A guide to the first love of a spoiled dog

Chapter 73 Qu Zao x Chen Ci [End of the full text]

This wave of epidemics is raging. Qu Zao's family only has a few packets of instant noodles and a few cans of Coke. According to their "building director", the allocated supplies will be delivered in two days.

Qu Zao made a rough plan, and it seemed that it would not be a problem to last for two days, so he was not too anxious and went back to his room to prepare for the SAT.

In fact, Qu Zao was also very hesitant when he first thought of dropping out of school. He called his good friends Zhao Feng and Hou Lingfan who were admitted to the same city, and said that he would invite them out for dinner.

They all know a little about Qu Zao's family affairs. The young people play with their mobile phones every day, so the photos are saved as soon as they are released.Later, these photos disappeared on the Internet along with the scandal, but in their alumni group, images with rough mosaics are still often seen.

They met at a chain hot pot restaurant. The schools of Qu Zao and Zhao Feng are very close, while Hou Lingfan's campus is on the other side of the city; but when Qu Zao found the box, his two good friends were already waiting inside. .

In order to open up the topic, Hou Lingfan first talked eloquently about the process of his application to join the student union. His eloquence was very good, and he broke down the intrigue and dire straits within the student union and told them, just like listening to a big drama of palace fighting, Qu Zao Rarely became excited.

Hou Lingfan patted his chest: "No matter how deep their city is, they can't match your Brother Hou's ability to see through tricks and adapt to the wind. 'Licking' is a knowledge. When I become the president, I will definitely pass on my true skills. I will pass it on to both of you."

Zhao Feng waved his hand: "Hehe, that's not my ambition!", "I have determined to dedicate my life to medicine, and I will use my skillful hands to support my patients!"

"You're so sour!" Hou Lingfan pushed his shoulder, "Which hospital you will be admitted to in the future, you must tell us, Zaozi and I can avoid it."

"Hey——" Zhao Feng shook his head, "It's superficial! Even if you want to find me, you can't find me. I want to go to the obstetrics and gynecology department in the future."

Hou Lingfan and Qu Zao were very surprised. Hou Lingfan cupped his fists and said, "Brother Zhao has lofty aspirations, admiration!"

"Didn't my mother suffer from dystocia back then? I have lived without a mother since I was a child. It was too hard, and so was my father." Zhao Feng said firmly, "Anyway, I worked hard to make every baby able to have a baby." Healthy birth, every mother can give birth safely."

After explaining their situation, they looked at Qu Zao together and asked how he was doing.

Qu Zao shook his head, saying that he didn't like his current major and school very much, so he seldom went to class.

His major was chosen by Shen Ru for him, business administration, which is a relatively versatile major, and it will be easy to find a job after graduation in the future.Qu Zao reluctantly went to a few classes, it was really difficult to concentrate, coupled with the fragility of the body and mind, staying in the classroom for a long time, surrounded by unfamiliar classmates, produced some physical rejection .

"Oh... Then do you have a favorite major?" Hou Lingfan asked him, "Actually, after entering the university, as long as the major span is not too large, you can apply for a change of major. Especially since we are freshmen, we should be able to fight with the school. "

"That's right. You still have to learn what you like, so that you will have more opportunities to do the work you want to do in the future." Zhao Feng said.

Qu Zao nodded, saying that he would think about it again.Then I went back to school and resolutely went through the withdrawal procedures.

He still doesn't know what he likes and what he wants to do in the future, and his life has always revolved around a few specific people.Before it was his mother, as long as his mother decided, he would seldom veto it; then it was Chen Ci, he thought it was good for his brother to like it, and he wanted to be like his brother liked it.

After living for more than 18 years, he still has no ideals, no plans, and is an empty-headed person; but he clearly knows that at least staying in City B to continue studying is something he does not want to do, and he can no longer let himself muddle along.

Qu Zao, who returned to M City, started psychological counseling, opened up her heart step by step, understood herself, and gradually discovered the beauty of psychology.

Before Christmas, he caught up with the Christmas benefits of a cram school and signed up for TOEFL and SAT sprint classes for himself.Most of the time during the day is spent on class and exam preparation, and at night I go to the bar to see Chen Ci.

After finally moving to Chen Ci's upstairs, I thought that the opportunity had come and I wanted to increase communication with each other, but I didn't expect to be completely sealed at home.The cram school was changed to online teaching, and the exams that had been successfully scheduled were also cancelled.

Very unlucky.

