Gu Xiao has high requirements for the quality of life, so they did not rent online in advance, but decided to choose slowly when they got there.
Land is expensive in London, and renting a house casually costs tens of thousands of dollars. Although Gu Xiao is not short of money, Zhang Siyi still urges him to find a relatively economical one.
A is located in the center of the city, and the houses close to the school are expensive and small, but they don’t have the time to wander between the classroom and the suburbs, picking and choosing. In the end, Gu Xiao Pai’an chose a set of only 30 nearby. A few square meters of studio.
Zhang Siyi was a little flustered: "Isn't it bad to live in a studio?"
A studio is the kind of one-bedroom apartment that provides rent for young couples, or it can be understood as a single apartment. Generally, only one double bed is provided. However, although the sparrow is small and complete, the house covers all the functional space required for one or two people to live. There is a kitchen for cooking and a three-square-meter separate bathroom.
Gu Xiao said: "What's wrong? There is a supermarket downstairs, and you can see the park and the small square when you open the windows. It takes ten minutes to go to the school. It's very convenient to live here."
Zhang Siyi glanced at the agent with a strange face, and whispered to Gu Xiao in Chinese: "We two men live in a studio and sleep on the same bed, others will definitely think crooked when they find out."
Gu Xiao thought it was funny: "We are a couple, what can we do if we think about it?" After that, he held Zhang Siyi's hand.
Zhang Siyi: "…"
Agent: "… "
After signing the rental contract that day, you can move in smoothly. When you took the elevator downstairs, the agent asked, "So, are you a same-sex couple?"
Gu Xiao admitted generously: "Well."
The intermediary said with a smile: "You look very loving, I wish you happiness."
Gu Xiao thanked him, and after the man left, he turned his head to Zhang Siyi and said, "The people of the corrupt country are indeed more calm than the Chinese when faced with this kind of thing."
Zhang Siyi's face was bewildered throughout the whole process, and it was only now that he reacted and shouted, "Damn it! Are you planning to hide our relationship any more?"
Gu Xiao squeezed Zhang Siyi's hand as a matter of course: "The ring is all on, what are you hiding?"
Speaking of this, Zhang Siyi was a little angry. He always felt as if he was being caught unknowingly, and couldn't help complaining: "How can you be like this, taking advantage of someone else's call to send it."
Gu Xiao grabbed his hand: "You don't want it? Then... "
Zhang Siyi thought Gu Xiao was going to retrieve it, so he retracted his hand and clenched his fist: "Who said no!"
Gu Xiao squinted and smiled at him: "Haha."
Zhang Siyi: "..." (= dish=)
Gu Xiao went on to explain: "Since we are no longer in the relationship between subordinates and subordinates, we don't need to be so careful. Besides, we are abroad now, so we can simply be free and don't care what others think, anyway, we will come back later. country, these foreigners will not know us anymore.”
Zhang Siyi was a little moved by Gu Xiao, this is indeed a step that requires courage to take a step, not to care about other people's eyes, just like the intermediary just now. bless.
Zhang Siyi joked: "Do you think we will become famous one day, for example, if you or I won the Pritzker Prize, when we come to the stage to accept the award, someone will recognize us, they will point to the computer 's photo said - wow, this guy is gay, I've seen it!"
Zhang Siyi's exaggerated tone made Gu Xiao can't help laughing. He raised his hand and gave the other a melon seed on the back of his head, saying, "It's still a Pritzker Prize, I'm just daydreaming."
Zhang Siyi covered his head in anger: "It's not enough to think about it, you must have a goal in life!"
Gu Xiao smiled and said: "Yes, but you don't have too unrealistic goals and desires for fame and fortune. For me, being an architect is worth enjoying. It doesn't matter if I win awards or become famous. If that happens, it won't hurt to be recognized, and stars will have to put up with other people's opinions, but it won't affect our ability in the professional field."
Zhang Siyi: "…"
A few days later, the two went to IKEA to buy furniture and m&s to buy bed sheets and quilt covers. Gu Xiao even found a decoration material market in the suburbs, and brought Zhang Siyi to buy some wood boards and decoration tools together.
Dingding, knocking and sawing, Gu Xiao thoughtfully ordered some retractable, up-and-down hidden shelves and partitions around the room, making use of the original dead space.
Finally, two cacti, one large and one small, were placed on the windowsill—yes, they packed the cacti and brought them in from the country!
Because the packing was not firm, when I took it out of the suitcase, soil was scattered everywhere in the bag, and the two balls seemed to have had their necks cut off, and were shaky at the roots.
Zhang Siyi, who had a psychological shadow on this, was frightened and panicked, and worried: "Will he die?"
Gu Xiao seemed very calm, and said casually: "It's okay, the cactus has a strong vitality." After that, he went downstairs to dig some soil in the flower bed and buried it roughly.
As for why Gu Xiao was able to bring the big ball back from the office without being obstructed by the front desk... Whoever calls him the director has the privilege. ╮(╯_╰)╭
In addition to some furniture and decorations, Gu Xiao also bought a bunch of tools needed for learning architecture, such as printers, scanners, T-squares, and even bought a design table with a light board for Zhang Siyi. , stuffed the empty studio full to the brim.
