From Pokfulam to Central

After resting for nearly two months, Qian Jing finally resumed training for the players, and this was the first time since the end of the last match that Wang Yingwei had the opportunity to see Qu Zhi outside school hours.

Chen Shuo didn't come to today's training, so Qu Zhi left alone after the end.Wang Yingwei was about to go to the subway station, and happened to be in the same direction as Qu Zhi. She ran two steps, and after catching up, she called out, "Qu Zhi."

Qu Zhi knew who it was just by hearing the voice, and thought that she was a teammate who was going to play with him after all, so hiding was not an option, so he stopped and turned around, and saw Wang Yingwei running towards him.

"You're walking too fast," Wang Yingwei ran out of breath, her lips were bright red, her cheeks showed two touches of pink, she stared at a pair of big watery eyes, and said in a simple tone: "Why have you ignored me recently?"

This is a bit knowingly asking, Qu Zhi is not easy to answer, so he can't tell the truth.

Fortunately, Wang Yingwei didn't have the idea of ​​getting an answer, and even seemed to have forgotten what happened before, and said with a normal expression: "By the way, during the training just now, I saw that something was wrong between you and Teacher Qian. What do you do?" Didn’t he offer you an olive branch two days ago, wanting you to study for his Ph.D.?”

Qu Zhi was unexpected. Teacher Qian obviously talked to him alone about this matter, so he asked nervously, "How do you know?"

"Ah? Everyone knows it," Wang Ying slightly brushed her hair on her shoulders. Hong Kong has started to heat up recently, and she was really sweating a little during the two steps just now. Open, don't mention how envious your classmates are, you must know that Teacher Qian's Ph.D. is notoriously difficult to pass."

With Qian Jing's level and reputation in the academic world, there are many people who want to worship him as a teacher, and it is not easy for those who are lucky enough to be selected.Qu Zhi knew this in his heart, but he didn't want to face it, but now that Wang Yingwei pointed it out, he couldn't help but doubt himself: Is he so indecisive, could he be too ignorant of flattery?

Seeing that Qu Zhi didn't look happy when he mentioned this matter, Wang Yingwei asked in confusion, "What's going on, you don't want to go, do you?"

Qu Zhi didn't really want to talk to Wang Yingwei at first, but after all, this matter has been on his mind for a long time. He couldn't discuss it with Zhou Mi, and he was always unwilling to bother Chen Shuo. Secondly, I chose this not very suitable conversation partner.

Qu Zhi nodded hesitantly, and said, "I really don't want to go, but it's not because of Teacher Qian, it's because I don't want to study any more. The goal I have set for myself all along is to get a master's degree. I only want to study now. I want to graduate early and find a good job to make money, you may not imagine how much I look forward to leaving school one day."

Wang Yingwei can understand that students with average or even upper-middle grades choose to work directly, but for those with top grades like Qu Zhi, in her opinion, they should go to research to give full play to their advantages, "However, your grades in professional courses have always been so good. Now that papers have been published in international journals, would it be too wasteful to give up the academic path at this time?"

Qu Zhi heard many students and teachers ask similar questions when he was an undergraduate, but only this time he was very frank, "I'm not afraid of your jokes. I know, I really have no interest in this major, or more accurately, I hate it. The reason why I can persist until now is because I know that if I can graduate from this major with honors, I will definitely be able to be in the top A high-paying job in a law firm. And just to become a lawyer, a master’s degree from the University of Hong Kong is enough.”

Wang Yingwei really never imagined that he would hear the word "disgusting" from Qu Zhi's mouth.She was indeed like others before, thinking that Qu Zhi loved this major, and that he would definitely accept Teacher Qian's offer, and even began to include his part in her future plans because of this.

Counting the four years of living in Hong Kong during his undergraduate studies, Wang Yingwei only needs to stay here for two more years after graduation this year to obtain permanent residence status.And if Qu Zhi continues to stay and study in the next two years, Wang Yingwei believes that he will win him one day.It's a pity that in the end, I found that all this was just my own wishful thinking.

Wang Yingwei couldn't help but be disappointed, but after thinking about it carefully, he found that although Qu Zhi's words just now sounded very firm, in fact he still hasn't formally rejected Teacher Qian.

