Solitary

A Huaiyang cuisine restaurant on the banks of the Qinhuai River in Nanjing is at the peak of the evening meal, the hall is full, and busy waiters shuttle among them.

He Jiqing stepped into the hall and stopped a waiter who was in a hurry: "Where is the Xuanwu Hall?"

The young waitress looked up at him, blushed quickly, pointed inside and said, "Go straight, turn left."

He Jiqing nodded at him, "Thank you." He turned around and walked inside.

The waiter stared at his back and nearly bumped into another waiter.

"The man just now seemed to be a star, he went to the Xuanwu Hall!" The waiter excitedly pulled her colleague back: "He is super handsome and very tall."

"Really, I'm going in to deliver food later."

"I also need to go."

Two waiters are eager to try.

He Jiqing found Xuanwu Hall, stood at the door to tidy up, and opened the carved wooden door.

One table inside was almost full, and the squad leader complained to him: "Ji Qing, you're late again."

He Jiqing smiled slightly: "I can't help it, I just finished talking about work."

He looked around and found strange and familiar faces.The man looked at him with a smile on his face, his face was not as good as before, and the vicissitudes in his eyes were clearly visible.

He said, "Ji Qing, long time no see."

He nodded: "well, long time no see."

The squad leader said, "Ji Qing, sit by the spring water. He is on a business trip to Nanjing this time, and it's hard to see him."

He took off his coat and sat down on the right side of Gu Chunshui, the dormitory director of the four-year university, who had already ironed the dishes for him.He took the teapot and poured him tea.

"You still haven't changed much." Gu Chunshui put hot tea in front of him and looked at him enviously.

"Yes." He Jiqing smiled slightly and picked up the hot tea.

"It seems like we haven't seen each other for five years?" Gu Chunshui began to recall.

"Well, almost." In the past five years, Gu Chunshui got divorced and married again, and even gave birth to a child.He bought a house last year, with a monthly mortgage of more than 1.He knows it all.

"I heard from the monitor that you have always been single?" Gu Chunshui asked.

He Jiqing saw hesitation and suspicion on his face.He nodded: "well, single."

Sitting on Gu Chunshui's left is roommate Liu Hubo, he is the most lively and gossip, this is a topic he is interested in, he interjected: "Although Ji Qing is single, there are many people chasing him, do you know that? "

Gu Chunshui looked at He Jiqing's profile and smiled: "Well, that's for sure."

He Jiqing is a 2000 grade student at Nantah University, and caused quite a stir when he entered the school.With only one sneak photo, he was selected as the most handsome school girl in Nanjing in Xici Hutong.Not to mention that on the Sayuri forum at Nantah University, there are endless discussion posts for him every day.There was even a reporter from the "Oriental" magazine who came to interview him, and made an exclusive interview with Nanjing university students who focused on him.

However, he is not only good-looking, but also ranks first in the chemistry department at the end of the year, can play the piano and draw, and has a thin golden body that even the old dean of the Faculty of Arts praised him.After graduating, he went abroad to study as a graduate student with a full scholarship. Everyone thought that he would enter a research institute after returning to China, but unexpectedly he became a writer. He is still a well-known writer who does not show his face. Several of his novels have been adapted into movies or TV series. Income ranks among the top ten writers.

Liu Hubo said: "Ji Qing is the fifth king of diamonds!"

The squad leader said: "Ordinary people are not good enough for our Ji Qing!"

Some students said: "Anyway, Ji Qing doesn't worry about it, he's not like us ugly single dogs!"

Another classmate said: "It's not a matter of minutes if people want to talk about it. Anyone who likes him can go around Nanjing University a few times!"

Another classmate said: "Ji Qing has talked a lot a long time ago, so he must have not met the right person."

Only Gu Chunshui asked He Jiqing: "You are not a celibate, are you?"

He Jiqing looked at his curious face and smiled lightly: "What do you think?"

Gu Chunshui said, "It's possible."

He smiled again: "If you think so, then so be it."

The waiter who delivered the food came in, just in time to see this scene, and almost lost the bowl in his hand.Deliberately slowing down his movements to put down the dishes, he looked at He Jiqing a few more times, and his heartbeat was already unstable when he went out.

It is a recognized fact that He Jiqing is a heartthrob.The heartthrob He Jiqing has always been single, no one finds it strange, everyone takes it for granted.No one can imagine who is worthy to stand beside him.No one can imagine what kind of person a perfect person like him would fall in love with.

Including his family.

After having dinner with his old classmates, He Jiqing went back to his parents' house on Beijing Road.

When he opened the door and went in, he heard his mother, Sun Xiang, on the phone, very loudly.

"Annian in our family, you know what he can ask for, just a girl who is about the same. You can help me to ask, see if there is any suitable one among the people you know, and if there is a suitable one, you can come out and meet and eat For dinner."

He was asking a friend to find a blind date for his younger brother He Annian.

"Ji Qing? Ji Qing, there are many people who like him, so don't worry about him. Ah, you said that girl fell in love with him last time, no, no, that girl has a bad temperament and is not good enough for us Jia Jiqing."

He went to the living room, Sun Xiang saw him and said, "I'm calling your Aunt Zhang."

He asked, "Where's Dad?"

Sun Xiang replied: "I went for a run in the park with your brother."

He took off his coat and hung it on the floor hanger, and sat down on the sofa.Sun Xiang, who had been standing all the time, also sat down beside him, holding the phone in his hand and talking non-stop: "You said that Mrs. Li's daughter also fell in love with my Ji Qing. The one who doesn't talk to Ji Qing, but has a lively chat with An Nian, I thought the two of them were having fun. Our family Ji Qing doesn't like her, it's too noisy. She and An Nian are quite compatible."

