It's March in a blink of an eye, and the weather is not showing any signs of warming up. This winter is too long.
At this time, Zhou Hao was already in the second semester of his second year of graduate school. The affiliated hospital where he practiced had appointed more than a dozen doctors to go to the No. 1 People's Hospital of Taishui City in the south for exchange and guidance, and his mentor was also accompanying him. Zhou Hao was hand-picked by his mentor and went on a business trip for two months.
Although the time was not long, it was still a long journey, Zhou Hao planned to say goodbye to Jiang Yuqian.
With the experience of countless times before, he no longer expected to get through the phone, but once again killed Jiang Yuqian's door.
Fortunately, the weather at this time was much better than last time, at least his teeth would not chatter and his hands and feet would not be numb from the cold.
In the evening, Jiang Yuqian's black Mercedes drove back, and Zhou Hao immediately blocked it.
Jiang Yuqian rolled down the car window, and said in a distant tone, "What's the matter?"
"I am busy."
Zhou Hao opened the car door and sat in the co-pilot. The air conditioner in the car warmed his whole body. He rubbed his slightly stiff hands, "In a few days, I'm going to a city in the south for two months. , come and see you before you leave."
Jiang Yuqian didn't respond much, he was already tired of hearing these warm words.
"That's all." Zhou Hao turned his head to look at the person beside him, his throat rolled, and he pursed his lips before he could speak, "Come on, I've seen it before, I'm going back."
As soon as he touched the inner handle, Zhou Hao retracted it hesitantly, so it should be regarded as a farewell ceremony before leaving.
He put his head in front of Jiang Yuqian, held the man's head tightly, and brutally attacked the other's lips in an abusive manner.
I don't know if it was desire, or the smell of tobacco in Zhou Hao's mouth paralyzed his nerves, but Jiang Yuqian responded emotionally.
The lips and teeth of the two intertwined, desperately trying to suck the breath from the other's mouth. After kissing for a long time, even the lips are a little numb, and some of each other's transparent saliva is still on them. It seemed that he was about to suffocate, and the four lips were willing to part.
Zhou Hao pressed his middle finger lightly on his lips, smiled flirtatiously, and stuck out his tongue to lick it, "I knew it, and you felt it too."
After a long kiss, his lips were a little swollen, and they were as bright red as blood.
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Jiang Yuqian's response, he quickly opened the car door and walked into the cold night wind. He walked in a hurry and hurriedly, was he afraid of what that person might say
He understands the principle of accepting as soon as you see it.
Three days later, Zhou Hao flew to Taishui City.
It was a southern city surrounded by mountains, with a dense population and a medium price level. The dialect here had an upward ending, loud and high-pitched. So on the street, you think the two are arguing, but they are actually chatting.
On the first day of Zhou Hao's arrival, he took a few photos and sent them to Jiang Yuqian. There were pictures of him in front of the airport, pictures of him standing at the foot of the mountain, and pictures of him at the entrance of Taishui Hospital.
The postures are all the same, standing with hands raised and chest out, a bit like the standing posture of the previous generation.
To be honest, handsome is handsome, but the pose for taking pictures is too rustic.
Life here is relatively slow-paced. In the morning, you can always see old men and women crossing the road hand in hand, carrying vegetable bags to buy vegetables, or men, women and children eating breakfast in restaurants. By the way, the breakfast here is very famous, and it is considered a must in the southern region. Soup dumplings, siu mai, shrimp dumplings, and wontons are all here, and they seem inconspicuous, and you will be addicted to them after one bite.
Zhou Hao came with the teacher, saying it was for exchange and study, but in fact he had nothing to do, he just stood by when the teacher was in the clinic.
He spent half a month leisurely wandering in Taishui, tasted the special snacks, walked all the famous streets and alleys, and occasionally looked up at the sky, the sky was blue and the white clouds were long, he always felt lack something.
It was only later that he gradually became aware of a foreign land, and this place was good, since it was not his home after all. Since it is not home, wherever you go, you will be wandering.
Thinking of home, he immediately thought of Jiang Yuqian. Probably subconsciously, he, Zhou Hao, has always regarded that person as a relative.
The wechat chat interface between the two still stays at the few photos they sent him half a month ago. Zhou Hao stared at the phone, his brain was running fast, and he thought of the facial expression of the man when he looked at the photo.
"Did you read it?" Zhou Hao wondered to himself.
That frowning look like a stable old man.
Did you see it? Have you read it... Mother-in-law's, I don't have the consciousness of being verbose and cumbersome.
It's 7 o'clock on Sunday night, Zhou Hao guessed that the person would not have to work overtime at the company today, he swiped the contact list, found "Qianqian", and called.
"Beep beep—" every time the sound sounded, it was like a thread pulling a nerve, making it painful and tense.
"Sorry, the number you dialed is currently on the line..." Jiang Yuqian cut off the call.
Zhou Hao's words that were brewing just now were completely blocked before he could get out of his mouth, so he had to walk step by step to the place where he lived.
Walking very slowly, like a wandering lonely ghost, the street lights stretched his shadow long and lonely...
================
"Why didn't you answer the phone?" Cheng Zixu asked.
Jiang Yuqian casually left his mobile phone on the table with a cold expression, "Wrong number." Then he continued to cut the foie gras on the plate with his knife and fork.
