When Bai Zhiwang entered the door, he found someone waiting at the door. He was a familiar face, and he was the team member who had just chatted with him in the lobby.

The visitor's name is Du Qing. He has been in the hospital for more than three years and looks very refined.Bai Zhiwang remembered that the first time he met him was on a rainy day. Du Qing came to the interview wearing a soaked shirt and said that he was sorry that he was late because he accompanied his wife to see the dentist.At that time, Bai Zhiwang took a special look at him, because this person's face was very young, and it was difficult for people to think that he was married.

It was later that everyone found out that Du Qing had a green plum and got married early, and it was said that he envied the happiness of others.

The current Du Qingyuan is not as vigorous as when he just graduated, and his energy and spirit have been worn away by something.

Ordinary people inevitably have a lot of anxiety, and Bai Zhiwang did not dare to inquire deeply about the group members' routine concern for their privacy: "Are you tired recently?"

Du Qing shook his head, "No."

"Have a good rest." Bai Zhiwang didn't point him out, but just asked, "Are you waiting for me?"

"Well, I want to ask the boss for a leave." Du Qing handed out a form, "The director said that you can sign it, and I want to go back to Shanghai."

As usual, Bo Zhiwang asked the reason first, and Du Qing replied: "Something happened to my father-in-law, I have to go back and deal with it."

Du Qing was the first batch to be sent to Dunhuang, and it has been more than half a month now.Although everyone is mentally prepared before signing up for this project, it is really difficult to guarantee that there will be an accident and you will have to leave.

To be the team leader, you have to be sympathetic, and Bai Zhiwang quickly finished signing, and asked Du Qing to remember to go to the OA system and then report to the personnel department.After Du Qing finished answering, he went back to the house to get the suitcase, and packed it while buying tickets.

As soon as Bai Zhiwang looked away, the phone started to vibrate. It seems that this door cannot be entered today.

Bai Zhiwang clicked to answer, and heard a long-lost loud voice shout: "Xiao Bai! You are not mean enough, you have been here in Dunhuang for so long, why haven't you spoken to brother? Forgot about me, right?"

Bai Zhiwang knew who it was when he heard the news, and smiled apologetically: "How could it be, it is impossible to forget Old Brother Liu if you forget anyone. I have been on the field all the time and have no time to rest. I plan to find you on vacation. Drinking."

Lao Liu was the driver that Baizhi contacted when he visited the Northwest Great Ring Road before. Now he no longer accepts the business of individual travelers from Qiongyou. He finds it troublesome. The check-in Weibo became popular, the team grew stronger and stronger, and "Old Liu" became "Boss Liu".

Bai Zhiwang still called him the same old way, probably because everyone knew him from Weishi, so this friendship has extra meaning. He has been in touch with him intermittently for more than ten years, and Bai Zhiwang and Qin Zhou went to eat together after they got married. Boss Liu's wedding reception.

Boss Liu said: "Don't look for time, come here now. I just finished hosting a school entrance banquet for my child, and I still have some wine and food left. I will give you an hour, and you have to crawl here."

Bai Zhiwang smiled wryly: "Okay, I'll see if I can get a taxi."

Lao Liu's car dealership has never moved. His house is just opposite the garage, about half an hour's drive from Shazhou Hotel.When Bai Zhi saw it, he found that the lights in the store had been turned off, and the rolling shutter door of only one room was still open, so he went in directly.

The old-fashioned flat is spacious and bright, with a row of awards hanging on the wall and a woman watching TV in the yard.

"Little life is quite comfortable." Bai Zhiwang handed Lao Liu a box when he sat down, "This is a silk scarf for my sister-in-law, and here are the cigarettes I brought for you."

Old Liu Bai glanced at him: "You are watertight."

"Isn't this an apology to you?" Bo Zhiwang poured himself a glass, the punishment was too fast and it was so spicy, "How did you know that I came to Gansu?"

