Note

You go on about how intelligent/emotional pigeons are, but you treat them like objects and that bothers me. You separate bonded pairs of these intelligent, loving animals so frequently as if they don't have any feelings. And then you wonder why these birds afterward do not just take a new mate instantly. You are continually traumatizing these animals and causing them to shut down because they probably begin to realize any new bond they make will only be severed.

I do that because they are.

There is a huge difference between treating a living being like an object and acknowledging that the feelings of a non-human will not often perfectly align with those of a human.

Different species are different.

They have different physical, emotional, and social needs, even if there are a lot of close parallels.

And there are certainly a lot of parallels between humans and pigeons;

They are self aware cooperative social learners.

They form societies.

Those societies have a culture that varies regionally and they have a base line of values...

But their society, culture, and values are different from a human’s because pigeons are not human.

Nothing specializes in preying on humans. We generalize in preying on everything, as a species, as a whole.

We change our environment to suit our needs as much as we are able, and we are more able with every generation.

While things, objectively, can happen to any human at any time, out of nowhere..

On the whole, we generally don’t expect them to.

As such, our monogamous relationships are, ideally, “Until death do us part” meaning “Until we both die of old age, preferably around the same time.”

To the extent that closely bonded humans are emotionally devastated by the loss of that life partner.

To many of us, a life partner is also counted as lost if they engage in sexual infidelity, and if this happens, we are just as devastated (if not even more devastated) as we could have been if that partner had died.

Pigeons are a prey species that evolved in a cheetah-and-thompson’s-gazelle-style arms race with the Peregrine Falcon.

Their monogamous relationships version of “Until Death do us part” can be better translated; “Until one or the other of us gets eaten on a foraging trip.”

And sexual fidelity does not enter into the equation for a pigeon unless their partner is treading or being tread by some one else at the exact moment that bird wants to tread or be tread by their partner.

A cock who wants sex will seek out his wife first, but if she is not interested, he will go asking all the hens away from their nest until one agrees and crouches for him.

If his mate changes her mind and wants him to tread her, she will seek him out and crouch to present herself.

He will tread his wife, and after they do the cute little “I just had sex” dance that’s reserved for mated pairs (side flings get neither this nor courtship. Just sex and separate.) she goes off to do what ever she wanted to do.

If the cock is satisfied, he goes with his wife.

If he still needs or wants more sex, he can tread as many hens as he wants. His wife will not care, because she has had her turn.

If a hen wants sex, she will seek out her husband, generally, but if he’s busy or away, she’ll present for who ever she likes.

Her husband does not care who filled the egg. He only cares that she lays it in his nest and he gets to help set and raise it.

Pigeons divorce partners they consider to be inadequate. Cocks who fail to fill eggs, hens who refuse to set eggs, partners of either sex that don’t spend enough time reaffirming their bond with their spouses...

Unrequited relationships and love triangles are also relationships that pigeons find themselves in.

A pair is considered to have divorced if one partner or the other moves in and spends their nights in the nest of another partner, not for mating with some one else.

Some times, divorces are mutual, and both birds move on to other mates.

Some times, they are not. And the partner left will pine and keep making overtures to reconcile with the partner that left them.

But when a mate just disappears and doesn’t come back, they are assumed by the remaining partner to have been eaten.

If they were closely bonded, the remaining partner may wait a week or so at most, in case they were lost, in hopes the missing bird will make their way back and reunite.

If, after a week, the remaining bird is keeping to them self and not socializing, something is physically wrong, and anthropomorphizing it as “depressed” can get the bird killed.

The veterinary term ‘depression’ describes an animal that is physically ill, be that from a pathogen attacking it to ingesting or absorbing a toxin or simple vitamin or mineral deficiency.

For example;

A week after I became aware that breeding pigeons could become salt deficient and gave the flock a salt and trace mineral brick, birds that had shown no interest in bonding or courting for months are suddenly flirting with everything that moves.

They were not too traumatized to before.

They had a mineral deficiency.

They did not court because they did not feel good.

With the addition of their supplement brick, lo and behold, they all feel better and are courting again.

I have an entire flock to take care of, and I am responsible for the wellbeing of every individual I bring into the world.

To avoid overcrowding, I have a cap of 10 breeding pair.

Because that is the number of adults and their offspring under 6 months old that my loft can comfortably house.

When ever a new breeding bird leaves quarantine or a keeper reaches 6 months, a bird of the same sex has to be retired and made available to avoid overcrowding and the stress and disease that come with it.

Who retires when is not arbitrary.

There are very strict criteria.

1. Physical health.

Regardless of whether or not I have a replacement ready, a bird who may be hurt by the physical process of reproduction or the strain of rearing young, or who may pass on genes that may be harmful to potential offspring is retired on the spot and adopted out with a strict nonbreeding agreement.

Gus is a sweet boy,

But this happens to him every molt, and we have since found out that it runs in both sides of his family, proving it to be genetic and cumulative.

As cute as he and Leela were together, I cannot let him breed.

Because I would have to be a monster to be willing to knowingly pass that painful condition on to another generation.

He has a forever family familiar with his condition to whom he is going on Monday.

2. Undesirable structure

I do not mean anything as stupid as “This animal isn’t pretty enough.”

Cody is not only gorgeous, but an excellent father who has served our program very well.

But his muffs are big enough to make walking uncomfortable, so while I like the rest of his traits, that’s one I want to breed away from.

Now that I have a brother and Sister of his with short muffs that do not cause them discomfort,

Farthing

and suki

will continue contributions to the project

and Cody is available.

3. Antisocial behavior that disrupts or disturbs their flock mates.

Indica

And Pookie

Are the poster children for flock disruption.

They are a gay and bi mated pair of cocks, who are literally turned on by prying other treading pairs off of each other.

If they see another pair treading, Indica will grab the hen by the scruff, Pookie will grab the cock by his, and they will pull in opposite directions, prying the treading pair apart, and marching them in opposite directions towards the wall.

Indica and Pookie will then throw the bird they have at the wall and then run back to meet each other in the center of the floor, smooch-feed each other back and forth, and take turns treading each other.

On top of this, they defend 15 of the 36 total nest boxes in my loft, refusing to pick a specific one or let any other pair settle in a box to lay.

You may or may not have noticed that when I advertised the available birds on Thursday, I made a point of saying that I would prefer these two be adopted together because they are bonded and would be happier that way.

A prospective new family is coming to meet them on Monday.

But they are SUCH a violent disruption to their flock mates that if only one had a home lined up, it would be unkind to the rest of the flock to keep them both on the insistence that they go together.

4. Shitty parenting history

Parents who tend to ignore eggs or peeps, leaving all the work of setting or feeding to their partner.

This is a personality trait, and such a parent puts dangerous strain on their partner and stress on their peeps.

Their partner will usually divorce them for that, so adopting the bad parent out isn’t “Splitting up a bonded pair”.

Their former spouse is usually looking for or has found some one else with out any interference on my part.

5. Too many offspring/grandchildren

This is to avoid any more inbreeding than necessary.

Betty is one of the best studs here.

He is an outstanding father who sits tight on his eggs, pumps his peeps full, and educates them carefully though weaning.

MANY are his children and grand children, and he has a strong preference for birds with faces like his.

He has already bred with his niece to produce Sherry, and I would like to avoid having him breed to any more of his kin.

Once his peep with Liang is weaned, he will be adopted.

