又开始做海外巡演了。 7月14日，台湾 17 Young party 5500日元

7月16日，韩国 Dream theater SH CLUB 5500日元

而且又又又在组织日本仔雅去远征了，只是这次不仅旅行社不限制人头数了，均消也贵了好多，直接123000~233000日元了，几乎是上次的2倍。

其实也能理解，毕竟上个年度那几个大型项目亏损太多了，只能靠日本仔雅们的消费把亏空补回来。

*这场神奇的海外巡演，日本语wiki也是未收录（笑）。

2005年基本没啥大型活动了，也就有个事务所的大拼盘活动 2005 peace & smile，不过这个跟他本人的开支关系不大。

但是开始办一些意味不明的应援单曲和活动。如下。

2005.10.10，婚纱应援会。要求必须穿婚纱或其它婚礼正装参加活动，现场亲手赠送玫瑰花和新娘认定证书（翻译过来真的就叫这个名字）。

*这些神奇的见面会，日本语wiki也是未收录（笑）。

2006年上半年就一些日常的营业活动，不过确实在高密度发单曲，半年时间出了3张，还全都拍了很精致的MV，主要日程如下。

2006年下半年被公司送去美国游学了，让他学习英语和海外文化，虽说就几个月的留学，但是连发新cd都暂停了差不多一年。

石原氏自述是一点不懂英语的情况被送到洛杉矶去的，所以这段时间是他开始学习英语的契机。

游学的费用自不必说，肯定是公司承担的。 而且他可不是年龄很小的练习生。他每1个月不活动，这1个月他这条线对于事务所就是颗粒无收的，而且staff和他本人又不能不付工资。。所以实际上他断档学习的这几个月，对于公司是巨亏的。

这部分资讯由于他当时人在海外，有的事情日语区记录不详细，英语区的记录倒是很详细，我就直接搬运了： 2月17日，Miyavi应霹雳舞演员Mr. Freeze的邀请，在拉斯维加斯米高梅大酒店的Tabu Ultra Lounge与当地的DJ和打击乐手一起举办了他在美国的第一场个人演唱会。5月25日，在由Yoshiki在洛杉矶Wiltern剧院举办的JRock Revolution演唱会上，官方宣布Miyavi将成为s.k.i.n乐队的成员。6月29日，该乐队在加州长滩的动漫博览会上举行了他们的首演，也是他们唯一的一场演唱会。

也就是年初他游学回来，2007年5月25日加入由YOSHIKI(X JAPAN)、Gackt、SUGIZO(LUNA SEA)组成的S.K.I.N乐队。

2007年6月，开始喊起NEO VISUALIZM的口号，并邀请多位杰出艺人(Beat Boxer、Bass、Drums、Turntable、Tap、Painter)组成歌舞伎男子z。

然后2007年下半年开始疯狂做海外巡演。日程和场地直接看截图就好，全是live house。

2007年12月25日，举办2007下剋上演唱会，场地渋谷C.C.Leomonホール（其实还是2003年涩谷公会堂，2000多人的场地）。也就是回国后他在日本的动员力和2003年几乎毫无变化。。

*这段开始，日语百科几乎具体日程全删，就留了他去海外巡演的大致日程，场地全部不表，英语百科部分有所保留。

2008年又是继续疯狂做巡演，这是英语区扒下来的日程表，场地都不大，百来人的居多。

这里我再补充一下，做这种海外小场地巡演，通常做法是要拉本地赞助，也就是找本地主办进行支持，他们精算之后觉得能回本，才会愿意承担所有开支后给出秀费到艺人，否则的话如果没有演出动员能力，就只能自理场地租金、设备租赁/搬运和人员差旅，做一场亏几万很正常。按他的巡演密度和去的场地大小看，这轮巡演做出来后能把成本打平就不错。

而关于歌舞伎男子时期的录音室音源完成度和舞台人员配置完成度嘛，我就放一张图。

这是幕前所有团队的合影(上舞台的)，别的幕后支持比如贴身经纪人、调音、灯光、服装、造型，甚至录音时候帮忙的编曲、录音、混音等都不在这张合影里。 养这个团队背后是巨额的开支。

而石原现在弄的一吉他一鼓，据关系者描述，他的合计团队（幕前幕后）加一起只有7±3个这个配置，具体成员是：本人，鼓，DJ，调音，灯光，吉他技师，���纪人，根据场地情况加减3。

再补充一个我了解的常识。哪怕是live house级别的海外巡演，一般的日本乐队团队都是10人以上，比他至少多贝斯手、化妆、服装（服装这个岗经常还有2个人），有时候还自带翻译。

亏损嘛，自然是靠本土的仔雅承担（FC年费，周边，演唱会门票等），甚至可能是靠当时日本演出已经越开越大的PSC事务所家其它乐队的盈利承担。 有个小细节，大家可以去蓝鸟上看下，the GazettE的几个人全员都没和MIYAVI互粉哦。此团当时是PSC商业最成功的团。细思极恐哦。

后面，我再加几个时间线。主要是他婚育和官宣婚育的时间。

具体为什么是这个时间，我专栏另一篇关于他是否是奉子成婚的文章有具体考证，这里不表了。

结合他的演出日程，把时间线混进去看，你就可以更加体会日本粉丝和事务所的工作人员都是什么心情了。

石原氏婚育和官宣时间线

*只要石原爱理是足月的不是早产的，melody的受孕期理论上是2008.09-10这个时间段

2009.03.14 雅-miyavi-和Melody领证结婚

2009.04.05 雅-miyavi-于日比谷野外大音乐堂的LIVE演出，宣告加入PS COMPANY十年毕业。

2009.04.8 雅-miyavi-成立自己的公司J-glam inc.。

2009.04.9 雅-miyavi-于MySpace公开成立公司与结婚事实，并宣布孩子将于夏天出生。

2009.07.29 大女儿石原爱理出生

所以关于为什么他一结婚，日本本土粉丝都不是腰斩级别的跑路，而是膝斩级别的跑路，各位看官就自己思考吧。

肌肉室友的勾引-3（勾引直男）

与小莱翻云覆雨这一天后我早上收拾收拾回到了家。一开门便见到刚刚起床只穿着一条三角裤衩的张力在客厅端着一杯水走动，紧身的��角裤衩把他那根晨勃硬挺的大阴茎箍得轮廓分明。甚至能清楚分辨腰间那硕大龟头得形状。陪衬在两旁的鹅蛋大睾丸撑起三角薄布更是让我看了血脉喷张。张力见我彻夜不归，早上8点多才回家，第一句话就开始打趣我：“不会是昨晚跟哪个小妞儿出去水乳交融了吧？”

