Since Xiao Qiao moved here to live with Chen Kang, Xiao Qiao washed Chen Kang's clothes.

Every night, Xiao Qiao stayed in the bathroom for an hour, and when he came out, he washed himself and the clothes of the two of them for the day.

Chen Kang didn't want his help, and hid the clothes he took off every time, hoping to wash them himself when Xiao Qiao fell asleep.

As a result, Xiao Qiao was always able to dig out Chen Kang's clothes from every corner, and complained that Chen Kang was dirty and unhygienic.

Did you make a mistake?

Who made Chen Kang so embarrassed?

Finally, Chen Kang couldn't stay any longer and talked to Xiao Qiao.

I didn't expect Xiao Qiao to throw countless rolls of eyes at Chen Kang, and he was not happy to be served by someone, I'm afraid he is stupid.

Hey hey hey, who is the fool!

In the end, Xiao Qiao, who won the verbal victory, cheerfully carried the clothes into the bathroom, and deliberately yelled for Chen Kangshan to get out of the way when he passed by Chen Kang.

Chen Kang got up in the morning and Xiao Qiao was still sleeping.

He had already rolled to the other side of the bed, sprawled all over, and the quilt was kicked to his feet.

Chen Kang got out of bed and walked over to pull up the quilt to cover Xiao Qiao, and turned up the air conditioner by two degrees.

The white shirt and suit pants were spread out on the chair at the end of the bed, which he was going to wear for the interview today.

This set of clothes was bought when I went shopping with Lu Yao when I was in my junior year. Lu Yao said that it looked formal when I wore it for an interview.

Chen Kang passed through twice, and Chen Kang failed in those two interviews. By the time of the last round of comprehensive interviews, the dispatch addresses announced by the employers were all far away from Lu Yao's work place without exception.

It was Chen Kang who gave up on his own initiative.

Lu Yao said that a long-distance relationship will definitely break up in the end.

The results of it?We broke up before we even started.

Xiao Qiao washed the clothes and trousers for him the day before, and hung them on the balcony without dehydrating. He said that this way Chen Kang would look smooth when he went to the interview.

Chen Kang looked at the busy Xiao Qiao with strange eyes.

Xiao Qiao seemed to feel the strangeness, and when she turned around, she happened to meet Chen Kang's eyes.

"What are you looking at?" Xiao Qiao asked.

Chen Kang coughed twice: "You, what are you doing?"

"Help you 'work'."

"Ok?"

"As for me, I hope you will develop well in the future and repay my kindness."

After finishing speaking, he hummed a little song and went to the bathroom.

I knew that guy was not so kind.

Chen Kang shouted to the bathroom: "If I don't wash it clean, I will return it."

"Then don't wash it, don't wash it." Xiao Qiao's voice came from afar.

"you dare?!"

I don't know if that idiot will sleep until noon again.

Chen Kang went downstairs early in the morning to buy instant dumplings, and Xiao Qiao would heat them up after getting up.

He seems to like the taste of fresh shrimp.

Does he know how to use a microwave oven in Thailand?

Hey, why worry so much about yourself.

Chen Kangren is already in the big meeting room of Chulalongkorn.

A lot of people came to interview, the woman sitting in front was talking on the phone in Japanese, a Korean sat next to Chen Kang, with his peaked cap pulled down, and three silver rings on his ears, he threw his resume in front of him. On the small table, concentrate on playing with the mobile phone.

This seems to be a special recruitment for the Department of Oriental Languages.

Chen Kang took out his mobile phone and turned it off. This is his habit during interviews. He is completely empty, and his mind is only used to think about the content of the interview.

Although there were many people, they didn't seem to know each other, so the whole venue was extremely quiet. Most of them walked in and found a seat at random, sat down and waited. After a while, the entire conference room was almost full.

Chen Kang looked at his watch, the time was almost up, and looking around, there were only a few staff busy.

"Sawadika."

Suddenly, the host's voice came from the microphone. The woman sitting in the front row lowered her voice and said a few words before hanging up. The Korean next to her put her phone away and looked up.

"Welcome all teachers to Chulalongkorn University."

After speaking this sentence in Thai, it was translated into Chinese, Korean and Japanese.

There was a burst of applause in the meeting room.

"As you all know, today we are conducting a recruitment assessment for the teachers of the Department of Oriental Languages. Thank you for coming to Bangkok from a long distance, and thank you for choosing Chulalongkorn."

Another round of applause.

"First of all, let me introduce our Zhu Da to you."

