if you serious you lose

Although the appointment time with his senior was at nine o'clock, Qin Jie arrived half an hour earlier than the agreed time. He planned to wait in the hotel lobby and search S city for any recommended attractions by the way.

Unexpectedly, not long after he sat down, he saw a familiar figure walking into the lobby. Qin Jie checked carefully and couldn't help laughing. When he found that the other person was wearing earphones, he got up and greeted him.

"Brother!" Qin Jie patted the strong arm of the man in front of him. Qin Jie successfully made Wu Tao show a surprised expression, and then quickly took off the earphones and the mobile phone fixed on his left arm to check the time.

"Why did you come so early, I thought I had passed the time again."

Seeing Wu Tao dressed in a vest, shorts, and sneakers, Qin Jie once again admired his brother's body management ability.

"Senior Brother, you are so persevering, can't you rest for a few days?"

Wu Tao took Qin Jie to his room, stretched out his hands to beat his body, shook his head and said.

"Jiezi, you really didn't persevere. Back then, I dragged you to practice together, but you didn't care about it. If you really experienced the fun of fitness, you wouldn't take this exercise as a task. .I don’t feel comfortable if I don’t run for a day.”

"Hey, I will only go to the rescue when I am fattened to the naked eye. Of course I can't compare with senior brother."

Wu Tao could only roll his eyes back at Qin Jie's upright look, but in fact, he just randomly checked Qin Jie's muscle condition. Although it was far from his own standard, there were obviously signs of exercise.

"Okay, don't brag about me there, I'm doing it for my own sake," swiped his card into the room, Wu Tao asked Qin Jie to sit for a while, and took off his soaked vest, facing the bathroom. The mirror said with emotion, "To be honest, people like us will end up lonely forever if we are not careful, so take good care of your body and enjoy it for a few more years."

"Senior brother, why did you suddenly become sentimental? Go take a shower and wash away all these negative emotions."

Qin Jie went to the bathroom, helped Wu Tao close the door, and sat back on the sofa by himself.

Five minutes later, Wu Tao came out covered in steam, and saw Qin Jie staring out the window in a daze. After brushing short hair that didn't need to be dried at all, after tidying himself up, he landed next to Qin Jie, raised his hand and locked his neck, pulled and hooked and lifted, and then heard a sound scream.

"Wow, how old are you this year, and you still like this kind of trick so much, old-fashioned." After finally freeing himself from the imprisonment of this muscular man, Qin Jie couldn't help but turn on the mocking mode.

"The tricks are not old and new, but they work. Whoever called me sentimental just now, now I look up at the sky at that 45-degree angle."

In fact, Qin Jie didn't think about anything just now, he just let go for a while, and when he heard what his senior said, he patted his face to cheer up his spirits.

"Chun sleepy, just go out and bask in the sun later. Can you go? I will take you to drink morning tea later. A friend took me there before. It tastes very authentic. Do you remember what we ate in ChinaTown before?" Cantonese-style tea house, this one is much better than that one, and the quantity is more sufficient."

"When you say that, my stomach growls, so let's go."

After getting into the taxi, Qin Jie took out his mobile phone to confirm the number of his reservation, and found that there were still five tables ahead, and calculated the time, it should be about the same.

When he arrived at the destination, he saw that the queuing area of ​​the restaurant was overcrowded as expected. Wu Tao lamented the enthusiasm of the Chinese people for eating, and at the same time looked forward to the morning tea.

"Jiezi, how many times have you been here, we don't have to queue up and go straight in? Are you a VIP?"

Hearing Wu Tao's words, Qin Jie couldn't help being overjoyed, "I got the number on my mobile phone, and I specially set the alarm clock in the morning to wait for the queue. Otherwise, I would wait until the year of the monkey."

Before returning to China, Wu Tao had heard about the powerful functions of domestic mobile phone payment and reservation. Since yesterday, he found that Qin Jie can basically solve everything with his mobile phone, and he has never used cash at all.

"Then why are these people still queuing up? They won't have any objections if we just walked in like this when we first arrived?"

"This can be regarded as a disadvantage of the transition period of consumption patterns. Although it is inevitable, just like the smartphones of the year, some people have difficulty keeping up with the trend in time, or because of different concepts and preferences, they just don't accept it, but In reality, the overall environment is developing in this direction. It can only be said that if you choose, you have to pay the price. Even those of us who use mobile phones to pay do not have to bear the risks of privacy and network security. However, many people who come to line up in person are Middle-aged and elderly people, in fact, I personally think that the hotel can set up some preferential treatment conditions for the elderly, or open some special hours on weekdays, after all, weekends are the main time for young people to go out.”

"Look at me, I have brought out your occupational diseases, haha, but people like me, who have lived in the big rural areas of the United States for more than ten years, still envy such a convenient life. Hehe, I downloaded a domestic app before I came here. You can teach me how to use it at night, so when I go to the capital for a meeting, I won’t expose my rustic temperament in front of them.”

Wu Tao went abroad for his undergraduate degree. At that time, e-commerce apps hadn’t emerged yet, so he has always been interested. This time he returned to China for half a month, and wanted to take the opportunity to experience the convenience of the Celestial Dynasty. S City was specially created for Qin Dynasty. Jie came here. In fact, the real reason for returning to China was to go to the capital to attend an academic conference. At that time, I would be surrounded by people I didn't know, so I wanted to find Qin Jie to "guidance" myself this week.