Liang is very skittish, and she liked him right off the bat, so I delayed his retirement to give her more time to feel secure with the flock.

But with her egg hatching, she is allowing herself to be casually flirt with more.

Wukong still likes her. So do Cherub and Ginger, so she’ll have her pick when Betty goes to his new home.

6. Temperament

The Therapy Bird Project is working towards developing a performance breed with a temperament conducive to Therapy work.

All else being equal; The birds are all physically sound with no known detrimental genes, no embellishments too exaggerated, not overly aggressive to flock mates, great parents... Then the bird least interested in human company gets retired.

The ground work of physical and mental base soundness has to be laid first and foremost for that excellent temperament I’m aiming for to shine in their handler’s lives for as long as possible.

You probably have not noticed that when bonded pairs retire at the same time, I make a thing of them being bonded in hopes that they will be adopted together.

Dodger and Alex retired close enough to each other that both are still here, and I would prefer they be adopted together.

But if one of them gets a perfect home lined up where I think that individual will be happy, I will not refuse them that good home for the sake of not splitting up a pair.

You care about the idea of that a LOT more than the pigeons themselves do.

girlbosses, male wives, and other lesbian genders

a post about jing wei qing shang. but also mostly about another unrelated movie. spoiler-free.

for a lot of people, mulan 1998 is their definitive “ohhh i’m a chinese woman dressing as a man for contrived reasons and i get absolutely nooo erotic pleasure from this” movie.

however, because i am very special and unique, for me it’s the love eterne 1963. it’s the shaw brothers adaptation of butterfly lovers, the classic chinese folktale. here’s how i’d summarize the movie:

zhu yingtai, an aspiring scholar, convinces her parents to let her dress as a man to attend school. on the way there, she meets liang shanbo, another prospective student, and they become sworn brothers. they study together for three years, growing closer, until zhu yingtai returns home. liang shangbo accompanies her for the eighteen-li journey home while she hints she’s a woman, but he remains oblivious. by the time he learns her gender, her parents have engaged her to another man. he dies of grief, and while she mourns at his grave, it splits open, and she buries herself inside with him. two scraps of her torn outfit turn into butterflies and fly away.

it’s worth noting here that like. this movie is made in the huangmei opera style. so both zhu yingtai and liang shanbo are played by women (betty loh ti and ivy ling po respectively). because of this, basically every level of the film is preoccupied with gender: if we take zhu yingtai’s male performance as credible (as the characters in the movie do) the leads bond through male homoeroticism; the text is ultimately about a heterosexual romance; it is acted out by two women, in a performance that is difficult to mistake as heterosexual or even feminine; and the dialogue of the movie can’t help but remark on this.

basically it asks: what if lesbians could be gay both ways? wouldn’t that be based?

like opera was traditionally made by single gender casts, so roles tended to be genderless, in that the gender of the actor doesn’t determine the gender of the role they play. roles are instead typed into four categories: dan (fem), sheng (masc), chou (clown), and jing (painted face). it’s a sick gender quadinary. each of these roles has further subtypes that are represented through stylized patterns of singing, makeup, costuming, movement etc.

so in butterfly lovers, betty loh ti plays a dan, and ivy ling po plays a sheng. but because of the textual cross-gender play, you end up with a woman playing a woman playing a man who falls in love with a woman playing a man.

i’m going to make a brief digression here into talking about like.. acting theory. in the european tradition, you see it evolving out of early concerns (from stanislavski, brecht) about the fourth wall, and its permeability or lack thereof. in chinese opera tradition, the fourth wall didn’t ever really exist. and mei lanfang, the legendary fanchuan performer, claimed that his success wasn’t just due to his appearance, but rather, his mastery of some nonliteral feminine subjectivity.

If I kept my male feelings, even just a trace, it will betray my true self; then how can I compete for the audience’s affection for feminine beauty and guile?

i’m not going to argue that there’s like, an essence to being a woman because i’m not a fucking idiot. but there’s something to be said for the idea that the gendered interplay between the audience’s perception of the actor, the actor’s perception of themself, and the character they play is a massive part of the appeal of fanchuan performance.

this is echoed by david hwang’s m. butterfly, in which gallimard memorably says, “i’m a man who loved a woman created by a man. everything else—simply falls short.” btw sorry for having the type of brain disease where i constantly reference chinese crossdressing related media. you already know why i have it.

anyway. parallel to that (but far less morally detestably), jin jiang argues “young male impersonators in yue opera embody women’s ideal men—elegant, graceful, capable, caring, gentle, and loyal.” so, trivially, 1) the eroticism embodied by fanchuan performers is distinctly different from their “straight” counterparts, and perhaps less trivially 2) it’s way better.

back to the love eterne for a bit. one of the many reasons it’s lodged itself into my psyche is because there’s something more interesting at play than just all that. normally in opera, to compensate for any perceived residual femininity in the sheng, the dan camps it up even further. so this is how zhu yingtai first appears, this bratty femme pastiche of womanhood. yet within a couple minutes she’s dressed as a man, which she’ll stay as for the bulk of the movie. they do however make compromises with the makeup--more gently lifted eyebrows than the steep angles of the sheng opera beat, and an improbably masculine smoky eye.

that’s right. they performed girlbossification on her.

i don’t want to suggest that she’s straightforwardly feminine. i could write an entire other thing on her relationship to masculinity. instead i want to highlight the erotic interplay not just between the “girl” and the “boss” but also between her and her counterpart: the male wife.

liang shanbo is ostensibly straightforwardly male, but his relationship with zhu yingtai isn’t gay in the ahaha what if i was into my bro way-- it’s a what if i was into my bro and i was his wife way.

that’s right. they performed force fem on a cis woman-man. like when zhu yingtai tells him he can’t watch over her as she recovers from an illness because “boys and girls can’t sleep together,” liang shanbo asks “are you implying that I’m a girl?”

there’s a lot of shit like this that builds up over the course of the movie. it all culminates in that final 18 mile journey. along the way, zhu yingtai compares them to a pair of mandarin ducks, one male & one female. liang shanbo sputters “i am a man inside out-- you shouldn’t--” before graciously conceding, “you may compare me to a woman.”

this is like. a simple punchline. but it’s incredible. it’s true! liang shanbo isn’t a man inside out in that he’s a man and only a man, but rather that he’s a man seen inside first, built for desiring, by a woman & for a woman. as a perpetual object, he becomes a more believable woman than zhu yingtai. and at least in his view, it seems more likely that he could be a woman than her. but beyond that, his permissive tone reads as a kind of wanting in itself--recast, if she wants, “for you, i’ll be a woman.”

obviously this is a classic lesbian mood. who among us has not seen “no gender only lesbian” posts. and speaking of classic lesbians, you might ask. did you just tiresomely reinvent butches and femmes but with a more annoying name? yes. no. okay. well.

first, like butch/femme dynamics have both historical specificity and a classed character such that it’s not rlly that appropriate to impose them on the love eterne. and i guess more importantly, i wanna talk about stuff that isn’t real.

we fight all day about people who confuse performance with performativity, (i use we lightly here. for instance, i go outside every day so i don’t care about discourse) but what if we actually wanted to talk about the former for once? something specifically, whether we choose or are forced into it, that we pretend to be?

