catch the dream

what is the future?

The future Yu Hao envisioned is very simple, they each find a job and settle down in a sunny city.The two of them bought a suite and raised a big golden retriever. Zhou Sheng went out for a run in the morning to walk the dog, and brought him breakfast when he came back.At that time, he crawled out of the bed again, brushed his teeth and washed his face with messy hair, Zhou Sheng patted his butt, and went to take a shower and go to work.

Get off work at night, buy good food and make a meal, sit at the dining table and eat dinner, Zhou Sheng washes the dishes with a cigarette in his mouth, Yu Hao does housework, after the end, they surf the Internet, play games and catch up with new anime series, come to bed at ten o'clock. One shot, sleep.On holidays, I carry my bags and hold hands and go out on vacation...

This is all that Yu Hao could imagine his ideal life with his poor imagination.On the day when we grow old, we lie on the bed together and say: "Thank you for your love in this life, and see you in the next life." Then close your eyes, well, we will die together, and this life will end.

However, after being reminded by Chen Yekai that "the Golden Crow Wheel may be a separator between the soul and the body", Yu Hao had a vague feeling that he no longer feared death. Could it be that they would still be in the Golden Crow Wheel after the life of the body ended? , meet again in that magnificent and beautiful hall, keeping their youthful appearance?

"So we have to live this kind of life." Yu Hao cheered up and said, "Without your father's help, how much money do we need?"

Zhou Sheng watched Yu Hao settle the accounts at the dining table with a bit of dumbfounding, and replied, "Your dream is really simple. A few million."

Yu Hao: "How many millions?"

A two-bedroom apartment, one for them to live in, and one for a study to keep a dog, seventy to eighty square meters, can be loaned, two people work hard together, can't make money to buy a house in a lifetime?

"220 million renovations." Yu Hao said, "You can live comfortably in Ying City."

"Hmm..." Zhou Sheng turned his head to look at Yu Hao's form, as long as he doesn't have too strong material desires, it doesn't seem too difficult.In this way, they need to find a job with a monthly salary of [-] to [-] yuan each five or six years after graduation, and the total family income can reach about [-] yuan, which can barely afford the life of Yu Hao's dream .

Yu Hao raised his eyes and looked at Zhou Sheng with a smile. This time coming out of the closet set off a violent storm. Zhou Laichun didn't call them a single call during the whole Chinese New Year. All support is cut off.Zhou Sheng took the start-up capital card his father gave him to find a city runner and sent it to Yun Laichun. The meaning was very clear, the money will be returned to you, and my own wife will take care of it.

However, this also made them feel relieved that they don't have to be afraid of their teachers and classmates pointing them out. Zhou Sheng is not even afraid of his own parents, why would he be afraid of you, Xue Long?Talk about things if you have something to say, shut up if you have nothing to do.They can now be together openly and aboveboard.

Zhou's mother called them on the third day of the new year, and finally came back to her senses and scolded Zhou Sheng. What impressed Yu Hao most was that what Zhou's mother said at the end was: "Forget it, let it be like this, anyway, you It is better to give birth to a char siu than to give birth to another child, and let him die."

Yu Hao didn't dare to intervene. In the end, Zhou's mother offered to raise Zhou Sheng's living expenses from two thousand four thousand to three thousand two thousand. When Zhou Sheng was about to refuse, Zhou's mother said, "If you don't have money, let someone eat shit with you? Mom borrowed it from you, and I'll pay it back after work."

"Alright then." Zhou Sheng was originally planning to find a part-time job to earn some money, but he understood what Zhou's mother meant.After hanging up the phone, Yu Hao said, "I don't want to spend your mother's money."

"She said she borrowed it." Zhou Sheng said, "It's fine to pay back the principal with interest after graduation. Don't you think she's actually quite happy?"

Yu Hao furiously said, "Happy ass! Why can't I hear that she's happy?"

Zhou Sheng said seriously: "She is quite satisfied, because I have severed ties with my dad. Sometimes I feel, well, she will have to compete with the old man in her whole life, and the competition will never end."