Zhang Siyi's jaw dropped at Gu Xiao's inhumane behavior: "Why do you have to buy it yourself? You can print it at school and pay for it!"
Gu Xiao explained: "If a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools. I asked Tao Fei, and he said that a large printer always has to queue up when it is busy. If there are a lot of works, it is better to bring your own. , after two years, it’s almost the same, and if we use it for two, it will definitely not be a loss.”
Zhang Siyi asked again: "Why do I buy a light-transmitting board and a design table? I use a computer to draw pictures, and I don't do much hand-painting."
Gu Xiao raised his eyebrows and said, "You don't know how to draw? Practice! As an architect, you don't know how to draw. How dare you say it? I have endured this shortcoming for a long time."
Zhang Siyi was choked with anger, looked around, and said, "Then you've bought too much, it's all money!"
Gu Xiao smiled: "I have money."
Zhang Siyi said anxiously, "Then why don't you just buy another ser cutter (laser printer, model tool)!"
Gu Xiao looked around and said, "I can't let it go."
Zhang Siyi: "…"
Well, he conceded... Gu Xiao seemed to have calculated the dimensions of the room. Even if a writing desk and a design table were placed, the room would only look crowded, but there was no problem with the use of space.
It took about ten days for the two of them to finally decorate the small nest, which was less than forty square meters.
There is no partition in the house, and the kitchen is open. Except for the bathroom, no matter where one person is, the other person can see each other as soon as they turn their heads. This feeling is really amazing, as if there is nothing between them secret.
At night, Zhang Siyi and Gu Xiao were lying on the bed together. The two cuddled and touched each other. Zhang Siyi would still be in a trance about everything in front of him. He thought it was incredible that Gu Xiao came to the UK with him, but after a while, he was sure that it was all true. Afterwards, there was a stronger sense of happiness in my heart.
Their beds face south, and in the morning sunlight will shine on the bed through the window. Just like Gu Xiao's bedroom in the Garden of Far Mountains, when Gu Xiao chose a house, this advantage was also taken into account.
There is still a week left before school starts. The two went shopping in supermarkets, visiting London, and meeting friends. After a few days of sweet and worry-free days.
Zhang Siyi had some university classmates who were still in London. When they learned that he was going back to the UK to study for a master's degree, they asked him out to meet each other. Even Yu Rui sent a message to Zhang Siyi saying that he wanted to invite him to dinner.
Zhang Siyi remembered the comments made by his classmates on this girl, and was a little scared. He kept a distance from her and refused her invitation, but accepted Xue Wenhan, who had a better relationship.
Xue Wenhan also found a job in London after graduating with a master's degree after studying for a year. He did not work in construction, but as a travel agency opened by local Chinese, specializing in making Chinese money.
Zhang Siyi was dumbfounded: "Aren't you stupid in studying? Why did you graduate from a master's degree and then change careers? Then why did you study for a master's degree in the first place?"
Xue Wenhan said in distress: "Hey, you are so easy to find a job in London? I have applied for more than a dozen firms, and they have all rejected me. Finally, there is now a firm that wants me. I will go there to be a springboard, and then Take your time."
Zhang Siyi: "Did you know that Yu Rui went to the f office?"
Xue Wenhan: "I know, Yu Rui is really amazing."
The two of them looked at each other and smiled bitterly as if they knew each other well. Boys didn't like to gossip as much as girls, and they didn't talk much about Yu Rui. Instead, they talked about the employment situation in the construction industry in the UK.
The overall situation in the UK is not better than in China, and it is also the same with more monks and less porridge. Zhang Siyi felt a little uneasy when he heard the words: "Shouldn't I also graduate and lose my job?" Gu Xiao's investment of one million won't be in vain!
Xue Wenhan smiled and said: "You are different. You applied for part 2 of a major. Read it well, you must have a better way out than me."
I met Xue Wenhan and went back, and the next day Gu Xiao also took him to see Gu Xiao’s own friend, who was Gu Xiao’s former chief of science at T University. He also graduated from A University with a master’s degree. Because of his strong personal ability, he stayed in A relatively well-known firm in London, although not qualified for the Royal Architect License, has been working for seven or eight years and is now a senior project leader.
Gu Xiao mentioned to Zhang Siyi that he was looking for someone to help him apply for a job in the UK, and he was the one he was looking for.
The person who met them was a restaurant in Chinatown. He was so excited when he saw Gu Xiao, he shook his hand and said, "How many years have we not seen each other? I didn't expect you to come to the UK too, welcome! "
The two chatted enthusiastically for a while. He glanced at the ring on Gu Xiao's hand and said in surprise, "Damn! Why are you married? Why didn't you tell me?"
Gu Xiao smiled, tilted his head, pulled Zhang Siyi who was stupid next to him, and said, "Come on, let me introduce you, this is my lover, Zhang Siyi."
