Chapter 1: Single

When the time in the lower right corner of the computer screen was displayed at six o'clock, Qin Zijin began to pack his things and prepare to get off work. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

When the clock hand on the wall of the room pointed to seven o'clock, Qin Zijin carried two small dishes bought from the vegetable market into the kitchen and began to cook.

At half past seven, the meal is cooked, and the food is eaten.

This is Qin Zijin's life, three points and one line, monotonous and boring, but not boring.

This is her first year in Shanghai, and she shares a master bedroom with her high school classmate Su Yang and her parents, and the other two rooms are also occupied by migrant workers from different cities, and the environment is a little cramped but quiet.

Life is as plain as water.

Through the windows, you can still see the bright lights outside, the hustle and bustle of the world, and the quiet in the room.

This is the bustle and loneliness of Shanghai.

There were only Qin Zijin and Su Yang in the room, and Su Yang's parents went to the supermarket, and they seemed quieter for a while.

Looking at Qin Zijin, who was sitting on the bed reading a novel at almost nine o'clock as usual, Su Yang endured and endured, and finally couldn't help but speak.

"Zijin, can I tell you a joke?"

"Well, okay, you can talk about it." Qin Zijin raised his eyes slightly, glanced at Su Yang, and then continued to focus on the novel.

"Once upon a time, the earthworm family of three had nothing to do at home and felt too bored, so the earthworm son cut himself into two pieces to play badminton, the earthworm mother thought it was a good idea, so she cut herself into four pieces to play mahjong, the earthworm father thought about it and cut himself into minced meat, the earthworm mother cried and said, 'Why are you so stupid, you will die if you cut it so hard!' Father Earthworm weakly said, 'All of a sudden, I want to play football--- and Father Earthworm died. ”

"------" Qin Zijin raised his head and looked at Su Yang as if he was looking at a neuropath.

"Ahem-" Su Yang coughed twice, a little embarrassed, "I just want to say, will you be so bored one day, you see that every day in addition to going to work, you go home to cook, wash clothes, and then read novels and sleep after washing, and repeat the cycle, life is so monotonous, won't it be boring?" I'm afraid you'll be bored to death by yourself one day. ”

"I'll just freeze to death by your sneering jokes."

"No, I'll be serious with you." Seeing that Qin Zijin was about to retract her gaze again, Su Yang quickly withdrew her mobile phone, "You read novels every day, be careful to see your eyes badly." ”

"Well, you have something serious to tell me." Qin Zijin opened his mouth, biting the three words "serious business" very hard, and looked at Su Yang with a smile.

"Don't look at me like that, I'm getting goosebumps!" Touching his arm exaggeratedly, Su Yang smiled shyly, "Zijin, you see that you don't have anything to do except go to work every day, and you don't like to go out on holidays, so you like to stay at home, which is not good." ”

"Yes, I know."

"Hey, that --- you're 24 this year, right?"

"Yes"

"Don't have a boyfriend either?"

"Right"

"You like to read and write, don't you?"

"------" Qin Zijin glanced at Su Yang deeply, and suddenly raised his lips and smiled, like the peach blossoms blooming on the branches in the warm and cold season of March, bright and generous, but with a little cold and cold that no one should enter.

Su Yang suddenly had a bad premonition.

"Qin Zijin, female, 168cm tall, weighing 50 kg, born in 90, 24 years old, single, engaged in administrative work, average monthly salary. Hobbies of reading, writing, listening to music, long-distance travel, no bad hobbies, good health, the requirements for the boy I like are very simple, to be taller than me, fat and inconspicuous, clean and generous, can not have long nails, hair that is longer than eyebrows, it is best not to smoke or drink, can have a common hobby with me, of course, the last one, to be in the same city as me. ”

"------" Su Yang's lips opened slightly, but he couldn't say a word.

"What's the matter, what's this expression, aren't you going to introduce me to a boyfriend? The information I said is comprehensive enough, and I must remember to say my request! ”

Qin Zijin's serious appearance made Su Yang hate the root of his teeth, but he was helpless, these requests didn't sound too much, who didn't ask for it, but she just felt that something was wrong.

"Seriously?"

Qin Zijin nodded, his expression serious: "It's more real than real gold." ”

"------" Su Yang was very entangled.

"Haha---" Looking at Su Yang as if he wanted to speak and stopped, Qin Zijin couldn't help laughing, he couldn't hold back his laughter, and laughed out loud.

"You're fooling me!" Su Yang was very indignant, "Eldest sister, I'm solving a lifelong problem for you, can you be serious!" ”

"I'm very serious, okay, this is the basic requirement for my other half in my mind, don't lie to you." Qin Zijin almost patted his chest and swore an oath.

"It's still a basic requirement, no wonder I don't have a boyfriend!" Su Yang gritted his teeth and glared at Qin Zijin fiercely.

Qin Zijin didn't care at all about this sentence that sounded a little hurtful, but instead smiled with crooked eyebrows: "It's like you have a boyfriend!" ”

"I ------"

Su Yang's appearance of wanting to speak made Qin Zijin squint slightly, but he didn't continue the topic, but ridiculed the other party: "Why are you so keen to introduce me to a boyfriend during this time, has someone bribed you?" ”

"You're beautiful! Also bribe me, you are a Nine Heavens Fairy descending to earth or a fragrant dumpling with golden light! Su Yang pursed his lips, and then muttered, "You can't be too picky, what if you end up being dazzled and no one can look down on you?" ”

"Then I'll become a monk!"

