double crush accident

Chapter 18 ch.18

Shen Jiaming went to Singapore for a business trip the next day after taking leave, and Lin Qiu also continued his busy job interview journey.

He felt good about the second side of the foreign company's risk control position. The other party asked him to go back and wait for the notice. On Wednesday afternoon, HR called. The other party carefully communicated with him about the entry, and the salary was also paid to Lin Qiu. Very satisfied with the number, agreed to go to work next Monday, and then received a formal admission email.

The long and worrying unemployed period is finally over, life seems to be getting better, and I see a ray of light, I hope the future will be bright.

Lin Qiu excitedly jumped onto the bed, buried his face in the pillow and screamed loudly, excitedly wanting to share this good news with the whole world, and Shen Jiaming was the first to bear the brunt of it.

But the other party did not say that he was abroad, and the atmosphere became a little strange after the two attended the premiere.

Between the two of them, Shen Jiaming had always been the active one, and Lin Qiu was like the old toy frog from when he was a child, he only moved forward when he poked his buttocks.

If Shen Jiaming didn't take the initiative to talk, even if Lin Qiu sensed the awkward atmosphere, he wouldn't have nothing to say.

So this kind of good news can only be shared with Wu Rang, but just after dialing the phone, I realized that I had never mentioned my unemployment to my younger brother, so I suppressed my excitement and hesitated to open another topic. Wu Rang helped him pay attention to the renting of houses near the school.

Wu Rang naturally readily agreed, and also promised to mobilize all the brothers in the dormitory to help his brother solve the problem.

Lin Qiule said thank you, but he didn't realize that if he really lived near Wu Rang's school, it would take at least an hour and a half one way every day to get to the foreign company where he wanted to work.

When I was sitting back at the computer and seriously replying to the other party's offer, I suddenly thought of this question. I slapped my head and realized that the foreign company was too close to Shen Jiaming's house.

While feeling annoyed, she suddenly received a call from Cheng Xu.

It turned out that the other party knew from Wu Rang that Lin Qiu was looking for a house, and asked Lin Qiu if he would like to live in his cousin's currently vacant three-bedroom apartment.

Cheng Xu had mentioned it before when he went to pick up the plane, so Lin Qiu quickly remembered it.

If you go to work from the vicinity, you can walk and take the subway, which is estimated to be about 10 minutes, which is indeed a lot easier.

But in the neighborhood near Shen Jiaming’s home, Lin Qiu learned about the rent level in the last few days of the holiday—a five-figure monthly rent, and he couldn’t afford to pay all his monthly salary.

When browsing the web, he thought he was delusional several times, and clicked on the second-hand housing sales page by mistake. In the end, he found that the monthly rent was indeed tens of thousands, and two-bedroom houses generally cost more than 1. Twenty thousand, Lin Qiu gasped, not daring to read any more.

He is not at all curious about the price of Shen Jiaming's house, let alone tell him, otherwise he may have to pack up and leave in the next second. It is really disturbing to disturb the other party for so long.

The land in the central area of ​​the east of the city in Nanbei City is worth every inch of land, and it is true.

He tactfully thanked the other party for his kindness, but the voice of Cheng Xu who was rejected on the phone was still so gentle.

"Is it because of the rent problem? If so, don't worry, the house is empty and no one lives in it. I have to go to help him look after the house from time to time, so if you are willing to live there, you are actually doing me a favor." gone."

"Cheng Xu, I know you really want to help me, but you know that if your cousin's house is rented out, the monthly rent alone will be tens of thousands."

Cheng Xu continued, "He doesn't care. He is in the United States and can't worry about so many things, so he asked me to go back and look at it from time to time. Besides, I really want to help you, but friends help each other. Is there any problem? "

"But……"

"Or you don't regard me as a friend?" Cheng Xu said sullenly, "Aren't we friends?"

"We, of course we are friends."

"So, just take it as me asking you to take care of the house for my cousin, can't you?"

Lin Qiu understands that no matter what the other party says, he wants to help him, but if he always asks his younger brother's classmates to help him, Lin Qiu will almost look down on him.

"Cheng Xu, I understand what you mean, thank you very much, but..."

"Lin Qiu, I don't know what you are hesitating about. Isn't this something that both parties benefit from?" Lin Qiu repeatedly declined, and the voice on the other side of the phone became slightly angry, "You can accept the help of your friend , why can't you accept my help?"