But after studying for a while, he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.He walked over slowly, opened the door, but there was no one outside, and there was a bento box on the ground, which contained the breakfast prepared by Chen Ci.

After that comes lunch and dinner...the dishes are not too many, one vegetable can be served in eight different cooking methods over and over again, and Qu Zao likes it very much.

Later, Qu Zao put some Blu-ray discs at the door, or left a short, loving letter. Chen Ci might have opened it and read it, but he didn't take it away.

Although they haven't seen each other for a month, they have communicated tacitly and tacitly in this way, and spent this time with each other.

On the night of unsealing, Qu Zao slammed on the door, Chen Ci was pushed into the house as soon as he opened the door, fell down on the sofa without knowing it, and was kissed deeply.

After the epidemic, the service and catering industry began to slowly recover. Chen Ci made a small reform to the business model of the bar, and no longer open all night.

Qu Zao is still enthusiastic and has no sense of boundaries, and seems to have forgotten their previous agreement to get together and part ways, and began to unilaterally pursue him.In other words, some entanglements without a bottom line.

Chen Xinji has been recuperating at home for several months. After the lockdown was lifted, he resumed work. He was applauded and welcomed by his colleagues as soon as he entered the unit.

He was sure that these colleagues knew what happened in his family, but no one mentioned it again. The above meant that he should continue to work, and then retire at a suitable age to set an example for younger generations.Passing by the voluntary wall, many new secretaries and young judges still regard Chen Xinji as an example, wishing to become the next "light of law and reason".

Chen Xinji has always been a bit contemptuous of such a title, but this time he saw it and smiled silently.

The eldest brother of the Shen family successfully passed the internal election and became the principal of M University; Shen Ru finished a phased job and had more time. Apart from worrying about her husband, she also missed her son very much.

On the night of the second day after the lockdown was lifted, she suddenly received a call from her son, saying that he had something important to tell her, and asked if he could meet her in M ​​City.

When she answered the phone, she was beside Chen Xinji, Qu Zao heard Chen Xinji's coughing, and asked if he could invite Uncle Chen together.Shen Ru didn't know what Qu Zao's plan was, but her son's breath on the phone was very steady, giving her a sense of certainty and appropriateness, so she began to seriously plan the dinner for the three of them.

Qu Zao entered the door with creamy pink hair, Chen Xinji and Shen Ru's expressions were not very good.

Compared with the winter, Qu Zao was in a much more cheerful mood, and took the initiative to find some topics to chat with, and asked Chen Xinji how his body was recovering.Chen Xinji's reaction was a little apprehensive, he said it was not bad, and briefly told him about the recent case he was in charge of.

Qu Zao understood carefully, asked some reasons for the dispute from time to time, and then estimated, "That shouldn't be very dangerous..." He poured wine for Chen Xinji, toasted him, and thanked him for upholding justice for himself back then.

He also said: "Uncle Chen, I'm sorry, I didn't expect Wu Nanchun to retaliate against you, it's all my fault for causing you so much trouble..."

Chen Xinji and Shen Ru looked at each other for a moment, and then hurriedly comforted him, "This is something that cannot be predicted and prevented." Chen Xinji lifted up his collar and showed him the scar on his shoulder, "It is inevitable that we will encounter such things in our business. I didn't accept the ideological education in place, and I didn't thoroughly reflect on my mistakes, so I still have the mentality of retaliation when I came out. This is an injury I suffered when I was young, and it has been more than 20 years. If I was afraid of this, I would have If I quit, it is impossible to return to work.”

When the dinner was about to end, Qu Zao sat upright and told them about his decision to drop out of school and his plans for the future: "I want to go to New York University and study psychology, where my counselor graduated. She helped me Contacted her tutor, but it still depends on my test results."

Ever since Qu Zao said that she had dropped out of school, Shen Ru became anxious, and Chen Xinji stopped him when she tried to interrupt him several times.After Qu Zao finished speaking, Shen Ru was silent for a while, and then asked him: "Is this your own decision?"

"Of course." Qu Zao nodded, "I have never had any clear goals since I was a child, and I rely too much on you. But this time I am sure that this is the path I chose. I want to study in the United States. When Cheng returns to China, I will fight for brother Chen Ci again and become a stable reliance."

"Why..." Shen Ru's eyes were red because of anger and confusion, "Why haven't you given up yet?"

Chen Xinji patted her on the shoulder, comforted her softly, and advised her, "You're still a child."

