if you serious you lose

"Jiezi, I'm going back to China in a few days, why, don't say it, it's been a while since my brothers have had a good drink!"

Hearing the familiar loud voice from the microphone, Qin Jie felt more clearly the fact that he was really going back to China soon.

Before that, I have been busy with various projects assigned by my mentor, or I have been handing over some work with my juniors and younger sisters.

Although they are all preparing for returning to China, but because they are too busy to think about it, Qin Jie has always felt that he does not know why he is busy. He just thinks that he is studying and working as usual. .

Now, Qin Jie woke up like a dream after a phone call from his good brother, and he began to look forward to his return to China.

"Hahaha, Li Zi, don't worry, your 'benefits' are indispensable! You guys, just book a hospital bed, and when I go back, I will drink you into the operating room one by one!"

"Just blow it up, clean it up, and wait for you!" Li Zi was very satisfied with Qin Jie's bluff at this time, this is his familiar buddy.

After hanging up the phone, Qin Jie began to check his luggage again.

Qin Jie's apartment was moved in for more than a year after he became a teaching assistant. It was not as good as the student apartment he had been renting for a long time, but he couldn't help but develop feelings for him.

The bookcases and wardrobes are almost empty. In fact, I don’t have many clothes. Some household items and professional books that I want to take back to China have already been sealed in cardboard boxes and ready to be shipped back to China.

But a royal blue 28-inch trolley case is still unknowingly full of leftover items.

In the final analysis, it has been seven years since I came out, so long, Qin Jie closed his eyes and said with a smile.

Seven years ago, after ending his second bitter love, Qin Jie boarded a plane to the other side of the ocean.

He was glad that he had such a chance to go away, at least he could have a place where no one would disturb him and slowly heal his wounds after he chicly wished his ex-boyfriend and his true love a happy marriage.

In another distant country, Qin Jie was immersed in his studies and academics during the intense master's study and later decided to study for a Ph. This faint heartache gradually became negligible.

After becoming a university teaching assistant, Qin Jie's academic research ability has been recognized by more people in the industry. A few months ago, at an international academic exchange meeting, he ran into a tutor from his domestic undergraduate alma mater.

It was this reunion with the tutor after a long absence, as well as a series of exchanges with the tutor on the status quo of domestic academic research, that made Qin Jie feel that it was time to return to China for development, so he accepted the recommendation of the tutor and decided to return to his alma mater as an economics manager. Lecturer of the college.

This time, when I go back to the familiar circle, I will inevitably meet my ex-boyfriend again.

However, he thought, this is nothing new. His personality has always been popular, so he has many friends. Even if his sexual orientation is a bit different, it doesn't affect his popularity too much.

As for the two ex-boyfriends, Qin Jie thought that they broke up peacefully without breaking up.

So, now that we know that they each have a happy life, in this case, as long as you think about it, you can face it as you want when you go back, then it will be no problem.

Thinking of this, he patted his face with satisfaction, lifted his spirits, and prepared to continue to complete the last part of the materials needed for the handover of the school's research.

That's right, Qin Jie is this kind of person. Although he worries about others more than himself, he is also someone who easily let himself go.

Not entangled, not entangled, is his greatest advantage.

At least, his previous relationship experience made him feel lucky for his character, otherwise, according to his own words before, he would either be willing to degenerate or not far from being disillusioned.

City S is an open and international metropolis. It is near the sea and has a pleasant climate. Even though it is August, there is not too much sunshine.

Qin Jie, who has lived in California for seven years, enjoys the sunshine of his hometown for many years, thinking that perhaps it is because the sunshine in his hometown is so bright that he has not spent much time adapting to the climate of California.

Qin Jie's parents divorced the day after his college entrance examination, and now both of them have formed a new family, adding a half brother and a half sister to him.

Perhaps this is one of the reasons why Qin Jie has not returned to China for the past seven years. He always feels that returning to China seems to disturb his parents who are enjoying the second spring of life.

However, Qin's father and Qin's mother have always felt ashamed of the eldest son. At first, they didn't want to affect the child's study, even though the two had long since lost their relationship, they did not officially divorce until after the college entrance examination.

However, after telling Qin Jie that he was not surprised to see him, still with his usual gentle smile, speaking in support of his parents' divorce, Qin Jie's parents realized that this smiling son had already understood everything.

So when he was in college, Qin Jie's positive attitude towards his parents' remarriage did not surprise his parents.

After all, Qin Jie has always been a person who is willing to accept reality and is willing to accept it.

However, Qin Jie's parents have not seen this son for seven years. They are busy taking care of the new family and they can no longer give more care to this eldest son.

Although on weekdays, Qin Jie would contact them on time to report his safety and give greetings, but in the dead of night, when the two of them thought of this son, they would always feel distressed.

Qin's father and Qin's mother gradually understood that the reason why they persisted in choosing not to divorce in those years was actually not wise enough. In the end, the only thing that hurt the most from this failed marriage was their son.