“我要是有那本事就好了，不是跟你说了昨晚只是在朋友家过夜了嘛”，我敷衍回到。

“哦，是吗？那我怎么闻出来一股满身的精液味儿？”

我听罢立刻脸颊温热起来，抬起手臂往衣袖这闻闻，那闻闻，却没有闻到明显的味道。

“哈哈哈，逗你玩儿的，心虚了吧？紧张什么，就算你出去找妞儿了又怎样，下次介绍哥们儿一起玩不好吗？哈哈哈”

“卧槽，张力你这傻逼！成天就想着女人，你内裤里那根屌都快硬得包不住了”我玩笑式地回答，调侃道，不理会他言语中的嘲弄。

张力听罢却并不羞涩，左手往下握住那根内裤里缠腰的巨屌，上下抖动了一番，看的我下面立马就变硬了。还好我早拿书包抱在身前挡着，不然就被他发现了。

“就是硬得快包不住了才需要人把他搞软啊，你说是不是，兄弟。哈哈哈~”，张力还是第一次在我面前说出那么淫荡的话，还做出抖鸡巴这么骚的动作。我只能装作不屑，立马回到卧室收拾起来。心中却按捺不住的想他那紧身三角裤里装的大鸡巴是什么样子的，好想亲眼看一看，摸一摸，舔一舔。

没过多久就到了快要跨年的日子，期间我有抓紧考研，也常跟腾骏和小莱聊骚。有时还和小莱在健身房洗浴室翻云覆雨。这天爸妈打电话来告诉我说有几个远处的朋友过来串门，希望我也能在，毕竟也马上要过年了。我虽然不是很情愿，毕竟得回去一两周左右就是为了陪一陪不认识的叔叔阿姨，但是为了配合爸妈，我还是做动车回了家。一想到有一两周时间没有办法见到小莱雄伟的胴体我就心里膈应，在动车上就开始问小莱要他的鸡巴照动图看看。小莱极其配合地拍了一个live图片，动图里他解开西裤拉链，掏出巨茎套动着。我的难过心情瞬间得到了缓解。

回到重庆老家后没过两天，爸妈的好多个朋友便到了。他们有的年过半百，有的跟爸妈年岁差不多，都在四十多岁。还有一对三十多岁的夫妇。几乎身边所有人第一次见到这对夫妇都是一副艳羡表情，男的身材高大，肌肉轮廓明显，面容英俊。女的身材苗条，前凸后翘，容貌堪比刘亦菲。但奇怪的是虽然我感觉两人感情不错，但是并不像通常夫妻那样亲昵。甚至连牵手也是偶尔才有的事。

爸妈的朋友们都到了之后他们就打算一起到南川区的金佛山上去游玩一周。计划安排好了之后所以人都在出发前一天的晚上吃了一顿火锅。

“吴哥，好久不见了。我横竖都得敬你一杯。要不是当初你的指点，我现在在建筑这一行还真的不一定过得好！”，那对英俊夫妇中的男人起身给我爸敬酒。

“哎呀，兄弟之间不摆了！陈年旧事还要提，直接喝！”，我爸很给面子地跟那个男人对饮起来。

后来听我妈说，这个男人叫赵汉，以前是跟我爸在同一个建筑公司里的同事。当时赵汉人又年轻，又是个直肠子。在职场里跟擅长勾心斗角的小人老是发生争执，但总是处于下风。如果不是当时身为项目经理的我爸眼睛雪亮，帮忙拉了一把，可能现在早就给人穿小鞋给弄到其他小公司去了。

第二天我们全家和老爸的旧友们都一起坐索道上了金佛山，并住在山上同一个酒店。第一天的旅行特别欢快，大家一起玩滑雪。我不会滑雪，但是可能是因为老爸的缘故，赵汉叔特别照顾我这个22岁的小弟。一直教我怎么滑，过程中我能感觉到他特别壮实，甚至能在我摔倒的时候把我整个人扛起来而不费吹灰之力。

不巧的是赵汉老婆在滑雪的时候不幸扭到脚，我们看着那脚踝肿胀，都担心起来。爸妈立马安排了山下医院里的朋友，准备要将他老婆接下去紧急处理。本来赵汉是想要跟着下去陪着自己老婆的，但是他老婆却死活不让，说是好不容易跟我爸聚一聚一定不要被这种小事毁掉。于是很不情愿地，赵汉留了下来继续跟我们游玩。也是这里我看出来他老婆好像并没有那么地爱着赵汉，至少没有像赵汉爱她那样爱着对方。

到了晚上，我们原本预定好了每个人的房间，按房间入住。但是我的房间因为是顶楼，又遇到当晚大雪。水管部分被冻住导致自来水没法供应。楼下的房间又被住满，我本打算到爸妈房间打地铺一晚上，赵汉听说了之后却告诉我爸妈说可以直接让我去他房间住，毕竟他们本来订的就是双床房。我虽然觉得不错，毕竟不用打地铺，但也好奇为什么一对夫妻要订双床房而不是大床房。同时我也很郁闷不能一个人住意味着今晚没法跟小莱视频裸聊。但我也管不了那么多了，毕竟这总比打地铺强。再加上赵汉那么英俊壮硕，说不定还能瞥到他的裸体呢嘿嘿。

到了赵汉房间后我跟他随便聊了聊关于他和我爸的事，熟络了一下之后便开始看起电视来。但是电视上也没有什么好看的节目，时间还早，才9点。我也睡不着，看到他带了电脑，我便问“赵叔，能借你电脑玩一下不？我觉得有点无聊，看会儿网上的电影”

“没问题，你随便用”。赵汉爽快地说道，于是便去上厕所了。

我打开他的电脑本来是准备搜索电影来着，但是手贱的我好奇他平时都上网看什么，于是打开了历史记录。不看不知道，一看吓一跳，这叔竟然屡次翻墙进porn hub看黄片而且还不用无痕。难道他老婆就这么不在乎自己老公平时这种爱好以至于他肆无忌惮地在网上看吗？

“你小子怎么乱翻人历史记录啊！有没有点道德”，赵汉无声息地出现在洗手间门口说道。

我被吓了一跳，立马转头说了声抱歉然后打趣到“嘿嘿，不好意思嘛，赵叔。谁知道你看片儿都不用无痕的啊~”。

“怎么，你想看吗？你小子~”，他竟然说罢走到我旁边，拿起鼠标点了起来。他打开一个文件里里面全是暴露的淫秽视频。

“随便看吧，别跟你爸说我给你看过啊”。

“卧槽，谢赵叔赏赐！”我说罢点开了一个视频，淫秽的叫床声充斥耳朵。里面男人鸡巴很大，直往女人骚逼里抽插。我自然对女人不感兴趣，直盯着那个男人的大鸡巴看。

“你还没有搞过女人吧，东青”。赵汉叔突然问道。

我一时语塞，但无奈说道“哈哈~~是的”。但我立马大起胆子来反问道：“赵叔你有这么性感漂亮的老婆还要看片啊，不应该很得到肉体上的满足才对嘛？”