"I'm not a child anymore." Qu Zao retorted, "I can be responsible for myself, you, and Chen Ci. I will try my best to win the opportunity and not let you worry about my life."

Shen Ru burst into tears: "How are you going to take responsibility? American tuition is so expensive, don't you still have to rely on your family?"

"My grandfather left a house, and I plan to sell it." Qu Zao straightened his back and replied with a burning gaze.

Qu Zao’s grandfather’s family property was relatively well-off, and when he died, he separated the inheritance. Qu Zao got some cash and handed it over to Shen Ru to take care of it; his father got a real estate with a high market value. Recently, a lawyer contacted him. settled on his head.Before coming over for dinner, he had just completed the transfer procedures.

"I will set aside two years of tuition fees, and the rest of the money will be invested in Chen Ci's bar. His current bar is a bit too small, and the drinkers often can't sit down, and it is easy to bump into and quarrel when entering and exiting. In addition, the waiter's The number of people is not enough, the distance between the restaurant and the infield is close, and there are many safety hazards..."

"Nonsense!" Chen Xinji couldn't listen anymore, and left with a frown.

"Xiaozao, you want to study abroad and your mother is willing to support you, but after you go out, you will meet a lot of new people, so there is no need to make any promises right now." Shen Ru squeezed his hand hard, shook it, "Son, can you promise mom to think about it again?"

Qu Zao shook his head lightly, "I can't give up on Chen Ci."

In the end, the meal broke up.

Shen Ru lifted the table and warned Qu Zao that if he was stubborn, he would never expect her forgiveness; Chen Xinji stayed in the study and did not come out until Qu Zao left.

The two bottles of wine brought by Qu Zao were thrown out of the door by Shen Ru and himself, and the door was locked with a bang, which made his ears ring.

It was as if the world had really been turned upside down.

In the past 18 years, Qu Zao has always agreed with other people's decisions, repeating in his mouth: "Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes."But lately he has gotten used to being rejected and has started rejecting others too.After practice, I found out that it doesn't seem to be that difficult.

"No!" After he told Chen Ci his decision, Chen Ci flatly rejected him, "I asked you to sell the house and help me expand the store, do you think I will agree?"

"Then count me as a shareholder," Qu Zao flattened his mouth and fought, "From now on, you will share some profits with me every year, and I will be your shareholder!"

"My little profit, I won't be able to earn back your principal in 100 years." Chen Ci poured cold water on him, "You might as well deposit it in the bank. Besides, you only set aside two years of tuition fees. What will you do after two years? Did you drop out of school?"

That being said, Chen Ci was actually a little surprised by Qu Zao's thoughts.He originally thought that Qu Zao just wanted to resist, but in the end he had to obediently go back and take the exam again.So when Qu Zao told him that he wanted to study psychology abroad, he was happy for Qu Zao.

"I can work part-time, and apply for scholarships and subsidies. I will be responsible for my own decisions, and I have confidence in myself." Qu Zao asked him, "What about my brother, does my brother have confidence in me?"

Chen Ci pursed his lips, and swallowed the words that he would help Qu Zao pay the tuition in time.

Qu Zao was reasonable and continued: "It's normal for my brother to have no confidence in me. To be honest, I'm not surprised anyone has no confidence in me now, because I really don't have any achievements, so I have no right to ask you to believe me."

"But I haven't even tried it, so tell me not to try it, isn't it a bit arbitrary?"

Chen Ci stabilized his mood, "Xiaozao, it's not that I don't believe in you, but I don't want you to be too idealistic. You haven't seen the cruelty of this society, you don't have enough experience and the ability to resist failure and risk, you go to Put all your eggs in one basket, if you fail, the consequences may be difficult to bear, and it will bring a lot of pressure to your psychology and life."

"But I'm not afraid of failure." Qu Zao looked at Chen Ci, "I believe in myself, not because I believe that I will succeed, but because I believe that even if I fail, I will have the courage to stand up again, and I will be able to give you happiness and my mother. happiness."

"This idea may be a bit risky, but I want to do something for us. It is also necessary to win the approval of Uncle Chen and my mother, and to fight for a stable future for us. I will work hard to fight for it. Brother, can you Wait for me, don't like others..." Qu Zao clasped Chen Ci's hand, forcing him to look at him.

"OK?"

Chen Ci hesitated for a long time, but still couldn't give him an answer.Qu Zao expressed his understanding and did not want to put pressure on Chen Ci anymore. Afterwards, he still studied during the day and stayed with Chen Ci at the bar at night, and occasionally had two meals at his house.

