I want to idle away the time with you

 I want to idle away the time with you

Cheng Bi 

00:00/08:29

I want to idle away the time with you

Like lowering your head to look at fish

Like leaving the teacup on the table and walking away

Wasting their pretty shadows

I also want to waste even the sunset

Like taking a walk

Lingering until the sky is full of starlight

I also want to waste the time when the wind rises

Sitting in the hallway in a daze

Until the dark clouds in your eyes

Are all blown outside the window

I have already idled away the world as it passed me by

Weary as if never loved

But tomorrow I will still do this

Idle away, I will still do this

Flowers and plants everywhere in sight

Life should be as beautiful as they are

Just as meaningless, just as

Like a film idled away

Like leaning on the railing

Lowering your head to look at the mirror of water

Until all the idled-away things

Grow thin wings behind us

I have already idled away the world as it passed me by

Weary as if never loved

But tomorrow I will still do this

Idle away, I will still do this

Want to waste each other with you

Idle away together the short silences and the long meaninglessness

Wear away together this delicate and aging universe

I remember a friend once said: poor Chengdu succulent lovers can only show off their string-of-pearls, and yes, the others just cannot develop color at all. Anyway, with the conditions at my home, I cannot get them to color up either. Whether they have good form or not, in my heart they are all beautiful. There is no favorite, only more loved. Starting with a nice song, let us wear away, waste and idle away this wonderful time together.


Tia, no one could keep it this green.


Suddenly I saw a giveaway bag from a few years ago, how could I waste it? Succulents go with anything. Just put a few in casually, so pretty.


The first time I went to the seaside, I did not care about anything else, I just brought back a bunch of shells and stones.


This is how the Sempervivum at my sister's house looks.


So, the same pot and the same Sempervivum, leave the rest to time.


Do not throw away a broken pot.


Look, instantly it looks classy.


Bought it because the flowers looked nice.


Aeonium, a little forest on the balcony.

Here comes a true succulent novice. I forget the names as soon as I buy them. A friend told me, the green ones are green Aeonium, the black ones are black Aeonium. Hmm, that makes sense.


The biggest pot.


Furong Xuelian (Echeveria 'Furong Xuelian'), only now do I know its name.


This pot almost died last summer.


Uh, this shape seems different from the others.


A piece of wood I picked up.


A stone brought back from a thousand li away. I found that succulents grown on wood and stone grow especially well.


Picked up a big piece of wood, overjoyed, and started fiddling with it.


A friend also said, the ones with red tips are all Gibbiflora (Echeveria 'Gibbiflora'), and the ones with red edges are all Huayueye (Echeveria 'Huayueye'). Hmm, now I do not have to worry about remembering them.


This pot counts as the one in the best condition.


Angel, do not cry. It does not matter if you are ugly. After all, being alive is heaven.


I will not introduce them one by one, anyway you all know them. In my eyes they all have one name, succulents.


Such plump little seedlings, no idea what they are.


Although the peach eggs are plump, no color, no color, no color.


Master, do not photograph me, I am so ugly. Boo hoo.


Hey, little duck upstairs, do not cry. Back then, big sister was just a little prettier, and that is why master's friend took a fancy to me at first glance. Now I am stranded far away and I miss you all so much. I do not know how a few good sisters who had the same fate as me are doing now. Boo hoo, let me cry for a bit first.


The first one I learned to weave, hey, not bad.


Found two super tiny succulents, are you charmed?


Let us stop here. I have been growing succulents for several years. Although I have several hundred pots, I feel none of them are presentable, hee hee.