When Yu Hao thought about it carefully, it seemed that this was indeed the case. Zhou Sheng's mother proved the value of her existence, and she always achieved it by contradicting Zhou Laichun.Zhou Laichun refused to admit that his son had sex with boys, so Zhou's mother insisted on doing the opposite.Zhou Laichun cut off all financial assistance to his son, and Zhou’s mother was even willing to increase Zhou Sheng’s living expenses within her ability. Zhou Laichun’s attitude was “you get lost”, while Zhou’s mother’s attitude was “Let the Zhou family cut off their sons and grandchildren.” Alright hahahaha", anyway, he was right to be pissed off.

Zhou's mother will definitely support anything that can piss Zhou Laichun to death.

"Then... we all have to work hard."

During the New Year, Zhou Sheng smiled sadly when he saw Yu Hao making a new life plan.

"Come study now." Yu Hao replied.

There is such a period in everyone's life that we must completely break away from the support of the original family, go out, and face the time of life independently.

Yu Hao had already experienced it at the end of his third year of high school, but Zhou Sheng never had it. From this point of view, Yu Hao is relatively precocious among his peers.This is why most of the time, he and Chen Yekai have a tacit understanding. After all, they are both people who have gone through this period of psychological growth and have a common experience.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Yu Hao told Chen Yekai about the matter, and Chen Yekai said with a smile, "Next, I'll wait for Zhou Sheng's father to make an offer. Guess how much money the check will fall on your face." ?”

Yu Hao said helplessly, "Of course I won't ask for a penny."

Chen Yekai said: "Let me give you an idea, to ensure that he will have nothing to do with you."

After listening to the report, Zhou Sheng appreciated Chen Yekai's "idea" very much, but Yu Hao was still vaguely worried.

He knew that Zhou Sheng needed time to get used to it. From the day they were together, Zhou Sheng tried his best to understand and learn to play the role of a man who takes on the responsibility of building a family.It stands to reason that it would be much better if there is a smooth transition during this period. However, many people are not smooth after entering society. The change of circumstances is like a sudden blow to the head, smashing their proud self-esteem to pieces. .

Yu Hao had already been mercilessly hit by this hammer, but he didn't want Zhou Sheng to be hit directly, it was too painful.

Chen Yekai, Ou Qihang, Huang Ting, Xiao Yujun, Fu Liqun... Yu Hao learned a lot from his friends, which made him start to adjust his life goals.

When you are in college, you can spend enough money to keep you alive. The most important thing is to study hard and not waste your time because of part-time jobs.So Yu Hao stopped spending too much time doing part-time jobs and pursuing material comforts, and did his job well as a student.With good grades, he can face Xue Long confidently, and won't be looked down upon by the teachers and students in the academy.

A year passed by almost in a blink of an eye, and under Yu Hao's persuasion, Zhou Sheng exchanged his trip for two to Australia as a bonus. The air tickets could not be refunded but could only be changed, and the hotel expenses were temporarily kept to subsidize the family.Zhou Sheng couldn't beat Yu Hao, so he had to give in in the end.

"You're so smart," Yu Hao said to Zhou Sheng, "You can definitely study business."

"Don't mention business to me." Zhou Sheng was a little annoyed. Yu Hao didn't know what was wrong with business. Zhou Sheng's mathematics was very good. Yu Hao sometimes felt that he was even slightly better than Chen Yekai, but Zhou Sheng didn't want to be It's impossible for a programmer to learn programming, let alone do some academic research. After much deliberation, Yu Hao found that only business is the most suitable for him.

But every time Zhou Sheng was asked to study finance, Zhou Sheng was quite resistant, and Yu Hao had no choice but to not urge him.In the end, Zhou Sheng chose English by himself, and planned to improve his English, and then advanced to learn business English.The reason is that it will be convenient to take Yu Hao out to travel around the world in the future...

The ginkgo tree on the sidewalk of the layman turned green and yellow, and the pear blossoms withered and bloomed again. After a while, Fu Liqun started to contact Cen Shan again. Both parties met occasionally and had a meal as "friends". Don't even open a room.

Both parties did not mention reunion, nor did they completely cut off contact.Yu Hao thought to himself, what does this matter?But in the final analysis, love is Fu Liqun's own business, and he and Zhou Sheng can't talk about it.

Yu Hao knew that Fu Liqun must still be in love with Cen Shan, and the two parties should have negotiated certain conditions and yielded to each other for a while.