This time, Qin Jie also told his parents when he returned to China for development. The two elders were very excited. They both expressed that they were going to pick up the plane and hoped that their son would live with him first when he came back. Then the two sides actually quarreled in the video about who would pick up the plane and who would stay. , which made him dumbfounded, but he was also very moved.

In the end, Qin Jie made a final decision and decided that no one would come to pick him up at the airport. He would directly live in the apartment close to the university that he had found with a friend before, and then find another time for everyone to have a reunion dinner.

Although the parents were not very happy, they had no choice but to compromise.

So, after getting off the plane, seeing Li Zi who came to pick him up, and feeling the sunshine in his hometown, Qin Jie returned to his apartment non-stop, bid farewell to his friends, and began to tidy up his new home.

Considering the place of work, the residence Li Zi helped Qin Jie find was located in the university district of the city, which belonged to a high-rise elevator room.

It is only ten minutes' walk away from the university where I teach. Although it does not belong to the traditional city center, because it is a higher education planning area, it is actually not far from the center. The surrounding facilities are complete and the transportation is convenient.

According to Qin Jie's own request, he was looking for a one-bedroom, 70-square-meter bachelor apartment.

Although the area is not large, it is spacious and comfortable to live alone because of the proper space layout and simple design.

The housing prices and rents in this area have never been low, but because of the university's housing subsidies for teachers, Qin Jie still has enough financial means to live here.

In addition, thanks to the thoughtfulness of Li Zi and his wife Xiaoqian, they not only helped Qin Jie find such a comfortable place to live, but also asked someone to clean it the day before he returned to China.

This greatly reduced Qin Jie's workload, as he only needed to arrange things well.

A large number of Qin Jie's books and household items have also been sent to the new residence. Several large boxes are piled up in the living room. After making himself a cup of instant coffee, he continued to organize.

This is a grueling task for Qin Jie. He is not a person who lives meticulously and is good at housework. In addition, it is midsummer and the weather is hot. Considering the ventilation, the dust is not easy to accumulate in the room, so he dare not turn on the air conditioner. , only relying on a fan with limited wind power to regulate the body temperature that is constantly rising due to work.

However, due to lack of rest, lack of energy and physical exertion on the long-distance flight, Qin Jie finally fell to the ground and fell asleep after half of the training, until he was woken up by the phone ringing.

"Xiaojie, have you returned to the place where you live? Why didn't you call mom when you got here? You haven't eaten yet. How about coming to mom for dinner? Mom will pick you up."

It was Qin's mother who called, with a complaining tone.

"Mom, I'm tired from flying for such a long time. I fell asleep as soon as I got back to the apartment. I didn't have time to inform you, sir. I won't go tonight. I'll eat whatever I want, and I still have a lot of things to pack."

Knowing his mother's personality well, Qin Jie continued to explain without waiting for a response from the other end of the phone: "I haven't reversed the jet lag yet, I just caught up on sleep, and I plan to work quickly while I'm refreshed, otherwise I don't know how long it will take It will take days to sort it out. I’ll call and make an appointment with you when I’m done in a few days.”

"Hey, then remember to eat and call mom as soon as possible. I haven't seen you for so long. Mom wants to see you with her own eyes. Huanhuan also said that she wants to meet her big brother."

Listening to Qin Jie's hoarse voice, which could not conceal the tiredness, Qin's mother choked up a little. Maybe it was because she hadn't seen her eldest son for a long time, or maybe she felt sorry for his loneliness.

I don't know when it started, Qin's mother always had a kind of concern that she didn't dare to interfere too much with her son's plan. After hearing her son's words, she knew that even if she was in a city now, it was impossible to meet immediately. A woman who is good at expressing her feelings becomes emotional all of a sudden.

"Oh my god, mom, don't be so sensational, please do it, I promise to see you as soon as possible, and Huanhuan too, I prepared a gift for her, please keep it secret for me first!"

Hearing the change in the mother's voice on the other end of the phone, knowing that he must have hurt the heart of this increasingly fragile mother, Qin Jie hurriedly comforted him helplessly.

"Well, okay, you must keep your word, then mom won't bother you, so take your time to clean up."

Finally finished the phone call with Qin's mother, Qin Jie once again felt the power of love can make people regain vitality, the mother who is always so temperamental in memory, her smile is invisible, since her remarriage, the whole person is different up.

She would complain, act like a baby, and even often see her wiping tears on video calls. At first, she frightened Qin Jie, but then she gradually got used to it, and made herself more convinced that the choice of divorce was wise. How much tasted the sour mental journey.

But seeing the mother who has become so real and lovely today, and the father who has also become happy and cheerful, the past has really become unimportant.

Closing his eyes again, Qin Jie sighed slightly, wiped his wet forehead with his hands, and the hot wind blowing from the electric fan was not only unpleasant, but also made people feel that the head began to swell slightly, and the whole body The feeling of hot flashes made Qin Jie feel more and more uncomfortable. A burst of irritability surged in his heart, and he simply left the living room floor where he had been lying on for an unknown amount of time.
