Chapter 3 Chapter two

"Didn't Zhou Zhou go to France again later?" Ma Jie asked Qiu Fei suspiciously. Qiu Fei fell into the memories of the night he and Zhou Zhou finally separated.Zhou Zhou drank too much that night and found Qiu Fei. Qiu Fei comforted her, and she fell asleep with her bag in her arms.Qiu Fei wanted to take her bag away, but she hugged her tightly, and just hugged her all night.The next day, when Qiu Fei woke up, Zhou Zhou had disappeared. She left a note for Qiu Fei, saying that she was going to be sent to France by the government.Afterwards, Qiu Fei thought that there was a plane ticket in Zhou Zhou's bag, and he was afraid that he would see it, so he hugged him and did not let go.Later, Qiu Fei called Zhou Zhou's cell phone, but the number had been canceled. Qiu Fei thought that Zhou Zhou had really gone to France, and he was still looking forward to her return.

But why did Zhou Zhou deceive Qiu Fei? Yang Yang said that Zhou Zhou told him that she had been in China for the past few years, but she just changed a company and a different mobile phone number. The reason why she said she was going to France was to separate from Qiu Fei. It's too tiring to be together, I need to adjust for a while, and I also need to calmly think about the relationship between the two.Yang Yang asked Zhou Zhou, what was he thinking?Zhou Zhou said that sometimes life is good alone, and you don’t have to think about anyone else, it’s happier than when you’re two.Yang Yang asked Zhou Zhou how he got here all these years?Zhou Zhou said that when one goes to work alone, no one rushes to the bathroom when one wakes up in the morning; Reading a book, no one disturbed me, and I came here in a blink of an eye.Yang Yang asked who was the man eating with Zhou Zhou, he didn't look like Zhou Zhou's father, Zhou Zhou smiled and didn't answer.

Ma Jie said: "Who is that man? Zhou Zhou must be tired of being alone." After speaking, he glanced at Qiu Fei. Qiu Fei still didn't speak. Zhang Chaofan said: "That's not necessarily true, maybe it's a colleague!" Ma Jie: "I have also worked, and I have had colleagues. Why didn't any female colleagues agree to have dinner with me alone? There must be something wrong with the lonely men and widows." Looking at Qiu Fei again, he said. Yang Yang said: "At that time, I asked specifically if that man was her colleague. Zhou Zhou shook his head and smiled again. This smile had a deep meaning, and it always made me feel that she and that man had a different relationship."

Yang Yang said again, Zhou Zhou turned his head and looked at the man, and the man happened to turn his head to look at Zhou Zhou, and smiled at Zhou Zhou, and then continued to eat.Zhou Zhou glanced at Ding Xiaole, and Yang Yang remembered to introduce them. After the introduction, Zhou Zhou wished him and Ding Xiaole happiness, and then went back to his seat.Yang Yang wanted Zhou Zhou's new mobile phone number, but Zhou Zhou refused to give it, saying that he lived a peaceful life now and didn't want to be disturbed by others.Obviously, Zhou Zhou knew that Yang Yang was asking for the number for Qiu Fei.In the end, Zhou Zhou told Yang Yang that it was best not to tell Qiu Fei about seeing her, because after such a long time, both of them have adapted to the status quo. Don't make new injuries when the wound is healed, just leave after speaking.

Qiu Fei asked Yang Yang: "When did you meet Zhou Zhou?" Yang Yang said: "Last month, Ding Xiaole happened to shoot an advertisement that day and asked me out for dinner." Qiu Fei said, "But why did you tell me now?" Ma Jie said: "Yes, why?!" Yang Yang drank the wine in his glass, poured half of Ma Jie's glass into his own, patted Qiu Fei on the shoulder and said, "Because I don't want to make you suffer!" Yang Yang is right. When Zhou Zhou just left, Qiu Fei couldn't eat or sleep. He lost weight from 140 catties to 120 catties in an instant.Sometimes when he thinks of Zhou Zhou at night, he starts to cough, and his throat is swollen the next day.At that time, his life lost its focus, and he didn't know why he was living.It turned out that when Zhou Zhou was here, there were things worth fighting for, but now he doesn't know what to fight for, so what if he succeeds?He prefers to share the joy of success with Zhou Zhou, but Zhou Zhou disappeared from his side before he succeeded, and Qiu Fei can only taste the pain alone.If you eat too much pain, you won't suffer any more. Qiu Fei gradually got used to life without Zhou Zhou.