The speaker seemed to be a teacher from the school's administrative office. Chen Kang had seen him in school leaflets. He was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, which was the standard attire for male teachers in Thai universities.

"Our school is the oldest university in Thailand and the most prestigious university in the country." When he said this, he was smiling and full of confidence.

Chulalongkorn is indeed worthy of its title.

"It is named after His Majesty Rama V. You probably have seen the portrait of our Majesty when you walk into the campus."

"The school has 19 colleges with more than [-] teachers and more than [-] students."

"The position you are applying for is in the Department of Oriental Languages ​​in the Faculty of Arts."

……

"Next, let me explain today's recruitment process to you."

The recruitment of each subject is in different classrooms. Today is Saturday, the teaching building is cordoned off and students are not allowed to enter. This is all for the preparation of recruitment.

Chen Kang and several girls were taken to an empty classroom by the staff.

"Everyone, please sit down."

The staff's Thai Chinese Chen Kang can only understand the meaning if he listens carefully. If the person speaks Thai, it may be easier for Chen Kang to understand.

Except for him, none of the girls seemed to speak Thai very well.

No wonder.

Chen Kang slowly unfolded the signing paper. He was number three, in the middle order.

"At 09:30, the test papers will be distributed to everyone. Everyone can only prepare lessons in this classroom. The timer is 10 minutes. At ten o'clock, everyone stops preparing for lessons and goes to the next classroom to try the lectures on the spot in the order of drawing lots. Good luck to everyone."

After the staff finished speaking, he left the classroom.

From the very beginning, those girls kept sneaking glances at Chen Kang, and two of them whispered after finishing their glances.

God knows what they're talking about.

But why are you looking at me?I don't have any pockmarks on my face.

Still watching?

Well, there are so many of you, I'm afraid of you, okay?

Chen Kang felt very uncomfortable, got up with his bag and sat down in the last row.

The waiting process was long. When Chen Kang looked out the window, the sun had already come out, and today was another sunny day.

He is not very nervous, breathing smoothly, even in such a high-pressure environment, he will feel relaxed and comfortable.

In the past, Lu Yao stayed outside his examination room during interviews in China. At that time, Chen Kang would be nervous because he knew someone was waiting for him, so he tried his best to live up to expectations.

If the interview failed, Lu Yao would not blame Chen Kang, but only encouraged him to work harder next time.

Chen Kang thought of Lu Yao again.

He felt like he was worthless.

But it seems that his past is all related to Lu Yao.

The pace of the interview was very fast. Chen Kang put the selected questions back into his bag and followed the staff to the interview room.

"Hi teachers, I'm Chen Kang."

After standing still, Chen Kang glanced at the interviewers under the stage. There were seven of them in total. The elderly man sitting in the middle must be the head of the department. He put his hands on his chest and looked at Chen Kang with a smile. The teacher was also among them, she whispered a few words next to the head of the department, and the head of the department nodded towards her.

After clasping his hands together and saluting, the teacher next to the clock nodded to indicate that Chen Kang could start.

Chen Kang picked up a piece of chalk on the podium, took a deep breath and said, "The topic I got today is to talk about a Chinese character 'you'."

Then he wrote a big "you" in the middle of the blackboard.

"Then I will start my formal lecture."

"Before class, I would like to ask everyone, do you all speak Chinese?" Chen Kang immediately entered the role of a teacher.

Paused for a few seconds.

"Everyone will say it, and the teacher just heard you all said it very well."

Chen Kang presupposes that the classroom is full of students. The teacher of the micro-class has told them that if a class has only teachers and no students, it is doomed to fail.

"What was the first sentence you learned?"

"Haha, it must be 'Hello'."

"Then on the blackboard—"

"That's right, everyone knows, it's the word 'you'."

When Chen Kang said this, the two male teachers who were still buried just now raised their heads and looked at Chen Kang.

"I know it, but can I really read it?"

"Come on, I'll take you to read."

"you--"

"you--"

"very good."

Chen Kang saw a female teacher move her mouth unconsciously.

"In our Thai language, we seldom use people's 'me, you, and him', and they are called by specific names. For example, classmate Lily will not say to Neil, 'Are you going to eat?', she will say What? 'Is Neil going to dinner?'"

"So, everyone should pay special attention to the word 'you'."

"Words come out of the nasal cavity. When pronouncing, everyone touches their noses to see if they feel the vibration."

"The student sitting at the end, don't stick your hands into your nostrils, just lightly lean on the outside of your nose." Chen Kang shouted to the last row of empty seats.