“小屁孩儿你懂个屁，如果你的女人做爱很拘束你是不会得到多大满足的。”

“怎么说，我很好奇，你教教我呗。哈哈~”，我再次大胆开口道。

坐在床上的赵叔凑过身来一本正经说道：“我老婆有点性冷淡，她不太喜欢做爱。就算要做的时候也只是像完成任务一样，每次都是同一个姿势。她也不怎么叫床，我感觉也就比我自己手撸好那么一点”。

难怪我之前感觉他老婆没那么爱他，其实是性冷淡，不太喜欢亲近。

“那确实好难受啊~”，我不知道该怎么回答，只能表示同情。

“我也不想跟她分开，我总归还是爱她的。但是性生活方面就是得不���满足啊。你以后可别找个看着漂亮但是做着难受的啊。”

“谢谢教导，叔，我一定谨记在心！”，我一本正经回答道。

“哎，被别人的手撸是一件很爽的事，她连撸管都不愿意给我做啊，我真tm憋屈”。

“要不我帮你呗，叔”，我心跳加速且小心翼翼地问到。

“你？行啊，你小子那么懂事。那就撸呗，撸个管能咋地，多吸取经验以后还能教你老婆怎么帮你撸。”

我听到这话瞬间兴奋起来，看着对面穿着白色短袖，皮带扎黑色长裤，尽显肌肉线条的美男子开始面红耳赤。“那好啊，那要不现在？”，我轻揉，微微颤抖地问着。

“那就现在呗，你帮我脱一下裤子吧要不。”

“行啊，那要不我们去浴室吧，我帮你弄完之后顺便可以洗个澡，这样就不会弄脏床了。”，我狡猾地说道，实际是想待会儿找个由头帮他搓身子。

“你小子还想得挺周到~”，赵叔微笑地盯着我说道，说罢便起身朝浴室走去。我也跟了过去。

到了浴室我拖过来一把小塑料板凳，让赵汉坐在上面。然后穿着短袖和短裤的我跪在他面前，掰开他的双腿。我往前跪了几步，跪在他两腿中间被他粗壮的绷紧黑色西裤的双腿轻轻夹住。我的面前一拳的位置便是他那饱满，阔大的胸肌。抬头向上望去便是他薄薄地一层络腮胡，还有他那粗狂的呼吸声。他缓缓低下头望着抬头的我，他的嘴唇几乎就快碰到我的鼻子。我们突然变得那么亲近貌似让赵汉有些拘谨，他双手无所适从地搭在他的腿上，同时轻微咳嗽了一声，把头抬了起来。而他越是拘谨却越让我兴奋。

我心跳加速，低下头望着那两腿伸开裆下硕大的突起。我开始伸手慢慢地去解那棕褐色地皮带。啪地一声我将皮带抽走丢在一旁，随机便去解开裤子上的那颗扣子。正当我打算拉开拉链的时候我耍了个小聪明。

“拉链好滑，我好像拉不开~”。

“是这样啊，要我帮忙吗？”，赵汉温柔地说到。

“没事，我应该可以”，浴室我立马埋下头去用嘴巴蹭他的裆部，打算用牙齿咬住拉链再拉开。他看到我的动作，感受到我的脸在私处的磨蹭，敏感地身子往后退去。我立马包住他的公狗腰，迅速咬到拉链开始使劲往下拉去。不拉还好，这一拉下去，裤子里正在膨胀的大鸡巴和肉球像是刚被揭开了花被的花苞一样一下迸发绽放出来用力地弹到了我的脸上和嘴上。浓密的黑色阴毛也噗地一下塞进我的嘴和鼻孔。

这时我才反应过来原来这大叔一直都只穿一条裤子不穿内裤的啊！经过一天的游玩，那私处浓密而独特的男人气味充斥我的鼻腔。让我欲罢不能的同时鸡巴也硬得把短裤撑了起来。看着眼前这根慢慢膨胀勃起的，起码6厘米粗的大阴茎。膨胀的肉茎逐渐撑开包皮，将包皮褪去，慢慢展露出含苞待放的粉色龟头。那龟头如此地粉嫩，和这个全身淡黄色皮肤的粗狂肌肉男形成了巨大反差。巨根正被蜿蜒曲折的深蓝色血管缠绕着，整根肉棒在我面前被我的呼吸挑逗着，时不时抽动一下。不一会儿，大鸡巴便犹如擎天巨柱一般直直挺立起来抵立在白色T恤上，让衣衫刹时显露出腹肌的轮廓。这跟鸡巴是如此的长，龟头快要抵到下胸的位置。我头再往下贪婪地扫去，私处被浓密的阴毛包裹，两颗鹅蛋像是坐落在黑色柔软巢穴中一般。如此尤物竟然被一个女人视若无睹，我真是欲言又止。

我正准备褪去全部的裤子，赵叔这时轻轻闷哼了一声并说道“卧槽，好涨啊，有点受不了。好像操逼”。我心想，你都落到我手里了，今天死活不能放过你，还想操逼呢，门儿都没有。等着操肛吧。

随即我一把脱下他的长裤，粗壮厚实的大腿暴露出来。然后我抓着他的脚踝开始把裤子从脚上脱下来，这个举动让他失去了些许平衡，两只手从腿上挪开搭到了我的肩上。身体的晃动带动了那根金箍棒，肉棒跟着摇晃起来让我欲罢不能，加快了手速。我把脱下来的裤子扔到一边。将深蓝色的长袜留在脚上。白色的T恤遮住了还没见过的饱满胸肌，只留得原本罪私密的根部完全地暴露出来。

“要开始撸吗，我的好侄子？叔叔快要涨爆了”。赵汉喘着粗气说道。

“好的叔叔，这就来”，我立马回应道。

我双手齐上，右手攥着龟头，左手握着粗根，赵叔开始“额啊~”地叫了起来。巨根如此地粗大我的手掌甚至不能完全合拢。我左手带动根皮套动起来，右手本打算转动着摩擦龟头，可是没有润滑剂的加持下却紧密贴合龟头的皮肤很难滑动。于是这个转动动作让整根鸡巴都微微扭转起来。

