Zhou Hao came out of A Central Hospital and ran into Jiang Yuqian's mother. She got out of a white car just in time.
"Hello." A gentle lady in a white dress and black skirt with stiletto heels.
Zhou Hao stood still and nodded to her, "Auntie, hello."
"Find a place to sit."
The two randomly found a nearby cafe and sat face to face.
Mother Jiang looked around at Zhou Hao and smiled, "Is it Zhou Hao? Is it in Kangren Hospital? Which department?"
Zhou Hao knew that she had already investigated herself in the seemingly small talk conversation.
"Endocrinology."
Mother Jiang stirred the small spoon in her hand, her eyes became sharp, but not obvious, "It seems that she came to my house once before, it's been too long, I can't remember."
"Well, I've been there once before."
"I won't make detours with you. You and Yuqian are still young and have not established a foothold in society. At this time, people's values may not be completely fixed. Let's put it this way, you may make detours, but as a parent, I have the right to Remind my own son, can you understand my heart as a mother?"
Zhou Haoyin's hands under the table clasped each other's palms, he stared blankly at the woman across from him, "I, I will treat him well."
Jiang's mother shook her head and smiled, "You still don't understand me. No mother would like her son to do such a mess. If your parents were still alive, they would think the same way."
Zhou Hao suddenly raised his head, his eyes dimmed, and wanted to argue with her, but when he saw the woman's meticulously cared for hands, he lowered his head cowardly.
"There is only one child in our family, Yuqian, he should find a girl of the right family, get married and have a son to be his father, instead of..." Jiang's mother tried to persuade, "Don't be surprised by what I say next, I will not allow my son I'm ashamed to be with a man."
Zhou Hao was a little angry. He stood up, put down a red banknote, and turned to leave.
"Zhou Hao, can you understand my heart as a mother?"
Zhou Hao paused, then turned around, "I don't want to understand."
"If you need help at work in the future, you can come to me. But Auntie, please, let my son go."
Zhou Hao wandered aimlessly on the street, the scorching heat was hard to dissipate, and he didn't feel the slightest chill in the evening. He entered a beef noodle shop on the side of the road and ordered a bowl of the spiciest.
All around are some young people dressed in cool clothes, talking loudly and boldly, and they are really carefree. Zhou Hao's beef noodles were ready and placed in front of him.
The red chili oil is poured on the noodles, the stimulating visual effect makes the mouth salivate.
Zhou Hao picked up the chopsticks and swallowed it with his head down. It was so hot that he choked his nose with tears. He ate more and more vigorously, and his tear glands burst into tears like a bank burst.
No one would notice this man's crying, they would only think that the noodles in his bowl were too spicy.
The phone in Zhou Hao's pocket rang, buzzing and vibrating. He ignored it and continued to eat the noodles soaked in spicy oil.
The phone was still ringing, Zhou Hao finally pressed the answer button.
"Are you late from get off work today? Why haven't you come back yet?"
Zhou Hao suppressed the crying in his throat, "Well... I'm late from get off work."
"What about you?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone.
"Haohao, did something happen to you? Where are you now?"
"No... I'm eating noodles, it's too spicy, the noodles are too spicy..."
"I ask you, where are you now? Talk!"
“Beef noodle shop next to the TV tower.”
Jiang Yuqian, who was driving fast, instinctively guessed what happened to the little madman today, he found the shop, and took the little madman home.
As soon as they got home, the two kissed frantically together, bumping and tossing to the big bed in the bedroom, like glue, inseparable, wishing to embed themselves in each other's body.
Who is in charge of this love affair? Is it one of them
No, probably no one. It is desire itself, it is love itself.
Zhou Hao uttered the wildest cry in his life, which was the most straightforward voice in his heart. He loved this man on top of him.
Afterwards, they leaned shoulder to shoulder on the head of the bed. There was a thick smell of semen in the air.
"Haohao, don't go to Africa, okay?" Jiang Yuqian coaxed in a low voice.
"All signed up."
Jiang Yuqian turned his face away and looked at him hurtfully, "You don't have to go even if you signed up, I beg you, don't go."
"I have to go."
"Then you put me in the suitcase, put me in it, and you take me away."
Zhou Hao didn't hear Jiang Yuqian's near collapse, he thought it was a joke, he gently licked the man's lips, "Don't make trouble, you are such a big man, you can't pretend at all."
After a long time, the silent Jiang Yuqian said, "If you go, let's forget about it."
Zhou Hao met the man's sharp eyes, and he could tell that the man was serious this time.
"Why? I don't want it."
With scarlet eyes, Jiang Yuqian asked him with a smile, "Then are you still going?"
Zhou Hao held his breath, slightly avoiding the man's sharp gaze.
Jiang Yuqian stood up suddenly, with a daze on his face, he suddenly smiled again, "Then let's break up."
Zhou Hao also stood up, and tried his best to hug Jiang Yuqian tightly, but Jiang Yuqian pushed him away fiercely.
