Sunbath in the Courtyard 庭院日光浴
Waked to a sunbeam resting on my desk and I pulled open the door，stepping into the courtyard.It was empty and quiet and I realized the school was still on vacation and my buddies hadn’t returned from the long journey. So I was on my own again today. Inside was a bunch of homework and a pile of messy bedding articles while outsde is the attracting warm sunsine and refreshing air.All those seemed to imply what I should do next.
About 3 quaters later, a midium scale removal started. What added to my courtyard was a cup of tea, a pack of cigarettes, a wet towel, a pile of komework,an armchair,a small short stool and all the beddings. Now I sat down and began to correct the homework comfortably with the stool as my leg rest. I put the wet towel on the head to keep cool and resist the glaring light, which reminded me of the arabian keffiyeh. What you might not expect was that I only wore a pair of beaches—–I hate my pale flesh tone and I wanna get tanned!
To relax the sore neck, I would reward myself a good rest. It involed bending backward with my neck socket resting on the chair back, enjoying the above blue sky and white clouds. It also include taking a long pull at my cigarette and deep sip at my tea once in a while. Forgot how many times my tea was refilled and the towlel redamped and the cigareetes relit in the process of work/rest. Occasionally, I sank into a weird trance, in which I was vacationing somewhere in the Midterranian. What a lazy and cozy morning!
Two hours passed, my skin got browned, quilts got sterilized from the 5-star UV, tea drunk up and work was done. Everything was again indoors including myself, where I took a sound nap. Maybe I was mesmerized by the sweet flavour of the sun collected by my bedclothes.