Before hearing Zhou Zhou's news, Qiu Fei was quite calm. After hearing the news, although he was calm on the surface, his heart was already turbulent.What Ma Jie said before was also what he was thinking. When encountering such a thing before, he would jump up and look for Zhou Zhou, but now he has learned to control it. Yang Yang said: "I know very well what you were like when Zhou Zhou just left. Now you are basically normal. If I tell you about her, you will be abnormal again, and Zhou Zhou's attitude towards you now Not what you expected." Qiu Fei said: "But why did you suddenly tell me this now? Do you think I can be normal after listening to it now?"

Yang Yang said: "Because I drank too much!" After he finished speaking, his head sank, he lay down on the table, then slipped to the ground, knocked over the row of beer bottles, and several of them shattered. Zhang Chaofan and Ma Jie tried to pull Yang Yang up from the ground, but they couldn't. Yang Yang was already drunk. At this time, people's weight is usually multiplied by two. Ma Jie said, "Qiu Fei, help me carry him to the bed." Qiu Fei sat still, looked at the glass and said, "Is there any more wine?" When he woke up the next day, Qiu Fei found that the mattress was wet.He wondered why he wet the bed at his age.Later, he found the beer can next to him and remembered what happened last night.

At that time Qiu Fei still wanted to drink, Ma Jie said that the wine was gone, Qiu Fei still remembered that Yang Yang said that there was a bottle of cooking wine in the kitchen, and he wanted to drink it, but Ma Jie stopped him and said that it was for cooking and he could not drink it.Qiu Fei drank too much, he didn't believe it, so he took a sip, and it tasted wrong, so he put down the bottle and said he went out to find a drink.Qiu Fei went downstairs, took a taxi, and asked the driver to find a supermarket that was open at night. The driver put him at the entrance of SEVENELEVEN, and he went to buy wine after he got out of the car.

After coming out of the supermarket, Qiu Fei took another taxi and returned to the dormitory instead of going to Yang Yang's with a beer.Yang Yang had already been put to sleep on the bed by Zhang Chaofan and Ma Jie, and they went back to their respective homes.The taxi driver asked Qiu Fei if he had watched the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games tonight. Qiu Fei said he hadn't.Along the way, he was reminiscing about Zhou Zhou's words relayed by Yang Yang. After Qiu Fei returned to the dormitory, there was no one in the room. The people in the same room either rented a house with his girlfriend or went home.There are four people living in a dormitory. From the first day of enrollment, they hope that others can go out to live, so that the dormitory belongs to them, and they can bring their girlfriends in for the night.So they were exhausted, and whoever exhausted to the end would win.Qiu Fei didn't have a girlfriend, so he wasn't in a hurry. He hoped that there would be as many people in the dormitory as possible, so that it would be lively and boring.But people with girlfriends can’t afford it, youth is perishable, and they can’t delay their business just to compete with Qiu Fei for energy consumption. If the girlfriend says they are old, they have to move out, and Qiu Fei is left alone in the dormitory.Living alone is much more free, and there is no need to clean up.It is a bit exaggerated to say that when I was an undergraduate, I didn’t fold the quilts from enrollment to graduation, because the building manager would often come to check the hygiene, but when I was a graduate student, no one would check the hygiene. On the upper bunk, there is a table underneath, so it doesn’t get in the way if you don’t fold it up. In summer, the dormitory has air conditioning, and the quilt doesn’t need to be replaced with a towel quilt. A quilt can be spread out on the bed for three years.Later, when Qiu Fei graduated and packed his luggage, he forgot how to fold the quilt.

