Boring

1.

Qu Chao felt bored, extremely bored.

Especially when he was finally able to embrace death, but when he opened his eyes to the dusty window lattice, there was a subtle emotion that floated up and took a sharp turn.

He twisted his head, and saw Li Jingming standing at the door, wearing a familiar three-piece suit, strict double Windsor knot, and a priceless mechanical watch clasped on his left wrist.

Gee.

A syllable representing disdain popped out from the tip of his tongue, and Qu Chao heard the voice in his heart——

Not interesting.

2.

His previous life was a noisy tragedy, and when he thought about it, he was so noisy.

Li Jingming likes Guo Huaqing, and when Qu Chao is not talking, he is especially like Guo Huaqing, at least [-]% similar.

Qu Chao's family was not well off, his father was a seller of finger cakes, and when he was out of the stall, he was hit by an oil tanker and turned into a piece of cake.His mother took the compensation and remarried.

Qu Chao, relying on a little support from his mother, struggled through college, and just after signing a labor contract and entering the workplace, he was taken home by his boss.

Li Jingming asked him to make a statue, and gave him ten thousand yuan a month as a viewing fee. Qu Chao thought why not do it.

Really poor.

Enjoy the soft silk quilt, and never want to go back to sleep on the iron frame bed covered with linen.

3.

It's just that the ending was tragic.

Qu Chao stared at Li Jingming and thought.

No, it was too tragic.

In his previous life, Qu Chao had no self-knowledge, thinking that Li Jingming's affectionate eyes were looking at him.

but not.

That belongs to Guo Huaqing and has nothing to do with you, Qu Chao.

People are most afraid of self-impression.

Qu Chao took a full ten.

It's a little pathetic.

He was already lacking in love, and now he has become a model of stalking, which does not conform to Li Jingming's aesthetics.

Not decent enough either.

4.

Qu Chao doesn't like to talk, he is handsome, but he always makes people think he is dumb.

Li Jingming bought it back with money, and he doesn't talk much anymore.

After all, the difference between his voice and Guo Huaqing's is not 01:30.

Guo Huaqing's voice is clear, he is a gentleman.

Qu Chao's voice is deep, magnetic, and more modern.

In his previous life, he wanted to get closer to Guo Huaqing, he worked hard to learn his words and deeds, and wanted to please Li Jingming.

But a sparrow is a sparrow and cannot become a phoenix.

Qu Chao is a wage earner who came out of Tongzilou, not a handsome young man in a mansion like Guo Huaqing.

It's a world of difference.

Fair and slender fingers, with a smear of powder on the nails, tapped on the window sill, Qu Zhao thought, it's time for a change.

It's time to change, people can't indulge in false beauty.

Mistakenly thinking that Li Jingming likes him, mistakenly thinking that he has the potential to be a heartthrob.

The price of waking up is a bit high, and Qu Chao died once before comprehending such a simple truth.

5.

"Guo Huaqing is back." Li Jingming said with a flat voice and a flat expression.

Qu Chao raised his eyelids and said, "When?"

Li Jingming was a little surprised. Usually, Qu Chao would use his eyes instead of words, creating an illusion for him that he didn't want to break: "Next Friday."

Qu Chao calculated in his heart, there are still seven days.

Seven days, let him think about what to do in the future.

He graduated from a bachelor's degree at the age of 22, and now—he glanced at the screen of his mobile phone, he is 26 years old, and he has been raised by Li Jingming for four years.

It is not easy to write a resume during the four-year blank period. He can't write [being adopted], that's not closing the door to find a job with his own hands.

He said, "Is there any severance pay?"

Li Jingming was stunned for a moment, and said, "80 for you."

Qu Chao raised a smile on his lips, mockingly: "Four years, an average of 20 a year, deducting five social insurances and one housing fund, 14 is not enough."①

Li Jingming didn't expect him to be so meticulous, he was not short of money, few people dared to bargain with him, Qu Chao was the first one.

He thought about it, the other party was well-behaved and did not cause trouble, which made him feel relieved, so he couldn't help adding some money: "100 million."

Qu Chao nodded: "OK."

①The five insurances and one housing fund are deducted according to the monthly salary, the annual salary is 20, the monthly salary is 14, and the after-tax [-] is multiplied by twelve months, a total of about [-].

6.

100 million is enough for him to set up a small storefront to do some capital-guaranteed business.

In his previous life, he was raised in a house, had never seen the world, and didn't know the vicissitudes of life, so he couldn't bring any convenience to his current plan to make a living.

A little worried.

Qu Chao rubbed his temples and crossed out No. 4 ideas on the A16 paper.

He is a stable person, he doesn't have big ambitions, just enough food and clothing.

Poverty has worn away too many edges and corners of him, and four years in the greenhouse has turned him into a lazy cat.

Quchao majored in journalism at university and knows video editing and photo editing. He plans to open a post-production studio or do self-media.

Then he crossed out the idea of ​​self-media. He felt that he was not interesting enough to create good content.

