Chapter 39

Guo Min was completely out of danger and discharged from the hospital in the spring of the second year. It stands to reason that everything should get better and better-the two of them have completely ended the difficult foreign country, and finally waited for the blessings of their families to have a bigger and newer life. Both the house and the career have been improved to a higher level...

But everyone knows that the dirt and cracks created by these roadblocks will not disappear.

Bai Zhiwang always remembered Qin Zhou's card, and wanted Xiao Chuan to get the money back and get what he wanted as soon as possible, so he thought of ways to fill in the hole. With a professional experience, he finally got a new project to cooperate with an outside technology company.

It has nothing to do with the cultural relics that Bai Zhiwang likes, but the reward is very generous, and the research institute also welcomes young talents to expand these resources.

Bai Zhiwang soon showed his prominence in the industry, and more and more people sought him out as a consultant. Bai Zhiwang jumped into it like a child who had just tasted the sweetness for the first time.

The reward was real, which made him feel closer to Qin Zhou's wish.But he still has something to write in his hand, and the digitization team has a lot of work to do, and Qin Zhou himself has basic subjects to prepare for.Coupled with the fact that Guo Min's illness was too exhausting, they hadn't gone out to relax for a long time.

Qin Zhou hated cooking the most, and he basically ate in the cafeteria. Bai Zhiwang was afraid that he would not be able to eat the oily and spicy food due to stomach problems, so he simply got up early and made him a meal before leaving. As a result, the time between the two of them was completely diverged, and they almost couldn't eat anymore. When not sitting together to eat.

It was once reported in the news that a piece of porcelain was unearthed in a certain place, which caused a sensation in the national collection circle, and the logo of a certain brand was frequently exposed.Bai Zhiwang watched the TV, suddenly stood up and turned on the computer, and excitedly shared with Qin Zhou, saying that the stock price of the company that the brand is backed by has soared, and he bought a few during the low price period.

Qin Zhou just responded indifferently, and answered the wrong question: "The one unearthed is Yuan blue and white, which is very rare even now."

There are countless similar examples. Qin Zhou only knows that young researchers used to be passionate, but now they are no longer so purely excited when they encounter rare cultural relics.Bai Zhiwang could also feel that Qin Zhou's words had become less, so he tried hard to find a topic, but in exchange for getting along even more awkwardly.

Back in foreign countries, after quarreling, when you came back to kiss and hug, you forgot everything. When they finally got tired of being together every day, you realized that you not only wanted to kiss and hug him after the quarrel, but also endured his being with you. It looks like a different person under his nose, and the indifference he thought you were from above.

The frogs were boiled in such warm water for more than half a year.

Bai Zhiwang was so tired that he saw some client running out to socialize, so he could only catch up on the weekend.

Qin Zhou looked at the corner of his eyes, and gently smoothed the fine lines with his fingertips.

Bai Zhiwang was woken up quickly, he has been sleeping very lightly lately.

"I'll take a nap for a while, can you call me at ten o'clock? The company has a meeting outside." Bai Zhiwang said wearily.

Qin Zhou was not sleepy, but he still lay down with him.There are not many opportunities to get two people together on the bed, and it takes a while to seize it.

Bai Zhi couldn't wake up, subconsciously pulled Qin Zhou into his arms, and kissed his hair.

"I saw your American professional course certificate last time." There was grievance in Qin Zhou's words, but he didn't dare to speak clearly.

Bai Zhiwang was sleeping in a daze, and hummed in response.

"Did you change the direction?" Qin Zhou asked in a low voice, "They have little to do with your subject in the research institute."

Bai Zhiwang nodded, "Well, those noodles are too narrow to do other things."

Narrow face means focusing on digital restoration, Qin Zhou is puzzled: "But those are all the top teachers in the field, right? Now that you have changed, do you want to do something else?"

Bai Zhiwang scratched his nose and didn't speak.

Qin Zhou was not very happy. He didn't dare to tell Bai Zhiwang about the operation before, because he was afraid of delaying his professional training.