anyway. what the hell does all that have to do with jing wei qing shang. i’m going to start by first making the argument that there’s no such thing as a naturally occurring girlboss. i think, honestly, she’s a product of capitalism (“boss” should be the tipoff here) but because both of these stories are set in ambiguously historical china, i’m going to say, instead that she’s a product of uhhh primitive accumulation.

semantics so that i can be canon compliant with marxism aside, if girlbosses are made not born, can you choose to be a girlboss? sheryl sandberg says yes. i don’t disagree, i guess, but i will say: stop glamorizing it! humans only become girlbosses when they’re greatly distressed.

you become a girlboss when you have no other choice not to be one. when your wants are too great to be a woman, when the things you want are not things that women should want-- whether that’s something that really no one should want, like being a ceo, or whether that’s just something like loving a woman (or, as it is quite often, both) -- you have to become something else.

another important part of being a girlboss is that other people are not. your excesses mean that not only do you lose something in the process, but your bosshood comes at the expense of others. the girlboss necessitates a girlworker, or so to speak.

now we’re getting to jwqs. i’m assuming that you haven’t read jwqs, because most people haven’t. that was me until like four days ago. in broad strokes, the novel is about a woman, qiyan agula, who was raised as a prince, and her quest for revenge against the kingdom who slaughtered her people. of course, this involves marrying one of the princesses of that kingdom. it’s all very exciting (lesbian).

what’s striking about jwqs is that both of them seem to fit the girlboss paradigm, in vaguely similar ways. qi yan (agula’s assumed name) seems to follow the lineage of zhu yingtai, who pretends to be a man to achieve her goals. she’s forced to give up much in the process, and also sacrifices a, uh, lot of innocent people. similarly, nangong jingnu, the princess, is inherently a girlboss because royalty sucks. but also, qi yan girlbossifies her over the course of their relationship.

but i wouldn’t say jwqs is girlboss4girlboss. there’s something a little more complicated happening. qi yan isn’t zhu yingtai in that she’s a dan pretending to be a sheng. it seems more like that she was a sheng all along. it’s something that the women of the novel return to often: qi yan seems to be better than a man.

for instance, nangong sunu, jingnu’s older sister, reflects on this.

Nangong Sunu had seen many foolishly loving women who sacrificed everything for the sake of their husbands, but there were rarely any men who would do the same for them.

(...)

Thinking it through, Nangong Sunu felt that Qi Yan was truly becoming more interesting. She intended to observe discreetly for a while, to verify if such a man truly existed in this world. (ch 221)

and i forgot to write down the citation for this, but nangong jingnu also seems to argue that not only is qi yan prettier than a man, but she also seems to be prettier than a woman. (it’s the bit where she’s watching qi yan sleep. help me out here.)

moreover, the way qi yan relates to nangong jingnu is suggestive. jingnu brings out the elements of wanting to be a woman in her. it’s jingnu’s body that makes her wonder what she would look like if she was more feminine. it’s jingnu’s happiness that she resents, wishing that her people could have that as well. it’s her desire for jingnu that makes her a woman.

(another important distinction i suppose--while one person can’t be both a butch and a femme, because the girlboss and the male wife are things we pretend to be until we embody them / them us -- there’s greater slippage between the two.)

anyway, the girlboss/male wife dynamic is reversed wrt who’s actually dressing as a different gender. that suggests an inversion in the implications we see from the love eterne, if we are to take the love eterne as the paradigmatic girlboss text. which i do, for no reason in particular.

so then, is qi yan pretending to be a man? under the opera framework, we’re forced to say no. she’s not pretending to be a man any more so than liang shanbo (as acted by ivy ling po) was. but that, of course, feels incorrect, just looking at the text. is she, then, pretending to be a sheng? i’d strongly say no. the things that others see in her, they authentically see; and she does authentically feel the same things as liang shanbo wrt femininity.

so it has to be the opera framework that jwqs is subverting then. if qi yan kept some trace of her once-womanhood, if qi yan reveals her true self, and yet she still can compete for the audience’s affection-- jwqs’s inversion of the opera framework seems to argue instead that it’s that true self that allows you to compete. it’s being masc that lets you be a desirable woman; it’s being feminine that lets you be a desirable man.

there’s an increased gender ambivalence to jwqs, which make sense, i guess, seeing as it’s not meant to be a het story the way that the love eterne was. for instance, nangong jingnu crossdresses to go out in public, and qi yan remarks that jingnu’s disguise fooled her on their first meeting. when qi yan and jingnu go out in public, both disguised as men, they’re repeatedly perceived as a gay male couple. there’s freedom in that: they could be gay women only privately, they could be straight officially, but they could be anonymously gay publicly.

so it’s through the gay male pretense that they can be gay women; it’s through the qi yan pretense that agula can love women; it’s the qi yan caring husband persona that coaxes jingnu in caring for qi yan in return-- jwqs, more precisely, argues that you can’t be a woman if you’re going to love them, and even less so if you’re going to be loved by one.

this is perhaps well-trodden ground for anyone who has read wittig & certainly many people who haven’t. but it’s the layer of pretense that for me complicates these two narratives.

i think it’s a relatable feeling: wanting something anticipating getting something, or wanting something for yourself anticipating knowing that you already had it. that is, desire in itself being constitutive of that reality.

or less abstractly, knowing that you’d want to be a lesbian if you could, knowing that you’d want not to be a woman if you could-- anticipating any realization of either.

the dramatic excesses & wants of the girlboss, i think, are a decent literary stand in for being a lesbian.

i wanna note here that this is rlly just based on my experience being a transmisogyny exempt nonbinary diaspora lesbian lol. it’s fun & cathartic to overread this history & place myself in the accidental implications.

i don’t think most of the things i say are literally true. and i don’t want to overstep & say any of this can be generalized. please lmk if something here doesn’t read right! ok kisses bye

Soul-Pop Songstress Rozzi Takes Us to the East Coast with 10 BTS Photos [TOUR DIARY]

At only 19 years old, soul-pop powerhouse Rozzi was discovered by the one and only Adam Levine, who gave her the honor of being the first artist signed to his record label, 222 Records. Having opened for established names like Maroon 5 and Kelly Clarkson, Rozzi has fierce vocals and undeniable charisma that she channels into her crushingly honest lyricism now as an independent artist.

Shortly after releasing her 2018 debut album, Bad Together, Rozzi joined funk masters Scary Pockets on a string of east coast dates. And of course, we’re here to bring you behind the scenes with 10 never-before-seen photos from Rozzi’s time on the road.

First show in Philadelphia. I made Mario take 187363 pics of me in front of this door like a real diva.

Scary Pockets hanging out with Emily King

My view from the van. The best thing about touring this way is looking out the window and seeing everything. The west coast looks so different from the east, the Southwest is so different from the Midwest - it’s like 50 countries in one.

Also my view from the van

Me backstage at the Brooklyn Bowl. I’m always a little nervous before a show but it’s the worst when I know people in the audience. This was right after I took a long walk in the neighborhood to CALM DOWN.

Post show we got drinks & chicken wings

Bassist in the snow!

Scary Pockets cuties. Rett Madison and Mario Jose are both amazing solo artists - if you don’t, now you know!!

In my Sandy Liang sweatshirt ALWAYS

Holding Lake’s leg in Brooklyn after the show. She’s my best friend from high school and one of the reasons I was so nervous to play, which is dumb ‘cause she couldn’t be more supportive <3

Catch Rozzi on tour with Betty Who!

For more on Rozzi, revisit our 2018 interview with the soul-pop songstress!

