soul mate

Qian Ning and Wu Ye met in Daishan, and it is said that they hit it off right away, and they established a romantic relationship not long after.After returning from Daishan, Qian Ning even packed up his things and moved in with Wu Ye.

Qin Zhen was a little surprised when he heard this: "What about Sun Jing?"

Zhao Qian poured himself a cup of tea: "What else? Why don't you help Qian Ning pack up his things and send him away! It's not like you don't know that Sun Jing, when did he object to the decision made by Qian Ning?" ?”

Although Qin Zhen vaguely guessed the ending in his heart, he still felt a little complicated when he heard Zhao Qian say this.He, Qian Ning, and Sun Jing were classmates in junior high school. He first met Qian Ning, and then naturally met Sun Jing, who was inseparable from Qian Ning.All along, Qin Zhen has a better relationship with Qian Ning, but now, Qin Zhen can't help but feel sorry for Sun Jing in his heart.

Zhao Qian said: "Let me tell you, if Qian Ning can persist for a long time this time, Sun Jing should give up."

Qin Zhen was taken aback: "But the two of them are obviously soul mates..."

After Zhao Qian finished his tea, the cup fell on the tea table and made a crisp sound: "That's right, but there are so many soul mates in this world who can't make it, it doesn't matter if they are more than one pair, doesn't it?"

Qin Zhen bowed his head and remained silent.

"Anyway, that's it, let's not worry about their affairs." Zhao Qian stood up, "Instead of worrying about this, our company has a new art director, male, 30 years old, single, do you want to think about it? There is also a new female teacher from Qingqing's school, she is quite young, only 24, and she is also single, I have seen the photos, she looks pretty good..."

Qin Zhen stood up expressionlessly, and interrupted him: "It's okay to leave."

Qian Ning didn't come to the party this Friday. It is said that he went to watch a movie with Wu Ye, and Sun Jing was just empty, with the expressionless expression on his face.

Holding the wine glass, Mi Bai asked cautiously, "Brother Sun, would you like a drink?"

Sun Jing picked up a glass and motioned to him, then drank it down, looking no different from usual.

In mid-December, Qin Zhen was sent by the courtyard to hold an academic exchange meeting in Pingdu. He went there for a month, and hurriedly invited other teachers to replace the classes he was taking.When Qin Zhen came back from Pingdu, the semester was coming to an end. He hurriedly completed the handover of his homework and saw Zhao Qian after the final exam. He heard that Qian Ning planned to take Wu Ye home to meet his parents during the Chinese New Year.

Qin Zhen asked, "Where's Sun Jing?"

Zhao Qian said: "It's still the same. To be honest, I have to wonder if he really likes Qian Ning. The person he likes takes others home to meet their parents. If it were different, I'm afraid I'd go crazy."

After the winter vacation, Qin Zhen went back to his hometown alone.

Among them, except for Mi Bai, the rest are fellow villagers, but Qin Zhen's vacation time is too early. If there is an occasional academic exchange meeting during the winter vacation, it will be good for ten days and a half months. If not, he will be better than the rest Nearly a month of vacation.Qin Zhen has rarely had the opportunity to go home since he left home to study abroad in high school, but he has a deep relationship with his parents. Every winter and summer vacation, he must go home early to accompany his parents, so he can only act alone.

From the high-speed rail to the ordinary train and then to the car, Qin Zhen spent nearly twelve hours on the road to get home. Qin's father and Qin's mother knew that he was going back, so they specially called a car to pick him up at the station.

"Xiao Zhen!"

When Qin Zhen heard the shout, he turned his head and saw his parents who were nearly sixty years old.He dragged the box and walked over quickly, and Qin's father stretched out his hand to pick up what was in his hand.

"Dad, I can take it by myself." Qin Zhen didn't let go, dragging the box and followed her mother, "I'm almost 30 years old, why don't you treat me like a child?"

"Hey, you think I'm old, don't you?!" Father Qin said, blowing his nose and staring.

Qin Zhen rolled his eyes in his heart, but said: "How can you? You are still very young, you look at most 40 years old!"

Qin's father couldn't help laughing at what he said, while Qin's mother whispered to Qin Zhen: "How is your health recently? Why do I feel that you seem to be thinner? Is your work in school going well? How does it feel to teach students? Sample?……"

Mother Qin's questions were all clichéd topics on the phone, but Qin Zhen answered them patiently: "I'm fine over there, so you don't have to worry."

On the 28th and [-]th of the twelfth lunar month, the rest of the people came back one after another. A group of people got together before the new year, and Qin Zhen finally met the legendary Wu Ye.

Qin Zhen took a few glances at the other party and thought: Well, he looks good, but he doesn't look as reliable as Sun Jing.

In the subsequent activities, he didn't pay attention to the person named Wu Ye any more, but he responded in a neutral manner when the other party mentioned him occasionally, so as not to make the scene too embarrassing.

Sun Jing did not come to this party.His mother is sick, and he has to stay at home to take care of her.After dinner, Zhao Qian and Wu Qingqing walked around the county with Qian Ning and Wu Ye, and Qin Zhen went to visit Sun Jing's mother together with Zheng Kai and Mi Bai.

Sun Jing's family lives in the north of the county. Sun Jing bought a new house five years ago. His father left early, and his mother worked hard to raise him alone. Before Sun Jing got good grades, his family's conditions were very poor. .

Sun Jing was not at home when Qin Zhen and his group arrived, and it was Qian Ning's mother who opened the door. Qin Zhen was taken aback when he saw Qian's mother, and then called auntie.Mother Qian welcomed them into the door, let them sit on the sofa, and brought out a plate of fruit to entertain them: "Sit down for a while, Xiao Jing went shopping, and will be back in a while."