"You still have the nerve to say it?" Lao Liu also poured it full, and the white porcelain cup made a crisp sound when it touched him, "Brother, I talk to you about all major life events. You didn't even tell me you broke up?"

For a moment, Bai Zhiwang didn't know which question to explain first.

For Bai Zhiwang 13 years ago, either resignation or breakup was impossible, but now both are true.

Bai Zhiwang had no choice but to continue to make amends. After finishing the fine, he asked angrily, "Who told you this?"

Old Liu piled the porcelain cups on the table, "Qin Zhou."

Bai Zhiwang paused his pouring hand, his brows slightly frowned.

Lao Liu noticed the change in his expression, and deliberately changed his tone and said, "He has a much more conscience than you. He came to my place just after cleaning up the hotel."

Bai Zhiwang's refusal to come is not because he has no conscience, but because he is timid because of his closeness to his hometown.Some people dare not remember what they lost, while others will keep using it to comfort themselves. Bai Zhiwang belongs to the former, but he doesn't know why Qin Zhou came, so he can't let it go?

Old Liu saw that he was absent-minded, so he knocked on the table to remind him: "He just left, why don't you go after him?"

Bai Zhiwang knew it was a joke: "It's not too late to chase."

"Yo?" Lao Liu patted him on the shoulder meanly, "There is something wrong with you."

Bai Zhiwang smiled and said nothing.

Old Liu sneered at him: "Since there is such a situation, why should we share it?"

Bai Zhiwang raised his head and poured down a glass of wine, the bitter liquid tasted like sprinkling chili peppers in his throat: "It's my fault to break up."

Old Liu looked at him suspiciously. He shook his head and said, "I probably let him down. Take this opportunity of this project and see if we can remedy it."

Old Liu was still very strange, he didn't move his chopsticks all the time, so that the peanuts and edamame in front of him lost the function of appetizers: "You two are very interesting, Qin Zhou just told me so."

Bai Zhiwang opened his eyes wide, looking at him questioningly.

"He also said that the reason for breaking up was because he was not good. Tsk, don't believe me, I didn't miss a single word. I lied to you that I was a grandson." Old Liu understood when he said this, and slapped him hard on his shoulder. Fist, "I'm cooperating with you young couple to put aside my show, right?"

"What else did he say?"

"It's nothing else, it's just like 'separate it'. Hey, I don't believe he can let it go so quickly."

Bai Zhiwang shook his head lightly, "Not necessarily."

Old Liu didn't hear clearly, and when asked to repeat it, he said nothing.

This round of drinking didn't end until almost ten o'clock. Bai Zhiwang was very good at drinking, he could drink as much as eight Qin Zhous, so Lao Liu didn't bother to send him away at all, and let him go by himself, he couldn't die.

Not used to walking on the empty streets, Bai Zhiwang came out to take a taxi and stood under the street lamp.There was a public telephone booth next to the lamp, and Bai Zhiwang waited for a long time without seeing a car.

I don't know if he was overwhelmed by what Old Liu said just now, but he suddenly wanted to hear Qin Zhou's voice.

It takes a one-yuan coin to dial in the phone booth, and he puts it in, and dials the number after hearing the ding-dong sound.

Someone answered the phone within a few rings, and Qin Zhou's voice was soft.As long as he is about to fall asleep or just after taking a bath, there will be this movement, sticky, which makes Bai Zhiwang want to spoil it.

With the identity of an unfamiliar number, it is impossible for Bai Zhiwang to let go of his shameless imagination and keep silent.

Qin Zhou asked several times: "Hello, who is it?"

Bai Zhiwang took a deep breath, and suddenly heard the other party say, "Is it Bai Zhiwang?"

His heartbeat seemed to have stopped, and Bai Zhiwang didn't know how he could tell that he was shocked just by taking a breath, no matter what the explanation was, it was enough to ignite a fire in his heart, scorching hot.

Qin Zhou said, "You've been drinking."

Bai Zhiwang pointed at the glass on the phone booth, and said "hmm" very softly: "Just two glasses, not much."