Fu Liqun usually had a good time with Li Yangming, and occasionally he didn't act together with Zhou Sheng and Yu Hao. If the time was three to seven, he gave Li Yangming three parts, and took him out to eat and go shopping from time to time.

Yu Hao understood that Fu Liqun didn't want to disturb the world of the two of them too much, and Zhou Sheng also said that everyone has their own goals in life, so he didn't force Fu Liqun to act with them from time to time.Anyway, Fu Liqun would come back when he went to bed at night.

It’s another Chinese Valentine’s Day, last year Yu Hao bought a set of e-cigarettes for Zhou Sheng as a birthday present to let him quit smoking, and Zhou Sheng bought Yu Hao a game console, Yu Hao thought that this birthday gift of yours was really not what you wanted Play!

This year Yu Hao is ready to buy birthday presents for Fu Liqun and Zhou Sheng together.Everyone hardly said anything, but they knew in their hearts that after the junior year, entering the senior year, it might be their last year together.

"Is there a lot of homework this year?" Cen Shan came over to celebrate their birthday, and said with a smile, "The big man said that you are at home every day, are you going to take the postgraduate entrance examination?"

In the third year of junior year, the schoolwork was heavy, and the physical education class was a little better. Yu Hao really spent all his energy on coping with the courses, so he barely managed to rank in the grade.The more he read seriously, the more he realized that he was not the material for reading, but Zhou Sheng could learn very well by just reading books casually.There is a real difference in IQ from person to person.

"Don't take the exam, right?" Yu Hao was also a little confused. In fact, the junior year is over, and during the summer vacation, everyone is discussing where to go after graduation. After all, the summer vacation is the senior year, and everyone has to go Find an internship and prepare for social work.

He also imagined that Chen Yekai was going to be a graduate student, and doing studies to support himself, but Yu Hao had to admit that people cannot be born equal, and the root of this inequality is reflected in the inherent inequality in IQ.

"Then... my sister will ask, can I find you an internship?" Cen Shan asked again.

Fu Liqun winked. Everyone understood that if it really depended on the family, Zhou Sheng's family could solve it directly, and there was no need for Cen Shan to help Zhang Luo.

Yu Hao said, "Let's look for it ourselves first."

Zhou Laichun hadn't called Zhou Sheng for more than a year, but Zhou's mother still called Yu Hao once a week as usual. Yu Hao still called her "Auntie" and Zhou's mother called him "Haohao" , The two sides had a tacit understanding and agreed that nothing happened on that New Year's Eve.

Fu Liqun wore a lucky rope woven by Yu Hao on his wrist, and Yu Hao gesticulated on Cen Shan's wrist, and each of them bought a pure gold transfer bead, which Zhou Sheng wore together with a golden black wheel string, and Yu Hao also gave Fu Liqun and Cen Shan each Made up an article, Cen Shan's work is almost done.

Cen Shan stretched out her wrist for the test, and said with a smile, "Then what are your plans for the future?"

Fu Liqun said casually, "I don't have any plans, I don't know why."

Cen Shan frowned, and patted Fu Liqun on the head. Fu Liqun smiled, glanced at Cen Shan, and said, "I've already thought about it, so don't worry about it."

The atmosphere of the meal was a bit weird, and Yu Hao sensitively sensed that there must be some unresolved issues between Fu Liqun and Cen Shan.Cen Shan tactfully avoided her plans after school started, and Zhou Sheng never mentioned the situation at home.After dinner, the driver of Cen Shan's family came to pick her up, Yu Hao said, "It's hard to come here once, can't you stay?"

Cen Shan said: "Next time, I have to go to the teacher's place tomorrow."

Zhou Sheng was collecting the dishes on the dining table, and said to Fu Liqun, "Aren't you going to send sister-in-law down?"

Fu Liqun took the key and sent Cen Shan downstairs. Cen Shan turned her head at the door and smiled at Yu Hao, "Baby eyelashes, sister is leaving now."

Cen Shan's smile was really heart-stirring, sometimes Yu Hao would be overwhelmed as a gay, but just tonight, Yu Hao vaguely sensed that things didn't seem so simple.

"Why do you feel weird today?"

Zhou Sheng was washing the dishes in the kitchen, while Yu Hao wiped the dishes with a dry towel, and said, "The two of them are always acting weird, so nothing will happen, right?"