Qiu Fei went to bed with a can of beer, opened it, took a sip, lay down with the beer in his hand, and fell asleep as soon as his head touched the pillow.Then the beer spilled and wet the bed, and he didn't know it. Now Qiu Fei has woken up.The only thing that proves he's awake is that he wants to pee. But he didn't immediately jump out of bed and go to the bathroom.In the past three years, postgraduate students have practiced the ability to hold back urine for many postgraduate students, because they sleep on the upper bunk and are too lazy to get out of bed, so they have to hold back.

Qiu Fei lay on the bed and recalled what happened last night.My head is still a little dizzy, and the alcohol has not passed.Every time he got drunk, he would forget some words or things that happened while drinking, but he remembered one thing very clearly yesterday: Zhou Zhou was in China. Thinking of this, Qiu Fei couldn't lie down any longer, and jumped off the upper bunk, his legs were weak because of dizziness, and he almost fell down. After getting out of bed, Qiu Fei didn't know what he should do. After thinking about it for a long time, he thought he might as well pee first. As soon as Qiu Fei entered the bathroom, he heard the voice of "Let's go" from behind the door of the private room.This is the buddy from the dormitory next door coming out. He doesn't moan like others when he poops, but says "Go you" and then comes out.This buddy also likes to smoke in the toilet, not only smoke, but also other gases. He calls it a mixed type.Later, when playing basketball, a buddy likes to say "go you" every time before shooting. Once they met, one attacked and the other defended.The offensive buddy made a jump shot from outside the three-point line and yelled "Go you!" The defensive buddy was going to jump up to block the shot, but when he heard this, he jumped halfway and fell down, clutching his stomach and running to the toilet. Qiu Fei greeted this buddy: "Let's go!" A voice came from the private room: "Are you coming too?" Qiu Fei said: "I don't want to go to the big one yet, let's go to the small one first!" The person in the private room said, "Then I won't be polite." After saying that, he said again, "Let's go!" Qiu Fei frowned and started his own business. Just when Qiu Fei was expressing his desire to urinate, the phone rang.It was Zhao Di who was in the same dormitory as an undergraduate.After graduating, Zhao Di returned to his hometown, and his family found him a job that guaranteed his income during drought and flood. He would never make a fortune, and he would never be hungry. Qiu Fei answered the phone: "Hello!" "What are you doing?" Zhao Di asked excitedly, thinking that Qiu Fei would also be excited when he received his call. "It's peeing!" Qiu Fei said calmly, holding the phone in one hand and holding up the phone in the other. "What a coincidence, I'm peeing too!" Zhao Di said with a smile. "Fuck, you're so boring, you're making a long distance call just to find out if we peed at the same time! I'm done peeing." Qiu Fei handled the aftermath work with one hand. "I just finished peeing, and I heard the sound of you flushing, did you hear me flushing?" Zhao Di asked. Qiu Fei said, "No." Zhao Di said: "That's right, because our flusher is broken and no one has been repairing it. The toilet smells so bad that it choked me to death." Qiu Fei said: "What's the matter, you still have to go to the toilet to talk about it." Zhao Di lowered his voice and said, "It's nothing. I just have a few tickets for the Olympics. I booked them online. I don't have time to watch them now. I'll give them to you. You happen to be in Beijing." Qiu Fei said: "Isn't it just a ticket to the Olympics, and it's not a drug, why are you sneaking around?" Zhao Di lowered his voice and said, "My current girlfriend is in the same office as me. She doesn't know about my ticket booking. You give me your address, and I'll send you the ticket by courier. It's badminton the day after tomorrow. For the competition, the competition venue is in our school." Qiu Fei said: "This is not a bad thing, why don't you let your girlfriend know?" Zhao Di said: "It's a long story, I'll tell you slowly later, and text me your address." After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone. Just after hanging up Zhao Di's call, Yang Yang's call came in again. Yang Yang said, "Are you up?" "Get up." Qiu Fei said. Yang Yang asked: "Did I drink too much yesterday?" Qiu Fei said: "Not much, you didn't urinate downstairs." Before drinking too much, Qiu Fei and Yang Yang often stood on the roof or on the bridge to urinate. Yang Yang said: "Not too much is fine, I'm afraid I'd drink too much and I won't keep my mouth shut, so I didn't say anything to you, did I?" Qiu Fei smiled and said, "You told me that you saw Zhou Zhou, and you didn't say anything else." "Fuck, there are still too many!" Yang Yang said, "Anyway, you already know, if you need my help, just talk." Two days later, Qiu Fei received two tickets from Zhao Di.I don't understand why Zhao Di didn't come to see it with his girlfriend. The competition venue is very close to Qiu Fei's dormitory, just a few steps down the stairs.Looking at the two tickets in his hand, Qiu Fei thought, it would be great if Zhou Zhou was here. When watching Beijing Guoan games before, Qiu Fei put on a loudspeaker, wore a team logo around his head, and went there wearing slippers.I heard that he was not allowed to enter the Olympic games if he was disheveled, so Qiu Fei changed into a new shirt with a collar, which Zhou Zhou bought for him back then.I looked in the mirror and felt that I could not embarrass the Chinese, so I went out. It’s summer vacation now, and all the students who have nothing to do have gone home. The campus is full of Olympic volunteers. Every few steps, someone will tell you how to get to the gymnasium, with a welcome smile from Beijing. The location of the competition venue is the original grove of the school. For the Olympic Games, the school had to sacrifice the interests of the students by cutting down trees and pulling grass.It turns out that every night here, the sky is dark, the wild is vast, and there are hooligans in the wind and grass. After arriving at the venue, Qiu Fei found his own seat and sat down. It was too far away from the court, and he couldn't see the badminton. He could only see two people swinging the racket through the air through a net.Whenever the Chinese team wins, there will be applause at the scene, and when the Chinese team loses, the whole room will sigh.Unable to see the scene clearly, Qiu Fei watched the big screen, which was the same as the TV broadcast.Qiu Fei deepened his understanding of watching the Olympics, that is, he went to the Olympics to watch TV. During the interval between each game, the big screen will broadcast the highlights of the previous game, and occasionally a few reaction shots of the audience will be inserted.Chinese people are becoming more and more beautiful and photogenic, Qiu Fei thought while looking at the big screen. Suddenly, he was stunned looking at the big screen, why does this person look like Zhou Zhou so much?Look again, no, it’s not like, it’s just. After not seeing each other for many years, Qiu Fei still recognized Zhou Zhou at a glance, because he was still thinking about Zhou Zhou when he was watching the game. After Yang Yang slipped his words, Qiu Fei came up with this idea.At this time, Zhou Zhou on the big screen is no longer the girl from back then, but a mature woman. Qiu Fei feels that Zhou Zhou has grown up. one World, One Dream.Qiu Fei saw his dream. Qiu Fei knew that an audience shot usually only lasted three or four seconds, so he couldn't afford to think too much. He quickly captured Zhou Zhou's background information in the shot, and then searched for Zhou Zhou's location. When the camera switched to the next scene, Qiu Fei basically knew which stand Zhou Zhou was sitting in. Qiu Fei didn't have the patience to watch the rest of the game, so he got up and went to Zhou Zhou's stands. When approaching Zhou Zhou's stand, Qiu Fei stopped and searched for Zhou Zhou's precise location, fearing that if he got closer, he would startle the snake. When seeing Zhou Zhou, Qiu Fei's heart sank. There was a man sitting next to her, and they were still talking. There was still an empty seat not far from Zhou Zhou's back row, so Qiu Fei quietly sat there. In the past, Qiu Fei always sat beside Zhou Zhou, but now, he could only sit behind Zhou Zhou and watch her silently. Looking at Zhou Zhou's back, Qiu Fei remembered a lot... At that time, this figure would always appear in the study room before Qiu Fei every night, and take a thermos pot of boiling water to occupy the seat for self-study.Qiu Fei always comes here when the door of the self-study room is about to close after playing