On Thursday, there was a large job fair in the gymnasium of Medical University in City A, and Zhou Hao also went there.
Many well-known pharmaceutical companies and major hospitals came to the signboard scene. The graduates rushed forward with their heads squeezed, holding their resumes in their hands.
The domineering young people are eager to try, and their identities have changed from students to social people, which occasionally shows a trace of anxiety or confusion on their faces.
Zhou Hao glanced around the gymnasium in a leisurely manner. His resume is quite good, and it is not difficult to find a decent company. What he is choosing now is the location, he wants to find a small city suitable for him as a countryman.
After flipping through a lot of brochures, he didn't feel too interested, and suddenly became a bit dull. He continued to flip through, and a piece of paper with a simple layout caught his attention.
"The First People's Hospital of Suchuan, located in the southern coastal area, our hospital was built in 1978, currently... ”
It's the south again. As a southerner, he seems to plan to live by the water villages in the south of the Yangtze River for the rest of his life.
Without a moment's hesitation, he walked to the recruitment position of the hospital and put down a resume. The middle-aged woman took a look at Zhou Hao's resume, handed him a form, her eyes were full of surprises, she probably didn't expect that a clinical undergraduate and master's degree from a famous university would condescend to come to their small hospital .
Zhou Hao filled out the form, looked up and asked, "Is this all right?"
The man next to him had an even more exaggerated expression, and quickly responded, "Okay, okay, you can go back to our hospital's official website and have a look, there are some benefits, go back and find out."
Zhou Ha nodded, "Understood, thank you."
On the way back, Zhou Hao searched for the word "Su Chuan" on his mobile phone. This is a famous historical city, and the city flower is Sophora japonica. Every April and May, the whole city is filled with the fragrance of Sophora japonica. In my memory, this is a kind of down-to-earth taste. When I was a child, a few locust trees were planted behind my grandmother's house.
Zhou Hao smiled, unintentionally, and let him meet another similar hometown.
He didn't go home directly, but went to the supermarket first. He bought a lot of vegetables and went home. When he parted, he wanted to cook a decent meal for Yan Ming.
As soon as he left, he didn't know when the two of them would meet next time.
The flowers and trees, the flamboyant and unique buildings, the wide avenue under his feet, and even the unfamiliar faces hurrying by, are all the scenery that Zhou Hao has been with for seven years day and night.
On the way home, his expression was a little sad. He originally wanted to find his family here to settle down and take root. Who would have thought that one day he would be mercilessly abandoned by this huge city.
The western-style metropolis is destined not to welcome him, a kid who only wears dirty school uniforms.
Downstairs in the old-fashioned apartment, Jiang Yuqian stood there in a suit, probably for a long time, stubbornly blending into the dilapidated night.
Zhou Hao walked over and patted Jiang Yuqian on the back, "Have you eaten yet?"
Jiang Yuqian turned around, not even daring to blink, obviously he was startled by Zhou Hao. Compared with the madness of the previous nights, he is too docile and well-behaved at this moment.
Jiang Yuqian said from deep in his throat, "Not yet."
"Come to my house for dinner." Then Zhou Hao entered the corridor and climbed the stairs. Jiang Yuqian followed closely behind him.
Yan Ming has to work overtime today, so he may not know when he will be back. Zhou Hao was not in a hurry, he went to wash the vegetables and wash the rice leisurely.
Jiang Yuqian was standing outside the kitchen, and the atmosphere was a bit strange. After a long time, Jiang Yuqian finally dared to blink his eyes properly, and he asked Zhou Hao, "Do you want me to help?"
Zhou Hao turned his head and grinned at him, "Peel some garlic for me, and pick out the leeks."
Jiang Yuqian hurriedly took off his suit, rolled up the cuffs of his white shirt, pretended to be a good man at home, and was happily busy with Zhou Hao in the kitchen. Occasionally, he would sneak a few sideways glances at the little lunatic, with the corner of his mouth Smiling, overjoyed inside.
The two of them worked hard for more than an hour, and several dishes were placed on the table, such as garlic prawns, sweet and sour pork ribs, fish with pickled cabbage, scrambled eggs with leeks, tomato and egg soup, and a little rooster that happened to be bought by Zhou Hao. I ordered Jiang Yuqian's favorite curry chicken.
Yan Ming hadn't come back at this time, the two sat on the chair without incident, the clock ticked away, and the little orange cat "meowed", breaking the long-lasting silence between the two.
Zhou Hao suddenly thought of the other owner of the orange cat, Wen Wen, if he hadn't left, Zhou Hao would have a good dinner with them tonight. After coming to City A for so many years, he didn't know many people, it seemed that there were only three of them.
