Never be a bully again
Work related
After all, to Tao Jing who has been in the fan circle for many years, these unorganized and undisciplined little scums are nothing but loose sand in front of her.
Xue Mu was overjoyed. She fulfilled her promise and turned Tao Jing into a full-time member in advance, and authorized her to be responsible for fan maintenance. She also raised her salary accordingly. Be joyous.
Seeing Xue Mu's honesty and generosity, the others became more determined to follow him and work together. They signed equity incentive agreements with the company one after another, willingly compromised some immediate interests, and made up their minds to work together to make a fortune.
But among these people, Xie Jiangtao became an exception.
At the beginning of March, Xie Jiangtao suddenly brought news about the admissions of National Taiwan University, saying that dozens of universities in Taiwan have unitedly recruited graduate students from the mainland. You need to apply for an application and submit materials. After you are admitted, you can go to study directly. After graduation, you can get a master's degree certified by the Ministry of Education. It is a beautiful thing.
After hearing this, several fresh interns in the team were a little eager to move. They gathered together for a long time to discuss how to apply and what materials to prepare. While chatting, they began to imagine the happy life in Taiwan, causing a lot of trouble in the office. People panic.
But in the end, everyone carefully studied the enrollment brochures, only to find that although the application sounds easy, the enrollment restrictions are very complicated. The source of students is only limited to Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and min. Only Xie Jiangtao met the application requirements.
Xue Mu was noncommittal about Xie Jiangtao's desire to continue studying. Originally, Xie Jiangtao's presence by Wan Chaoyang's side had always made him a little uneasy. Now that he wanted to leave on his own initiative, he naturally had no reason to keep him.
Wan Chaoyang was very reluctant to part with him, finally met again, regained the tacit understanding many years ago, and wanted to make a fortune together, but now he runs away as soon as he says he wants to, which makes him feel a little frustrated that his plans have been disrupted for a while. But in the final analysis, it was his own business after all, no matter how unwilling he was, he couldn't say much, so he could only silently indulge him to ask for leave repeatedly to prepare for the application.
Although Xie Jiangtao devoted a lot of energy to going out, it did not affect SUN's program production. The program was steadily produced and released one by one, and the number of fans increased steadily for each issue. Advertisers also began to name and ask SUN to make videos, and even Others have come up with the idea of title sponsorship.
Halfway through the semester, both Xue Mu and Wan Chaoyang successfully completed the assessment and defense of their graduation thesis, and the school affairs only remained to obtain certificates and leave school, and more energy could be put on work, even though the business volume was the original It was more than several times, but with the cooperation of the team, it was handled with ease. At first, I was worried that the second phase of the registered capital would be in deficit before the full payment, but I didn't expect that it would be a surplus in just a few months.
It’s just that Xie Jiangtao’s dream of studying in graduate school was quietly shattered. In May, when the admissions list was announced, none of the five universities Xie Jiangtao applied for was selected, so he had to return to Hongri honestly and continue to work. As for the matter, some families are happy and some are sad in silence.
In June, they went back to school to take their degree photos, received their graduation certificates, and transferred their file relationships. Xue Mu and Wan Chaoyang finally graduated from the University of Law and officially joined the Red Sun. There is no longer the status of a student.
Although practically speaking, the work the two of them do is still the same as before, and they have basically not returned to school this semester, and there is no special feeling if they do not graduate, but after all, it is the end of a life stage. The classmates at the school ate a breakup meal, and bid farewell to the colleagues who were addicted to the e-sports club according to the law. When they returned to the city, Wan Chaoyang still felt that this tone was not vented, so he offered to ask Zheng Daqian to save another game and bid farewell together Look at the last student days.
Xue Mu saw that Wan Chaoyang was so thoughtful, so he contacted Zheng Daqian and asked him and Xin Ke to go to Huairou together on the weekend, as a small graduation trip, but Zheng Daqian said that the summer vacation was over, and Xin Ke had already returned to Nanjing He himself was too busy, so he turned down Xue Mu's invitation because of this.
Xue Mu sensed something sensitively from Zheng Daqian's strange tone. Xin Ke had said before that he didn't plan to go to graduate school but to work directly, so why didn't he hurry up to practice during the summer vacation of his junior year?Under his repeated questioning, Zheng Daqian finally confessed that the two had actually quarreled and are currently engaged in a cold war.
"Why are you arguing?"
"Because... I'm going to Taiwan to study in graduate school..."