Shen Ru heard about this and forcibly took Qu Zao back to their home in the outskirts of the city.Qu Zao behaved for a few days, then found an opportunity to sneak out again, pulled off his trousers to show Chen Ci the scar on his calf, and said pitifully that it was his mother who beat him.

Everything went smoothly in the following summer, Qu Zao sold the house, passed the exam, and got the offer he wanted.

Chen Ci insisted not to accept Qu Zao's investment, so Qu Zao used the remaining money to manage his finances and purchased several projects, which have made some profits and some losses in the past few years.

Regarding Qu Zao's pursuit, Chen Ci was still unwilling to let go.But now that Qu Zao hugged him, kissed him or did something more extreme, Chen Ci no longer resisted.

A few days before the departure, Qu Zao found that Chen Ci was always watching him, and sometimes he was woken up by the heat in the middle of the night, Chen Ci hugged him tightly, rehearsing the parting or reunion in his sleep, his skin was hot.

They watched the sunset and sunrise together, and stared at each other for a long time.They are no longer keen on promises, and only exchange a long kiss after staring.

On the day Qu Zao left for America, only Chen Ci saw him off at the airport.

Chen Ci straightened Qu Zao's hair, and told him: "Don't work too hard in your studies and part-time jobs, and take a good rest when you're on vacation, and don't always think about coming back."

"But I will miss you..." Qu Zao was not very happy to agree to such a thing, he had already booked the air ticket for the winter vacation.Besides, now that Chen Ci is standing opposite him, he has already started to miss him.

Chen Ci's ears turned red: "I can also go to New York."

Qu Zao's eyes lit up immediately, "Really? Will you come to see me?"

"Wait until the bar business is not busy."

"But why does it feel like your bar is always busy?"

"Then... wait for winter, and I will visit you in winter."

Qu Zao took out his mobile phone, found the date of Lidong, and marked it with a heart, "Okay, when winter comes, brother will come to me!"

Chen Ci was a little embarrassed: "Lidong is too early..."

"Why is Lidong so early?" Qu Zao was afraid that he would go back on his word, so he shared the day's schedule information with Chen Ci's mobile phone, "This day is a must, my brother agreed, and come to see me when winter comes."

Chen Ci suppressed his smile, agreed helplessly, and patted Qu Zao's shoulder again: "Okay, it's almost time, let's go to the security check."

"Okay..." Qu Zao hugged him reluctantly, and quickly kissed him on the lips, "Brother misses me."

Chen Ci watched as Qu Zao pulled the boarding box through the security gate and became a smaller and smaller shadow in his sight.In order to ease his reluctance and make himself feel better, Chen Ci stood where he was, and began to fantasize about some scenes.

He will land at the New York airport on time on Lidong, and hug Qu Zao who is waiting there.

During his work break, he happened to see Qu Zao standing against the door frame with a suitcase beside him, and he had been looking at him for a long time.

He went to Qu Zao's graduation ceremony and gave Qu Zao a large bouquet of flowers.

After Qu Zao graduated, he returned to City M and took a nine-to-five job.When they went out together in the morning, he sent Quzao to the unit first; at night Quzao would appear on the kite, sitting in the seat closest to him, patiently waiting for him to get off work.

They may register their marriage abroad and hold a modest wedding, and their parents may not come.

But it doesn't matter anymore.

Life is romantic and free, there are too few things that can be grasped, and the future situation is still unknown.However, he believes that there will always be someone who will add a remarkable footnote to his long and short life.

"Brother!" Qu Zao went back and forth, ran out of the security passage like a little rocket, and hugged him in his arms.

The security inspector behind him frowned wildly, Qu Zao's boarding box was thrown into the security inspection gate by him, and he slid for a short distance innocently and stunned.

Qu Zao didn't care about these things, he kissed Chen Ci vigorously, and told him that he loved him.

"Brother, it's definitely possible!" Qu Zao still promised him, "When I finish my studies and return to China, we will always be together!"

Chen Ci smiled, nodded in agreement, "I believe in you."

Hehe——Qu Zao whispered to him quietly, returned to the security inspection area, and kept apologizing to the security inspector.

They will always be together.You will be forgiven, affirmed, and blessed, but it will take a little longer.

After all, just now Qu Zao said to Chen Ci: "Love can break into any prison in any world."

Chen Ci deeply believed.
