intellectual norms

Qiao Yu had dinner with Chen Ke this evening. He wanted to learn about the situation of the School of Construction Engineering and the Design Institute through Chen Ke in advance, project status, interpersonal relationships, etc. Although he is not good at it, he has never maintained unnecessary interpersonal relationships. Social, but it is good to know the most basic situation in advance.

According to Chen Ke's words, here are a bunch of rough old men. They speak based on their strength, and their interpersonal relationship is relatively simple. With Qiao Yu's qualifications and strength, there is no need to waste unnecessary thoughts on dimensionality reduction, and the old dean He really came from the grassroots. He has rich academic theory and practical experience. He is very protective at critical times. The working atmosphere is very OK. Otherwise, with such a bold and unrestrained life style, he would probably hold meetings every week in other institutes. The object of being criticized, but no one cares about these things here, just teach well, do a good job in projects, and manage your own bottom line.

That's good, Qiao Yu thought.

Certain domestic environments are harsher than foreign ones. In the United States, he has not disclosed his orientation, but he has not deliberately concealed it. Here, he does not know how far he can be "free".

After dinner, Chen Ke naturally didn't let him go, she wanted to drag him to the bar I mentioned last time, but Qiao Yu couldn't help it and went too.

I went to this kind of place when I was studying. Before being with Lin Zhihua, he tried to go to a same-sex bar when he was confirming his orientation and intentions. Some things can only be tried with strangers. He wants to know if he likes men. , or just like Lin Zhihua.

But the only attempt was fruitless. As soon as he went, many people came to strike up a conversation. Seeing his white and clean Asian face, many tall and big guys took the initiative to attack him. He couldn't stand it. He felt that they He may have misunderstood something. He finally got rid of the big muscular men. He was looking for the type he was interested in in the bar. After looking around, he didn’t have any special feelings. He felt that he could take that step and take the initiative. Say something, no.

And I was not used to this kind of "strike up" style of making friends, and I couldn't overcome my mentality of being a little clean freak, so I never went there again.

Unexpectedly, there are such bars in China, and there seem to be quite a few of them. After listening to Chen Ke counting out a few, Qiao Yu laughed dumbly. He didn't understand why Chen Ke, a straight man, always made people feel like he was in the gay circle and made fun of him directly. Is it an undercover agent sent by a straight man?

Chen Ke brought Qiao Yu to Adonis, and said, "I've checked everything, and this one has the best appearance on average. It's a Greek handsome bar with a good reputation. The boss can't smash his own sign."

"Why, don't you have to check your appearance before entering the arena?" Qiao Yu said with a smile.

"That's not the case. When you come to this kind of place, you have to be rich or beautiful."

"You said that only money and sex transactions are left in our gay circle, it's too dirty..." Qiao Yu knew whether Chen Ke was talking nonsense, or he had to justify his comrades: "We also talk about love occasionally."

"Hahahahaha..." Chen Ke burst into laughter, but his mood was complicated.

He hoped that Qiao Yu would be as indifferent, so free and easy, and so easy to pick up and put down as he showed.

This guy doesn't agree with his heart, he doesn't talk about love occasionally, it's because he can't learn to play games in this life, he only talks about love.

Qiao Yu doesn't dislike comrades, it's rare for comrades to have a place of their own, whether it's a business deal or a blind date, it's fine.

There is no couple here, even if he and Chen Ke walk in together, they will be regarded as two single men by default, and those who are interested in them will come to strike up a conversation.

The atmosphere of this bar is good, the music is good, and the decoration is not gaudy. Qiao Yu can see at a glance that the original building is quite old, and it is not considered an old house, but it is also simple and grand. A lot of modern facilities have been added inside, and this kind of renovation that combines old and new is also his favorite.

Everyone else was looking at people, but only because of his professional habits, he started to look at houses.

Chen Ke has a handsome appearance and a flirtatious air, which attracts a lot of people. He also quickly chatted with a handsome boy like a fake. Qiao Yu ordered a glass of wine and sat alone by the window without disturbing them. with.

The guests in this bar are really good-looking. Maybe in this atmosphere and environment, everyone has their own three-point ambiguous filter. Objective, calm mood to drink, relax yourself.

Someone came to talk to him from the moment he entered the door, and he politely refused, and then a boy came over and said to him in English: "I have watched you for a long time, and you rejected three people, I am very surprised why you will be here?"

Qiao Yu turned her head and was stunned.

This is a very young boy, wearing a sports T-shirt and shorts, tall and thin, with short hair and a small diamond earring. His skin is tanned honey, but his eyes and teeth are shining brightly.

Qiao Yu felt that he saw 18-year-old Lin Zhihua for a moment.

The boy saw his blankness, waved his hands in front of him, and said with a bright smile: "Hi, you didn't drive me away, so we can get to know each other? My name is Matt."

Still speaking in English, he stretched out his hand to Qiao Yu. Qiao Yu shook his head lightly and replied, "Hello." He didn't introduce himself.

"OK." The boy didn't mind his politeness, and sat down next to Qiao Yu, holding a blue 1664 in his hand.

The boy was indeed only 18 years old. After sitting down, he briefly said that he is a Chinese-American, but his father works in China. In recent years, he will come here every summer vacation. This year is probably the last year, because he is about to go to college. I have to go to work in the summer vacation in the future, so I can't play around like this anymore.

Chinese, Qiao Yu thought, even the way they speak is very similar, frank and enthusiastic, like California sunshine.

Qiao Yu didn't talk about himself, even though Matt looked at him expectantly after he finished speaking.

Qiao Yu only had a touch of wine with him and said, "I hope you have a good time on your last vacation."

Matt smiled and raised his head to drink, with a beautiful neck curve.

Then he moved the stool, got closer to Qiao Yu, leaned close to Qiao Yu's ear, changed his unproficient Chinese, and said slowly, word by word: "If I go with you tonight, It should be the best memory of this holiday.”

Under the table, he put his hand on Qiao Yu's thigh, and while talking, he poked his fingers into Qiao Yu's inner thigh.

Qiao Yu remained calm, pinched the restless fingers with one hand, still smiling, and whispered into his ear, "But uncle is here tonight."

"Who?" The boy didn't believe it, and raised his eyebrows in a provocative tone.

Qiao Yu twitched the corner of her mouth, said nothing, but directly pressed the hand under the table to the table, the meaning was self-evident, "You don't need to know about uncle."

Matt, who is only 18 years old, seems to be familiar with the routines of gay bars, and will not be too entangled. Seeing that the other party refuses so mercilessly, he gave up resentfully, shrugged and said, "It's a pity."

Qiao Yu didn't care about him anymore, turned her head to drink by herself, glanced at the yard outside the window, huh?

He couldn't see clearly from inside the house at night, but he frowned, why did that figure look so much like Xia Xiaoli just now?

Xia Xiaoli? ? ?How could he be here? ? ?

Qiao Yu was taken aback. When he looked back carefully, there was no one outside. He looked at the wine glass, wouldn't it be possible that he would start to get dazzled after drinking so much?

Xia Xiaoli ran wildly in the alley, as if a beast was chasing him.

Jian Rong almost couldn't catch up. When he caught up, the two of them had already reached the end of the alley. There were no residential houses here, only an old brick wall, and the street lamps couldn't shine through. The trees were thickly shaded, and the moonlight even covered them. Yes, it's pitch black.

Facing the dead end road in front of him, Xia Xiaoli stopped panting, Jian Rong also panted, and slowly approached, he was a little taller than Xia Xiaoli, he would look down at Xia Xiaoli and ask him: "What are you running for? You're scared?"
