At two o'clock in the morning, the dogs are asleep, the people of Shanghai are not sleepy, and the lights of the bars on Fuxing Middle Road are flickering and people are buzzing.

Qin Zhou sat on the bar, the neckline of his jacket was squeezed by people on the dance floor, two buttons were undone, the protruding collarbone was looming, and a few locks of half-length hair were scattered on his forehead.

The friend who went to the dance floor with him also came out panting, and complained to him while ordering drinks: "Oh, you are really a rare guest, that one of yours is finally willing to let him go?"

Qin Zhou sat down on the chair without paying attention, opened a can of soft drink with one hand, bubbles overflowed along the iron ring, and said with a sneer, "It's divided."

The friend was stunned for a long time, and it took a long time to react: "What?"

Qin Zhou smiled wryly, and his friend felt that this fact was scary, so he stood up and asked for confirmation: "No way, you and Bai Zhiwang?"

The name of this man is Ding Gu, who played best with Qin Zhou when he was a child in Huangpu Shitiao Street.They went to Beijing for the test together, and Ding Gu witnessed with his own eyes the young couple's lively conversation, and he himself ate dog food miserably.Today, the pair suddenly couldn't talk anymore, and they broke up, which frightened him a lot.

The sound in the bar was too loud, and it took Qin Zhou a while to realize what Ding Gu was asking, and he said angrily, "Otherwise, who else can I share with?"

Even if the friendship is as deep as Ding Gu, he can't figure out the situation, "Why? Haven't you been fine for so many years?"

Qin Zhou was still joking: "Maybe because today is a good day, I can take advantage of the weekend to ease my mood for two days and save the annual leave."

"Bah!" Ding Gu couldn't see him making jokes. How could his friends who grew up with him not see that he was trying to hold on, and said distressedly, "No, I really don't understand. At the beginning, I was able to survive such hardships in a different place, but now I'm fine. It’s easy to stick together every day, how can we still divide? If he does something sorry, you can tell your brother, and Allah will stand up for you.”

"No." Qin Zhou shook his head, "How could he be willing."

The man is 31 this year, and he still smiles heartlessly, his eyes are hidden behind the lens, which is pitifully set off by the ambient lights of the bar.

Ding Gu made a "tsk" sound, and said in his heart that I came here to comfort people, why inexplicably felt that this was dog food: "So you have a crush on someone else?"

Qin Zhou squinted at him, "Am I blind?"

This glance made Ding Gu feel like a fool for guessing wildly: "So what's the problem?"

Qin Zhou smiled wryly, he also wanted to know what went wrong.

He accompanied Bai Zhiwang to sleep in a one-meter bed in a dormitory, lived in a hut less than [-] square meters, and stayed in a vacant room in a foreign country for four years.The young master made soup for his love to wash his hands, just because of this touching and adversity, he should grow old forever.

It's a pity that the old married couples were too used to parting, but they failed to learn how to get along day and night.People who have suffered together can't share the joy, and whoever tells it will laugh to death.

Qin Zhou smiled wryly and said, "It's just not suitable."

Ding Gu followed depressed, raised his head and took a big gulp of wine, and put the wine glass heavily on the glass table, "It's been more than ten years, isn't it inappropriate today? At this age, I still don't like it, so hurry home and talk about it." Let's talk good words, don't always toss people in the middle of the night."

"If you don't return, it's uncomfortable to watch." Qin Zhou rubbed the back of his head, feeling aggrieved, "He's moving today."

Only then did Ding Gu realize the seriousness of the problem, so he ordered another can of soda for his old classmate, and carefully pushed it to his elbow.

Speaking of it, Qin Zhou is also quite a dog. He called out his friends to borrow "wine" to relieve his worries, but he drank all the baking soda himself, because he is a member of the cultural protection team of the Academy of Fine Arts, and said that he will work overtime tomorrow to handle a batch of high-level Cultural relics, afraid of alcohol affecting work.

"How could it be like this..." Ding Gu sighed, "Although I really feel that you two are not quite right these days, I really didn't expect to be able to separate."

Qin Zhou sneered, and stretched out a finger, "Yes, it's been a year."

Ding Gu looked at him helplessly.