When Xue Mu heard this answer, he didn't even care about going to work or graduating. He picked up Wan Chaoyang and ran to Gongti. He waited downstairs in Zheng Daqian's company for a long time before rushing into his office. Only then did Zheng Daqian come out with a face full of embarrassment, and took the two of them into Starbucks.
"What do you mean? What's going on? Why are you going to Taiwan all of a sudden? Which university? How long will you study for? When will you leave?"
Zheng Daqian was embarrassed by Xue Mu's series of questions, Wan Chaoyang quickly pulled Xue Mu's arm, and said to Zheng Daqian: "Don't worry, speak slowly."
Zheng Daqian picked up the coffee, took a sip slowly, sighed, and said, "Well... the school I went to was called National Chung Cheng University, and normally I leave at the end of August and early September, the time... probably one to two years ..."
"One to two years?! Is it one year or two years?! Why did you suddenly decide to go to Taiwan to study in graduate school?" Xue Mu asked.
"Tsk..." Wan Chaoyang tugged at Xue Mu, frowned and said, "Let Da Qianer speak for himself..."
Zheng Daqian nodded gratefully to Wan Chaoyang, took another sip of coffee, and replied: "Generally speaking, it is one year, but there are also those who are slow in credits or fail to meet the graduation threshold. There are also those who come back... If I go well, I will come back in a year."
"You──" Xue Mugang was about to speak, but Wan Chaoyang stopped him by shaking his hand forcefully, and continued, "You didn't tell us about your going to Taiwan, did you tell Xiao Xin?"
Zheng Daqian pursed his lips and shook his head silently.
"You can really—"
Before Xue Mu finished speaking, Wan Chaoyang suddenly pulled him up by his arm and pulled him aside. He was confused for a while, and asked in confusion, "Why?"
"What are you doing?" Wan Chaoyang frowned, "Are you interrogating the prisoner?"
Xue Mu was dumbfounded when asked: "What?"
"Big Qian'er quarreled with Xiao Xin, and he's feeling uncomfortable, and you still keep questioning him in this tone?" Wan Chaoyang's expression was terribly serious, "I'm usually a careful person, why don't you pay attention to other people's feelings at critical times? Why don't you Just listen honestly and don't talk, or stay calm and calm at the top, and I'll report it to you when I finish chatting with Da Qianer!"
Xue Mu was stupefied by Wan Chaoyang's training, and then turned to look at Zheng Daqian, who looked very embarrassed. He was taken aback, and then realized that he was careless, and his tone just now was really bad. He looked at Wan Chaoyang in front of him again, really I didn't expect that there would be a day when I was accused by him of communicating with others. I couldn't believe that this was the second-year boy who couldn't speak a whole sentence in front of outsiders.
"Okay, okay..." Xue Mu pouted and nodded, "You ask, he said, I won't talk."
When the two returned to their seats, Wan Chaoyang glanced at Xue Mu, then turned to Zheng Daqian and asked, "Didn't you already decide to work before? After practicing for so long, why did you change your mind and go to Taiwan?" "
Zheng Daqian dodged his eyes, looked down at the cup in his hand, and mumbled: "Just... I have been in class for more than half a year... I feel quite annoying... It's not as easy as going to school... I didn't know about this, but I didn't know it last time. I complained to Xie Jiangtao that I only knew about it, and then... just applied for it..."
Xue Mu wanted to cry when he heard this, but he never expected that Zheng Daqian's heart grew because of his casual complaints. Make fun of Jiang Tao!"
"Tsk," Xue Mu glared back at Wan Chaoyang, "I'll talk about that later!"
Wan Chaoyang pursed his lips, and asked Zheng Daqian again: "Then you have this idea, why didn't you tell us, didn't you tell Xiao Xin?"
"I'll just apply just like that..." Zheng Daqian's expression became more and more helpless, "There are so many schools, so many restrictions, some require a professor's recommendation letter, and some require a school grade ranking, so I just found the one with the least requirements, what? I didn’t even need to prepare, I just applied casually, thinking that if I can get in, I’ll get in, if I can’t, I’ll be down, I didn’t expect... I didn’t expect to be recorded..."
Wan Chaoyang was stunned when he heard this, and asked back: "Didn't expect it to be recorded? You didn't expect to be recorded, why did you apply?"
This was exactly what Xue Mu wanted to ask. He felt that the two had a good understanding, and excitedly squeezed Wan Chaoyang's hand, then stared at Zheng Daqian and waited for his answer, but Zheng Daqian just lowered his eyes and did not answer.
"Then you decided to go after recording it? Have you told Xiao Xin? What did he say?" Wan Chaoyang asked again.
"He...he's very angry..." Zheng Daqian lowered his head as he talked, "I don't think I think about our future... I don't have him in my heart..."