"That day, I'm sorry..." Jiang Yuqian stared at Zhou Hao, trying to find forgiveness on his face.
Right above the dining table is an incandescent lamp, which has been used for a long time and is covered with dust. The white light is shining brightly, and the dust is more conspicuous. Zhou Hao's sight was involuntarily taken away by the light bulb. After watching for a long time, little ideas appeared on his retina, and every little idea told him: Haohao, don't be afraid, we will leave tomorrow.
Zhou Hao looked away, looked at a table of dishes, and did not speak.
Jiang Yuqian lowered his eyes desolately, and never spoke again.
The previous silence was restored between the two of them.
Not long after, the security door opened, and it was Yan Ming who came back. Yan Ming's eyes were momentarily surprised by Jiang Yuqian's presence.
"I'm back, I'm going to warm up the ribs, the other dishes are fine." Zhou Hao walked to the kitchen with the ribs in hand.
Yan Ming took the initiative to talk to Jiang Yuqian today, "Why are you here?"
Jiang Yuqian glanced at Yan Ming, did not answer, and turned his gaze to the kitchen.
Yan Ming didn't ask any more, he knew that this must be Zhou Hao's idea. His friend has always been eccentric, and you can never guess what the eccentric is thinking.
During the meal, the three of them ate their own food without any conversation. Yan Ming wanted to say something in his heart to see him off, but because of Jiang Yuqian's presence, he couldn't open his mouth.
The dinner, which spared the family's inconvenience, was eaten quickly, Zhou Hao didn't stop, and was busy clearing the table and washing the dishes.
Yan Ming Zhiqu went downstairs for a walk, leaving the space of the small house to the two.
Zhou Hao stood by the sink washing the dishes, and Jiang Yuqian leaned against the kitchen door. He hesitated a little, but said to the little lunatic with joy, "The chicken curry is delicious."
Zhou Hao's body was obviously stiff and stopped, but he quickly turned his head and smiled at Jiang Yuqian, "I haven't done it for a long time, Yan Ming doesn't like it."
Jiang Yuqian stood awkwardly at the kitchen door like a bewildered kid who couldn't control his hands and feet.
"That." Zhou Hao pointed at Jiang Yuqian.
Jiang Yuqian didn't realize what he meant, "Huh?"
Zhou Hao still pointed with his finger, "The fourth button on your clothes is loose."
Jiang Yuqian lowered his head subconsciously, just about to buckle it up for himself.
Zhou Hao wiped his hands, one step ahead of him, and helped him button it.
The close distance to each other, the ambiguous airflow.
Jiang Yuqian didn't feel his throat rolling. He boldly approached the little lunatic, kissed him on the cheek, then quickly backed away, and said nervously, "I'm leaving, see you tomorrow."
Then, there was the sound of closing the door with a "bang-tong".
The smile on Zhou Hao's face gradually faded, and a stern expression appeared instead. The place Jiang Yuqian kissed seemed to still be warm, Zhou Hao went into the kitchen, turned on the faucet, and wiped the place vigorously with clean water.
At nine o'clock, Yan Ming came back from his walk.
Zhou Hao was packing his luggage in the bedroom. Layers of clothes were spread on the bed. Summer clothes and winter clothes were scattered all over the bed. The two little guys are particularly psychic, aware of the master's departure, and now they are staring at the only remaining master with their big round eyes.
Yan Ming leaned against the door and watched for a while, for some reason, his eyes became moist, probably because he really realized the parting of his friend.
Parting will inevitably be sad.
Yan Ming suddenly thought of something, went to the drawer of the coffee table in the living room and found a card, he went to the bedroom and handed it to Zhou Hao, "Here is four thousand yuan, I went to another place to find a place to live, and first settled my life." good."
Zhou Hao didn't reach out to take it, he suddenly hugged Yan Ming tightly, "Yan Ming, I love you."
Yan Ming choked up his tears and teased him, "What are you talking about! Don't seduce me, I only love money now."
Zhou Hao had no intention of letting go, so he whispered again, "Thank you."
Both of them were dumb at this moment, unable to speak. In fact, there was nothing that shocked them more than the silence at this moment.
Afterwards, Zhou Hao let go of his two arms, turned around and took out a paper bag from the drawer of the bedside table.
He handed the paper bag to Yan Ming, "The five thousand yuan I borrowed from you last time, I have money to pay you back."
"Where did you get the money?"
Zhou Hao's eyelashes condensed into a small wet fan, hanging down, he said from the bottom of his heart, "It's the money left by Sun Yiwen."
It was so difficult to speak, every word seemed to kill him. He is indifferent by nature, always likes to hide his pain, and the crowd is always arrogant. Now, when he mentions Sun Yiwen, it really hurts him to death.
