Although it had been more than a week since the beginning of spring, it still got dark early. When Qu Sen and the other two walked into the supermarket, it was still bright outside. When they came out, it was already dark.
"You look like a thief," Zhou Li whispered as they walked out of the supermarket's staff passageway. Qu Sen came back to his senses.
"What do you mean by 'like a thief'?" Qu Sen thought Zhou Li was talking about him, so he asked curiously.
"Behind you." Zhou Li signaled with his eyes.
Qu Sen looked back and saw a young man in a thick suit standing in the shadow of the small door of the staff passageway. He looked like a decent young man. He turned around and asked Zhou Li, "What did he do to offend you?"
"You don't recognize him?" Zhou Li glanced at Qu Sen.
Qu Sen turned around again to see who the man was. But when he looked back, the man had already walked in the opposite direction. His footsteps were quite hurried. He asked confusedly, "Who is he?"
"That's Boss Zhu's secretary."
"Which Boss Zhu?" Qu Sen didn't react for a moment.
"Hey, are you pretending?"
"Ah, I remember now. The Boss Zhu with the scar on his head? Is this his secretary? "
"Of course!"
Although he didn't pay attention to the man's face, when Zhou Li mentioned Qu Sen, he recognized the man.
When Boss Zhu came to school to apologize that day, he was quite high-profile. Benz was sitting beside him, and there were two secretaries, one male and one female, with him. But at that time, Qu Sen's attention was all on Boss Zhu. The female secretary was good-looking, so Qu Sen glanced at her. As for the male secretary, Qu Sen didn't have a problem with his sexual orientation. Who would look at him?
Therefore, even if Qu Sen had paid attention to the man's appearance, he wouldn't have been able to recognize him.
Qu Sen wasn't the only one who didn't recognize him. Secretary Wang also didn't recognize Zhou Li and Qu Sen who walked past him. After all, the two of them were wearing military uniforms that day. Their appearances were too different from their casual clothes today.
Besides, it had been a few months since they last met. If they didn't have any obvious characteristics, how many of them could be recognized like Lady Zhou's memory?
Although it was already dark, it was still early before the roll call. The three of them were not in a hurry. They strolled around the pedestrian street for a while, looked at the small shops on the street, and ate some snacks. They wandered around until almost eight o 'clock before returning to the supermarket.
After retrieving the items from the storage box, he waited at the entrance of the pedestrian street for a long time before he finally managed to hail a taxi. On the way back, Qu Sen looked at his watch. It was already half past eight. After calculating the time, he estimated that he would have to run back to the dorm as fast as he could to make it in time for roll call.
"Don't look. It's Chinese New Year. It's fine to go back a little later. If not, I'll call the person on duty." Zhou Li could tell that Qu Sen was a little anxious. Although his words were comforting, his tone was full of impatience.
"It's fine. It's fine if it's a little later," Li Ying also said.
Qu Sen thought about it and agreed. Since the winter break, other than the Academic Affairs Office occasionally sending people to the advanced course to check on the situation, the management could be said to be very lax. There were often people playing games in the computer room. When they lost track of time and missed roll call, no one said anything.
Besides, the students all knew that whenever Qu Sen went out, he was usually with Zhou Li. Therefore, no one would gossip if he went back at night for a while.
Ever since the unexpected disaster after the final exam, Qu Sen realized that he should really improve the relationship between him and his comrades.
In the past, he was too stressed and only focused on revising. Other than a few people in the dorm, he had too little contact with other students. If you didn't have enough contact, people wouldn't understand you. Under these circumstances, whenever Qu Sen did something that no one could understand, gossip and speculation would naturally appear.
It was actually quite simple to have a good relationship with a male student. Other than hanging out to drink and eat, the other thing was to play games together.
After the break, Qu Sen spent every day in the computer room with the nursing students. He didn't have to do anything special and quickly became familiar with everyone.
Even if he went to Professor Wu's office every Sunday, after roll call every night, he would consciously complain that Zhou Li was forcing him to do work all day and that he couldn't even play games. Sometimes, he would even take out the motherboard blueprints that he had designed with Zhou Li and Li Ying. He was still constantly improving them.
Although the students didn't study hardware design, they still had some knowledge about it. Since they weren't in a hurry to sleep, they gathered together to discuss it. Some of them even helped to come up with ideas.
Whether the ideas were useful or not aside, Qu Sen used this method to tell everyone what he was doing every day. It was to prevent rumors from spreading if he didn't speak for a long time.
Through intentional and unintentional management, Qu Sen was now very popular among the nursing students. When eating and smoking, he no longer only hung out with Gao Bo and Ke Lan. His circle of friends had expanded a lot.
Qu Sen was no longer in a hurry. He sat in the taxi and watched the scenery outside gradually recede.