Does that friend mean Shen Jiaming?

Lin Qiu froze for a moment. When Shen Jiaming asked him to move here, he didn't seem to hesitate.

Although I always feel that I have caused a lot of trouble for the other party, I am grateful and sorry in my heart.

But when there is trouble, the only strong and reliable lifeline that can be grabbed in front of him is always thrown to him by Shen Jiaming.

And then being helped again, making trouble again.

But this time is different, Shen Jiaming has Bai Li by his side, no matter whether Bai Li can successfully catch up with Shen Jiaming or not, he has to be sensible, put away his heart with self-knowledge, and clean up his troublesome mess, he has to do it first out of change.

"Okay, thank you for your proposal, I decided to rent your cousin's house, but the rent..."

"I'll set the rent. You only need one room, so you can't use someone else's rent for the whole set to calculate it. Besides, I'm asking you to help me look after the house, so of course I have to give you a friendly price." Cheng Xu is in a good mood, isn't it? Little: "Are you free this Saturday afternoon? I'll help you look at the house first, and if you're satisfied, I'll tell you how much the rent is."

"No problem, thank you, Cheng Xu."

The three-bedroom apartment was purchased for only two years, and it was vacant for more than a year. The furniture was almost brand new. Cheng Xu found someone to clean it in the morning.

Lin Qiu fell in love with it immediately, and turned around to ask Cheng Xu how much the rent was.

The other party quoted an extremely low price, Lin Qiu smiled wryly and shook his head, "How do you not understand the renting level in Nanbei? The single room I rented before was more expensive than yours, and the location is far worse than here."

"The purpose of renting this house is not to make money. It doesn't matter how much the rent is."

Cheng Xu's bright eyes looked straight at Lin Qiu, "If you object, I'll give you another [-]% off, do you want to rent it?"

"Don't, don't, don't! Don't give a discount, can't I rent it?"

I have only heard of strong buying and strong selling, but have you heard that there are still people who threaten people with low prices?

Lin Qiu laughed, "Then I have to treat you tonight, do you want to eat?!"

The two found a Sichuan restaurant nearby, and Lin Qiu asked Cheng Xu to order by himself, and he didn't hesitate to order whatever he wanted. Cheng Xu looked at Lin Qiu's cheeks flushed with joy, and couldn't help but push the menu back to him.

"It's better for you to come, what do you want to eat, I will eat with you."

Lin Qiu didn't care, "Anyway, we all like spicy food, so I'll order whatever I want."

The dishes came to the table quickly, four dishes and one soup, or tomato and egg drop soup, it was really red.

After eating two mouthfuls of rice, Cheng Xu raised his head and asked Lin Qiu, "When will you move, I'll help you."

"No need, I don't have a lot of luggage, just tidy it up, I'll do it twice by myself."

"Then I'll be with you, won't it be done once?" Cheng Xu continued without waiting for Lin Qiu to speak. "Also, I didn't have time to take you to the property today. I just took you there when you moved. New residents need to register."

"Then..." Lin Qiu calculated the time, "Then tomorrow afternoon, are you free?"

In fact, he doesn't need to be in such a hurry to move out of Shen Jiaming's house, but considering that Cheng Xu usually has to go to class, weekends are the best time for him to come, but next week he will join a new company, who knows if he will work overtime on weekends, so tomorrow is the most suitable.

Moreover, Shen Jiaming came back from Singapore today, so it's better for him to leave early.

"Our basketball team will have training at noon tomorrow, and I will try to finish it early." Speaking of this, Cheng Xu looked straight at Lin Qiu, "You promised me to watch the game before, did you forget?"

"Of course not, when exactly?"

"It was supposed to be the weekend of this week, but something went wrong, and it was changed to the weekend of next week, at three o'clock in the afternoon on Sunday."

"As long as I don't work overtime, I will definitely go." Lin Qiu nodded and agreed, but the other party actually stretched out his little finger, "What is this for? Do you still want to pull the hook?"

"Well, I'm afraid you won't come."

The other party showed a disappointed expression, like a frustrated and wronged big golden retriever, Lin Qiu couldn't laugh or cry.