To watch my film, get tickets here (link also in IG bio): https://www.eventbrite.com/e/dfff-2020-ahma-alan-tickets-127261258851 My film will be playing alongside some great shorts, some of which were an official selection of the Taipei Film Festival. Funny story, earlier this year I tried to submit my short film to Taipei Film Festival but found out I couldn’t because on paper, I’m just American. HAHA! (TFF only accepts short films from Taiwanese nationals). It’s all good, I think it’s really important to bring up and support local filmmakers, which I think is the intention behind the rule, and Taiwan has some amazing filmmakers I look forward to watching. An honor to be part of this festival. Hope you can join us! (note: films can only be watching within the U.S.).

Áp lực với Trung Quốc dù đã bỏ mục tiêu tăng trưởng

Không còn nặng nề với mục tiêu GDP nhưng chính quyền Bắc Kinh vẫn có hàng loạt áp lực kinh tế nội tại lẫn bên ngoài.

Năm nay, Quốc hội Trung Quốc không đặt mục tiêu tổng sản phẩm quốc nội (GDP). Mặc dù vậy, ông Ning Jizhe, Phó chủ tịch Ủy ban Cải cách và Phát triển Quốc gia, nói hôm 24/5 rằng, một mức tăng trưởng nhất định vẫn rất quan trọng đối với nền kinh tế và nhằm thực hiện một loạt các mục tiêu phát triển kinh tế và xã hội.

"Ngay cả những yêu cầu về bảo đảm sinh kế, bảo vệ việc làm hoặc xóa đói giảm nghèo, những mục tiêu này đều phải được hỗ trợ bởi tăng trưởng kinh tế", ông Ning nói và cho biết Trung Quốc sẽ duy trì tăng trưởng thông qua nhiều cải cách và mở cửa thị trường rộng hơn ra thế giới.

Năm 2020 cũng không phải là lần đầu tiên Bắc Kinh không đặt mục tiêu tăng trưởng hàng năm. "Đây là lần thứ tư kể từ khi cải cách và mở cửa", ông nói ba lần trước đó là vào các năm 2000, 2001 và 2002.

Ông Ning Jizhe, Phó chủ tịch Ủy ban Cải cách và Phát triển Quốc gia Trung Quốc. Ảnh: EPA-EFE

Thứ sáu tuần trước (22/5), báo cáo của chính phủ Trung Quốc đến Quốc hội đã bỏ qua mục tiêu tăng trưởng cho năm nay. Trước đó, động thái này đã được dự đoán bởi nền kinh tế lớn thứ hai thế giới đang trải qua nhiều thách thức trong việc phục hồi kinh tế sau đại dịch. Chủ tịch Tập Cận Bình cho biết, nếu không có Covid-19, nước này có thể đã đặt mục tiêu tăng trưởng khoảng 6%.

"Suy thoái kinh tế thế giới là không thể tránh khỏi, và vẫn còn nhiều điều bất ổn về mức độ ảnh hưởng của nó đối với chúng ta", ông Tập nói với một phái đoàn từ khu tự trị Nội Mông vào thứ sáu (22/5).

Nhưng ông Tập cũng nói rằng, việc bỏ mục tiêu cứng cũng giúp nước này có cơ hội tạm biệt thói quen cũ là đặt tăng trưởng GDP lên trên tất cả chương trình nghị sự kinh tế khác, để tập trung nhiều hơn vào cách hỗ trợ hạnh phúc cho người dân.

Ông Huang Shouhong, Giám đốc Văn phòng Nghiên cứu Hội đồng Nhà nước, người đứng đầu nhóm soạn thảo bài báo cáo cho Chính phủ trước Quốc hội vào tuần trước, cho biết đã có những tranh luận gay gắt về việc có nên bỏ mục tiêu tăng trưởng hay không.

Cuối cùng, quyết định này được đưa ra nhằm giải phóng chính quyền địa phương khỏi áp lực của một mục tiêu số và khuyến khích họ tập trung vào việc bảo vệ công ăn việc làm, sinh kế và các doanh nghiệp nhỏ. Nhưng ông cũng nói rằng không thể thả rơi tự do cho tăng trưởng vì nó sẽ làm suy yếu việc làm và mức sống cơ bản.

Ông Sun Guojun, một người tham gia khác vào việc soạn thảo báo cáo, cho biết chính phủ trung ương vẫn sẽ chú ý đến tốc độ tăng trưởng kinh tế vì sự chậm lại có thể dẫn đến những vấn đề mới. Trong báo cáo công việc của chính phủ, Trung Quốc vẫn đặt mục tiêu tạo ra 9 triệu việc làm đô thị mới trong năm nay.

Theo Liang Zhonghua, nhà phân tích vĩ mô tại viện nghiên cứu của Zhongtai Securities cho biết, điều đó có thể ám chỉ mục tiêu tốc độ tăng trưởng tiềm năng phải từ 3% đến 4%, với một điểm phần trăm tăng trưởng GDP tạo ra 2,216 triệu việc làm mới trong năm ngoái.

Quý I/2020, kinh tế Trung Quốc đã sụt giảm 6,8% so với cùng kỳ năm ngoái. Phát biểu tại phiên khai mạc kỳ họp quốc hội hôm thứ sáu (22/5), Thủ tướng Trung Quốc Lý Khắc Cường cho biết thay vì đặt mục tiêu GDP như những năm trước, Trung Quốc ưu tiên ổn định việc làm và đảm bảo mức sống sau đại dịch Covid-19.

"Chúng ta đã đạt được những thành tựu chiến lược lớn trong phản ứng với Covid-19. Dịch bệnh hiện vẫn chưa chấm dứt, trong khi các nhiệm vụ chúng ta phải đối mặt trong việc thúc đẩy phát triển là vô cùng lớn", ông Lý nói, thêm rằng chính phủ Trung Quốc phải "nhân đôi nỗ lực để giảm thiểu thiệt hại do virus gây ra".

Ông Lý cũng thông báo thâm hụt tài khóa của Trung Quốc dự kiến vượt hơn 3,6% trong GDP năm nay, với mức thâm hụt 1.000 tỷ nhân dân tệ (140 tỷ USD) so với năm ngoái. Một nghìn tỷ nhân dân tệ trái phiếu chính phủ sẽ được phát hành để kiểm soát Covid-19, Thủ tướng Trung Quốc nói, gọi đây là "những biện pháp phi thường trong thời gian bất thường".

Theo ông, chính quyền các cấp nên "thắt lưng buộc bụng" và tất cả ngân sách dư, chưa sử dụng và chuyển giao sẽ được thu hồi, phân bổ lại để được sử dụng tốt hơn. Trước đó, vào tháng 3/2020, Thủ tướng Lý Khắc Cường đã kêu gọi các quan chức ưu tiên việc làm hơn so với tăng trưởng GDP, nhấn mạnh sự quan tâm của lãnh đạo cấp cao về vấn đề bất ổn xã hội. Ông cho rằng miễn là việc làm ổn định trong năm nay, thì tăng trưởng cao hay thấp hơn một chút không có vấn đề gì.

"Bắc Kinh đang thực hiện một cách tiếp cận thực tế và khiêm tốn hơn bằng cách bỏ qua một mục tiêu tăng trưởng trong năm nay trong bối cảnh có rất nhiều điều bất ổn", Betty Wang, nhà kinh tế của ANZ Research, bình luận.