Zhou Sheng said: "Sister-in-law is going abroad for further studies."

Yu Hao: "How long?"

Zhou Sheng: "For three years, go to Vienna to study music conducting."

Yu Hao thought to himself that this major sounds too lofty, and asked again: "Then brother will follow?"

"What do you think?" Zhou Sheng laughed.

Only then did Yu Hao realize that Cen Shan came to eat today, which was equivalent to saying goodbye, so he asked, "When will you enroll?"

"October." Zhou Sheng said, "At that time, we should all go to practice. It's not easy to make an appointment, so let's say goodbye in advance."

Yu Hao felt a little disappointed. In this way, if Fu Liqun didn't go with Cen Shan, they would be in a foreign country completely. Even though Cen Shan had a vacation, she would still come back, and the chances of seeing each other would only be less than now. Zhou Sheng was separated for three years, and he didn't know how to live.

Yu Hao remembered that he and Zhou Sheng had formally fallen in love and had only been together for two years.But for some reason it seems like a long, long time has passed.

"Brother can actually follow along." Yu Hao said, "Go and learn something else, being a ski instructor is also pretty good."

"It's easy to say." Zhou Sheng said, "If you're not familiar with the place, don't look at my sister-in-law who lives a petty bourgeois life. Learning to conduct is very hard. There are a lot of lessons every day."

Yu Hao thought about it, and Zhou Sheng said again: "Sister-in-law's father's intention is very obvious. He just wants to separate the two of them. People and people, under different circumstances, the distance will become wider and wider. It's lonely in a foreign country..."

Yu Hao said: "Both of them are not the kind of people who can't stand loneliness."

Zhou Sheng said "Yes", and replied, "So, let's see if we can pass this test."

After Yu Hao finished wiping all the dishes, Zhou Sheng cleaned up the stove. The two stood together, and Zhou Sheng said, "Did you forget something?"

Yu Hao smiled as if he had eaten his cooked food every day, and kissed him to show his satisfaction, then Zhou Sheng opened the refrigerator and gave him fruit to eat.

"Graduation is a hurdle." Zhou Sheng was very rational and calm sometimes, "The owner of this house is the master of graduation."

Sitting on the sofa and eating fruit, Yu Hao felt that homosexuality is sometimes good. After all, parents and family have overcome such great resistance. Is there any setback in reality that can separate them?

Yu Hao said: "I think the key lies in my brother, he urgently needs to solve his own future, as long as he has a firm belief in the future path..."

The key sounded to open the door, and the two stopped talking. Fu Liqun came back and glanced at them.

Zhou Sheng: "Sent away?"

Fu Liqun said: "Her father came to pick him up in person."

There is a huge amount of information contained in one sentence, and Yu Hao couldn't even deduce Fu Liqun's mood at the moment.Zhou Sheng got up and took two cans of cold beer, and handed one to Fu Liqun. Fu Liqun lay down on the sofa, put his foot on Yu Hao's waist, and pushed him to the other side of the sofa while keeping parallel.

Yu Hao: "..."

Zhou Sheng didn't speak, and lay lazily on the single sofa, like a hunting dog fast asleep but always vigilant.The living room remained silent like this. Outside the air-conditioned room, the cicadas on the trees kept chirping. Sometimes they suddenly fell silent, and sometimes they rang out one after another like a sea tide.

Fu Liqun: "Aren't these cicadas tired of screaming every day?"

Yu Hao said: "In the natural world, seeking a mate is a very difficult thing, let's consider other ethnic groups."

Both Fu Liqun and Zhou Sheng laughed. Yu Hao took Liang Jinmin's class and knew that as an animal, the two most important things in life are eating and courting. Sometimes eating is not as important as courting. They worked hard to build a beautiful nest, and the penguins searched for beautiful stones everywhere, all in order to woo the female and gain the affirmation of their sweetheart.

"What's the date today?" Fu Liqun said suddenly.

Zhou Sheng said casually: "School starts in a week, and tomorrow I have to go back to the academy to get the internship form."

Fu Liqun was silent for a moment, Yu Hao came out of the shower with his hair still wet, looking down at his phone to send text messages.