"Cheng Xu, don't you know how attractive you are? Even if I really can't go, there must be a lot of classmates cheering for you, I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it then."

"I don't care about them."

Lin Qiu subconsciously wanted to say, so do you care about me?There was a sudden pause, even if it was a joke, it shouldn't be answered at this time, but fortunately he didn't say it, "I will go."

After the meal, Cheng Xu insisted on walking with him for a while back, Lin Qiu asked, "You are too full, you have to walk to digest your food, right?"

The taste of that Sichuan restaurant was indeed very good. Lin Qiu didn't have the habit of eating out, so he hadn't noticed it, but he could recommend it to Shen Jiaming. After he moved out, the other party had to eat out for all three meals.

After thinking about it, he actually met him at the gate of the community. He just got out of an unfamiliar car, dragged a heavy suitcase, and looked at him and Cheng Xu coldly.

Lin Qiu waved at him awkwardly, "You're back."

Shen Jiaming didn't speak, and didn't pause too much, and went straight into the community.

Looking at the back of the other party, Lin Qiu felt mixed emotions and couldn't speak. Shen Jiaming seemed to be in a bad mood, but he didn't go to pick up the plane anymore. Why isn't he happy?

Or are you too tired from a business trip?Sure enough, high salaries are not earned by everyone.

"Lin Qiu? Lin Qiu."

Lin Qiu stared in a daze at the retreating figure. Cheng Xu didn't respond to calling him a few times. He couldn't help standing in front of him, blocking his line of sight, and then he came back to his senses suddenly.

"what?"

"I'll take you here, I'm going back to school."

"Well, thanks, see you tomorrow."

On the way back, Lin Qiu had the same dazed look.

This week I found a job again, and I worked hard to get the house done. I can move out of here tomorrow, leave Shen Jiaming to start a new life, and achieve my short-term goals. All of this is fast and smooth.

But in his heart, he couldn't find any excitement and joy at all. At the moment when he saw Shen Jiaming, all the false happiness disappeared.

When all the secret and strong thoughts showed their original shape, that person was standing on the street, the evening wind in late October and autumn lifted the hem of his windbreaker, and he looked at himself with indifferent and alienated eyes.

It's like setting the scene for every goodbye in the future, it will be like this.

That person would no longer stand beside him, shoulder to shoulder with him.

Loneliness pinched his neck, sadness blinded his eyes, Lin Qiu didn't have the guts to go back to see Shen Jiaming.

After a long time, the voice-activated light outside the door had been turned off more than once, and the door suddenly opened, and the long trench coat stood in front of Lin Qiu, looking at him, "Why didn't you come in after you got home? I was ready to go out to find you .”

Lin Qiu stood just outside the door, his voice trembling, and his person trembling, he tried his best to spread a smile and looked at Shen Jiaming.

"I, I found a job, and then I found a new house, and I can move out tomorrow."

"Didn't I say, don't worry?"

"But I can't live in your house forever."

"why not?"

"I live here, it will affect your life, I said it, just like Wang Chuang was going to hold a party..."

"I said it too, it doesn't matter."

"It didn't matter that time, but there will be. There will always be. If it's not Wang Chuang, there will be someone else." Lin Qiu couldn't suppress his emotions gradually.

"Instead of waiting for that day when you drive me away, I might as well move out first with self-knowledge, so that I won't bother you all the time."

"Do you think you've troubled me a little?" Shen Jiaming looked at Lin Qiu, his eyes were slightly red, he suddenly pulled the man into the door, put his hands on the door, and imprisoned Lin Qiu in it, "For so many years, Don't you give me too much trouble?!"

"I know too much, so much that I can't understand it in my life, so I can't continue to trouble you! Jia Ming, so I have to leave."

"Heh." Shen Jiaming smiled, "Lin Qiu, once, you took the initiative to find me, didn't you come to help me solve the problem?"

"I……"

No.

Indeed not.

Because he dare not.

He didn't dare to disturb Shen Jiaming recklessly, he didn't dare to go to him just because he missed him very much, and he didn't dare to appear cheeky when the other party didn't think of him at all.

So he could only wait until Shen Jiaming remembered him and took the initiative to find him.

He was a coward, and he didn't even dare to tell Shen Jiaming the reason.

"Forget it, you go, I don't care who you want to live with, it's none of my business."