You can't shoot Li Jingming's mansion to satisfy the public's fantasies about the president, right?

It's not impossible, it's just that he's leaving soon, the idea is not realistic enough.

Besides, he doesn't plan to be his own boss. He wants to take a stake in a post-production studio and find a job for himself by the way.

Bring money into the group.

Yes, that's the word.

7.

Li Jingming felt that the Qu Dynasty in the past two days was particularly... how should I put it, something was not quite right.

Qu Chao is a stable person who doesn't like to talk or move. Sitting by the window, looking at the clouds outside the window, he can watch the whole day without moving.

Li Jingming always felt that Qu Chao was autistic, but he didn't care, as long as Qu Chao looked like Guo Huaqing, it was enough.

The current Qu Chao is more like a person, a three-dimensional, thoughtful person who is about to break free from the cage.

It made him uncomfortable.

He felt that things were getting out of control, and Qu Chao was getting out of control.

Qu Chao no longer deliberately imitated Guo Huaqing, and his own shadow emerged from his face that resembled Guo Huaqing.

Guo Huaqing is left-handed, while Qu Chao eats with his right hand.

Guo Huaqing likes to watch English movies, and Qu Chao likes to listen to cross talk.

Guo Huaqing likes to smile gently, like a real ancient gentleman, but Qu Chao likes to stare at people expressionlessly, with a little bit of boredom spreading from the corners of his eyes.

like an old cat.

Li Jingming thought, a wayward old cat.

8.

Qu Chao bought a one-bedroom second-hand house on the edge of the city, planning to move out by himself after Guo Huaqing came back, and then go through the transfer procedures.

It will take a month for the real estate certificate to come down.

The former owner cleaned the house very enthusiastically and handed over the keys to him after receiving the deposit.

He still has to find a company to be affiliated with to make up for his five social insurances and one housing fund for the past four years.

Everything was ready, and Qu Chao saw the round spots of dawn in the dark corridor.

He was lying on the window sill.There are clusters of flowers in the garden, red, yellow and purple, and there is a magnolia tree with goose yellow magnolia flowers hanging on the branches, like a flock of golden pigeons, very beautiful.

Qu Chao pursed the corners of his lips, without any negative emotions, just joy, anticipation for the future, and a soft smile lingering in his dark eyes, like a young man in spring.

Li Jingming stood under the tree outside the garden, looked up at him, and felt his canary standing at the cage door, fluttering its wings.

9.

In the past four years, Li Jingming has never been short of his pocket money, [-] a month, which is sent to the card regularly.

Qu Chao logged into his account on the mobile bank, and glanced at the balance, 220 million, of course it can't be calculated according to four years, but it is enough.

The severance pay is 100 million, a total of 320 million, the house is 120 million, and the remaining 200 million is for him to invest and pay five insurances and one housing fund.

Qu Chao did the math on the paper, and felt that he should live to be 30 this time, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

He died at the age of 29 in his previous life, and he will be thirty in a month.

Kind of a pity.

It starts with love and ends with anger.

It's really not worthwhile to fight to lose your life in one breath.

How about Li Jingming and Guo Huaqing, he didn't want to define.

His character is like this, the matter is over, it is over, and it is meaningless to pursue it.

The world is troubled, he just wants to be well-off.

Be an excellent socialist successor.

It may not be socialism, nor succession, but if it is an individual.

10.

Li Jingming didn't know what happened to him.

He is quite good at employing people and knows how to delegate power, so although he is the president, he is not that busy.At least he had time to think about Guo Huaqing and Qu Chao.

The point is the name of the person behind, the former him would not think about Qu Chao.

This should be the reason for Qu Chao.

Li Jingming silently put the pot on Qu Chao's head.

Qu Chao was easy to understand before, but now it is difficult to understand.

Also more charming.

Li Jingming didn't want to distinguish whether it was the desire to control that was making trouble, or the bad nature of liking the new and disliking the old.

He was overly obsessed with Guo Huaqing's modest and gentlemanly style, gentle and moist as jade, not falling out of the mundane world.

Similar to worship, like man to god, believer to religion.

He was crazy about the reflection in his heart.

Unhealthy, but sweet.

There is something wrong with him now, he saw something very important from Qu Chao, smart and real.

fear.

He felt fear, an eerie chill that climbed from his tailbone to the back of his head.

Qu Chao's change reminds him how ridiculous his crush has been all these years.

He couldn't figure out whether his feelings were for Guo Huaqing or the reflection of his love.

He imagined a perfect Guo Huaqing.

But Guo Huaqing, who has been abroad for seven years, may be far from what he imagined.

And the reflection in his mind tilted towards Qu Chao's image infinitely.

He almost couldn't remember the difference in appearance between Guo Huaqing and Qu Chao.

Maybe when he goes to the airport, he won't recognize Guo Huaqing at all.

He only remembered Qu Chao, and the illusory reflection in his mind.