"You've never thought about me. You only think about yourself. How happy you are. Zhou Hao, I'm also a human being, and my mother will be sad too! My mother went to look for you today, didn't she? You Sad, isn't it? I am your man, you would rather hide than tell me. Zhou Hao, sometimes I really doubt, do you love me? Have you ever loved me!?"
Zhou Hao's eyes were red, and a word came out of his mouth, "Love."
Jiang Yuqian reached out and touched the right cheek of the little lunatic, and then pinched it hard, "But, you love your self-esteem more, don't you?"
He let go of his hand, and a clear and red pinch mark suddenly appeared on Zhou Hao's right cheek.
This night, Jiang Yuqian moved out without taking anything.
While changing shoes by the shoe cabinet, Zhou Hao, who lost his soul, suddenly rushed over and hugged him from behind.
"Qianqian, I just want to go out and see."
Jiang Yuqian brushed the little lunatic's hand away without saying a word.
"I will definitely come back, so are you still waiting for me?"
Jiang Yuqian turned his back to him and said, "Don't wait, I will try if I meet the right one."
Zhou Hao's heart really hurt at that moment, he said in a daze, "I am the one who should go, and this house belongs to you."
Jiang Yuqian didn't look back, he said in a deep voice, "You stay here first, I have a place to go."
"The money owed to you has not been paid yet."
"Let's talk about it later, it's not much, it doesn't matter if you don't pay it back."
After Jiang Yuqian finished speaking, he left without looking back.
A week before leaving, Zhou Hao went to the securities company on Xinjing Road to find Xiao Sun according to the address Xiao Sun had given him. Xiao Sun was dressed in a suit and looked good. He pushed open the glass door of the unit and walked over to Zhou Hao. His brows were still the handsome boy back then, but with a little more confidence of a mature man.
Zhou Hao smiled from the bottom of his heart. He waved to Xiao Sun and told Xiao Sun that he was going to Africa as a medical volunteer.
Xiao Sun gave him a blessing: everything is safe.
He went back to his hometown in Qingjiang County, plowed the fields with a hoe under the scorching sun, and sowed cucumber and tomato seeds in the vegetable fields with his own hands. He told his grandparents that his eldest grandson was going to study abroad and would not be able to return home for several years.
When he left, he left the two fat guys behind and put 30,000 yuan under the soup bowl on the dining table.
When he returned to City A, there was only one night left from the day he left. Jiang Yuqian still didn't come back. Zhou Hao wiped the inside and outside of the house clean, and ironed the clothes of the two people in the cupboard. The shaving water was almost used up, and the toothbrush should be changed. Sleeping sheets also need to be washed.
There are too many chores to do, and he can't finish them anyway.
Zhou Hao squandered the last bit of strength, he slumped on the ground, he finally couldn't hold back and called the man.
The phone beeped for about ten seconds, and was finally hung up by the other party.
The next day, the 32nd batch of Chinese medical team to Tanzania went to Africa.
Zhou Hao pressed the phone that couldn't be reached no matter what, and left the see-off team with mixed joy and sorrow. A total of 58 people aided Africa, and the remaining 57 people were sent off by family members and friends, except him.
His sight was attracted by a kissing couple in the front right, what a passionate love, there was no one else around, only each other in his eyes.
Zhou Hao tightened his grip on the handle of the suitcase, which contained his clothes, money, and the notebook with the maple leaf pattern.
The book contains the beautiful life he personally recorded, including the man who didn't answer the phone.
In the ten years he has known the man, from the initial quarrel to the present, time has slowly sculpted them into a gentle appearance. How good it is, how good it is to live like this.
But he just wanted to fool around.
He understood that the ego in his bones had hurt the man, and maybe once he left, the two of them would be irreparable.
=============
In the meeting room on the top floor, Jiang Yuqian's phone kept ringing. The dull ringtone of the mobile phone worried everyone's heart. They looked at each other in blank dismay, not daring to breathe loudly, for fear of accidentally bumping into the muzzle of a gun.
Because, everyone can see that the boss is in a bad mood.
"Why are you standing there in a daze? Continue talking about you." Jiang Yuqian changed his sitting position, his posture was more casual, but his face was still stern.
The manager of the marketing department let out a sigh of relief and concentrated on his report.
The phone rang for about a minute before it stopped.
"... This game is mainly on the official account and Weibo..."
Jiang Yuqian stood up suddenly, "This is the end of the meeting." Then he ran out of the meeting room crazily, went downstairs, picked up the car, and galloped all the way to the airport.
Standing in the center of the huge terminal, Jiang Yuqian looked back and forth at the passing passengers. Their unfamiliar faces, near or far, were like a shock wave, slowly shattering his hopes.
He was still one step too late, the little lunatic had already left.
The man looked at a loss, like a child.
He came after him now because he wanted to tell the little lunatic that what he said that night was all angry words. He only liked them Haohao in his life. He also checked a lot of information on Tanzania on the Internet. Stupid little lunatic...
Jiang Yuqian dragged his crushed heavy body, left this place, and drove home. Pulling over halfway, he couldn't hold back anymore, leaned on the steering wheel, and cried uncontrollably.