This time, Yan Ming took the initiative to hug Zhou Hao. He wanted to give his friend some encouragement and comfort, and hoped that this person would forget all these sad things when he went to a new place.
"Zhou Hao, don't think about it. You will meet new people when you go to a new place. There are still many good people in this world."
Zhou Hao nodded hard, he must control these sad thoughts, he must listen to Wenwen and love himself well.
The next day, Yan Ming took half a day off and put Zhou Hao on the train to Suchuan.
One person and two cats, lonely like an unsung hero.
At the platform, Yan Ming, like a nagging parent, told Zhou Hao many things, telling him to be careful on the road and watch out for pickpockets; Go see how the hospital dormitory is, if not, just spend some money to rent a small house...
Zhou Hao nodded and agreed. After checking the ticket and entering the station, he frequently turned his head to look at Yan Ming who was standing there. Only then did he pick up his feeble steps and move slowly along with the crowd.
For unfamiliar cities, Haohao is actually a little scared.
=============
Jiang Yuqian was in a good mood all day long. He was usually meticulous in his work and could not tolerate the sand in his eyes. Today, he encountered a few subordinates who did something wrong, but he didn't even pursue it.
Several gossiping female colleagues in the office area were talking behind their backs about their boss's anomaly today. Chattering, chatting in a small area in full swing.
"What are you doing during working hours!" Cheng Jinghao suddenly appeared, and everyone returned to their positions, clattering on the keyboard.
She knew that his brother had broken up with their boss, and the nepotism they had finally got was resolved in this way. She has been a little depressed recently.
After get off work at night, Jiang Yuqian left early, and Cheng Jing was waiting for him at the door.
"Brother Yuqian." Calling him that way meant being close on purpose.
Jiang Yuqian paused, "What's the matter?"
Cheng Jinghao seemed to be having a hard time opening her mouth, and was in a dilemma, "It's nothing, just...my brother, he was sick a while ago, he was in a daze with a fever, and he kept calling your name... he can't be a lover, but he can still be a friend Well, can you visit my brother someday?"
Jiang Yuqian frowned slightly, but still complied, "Okay."
The car sped all the way to Minlin District. When it came to a red light, Jiang Yuqian pulled his tie to let himself relax a little. He pointed the steering wheel with his fingers briskly, and he could see the little lunatic right away.
Unspeakable excitement invaded him, like a boy who fell into pure first love, and all he cared about was that lovely lover.
When he got downstairs, he sorted out his emotions in the car first, and then carefully packed his suit shirt, for fear that a little wrinkle would cause him to lose his image in the mind of the little lunatic.
Finally, he climbed up to the third floor very nervously, and knocked on the door lightly.
In a few seconds, the door opened and it was Yan Ming.
"Is Zhou Hao here?" Jiang Yuqian asked politely.
Yan Ming only looked at him with mocking eyes, and said coldly, "Not here."
"When does he come back?"
The sarcasm in Yan Ming's eyes only increased, "He's not coming back."
"Not coming back?" Jiang Yuqian seemed not to understand, but still asked patiently, "Where did he move?"
Yan Ming didn't want to play this kind of puppy teasing game anymore, so he confessed everything, "Zhou Hao is gone, he left City A."
In an instant, the sky fell apart.
Jiang Yuqian lost strength instantly, "Where is he going?"
"No, he didn't tell me."
Jiang Yuqian didn't believe it, and stubbornly rushed into the bedroom of this small house, opened all the cabinets, and the clothes inside were empty. He even got down on the floor and looked under the bed to see if he was hiding here. Then, he went to the kitchen, went to the bathroom, and even, losing his mind, opened the refrigerator door.
Really gone.
The little lunatic is really gone.
"He's so ruthless, how ruthless he is!" Jiang Yuqian's eyes were scarlet, and there were faintly exposed veins on his forehead.
Yan Ming treats him indifferently, this man has no sympathy, this is what he deserves.
Jiang Yuqian went down the stairs in a daze, and then walked back to the car in a daze. The little lunatic yesterday must have done it on purpose, giving him a taste of the sweetness, and then pouring him such a big mouthful of heart-piercing bitterness. How cruel!
Maybe this is really Zhou Hao's revenge. Take revenge on a family member who once gave him hope, but then ruthlessly abandoned him in the abyss.
Of course, this is just a conjecture, no one can understand the inner world of the little lunatic, maybe he himself has never understood himself. How can a person who has been trapped in the shadows for more than 20 years have time to understand himself
What a fucking life!
The train going south, after passing through the dark tunnel, beams of light suddenly appeared, hitting the face of a certain young man present, he took out the SIM card from his mobile phone and threw it into the trash can...
The unknown future facing the sun should be bright.
