Hechun and Jingming

He Chun sat in the corner, listening to He Rong and Qu Jingming talk, during which he replied two emails, investigated a minor mistake of a subordinate that was not worth mentioning, and then chatted with him.He was so busy and had nothing to do, like a boring man who was forced to listen to the women's trivia, with a dull face and yawning, as if he didn't care what was being talked about there.

But the chatter over there will always float into his ears.

He couldn't help but pinch his phone to piece together Qu Jingming's life trajectory over the past few years from the reminiscences over there.

Qu Jingming first went abroad to New York and lived in the home of an old Swiss couple who were Qu Yang's friend and his guardian in the United States.During her stay in New York, Xue Bingbing only went to see him once. Later, she heard on the phone that her husband didn’t want her to be too involved in his son’s life. It must also be thrown into the past, for fear that Xue Bingbing's too much contact with children now will destroy the existing life.

Therefore, Qu Jingming lived in New York for two years, and his contacts with Xue Bingbing were no different from when they were separated by the ocean.Later, he was admitted to the University of Washington to study clinical medicine and pharmacy, and he basically lived in Seattle. In the first two years, he would go back to the Swiss couple in New York for Christmas and Thanksgiving. From the third year, the old couple traveled around the world, and he did not go back.

After graduating from the University of Washington, he went to Boston University to continue his studies. Now he has obtained a Ph. The state is also the best general hospital in the province. He landed only the day before yesterday. He was busy all day yesterday, and today he went to see a senior introduced by a teacher... Speaking of which, he apologized for coming to the door the second day after he returned to China.

However, after he said the word "sorry" three times, He Chun frowned, feeling uncomfortable somewhere, and couldn't wait to find something to interrupt him: "Sister, I'm going back, I'm really sleepy. "

As expected, Qu Jingming's last word was blocked abruptly by him, like a cliff hanging precariously.He Chun couldn't tell where his discomfort came from, he just didn't want to hear words like "I'm sorry", "Sorry", "I'm sorry" coming from Qu Jingming's mouth, and he couldn't figure out the reason for a while, I had no choice but to avoid it simply and rudely.

After speaking, he stood up from the corner of the sofa that had collapsed into a nest, and He Rong then divided his attention to him: "Where are you going? Aren't you staying at home tonight?"

He Chun yawned a lot, tears glistened in his eyes, and he wiped it away: "Sister, I will be 30 years old soon, there is no reason to live in my sister's house all the time, it is more comfortable to go back to my small second-hand apartment , you guys chat, I fainted for two hours today, I have to go back and make up."

Hearing this, Qu Jingming also stood up: "I should go back too, I have to report to the department early tomorrow morning."

He Chun Yuguang glanced at him, feeling a premonition in his heart, before he figured it out, he heard Qu Jingming say: "I live a little far away, do you have time to give me a ride?"

He Chun twitched his eyebrows and stared at Qu Jingming, a little dazed.It was the first time since he entered the room that he looked directly at Qu Jingming's face. He found that Qu Jingming looked different from before. When he was a child, he looked very similar to Qu Yang, with sharp lines on his face It seems that he always has a cold face, and the whole appearance is a bit cold; now I don't know what kind of soft ingredients are mixed into this face, and the facial features have a gentle and warm expression, which softens the cold lines. A little bit, and wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses that gentle scum loves, looking over with a smile, you can faintly see the beauty inherited from Xue Bingbing, such a face is framed on a slightly slender frame due to tall and thin , she interpreted one word all over her body: beauty.

He Chunduo looked at him for a moment and felt terrified, so he looked away and walked towards the door: "Okay, then hurry up, it's almost ten o'clock."

Qu Jingming bid farewell to He Rong, who nodded with a light smile. After she had a child, she looked like a person who really lived in the world. There were fireworks and trivialities in her eyes. Looking at the two children in front of her, she also had The kind of unreasonable, motherly pampering that never existed in the past, this pampering washed away her hidden worries to the extreme.

She sent the children to the door, and told them: "Everyone will come back for dinner tomorrow, and no one can be absent." This was mainly for He Chun, who knew each other very well, and said "oh" while putting on his shoes, and He Rong said to Qu Jing Ming said, "Unfortunately today, Hechun's aunt is not very sober, and she didn't recognize you when she looked at you. Maybe it will be better tomorrow. She is suffering from dementia now and then."

Qu Jingming seems to be very adaptable and tolerant, and now he is talking about his parents' idiots, and he nodded obediently: "It's okay, I have also studied a little bit of dementia, and I will show it to her later."

At this time, Hechun had already put on his shoes and was standing by the door waiting for him.

"Then I'll go." He waved to He Rong.

He Rong nodded, watching the two children out of the yard, saw the lights of He Chun's car parked outside the yard, and heard it speeding away, then closed the door, looked back at the empty house, and stood there for a while.She can still be regarded as a beautiful woman now, but no matter how beautiful she is, she is still a woman whose youthful personality has been polished by family life, and no matter how unyielding she is, she will lose a certain spirit.

She felt that although she had no regrets so far in her life, she inevitably had regrets.

Then I began to soften my heart, hoping that the children would have less regrets and maintain their spirit and vigor.

She sighed, and made a rare call to Qu Yang once in ten years. The anchor of Qu was at the most relaxing time of the day, and she answered the phone lazily. At the end, he asked with a smile, "Why are you in the mood to call me?"

The friendship between them was limited to Xue Bingbing when they were young, and Qu Jingming when they were middle-aged. In fact, the meaning is more difficult than the thin friendship, and there is really nothing worthy of daily contact.She chuckled, this time without any resentment, and said in a flat tone: "I just want to tell you as an insider that your son is back."

