02. Fall down
Fortunately, there was no quarrel this time, but it seemed... the result was even more serious. Zhou Chu looked at the phone beside him and smiled helplessly.
This unexpected resignation led to Xia Qing's disappointment and the unhappiness between the two. Zhou Chu expected that he also knew that Xia Qing was for his own good, but he really didn't know how to explain it. Some things were really unable to explain, and what he said would only be considered as excessive pressure and mental weakness.
Zhou Chu always seems to be not good at expressing the truest thoughts in his heart, and even his original choices were the same. Staying in this city was just to wait for Xia Qing to graduate and choose a small company, just to be able to exercise his own ability to be independent and learn more, such as professional accidents and miscellaneous matters, such as pressure and others, but Zhou Chu felt that it was useless to say these, but instead made Xia Qing feel stressed or heavy. The choice was made by himself and just take on it. So in the past two years, Zhou Chu has allowed others to misunderstand and guess his original choice.
Even if this unexpected resignation can be explained, Zhou Chu probably felt that he would not say it. He would rather be thought that he could not hold on, give up on himself, or lose confidence, and intend to give up everything at the moment. It was like he had been in that company for the past two years. No matter how the fat man made things difficult and scolded him, he would pile up countless mountains of work for him, he took it down without saying a word, like a sponge, absorbing all his professional knowledge and work experience, just waiting to seize the best opportunity and then change jobs.
On that day, Xia Qing would understand what she did. Even if she didn't understand, or it was too late, it didn't matter. He just hoped that in the end, as long as Xia Qing could live the life she wanted, that would be enough. Sometimes Zhou Chu had such an idea in his heart.
But before the opportunity was waiting, something else happened...
What do you think about doing so much? When Zhou Chu came to his senses, the sun outside the window was already a little slanted, and the light in the room was a little dimmed.
It was going to be evening. Zhou Chu looked around and suddenly felt a little scared. But if he was not at home, where could he go?
In just a moment, Zhou Chu made a decision. He called his best friend Ou Cheng. No matter the other end of the phone, Ou Cheng pretended to be surprised and shouted, and then said something directly.
"Seven o'clock in the evening, TOP, see you."
TOP, the top expert Internet cafe, is an Internet cafe located in the most prosperous area of the university town. The configuration and environment here are among the best in the university town. When Zhou Chu was still young and studying, he had a period of time, hanging here with his best friends day and night. Almost every man had such or similar experiences when he was young and student. It was a wasteful time with high spirits and decadence. It was not until Zhou Chu met Qin Qing that such a life was terminated.
But I didn't expect that one day I would come back here in this way. Zhou Chu stood at the door, smoking a cigarette, and waiting for Oucheng.
Looking at the students coming and going on the commercial street and those energetic and carefree faces, Zhou Chu suddenly felt that he was a little old. It was not his age, but his mentality. It seemed that it was difficult for him to live carefree or even careless like these students.
"What are you thinking?" A hand pulled over Zhou Chu's shoulder from behind the intimate back, and a somewhat frivolous but nice magnetic baritone came.
"I didn't think anything, I just felt a little old." Zhou Chu took Ou Cheng's hand, not because he was not used to this too intimate way, but because he was a little hot, and then turned around and looked at the best friend in front of him.
I haven't seen each other for almost three months, but this guy seems to be like this foolish person forever, and a handsome face that doesn't deserve his life. When he saw that Ou Cheng was standing, Zhou Chu asked strangely.
"Where is your Ferrari?"
"I took a taxi." Ou Cheng shrugged, "I'm just here to play games, it's not picking up girls. So what can I do? I'll be killed by the eyes."
Unlike Zhou Chu, who is not a local, Oucheng is what the Internet says now is a rich second generation who is young and rich. His family has an annual income of nearly 10 million yuan. He also has a handsome face and talent in architectural design. He is also very loyal and emotional. He insists on talking about any shortcomings. It is probably the common problem of most young and rich second generations. He is fickle. Over the years, he has destroyed many goddesses in his mind.
Yes, Zhou Chu smiled and then walked into the Internet cafe with Oucheng.
