The colleague who sent him to the doctor was Xuan Rui, who happened to be near the restaurant at the time.He is a member of the Painting and Calligraphy Group of the Academy of Fine Arts, two years older than Qin Zhou.Qin Zhou had just arrived, so he had to respectfully call him "Teacher Xuan".They are cooperating on a subject, so they just finished the conference call in the afternoon, but they did not expect to meet in this way in the evening.

Qin Zhou suddenly had acute appendicitis and underwent surgery.

After Xuanrui was busy at the hospital bed, Qin Zhou felt sorry and asked him to go back early. He invited a nurse over and promised that he would treat Teacher Xuan to dinner in the future.Xuan Rui really couldn't hold him back, so he had to leave first.

Qin Zhou was the only one left in the empty hospital.When he was a child, he also faced the pale light and the room like this, but the space was bigger and scarier then.

After Qin Zhou was hospitalized, he would still talk to Bai Zhiwang every night, but he didn't say anything about his operation.One is to hold your breath, and the other is to feel that it is useless for him to know, and he can come over immediately if he can't fly, so why bother to worry about each other in vain.

At that time, video calls were not very popular, and with the unstable call signal, it was difficult for Bai Zhiwang to notice the abnormality, and he still shared his emotions.

The content of the two people's sharing is very different. Qin Zhou has always reported good news but not bad news. He only talked about which batch of high-level paintings he saw or which exhibition hall he went to chat with the next curator. Lose.But Bai Zhiwang would talk about troublesome things, and even burst out a few foul words occasionally, which was completely different from his usual politeness. Qin Zhou felt that the way he said dirty words was very sexy.

With the approach of the graduation season, the autumn recruitment has also begun, and the two of them chatted and found that it was getting more and more difficult to find a job.The talent placement subsidy of the scientific research institute has been cut by more than half, and it is already difficult to get a master's degree.

Bai Zhiwang said with emotion: "Fortunately, I entered early, otherwise we might have no nest at that time."

Qin Zhou had just finished changing the hanging water, and the wound on his stomach was hurting badly, so he could only deal with it meaningfully.

Bai Zhiwang thought he was sleepy when he heard the voice, and asked, "Did I disturb you? If you don't want to hear it, let's talk tomorrow."

"No, you continue." How could Qin Zhou let go of the chance to speak?

Bai Zhiwang continued: "Du Qing, do you still remember?"

"The newcomer who went to the United States with you to study?" Qin Zhou connected him with the first half of the sentence and came to a conclusion, "Why, did he conflict with you because of the salary reduction?"

"No, that's not the case. The documents came down before their interview, and he only accepted the offer." Bai Zhiwang sighed, "He just had the idea of ​​changing jobs recently."

Qin Zhou frowned: "This is the trend in all major institutes now. Wherever he jumps, the treatment should be the same?"

Bai Zhiwang said helplessly: "That's right, so he's not going to change careers anymore, he wants to venture into a start-up company. There are a few young entrepreneurs here who have a good impression of him, and they chatted quite speculatively."

Qin Zhou frowned: "The salary was negotiated when signing the contract, so why leave? I heard you said that he is very research-minded, and he probably didn't join the job for the placement fee."

"It wasn't true at first, but his wife recently went for an examination and found out that she was several months pregnant." Bai Zhiwang explained, saying that ordinary people always have various difficulties. School district, but with his current savings and treatment, he can't buy a house in a good sector.

"The child will either continue to rent with him and get a collective account, or he can only go to a new house with a bad block. His father-in-law's family is making a fuss over this matter, so let him solve the school district problem quickly, otherwise the child will not be there. .”

Listening to these, Qin Zhou felt depressed and helpless.He and Bai Zhiwang don't need to think about children, but after all, they have seen the houses and know a lot about the sector: "However, there are also secondary and third-tier primary and secondary schools near those sectors, which are not bad."

Bai Zhiwang sighed, "Yes, there are, but the priority is always higher than families with separate households. Besides, who doesn't want their children to go to better schools?"

Qin Zhou was puzzled and said: "I just think, why make such a fuss over a school district? The economical range is there... The school you and Du Qing went to is actually not even the second echelon, so it doesn't delay You have become great people."

It should be a happy thing to be praised by your boyfriend, but Bai Zhiwang really can't be happy in this context.

Qin Zhou's experience is too polarized, and he will probably never understand how fierce competition ordinary people need to go through to become Bai Zhiwang or Du Qing.And these competitions, in the eyes of many people, can be made up for with better resources than the "second echelon".

The parents of the children will continue to work hard for this, and devote themselves to the vulgar and helpless realities.

This made Bai Zhiwang unable to talk about it. His small boat has its own small world, where it is carefree.He couldn't bear it.

"What's for dinner?" Bai Zhiwang finally chose to change the subject abruptly, "It's a little hot here."

Qin Zhou clutched the painful incision and said "Yellow Fish Noodles", suddenly thinking that it has been a long time since they had a deep conversation on a topic.

And Bai Zhiwang just wanted to protect him from the trivialities of life.

Bai Zhiwang talked much less frequently about troublesome things, they always brought unsatisfactory life, and Bai Zhiwang was not willing to let Qin Zhou be contaminated with these.

Gradually, text messages became very monotonous, and even I would be taken aback when I saw it, and then asked routinely: What did you eat today?As long as the other party replies with "hamburger" or "raw fried", life seems to be okay.

This is an effective means of avoiding differences, but it is also the beginning of losing the desire to share.

Qin Zhou's physique is very good. After the stitches were removed and he was discharged from the hospital, he immediately returned to the Academy of Fine Arts to catch up with work.

He found that Xuanrui seemed to treat him differently.

In the past, they would only talk to each other when they met in a meeting. Now, Xuanrui didn't know whether it was the courage to be sent to the hospital or what. He began to call Qin Zhou "Zhou Zhou" affectionately, and he would have dinner with Qin Zhou from time to time.

At first, Qin Zhou thanked him for helping him, and since he was an alumnus, he invited his brother to have two western meals and afternoon tea. As a result, Xuan Rui became more and more careless when he spoke, which annoyed Qin Zhou.

Qin Zhou didn't leave any room for it, and said directly, "Mr. Xuan, you can just call me Xiao Qin from now on. Porridge porridge is too nasty. I'm afraid my boyfriend will be jealous."

After Qin Zhou found out about this matter, he didn't worry about it anymore. There were too many people chasing him since he was a child, so he couldn't care about everyone.

He wholeheartedly waited for winter, because Christmas was the day when Bai Zhiwang returned to China.

On the day her boyfriend landed, Qin Zhou deliberately asked for three days off, turned his work phone to silent, and ran to the airport to pick him up.

Qin Zhou's eyes lit up when he saw Bai Zhiwang walking towards him with a suitcase.This time, both of them had mixed feelings, and for a while there was nothing else to say, they just held hands and looked at teary eyes.

After a long time, Qin Zhou suddenly jumped into Bai Zhiwang's arms.Bai Zhiwang held him firmly and hugged him tightly.

"It's light." Bai Zhiwang complained with a smile.

Qin Zhou nestled in Bai Zhiwang's neck, his nose sore unconsciously, "Thinking of you."

Falling in love is indeed easy to make people stupid. When Qin Zhou was single, he would definitely scold "see no evil" when he saw a person who showed his affection in full view when he was single. It would be his turn, but he became unscrupulous.

Bai Zhiwang held his hand without saying a word: "Then let's go home."