Qin Zhou was silent for a while, then asked again: "I remember that no matter how busy the scientific research institute is, it won't last for several months. You have so many meetings, do you have a new topic?"

"No, it's a meeting from an outside company." Bai Zhiwang was busy with his own projects during the working day, and he could only sacrifice his private rest time for foreign cooperation projects, so it gave Qin Zhou an almost endless impression.

Qin Zhou sighed: "But do you like doing that? Drinking, working overtime..."

Bai Zhiwang answered quickly: "I don't like it."

Qin Zhou stroked the hair on his forehead and complained, "You still do it if you don't like it?"

"Work." Bai Zhiwang was so sleepy that he jumped out word by word, and finally fell silent, "Who would like to work."

Qin Zhou lowered his head and sighed heavily.

His beloved Bai Zhiwang once said with bright eyes that he would spend his whole life for love.

Ceilings are blistering from damp, walls are peeling, love is fading.

"Go to sleep." Qin Zhou turned over, opened his eyes and waited until ten o'clock, telling Bai Zhiwang to hold endless meetings.

And then on to the endless, boring vacation.

Qin Zhou used to go out for afternoon tea with his friends when he was free, but since Bai Zhiwang returned to China, he made plans and used to bring his other half with him.Later, the studio became obsolete, and those friends from the Art Association even left in a hurry.If the social relationship between adults has not been maintained for three months, it will be like water, and it will be embarrassing to look back.

Qin Zhou recently had materials for a basic science project still under review. He was tired of reading the literature, so he looked through his phone contacts, and really didn't know what to do, so he went out with his coat in his hand and told Bai Zhiwang to come back in the evening. Home.

Strolling all the way to the west bank, Qin Zhou's head cleared up a lot with the river wind blowing.

This area is an art center, and many original artists hold exhibitions here.Qin Zhou got to know many curators and photography enthusiasts because of his work. It happened that today's small exhibition was organized by his acquaintances, so he went in for a stroll.

Today there is an urban photography exhibition, the photographers are very bold in light and composition, and their personal style is very obvious.

Qin Zhou was watching when someone patted his back suddenly.Looking back, it was the author of these photos.

"Brother Di." Qin Zhou greeted with a smile.

The man named Di Ge has long hair, wears baggy linen pants, and has an unlit cigarette in his mouth, "Oh, I cut my hair."

"Obviously?" Qin Zhou's hair is shorter than usual.

Brother Di laughed, "Nonsense, you always get stuck."

Qin Zhou lowered his head, recalling that Bai Zhiwang seemed to have not noticed his changes for a long time.

Brother Di snapped his fingers, "Why do you have time to come here today? How long have we not seen each other?"

"It's been a long time, I'm afraid you are too busy to bother me." Qin Zhou pointed at the photographs on display and boasted, "Oh, you actually unfolded the painting here, it's a dream come true."

"Then don't you look at who I am!" Brother Di showed off, "Oh, it's a pity for you. If you follow my advice and continue to build the studio, your painting will be placed in the center next time. Believe it or not?"

"Believe it or not, you are little Alfred Pudong."

"Fuck you!" Di Ge heard the teasing in the words, and poked his arm angrily, "Huh? Why didn't the university come with you, and was drained by you?"

Qin Zhou got used to this group of people speaking yellow accents without any restraint, and laughed it off: "He's busy."

"Busy?" Brother Di sneered, "Take it easy, brother, if a man says he's busy, he's either cheating or having a ghost."

Qin Zhou was not angry, but shook his head firmly, "He won't."

Brother Di said "tsk": "So confident? Then why are you still frowning."

"I don't know either." Qin Zhou turned his head and looked at the window where he could see the river view, and said blankly, "I just feel that... I can't recognize us clearly."

He has always firmly believed that love is the connection of souls, and that they can come to this day because of similar ideals and aspirations.If these things were excluded, he didn't know if Qin Zhou was still considered Qin Zhou, and whose Bai Zhiwang was Bai Zhiwang.