enough in the dormitory. Whenever he sees this figure through the door of the classroom, Qiu Fei always has a sense of belonging. No matter how unsatisfactory the reality is, as long as this figure appears , Qiu Fei will forget those troubles.After sitting down in the study room, a glass of cool water was placed in front of Qiu Fei, and he drank it as soon as he could.After the two broke up, when Qiu Fei was drinking water, no matter what kind of water he drank, he always felt that it didn't quite quench his thirst. At this time, Zhou Zhou and the man beside her didn't know what they were talking about, and every time the man started the conversation, Zhou Zhou responded with a few words. Qiu Fei thought, it would be great if that man turned his face around, took a photo for you, sent it to Yang Yang, and asked if it was the man who had dinner with Zhou Zhou that day, if so, the relationship between him and Zhou Zhou was self-evident .Thinking of this, Qiu Fei took out his cell phone. At this time, the man's cell phone rang. After answering the call, he said a few words to Zhou Zhou and left in a hurry. Qiu Fei didn't sit down immediately, he wasn't sure if the man really left, or went to the toilet or bought water.What's more, when he tried to sit down, he found that his legs couldn't move. Taking this step requires reason and more courage.This step can bring both hope and utter despair. The reason is simple, that is, Qiu Fei still has Zhou Zhou in his heart.As for courage, Qiu Fei didn't know where it came from.From this point of view, Qiu Fei has also grown up.In the past, he liked someone, regardless of the consequences, and said it right away. Qiu Fei just sat there and watched Zhou Zhou quietly until the end of the game. Zhou Zhou exited, and Qiu Fei followed Zhou Zhou.Zhou Zhou went to the bathroom, and Qiu Fei waited for her among the crowd not far away, who were buying souvenirs.He remembered the scene when he was waiting for Zhou Zhou to go to the bathroom, when he helped her carry her bag, now he wanted to do it again. Zhou Zhou came out of the bathroom, and Qiu Fei quietly followed behind. After leaving the gymnasium, it was already dark, Zhou Zhou did not go home directly, but strolled around the school. Zhou Zhou walked past the auditorium of the school. At that time, she and Qiu Fei often sat on the steps here to count the stars and find their own constellations. They sat there all night, and they didn't even know that they were bitten by mosquitoes. Zhou Zhou walked past the bank teller machine in the school again. At that time, she and Qiu Fei had a monthly subsidy of 60 yuan, and they took out the money as soon as the day came. He bought her a card issuer and she bought him a pair of sneakers. , although things are not expensive, money is never enough to spend. Zhou Zhou walked past the library again. At that time, Qiu Fei wanted to steal the books in the reading room, so he asked Zhou Zhou to help him downstairs. He threw the books out through the window. Borrow it, and return it honestly. Zhou Zhou walked past the girls' dormitory again, where Qiu Fei often sat waiting for her at that time, and now Qiu Fei still remembers the scene when he waited for her for the first time.They were all young then. Zhou Zhou walked through the water room again, which is where Qiu Fei and Zhou Zhou met.If Qiu Fei hadn't played football that day and Zhou Zhou hadn't come to fetch water, everything that happened later would not have happened. Ten years later, the fate of the two would have been different from what it is today. Finally, Zhou Zhou walked to the teaching building and went up to the roof of the building, with Qiu Fei following behind.Walking to the entrance of the rooftop, Qiu Fei found that there was no one on the rooftop, and he clearly saw Zhou Zhou going out from here just now. Could it be that Zhou Zhou couldn't think of jumping down? Although it was unreasonable to think so, Qiu Fei couldn't help but ran to the rooftop and looked down at the side of the building as soon as the thought came out. Except for a couple hiding Kissing in the corner at the back of the building, nothing.Qiu Fei turned his head and found Zhou Zhou standing behind him. Zhou Zhou hid behind the door just now. The two looked at each other, but neither spoke. Even though it was night, Qiu Fei could still see Zhou Zhou's eyes clearly, they were still so bright. They haven't seen each other for three