we are all idiots

Chapter 39 The Past 31

Lu Qiulin pointed to the seat opposite, "Sit first."

The boy hesitated for a moment, but sat down anyway. Seeing his serious appearance, Lu Qiulin wanted to laugh.

"What do you do?"

"I'm still a student, I'm doing an internship now, and I'm graduating in one month."

"Oh? What major do you study?"

"Normal, S University Chinese Language and Literature Normal Major."

Lu Qiulin's eyes lit up. Isn't a normal student who will be leaving the campus in a month's time just what he needs?

Lu Qiulin said again: "It's good to be a teacher, this is an iron rice bowl."

Hearing this, the boy's eyes dimmed, and he pursed his lips and said softly, "But I can't be a teacher."

"Why?" Lu Qiulin felt sorry for the boy subconsciously, and specially ordered a glass of soda for him, "Speak slowly, drink some water first."

The boy sighed, probably felt that Lu Qiulin had helped him and was a trustworthy person, he gradually relaxed, clasped his hands around the cup, leaned forward slightly, lowered his head, and arched his back.Lu Qiulin has studied psychology, so he can naturally see that this is a young man who is extremely insecure and has low self-esteem. He reached out and patted the back of the boy's hand, "Don't worry, just speak slowly."

The boy looked up at Lu Qiulin with a grateful smile, and slowly said: "My family is in a very backward place in the west, where it is very poor, very very poor, and there is not even a decent school. In my hometown, young people go out to work No, the children stayed at home and did not go to school. I also wanted to go home to be a teacher after graduation and teach the children there. But not long ago, my dad was injured while working outside. The boss lost a little money and couldn’t find anyone. Well, that little money was spent in a short while, my dad is still lying in the hospital, I have to make money, but the school here doesn’t accept foreigners with no background like me, now I can only be a temporary lecturer in the museum member."

Lu Qiulin listened quietly to the boy's narration, unable to tell what it was like in his heart.The gap between the rich and the poor is huge. This is the current situation in China. The economy is the same, and so is the education. Those who are rich can't wait to let their children put everything they can learn into their heads. Tutoring, and poor children can't even hope for literacy.As a result, the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. This has formed a vicious circle. The national education department has been changing the status quo, but with little success.

Not only education, but also medical care, these are the big problems facing poor areas. Lu Qiulin usually has a lot of eloquence, but now he doesn't know what to say to comfort him.

"Listen, you are great, you are the best boy I have ever seen," Lu Qiulin said in a gentle tone as much as possible, "I am now setting up an educational institution, if you want, when the institution is established, you You can come to me to be a training teacher, the salary is calculated according to the class hours, we will discuss it in detail at that time, it should not be lower than in school, what do you think?"

The boy raised his head and looked at Lu Qiulin in surprise, "You, is what you said true?"

Lu Qiulin smiled gently, "Of course it's true. By the way, do you have a teacher qualification certificate?"

"Yes, yes!" said the boy, looking around, embarrassed, "I'm sorry, I didn't bring a bag today, but I did bring my student ID card, and we will take the qualification certificate test before we graduate from the normal school."

Lu Qiulin took the student ID card in his hand, opened it, and found that Liu Xia, born in 199?, the school name and major were exactly what he said. Lu Qiulin closed the student ID card and returned it to him, and asked the bartender He asked for a pen and paper and wrote a series of numbers for him. While writing, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind. He seemed to have forgotten to ask Qin Lei for his contact information. Will he go to the Qin Group to find him next time?

Lu Qiulin shook his head, forget it, there is always a way to find him.

He handed the note to Liu Xia, "Liu Xia, this is my phone number, my name is Lu Qiulin, you can call me Brother Lu, if you need anything, just call me."

Liu Xia carefully folded the note and held it tightly in the palm of her hand, "Brother Lu, thank you!"

"Meeting means fate, so don't take it to heart." Lu Qiulin said with a smile. .

"Qiu Lin, did I come by accident?" Song Wei's teasing voice came from the side.

"Okay, this is my brother. I've been waiting for you for a long time, and I asked for a drink." Lu Qiulin was quite helpless, and this was the image of himself in the hearts of his friends.

Seeing someone coming, Liu Xia quickly stood up, nodded to Song Wei, and said to Lu Qiulin, "Brother Lu, then I'll go first."

Lu Qiulin nodded, "Okay, be careful on the road."