Shen Jiaming took two steps back feebly. This was Lin Qiu, the Lin Qiu he couldn't get. His anger could only be like punching cotton, without any response.

"In the future, your business is none of my business."

Shen Jiaming walked back to the room and closed the door with a bang. Lin Qiu heaved a sigh of relief and sat limply on the ground with his hands tightly pressed against his chest.

He wasn't sad at all, he didn't feel distressed at all, and he didn't have the urge to cry at all.

Oops.

People really can't lie to themselves.

Lin Qiu packed his luggage all night, and barely slept for four or five hours during the day the next day. After waking up, Shen Jiaming had already gone out, which avoided the embarrassment of the two getting along.

What Shen Jiaming said last night almost meant to sever the friendship, but Lin Qiu still wanted to at least thank the other party in person, so now he had to leave a short thank you letter for the other party, and pressed Shen Jiaming's usual glass on the dining table, So he can find out.

When Cheng Xu picked him up, he found that his eyes were red and swollen with dark circles, and asked him what was the matter, Lin Qiu pretended to be fine, but couldn't even hold a smile on his lips, "It's a bit tiring to pack my luggage, it's a lot more than I thought. "

Seeing his listless appearance, Cheng Xu didn't ask any further questions, and accompanied him to the property to go through the formalities, sent him home and went back to school by himself.

It's already past eight o'clock in the evening to get everything in order in the new house. I don't know if Shen Jiaming has gone back or read his letter, but just thinking of the other party, he immediately shook his head and told himself not to think about it anymore, a new life has to start.

I used to suffer from insomnia when encountering major events, but the night before joining a new company, I slept very well due to extreme fatigue, which was a blessing in disguise.

In the first week of the new job, Lin Qiu had a hard time getting used to it. Thanks to his colleagues in the department who helped him a lot, the girl sitting next door who joined the job half a year earlier than him was outgoing and cheerful. What should he do.

When people are busy, they have no time to think about things. Lin Qiu only once, when he saw a familiar sports car passing by when he got out of the subway station, he thought for two seconds, wondering what Shen Jiaming was doing now.

At noon on Friday, Lin Qiu took advantage of the lunch break after dinner and went downstairs to the coffee shop to get a few cups of coffee. He only noticed that there was a coffee shop downstairs in the office building. Only now did he realize that it was the one where he wanted to work part-time last time. A branch of a chain coffee shop.

But at this moment, he broke in again, but he couldn't see the familiar figure from behind, so he turned around and asked him why he was here.

In the evening, the department organized a dinner party. In order to welcome Lin Qiu to join, I chose a Korean barbecue restaurant with a lively atmosphere. Since it is to eat barbecue, drinking is inevitable. In front of friends, you can still refuse directly with too much alcohol, but in front of colleagues. Can get a stronger booing sound.

As the protagonist of the welcome party, Lin Qiu was drunk in less than 10 minutes. The original shochu only had the astringent taste of alcohol in his mouth. Lin Qiu had a bitter face, glass after glass, and didn't eat a few mouthfuls of meat. Sleep soundly.

After everyone complained casually about his ridiculously poor drinking capacity, the dinner party continued as usual. Two hours later, Lin Qiu still hadn't woken up, and his colleagues rushed home, so they had to take out their mobile phones to call his friends.

But whom?

In the end, I randomly chose a person who had been calling a lot recently, and it took a long time for the person to pick up. He told the situation here, and said he would be here soon.

The female colleagues were afraid that it would be dangerous to go home late, the manager was anxious to go home to spend the weekend with their children, and the married man couldn't stand the series of phone calls at home, so he left the only single man in the department to accompany Lin Qiu.

A group of people left the store and saw a cool sports car suddenly stopped by the side of the road, "Wow, that car has at least this number, and this car is limited in China, if you can't buy it, you can only order it from abroad."

A male colleague who usually has a lot of research on cars compared an exaggerated number. The girls were not so enthusiastic about cars, but habitually echoed, "Wow, it's so expensive?"

Then when he saw the person getting off from the car, his voice suddenly rose, "Oh my God, that person is too handsome! Look at it, look at it!"

"Wow, really, the authentic Gao Fushuai! I finally saw you today!"