“丝~~啊~~”，赵汉叫起来，大腿肌肉微微颤抖。

“抱歉叔，我给你上点润滑剂先”。

“好，润滑剂在旅行箱。。。”，他正准备告诉我上哪里取润滑剂，我立马一口含住了那颗粉嫩肉果。随即立马用舌头胡乱用力缠绕起来。一个甚至从来没有被别人的手撸过的直男哪里扛得住这种淫荡的口交技巧，“啊！”，大叫一声的赵汉极其敏感地立马下意识后退。随后便从塑料小凳下掉了下去，一屁股坐在浴室的瓷砖地板上。迫不得已，我的嘴和他的屌断开了连接。我不管三七二十一，立马仍开那个小凳子。面前半躺着那个肌肉猛男，屁股坐在地上，双手撑着地面，双脚弯曲打开仍然把那根肉棒展露在我面前。他似乎是不可思议地盯着我，欲言又止。我立马扑上去，双手用力按在他的肌肉大腿上，一头栽下去，开始用力吮吸起那根火热巨棒。“额啊~卧槽！”，他双腿用力颤抖起来，却退无可退。

我的舌头舔在他的马眼上，传来一股淡咸淡哭地味道，必然是他的前列腺液了。尝到这种欲仙欲死地滋味后他不再抗拒，一手撑着地面，另一只手开始抱着我的头往下按去。我感受到他的喜爱和配合，也不再按着双腿，转而顺势一手撸着嘴巴含不到地睾丸和根部，另一手向上伸到衣服里摸到大胸和乳头开始挑拨起乳头来。

我使劲用力吮吸那根巨棒却迟迟得不到汁液，心里躁动起来。我放开那根鸡巴，跪在他双腿之间，脱掉上衣，褪去短裤和内裤，露出我硬挺的鸡巴。他就这么盯着我喘着粗气。随即我双手用力撕开他的白色上衣，将整个肌肉猛男的胴体展露在我眼前。硬挺的乳头树立在两片厚实的胸肌上。他一只手扶着那根大鸡巴，扶持的动作使得乳沟深邃而可口。

“怎么，你还想操我不成~”，他平声问着，并继续喘粗气。

“怎么，不行吗？不行的话那我也不撸了，不口了。你自己解决吧，叔~”，我轻佻地说道。

“卧槽，乖侄儿，别啊！你想做什么嘛~”

“你别管我想做什么，你别拦着我不让我做，我就继续让你爽怎么样，我的猛男叔叔！”

随后赵汉大张开双腿，整个人躺平在地上，张开双手。“来吧，随你处置！”

我二话不说，整个人爬到他健硕的裸体上，开始疯狂和他接吻，用舌头探索他口中所有秘密，吮吸着他的口水。他果真一点也不拒绝，用肥壮的舌头回应着我。我用下体摩擦着他的巨根。随后用屁股对着粗棒，慢慢的插了进去。“嗯~啊~”，我们俩都停下接吻，同时呻吟起来。才插入到一般，虽然疼痛，我却并不像停下，誓要拿下整根阳物。终于，不一会儿，我的肛门被两颗大肉球拦住去路，浓密毛发抚摸着肛门的敏感粘膜。我趴在他身上，我看着他，他看着我。他满脸通红，嘴里轻微念着“我操”。他双手抱着如同青蛙一样趴在他上半身的我，屁股含着他的大鸡巴。随后他微微动起下半身开始抽插。

“我操，好鸡巴紧啊！比他妈女人的阴道还要紧，我操！”，他一边慢慢弯腰���动，一边爆着粗口。

“紧就操我，把我操松啊！额啊！”，我淫叫着，然后开始配合着抽插。

就这么抽插了一会儿之后，他坐起身子，弯起双膝，抱着我的屁股。我也上下窜动开始大幅度抽插起来。啪啪声大作，不一会儿我就被他操射，精液射到了他的腹肌上。我筋疲力尽，整个人瘫软紧贴趴在他的胸上，头依偎在他的脖子旁，仔细聆听着他的急促呼吸声。他用双手抬着我的屁股上下继续抽动，我被那能够抬动半个身子我的神力而迷得神魂颠倒。我双手抱住这个猛男，整个人被他当作飞机杯尽情玩弄，同时不停发出淫叫。

终于，在十来分钟的持续抽插过后他停下了动作，双腿抽搐式的收紧。我感到一股股滚烫热流射往我的直肠。我数着那一股股热流，一共9股，每一股都如同大海奔流，冲击着我的肠壁。啪啪声停止，整个房间瞬间安静下来，只有我和他的急促呼吸交错着。

“怎么样，喜欢我帮你撸吗？叔叔”，我淫荡地问着。

他并没有回答，而是一把抓住怀里的我开始激吻起来，他不停往我嘴里送口水。瞬间一股股粘稠口水充斥了我的口腔。“吞下去！”，他命令着。我看着他的眼睛乖乖地一口口咽了下去。

“以后再帮叔叔撸，听到没有~”，他把我搂在怀里，温柔地说道。

“嗯~”，我同样温柔地回应到，同时肛门还夹着那根肉棍。

Recently, I've gotten into Chen Li's (陈粒）music. Her debut album, 如也, is a work of beauty, and she has an ethereal voice mixed with down to earth production. 《历历万象》 exemplifies that, with its thoughtful lyrics on life and its search for meaning.

歌词/Lyrics:

她住在七月的洪流上 --洪流（hong2liu2): a powerful current, a flood 天台倾倒理想一万丈 --万丈(wan4zhang4): ten thousand fathoms (lit.), bottomless 她午睡在北风仓皇途经的芦苇荡 --仓皇(cang1huang2): in a panic, flurried --途径(tu2jing1): to pass by, by way of --芦苇(lu2wei3): reed 她梦中的草原白茫茫 --白茫茫(bai2mang2mang2): a vast expanse of white 列车搭上悲欢去辗转 --辗转(zhan3zhuan3): to toss and turn, to indirectly, to wander 她遍尝了每个异乡限时赠送的糖 --限时(xian4shi2): limited time --赠送(zeng4song4): to present as a gift

如果我站在朝阳上 能否脱去昨日的惆怅 --朝阳（chao2yang2)/(zhao1yang2): to be exposed to the sun/morning sun --惆怅(chou2chang4): melancholy, depression 单薄语言能否传达我所有的牵挂 --单薄（dan1bo2): frail, weak --牵挂 (qian1gua4): to be worried about, to be concerned about 若有天我不复勇往 能否坚持走完这一场 踏遍万水千山总有一地故乡 --万水千山(wan4shui3qian1shan1): thousands of waters and mountains (lit), a long and difficult road