"Oh, brother, you are really... no problem, but I only started to explore after returning to China. Don't forget that I lived in the 'big countryside' like you more than a year ago. So I can be very responsible. Let me tell you, these are not as difficult as you think, as long as you have your bank card ready."

The waiter led them to a seat by the window, and Wu Tao quickly handed Qin Jie the menu, asking him to take charge, and he said a few impressive dim sums he had eaten abroad.

It was also the first time for Qin Jie to look at the menu. He found that the names of the dishes in this restaurant were a bit dizzying. They probably chose the names in a literary style. Many of them did not match the names of Cantonese dim sum in his cognition. Qin Jie was very passive, he could only look at the pictures to order, and sometimes he had to call the waiter to confirm.

"Didn't you come here before? Why don't you understand anything like me. Haha." Seeing Qin Jie's flustered look, Wu Tao couldn't help but tease him.

"I was brought by a friend at the time, and he was in full charge." After finally ordering the food, Qin Jie explained after taking a sip of tea.

He was really embarrassed, and felt that Yan Zhili was a very delicate person. Last time, he was brought here in a daze. He didn't have to worry about anything from the beginning to the end. The dishes are even more intelligible, holding the menu alone, asking him what he likes and what he doesn't like, and quickly sketched it out.

I don't know what he is doing now, Qin Jie couldn't help but think of his lover, he sent a message to Yan Zhilu when he got home yesterday, telling him that he would be with his brother this week, the other party responded quickly, but Qin Jie thought of the people he saw at the airport yesterday, and guessed that Yan Zhili was entertaining friends just like himself, so he didn't continue to chat.

"Is it that plum? The iron buddy you mentioned before?" Wu Tao asked casually. After all, when Qin Jie was abroad, Qin Jie occasionally mentioned interesting things in China, which were always related to plums.

"No, it's a friend I met after returning home."

"Oh, Jiezi, are you really not considering coming back?" Qin Jie poured Wu Tao a cup of chrysanthemum tea, watched him swallow a crystal shrimp dumpling, and immediately put on a face of closing his eyes and enjoying it. expression.

"Why do you ask this suddenly? How long has it been since I've been back to China, and you miss me so much?"

"I miss you very much. There is really no one around you who can talk to you after you leave, but you don't know that the professor has always valued you so much. When he won the project in the Netherlands, he wanted to take you with him. You went with me, but you suddenly said you were going back to your country."

Qin Jie just smiled and didn't respond right away. Wu Tao continued, "And to be honest, in terms of academic research, our school environment is definitely nothing to talk about. As long as you are willing to come back, you will definitely not be treated badly."

"Drink some chrysanthemum tea to moisten your mouth first." Seeing Qin Jie's calm expression, Wu Tao knew that this wave of persuasion was useless, so he simply drank tea obediently.

"Brother, I understand what you said. It was really sudden when I chose to come back, but it was not accidental. After all, I never thought of staying in the United States. I am not afraid to tell you the truth. Over the past year, I have also felt The academic atmosphere is not as good as that over there, but I am very satisfied with other aspects, so..."

"Why do I think it's not the reason? To be honest with senior brother, have you found a man? The 'new friend' you mentioned just now?"

Qin Jie really has nothing to do with this senior brother who has a sixth sense that is not inferior to women, but after thinking about it, he really has nothing to hide, so he admits openly: "Your skill has not diminished at all, it is indeed him, but it is absolutely It’s not the only reason for me to stay, after all, I decided to continue to develop in China before I met him. It should be said that his appearance gave me the idea of ​​living here better.”

Staring at those small eyes, Wu Tao was pleasantly surprised, but then asked in a lonely and aggrieved tone: "You really left me behind, and you agreed to be single and grow old together... Hey, let me ask again. One sentence, is your man one of the three at the airport yesterday? Wow, he can't be that big beauty, the one in ancient costume!"

Qin Jie was drinking tea, and almost spit it out, "No! Besides, the beauty's dress is not considered an ancient costume, it's an improved version of a long gown. It's terrible to be uneducated."

"Tch, it doesn't matter, then your taste has changed a lot, oh, no wonder you were unhappy at that time, it turns out that I coveted your man. Hahaha, why don't you lend him to me for a few days, pity me This man who is about to wither spends money..."

Wu Tao was so excited that he teased Qin Jie meanly.

"Brother, be more reserved, are you worthy of your majestic and majestic appearance?" Qin Jie helplessly helped him pour another cup of tea, hoping to quench his 'fire of desire'.

"Hmph, stingy, anyway, I don't care, you eat alone and don't care about me, so it won't count if you take me to fly at night, right?"

"Don't worry, I have found a bar with a good reputation in this city. It is famous for its cultural diversity and sexual freedom. I will take you there tonight."

Qin Jie spent a lot of time researching a lot of places on the Internet. There are many gay bars in the city, but when he was abroad, he had never seen his brother successfully mixed up with gay bars. He was afraid of scaring him, so he screened them out. Bars that had mixed reviews just by looking at them ended up finding a highly rated place with the fewest reviews.

"Really?! That's great, isn't it purely gay? Otherwise, I'm really stage fright, what's my name?"

"The name is quite special, 'exaggerated', how about it? It sounds quite suitable for your flirtatious personality!"

After breakfast and afternoon tea, Qin Jie sent Wu Tao to the cultural district of S City, where there are museums, art galleries, libraries, bookstores and concert halls and a series of supporting cultural and artistic facilities, which are enough for the seniors who are young at heart to go shopping for a while That's it, after the afternoon's itinerary was settled, and the two of them made an appointment for the time and place to meet again, he went back to school for class.