Việc loại bỏ mục tiêu GDP cũng có thể xem là một chỉ báo rằng nền kinh tế Trung Quốc vẫn còn đối diện nhiều rủi ro trong các tháng tới. Thứ nhất, các nhà dịch tễ học đã cảnh báo về khả năng tái phát dịch vào mùa thu. Điều này có thể buộc các nhà chức trách trong và ngoài Trung Quốc phải có kiềm chế nhất định về các hoạt động kinh tế.

Thứ hai là một sự bất ổn lớn khác vẫn đang gia tăng. Đó là mối quan hệ căng thẳng và xấu đi nhanh chóng với Mỹ khi hai bên đang đối đầu về thương mại, công nghệ và nguồn gốc của Covid-19. Mối nguy hiểm cho Trung Quốc là Mỹ có thể tiến thêm các bước để chèn ép nền kinh tế Trung Quốc, nhằm phản ứng với các vấn đề liên quan đến Đài Loan và Hong Kong gần đây.

"Sự không chắc chắn là quá lớn, đặc biệt là trong cuộc bầu cử ở Mỹ vào cuối năm nay", ông Ding Shuang, một nhà kinh tế tại Standard Chartered nói trong bối cảnh đó thì Trung Quốc sẽ lúng túng nếu họ đặt mục tiêu tăng trưởng và không thể đạt được.

Nếu tình hình xấu hơn nữa, các nhà hoạch định chính sách có thể buộc phải tăng cường kích thích kinh tế, theo ông Larry Hu, chuyên gia kinh tế tại Tập đoàn Macquarie. Như đã nói, Trung Quốc vẫn có các mục tiêu kinh tế khác trong năm nay như tạo ra hơn 9 triệu việc làm đô thị và giữ tỷ lệ thất nghiệp ở thành thị dưới mức 6%. "Chính quyền Trung Quốc không cần phải bảo vệ mục tiêu tăng trưởng GDP nữa", ông Hu nói, "nhưng họ vẫn chịu áp lực".

Forbes - Suasana rumah Tante Betty petang itu masih lengang. Hanya tampak satu sepeda motor milik Randy dan sebuah mobil Kijang terbaru yang baru saja memasuki garasi. Randy dan kakaknya, Susan, berlibur di rumah Tante Betty untuk mengisi liburan kenaikan kelas. Tante Betty sebagai wanita karier sering merasa kesepian karena ia belum bersuami. Ia sangat senang apabila ponakan-ponakannya berkunjung ke rumahnya, apalagi sampai menginap lama seperti yang dilakukan anak dari kakak pertama dan keduanya itu. Susan baru saja pulang dari rumah Nina saat waktu menunjukkan pukul setengah delapan malam. Melihat suasana rumah sedang kosong ia segera masuk kamar. Matanya tampak sembab menandakan ia baru saja menangis. Meskipun jauh-jauh hari Susan sudah merasakan perubahan sikap Ari, namun tetap saja kaget dengan keputusan kekasihnya itu untuk tidak meneruskan hubungan mereka lagi. Apalagi di telepon tadi, Ari yang mengatakan bahwa mereka tidak cocok seperti dibuat-buat saja. Tapi Susan juga bukan gadis yang lemah. Baginya, tidak ada alasan baginya untuk menjadi gadis yang cengeng diusianya yang telah menginjak delapan belas. Pintu kamar Susan tiba-tiba saja terbuka. Kepala Randy muncul dari balik pintu sambil tersenyum. ?Baru datang, Kak??, tanya Randy sambil ngeloyor masuk meski kakaknya sedang berganti pakaian. Randy berjalan acuh tak acuh. ?Iya..?, jawab Susan singkat. Pikirannya masih sumpek dengan kejadian tadi siang. Segera saja direbahkan badannya di kasur setelah mengganti baju perginya dengan daster tipis. ?Kok, lesu gitu.., Kenapa??, Randy yang baru kelas dua SMP itu menghampiri Susan. Ia juga kemudian merebahkan badannya disamping kakaknya tersebut. Susan hanya diam saja seolah tidak mendengar pertanyaan adiknya. Matanya menerawang melihat langit-langit kamar. Randy pun akhirnya memperhatikan sepupunya tersebut. Susan memang benar-benar cantik. Kadang-kadang ia merasa lebih senang kalau Susan bukan saudaranya. Mungkin karena seringkali ia tanpa sadar mengagumi tubuh Susan. Entah mengapa akhir-akhir ini minatnya terhadap wanita begitu meningkat. Ia bahkan suka sekali melihat-lihat pose wanita di majalah kosmopolitan milik kakaknya itu. Biasanya ia jadi terangsang dan onani di kamar mandi. ?Sret..?, Sepersekian detik posisi tangan Susan bergerak memangku kepalanya sendiri dan tanpa ia sadari belahan baju di dadanya menjadi terbuka. Melihat hal demikian Randy jadi sedikit canggung. Ia kebingungan sekaligus menyukai pemandangan itu. Randy agak berdebar-debar ketika ia semakin jelas melihat lekuk buah dada kakaknya yang tampak ranum dan indah. Apalagi tampak tonjolan puting di balik daster tipis itu. Batang kon**lnya terasa sedikit mengeras. Karena dorongan hasratnya, Randy memberanikan diri perlahan-lahan mendekati tubuh Susan. Ia merangkul pinggang kakaknya tersebut. Merasakan sentuhan di tubuhnya, membuat rasa sedih Susan semakin mendalam. Air matanya mulai keluar dan ia segera membalikkan badan membelakangi adiknya. Ia tidak mau menangis di hadapan Randy. Posisi demikian membuat Randy bisa merangkul Susan dengan leluasa dari belakang. ?Kamu cantik deh.., malam ini..?, ucap Randy tanpa sadar. Susan pun hanya diam saja. Yang ia butuhkan saat ini hanyalah ada orang yang menyayanginya. Randy kemudian melingkarkan tangannya ke pinggang Susan. Gadis yang merasa sedang bersedih itu sedikit bergerak lebih mendekatkan badannya ke dalam pelukan Randy. Ia ingin ada orang yang menghiburnya disaat-saat seperti ini. Respon Susan ini membuat Randy berani menggerakan tangannya dengan lembut untuk menyentuh bagian bawah buah dada sepupunya. Susan hanya memejamkan mata saja. Posisi tubuh yang berhimpitan itu membuat pikiran Randy semakin tidak menentu. Apalagi batang kon**lnya yang berhimpitan dengan pantat Susan. Perlahan ia mulai meremas dengan halus buah dada sepupunya tersebut. Susan pun dalam keadaan sedang sedih menjadi merasa sangat tenang karena adiknya seperti mengerti kesedihannya. Ia tahan terhadap seorang sepupu. Ia juga membiarkan telapak tangan Randy membelai-belai buah dadanya yang memang tidak memakai beha. Belaian Randy pada bagian tubuhnya yang sensitif tersebut membuat jantung Susan sedikit berdebar-debar. Tapi ia segera menganggap wajar sentuhan kasih sayang sepupunya tersebut. Randy pun mulai berani menciumi bagian tengkuk leher Susan sambil memasukkan tangannya ke dalam daster Susan. Perasaan Susan menjadi sedikit tidak karuan. Ia mulai menyadari bahwa sentuhan sepupunya bukan lagi sentuhan kasih sayang, tapi di satu sisi ia amat menikmati sentuhan itu. Terutama remasan telapak tangan Randy terhadap puting susunya. Perasaan sedih yang sedang ia alami seperti berganti dengan keinginan untuk terus dibelai. Ia ingin menghentikan Randy, namun sentuhan itu membangkitkan perasaan lain dalam kesedihannya. Sentuhan-sentuhan halus itu membuat bulu tengkuknya berdiri. Buah dadanya pun menjadi agak mengeras oleh karena sentuhan dan remasan lembut tangan Randy. ?Ran, mmh.., udah ah.., aku kegelian?, akhirnya Susan berusaha menyudahi aktivitas itu. ?Ah, aku kan sayang sama kamu?, sahut Randy sambil sedikit ngos-ngosan. Ia masih saja merabai tubuh sepupunya.