Qin Zhen and Zheng Kai chatted with her for a while, and Qian's mother asked them about their recent situation softly, but she didn't mention Wu Ye at all. When referring to Qian Ning, she just said: "A Ning is not sensible at all. , I asked him to come and see Aunt Sun, but he refused. Sigh..."

Not long after Sun Jing came back, Mother Qian sat for a while and then left. Mi Bai asked Aunt Sun's situation, and Sun Jing shook his head: "It's fine. She forgot to close the window when she was sleeping last night, and she caught a cold, and she still had a low fever in the morning. I retired after taking the medicine, and I’m still sleeping now.”

Qin Zhen and the others were relieved, and it was inconvenient to disturb them any more, so they got up and left after a while: "If you have anything to do, call us. Brothers who have been together for so many years, don't see outsiders."

Sun Jing nodded and sent them to the door, but when he opened the door, he saw someone hurried downstairs.The man walked quickly, turned the corner in the blink of an eye, and disappeared from their sight. Qin Zhen and the others didn't care, and left after saying goodbye to Sun Jing.

On New Year's Eve, Qin Zhen followed her parents back to her grandpa's house for a New Year's Eve dinner, and then went home to watch the night with her parents.The Spring Festival Gala was still a regular program of the New Year's Eve. Qin Zhen sat between his parents, looking at his phone from time to time with one hand, and slowly kneading melon seeds with the other.Qin's father and Qin's mother are getting older, and their spirits are not as good as before. They leaned on the sofa and fell asleep when they saw eleven o'clock. Qin Zhen took the remote control and turned down the TV volume. Parents wake up.

The host on the TV was reading the Spring Festival couplets of various provinces, a big countdown was displayed in the lower right corner of the screen, Qin Zhen’s cell phone also started to vibrate non-stop, and all kinds of text messages poured in, as if rushing to a grand event reunion.

So Qin Zhen simply turned the phone to silent, threw it aside, and when the countdown was over, he quickly shouted to his parents with a smile on his face: "Dad, Mom, Happy New Year!"

Qin's father went back to the room and took a red envelope, and stuffed it stubbornly into Qin Zhen's hand. Qin's mother also said a happy new year to Qin Zhen, then yawned amidst the roaring firecrackers, rubbed her eyes and looked away. bedroom go.Qin Zhen turned off the TV, turned off the stove, and checked all kinds of power switches before returning to the bedroom with his mobile phone.

At [-]:[-], the text messages were almost received. Qin Zhen clicked on the inbox to read one by one, and then pulled out the previously saved template to reply to the other party.

Zhao Qian, Wu Qingqing, Qian Ning...the tutor, the dean, the deputy dean...and a few messages from the students, and Qin Zhen also answered them one by one. When he saw the last strange number, Qin Zhen was stunned , and then pulled the long text message of blessing to the bottom to have a look—there was no signature.

That number only sent him this text message, and the information was limited. Qin Zhen really couldn't guess the identity of the other party, and felt that it might have been sent by mistake. After thinking about it, he followed the template and sent him a reply.

In City A thousands of miles away, Lu Yunqi sent out the New Year greetings for his teachers and classmates early.He has been thinking about writing a New Year text message to Qin Zhen since the beginning of the winter vacation. After several days of editing and editing, at the last second of the countdown to midnight, he pressed the send button on the phone screen and felt his heart beating fast.

Lu Yunqi didn't have the habit of staying up late at home, his parents went to bed early, and only told him not to stay up late.Fireworks and firecrackers are prohibited in the city. In order not to disturb his parents, the TV at home is not loud. On this night, Lu Yunqi even felt that the loudest thing was his own heartbeat.

Twelve o'clock is the peak time for sending and receiving text messages. After midnight, Lu Yunqi's mobile phone began to receive blessing text messages from classmates and teachers one after another. He turned the phone to silent early and turned off the text message notification. Staying on the interface of receiving Qin Zhen's text message on the phone, I feel extremely nervous.

Qin Zhen's number was given to him by Tang Jun before the first meeting, but Lu Yunqi has never been able to use it, and now he used it for the first time, but he found out that he forgot to sign it after the text message was sent successfully.It would be deliberate to send another one for the sake of his signature, but it is too difficult for him to write another one temporarily. Lu Yunqi didn't want to use those text message templates, and he didn't want to just write a simple happy new year, so he could only stare at the phone In a daze, I prayed in my heart that Qin Zhen would not ignore his text messages.

After 10 minutes passed, Lu Yunqi finally couldn't help but yawned.He looked at the cell phone that was still there, turned off the TV in disappointment, and planned to go back to his room to sleep.

The room is extremely quiet, only the ticking of the wall clock, the dark night sky outside the window, and the lonely street lamp haloing a warm yellow halo on the road.

Lu Yunqi reluctantly took his mobile phone to bed, took it out and looked at it after he lay down.The mobile phone is still the same, Qin Zhen's number is only the long text message he sent, which looks a little pitiful in Lu Yunqi's eyes.

He probably thought I sent the wrong message... Lu Yunqi thought about it, and wanted to turn off the phone, but accidentally pressed a wrong button, turning the original silent mode back to vibrate.

Then the phone vibrated.

Lu Yunqi picked up his phone and looked at it. It was the text message from Qin Zhen that he had been looking forward to for a long time and was almost disheartened.

The content of the text message was very simple, only the words "Happy New Year" and Qin Zhen's signature, but Lu Yunqi was still filled with ecstasy, as if he had received some priceless treasure.He read the text message back and forth several times, his eyes lingering on the word "Qin Zhen", until he finally couldn't stand the drowsiness and fell asleep holding the phone.

Even when he was asleep, the corners of his mouth could not stop rising, his eyebrows and eyes were curved, as if even dreams were sweet.