Zhou Chu and Oucheng are both veteran World of Warcraft players and DOTA players. However, recently Oucheng has become obsessed with a battle game called League of Legends. Zhou Chu, who was once more than 1,800 in the DOTA game ladder, naturally got started quickly, and the two of them quickly got involved.
Time passed quickly, and it was almost midnight before Ou Cheng suddenly remembered something. While manipulating the characters in the game, he turned his head to ask Zhou Chu.
“I remember tomorrow is not a weekend.”
"Yeah, no."
"Then won't go to work tomorrow? Will you not go back tonight?" Ou Cheng asked his doubts. Zhou Chu rarely contacted them in the past two years. He worked day and night and worked overtime most of the time. Even if he occasionally came out for dinner and chat, he would say goodbye to everyone around eleven o'clock. But today, it seems that the sun did not set from the west. It was almost half an hour before midnight, and Zhou Chu had no idea to get up. You know, it would take at least half an hour to take a taxi from where Zhou Chu lives.
"I'm quitting." Zhou Chu continued to stare at the screen, but just threw out the answer that made Ou Cheng stunned.
"What?!" Ou Cheng simply stopped his operation and turned to look at Zhou Chu.
"Finish the fight first." Zhou Chu was still staring at the screen, "If you lose, you will be dead."
I don’t know why, since the day I met, Ou Cheng, who was not afraid of anyone, was afraid of Zhou Chu. So when I heard this, Ou Cheng could only turn around and continue the game, but he was a little absent-minded. After the word "big victory" finally appeared on the computer screen, Ou Cheng turned around and looked at Zhou Chu immediately.
"What's going on?"
"Nothing is going to happen."
"I figured it out, are you planning to change jobs or develop in the middle-level white-collar workers?"
"without."
"That's the argument with Xia Yatou?"
"This is not the point, I quit my job first before quarreling."
"Then why did you quit? Although it's a bit harder, if you don't want to do it, please inform me first and help you contact your next job." Ou Cheng was a little dissatisfied. He didn't care if others thought about Zhou Chu, but he was the one who knows Zhou Chu the best. This guy who always likes to carry everything silently, which is really worrying.
"There is no reason, I just don't want to do it anymore." Zhou Chu lit a cigarette for himself. The smoke filled Leocheng couldn't see his expression clearly, but Oucheng's intuition told him that Zhou Chu was hiding something from him.
"Stop talking too much." Zhou Chu looked at Oucheng, interrupted Oucheng's desire to speak, "I'll stay overnight tonight, are you here?"
Ou Cheng looked at Zhou Chu and sighed helplessly: "Okay, I won't ask, you should consider it yourself. I will sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman tonight. When I turn back and think about work, I will tell me, I will make arrangements for you."
Zhou Chu smiled, and did not refuse or agree, but just built a new game.
Fight for a night until dawn.
Looking at the time, it was already nine o'clock in the morning, and Oucheng couldn't hold on anymore and patted Zhou Chu on the shoulder.
"I'll do it first, you can go back early, don't be so crazy when you are crazy, it hurts your body."
"I understand." Zhou Chu smiled, "You go first, I'll go back after this."
"Sure, I'll leave first, what phone number do I have?"
“OK.”
After leaving Oucheng, Zhou Chu stared at the screen in front of him for a long time, then stood up and washed his face. In the mirror in the bathroom, he could see his dark circles due to the uneasy and pitiful sleep these days, as well as the dark circles after a night of high concentration. He was actually very tired, but he dared not sleep.
Yes, he is now extremely afraid of the night and sleep.
But how can people not sleep?
He didn't know, but just tried his best to stop falling asleep.
When I left Oucheng, I always felt a little uneasy, so I sent a text message to Qin Qing.
‘Zhou Chu was with me last night, and he resigned.’
Qin Qing quickly replied with a text message.
'I know.'
‘He is nothing wrong?’
‘No need to pay attention to him.’
There was no reply after that. The couple really had a quarrel, but Ou Cheng didn't know. His text message made Qin Qing feel even more disappointed, and the idea of sending a text message was dispelled. What Ou Cheng and Qin Qing didn't know was that in order to avoid sleep, Zhou Chu stayed in the Internet cafe until the next day before he returned to his home staggeringly.
Zhou Chu, who was almost like a coma, had his last thought that this time, he would not enter that damn nightmare again.