"Young Mistress is really a beauty." Fu Liqun looked at Yu Hao.

Yu Hao said: "Sister-in-law is the beauty."

Fu Liqun teased Yu Hao just like Zhou Sheng teased Cen Shan. He always liked to embarrass his boyfriend. Yu Hao glanced at Zhou Sheng to see how he planned to fight back against Fu Liqun. Then Zhou Sheng said sincerely: "Brother is too famous, Yu Hao counts." What beauty? Together, he and his sister-in-law are no more than a finger of brother Yangming, brother Yangming is the beauty!"

Yu Hao suddenly laughed uncontrollably, and Fu Liqun became furious: "Hey!"

Yu Hao and Zhou Sheng clapped their hands, laughing so hard that they couldn't take care of themselves. Fu Liqun was indeed very close to Li Yangming. Li Yangming also listened to Fu Liqun very much and relied on him wholeheartedly. But Fu Liqun obviously didn't mean that. He just wanted to take care of his roommate. .

Yu Hao had a private conversation with Li Yangming, the point was not whether Fu Liqun was straight or not, but that he had a girlfriend.You can do whatever you want without a girlfriend.Li Yangming assured Yu Hao that he had absolutely no other intentions, so Yu Hao no longer cared about it.

Fu Liqun drank beer and said, "Master, do you still remember your birthday two years ago?"

Zhou Sheng said: "Remember, we were not together at that time, thank you, brother."

Fu Liqun said: "You're welcome. That day I was thinking about what we would look like in two or three years. Unexpectedly, it passed in the blink of an eye. Brothers..." Fu Liqun sat up and thought for a while. Say, "I think we need to talk."

Yu Hao was not surprised, Zhou Sheng seemed to have expected this too, and said, "What? Brother, you are our best friend, please speak up if you have something to say."

Holding the empty beer can in his hand, Fu Liqun was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked Zhou Sheng, "Where do you want to intern this year? According to Xue Long's arrangement?"

Without thinking about it, Zhou Sheng said, "Impossible, he won't arrange normal internship work for us, and he will be offended."

Yu Hao: "What else can Xue Long do besides let us move bricks?"

Fu Liqun said "hmm" and asked again, "Looking for Kaikai?"

Zhou Sheng refused again: "I don't want to owe him favors. His internship positions are all academic and not suitable for us."

Yu Hao thought about finding Chen Yekai or Liang Jinmin and introducing them to an internship job, but this internship job is suitable for him, Yu Hao, not for active Zhou Sheng and Fu Liqun. If the direction of the internship is different from the direction of employment after graduation, It doesn't make sense either.

"What about you?" Fu Liqun said to Yu Hao, "Young Mistress, I feel more and more that you are a powerful guy."

Yu Hao said, "Let me first hear what you plan to do."

The best way to discuss this kind of thing is to talk to your parents, but Yu Hao is alone, so it is impossible for Zhou Sheng to tell his family that Zhou's mother mentioned it when she called Yu Hao last time, asking Zhou Sheng to enroll in a training class to learn fashion design ——Ever since she knew about Zhou Sheng's sexuality, she imagined him as a fashionable gay with raised orchid fingers, and she didn't know where this impression came from.Although Zhou Sheng has good aesthetics, he doesn't want to have anything to do with fashion.

Fu Liqun said: "I asked my dad, and my dad said that he would introduce me to a friend's company to work in logistics and administration."

Yu Hao knew that Fu Liqun would definitely not go.

"My mother told her daughter-in-law," Zhou Sheng said, "let me enroll in a sewing class and sit and embroider."

Fu Liqun burst out laughing, Zhou Sheng spread his hands helplessly.

"Learning fashion design is not bad." Yu Hao said, "It's just because you don't like it. Your mother's store is also doing very well, and she even opened an online store recently."

Zhou Sheng said: "Oh, my stepdad went to Shenzhen to buy goods, should I pack 99 for her at home and get free shipping? You can be a customer service and quarrel with customers. It's good for the family to open a small workshop."

Yu Hao thought to himself that it was indeed quite good... He once experienced that after graduating from high school, he ate his last meal without a second, and he quite understood a truth, how could it be possible for everyone in this world to live a glamorous, bright and successful life?It is not easy to be able to eat and support yourself.