Although Cheng Zixu was suspicious, he didn't ask any more questions. Cheng Jinghao's eyelashes drooped, and there was a strange flash in her eyes, she understood everything.
Since his younger sister was an intern at Jiang Yuqian's company, Cheng Zixu would go there to pick up his younger sister from get off work every now and then, and he would run into Jiang Yuqian every now and then. Sometimes we just push the boat along the way, and we all have a meal together.
Zhou Hao didn't know about these things, and Jiang Yuqian naturally wouldn't tell him, but Yan Ming met the three of them twice before Zhou Hao left City A.
Of course, Yan Ming never mentioned this matter.
Sometimes I think about it, Jiang Yuqian is having a romantic relationship with his lover, but his friend is kept in the dark and knows nothing, Yan Ming loves Zhou Hao from the bottom of his heart. Don't look at that person's usual arrogant and arrogant appearance, but his heart is actually like glass, which will shatter at the touch of a touch.
"Boss, after finishing the work in hand, will you give me a vacation?" Cheng Jinghao asked half-jokingly.
They recently took on a big job, which was a cooperation with a multinational Fortune 500 company, mainly in the field of electronic products. The company worked overtime for a month.
Jiang Yuqian is also very busy recently, and he pays special attention to the first big project.
"How many days off do you want? Is ten days enough?"
"Then how can it be?" Cheng Jinghao pretended to be angry, "Brother, please help me to talk to the boss for a few more days!"
Cheng Jinghao is a smart person, she has already seen that her boss is interested in her brother, and she also knows that there is another man beside Jiang Yuqian. But it doesn't matter, as an adult, there are always physical requirements, she guessed it should be the boss's friend with benefits or something.
Jiang Yuqian put down the tableware, wiped his mouth carefully with the napkin on the table, raised his eyebrows and looked at Cheng Zixu, "You miss your brother, why do you ask?"
"That's not easy. I'll just throw my brother to you, and you can round and flatten it as you like." Cheng Jinghao continued to tease at the boss's words.
"Xiao Jing! What nonsense are you talking about!" Cheng Zixu, who was silent, said angrily.
"Brother, you don't know if you don't live at home. You go back and ask your parents, and you will know that your sister goes out early and stays home late these days. She is about to sell her life to the company."
Jiang Yuqian still stared at Cheng Zixu with tender eyes, and he said, "One month, when the work at hand is done, I will grant you a month's leave, and you will receive your salary and bonus."
"Thank you boss!" She blinked at Cheng Zixu, "My brother's face will help!"
…
Jiang Yuqian first sent Cheng Jinghao home, and then drove Cheng Zixu back to Binjiang No. 1.
"Why don't you stay at home?"
"It's more free to live alone." Cheng Zixu looked sideways at Jiang, and asked hesitantly, "Where... is that boyfriend? You live together."
Jiang Yuqian stepped on the brake suddenly, and Cheng Zixu rushed forward due to inertia.
"He's not my boyfriend." Jiang Yuqian's tone was very firm, and he seemed a little angry.
Cheng Zixu also felt his abruptness, why would he intervene in other people's affairs inappropriately. It's just that he felt uncomfortable in his heart, he didn't like Jiang Yuqian staying with that Zhou Hao.
As for the reason, I can't think of it myself, but I feel flustered and uncomfortable.
"I... I just asked casually, if it's all... it doesn't matter." Cheng Zixu was a little incoherent.
Suddenly, Jiang Yuqian leaned forward and kissed her, and Cheng Zixu let him manipulate him in a daze.
It was a long and sweet kiss, very clean and pure, with the beauty of high school mixed in, and it felt like a childhood sweetheart.
This kind of taste is completely different from Zhou Hao's. He and Zhou Hao are always wild and sloppy, but this kiss is the most serious and shy one he has had in so many years, like a virgin's first love.
They let go of their mouths, and the two of them were panting heavily, and the airflow hovered in the carriage vaguely.
"Try to date with me." Confession again.
Cheng Zixu was dazed by the kiss, and replied in a daze, "I'll think about it."
Jiang Yuqian didn't force this person any more, and drove him back.
At night, Jiang Yuqian came out of the bathroom with wet hair, and the dripping water spots on his hair reminded him vaguely of Zhou Hao who always wiped his hair. He sat on the bed and called the man.
The deep affection that is hard to see is like a gift from God.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Zhou Hao was overjoyed, still holding his temper, "I have nothing to do, I'm going to sleep."
"Are you still used to it over there?"
"I'm used to it, I'm fine, but there are no luxury stores here, and I have nowhere to spend your card. You are shutting down..."
Before the "heart" of "concern" was finished, Zhou Hao's words were interrupted, "Go to bed early, I'll die."
In fact, Zhou Hao still has a lot of things in his heart that he wants to tell him, but the phone has already been put down there. It was just a short phone call, and Zhou Hao suffered from insomnia that night.
From childhood to adulthood, what he looks forward to the most is to have a family who can take care of you when you have headaches and headaches. When you go away, he can call you and ask: Are you used to it there? Is it suitable
…
Tonight, he thought he was looking forward to it.
He will never know Jiang Yuqian's state of mind that night. In fact, he has already decided to kick him away and fly away with his sweetheart; in fact, this phone call is just a flash of guilt from him...
Because he didn't know, Zhou Hao was happy for nothing for a long time like a fool.