Qin Zhou went on to say: "The number of times we have had heart-to-heart talks over the past year can be counted on one hand..." Qin Zhou opened another can with a sneer, and sighed heavily, "If you are no longer happy when you are joking, Do we still need to continue?"

Ding Gu persuaded: "But everyone will go through these things, daily necessities, fighting and fighting, and finally can't move anymore. It's normal to be a relative and make do with it?"

"It's different." Qin Zhou said firmly.It is precisely because he has experienced the most congenial love that he knows how uncomfortable it is to run counter to each other now.

"Then what are you going to do!" Ding Gu was afraid that there would be an ugly quarrel between the two of them, and he would not be able to carry out his work at that time, "He is also in your circle, so I don't see you when you look up..."

Bai Zhiwang is also in charge of scientific research projects related to cultural relics restoration in the Academy of Sciences, and there are many overlaps with Qin Zhou's work.

There was almost no solution to this question, so Qin Zhou gulped down a gulp of soda water.Mint flavor, ice and spicy, cool in the throat finely.

"What can I do, hide first." Qin Zhou's mouth was harder than his heart, and his teeth hit the can, making a metallic sound of collision.

Ding Gu didn't believe it, and it didn't look like he wanted to hide from this posture.

What do you want to do, here are all scheming and careful thinking, when the phone rang over there.

When Qin Zhou saw the caller ID, his eyelids drooped. He could memorize this string of numbers without remarking.

It's two o'clock in the morning.Unless Bai Zhiwang was in a hurry or really missed him, it was impossible for him to make this call.

But it was two o'clock in the morning, and they only broke up in the afternoon.Qin Zhou thinks the former is more likely.

"You pick it up for me." Qin Zhou threw the phone on the table and pouted at Ding Gu.

Ding Gu shook his head like a rattle, "I don't! What did you say when you answered?"

"Just say I drank too much," Qin Zhou suddenly changed his mind, "Just report the address, don't say anything else, let's see how he responds."

Ding Gu looked at the row of non-alcoholic sparkling water in front of Qin Zhou, and was speechless: "Aren't you going to avoid him?"

"Didn't I hide?" Qin Zhou said confidently, "I only look for you when I get drunk. Isn't that called hiding? Can you blame me for the call?"

"...All right, all right, you are always right." Ding Gu scoffed at him, knocking on the drink on the table, "Will I be struck by lightning if I cheat like this?"

"If you want to chop, chop me first." Qin Zhou knocked on the can impatiently, "Hurry up."

Qin Zhou has a small face, but he is two sizes bigger than Ding Gu in both height and build.Due to his prestige, Ding Gu had no choice but to press the connect button.

"Hello? It's me, Ding Gu." Ding Gu opened his mouth without waiting for the other person to speak, and kept looking at Qin Zhou, "Then what, Qin Zhou drank too much, and it's very difficult to be a substitute driver... Yes, We are here in Xintiandi, um, the old place."

Qin Zhou pinched the cans expressionlessly, and when the call was over, the row of tin cans in front of him had all been pinched and deformed.

Qin Zhou didn't even know why he told this lie to test Bai Zhiwang, and how much he couldn't be reconciled in the lie.The best choice now is to get together and get together, and to be rejected by others is so boring.

Bai Zhi saw that at least two districts had to be crossed. Qin Zhou had just finished arguing with him, and a week later he was still in a cold war.

Besides, even if Bai Zhiwang is soft-hearted and really comes, so what?Breaking up is breaking up, and children will do this kind of unnecessary struggle of "seeing each other again".

Qin Zhou scolded himself, he really lived and went back.

"What did he say?" Qin Zhou irritably pushed the empty can towards the center of the table, rattling a lot.

"He's coming here now." Ding Gu cursed, "I don't understand you guys. Is it bothering you to show affection to me in the middle of the night after all the shares are divided?"

Qin Zhou was stunned for a while in disbelief, and then showed his first not so mournful smile tonight.

"Really?" Qin Zhou repeatedly confirmed, "He said he was coming to pick me up?"

"Well, it's already on the way." Ding Gu was annoyed, "Damn it, one dares to shout and the other dares to coax."