Song Wei looked at the back of Liu Xia walking away, sat down on the opposite side, and said twice, "It's really stunning! Qiu Lin, this is obviously your dish. Be honest, is it Brother Qing?"

Qiu Lin pushed the bottle towards Song Wei, "Don't talk nonsense, he is still a college student."

"Nowadays, everyone says that they are college students, especially those who come out to sell. They want to wear good clothes and use them well but don't want to work hard to make money. This method is the fastest way to make money, especially suitable for you, a diamond king who has a career and is single. , take it easy."

Lu Qiulin took a sip of wine, and said helplessly: "You think too much, he is really a student, not as bad as you said, I did him a little favor, he said he was a normal student, I just wanted to let him He came to my institution to try, that's all."

"It's that simple?" Song Wei asked suspiciously.

"It's that simple."

Song Wei sighed, remained silent for a while, and spoke again in a different tone of solemnity: "Qiu Lin, I know that as a friend, there are some things I shouldn't say, but I have to say them again. Auntie called me yesterday, and she Let me ask you, is it true that you can't find a woman?"

Speaking of this, Song Wei looked up at Lu Qiulin's face, that face was still calm, but his eyes were complicated, with guilt, self-blame, confusion, but more helplessness.

Yes, helpless.For comrades, it only takes a short time to determine their sexual orientation. It takes a short time to convince their parents to accept it, and to get the approval of their family members, but they have to walk a difficult and bumpy road like learning from the scriptures. Some people even never get to the end.

Lu Qiulin came out to his parents when he was in college. His parents were very traditional people. They couldn't accept the shock at first. They didn't speak a word to him for two years. After graduation, Lu Qiulin worked hard outside alone. Perhaps the zero communication in the past two years made the parents feel that they could not live without their only son, and slowly began to take the initiative to talk to him on the phone. At first Lu Qiulin thought that they had accepted the fact that they were gay, but unexpectedly, they did not. When he mentioned his sexuality, he would intentionally or unintentionally talk about which family's son married a beautiful wife, which family had a new cute doll. Lu Qiulin knew that his parents had never accepted it.He listened quietly and never responded. It's not that he doesn't desire a normal life, but he can't even be hard on women, so how can he harm others?

"Qiu Lin, I'm not telling you this to persuade you to find a woman. Sexual orientation cannot be easily changed, but should you find someone to settle down with? I don't think aunt and uncle insist that you find a woman to marry, they just I don't want to see you live alone for the rest of your life, if you can live well, what's the difference between a man and a woman?"

Why is Lu Qiulin unwilling to find someone to live a good life, but it is not so easy, this circle is too complicated, and their feelings are too fragile, finding someone who treats each other sincerely is as likely as winning the lottery, Lu Qiulin dare not take it easy Try it, whether you say he is timid or loves to play, in short, he still doesn't want to be imprisoned by anyone.

Lu Qiulin smiled, "My mother is looking for you again, isn't it annoying?"

"Qiu Lin!" Song Wei was very dissatisfied with his attitude.

Lu Qiulin rubbed the center of his brows and stopped laughing, "Song Wei, you should know that people like us are not so easy to get emotional. Love is a luxury for us. Have you seen how many homosexuals grow old forever? ?too difficult!"

After Lu Qiulin finished speaking, he shook his head and took another gulp of wine.

Song Wei knew that he shouldn't continue this topic, so he snatched the wine bottle from Lu Qiulin's hand, "Drink less. By the way, you said the funding problem has been solved, how did you solve it?"

"I let Qin Lei invest."

Song Wei looked at him in surprise for a while, then put the wine bottle heavily on the table, "Damn Lu Qiulin, don't you consider me a friend! I have already written a check for you, I thought you had a way I haven't sent it to you, I'm afraid it will refute your face, but in the end you came up with such a bad move?!"

Song Wei was so angry that his face turned green. He told Lu Qiulin that he wanted Lu Qiulin to find Qin Lei to see if he could reduce the extra rent. He didn't want someone like Qin Lei to intervene in his friend's life.

Lu Qiulin didn't expect Song Wei's reaction to be so strong. He said: "Qin Lei has no right to speak in the Qin family. He can't make the decision to reduce or exempt the rent. It's the same for him to invest."

"Lu Qiulin, are you out of your mind? Am I talking about money? I'm talking about Qin Lei! If you don't believe what I told you, go out and find out yourself, who is this young master of the Qin family? Such a person, you ask the people in S City, who doesn't know that this surnamed Qin is a living ancestor who cannibalizes people and doesn't spit out his bones! It's too late for others to hide from him, so you'd better recruit him to your organization !"