城市慷慨亮整夜光 --慷慨（kai1kang3): fervent, generous 如同少年不惧岁月长 她想要的不多只是和别人的不一样 烛光倒影为我添茶 相逢太短不等茶水凉 --相逢（xiang1feng2): to meet by chance, to come across 你扔下的习惯还顽强活在我身上 --顽强 (wan2qiang2): tenacious, hard to defeat

如果我站朝阳上 能否脱去昨日的惆怅 单薄语言能否传达我所有的牵挂 若有天我不复勇往 能否坚持走完这一场 踏遍万水千山总有一地故乡

她走在马蹄的余声中 --马蹄（ma3ti1): horseshoe 夕阳燃烧离别多少场 她向陌生人们解说陌生人的风光 等她归来坐下对我讲 故人旧时容颜未沧桑 我们仍旧想要当初想要的不一样

翻译/Translation:

She lives on July's flood; the rooftops topple ideals into the depths. She takes a nap on a reed washed away, with the north wind passing in a panic. The grasslands in her dreams are all in white; on the train, sadness and joy goes out to wander. She once tried every limited edition candy, given from foreign lands.

If I stand on the sunrise, is it possible to throw off yesterday's depression? Could frail words transmit all of my worries? If one day I don't courageously resume going forward, could I persist in this phase? Stepping through a long and winding road, there's always a home.

The city is generous with all their lights at night, as a child is not afraid of the long years. She doesn't want much; nothing like what other people do-- inversed candle light adds more tea for me. The meeting is too short to wait for a lot of tea; the habits you've dropped are hard to beat--they live on my body.

If I stand on the sunrise, is it possible to throw off yesterday's depression? Could frail words transmit all of my worries? If one day I don't courageously resume going forward, could I persist in this phase? Stepping through a long and winding road, there's always a home.

She walks on a horseshoe with extra sounds; sunset ignites, leaves several scenes behind. She explains to strangers the stranger's landscape, waiting for her to return, sit, and speak to me. In the olden days, the complexions of old friends didn't see many changes; yet what we wanted then is not like what we wanted now.

中文歌词/Chinese Lyrics

translated by me

喂喂、拉脱维亚 (你一个人真的好吗？）

喂喂、爱沙尼亚 （你在干什么！？）

在他找到我之前我度过的时光

我不知道我是否还记得

空荡荡的宫殿 那是地球

那可怕的地下室 那是地球

就像一个地牢 那是地球，好吧……

但我仍然是立陶宛！

终有一天我会逃离

我不在乎付出什么代价

有些东西值得抛弃

而我仍然是立陶宛……

啊啊 一笔绘出的一个空虚世界

不知我该身在何处

我想念波罗的海三国……

（你让我唱这首歌，你到底想从我这里得到什么！？）

“我只是来拜访王子的，我们的关系还不错。"

"好吧，如果你也同意他需要出去的话……”

看看他的仆人，那是地球

彩色玻璃窗，那是地球

世界从来就不是为我而造的 不是吗？

但我仍然是立陶宛！

（如果波兰没事，我也会没事的）

有时我想知道我的世界会是什么样子

如果我总是一个人

我渴望独立，但也许……

无论如何 我是立陶宛！

我不太喜欢我的其他邻居

我忍不住嫉妒他们

我被迫等待更好的日子

宇宙一定一直在考验我……

（让我好好活啊，该死的！）

为了克服过去的悲剧

你需要有一个更好的现在

我真的没有那种特权

但至少有人在帮助我一点

我的波兰！

喂喂、拉脱维亚 （请严肃一点-）

喂喂、爱沙尼亚 （你怎么很少和我们在一起？）

我不得不怀疑……

爱沙除了自己还认识谁吗？

我国家的国花 Rūta（芸香）

也许我应该把它带到波兰？

他是我最好的朋友

我只希望他能好起来

他有点爱发牢骚，但也没那么糟糕

无论如何，我是立陶宛

（我希望他现在能陪我到最后…）

日复一日，事情从未改变

岁月最终模糊了

我只是被当作傀儡对待

但我想我辜负了我的名字

在我的梦里，我终于感到自由了

所以生活很苦乐参半

但我一直在等着见到切斯瓦夫

我终于可以在他身边微笑了

English Lyrics

written by @/lightworknoreaction (original)

Hey hey Aleks, are you really better off alone..?

Hey hey Maksim, what are you up to now!?

The times I spent before he found me,

I don't know if I still remember them. 

The empty palace, there's the earth

That awful basement, there's the earth

It's like a dungeon, that's the earth, alright..

But still, I'm Lithuania. 

I'll escape some day

I don't care what it takes

There's some things worth leaving behind

And still, I'm Lithuania.. 

Ah, an empty world

Portrayed in only a few strokes

I don't really know where I'm meant to be

I miss the Baltic Sea..

("You asked me to sing this, so what the hell do you want from me!?") 

"I'm only here to visit the prince, we're on good enough terms.

"Right, if even you agree he needs to go outside.." 

See his servants, there's the earth

Stained glass windows, there's the earth

This world was never made for me, was it?

But still, I'm Lithuania.

("If Poland's fine, I'll be alright too.") 

Sometimes I wonder how my world would look

If I was always alone

I crave independence, but maybe..

Anyway, I'm Lithuania 

I'm not very fond of my other neighbors

I can't help but be jealous of them

I'm forced to wait for better days

The universe must always be testing me..

("Just let me live, damnit!") 

To get over past tragedies

You need to have a better present

I don't really have that privilege

But at least someone's helping me a bit

Hey, Czesław! 

Hey hey Aleks, please be a bit more serious-

Hey hey Maksim, how come you're rarely with us? 

I have to wonder..

Does Lat know anyone but himself? 

My nation's herb, the Rūta

Maybe I should bring them to Poland? 

The thing is, he's my best friend

I just hope he can get better

He's kinda whiny, but it's not that bad

Anyway, I'm Lithuania

("I hope he'll stay with me until the end now..") 

Day by day, things never change

The years blur together eventually

I'm just treated like a puppet

But I guess I live up to my name 

In my dreams, I finally feel free

So life's pretty bittersweet

But I'm always waiting to see Czesław

I can finally smile around him

Today, we give our lives to a God who loves us more than anyone else. Jesus said to him: I am the resurrection and the life. Those who believe in me will live, even if they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this? (John 11: 25-26)

01/09 Bible Verses

Every tongue should openly confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father (Philippians 2: 11).

01/ 09 Golden Words

1. In the toughest moments of life, we often forget the power of praise and gratitude. True praise is to remain steadfast in trusting God even when life is hard and things are still unclear!