Before leaving, Brother Di asked him - why did the relationship fail, shouldn't you go on together?

Qin Zhou didn't know how to answer.

They finally had some savings. The remodeled floor-to-ceiling windows were very bright, and the cabinets could hold cultural and creative gifts from museums around the world. He didn't know if this was a "good" direction.

I went out for a walk and didn't get an answer, but was even annoyed by what Di Ge said.

After arriving home, Qin Zhou lay down on the sofa, checked his phone habitually, and found that he had just missed Bai Zhiwang's WeChat.

[There is something wrong with the supplier, so I have to go to Suzhou temporarily. ]

Qin Zhou counted the days and found that the scheduled musical could not be watched again.

It's not just a musical, he had already planned to go to Gucun to see the cherry blossoms in April, so it's probably not enough to follow Bai Zhiwang's busy schedule.

Qin Zhou felt that he was in a panic, and that if the relationship between them continued like this, there would inevitably be problems.He asked a friend to introduce him and contacted a psychological consulting company with emotional mediation business.

The other party expressed the hope that both parties could participate in face-to-face consultation, so that the effect would be more ideal, so Qin Zhou called Bo Zhiwang and asked him if he could have a chat with him next month.As a result, as soon as the call was made, the busy tone was hung up.

Okay, I guess we're in a meeting.

Qin Zhou knocked sideways and said: [Then are you free when you come back in April? ]

It took two hours for Bai Zhiwang to reply: [Are you going to Gu Village?Probably not, the special project here is estimated to end in May. ]

At that time, the flowers were gone, and Qin Zhou didn't dare to mention it, let alone talk about the consultation. Anyway, Bai Zhiwang didn't think there was any problem between them at all.

About twelve o'clock, Qin Zhou received a video from Bai Zhiwang.The opposite party had just returned to the hotel, and Qin Zhou had already fallen asleep.

Bai Zhiwang asked, "Did it bother you?"

Qin Zhou rubbed his eyes, "No. Did you just finish your work?"

"Well, I just went back to the hotel and went to take a shower after talking to you." Bai Zhiwang mentioned the trip to Gu Village that he talked about at night, "By the way, don't you want to see flowers? I will accompany you when this project is over." Go to Dalian to see it, okay?"

The flowering period in the north is relatively late, so it can be regarded as a feasible alternative.But what Qin Zhou wanted was not an alternative.

He was silent for a long time, then shook his head, "Let's talk."

It is less likely to be disappointed if you let nature take its course than to make an appointment and then disappoint your expectations.

Two days before the opening of the musical, Qin Zhou sent Ding Gu a photo with a blank face, saying that Bo Zhiwang was on a business trip for two days and had an extra ticket, and asked him if he was free.

Within two seconds, Ding Gu's voice came over: [Next time, just send money directly, don't always send tickets. ]

Qin Zhou replied impatiently: [Tomorrow at two o'clock, Wenguang Theater, "Cat", should we go or not? ]

Ding Gu: [Go, go!What's the matter with Mr. Bo, the original tour, why don't you go here?You two have no difference? ]

Qin Zhou: [Don't worry, I won't be able to break up even if you leave the order. ]

If you owe this much, you will inevitably be scolded. After being scolded, Qin Zhou returned to Bai Zhiwang's interface and continued to listen.

Bai Zhiwang's voice was cloud-like, slow and low-frequency magnetic, and Qin Zhou wished he could listen to it several times each time, so he always pressed Bai Zhiwang to speak more to himself.

Bai Zhiwang: [I'm going out first, the dishes are ready in the cupboard, remember to reheat them when you eat them. ]

Qin Zhou opened the door of the cupboard and saw three plates filled with his favorite dishes, one of which was even in the shape of a heart.The other two should be too late, so I didn't do much processing.

Qin Zhou's heart was numb and his nose was itchy.

Seeing this, he firmly believed that they were still in love——Qin Zhou suddenly lost his confidence after igniting this little hope.I don't know when, he needs to dig out the evidence of caring for each other from such small details.

Every look and every movement before Mingming is proof.