Song Wei finished speaking in one breath, grabbed the bottle and poured it into his mouth.

Lu Qiulin waited for him to finish his drink before he sighed and said, "If you asked me to find him to reduce the rent, wouldn't you be recruiting him? You also said that he is a living ancestor, and the living ancestor will help me without compensation? And it’s still his own family’s money.”

Song Wei choked, and stared at Lu Qiulin with a pair of eyes, "So it's still my fault?"

It was the first time that Lu Qiulin found out that his friend was so eager to get into horns, so he said helplessly, "It's alright, let's have a drink, just pretend I didn't say it's alright!"

"Hey you..."

"Drink your bar." Lu Qiulin picked up the bottle and put it in Song Wei's mouth.

"Let go, I'll drink it myself."

After a moment of silence, Lu Qiulin said: "Song Wei, do you know? No matter if I ask Qin Lei to reduce the rent or let him invest, I can't break my connection with him. You...you don't understand."

Seeing Lu Qiulin like this, Song Wei didn't want to say much. He just thought that he owed Qin Lei a favor, so he patted him on the shoulder and said, "You don't need to say anything, I understand, I'm just worried about you, but you, Mr. Lu Who is it, I believe you can handle it, just talk about it!"

Lu Qiulin smiled gratefully. There were some things he couldn't say for the time being. He raised the wine bottle to Song Wei. Song Wei touched him, and the two drank the slightly bitter wine at the same time.

What happened in the bar was quickly forgotten by Lu Qiulin. The next day, Lu Qiulin contacted the property owner to pay the 15 rent and re-signed the contract. During this period, Lu Qiulin didn't say much. It is useless to talk about Qin Lei. The property management staff looked at him strangely. Other tenants came over and made a noise and wanted to tear down their building. How could this man be so calm.

Coming out of the Golden Dragon Building, Lu Qiulin's cell phone rang. He picked it up and saw it was an unfamiliar number. After connecting, no one spoke to the other side.

"Hey, who, don't tell me I'm dead." Lu Qiulin asked again patiently.

"Mr. Lu, did you miss me?" It was Qin Lei.

The familiar voice came through the radio waves, a little distorted, but Lu Qiulin's heart beat a few times inexplicably.

"How do you have my number?"

"Hehe!" Qin Lei's laughter shook Lu Qiulin's eardrum, and he subconsciously took the phone away from his ear. "In City S, it's easy for me to get anyone's number. Teacher Lu, I'm going to your house for dinner tonight. Don't forget to buy some vegetables."

Lu Qiulin's head started to hurt again. This guy doesn't know how to write the word polite, and he doesn't know what demeanor is. He does whatever he wants and never considers other people's feelings. To him, Lu Qiulin is like A punch on the cotton, completely useless.

In the evening, of course Lu Qiulin didn't buy groceries. When Qin Lei came over, the refrigerator was empty.

Looking at Lu Qiulin who was sitting on the sofa with his computer in his arms watching American dramas, Qin Lei didn't say anything. He picked up the coat on the sofa and threw it at him, "Put it on, let's go out to eat!"

Lu Qiulin lightly raised his lower eyelids, and looked back at the computer screen again, "No appetite."

Qin Lei stepped in front of Lu Qiulin in a big stride, picked up the computer and put it beside him, "You're not a child anymore, you have to eat even if you don't have an appetite."

Lu Qiulin found it funny inexplicably, this was the first time someone said he looked like a child. Could it be that the two of them looked more like children than Qin Lei?

Qin Lei sat down next to Lu Qiulin, wrapped his arms around his waist from behind, buried his face in his neck, the atmosphere suddenly became ambiguous, Lu Qiulin subconsciously wanted to avoid, but Qin Lei tightened his arms, unable to escape.

"Teacher Lu, I miss you." Qin Lei rubbed his mouth against his earlobes and the soft flesh under his ears, his voice was low and hoarse, as if a sharp sword was directly hitting people's hearts.

Goosebumps appeared all over Lu Qiulin's body, and he shrank his head.

"Do you miss me? Teacher Lu."

Qin Lei talked to Mr. Lu one by one, and Lu Qiulin had the illusion that he was a sex monster who abducted and trafficked underage students.

"Sit down first." Lu Qiulin pushed Qin Lei.

Not only did Qin Lei not let go, but he also took advantage of the situation to push Lu Qiulin down on the sofa.