?Engh, badanku jadi lemas semua nih?, tanpa sadar Susan berucap sambil setengah merengek. Kemaluannya bagian bawah pun mulai terasa hangat dan lembab. Randy tidak menghiraukan perkataan sepupunya tersebut, ia masih terus meremas-remas payudara Susan. Malah ia mulai memasukkan satu tangannya ke dalam celana dalam sepupunya. Bulu-bulu halus di memek Susan pun terasa di telapak tangan Randy. Iapun menyentuh bibir memek sepupunya itu. Susan menggelinjang. Nafasnya mulai tidak terkontrol. Kesadarannya pun mulai hilang. Sekilas ia hanya menyadari bahwa ia sedang dicumbui oleh sepupunya sendiri. Memeknya sudah mulai berdenyut-denyut. Randy secara lembut namun penuh nafsu mulai merebahkan tubuh Susan. kon**lnya seperti ingin membutuhkan sesuatu. Ditindihnya tubuh sepupunya dengan birahi yang mulai tidak terkontrol. Segera saja ia buka kancing daster sepupunya. Tampak dengan jelas kedua belah buah dada sepupunya yang indah itu dengan putingnya yang telah berdiri tegak. Ia langsung mengulumi puting buah dada sepupunya tersebut. ?Ran.., ngmhhnghh.., udah dong.., sshh?, ucap Susan ketika sekilas kesadarannya datang. Namun Randy sudak asyik dengan aktivitas birahinya. Lidahnya mempermainkan puting susu sepupunya dengan penuh perasaan. Mata Susan terpejam dan tangannya membelai kepala Randy, merasakan kenikmatan jilatan-jilatannya. Randy akhirnya mulai tak sabar, ditariknya turun celana dalam sepupunya tersebut. Susan sudah benat-benar dikuasai nafsu. Ia tidak sadar ketika celana dalamnya terlepas. Randy pun segera memelorotkan celana pendeknya sendiri sampai batang kon**lnya terlihat tegak. Dikangkangkannya kedua kaki Susan dengan perlahan. kon**lnya segera ia arahkan ke dalam pangkal paha Susan. ?Sleep!?, Setengah detik kemudian kon**l Randy mulai memasuki liang memek Susan. Terasa hangat dan empuk. Sesaat Susan seperti tersadar apa yang sedang terjadi, namun kesadarannya langsung hilang ketika Randy mulai menggerakan pinggangnya naik turun. Napas Randy semakin ngos-ngosan tatkala tubuhnya mulai bergerak menindih tubuh sepupunya yang mulus itu. Buah dada Susan bergoyang-goyang karena gerakan sodokan Randy terhadap tubuhnya. Semuanya seperti tidak dapat dihentikan begitu saja. Kesadaran Susan pun telah musnah berganti kebutuhan untuk dicumbui. Ia akhirnya juga merespon gerakkan yang dilakukan sepupunya tersebut. Memek Susan berdenyut-denyut ketika kon**l sepupunya terus bergerak dalam liang memeknya. Pinggangnya bergerak berputar-putar dan sambil merintih penuh rasa nikmat. ?Ran.., nghh enghhnak.., enghh terusshhsshh?, rintih Susan dalam kenikmatan. Desahan Susan membuat nafsu Randy semakin menjadi-jadi. Ia sama sekali tidak menyadari bahwa gadis yang sedang ia entot adalah kakak sepupunya sendiri. Konsentrasi Randy hanyalah pada gerakan tubuhnya yang maju mundur. Batang kon**lnya seperti dipijit-pijit di dalam lubang memek Susan. Ia semakin mempercepat gerakannya karena terasa sesuatu yang mendesak batang kon**lnya. ?Engghh.., yang.., engghh lebihhss kerassh..sshh?, Susan mendesah merasa saat itu dirinya telah membubung tinggi. Randy semakin mempercepat gerakannya. Bunyi kecepak-kecepuk menjadi semakin berirama. Randy merasa kon**lnya seperti akan meledak. Gerakannya kini telah menjadi hentakan-hentakan. Susan masih terus memeluk erat tubuh sepupunya sambil matanya terus terpejam. ?Esshh.., Ahh.., ahh..ampirr.., ashh?, Susan mendesah-desah. Ia merasa tubuhnya sudah hampir mencapai puncak. Gerakan tubuh keduanya menjadi sangat cepat. Tiba-tiba Randy menghentakkan badannya dengan keras dan lama ke dalam tubuh sepupunya. Kedua tubuh itu tampak bergetar. Tangan Susan pun memeluk tubuh Randy tak kalah eratnya. Keduanya telah sampai dipuncak kenikmatan. Adegan kedua sepupu itu tanpa disadari sebenarnya dilihat oleh Tante Betty dari balik pintu. Tante Betty benar-benar bingung dengan apa yang dilihatnya. Ia sebenarnya ingin segera memasuki kamar itu namun ia segera menyadari bahwa hal itu dapat memperburuk keadaan. Beberapa saat kemudian Tante Betty melihat keduanya tampak tertidur. Kedua ponakannya itu terkulai lemas dalam keadaan telanjang. Dengan perlahan ia memasuki kamar itu dan mendekati ranjang tempat dua ponakannya tertidur lelap. Ia mulai menatap wajah kedua ponakannya dengan rasa galau. Mungkin karena aku terlalu sibuk sehingga hal ini sampai terjadi ucapnya dalam hati. Dengan perlahan ia mulai menaiki kasur dan mendekatkan badannya pada tubuh Susan. Dipeluknya gadis ponakannya itu dengan penuh rasa kasih sayang. Melihat tubuh gadisnya yang sintal dengan buah dada yang ranum membuatnya tersadar bahwa Susan memang mungkin sudah saatnya dewasa. Benar-benar kesalahanku, keluhnya. Randy yang merasa ada orang datang mulai terbangun. Kelopak matanya terbuka perlahan dan tampak tantenya memakai daster biru membelakanginya. Lekuk tubuh tantenya tampak indah dalam keremangan kamar. Dalam keadaan setengah sadar, ia masih merasakan kenikmatan yang baru saja dilaluinya bersama Susan. Tak terasa beberapa saat kemaluannya menegang kembali. Kebutuhan yang mulai mendesak itu membuat Randy mulai salah tingkah. Tiba-tiba saja ia ingin menyentuh tubuh tantenya yang berada di hadapannya. Apalagi lekuk tubuh tantenya terlihat sangat indah. Namun ia sangat takut apabila tantenya marah. Maka iapun berpura-pura tidur dan memejamkan mata. Dalam keadaan yang mulai birahi kembali Randy memutar otaknya agar dorongannya tersebut terpuaskan. Maka dengan pura-pura dalam keadaan tidur Randy menggerakan badannya untuk dapat memeluk tubuh tantenya. Tante Betty yang merasa tubuh Randy bergerak segara membalikkan badan dan memeluk tubuh Randy. Buah dadanya yang hanya dibalut daster biru terasa menyentuh bagian muka Randy. Tante Betty pun mulai membelai kepala Randy dengan penuh kelembutan. Diperhatikan ponakan laki-lakinya dari atas kepala dan turun ke bawah. Pasti banyak yang naksir, ucap tante Betty dalam hati melihat kepolosan wajah ponakannya itu. Tiba-tiba wajah Tante Betty memerah. Tak sengaja matanya menyapu kon**l Randy yang agak menegang. Ia berusaha menenangkan diri bahwa yang dihadapannya adalah keponakannya sendiri. Namun jantungnya semakin berdebar-debar. Apalagi diusia yang telah memasuki usia tiga puluh tahun ini ia belum pernah disentuh laki-laki. Kebutuhan seksualnya selama ini ia alihkan dengan menyibukkan diri pada pekerjaan. Sebagai