He Jiqing sat for more than ten minutes, while Sun Xiang kept chatting on the phone without hanging up.He stood up, took his coat and put it on again.

Sun Xiang asked him: "Why did you just come and leave again?"

He has already gone to the door to change his shoes: "I still have a manuscript to write when I go back."

Sun Xiang said: "Wait a minute." Finally put down the phone, ran into the kitchen and handed him a bag of things.

"The steamed pork ribs made by your father, and the dried fish I fried, you can take it home and heat it up and eat it."

He went downstairs with his things, and met his father He Xiatian and younger brother He Annian who were returning home. The two father and son were talking and laughing, and they looked very close.He Annian was very happy to see him: "Brother, why are you here? Are you leaving? Why don't you go up and sit for a while?"

He said, "No, there are still manuscripts to write."

He Xiatian tempted him: "Recently, I took a catty of old narcissus, why don't you go up and taste it?"

He still shook his head.

The two father and son watched him walk away.He Annian said: "I feel like my brother is not happy today."

He Xiatian said, "Isn't he always like this?"

He Annian thinks about it, it seems to be the same.His elder brother He Jiqing has always been like this, even his family members can hardly see his emotions.Since I was a child, I have been so calm.When he was a child, He Annian often looked at his face, but there was only one look.Even if the house is on fire, he remains calm.In He Annian's eyes, his elder brother He Jiqing was a person without emotions.But the person who seems to be the least emotional can write so many delicate emotional novels.He finds it amazing!

When He Jiqing returned home, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening.There is Gu Chunshui's farewell WeChat message on the phone: "I'm leaving, I am very happy to see you today."

He looked at the smiling expression behind him and was silent for a while, before replying with a "hmm".He turned on the computer, logged on to Douban, and posted a friend-seeking post in the Nanjing singles group: "Uncle 82, coordinates in Nanjing, height above 180, well-proportioned body shape, likes movies and reading, no bad habits. Gay. Hope to find someone compatible, If you are interested, please doupost." He attached two pictures, one from the back when hiking in Red Rock National Park in the United States, and one selfie at home showing only one hand.

After talking on the phone with his family, Lin Shu sat down in front of the computer with his head down. On the screen were half-finished civil service exam questions.

The classmate in bedroom 302 next door opened the door excitedly and came in, shouting, "Come and congratulate me, I've signed with Morris."

Others in the dormitory expressed their envy and congratulations, and asked him about the details of the interview.The students sat down to talk, and Lin Shu listened with pricked ears, silently jotting down the main points in his heart.

After the classmate finished speaking, he glanced at the civil service test questions on Lin Shu's computer screen and asked, "Are you going to take the civil service test?"

"Well, my family let me take the test." Lin Shu replied.

"Are you going home?" the classmate asked again.

Lin Shu wasn't sure, he said he didn't know.The classmate patted him on the shoulder and said, "Actually, it's like you. My family is in the city, and it's good to go home. I can live with my parents. My family is in the countryside, so I can only farm when I go home."

Lin Shu smiled and didn't explain much.After the classmate left, the people in the dormitory began to discuss their future plans.One has already secured postgraduate study, one continues to look for a job full of confidence, and the other heard that his family let him go abroad.

The roommate of Baoyan asked Lin Shu: "What position did you apply for as a civil servant?"

Lin Shu said: "Secretary of the Customs." He is a graphic design student, and the positions he can apply for are really limited.This position is not limited to majors.

"The customs is very good! Is there any relationship in your family?" asked the student who went abroad.

Lin Shu shook his head. His parents were ordinary small businessmen, and they had no relationship with civil servants, but they insisted on wanting him to be a civil servant because of their stability.Mother Li Hua even said that if you fail the civil servant exam, you can go to the public institution.Not just stability, but also to get him home.

"There must be a lot of people reporting at the customs post. You have to work hard." The roommate who was looking for a job encouraged him.

Lin Shu nodded slightly, turned around and continued with the unfinished civil servant test questions.However, no matter how concentrated I was, the test questions on the screen were shaking, and the words could not be connected together.No one can understand the bitterness in his heart. He also wants to find a job early and stay in Nanjing or Shanghai, even in the surrounding Suzhou and Yangzhou, just like the classmates in the dormitory next door.He didn't want to take the civil service exam, let alone go home.

He turned off the test questions, opened Douban, and saw that his favorite gay celebrity You Neighbor forwarded a link "Nanjing's 82 Uncle Zhengyou". He commented: "This uncle is good by visual inspection. Lonely men hurry up."

He clicked in and saw a simple request for a friend, as well as photos that seemed nothing but content.One is the back view standing in front of a group of red steeple-like mountains. It can be seen that the figure is tall and powerful.The other one is sitting at home, only half of the hand is shown in the photo, the hand is very beautiful, half of the high-end watch is exposed, and in the background is a wall of log-inlaid bookshelves, which are full of books.

Someone replied below:

"That was filmed in Red Rock Park in the United States, right?"

"Hands are beautiful!"

"Why is there no truth, don't you just be a back killer?!"

"There are so many books from my uncle's family!"

"Uncle looks very good~"

……

Most of the comments are: "I have been posted on Douyou, please flop."

Lin Shu clicked on the homepage of QING, the person who developed the post. The Douban registered by the other party 06 has very little content on the homepage. There are no diaries and photo albums. There are many books and movies marked. The books and movies are mixed.He hesitated for a few minutes, and finally made up his mind to click on Douyou, and sent the other party the ID photo he just took. Even though there was a better photo, he still posted this one.Before the end of his senior year, he will indulge once and go crazy once.Because, there may be no chance in the future.

However, he couldn't agree with this approach [-]% in his heart.
