we are all idiots

A small episode did not make the two of them awkward, but they became closer because they knew that the other party liked men. They found a noodle shop to fill their stomachs casually. Seeing that it was still early, they found it nearby. Go in and sit down and have a drink or two.

"Have you talked?" After two glasses of wine, He Xiao asked Lu Qiulin.

Have you talked about it?Lu Qiulin thought of Qin Lei, had he talked with Qin Lei, probably not, at most it was a relationship of friends with benefits.

Seeing him shaking his head, He Xiao smiled, the bar was not well lit, but Lu Qiulin could clearly see the bitterness overflowing from the corner of his mouth.Lu Qiulin thought of what he said earlier when he had a crush on someone for the first time, and it didn't seem to be the truth.

He Xiao took a sip of wine, his eyes fell on a point in the void, and he said slowly: "At that time, I was just in college, he was the one who stalked me, and it was he who let me know that I am different from most people. When I made up my mind to be with him, he suddenly left the country, and there was no news about him... He just came back not long ago, and he said that he came back to get married. He asked someone to send me an invitation card. The bride was from our college days Junior girl, she is very beautiful, and the two are a perfect match. Brother, do you think I should go or not?"

He Xiao almost laughed out loud at the end, his smile was full of sarcasm, he looked at Lu Qiulin, as if he really hoped to get a useful answer from Lu Qiulin.

Lu Qiulin said: "If I were you, I would go, because I want to get a reason from the past. The reason is not to commemorate, but to end. No matter what the reason is, after you get it, I will give you gifts and blessings. Turn around and leave, and forget about each other from now on, each will be safe."

He Xiao clapped his hands, "Senior brother is a senior brother, he thinks about problems more clearly and refreshingly than others!"

Lu Qiulin lowered his head to drink, is he transparent?If it was really transparent, he wouldn't have allowed Qin Lei to entangle him forever. After all, he still couldn't let it go.

After drinking a few more glasses, the two chatted about work, and Lu Qiulin said, "I want to go abroad."

"Where?"

"Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, and maybe Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Turkey...," Lu Qiulin said, "I think it's not enough for us to just refer to the literature. We need to go to the local area to really understand, otherwise I don't feel at ease."

He Xiao pondered for a while, and said: "In fact, the teacher said so when he was in good health, but after the teacher fell ill, the higher-ups withdrew the allocated research funds. To tell you the truth, we have no money now. Our money In addition to eating every day, even the internship fees of the group of students can’t be paid, fortunately, the purpose of the students is not for money, otherwise this research can’t go on at all.”

Lu Qiulin shook his head, "There is no need to give me money, I will pay all the expenses myself."

He Xiao looked at him thoughtfully, Lu Qiulin straight to the point: "He Xiao, you know my situation, the professor gave me this opportunity, I am very grateful to him, if I can't do well, I'm sorry for him, and I'm even more sorry for me Own."

He Xiao was silent for a while, then nodded, "Okay, I will discuss it with the teacher. Although the teacher is not optimistic now, but after all, he is still there, and the people above will give him a little face. Don't worry, it won't be true. Let you pay for it yourself."

The two sat for a while and planned to go back. Lu Qiulin didn't have a car, and He Xiao couldn't drive after drinking, so he stopped a taxi at the door.After getting in the car, He Xiao proposed to send Lu Qiulin back first. Lu Qiulin's rental house was nearby, so he didn't refuse.

After arriving downstairs, Lu Qiulin opened the door and got out of the car, He Xiao also followed, Lu Qiulin looked at him, not knowing what he wanted to do, He Xiao went around the back of the car and walked in front of him, saying: "Brother, what am I doing today?" I formally apologize to you for the late incident, I thought about it all night and felt that I was still too frivolous, so don't take it to heart."

Lu Qiulin smiled softly, "It's serious, if I really take it to heart, can I go out drinking with you?"

"That's right," He Xiao also laughed, "It's my villainous heart, so brother, you should rest early and see you tomorrow."

"Okay, you go back to bed early, too."

Lu Qiulin went upstairs absent-mindedly. When he saw the person standing against the wall at the door of his house, he sighed in his heart and didn't want to say anything.

He took out the key to open the door, Qin Lei stared at him, "I checked, you arrived at City S by train at [-]:[-] noon today, where have you been since this afternoon? Where is your luggage?"

Lu Qiulin was startled, he almost forgot that his luggage was still in He Xiao's car.He avoided it and said lightly: "I brought my luggage back this afternoon."

"You fart!" Qin Lei growled, "I've been standing here since noon, where did you come back from?"

Lu Qiulin turned his head and glanced at him. He was wearing shirts, woolen sweaters, casual jackets, and a long thick woolen coat. He didn't even wear a down jacket in such a cold day. His ears and neck were red from the cold, and his lips were blue. Zi, the exposed hand was abnormally white. Lu Qiulin wanted to scold him, "You need grace but not temperature", but looking at him like this, he couldn't say anything.

He opened the door and walked in, saying, "Come in."

Lu Qiulin turned on all the lights in the house, turned up the temperature of the air conditioner, and went to the kitchen to boil water.He opened the refrigerator, but there were no usable ingredients in it, so he picked out two eggs and a piece of luncheon meat. He sliced ​​the luncheon meat, poured oil into the pan to heat up, fried the eggs, fried the luncheon meat, and then boiled the water under it. In 10 minutes, a simple bowl of white water noodles with no green leaves is ready.

He put the noodles on the table, Qin Lei was sitting on the sofa looking at him, his eyes were bright and dark, he couldn't tell what he was thinking, Lu Qiulin put the noodles on the table, went to get the chopsticks, just turned around, Qin Lei Hug him from behind.

Qin Lei buried his face in the hollow of his shoulder, took a deep breath, and said in a muffled voice, "Have you been drinking? Are you with that man downstairs just now? Who is he?"

Lu Qiulin pulled out his chopsticks, broke away from the arms around his waist and walked towards the living room, "A friend, let's eat first."

Qin Lei grabbed his wrist, and his voice was not as tough as usual, but rather aggrieved: "What kind of friend? Why haven't I met him before? Why did he send you back?"

Lu Qiulin had no expression on his face, and his voice was calm, and he replied mechanically: "Ordinary friends, we just met, we take a taxi together, my house is close, there is no such thing as whether to send or not."

Lu Qiulin's appearance made Qin Lei feel unspeakably uncomfortable, and he asked again: "What did you just say?"

Lu Qiulin covered Qin Lei's hand, and slowly wiped it off his wrist. His tone was so calm that Qin Lei felt strange: "Qin Lei, let's end it. It really doesn't make any sense for us to do this. It’s better to get together and leave, otherwise, the next time you will see my body, Lu Qiulin.”

Lu Qiulin raised his eyes and looked straight at Qin Lei, "You know I can do it."