wanita matang, selama ini ia belum pernah melihat tubuh laki-laki dewasa dalam keadaan telanjang. Tubuh Randy pun juga mulai mekar di usia enam belas tahun itu. Tiba-tiba kepala tante Betty terasa agak berkunang-kunang. Tanpa sadar tangan Tante Betty mulai bergerak mendekati batang kon**l Randy. Dengan perlahan-lahan agar Randy tidak terbangun, Tante Betty mulai menyentuh batang kon**l Randy. Terasa hangat dan agak keras. Dibelai-belai batang kon**l itu dengan penuh kelembutan. Ia membayangkan andai saja batang kon**l itu mendesak-desak di lubang memeknya. Matanya mulai terpejam. Tanpa sadar tangannya yang sebelah meremas buah dadanya sendiri. Terasa ada cairan hangat mengalir di dalam kemaluannya. Mau tidak mau Tante Betty mengakui bahwa ia mulai terangsang setelah menyentuh batang kon**l Ponakannya. Tiba-tiba saja tangan Randy bergerak. Rasa kaget itu membuat Tante Betty menghentikan sentuhannya. Ia memejamkan mata sambil berbaring dalam keadaan memeluk ponakannya. Harapannya adalah Randy menganggapnya tidur. Merasakan apa yang baru saja dilakukan tantenya terhadap kon**lnya, Randy menjadi berani. Dibukanya ritsluiting atas daster tantenya. Tampak di depan matanya buah dada yang lebih besar dari kepunyaan Susan. Tampak pula tonjolan mungil puting Tante Betty yang berwarna merah kecoklat-coklatan. Randy sudah tidak sabar. Ia langsung mengulum puting susu tantenya yang sudah mulai menegang itu. Buah dada tantenya pun mulai terasa mengeras. Tante Betty kebingungan dengan apa yang dilakukan ponakannya itu. Sekilas hampir saja ia beranjak bangun. Seharusnya ia menegur yang dilakukan ponakannya itu. Tapi jangan-jangan ia tahu apa yang tadi kulakukan, pikir Tante Betty. Ia menjadi takut sendiri kalau hal itu benar-benar terjadi. Pasti bisa memalukan dirinya jika ponakannya melapor pada mamanya. Akhirnya dengan pasrah, Tante Betty tetap berpura-pura tidur. Apalagi sentuhan lidah Randy pada putingnya membawa kenikmatan yang luas biasa. Bahkan ia mulai menikmati sepenuhnya ketika kuluman Randy disertai gigitan kecil. Tante Betty pun mengigit bibir karena cumbuan ponakannya. ?Ssshh..?, tanpa sadar Tante Betty mendesah penuh kenikmatan saat Randy mengulum puting buah dadanya. Ia pun memegangi kepala ponakannya dengan penuh kelembutan seperti tidak boleh membiarkan aktivitas itu berhenti. Kesadarannya mulai kabur dan seluruh sendi tubuhnya menjadi sangat lemas. Randy tahu bahwa tantenya berpura-pura tidur. Ia juga tahu kalau tantenya benar-benar menikmati semua yang dia lakukan pada tubuh tantenya itu. Hal ini semakin membangkitkan keberaniannya. Ia segera membuka daster Tante Betty sambil terus mengulum puting serta meremas-remas tubuh Tante Betty. Dijilatinya seluruh tubuh tantenya. ?Enghh.., ahhng.., ahh.., nggssh?, Tante Betty mendesah tanpa mampu menahan apa yang dilakukan ponakannya tersebut. Tubuhnya seperti tidak mau berhenti dijilati. Saat ini dia hanya ingin terus disentuh dengan penuh kemesraan. Napas Randy mulai ngos-ngosan. Kebutuhannya untuk memuaskan dorongan kebutuhannya membuat ia segera membuka celana dalam Tante Betty. Pemandangan bulu-bulu halus di sekitar kemaluan tantenya membuat Randy semakin bernafsu. Diarahkan batang kon**lnya ke dalam selangkangan tante Betty. ?Sleep!?, Batang kon**lnya pun telah masuk ke dalam lubang memek tantenya. Tante Betty merasakan tubuhnya dimasuki sesuatu yang terasa luar biasa enaknya. Matanya terpejam sangat dalam. Tubuhnya mulai merespon gerakan naik turun Randy. Nafasnya tidak teratur dipenuhi dengan dorongan nafsu yang mulai tinggi . ?Aahh.., esshh.., ahh?, Tante Betty mulai mengerang kenikmatan. Ia pun memegangi pantat Randy untuk membantu gerakan naik turun. Mendengar suara desahan-desahan Susan pun terbangun. Ia sedikit terhenyak melihat tubuh tantenya dalam keadaan telanjang ditindih oleh Randy. Dilihatnya Randy dengan penuh nafsu menyetubuhi Tante Betty. Susan pun agak bingung bahwa Tantenya itu justru merepon dengan desahan-desahan. Tangan Randy memegangi paha Tante Betty dan pinggangnya terus bergerak di sela-sela selangkangan tantenya itu. Melihat adegan sepupu serta desahan tantenya dalam ruangan yang remang-remang ini membuat Susan mulai terangsang. Tanpa sadar Susan mendekati wajah tantenya itu. Diciumnya bibir Tante Betty. Tante Betty pun dalam keadaan yang sudah di awang-awang segera merespon ciuman itu dengan lumatan yang penuh birahi. Randy sudah asyik dengan aktivitas maju-mundur untuk meningkatkan kenikmatannya. ?Eng.., ssh.., nikmat.., Ran?, desah Tante Betty sambil disela-sela ciumannya dengan Susan. kon**l Randy terasa semakin tersedot-sedot. Suara kecepak kecepok menjadi semakin keras dan berirama sering dengan gerakan kon**l Randy memasuki liang memek Tante Betty. Susan semakin larut dengan permainan tante dan sepupunya itu. memeknya pun telah menjadi basah karena terangsang melihat adegan sepupu dan tantenya itu. Kepala Susan kemudian bergerak turun. Bibirnya mengulum puting dan tangannya meremas-remas buah dada tantenya. ?Enghss.., enghh.., terusshhin.., engshh?, Tante Betty semakin merasa terbang di awang-awang. Gerakan Randy membuat memeknya terasa sangat nikmat. Jilatan lidah Susan pada putingnya semakin membuat nafsunya menjadi-jadi. Nafasnya menjadi semakin tidak teratur. Cumbuan kedua ponakannya memenuhi kebutuhan seksualnya yang sudah tertahan belasan tahun. Tubuhnya pun ikut maju-mundur seiring dengan gerakan Randy. Ia pun semakin mempererat pelukannya pada Randy. Gerakan maju-mundur Randy diimbangi dengan gerakan bergoyang-goyang oleh Tante Betty. Aktivitas ini membuat ia merasa ada sesuatu yang mendesak. Tante Betty semakin mempercepat goyangannya. Ia memeluk Randy sangat erat sambil terus mengoyangkan pinggulnya dengan cepat. Tiba-tiba tubuh Tante Betty menegang dan memeknya berdenyut-denyut seperti meledakkan sesuatu. Ia merasa tubuhnya hancur berkeping-keping dalam kenikmatan. ?Ran.., ganti aku aja.., Tante udah lemas tuh?, ucap Susan tanpa malu-malu. Ia segera mengangkangkan kakinya. Nafsunya sudah memuncak dan harus dipenuhi. Seluruh bagian tubuhnya seperti menuntut untuk dicumbui. Randy pun menarik kon**l dari kemaluan tantenya yang telah terkulai itu. Diarahkannya batang kon**lnya itu ke arah lubang memek Susan yang telah mengangkang itu. ?Sleep!?, kon**lnya langsung terasa tersedot-sedot. Ditindihnya tubuh sepupunya itu.