The taxi quickly turned into Qifeng Street. This street was where Qu Sen and Zhou Li started to get wet on the day of the registration. If they drove a little further, they would reach the edge of the city.
After Qifeng Street, the road out of the city became much narrower. In addition, the snow wasn't removed in time. Since the beginning of winter this year, the snow had been piled up layer after layer. It melted during the day and quickly froze when the sun went down. The road reflected the street lights, and it was as smooth as a skating rink.
When Qu Sen and the other two took the taxi to this section of the road, they realized that it wasn't a skating rink in front of them, but a "skating rink". A large number of suburban and rural residents who went to the city to buy New Year's goods started to go home around this time.
Nowadays, many people in the countryside would run small businesses during their slack time. Although there weren't many people who bought a good car after earning more money, many people chose to buy a small car as a tool.
Even if they didn't have a car at home, they didn't care about spending a few yuan more. When the temperature dropped a lot at night, most people chose to take a taxi home.
The result of the rush hour and the icy road was needless to say. The moment they left Qifeng Street, the road was completely blocked. The road was too narrow, and there was a thick layer of ice on it. Lighter vehicles couldn't stop at all on this kind of road, so small collisions happened a few times in a very short period of time.
This time, Qu Sen and the other two's road back to school was not blocked, but they couldn't move at all.
When the taxi driver realized that there was a big traffic jam behind them, it was too late for him to take the lead, so he started to complain. He said that the job of taking Qu Sen and the other two was enough to make several trips in the city, and it was completely lost tonight.
Qu Sen was already a little annoyed when he saw the traffic jam. It was fine if the taxi driver complained a little, but he was annoyed when he kept nagging.
However, he understood how the taxi driver felt at the moment. After all, it was almost the New Year, and they were still strolling on the road all day. Wasn't it just to make more money?
He thought about it and took out 50 yuan from his wallet. He put it on the dashboard and said to the driver, "Sir, take us to the place. This 50 yuan is the fare. If you don't want to take us, give us the change now. We'll go down and find another car. "
Although this was the provincial capital, taxis didn't have to stop and wait like in Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou.
The taxi driver looked at the meter and saw that the starting fee had only increased by 2 yuan. He then looked around and saw that the traffic was so tight that there was nowhere to turn even if he wanted to. He wisely shut his mouth and put the 50 yuan on the dashboard into his wallet.
The traffic jam continued. After half an hour, the taxi only moved a few dozen meters. Outside, there were a few car owners arguing non-stop. They were even speaking in the local dialect, and they were talking fast and anxiously. Qu Sen couldn't understand them, so he felt particularly annoyed.
Qu Sen was annoyed, and so was the taxi driver. He couldn't help but start nagging again. Perhaps it was because nagging alone wasn't enough to vent his dissatisfaction, so he started to curse. He used the dialect to say that he was unlucky and took the job.
In the beginning, Qu Sen only used words to persuade the driver. This place was in the middle of nowhere, and the traffic was so bad. Where would they find another car after they got off?
If Qu Sen was alone, he could still walk back to school. However, there were still Zhou Li and Li Ying, as well as a bunch of bags behind him. If it wasn't necessary, he wouldn't give up on the taxi and walk back in the dark.
Therefore, even though the driver's nagging was annoying, Qu Sen didn't say anything. He sat in the front passenger seat and suppressed his anger.
In fact, it wasn't just the people in Qu Sen's car who were annoyed. Everyone in the traffic jam was annoyed. After a few minutes, a passenger in a buggy on the right front of the taxi finally couldn't take it anymore. Perhaps it was because his home wasn't far away, he paid the fare and walked forward.
After the passenger left, the driver of the buggy saw that he couldn't move because of the traffic jam. He simply took a short crowbar that was less than a meter long and got off the car to poke the icicles hanging on the chassis.
With the help of the lights behind them, Qu Sen saw the driver's face. Qu Sen was happy. He turned around and said to the driver, "Give us the change, let's get off."
If the driver didn't start cursing, Qu Sen wouldn't have asked him to give them the change. After all, they were stuck in the traffic jam for so long that it delayed the driver from earning money. However, the driver knew Qu Sen and the other two's destination. From their accent, he knew that they weren't locals. He thought that they didn't understand the local language, so he kept on cursing.
Zhou Li and Li Ying, who were sitting in the back, didn't understand. However, Qu Sen, who had been with Gao Bo for a long time, understood. Therefore, he thought to himself, 'Aren't you good at scolding?
Since you've already vented your anger by scolding people, there's no need to earn money. '
The driver didn't care when Qu Sen wanted to get off the car. However, when he heard that Qu Sen asked for change, he started to argue with Qu Sen in Mandarin with a heavy accent.
Qu Sen didn't listen to what the driver was saying at all. He used a dialect that he learned from Gao Bo and said, "Do you think I don't understand what you're saying?"