The group of people were not in a hurry to hurry, they stood on the side of the road and felt the wind, and they wanted to know where the man was going.

Then they watched the man running anxiously towards the barbecue shop they had just come out of.

"No way? He's not here to pick up Lin Qiu, is he?"

"How is it possible, he and Lin Qiu seem to be from different worlds at all."

But it's the contrast that's worth the gossip!

Everyone looked at each other tacitly, after the meeting on Monday morning, Lin Qiu had to be interrogated!

In a daze, Lin Qiu felt that someone was half-placing him on his shoulders and leading him forward. The other party was very strong. With support, he followed the other party's footsteps and walked smoothly.

Then he lost consciousness again, continued to sleep in a trance, was awakened by the barking of the dog, and reacted dullly for a long time. It seemed to be the howling sound of the talkative husky downstairs in the new house, so he went home ?

Someone sent him home, and the only one who could know the location of his new home was Cheng Xu.

"Cheng Xu...is that you?"

The other party didn't know what he said, Lin Qiu didn't hear clearly at all, and he didn't have the energy to continue asking, anyway, he didn't want to care about anything when he went home, he just wanted to sleep well.

Splitting headache!

The aftermath of a hangover is horrific!

Lin Qiu got out of bed and wanted to drink water, but when he touched the ground, his legs suddenly became weak, and he almost fell down. After drinking half a glass of warm water, he finally suppressed his headache and at least he could think.

Lin Qiu began to recall the situation last night. He was drunk by his colleagues, and then someone sent him home. That person should be Cheng Xu. He went back to the room and took out his mobile phone. The person he called last time was indeed Cheng Xu.

How could you find him to pick you up?

This is too much trouble for the other party. Lin Qiu added the word "brother" before Wu Rang's name in the communication, so that others should go to Wu Rang directly when they read the address book.

As for Cheng Xu, I'm going to watch his match tomorrow, so let's thank him face to face. Lin Qiu thought about what kind of thank you gift he wanted to give him for bothering him so much last night.

Lin Qiu doesn't know what's popular these days, every time he asks him to give him a gift, he tortures himself. Thinking that Cheng Xu plays basketball, then start with the other person's interest, then giving him a pair of sports wristbands should be a good idea.

After taking a shower and cooking a bowl of simple dried noodles for lunch, Lin Qiu went out and went straight to the specialty store of a big-name sports brand in the shopping mall to buy a pair of pure black wristbands.

Lin Qiu went down the escalator to the first floor, and was suddenly stopped by someone. Wang Chuang and Shen Jiaming came up from the first floor after parking their car, and suddenly met each other.

Lin Qiu just glanced at Shen Jiaming at the moment when he turned around. The other party looked a little listless, but he didn't dare to look too much. He only spoke to Wang Chuang, and the other party glanced at the wristband in his hand.

"What? Did you hurt your wrist?"

"No, it's for giving away."

"Ah, I see. It's for your brother. I remember Jiaming said that your brother is studying in Nanbei University."

"Hmm...about the same." Lin Qiu felt Shen Jiaming look over after he said this, and he wanted to get away as soon as possible, "You take your time, I'll go first."

"Wait!" Wang Chuang pulled Lin Qiu's arm, "I will give birth to Shi Zhong next week. I haven't decided on the location yet. Saturday night, do you want to come?"

Lin Qiu really didn't want to go for other things, but it was Liang Shizhong's birthday, so he didn't want to refuse, "I'll go, and you can send me the address when the time comes."

"Why send it to you? Let Jia Ming pick you up."

"No, it's inconvenient."

"I know you've moved out, but isn't your new home near his house? He knows the way..."

Wang Chuang knew that Lin Qiu didn't have a car, so it would be inconvenient not to let Shen Jiaming pick him up. He persevered in trying to persuade Lin Qiu, but Shen Jiaming suddenly spoke up.

"It's inconvenient to say, didn't you hear?"

"Okay, okay, why are you angry?" Wang Chuang was taken aback. "Why are you two so weird today?"

"I left earlier, goodbye."

Lin Qiu didn't give the other party any more time to keep him, and ran out of the mall quickly.

Shen Jiaming walked quickly to the elevator upstairs.

Only Wang Chuang was left wondering.

"What's the matter with these two people, Lin Qiu didn't rest last night, okay? Such a weird temper?"