2. When I feel like I can’t go any further, I push myself to keep going. My success is based on persistence, not luck (American entrepreneur Estée Lauder).

🌺01/09活出美好🌺

今天，我們把自己的生命交給了一個比任何人都更愛我們的 神。耶穌對他說：復活在我，生命也在我。信我的人雖然死了，也必復活，凡活著信我的人必永遠不死。你信這話麼？(約翰福音11: 25-26)

01/09 圣经金句：And every tongue should openly confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father. (Philippians 2:11)   

萬口都要公開承認耶穌基督為主，使榮耀歸與父神 (腓立比書2: 11)。 

01/ 09 金玉良言

1. 在人生最艱難的時刻，我們常常忘記讚美和感激的力量。真正的讚美是即使生活艱難及事情還不清楚時，仍能堅定不移地信靠 神！

2. 當我覺得無法再前進時，會逼自己繼續走下去。我的成功是基於堅持，而非運氣 (美國企業家 Estée Lauder)。

这是在一个中国SuperbatFans在微博组织的“大家一起为Superbat创造Fanarts以庆祝新年”活动中产生的Fancomic。活动形式是每一个参与活动的成员留下自己想看的Superbat剧情，随机交换给其他成员来绘画它。因此，这篇漫画的剧情并不是我想出来的，是活动成员想出来的剧情内容。我只是绘画和写出它。 This is the Fancomic that emerged from the "Let's Create Fanarts for Superbat to Celebrate the New Year" event organized by SuperbatFans in Weibo-China. The format of the activity is for each participating member to leave their desired Superbat story ideas and randomly exchange it with other members to draw. Therefore, the plot of this comic is not something I came up with, but rather something that the event members came up with. I'm just the one who draws and writes it.

The text content is：

the 1st page (AI translate)：

这或许是战斗的尾声。不，这必然是战斗的尾声，我赢了。我的耳内在蜂鸣，全世界都在剧震。周遭是那些挂满照片的白墙吗? 他们在试图给我讲故事。可笑......我所确定的一件事是︰这具躯体已经到达了它的极限。它在失血，当然；严重的耳鸣与幻觉，也许...

This may be the end of the battle. No, this must be the end of the battle, I won. My ears are buzzing inside, and the whole world is shaking. Are there those white walls full of photos hanging around? They are trying to tell me a story. Funny... One thing I am certain of is that this body has reached its limit. It's losing blood, of course; Severe tinnitus and hallucinations, perhaps...

the 2nd page (AI translate)：

这些照片…看来这老掉牙的床头故事也知道。这是我的城市，我才是我的故事的主角。…等等，这里原先就挂着正义联盟的相片吗？还是那些嗡鸣著的幻觉？如果联盟能听见此刻，如果有人还在听着我的心跳声…

These photos... it seems that this old bedside story is also known: This is my city, and I am the protagonist of my story... Wait, was there a photo of the Justice League hanging here before? Or those buzzing hallucinations? If the alliance can hear this moment, if someone is still listening to my heartbeat...

the 3rd page (AI translate)：

如果他们在这里，他会建议我求援，老生常谈的事情。我甚至能清楚地看见红披风穿过这阴暗建筑的天花板，打通一线曙光。然后悬浮在那里，任「希望」猎猎被吹动。如果他们在这里，他会建议我求援，老生常谈的事情。我甚至能清楚地看见红披风穿过这阴暗建筑的天花板，打通一线曙光。然后悬浮在那里，任「希望」猎猎被吹动，然后说道：“活下去，布鲁斯。

If they were here, he would suggest that I seek help, a clich é d matter. I can even clearly see the red cloak passing through the ceiling of this gloomy building, opening up a ray of dawn. Then hovering there, letting the "hope" hunt be blown away. If they were here, he would suggest that I seek help, a clich é d matter. I can even clearly see the red cloak passing through the ceiling of this gloomy building, opening up a ray of dawn. Then he hovered there, letting "Hope" hunt be swayed, and said, "Live, Bruce."

the 4th page (AI translate)：

现在我相当确信这是幻觉了。他们不在这里。我是我的城市的主角。没有时间哀唁。我的感官像字面意义上的被人打了几十拳。抑止这些蜂鸣，停下容易叫人软弱的幻听。这里并非犯罪巷。这里的一切都结束了。这里只有虚假的都市传说。

Now I am quite certain that this is an illusion. They are not here. I am the protagonist of my city. There is no time for condolences. My senses were literally punched dozens of times by someone. Suppressing these buzzing sounds and stopping can easily cause weak hallucinations. This is not a crime alley. Everything here is over. There are only false urban legends here.

the 5th page (AI translate)：

下面便是湍急的水流，你能听到的，布鲁斯•韦恩。离开这里。离开这里…我会查明这一切。我将揪出他们每一个人。每一个。像除去这座城市里其他害虫一样。

Below is the turbulent water flow, you can hear it, Bruce Wayne. Get out of here. Get out of here... I will investigate everything. I will uncover each and every one of them. Every one.

Like removing other pests in this city.

Jing Qi & the sable: Why this little guy has more relevance than just being poisonous and cute

I was talking about Jing Qi & the sable with @geneticcatalyst on this post here and I had some thoughts (and feelings) about them

When Jing Qi is lamenting about human troubles, he says:

这人，要操心的事情太多，譬如父母兄弟，亲朋好友, 妻儿老小, 每日应酬也应酬不过来, 总有千千万万的诱惑叫人陷进去

People have too many things to worry about, like parents and brothers, friends and family, wife, children, elders, and juniors, and social niceties upon social niceties to take care of every day. There are always thousands of temptations for people to fall to.

All the things that Jing Qi lists here are things he has struggled with since the beginning of the story. He has filial obligations to his father, must upkeep his friendship with Helian Yi while keeping him at a distance, and has a lot of pressure on him to take a wife and have sons. He has no brothers who can pass down the position of yixing wang to their children in his place. He must keep up respect and facades for Helian Pei, Helian Zhao, and Great General Feng, as they are his elders. He has recently taken a junior, Liang Jiuxiao, under his wing, and is now, in part, responsible for him.

And the temptations? Napping. I say this unironically.

When Jing Qi wakes up in the 7th life, he wants nothing more than to fool around until his death, just bid his time until his karmic ties can be resolved. It would be very easy to do, considering the favorability that (not) "keeping in his own lane" gets him in the 7th life. Helian Pei dotes on Jing Qi even more than his own sons. He's his 半个儿子, as Helian Zhao puts it. (But also this is the same scene when he's calling himself Jing Qi's da-ge and saying greasy stuff like 北渊，你跟大哥说说 [Beiyuan, tell your da-ge]. Barf.)