Sira covered her mouth and smiled.

Those recruiting teachers obviously also liked Chen Kang's fake humor.

"In Chinese, the sound coming from the nose will appear blurred, or even hard to hear, just like having a cold."

"But it's this ambiguity that gives people an inexplicable sense of stickiness."

"So when people say 'you', it will give the listener an illusion of zero distance from the other party."

"Come down and read some more."

"Now that we know how to pronounce it, let's see how to write this word."

"Take out your notebooks and follow me to write a few more times."

After Chen Kang slowly wrote down a few "you" on the blackboard, he faced the audience: "Everyone should have learned the radicals before. Tell me, this word is composed of several parts."

"Yes, two."

"Look, everyone, on the left is - that's right, next to Single, and on the right is 'er'."

"Let's just remember that with you, people are just mediocre."

"This sentence is a bit like ancient Chinese. In modern Chinese, it means, I have you by my side, and others are nothing."

"Male students can use this word to chase girls."

"The premise is that you have to learn this word well."

Several interviewers laughed.

The whole process went smoothly, and before the teacher in charge of timing reminded him, Chen Kang had already finished the lecture.

The effect seems to be pretty good.

"Chen Kang, you speak Thai very well, and your class is also very good."

Before leaving, the dean of the department said this to him with a smile.

Walking in the stairwell, Chen Kangcai slowly withdrew from the situation of the trial lecture just now.

Today is his good luck.

Because of this word, Lu Yao discussed it with him.

Lu Yao said that although Japanese has personal pronouns such as "I, you, him", they are far less charming than Chinese characters, and Thai has no personal pronouns, let alone such an ambiguous feeling.

"you you you--"

Lu Yao read it many times until the end.

"Chen Kang, you still don't kiss me?"

Chen Kang who was teased blushed.

With you, everyone else would be mediocre, Chen Kang thought at that time.

The results of the trial lecture will be notified to them by phone at noon.

Walking downstairs, Chen Kang turned on his cell phone.

"Here—" the phone vibrated.

A text message.

"20457233 just called you."

Ok?

There is a missed call.

Chen Kang called from this number.

Someone answered after two rings.

"Sawadika."

"Hi, may I ask if you have seen me just now?" Chen Kang asked.

"Katon (sorry), this is a payphone."

It's a pay phone that you can find in grocery stores.

"That's it."

Then I don't know who has found him.

"But—" The man on the phone seemed to think for a while.

"Only one lad came this morning."

Chen Kang's heart suddenly moved, as if he realized something.

He tried to speak.

"Are you only in your 20s?"

"Yes, yes, yes, like a college student."

"The young man came, but the other party didn't answer, so he left."

Apart from this effective information about age, Chen Kang didn't know anything else, and Xiao Qiao didn't tell Chen Kang either.

"Excuse me—what district is your store in?"

"Pyate."

"Thank you."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Kang slowly walked towards the school gate.

Could it be Zhou Yi?

If it was really him, would the idiot be sad if he missed his call because of the interview?

Why did he call Chen Kang from a public phone?

What is his purpose?

Reconcile with Xiao Qiao, or break it off completely?

Chen Kang didn't know all of this.

But there is one thing that is probably certain, he is in the Piathai district of Bangkok.

Anyway, it gave the idiot a glimmer of hope.

Speaking of which, I don't know if he got up or had breakfast.

Alas, that guy must not run around.

"Chen Kang!!!"

Just as he was thinking, there was a bouncing figure waving at him from a distance.

"Chen Kang! I'm here!"

It turned out to be Xiao Qiao. He stood at the gate of the campus police office and kept calling Chen Kang's name, for fear that Chen Kang would not hear him.

Why did that idiot come here?

After a short sprint, Xiao Qiao had already reached Chen Kang.

"You're here." With his bag on his back, he pouted at Chen Kang, "I've been waiting for a long time."

"How did you come?"

"You have an interview today. As I said, I will observe secretly and cheer you up." Xiao Qiao smiled, "How is it going? Is it going well?"

"General." Chen Kang said, "The results will come out later."

"Okay, then let's go eat! I'm almost starved to death." Xiao Qiao cried and pulled Chen Kang's sleeve.

"Have you had breakfast? I bought you dumplings."

Xiao Qiao was very surprised: "Dumplings? I didn't see it!"

"The dumplings are on the table, they taste like fresh shrimp."

"Oh my god, my favorite flavor!" Xiao Qiao looked regretful, "When I woke up this morning, I found that you were missing, so I hurried to find you."

I want to have breakfast too.