Realizing this, Wang Yingwei felt that there might be a turning point in the matter, and she thought that she should help Qu Zhi to understand his own heart and make a "correct" choice, "You said you don't like the law, so you don't want to continue studying , but if you have this mentality, can you be happy when you work in a law firm? Isn’t the work you will be exposed to at that time still related to the law? So, I think you might as well read a If you want to earn a Ph.D., you can go to university to become a teacher, the job is easy, and you can still have time to do what you like on weekdays, and if you feel that you don’t earn enough money, you can also work part-time in a law firm. Isn’t this the best of both worlds?”

The best of both worlds, the best of both worlds.

In the past two days, Qu Zhi has never tried to persuade himself with the words "the best of both worlds".But the more he told himself that it was okay to study for a Ph. D., and that he could help Zhou Mi solve problems, the more he resisted in his heart. He didn't want to be forced by fate to make choices against his will again and again. He had done enough of this kind of thing up.

"You're actually hesitating too," Wang Yingwei deservedly had a clear eye, piercing straight to the point of Qu Zhi's inner struggle, but unfortunately, in terms of guessing the reason, he was in the opposite direction due to the lack of necessary known conditions, wrongly probing: "You don't want to stay in Hong Kong anymore, is it because you plan to return to Beijing with Zhou Mi after graduation?"

Qu Zhi was still immersed in the dilemma of sticking to himself or helping Zhou Mi, when he suddenly heard Wang Yingwei's endless questions, a blank expression appeared on his face for a moment.

But Wang Yingwei thought that she had guessed right, and the long-sealed dissatisfaction in her heart was opened again, and she began to preach emotionally: "Qu Zhi, when will you understand that homosexuality will have no consequences? You want to find a man to spend your whole life. Can your family agree? Taking a step back, even if you don’t care about other people’s opinions, are you not afraid that your parents will be stabbed in the back and say that they have raised an abnormal son? Well, even if you don’t care, You are so obsessed with Zhou Mi that you don’t care about anything else, and you only care about your own happiness. Have you ever thought about the future? When both of you are old and you don’t have a son and a half under your knees, how will you live by then? ?

"Qu Zhi, in the final analysis, this society cannot accept other forms of union between men and women, let alone legal recognition. If you take this step, do you know how many kinds of unions are waiting for you? difficulties? And how many shackles will you be bound by in every aspect of your life?"

Wang Yingwei devoted himself to breaking the straight line, but fortunately, the latter didn't listen to a word.

Entering the house with a heavy heart, Qu Zhi found that Zhou Mi seemed to be waiting for him, and saw him impatiently approaching, and suddenly asked: "Qian Jing wants you to study for his doctorate in exchange for my affairs?"

Qu Zhi asked in a daze, wondering why everyone knew about this in a blink of an eye, "How did you know?"

"Chen Shuo told me." Zhou Mi pulled Qu Zhi to sit down, and said cautiously, "What do you think?"

Qu Zhi was actually very confused, he still couldn't choose to sacrifice himself for Zhou Mi without thinking, he opened and closed his lips a few times before making a sound, "Zhou Mi, I'm sorry, I haven't made up my mind yet."

"You really don't want to study for a Ph. D., do you?" Zhou Mi lowered his body, trying to find out the emotion in Qu Zhi's drooping eyebrows and eyes, "I remember you told me that you want to work immediately after graduation?"

Zhou Mi was able to remember what he had said in passing, which moved Qu Zhi very much, but the more this happened, the more Qu Zhi didn't know how to choose, so he just nodded passively.

"Then don't promise him." Zhou Mi said decisively.

"Ah?" Qu Zhi couldn't believe that this sentence would come out of Zhou Mi's mouth.Although it was a bit difficult to say, Qu Zhi had to admit that at that moment, he suddenly felt relieved.

Zhou Mi stretched out his hand to stroke his soft hair, "Qu Zhi, listen carefully, I don't want you to mess up your plans for me, and you don't want you to always think about others and wrong yourself. Seeing you like this, I will feel sorry for you, I will love everything the kind of pain."

Qu Zhi stared blankly at Zhou Mi with a sense of peace that he had never felt before.

"Don't worry, I've already convinced other people in the expert committee that they are all willing to stand on our side, not just Qian Jing. Let's go, I'll accompany you to reject his offer, and go now."