years, and none of them thought that the meeting between the two would be here.Although the two are close at hand, they feel very far away. Zhou Zhou is no longer the girl with long hair hanging down her shoulders and fluttering white clothes. She wears brand-name clothes, expensive shoes, and her hair is also permed in curly curls. Qiu Fei looked at the familiar stranger in front of him, his eyes were moist, and he couldn't tell whether it was excitement, joy, or emotion. "You know I'm following you?" Qiu Fei asked. "I saw you when I came out of the bathroom." Zhou Zhou said. Qiu Fei said: "I thought I did it quite covertly." Zhou Zhou said, "Your clothes expose you." Qiu Fei was wearing the clothes that Zhou Zhou bought for him many years ago. At that time, the clothes were too formal, so Qiu Fei didn't wear them all the time. Today, he wore them for the first time to watch the Olympics. Qiu Fei said, "I didn't expect your eyes to be so sharp." Zhou Zhou said, "After all, it's something I'm familiar with." At this time, although Qiu Fei was wearing Zhou Zhou's familiar clothes, the two were not so familiar with each other. Qiu Fei said: "I saw you on the big screen at the scene." Zhou Zhou said: "The photographer is so annoying!" Obviously, Zhou Zhou didn't want Qiu Fei to meet her, but Qiu Fei didn't understand why since Zhou Zhou knew that he was following, he still wanted to wander around the campus and come here. Qiu Fei said: "Yang Yang said that he met you one day." Zhou Zhou said, "Then you already know, and I don't need to say anything more." Qiu Fei said, "Can I ask you a question?" Zhou Zhou said, "What if I say I can't?" Qiu Fei said: "Then I also want to ask." What he has decided will continue to be done. Zhou Zhou smiled and said, "You're still the same, just ask." Qiu Fei felt like a child in front of Zhou Zhou, so he asked, "Who was that person watching the game with you just now?" Zhou Zhou smiled again, which puzzled Qiu Fei.Qiu Fei asked this because he wanted to know if that man was Zhou Zhou's current boyfriend, and Zhou Zhou's smile just now seemed to confirm what Qiu Fei suspected. Qiu Fei still wanted to get more accurate information, so he asked again: "Is he the one who had dinner with you when Yang Yang met you?" If so, the relationship between Zhou Zhou and this man is obvious.Having dinner together and watching the Olympics together again is obviously not an ordinary friendship, maybe what else will we do together. Zhou Zhou still smiled and said, "I'm not alone?" Qiu Fei thought, this news is even worse for him, Zhou Zhou's boyfriend must have been changed too quickly.But he immediately advised himself not to think about it, Zhou Zhou was not that kind of person, and judging from the conversation between Zhou Zhou and the man just now, the relationship between the two was not close. Qiu Fei tested Zhou Zhou and said, "If you ask me, you two are just ordinary friends, right?" Zhou Zhou said, "I don't have to answer you." Qiu Fei smiled and said, "It seems I'm right." Zhou Zhou said lightly, "Don't be too confident." This is Zhou Zhou's phone rang. Zhou Zhou took out his cell phone and checked if he didn't answer it. Qiu Fei said: "If you think I'm in the way, I'll just stay aside and come back after you finish beating me." Zhou Zhou didn't say anything, and connected the phone, "Hey... finished reading... it's nothing... you're welcome... nothing to do, strolling around the school... um, ok... goodbye!" and hung up the phone. After listening to Zhou Zhou's call, Qiu Fei was completely at ease.If that man had a close relationship with Zhou Zhou, Zhou Zhou would not be so polite to him. Qiu Fei felt that there was an opportunity, and said: "That person just now, did he say that he was in a hurry when he left, maybe he went there for something, you have to be careful, don't be deceived by him." Zhou Zhou said: "Why are you still so annoying? He didn't provoke you or provoke you." Qiu Fei said: "He recruited me, I feel uncomfortable when he sits with you." Zhou Zhou said: "I have nothing to do with you now." He said it very frankly. Qiu Fei said: "It's gone now, but it doesn't mean there won't be any in the future. At least I still have ideas." Zhou Zhou said: "To tell you the truth, that person was introduced to me by someone just now. When Yang Yang met me last time, I was also on a blind date. I plan to get married." Hearing this news, Qiu Fei was stunned.