Chen Kang gave Xiao Qiao a blank look: "How did you come here?"

"Turk and Tuk from Tiantie, and you will be there in a few steps."

"Yo, it doesn't look like a Lu Chi."

"Chen Kang, don't think of me so stupid, please! Please!"

Xiao Qiao ate three servings of fried rice, plus a glass of freshly squeezed watermelon juice.

"Are you a pig?" Chen Kang complained mercilessly.

"I'm not a pig, I'm just hungry." Xiao Qiao replied seriously.

Hahaha, this idiot.

Chen Kang smiled in his heart.

"Then do you want to eat something?" He asked tentatively.

Xiao Qiao's eyes widened: "Is it possible?"

Xiao Qiao: "Waiter, another fried rice!"

Chen Kang: "..."

Xiao Qiao slowed down while eating.

"I seem to be a little full."

"Make your eyes big and your belly small."

"I didn't do it on purpose. I squatted at the school gate for four hours today."

Today is a cloudless and fine weather, and the sun in Thailand is especially fierce. In summer, the sun exposure and heat come almost at the same time. Everyone hides at home and blows the air conditioner. I don’t know how he waited for those few hours.

Chen Kang just discovered that Xiao Qiao's entire face was completely red from the sun.

"Why don't you go to the campus police uncle from last time? Then you can turn on the air conditioner and eat biscuits."

Xiao Qiao bit the spoon: "The uncle didn't go to work today, and the others are vicious, I don't want to talk to them."

"Then you said that I am also vicious, why do you still follow me?"

"You're not like them."

This "they" was emphasized by Xiao Qiao, and Chen Kang suddenly felt a little proud.

"Why is it different?"

A piece of rice that Xiao Qiao accidentally got was still in the corner of his mouth.

Chen Kang looked at the rice for a long time while talking with him, and as Xiao Qiao opened and closed his mouth, the rice shook up and down, like a ghost.

He couldn't help but reached out and wiped Xiao Qiao's mouth.

The grain of rice fell.

"Save it for supper tonight?"

"Yes, for your supper." Xiao Qiao chuckled, "You don't think my mouth is dirty today."

Embarrassed, Chen Kang decided to change the subject: "Well, why is it different? You haven't said anything yet."

Xiao Qiao pulled a piece of paper to wipe her mouth: "I choose not to tell you."

Ouch, this bastard has learned to whet people's appetites!

Suddenly, Chen Kang's cell phone rang.

"Hurry up, hurry up! You must have been notified!" Xiao Qiao was very excited.

Chen Kang glanced at Xiao Qiao, why didn't you think it was your Zhou Yi?

He got on the phone.

"Excuse me, are you Chen Kang?"

"Yes, I am."

"Congratulations on passing the second test with the No.1 score. Please go to the Office of the Department of Oriental Languages ​​at three o'clock in the afternoon for a comprehensive interview."

"Thank you."

Chen Kang hung up the phone calmly.

"How's it going? Have you passed yet?" Xiao Qiao almost approached Chen Kang.

"pass."

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

"Idiot, I tell you not to shout loudly in public." Chen Kang reached out and grabbed Xiao Qiao's ear.

"Tuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu I know it."

Chen Kang pursed his lips and smiled, Xiao Qiao frowned and rubbed his ears, his ears turned red after a while.

"Hey, I want to tell you something."

"What?" Xiao Qiao raised his head.

"Zhou Yi seems to have called me, and it was from Piathai." Chen Kang said.

After he finished speaking, he quietly watched Xiao Qiao's reaction.

But Xiao Qiao just said "oh".

"that's it?"

Chen Kang was a little surprised by Xiao Qiao's bland reaction.

"What else? Is Piate in Bangkok?" Xiao Qiao shrugged his nose.

"exist."

"Oh."

Xiao Qiao didn't ask any more questions, and silently took the spoon she just put down in her hand and reached for the plate: "I'm hungry again."

I don't know what that idiot is thinking.

Chen Kang pushed the water in front of Xiao Qiao: "You are already stupid, don't make it even more stupid."

In the afternoon, Chen Kang asked the school police to take good care of Xiao Qiao. He said that this person was particularly afraid of heat. The "vicious" school police smiled at Chen Kang, turning on the air conditioner, no problem, no problem.

Xiao Qiao told him, Chen Kang, you have to work hard.

Chen Kang went to the department head's office alone, and he was going to conduct the final comprehensive interview.

Unexpectedly, when I opened the door and walked in, there were no interviewers as I imagined, only the head of the department.