Su Yang was angry, and before he could speak, Qin Zijin had already begun to talk to himself.

"Well, no, now you still need a diploma to become a nun or a monk or something, the most basic is a bachelor's degree, my junior college is not enough, eh, do you want to take the college entrance exam, just in case."

Su Yang held his breath in his chest and almost fainted.

Qin Zijin smiled: "Don't worry, I'll finish laughing." You see when I've picked it, for unintentional people, I've never given them a chance, so there's no such thing as you said, I just don't think I ---- met the right person yet, that's all. ”

Su Yang no longer persecuted Qin Zijin and began to change the topic: "Forget it, when I'm worried about it, then let's go out shopping this weekend!" ”

"Shopping? Didn't we just go there last weekend? His gaze fell back on his mobile phone, and Qin Zijin opened his mouth casually, as if he was very puzzled.

Su Yang hated that iron could not become steel, and he had an urge to stroke his forehead: "Are you a woman, you don't like shopping?" ”

"Women still have to be able to cook, can you?"

"------" Su Yang was speechless, and simply began to play tricks, "Oh, how boring it is for you to stay at home every day, what a waste of time if you don't go out to see it!" ”

"Don't you still have to go out on Saturday morning to work part-time, and you still have to go out shopping, aren't you tired?" Qin Zijin opened his mouth lightly, without the slightest sign of letting go.

"Isn't there still Sunday, go ahead, go out, buy a few beautiful clothes when you see them, you see that your clothes are ugly, and you don't dress yourself up." Su Yang tried to impress Qin Zijin.

"I forgot to mention, our company has a new APP online, and someone needs to work 24 hours a day to act as a customer service, and I am one of them, working this weekend."

"Ahh Isn't it, such a bad dad, it's still 24 hours, so are you going to work the night shift? ”

"No, all the male colleagues are on the evening shift, so we go to the morning and middle shift."

"That's okay--- Su Yang's voice paused, and his voice unconsciously raised, "No, even if the company needs 24-hour customer service, doesn't your company have its own customer service, why did you ask to go?" ”

"Who called me an idle front desk, I don't look for anyone for this kind of thing."

With a slightly self-deprecating tone, Su Yang didn't know how to answer for a while, but fortunately, Qin Zijin didn't continue the topic, "So you better invite other friends to go, and we'll go next time." ”

"That's all there is to it."

The two people who ended the conversation, one continued to read a novel, and the other was watching his favorite TV show, and the atmosphere was quiet.

At this moment, Qin Zijin's phone rang, it was his mother.

"Mom"

"Zijin, have you eaten?"

"I've eaten it, it's all here, have you eaten it too?"

"Well, how is your work lately?"

"It's okay, there's nothing special, what's wrong?"

"Zijin, you're not too young, isn't it time to fall in love, tell your mother the truth, have you talked about a boyfriend outside?"

Qin Zijin was speechless for a while, and knew that there must be something wrong with his mother, who had never taken the initiative to call him, to contact him so late unusually.

"Nope."

"Those former junior high school classmates, high school classmates, are there any contacts?" Mother Qin asked unrelentingly.

"Nope."

"Why, why don't you get in touch?"

"Mom, when you were studying, you said that you can't fall in love early, every day you mention your life, how can we have this thought, now that everyone has graduated, each has its own life circle, there has been no contact for 800 years, who still remembers whom, still contacted, how sad it hurts, no, there is no emotion to hurt!"

"That's ------"

"Okay, Mom, I'm not an older young woman, what are you anxious about, I'm not in a hurry."

"Of course you're not in a hurry, when you're in a hurry, you'll be thirty or forty, who wants you then!"

"It's not that I can't support myself, so why do I have to be asked by others."

"Then you mean not to marry?"

"It's not what you said, if no one wants it, of course no one can marry!"

"Why do you think you are so worried about one or two, can't you let me and your dad save some snacks?"

"Oh, I said that there is no need to worry, it is not that some people in our company have run for three and have not married, who is still getting married so early, it was all before, and now it is different."

"How is it different, now you don't have to get married, you don't have to find a boyfriend!"

Qin Zijin was speechless for a while: "Forget it, I won't tell you this, it's useless to be anxious." ”

"I'm telling you, hurry up----"

Qin Zijin responded with uh-huh, but he didn't agree with his mother's opinion in his heart, but he couldn't explain this kind of thing for a while.

Finally hung up the phone, and when he saw Su Yang, who was originally watching the video, looking at him with a wicked smile, Qin Zijin was startled.

"What's the matter, is Auntie urging you to find a boyfriend?" Su Yang squeezed his eyebrows at Qin Zijin, his eyes were like a cat catching a mouse in the dark, triumphant, and the green light was shining.

"No, my mom agreed to let me become a monk."

"Huh?" After a short silence, a sharp shout broke the quiet night, "Qin Zijin, you are playing me again!" ”

The person who was yelled at looked calm: "No, I said it's not in a hurry, if you really can't find a boyfriend and can't marry, you will go to the monk." ”

"------" Su Yang was completely speechless, and held back a sentence for a long time, "Why don't you become a monk now?" ”

"Because I'm still looking for a boyfriend."

"Then why don't you have a boyfriend?"

"Because I'm single."

"Why single?"

"Because I don't have a boyfriend."

“------”

Su Yang died at the age of 24.