But... "keeping in his own lane" also means that, without his interference, the nation will be in danger of falling into the greedy and violent hands of Helian Yi's brothers. Even if Jing Qi lazed around for a decade, he would inevitably have to deal with the much more unpleasant fallout.

It's kind of a no-free-lunch thing. Jing Qi has not earned his right to laze around if he ignores his duties to his nation, and will suffer consequences for it. So, Jing Qi resists temptations, upholds daily social niceties, appeases his elders, and tries to keep Helian Yi as the crown prince. And, in the end, he is rewarded: in making sure Helian Yi ascends to the throne, he now no longer has to worry about negative fallout, and can go with Wuxi to Nanjiang, where he will live a peaceful and happy life.

He slowly divests himself of all these worries by the end of the novel. He still has responsibilities, but suffers less for them. The first to go is his obligation to take a wife and have an heir. This is also, in a way, a direct reward of Jing Qi fulfilling his duties to his nation. But... Jing Qi has always been fond of children, and wanted some of his own. (Now I want to make myself sad. Jiang Xue feelings time.) And he gets a child, eventually. One that calls him Diedie 🥺 Luta is a package deal with his peaceful life in Nanjiang, and is also a "long-term payoff" for his character.

These are Jing Qi's mortal, human troubles and affairs.

Then Jing Qi says:

可畜生不一样，每日操心的不过是活着和吃喝。你养了它, 它平日里看得见的，认得的，也就你一个人。你有外面大千世界三丈红尘，它却只记得你一个人的恩情……

But animals are different; their only worries every day are living, eating, and drinking. If you raise an animal, they will usually only look at and recognize you. There is this great big world of mortal affairs outside, and yet it will remember only your kindness...

(Also, on a tangent, Jing Qi uses 三丈红尘 to refer to the mortal world. Literally means "three zhang of red dust." The "red dust" of the mortal world comes from the poem 《西都赋》 and is talking about dust kicked up from daily life of mortals, from traveling, working, etc. And three zhang because most life is contained within three zhang (like 60 feet) of the ground. Unless you're special and live in the sky, I don't know.)

I imagine Jing Qi is speaking from experience, having been an animal in several of his previous lives. In this context, he is also specifically talking about the sable, as he just asked Ji Xiang if he thinks the sable will still recognize him.

When Jing Qi first meets the sable, the sable's position is very much like his own: holed up in the capital, kept there due to obligation to the nation of Da Qing (poor sable is also a hostage like Wuxi). He immediately terrorizes it, which is very different from Jing Qi promising to burn a fox paper money just after wearing its fur, remembering himself how it felt to be skinned alive in his 5th life. But it doesn't seem that he's too aware of the fact that he is terrorizing it... he claims that all he's done is "love it" and doesn't know why it's afraid of him.

Regardless, the sable is used to being scolded by Wuxi, who is strict with it. So it doesn't bite Jing Qi again, and is very well behaved. When Jing Qi takes it back to his estate, the sabel is far less behaved, and likes to make messes and stress out the household staff... much like Jing Qi himself. But, really, just as Jing Qi said: the sable, though it still loves and misses Wuxi, is now being fed, raised, and cared for by Jing Qi. It has no other concerns, and gets to play and laze about freely.

There's a moment when the sable kills the spy that was placed among Jing Qi's household staff, and Jing Qi is surprised, wondering, "You're really this viscious?" I think there's a case to be made that the sable, much like Jing Qi, can be ruthless, though outwardly does not seem like it. Jing Qi describes the sable as 没良心的 (conscienceless). 良心 (conscience) is also the word that Jing Qi asks Liang Jiuxiao if he knows how to write, and claims that a dog ate his own 良心. Jing Qi and the sable are just 没良心的besties over here.

While Jing Qi spends most of his time in the "mortal world" of Da Qing with too many worries, he eventually comes to be like the sable in other ways: concerned only about living, eating, and drinking, concerned only about one person's kindness. This is also a point in favor of Nanjiang kind of being like the underworld? Jing Qi dies in Da Qing, then lives a peaceful afterlife in Nanjiang, where he is no longer concerned with the great, big 三丈红尘 outside. (+15 Buddhist theme points to Qi Ye.)

Jing Qi fulfills his duties to his nation, dies as a ghost of Da Qing, lets go of his mortal affairs, and is rewarded for it. He gets his peaceful life in Nanjiang, and his worries of humans.

TL;DR, things the sable and post-canon Jing Qi have in common:

Love Wuxi

Loved by Wuxi

Hand fed by Wuxi

Scolded by Wuxi (eat your snake meat, Beiyuan)

No stress about family, friends, elders, juniors

Being ancient (accoording to Liang Jiuxiao)

Disciplined by Wuxi (Luta is traumatized)

没良心的

Get to be carefree and playful and laze about at the end of the novel

Terrorizing servants

Lingshan Hermit: What Is Your True Protection?

For a long time to come, many of you will live in less than ideal circumstances. You will face many challenges, such as being unable to get coffee, separation from loved ones, illness, or having no one to rely on. Life is not easy for anyone, but this is not a reason to harm others. On the contrary, at times like these, you should maintain kindness and clarity, helping yourself and others. Harming others might bring temporary gains, but it will cost you your entire future.

Northern Song Dynasty Neo-Confucian philosopher Cheng Yi said: "Death from starvation is a small matter, but the loss of moral integrity is a great one." Today, most people would dismiss such a notion. However, if the six realms of existence are real, then in certain circumstances, this viewpoint is correct. If you start crossing certain lines, begin doing evil, and start tasting its sweetness, you won't be able to stop. You'll progress from minor evils to major ones, doing many terrible things until destruction. But destruction is not the end; it's just the beginning of an even more terrible nightmare.

Sometimes when I look at certain people, I think it would actually be better for them if their karma caused them to die earlier – departing while their souls are still clean, before they begin doing evil, would lead to a better next life. But they have unfavorable karma that gives them sufficient ability and lifespan to harm others. If you have good karma and merit, they will prevent such situations from arising. But ultimately, what stops you will always be your right view.

In the future, many people will shed their disguises and bare their fangs, because that is their true nature. The right views they speak of are merely lip service, never truly taken to heart. But those whose right views are deeply rooted in their hearts will never be like this. Even when facing various adversities, they will not make deals with the devil. They would rather choose death than choose evil. In fact, when you choose not to do evil, all doors of fortune will begin to open for you. Therefore, this is your greatest protection.