"Sit down, Chen Kang." The head of the department smiled and beckoned him.

"Thank you."

After Chen Kang sat down, the secretary of the department head brought Chen Kang a cup of Thai tea.

"Please."

"Hmm." Chen Kang felt that the head of the department was very easy-going, so he clasped his hands together and bowed to him.

"Your interpretation this morning is very interesting." The head of the department said, "Several teachers are praising you."

"Knowing how to use your old Chinese to teach modern Chinese can also make students interact with you, which is really good."

Chen Kang didn't know if it was courtesy first, but he nodded politely: "Thank you for the compliment, director, I still need to improve."

"Several people were supposed to interview you today, but I drove them away." The director smiled, "I want to chat with you alone."

Chen Kang was a little surprised.

"You are the only one I decided to stay after reading the resume. I didn't expect your lectures to be so good."

"what?"

"You have a poem on your resume that you wrote."

Hearing this, Chen Kang suddenly thought that the love poem written in Thai for Lu Yao had not been given to her in time.

Later that piece of paper disappeared. I didn't expect it to be caught in my resume. When I arrived in Thailand, it was in the hands of the head of the department.

Chen Kang smiled awkwardly: "Write it casually."

"If love rises with the sun, I will wait on the hillside where it sets. If love falls with you, I will turn into the dawn and find you in your dreams."

The head of the department silently read the last two lines of the poem.

Chen Kang couldn't recite the whole poem anymore, he only remembered himself immersed in happiness at that time.

His enthusiasm remained in the poem, Lu Yao had already left, and he was slowly letting go.

Only Xiao Qiao was still struggling in front of Chen Kang to show him, her heart was still alive.

Strange, why would you think of him?

"It's so beautiful." The head of the department sighed. "An old man like me can't write a sentence like that anymore."

Chen Kang felt that he really liked the poem, and said slowly, "I will give you the poem, and you can read it to your lover."

Unexpectedly, the head of the department suddenly smiled: "She is in the sky, I have already read it to her."

Chen Kang also laughed.

"Have you considered joining Jura?"

"I'm still hesitating."

"It seems that your heart is not really here yet."

"Yes."

"How long do you need to think about it, Chen Kang?"

How long?I never thought that I would succeed in the interview. If I insist on staying in Thailand, my parents will definitely agree.

But he just came to relax, that's all, there is no reason for him to stay.

"I want to go around in the next period of time. I haven't traveled well during my time in Thailand." Chen Kang said.

When he left the director's office, the department head left Chen Kang with his personal phone number and told him to call him after he thought about it.Also, if Chen Kang writes poetry again, he wants to be the first to read it.Chen Kang nodded, if he meets the next person who is important to him, he will write poems for him.

"Thailand is a very good country." The director said, "Pattaya is suitable for you young people to play."

This suggestion is a little subtle.

On the way back with Xiao Qiao, Xiao Qiao kept bouncing up and down.

"Chen Kang, you are amazing, you actually said that you think about it, other people can't get in even if they squeeze their heads!"

"I really didn't think about it."

Chen Kang gave Xiao Qiao a hand: "I don't even look at the car."

"Cars in Thailand should give way to pedestrians." Xiao Qiao smiled foolishly, and after laughing, "If I were you, you don't have to think about it. Thailand is so good. I want to settle here in the future."

"What about your family? Do they agree?"

"You mean my parents? My parents have passed away long ago, and my aunt doesn't care much about me."

His parents - died.

Chen Kang didn't know how to continue: "Well, what..."

"You don't have to worry about it, I didn't say anything. Although my parents passed away, the money they left for me is enough for me to start a small business in Thailand."

"I used to think that if Zhou Yi went to work as a white-collar worker, I would open a hotel next to his work unit, be a small boss, and live a comfortable life."

"Haha, think too far." Xiao Qiao waved his hand.

Why is there always a person named Zhou Yi in his life plan?

Without Zhou Yi, would he not be alive?

Why can this idiot be so rampant and wanton?

Why can the bastard who abandoned people still enjoy such treatment?

Chen Kang felt a little bored: "Are you still looking for Zhou Yi?"

"Look, why not?" Xiao Qiao laughed.

He still believes that fool, walking slowly, but always moving forward.

"We're going to Pattaya tomorrow."

Chen Kang looked at Xiao Qiao's back and said.

"Ok?"

Xiao Qiao turned her head, but Chen Kang's expression could not be seen clearly against the backlight.

But he heard Chen Kang say.

"Can you stop looking for him now?"