Mereka sudah dikuasai oleh birahi yang tak tertahankan. Kebutuhan itu saling memuaskan membuat tidak ada lagi kecanggungan diantara mereka. Randy menciumi buah dada Susan sambil pinggang melakukan gerakan naik turun. Susan melingkarkan tangannya pada punggung Randy. ?Enghh terusshh.., Ran.., masukin terus.., enggsshh?, desah Susan sambil matanya masih terus terpejam. Dengan perlahan Randy menarik tubuh Susan agar duduk di atas pinggang Randy. Posisi ini semakin membuat kon**l Randy lebih bisa masuk lebih dalam lagi. Tangan Randy memegangi pantat sepupunya itu. Susan juga merasa memeknya terisi lebih penuh oleh batang kon**l Randy. Randy semakin merasa kon**lnya disedot-sedot oleh kemaluan sepupunya. Susan yang berada di atas tubuh Randy mulai menggerakkan badannya. Keduanya telah larut dalam gerakan berirama. Randy semakin memperdalam gerakannya pada selangkangan sepupunya. Susan pun mencontoh gerakan tantenya dengan menggoyang-goyang pinggangnya. ?Enghh.., terus.., Ran.., Enghh enaahkk?, mata Susan terpejam dan bibirnya mendesah. Randy terus menggerakan pinggangnya semakin cepat. Goyangan Susan pun menjadi samakin cepat pula. Kedua tubuh itu telah menyatu dalam kebutuhan yang tak tertahankan. memeknya terasa semakin berdenyut-denyut oleh sodokan-sodokan kon**l sepupunya itu. ?Lebihh kerashh.., enghh lagi?, Susan merasakan tubuhnya akan meledak. Gerakan keduanya menjadi semakin cepat dan keras. Tiba-tiba saja tubuh keduanya menegang secara bersamaan tanda mereka mencapai puncak kenimatan bersamaan. Beberapa saat kemudian ketiganya sudah tertidur pulas dalam keadaan telanjang. Peristiwa semalam tampaknya dianggap seperti tidak pernah ada oleh Tante Betty. Saat makan pagi, tante Betty tampak berusaha bersikap santai. ?Ran, kamu mau kemana hari ini?, tanya Tante Betty sambil mengoleskan mentega pada roti tawarnya. Ia sudah mengenakan busana kerja. Blus krem dan rok span abu-abu. ?Mungkin ke toko buku, ada novel Shedney Shieldon yang baru?, ucap Randy sambil berpura-pura membaca koran. Ia masih sungkan dengan Tante Betty mengingat apa yang dilakukannya semalam. Ia takut kalau sampai Tante Betty lapor ke mamanya. Bisa-bisa aku dibunuh oleh Papa, pikirnya. ?Kalau gitu ini buat beli novelnya?, ucap Tante Betty sambil menyodorkan dua lembar uang lima puluh ribuan. Randy pun mendongakan kepalanya sambil terheran-heran. Dilihatnya Tante Betty mengangguk. Tanda ia harus menerima uang itu. ?Makasih ya, Tante?, ucap Randy sambil menyorongkan badannya memeluk Tante Betty, Merekapun berangkulan erat. Tiba-tiba Tante Betty berbisik?, Yang tadi malem jangan kasih tau siapa-siapa ya, Ran?. ?Iya, Tante?. Kemaluan Randy terasa mengeras. ?Terus kalau Randy takut tidur sendirian, tidur di kamar Tante aja ya?, ucap Tante Betty dengan nada datar. Ia tidak mau Randy menangkap keinginannya. Namun bagi Randy kata-kata itu seperti undangan yang sangat jelas maksudnya. Randy pun sedikit melonggarkan pelukannya dan melihat wajah Tante Betty tampak agak memerah. Hasrat untuk melakukan aktivitas seperti semalam menggelegak dalam dirinya. Tanpa sadar diciumnya bibir Tante Betty. Pertama lembut namun kemudian semakin ganas. Kebutuhannya mulai tak tertahankan. Tante Betty sempat gelagapan dengan apa yang dilakukan oleh Randy. Ia tidak mengira Randy sudah berani terang-terangan. Namun sekian detik kemudian ia mulai membalas ciuman itu. Mereka saling melumat lidah dan menghisap. Ia bahkan membiarkan tangan Randy membuka kancing blusnya. Tangan Randy segera menyisihkan BH dan meremasi buah dadanya. Semakin lama buah dada itu terasa mengeras. ?Sudah, Ran. Tante mau ke kantor?, ucap Tante Betty sambil berpura-pura tidak mau. Namun tampaknya Randy tidak peduli. Ia mulai menciumi leher tante Betty dengan lembut. Tangannya yang satu bahkan mulai mengangkat span abu-abu itu hingga celana dalam tante Betty terlihat. Tangan Randy pun mulai menggerayangi sesuatu yang ada di balik celana dalam itu. ?Ash.., neghh, udah, Ran?, desah Tante Betty. Ia tidak ingin terlambat. Tender proyek dua M itu bisa hilang, pikir tante Betty. Namun apa yang dilakukan ponakannya ini benar-benar terasa nikmat. Akhirnya ia membalikkan badan dan segera menurunkan celana dalamnya. ?Udah, Ran dari belakang aja?, ucap Tante Betty sunguh-sungguh. Rani, teman kantornya, pernah mengatakan kalau pria bersetubuh lewat belakang akan cepat ejakulasi. Paling tidak ia masih sempat merasakan persetubuhan dan tidak terlambat ke kantor. Kesempatan itu tidak disia-siakan Randy. Dipelorotkannya celana pendeknya. Batang kon**lnya tampak sudah sangat tegang. Perlahan diarahkannya kon**lnya ke memek Tante Betty. ?Slepp!?, kon**l Randy mulai memasuki lubang memek Tante Betty.