灵山居士：什么才是你真正的保障

在之后很长的一段时间里，你们很多人都会生活在不如意之中。你会面临很多问题，诸如喝不到咖啡、离散、疾病或是无人可依。每个人的生活都不易，但这不是你伤害别人的理由，恰恰相反，在这样的时候你更应该保持善良和清醒，帮助自己和他人，伤害他人或许会让你一时得利，但却会让你失去所有的未来。北宋理学家程颐说：饿死事小、失节事大。在今天大多数人会对这样的观念不屑一顾。但是假如六道是真实的存在，那么在某些时候，这样的观点就是正确的。假如你开始越过某些线、开始作恶，并且开始尝到作恶的甜头，你就会无法止住，你会从小恶到大恶，你会做很多可怕的事，直至毁灭。但毁灭并非终点，只是更可怕噩梦的开始。有时候我看一些人，如果他们的业力让他们早点死去，其实对他们会更好，在开始作恶之前、在灵魂尚且干净的时候离开，会有一个更好的来世。但是他们有很不好的业，这让他们有足够的能力和寿命伤害他人，如果你有好的业力和功德，它们会阻止你出现这样的情况。但最终能阻止你的永远是你的正见。在未来，有很多人会褪下伪装，露出獠牙，因为那才是他们真正的样子，平时他们挂在嘴上的正见只是挂在嘴上而已，从未真正入过心，而那些正见根植于心的人则永远不会这样。即使他们面临各种逆境，也不会选择和魔鬼交易。他们宁愿选择死去也不选择作恶。事实上，当你选择了不作恶，所有的幸运之门都会开始向你敞开。所以，这才是你最大的保障。

《 Part I 》玉芳姐回來看我 | Happy together again

She was top sellwoman in my old shop. I took care of her life at the time, We were both divorced due to domestic violence, she was homeless and I let her live in my studio, she very good in cry, 😅 you know I am who fears to see women's tears fallen. Alas! 😌 probably In my previous life, I was a man. 😜 Although she was 5 years older than me, I took good care of her, not because I needed her to help me make money only, but because of "empathy", we all fell and were hurt in marriage. She knows how to sell goods, which is her ability and professional strength, and I was lucky to have such an employee; anyway, we have experienced the ups and downs of life together; she lives in Taipei now, and she has a good life and is very successful. Every time she returns to Kaohsiung to be with her children, she will definitely remember to visit me; if someone asks me: What achievements have I made in life? Now I will probably answer: "Zero", but I have many "true" the best friends live all over the world, we've cried and laughed and given the best of ourselves, we've gone through life's dark times together, and when I blow the horn, they'll all come back as family. 🐕‍🦺 Lan~*

她是我老店裡的頂級女售貨員。 我照顧她的生活，我們倆人都因家暴而離婚，當時她無家可歸，而我就讓她住在我的工作室裡，她很愛哭 :D ，你知道我是個相當懼怕女人在我跟前哭的女人，唉!大概我的前世是一個男人。雖然她比我年長5歲但我很照顧她，不僅僅是因為我需要她幫我賺錢，而是基於"同理心"，我們都曾在婚姻裡跌倒和受創。她很懂得銷售商品，這是她的能力和職業強項，我很幸運曾經有這樣的員工；總之我們共同經歷人生中的起伏；她現在住在台北，生活過得很好，很成功。每一次她回高雄與她的孩子相聚時，一定都會記得來看我；若有人問我:我的人生有甚麼成就?現在的我很可能會回答:「零」，不過我卻有許多『真正的』好朋友居住在世界各地，我們曾經一起哭過、笑過並且盡所能付出自己最好的部分，一起攜手度過人生的黑暗，只要我吹起號角，他們都會像家人一樣回來團聚。Lan~*

很久很久以前，人類以地球為基底，將其改造成了天體級別巨構建築，於裏生活了數萬年。隨後某天，所有人類都因不明原因消失了，留下了大量遺物與機人們。 過了不知多久後，自然母親重新奪回掌控權，但同時巨構像是有了意識一樣，與自然母親不斷爭奪著，又過了不少年，兩者形成了共生的狀態。 巨構不斷活動著，時而修復，時而自毀，在這艱苦的環境出現了新的類人智慧生命，名為"流浪者"，與巨構中的古老機人為亦敵亦友的關係。流浪者們透過人類留下的遺跡，了解了人類與巨構的過去，和在巨構中生存的方法。 (ENG. translation below)

long, long ago, human beings used the earth as the base and transformed it into a celestial-level megastructure, and lived there for tens of thousands of years. Then one day, all humans disappeared for unknown reasons, leaving behind a large number of relics and androids. After an unknown amount of time, Mother Nature regained control, but at the same time, the megastructure seemed to have become conscious, constantly competing with Mother Nature. After many years, the two formed a symbiotic state. The megastructure is constantly moving, sometimes repairing and sometimes self-destructing. In this harsh environment, a new humanoid intelligent life appears, called "Wanderer", which has a relationship with the ancient androids in the structure as both enemies and friends. Through the relics left by humans, the wanderers learned about the past of humans and this structure, and how to survive in the megastructure.

Katy Perry发布全新单曲《LIFETIMES》

今天，Katy Perry发布了她的全新单曲《LIFETIMES》。这是一首充满光辉和活力的歌曲，反映了爱情的永恒。该曲目收录在她即将于9月20日发布的新专辑《143》中。

为配合这首歌的夏日氛围，由Stillz（曾与Bad Bunny、Rosalía合作）执导的官方MV在美丽的西班牙伊比沙岛拍摄。该视频已在MTV Live、MTVU、MTV Biggest Pop以及时代广场的派拉蒙广告牌上首播。

“《LIFETIMES》是一首关于永恒之爱的歌曲，Katy Perry表示。“它讲述的是找到你一生中那个深刻而满足的爱。灵魂伴侣不一定是伴侣的形式——它可以以各种不同的方式出现，比如一个孩子、最好的朋友、宠物。对我来说，这个人就是我的女儿——我每晚都问她，‘你会在每一个轮回中找到我吗？’她回答‘会’，让我感到被找到了。你们会一次又一次地找到彼此，直到永远。” 

专辑《143》是这位多才多艺的音乐人回归本色的一次性感而无畏的尝试。专辑充满了让粉丝们喜爱的那种充满庆祝意味和挑衅性的流行颂歌，充满了情感与活力。

9月20日星期五，Katy Perry将在巴西的“摇滚里约”音乐节上作领衔嘉宾演出，这是她自2015年以来首次在里约热内卢的这个音乐节上表演。她还将在2024年9月28日星期六于澳大利亚墨尔本举行的丰田澳式橄榄球大联盟总决赛的Telstra赛前娱乐活动中担任主角。