There was silence for a while, and when Qu Yang spoke again, there was no longer that smile, and there was some helplessness: "He went to your side?"

He Rong said: "Yes."

Qu Yang: "Attack who?"

He Rong: "What do you think?"

Qu Yang paused, and laughed at himself in a low voice: "He still blames me... He's really one-sided, and I don't know who he looks like."

He Rong listened impatiently to his emotion, and said: "I have notified you in place, you can take care of it yourself."

As he was speaking, he was about to hang up the phone, and the receiver was halfway down, when Qu Yang added: "You don't care this time?"

After thinking about it, she picked up the receiver again, and spat coldly into the phone as she did when she was full of vigor in the past: "You don't know your son too well, I advise you to force him less, otherwise he won't blame you gone."

After finishing speaking, he really put down the phone and sat alone on the sofa, involuntarily falling into memories.

While Fangzhou's economy continues to develop rapidly, the traffic has also suffered from the common problems of big cities. At ten o'clock at night, there are still traffic jams on the main roads in the city. The lead singer sang and spoke to express some incomprehensible feelings or thoughts, accompanied by noisy sound effects, metal instrument sounds, and opera-like singing clips, it was very lively... But even so, Hechun still yawned again and again .

Qu Jingming handed him a napkin.

He Chun lowered his eyebrows and took a look, then wiped away his tears, and said vaguely: "I probably haven't slept for more than five hours in a week, and I don't usually do that, maybe I drank some wine today... .By the way, Ah Gang got married today, do you still remember this person?"

He seemed to have finally found an interesting topic, and he seemed a little excited. Before Qu Jingming could answer, he talked about the wedding one after another, and made an oral replay of the wedding without stopping, with some The two have worked together in their careers and shared joys and sorrows over the years, and their words are full of emotion like today when he married his daughter. At the end, he sighed like everyone else: "Why did this silly boy get married?"

Qu Jingming remained silent while listening to him, then turned his head, looked at him for a moment, and said, "What about you?"

Hechun didn't react: "What?"

Qu Jingming tilted his head slightly, leaned on the back of the chair, and cast his eyes on the rearview mirror, easily catching He Chun's furtive glance at him.Caught off guard, Hechun was a little uncomfortable, and looked away resentfully, the hand holding the steering wheel subconsciously beat the tempo with the enchanting music, but the music had already come to an end, and the car fell into silence for a short time.

Qu Jingming said, "Do you have a girlfriend, and do you plan to get married?"

He Chun said "Oh", cleared his throat, and replied, "I don't have that time."

Qu Jingming smiled: "Then what's the plan?"

"Planning..." He Chun dragged out a bit of the end, and then heaved a long sigh, which sounded full of sighs in the middle of a journey, and the music was about to start again, but he reached out and turned it off directly, making the car completely silent, pointing at random. Pointing to the buttocks of the car in front, "My current life is like a traffic jam at this moment, hanging in the air, and there are still many things waiting for me to do in front of me. I can't see the end, and I can't see when life will become more regular and peaceful." Stability... Married and living alone, there must be the same rules and stability, right? I don't have any, and I can't plan at all."

Qu Jingming said, "Oh." Nodding his chin at the rear of the car he pointed out just now, "Here, the car is moving, we can go now."

He Chun is the driver, so of course he always pays attention to the road conditions and is ready to rush out of this section of road immediately.But...he took a peek at Qu Jingming from the rearview mirror again, and found that he raised such a topic that seemed to have a meaning, and he just closed his eyes and rested in peace.

that's all?that's all? !

Hechun is very annoyed.

Under the guidance of Qu Jingming, the car drove halfway through the city and stopped in a community near a hospital. It was a residential community that had been developed very early. From the outside, the walls were peeling off, and moss and grass grew on the base of the walls. It is low and clumps, and it can raise frogs visually, which is worse than No. 68 in Genzhuyuan.

He Chun couldn't help but say, "Hey, are you staying here temporarily, or will you be living here from now on?"

Qu Jingming: "Let's stay here temporarily, and we'll see the situation later. This place is close to the hospital, so it's fine to just live here, anyway..."

"How long?" He Chun asked.

Qu Jingming understood, He Chun was asking how long this exchange will last.

In fact, when he went to Qinshan Manor to find his senior in the morning, when he ran into He Chun, he was not ready to meet him; when he came to visit He Rong at night, he also planned it in advance.It is true that when he saw that the project exchange unit was Fangzhou No. [-] Hospital, he almost desperately took the exchange opportunity in order to come back and meet these people, especially this person, but he could not predict the result at all.

During these years of living alone, he only knows one thing, that is, the world is not mathematics, and it cannot be deduced clearly by logic, nor can it be carried out by formulas.Therefore, he can only uphold the attitude of letting nature take its course, hoping to find at least one answer.

"Half a year." He replied softly.

He Chun nodded: "After half a year, you will return to the United States?"

Qu Jingming: "According to the hospital plan."

He Chun: "Very good. Get out of the car. I'll pick you up at the hospital tomorrow and go to your sister's house for dinner. What time is it?"

Qu Jingming: "I don't know yet, I can go there by myself, and I will contact you if necessary."

He Chun said "hmm", watched Qu Jingming get out of the car, waved to each other, and drove away without staying too long.After driving for a while, he pressed half of the car window, and the night wind rushed into the car immediately, and the past flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern. Some pictures that he hadn't touched for a long, long time came out unexpectedly, and they flashed, Then it was blurred, it was heavy, but it couldn’t bring a ripple in his heart, it was light, and it made his throat choke; he tried to touch the beating thing in his chest, and asked how it felt now, But the wind blew him awake, and he couldn't express any emotions that could be described or defined.

He has lived for nearly 30 years, and he is most at a loss tonight.
