Today's Qin Zhou can be said to be battle-tested and unscrupulous, and he would even bump into a deer for a subtle love story.

[Wait. ]

Qin Zhou told Bai Zhiwang what to say, then turned off his cell phone, got up, put on his coat, put on his slippers and went out.

While waiting for the elevator, he freed his hands to look at the screen, only to see Bai Zhiwang asking him: [What are you waiting for? ]

Qin Zhou didn't answer, just typed with a smile: [I tell you to wait.where are you now? ]

Before the WeChat message was sent, the elevator door opened, and a colleague walked out from inside.

"Going out for a walk?" a colleague asked.

Before Qin Zhou could take back the smile he had when chatting with Bai Zhiwang, "Go talk to the team leader about something."

"I just saw him, he was smoking outside." The colleague went back to his room after greeting him, and waved him good night.

"Hey." Qin Zhou immediately got into the elevator, pushed down to the next floor, and ran outside clutching his coat.

Scolding while running, don't you know if you have a bad voice?I usually don't want to let him smell it, but he's addicted to it!

There is a figure under the crescent moon in the desert, and the cigarette in his hand is glowing orange, flickering on and off, emitting wisps of blue smoke.A person standing alone in the sand always looks a little lonely.

"Bai Zhiwang." Qin Zhou stepped forward and called him.

Bai Zhiwang was taken aback, and when he turned his head, the sad expression on his face disappeared, and Qin Zhou saw it.

Qin Zhou asked, "Why do you also smoke?"

"It's a little boring." Bai Zhiwang used it to relieve his depression after breaking up. He didn't have a big addiction, and he stopped smoking after being told. He just put it between his fingertips and said, "I just finished calling my mother."

Qin Zhou fears this "mother-in-law" more than his own parents.He froze immediately, and asked tentatively, "What did she say?"

"She asked me when I would return to Shanghai, and how I was looking for a new job." Bai Zhiwang rubbed his hands on the cigarette, "Also asked, are you in Dunhuang?"

Qin Zhou said "hmm" and waited for the next sentence.

"I said you were here, and she said she wanted to chat with you." Bai Zhiwang relayed the truth, "I thought it would be inappropriate, so I didn't agree."

Qin Zhou was silent, stretched out his left hand, and hooked his fingers.

Bai Zhiwang realized that he was asking for cigarettes, and didn't want to give them: "It's so late, please smoke less."

Qin Zhou didn't speak, and moved his fingers twice.Bai Zhiwang had no choice but to take out the cigarette case from his trouser pocket and put it in his palm.

Qin Zhou didn't roll out the cigarettes, but put the whole box into his pocket.It was only then that Bai Zhiwang realized that he didn't want cigarettes, but Chagang, afraid that his pharyngitis would be smoked.

The ex-boyfriend shouldn't have this privilege, but Bai Zhiwang didn't expose it and accepted it happily.

After confiscating the cigarette case, Qin Zhou said, "Does she know we'll share?"

"Well, I told her a long time ago." Bai Zhiwang also looked up at the sky.

Qin Zhou smiled wryly and said, "Is she much better?"

"Fortunately, it's much better, but..." Bai Zhiwang was full of worry, the words stopped here, and the other person understood, "Oh."

Qin Zhou didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only pat him on the shoulder.

Bai Zhiwang said: "She wants to move back to her hometown by herself recently, but I can't persuade her."

"Ah? Why?" Qin Zhou didn't understand.

For the convenience of medical treatment for the elderly, the small house that Bai Zhiwang bought ten years ago has not been sold, and Guo Min lives in it.After the young couple separated, Bai Zhiwang moved back there to live with her.

But Guo Min had never been in Shanghai before, could not understand the dialect, and had no friends here.The small house in the [-]s had high floors and no elevators. Her legs and feet were not good, and she only went out once a day, and she was almost suffocated.

Whenever this is mentioned, Bai Zhiwang feels particularly guilty: "I'm not at home with her all the time, she's bored, and clamors to go back to the compound to find her old sisters."

Qin Zhou didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "It's true that you have been on a business trip for too long this time, so please coax me more when you return to Shanghai."

Bai Zhiwang said helplessly, "Yes, I'm coaxing."

The dark blue background of the sky is dotted with a Milky Way, the brightest star hangs just overhead, and the moon is invisible.Sitting on the sand pile has a sunken touch, and the particles bury your fingers, which is wet and cool.

"You didn't lie to me, there really is no moon." Qin Zhou said this out of time.

"When have I lied to you?" Bai Zhiwang asked.

Qin Zhou thought for a while: "When we broke up."

Bai Zhiwang tightened his fingertips and clenched them into a fist on his leg.

Qin Zhou went on to say: "Then you said, 'It's a complete break at this point', let me not be reluctant."

He didn't dare to look at Bai Zhiwang's face, but he could guess that his eyebrows should be knotted.

Bai Zhi looked at the stars in the south, and looked in the direction of Qin Zhou's hometown as he did when he first met: "I really thought so."

"What about now?" Qin Zhou turned his head slowly and looked at his profile.

"Now?" Bai Zhiwang lowered his head, felt the hot gaze on the right, and filled his eyes with his eyes, "Now I find that I can't give up at all."

Qin Zhou's Adam's apple rolled disobediently, and his body temperature rose rapidly in the cold night.

It seems that the dog-headed military commander B. is really good at speaking. Qin Zhou racked his brains and didn't know what to say, but a ringing of the bell saved him.

"Your phone is ringing." Qin Zhou pointed to the flashing screen in Bai Zhiwang's pocket.

Bai Zhiwang took out his mobile phone and found that it was Guo Min's video call. He didn't think about avoiding Qin Zhou, so he answered it in front of him.

"Mom? Didn't you finish talking just now? What's the matter?" Bai Zhiwang spoke softly to Guo Min. Although he usually spoke softly, being a leader is still different from being a son.

"...Qin Zhou? He is here, but I don't know if it's convenient for Fang to answer the phone." Bai Zhiwang covered the microphone and camera, turned his head and mouthed Qin Zhou, asking if he would like to talk now.

Qin Zhou nodded inexplicably.

"It seems that my mother really misses you." Bai Zhiwang let go of his voice, handed him the phone, and joked: "She still wants to see you, answer?"

This word will definitely spread to the other side, if Qin Zhou doesn't answer, it's really not polite.But he really cared about Guo Min's body, so he took the phone over without hesitation.

The screen turned to his eyes, and the woman in the video seemed to be a few years older than the last time he met.When she smiled, she was exactly the same as Bai Zhiwang, and she could see the beauty of her youth from her bones, but unfortunately, the cruel years did not leave her much grace.

Qin Zhou looked at her and was about to call "Mom" out of habit, but he didn't feel right when the words came to his lips.The oblique emotions made people feel inexplicably bitter, so he changed his tune and said, "Hello, Aunt Guo."