"It's so late, why are you still outside?" To Bai Zhiwang, two cups were like drinking water, so Qin Zhou changed the question.

Bai Zhiwang yelled "Small boat", but he didn't know if the other side heard it: "Don't put it down so quickly, can you?"

There was a long silence in the receiver, and stray cats on the side of the road rubbed against the phone booth.

Bai Zhiwang waved at it through the glass, and heard Qin Zhou's trembling voice: "What do you mean?"

Before Qin Zhou could hear anything, he was interrupted by another call, and there was a sudden busy tone from the receiver.

Facing the disconnected phone, Bai Zhiwang could talk nonsense soberly, "Xiao Chuan is sorry, can you wait for me, maybe I can catch up with you within one step...

Anyway, good night.

After hanging up the phone, Qin Zhou stared at the previous strange call for a long time.After Bai Zhiwang didn't say anything for a while, he was cut off by Professor Song's work call. Qin Zhou said "hmm" for a long time, and only remembered one sentence.

——Bo Zhiwang told him not to let go so quickly.

This is drinking too much?blur?Or did you talk to someone about yourself at night?

Qin Zhou stared at the suitcase in a daze, and his mind was still in chaos after almost half an hour.

It was getting dark, and he finally remembered that he had to take Meng Xuan out to familiarize himself with the surrounding environment.The two were wandering around in the office building. On the surface, he looked like a normal person. In fact, the little girl didn't know what he said or asked, and she answered mechanically with her mouth.After returning from shopping, he should have washed his face first, but he threw the rag into the sink in a daze.

What is this called.

Qin Zhou fell down on the bed in frustration, ready to go to sleep after checking WeChat, but unexpectedly, the phone froze and flickered.He frantically tapped the screen, but accidentally brought up the photo album.

Qin Zhou has changed his mobile phone three times. The chat software has changed from OICQ to QQ and then to WeChat. Every time, he will backup the photo of the two of them to the new mobile phone, and keep it for 13 years.

Thanks to technology for giving the phone a bunch of new bells and whistles, such as the "That Year Today" album collection that was automatically generated when he opened the photo.Qin Zhou's mobile phone backup will help him remember things that Qin Zhou wanted to forget, and even draw out a separate folder to remind him, which is full of bits and pieces between him and Bai Zhiwang.

Qin Zhou hesitated for a while and opened a file.

It was recorded after they returned to Beijing from Gansu.The pure college students who have just established a relationship, blushing and beating like glue, relying on the same campus to stick together every day, impulsively and youngly exploring each other's bodies carefully and completely.

In fact, there is no picture on the screen at all, it is full of dark night and noise, only the young voices and ambiguous movements of two people can be heard.

At that time, Bai Zhiwang was lying next to Qin Zhou's ear, and every sound was full of enthusiasm, "I bought you a gift, put it on?"

Qin Zhou was blindfolded by the school uniform, gritted his teeth and said, "Is it time to wear the ring?"

Bai Zhiwang caressed the back of his hand indiscriminately, put a plain ring on him from behind, and then did some things that even animals would shake their heads when they saw him, which made Qin Zhou's voice suddenly rise.

"Untie me if you have the ability..." Qin Zhou panted, his voice changed, "I'm X."

Bai Zhiwang bit his earlobe, hooked and said: "This sentence, say it upside down."

After a good lesson, Qin Zhou finally gave in, and weakly followed suit, begging for mercy.

Only then did Bai Zhiwang let him go, and warmly wished: "Happy birthday, Xiaochuan."

It's hard to listen now, Qin Zhou quickly turned off the phone and threw it aside, scolding Bai Zhiwang with a low smile.

At the beginning, a bouquet of roses was exchanged for a kiss. They persisted in love for 13 years, but failed to support this bouquet of flowers.But he still misses him.

Looking at the ring on his middle finger, Qin Zhou couldn't smile, but his eyes were a little wet.
