Chapter 13: The so-called being broken up
There weren't many people who came, so when they got to the place, they were free to move around.
Hua Ruiming was carrying a big mountaineering bag, which was originally going to climb the mountain, and Qi Min had no problem wearing light clothes. Chen Linyou and Wang Xin didn't expect that Songshan Forest Park was really similar to a forest park similar to the "deep mountains and old forests", and they couldn't help but feel difficult when they looked at the distant trails.
Sure enough, after passing through two streams, Wang Xin couldn't walk. She thought everyone was out to visit the park, so she also wore a pair of cute candy-colored canvas sneakers, and now she only regrets why she didn't wear sneakers, even if they are ugly.
Qi Min saw that Wang Xin's shoes were not suitable, so he said to Hua Ruiming and Chen Linyou: "Why don't you two boys go first, let's go slowly." ”
Chen Linyou knew that she was just to accompany Wang Xin, so he said: "Senior sister, I can't go fast, it's better for you to follow Hua ...... Senior brother, let's go first. ”
He is actually more amazing than Wang Xin, and he actually wore a pair of sandals when he went to Forest Park, but it was only because the boy had a physical advantage that he was not left behind by Hua Ruiming and Qi Min.
Qi Min saw that he was wearing sandals, and it would not be safe to follow Hua Ruiming into the forest, so he agreed: "Okay, you two pay attention to safety, and apply some flower water." ”
She took out the toilet water from her backpack and left it for Chen Linyou and Wang Xin, and then followed Hua Ruiming forward.
——
Without Wang Xin chattering, Qi Min felt a little quiet around him, and unconsciously chatted with Hua Ruiming. It happened that this was a social event, and Hua Ruiming took advantage of this topic to talk about things in school.
Compared with the science majors that are not too strong, the applied majors such as mechanics and medicine in the University of Science and Technology are actually ranked well, while Hua Ruiming is a bachelor's degree in the Department of Medicine of the University of Technology, but he left the clinic and chose to do scientific research, and he is already in the third year this year.
Doing scientific research is actually very tiring, and this tiredness is not only the fatigue of doing experiments for N hours in a row, but also the mental tiredness of people's time arrangements being dominated by experiments. There are no weekends, no winter and summer vacations, and even statutory holidays have to go to the laboratory. In case there is a time-consuming experiment, it is impossible to eat lunch from morning to afternoon. And if you want to post an article, you have no time to take care of anything else day and night, and you don't even bother to reply to WeChat. Basically, not many outsiders can stand their boyfriends and girlfriends like this, so many people who do scientific research will choose to solve it internally.
However, there is a characteristic of Zhonggong University, because it is a strong engineering school, so there are still more male students than female students in the school. In order to solve the rigid needs of people in their departments to find partners, science and engineering departments with a large number of male students will generally take the initiative to hold social activities with departments with more female students, just like the biology department with more male students will go to the medical department with more female students. This also leads to the fact that even if there are more girls in some departments, those girls will have more opportunities to meet boys from other departments, and the choice has become wider, which makes it difficult for boys in these departments to find girlfriends.
Hearing Hua Ruiming say this, Qi Min asked with some curiosity: "So as a male student in the medical department, have you found a girlfriend?" ”
"It's not ...... Not yet, alas. Hua Ruiming sighed helplessly, "I'm busy doing experiments all day long, how can I have time to find a subject." ”
"You're not too busy this semester, you still have time to play on Saturdays." Qi Min said with a smile.
"That's just as well. In fact, I am almost done with this project, and now I am waiting for the results of our laboratory screening. Hua Ruiming is still quite confident when he talks about his research direction, "Basically, this matter can be finished next semester, and then it is time to write articles and submit articles." ”
Qi Min thought that writing an article and submitting an article was the most painful, but at this time, don't pour cold water on people.
"Then it's the right time to find a girlfriend." She said jokingly.
Hua Ruiming didn't take this stubble, but asked rhetorically: "Hmm...... By the way, do you have a boyfriend? ”
"What ...... me" Qi Min was a little entangled, she couldn't figure out whether she had a boyfriend or not.
Probably because of anger, Anton threw her things out of the apartment at that time, but at that time, Qi Min was busy graduating and didn't have time to take care of it, and then it seemed that Anton had broken up with her unilaterally.
To be honest, Qi Min is quite sorry for Anton. Let's not talk about anything else, just talk about money, Qi Min's salary for a doctorate is not much, although it is to make money together to support the family, but this proportion can be imagined. And in addition to financial support, it was Anton who always took Mimi to work with him, and also sent lunch and dinner to Qi Min by the way. And Qi Min came home late when she was busy with experiments, so it can be said that she basically didn't worry about anything at home. is a nanny who includes three meals a day and housework, and it costs thousands of yuan a month in China, and Anton works for free without vacation and pays her back, which makes Qi Min feel ashamed.
She is embarrassed to say that she doesn't have a boyfriend now, but objectively she seems to have been broken up, and after hesitating for a while, she can only say: "My situation is more complicated." ”
"What's complicated?" Hua Ruiming asked.
"That's it...... I should be considered 'broken up', but I haven't officially broken up, and there are still places that can't be broken. Qi Min replied.
In order to get the social welfare of a single mother, Mimi is in Qi Min's name, which means that she is legally Qi Min's daughter and has nothing to do with Anton. Therefore, Qi Min can't be cut off with Anton, at least there is the issue of Mimi's custody. And she thinks it's best to bring Mimi back to China, Mimi is originally Asian, and Anton's example has proved that Asian-mixed race is probably not going to be easy in the racist environment of the United States.
However, for Hua Ruiming, who doesn't know these insiders, the so-called "being broken up" is already very surprising: "'Broken up'? How did you 'get broken up'? ”
"It's more complicated." Qi Min waved his hand and said, "It's not a good thing, you still don't know well." ”
"It's all 'broken up', what else can't be broken?" Hua Ruiming asked rhetorically.
"It's not that simple." Qi Min just smiled, "Sometimes it's tiring to fall in love." ”
"In that case, don't look for a partner at all." Hua Ruiming joked, "It's not enough to be tired just to engage in scientific research." ”
"But if you're looking for a partner, it's best to find it when you're doing a PhD." Qi Min also joked, "The salary of doctoral students is so low, so you can be sure that the other party is definitely not trying to get your money." ”