"Hmph..." Xue Mu couldn't help but snorted coldly, staring at Zheng Daqian with a look of hatred for iron.
Wan Chaoyang was silent for a moment, then said, "So what's your explanation?"
"Isn't it just going to Taiwan for a year..." Zheng Daqian murmured, "I have already graduated, and my family will be urging me to get married soon. This year can also avoid this problem. After a year, we will both be married." After graduating, I have a master's degree and the other has a bachelor's degree, and then we will work together and come out together in the future, what's the matter... If our relationship can't even stand the test of a year away, then what's the value."
Wan Chaoyang sighed deeply, and said, "Okay, don't ask me a question and answer it like squeezing toothpaste, just talk, how did we talk afterwards?"
Zheng Daqian also sighed, and said: "Anyway, my idea is quite simple, that's it. He thought I didn't consider his feelings, and said that I used such a year's long distance to test our relationship. After passing the test, there was a problem, and I was asked if I would regret it, and I said... no."
Xue Mu gasped in shock: "No way?!"
"That's not what I meant," Zheng Daqian said helplessly, "It's inevitable that people will have regrets in their lifetime, but what's the use of regrets? I never regret it. No matter how much I suffer because of something or someone. No matter how many sins I have committed, I will not regret it because of this incident. I live my life, and what is lost is always gained, right? Just thinking about those sufferings and sins, why don’t you think about other happiness? You can't go back to the past if you regret it, and you will regret it in the future if you go back to the past and make other decisions──So I said I won't regret it... But anyway, he was even angrier when he heard it..."
"Anyone will be angry!" Wan Chaoyang was actually a little angry, "No matter how reasonable you are, you can't say such things to your partner! What's more, it's your fault first!"
"Why did I make a mistake?" Zheng Daqian couldn't help but speak back, "My own life, can I even go for a master's degree if I want to?"
"Of course you are single!" Wan Chaoyang frowned, "But don't forget that you have a boyfriend who has been dating for two and a half years! If Xiao Xin suddenly tells you that he will return to Nanjing immediately and never come again What do you think about Beijing?"
"He loves to come back or not!" Zheng Daqian said angrily, "If he really decides that way, I will definitely not stop him! If the relationship can be maintained, then we can maintain it, and if we can't, we will pull it down! What about the future of the two of us? We have been in love for two and a half years No one dares to tell the family, even dare to discuss this topic, it is a matter of no future!"
Both Wan Chaoyang and Xue Mu were startled by Zheng Daqian's words, and they were speechless for a while before Wan Chaoyang asked, "You mean... you want to break up?"
"I didn't say we broke up," Zheng Daqian pouted, "Isn't this the end of the conversation?"
Xue Mu was so angry with Zheng Daqian that he couldn't speak, but Wan Chaoyang thought for a long time and asked, "You two are arguing like this now, do you need us to help you make peace?"
After hearing this, Zheng Daqian raised his eyes to look at Wan Chaoyang, unable to make up his mind for a moment.
"Although it is clear to the onlookers, it is still difficult to decide on housework..." Wan Chaoyang continued, "If you still want to maintain the relationship between the two of you, we can help you. It's a matter of course. If you don't want us to get involved... ...We'll just pretend we don't know, and communicate with you yourself."
Zheng Daqian picked up the coffee and brought it to his mouth, rolled his eyes anxiously for a while, finally put down the cup, and said in a deep voice, "Forget it...Let's solve it by ourselves..."
Xue Mu sighed deeply, and buried his face in his palms, Wan Chaoyang reluctantly took a sip from the cup, and then put it down heavily: "You can do it yourself."
Question [-] I know you'll be my cover when I'm a deserter
When it was time to get off work, Xin Ke stretched his waist at the work station, and heard some colleagues around him discussing where to go for a date at night, some discussing what movie to show today, and some discussing when they will work overtime. .
"Xiao Xin, go back," Jiang Tong's voice came from sitting in the cubicle opposite, "Don't worry about the script, you can get it out within this week, don't work overtime every day as soon as you are an intern, your boyfriend should be unhappy gone."
Xin Ke laughed awkwardly, got up and stretched his waist, and said, "Then I'll go first."
"Well, see you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow, sister Tong."
Xin Ke walked into the elevator room with his bag on his back, and exchanged polite greetings with the colleagues he met by chance. The elevator door opened on the first floor, and the scattered crowd quickly merged into a more turbulent crowd. Xin Ke walked out of the building. In the evening, the sultry wind was blowing in his face, and he was standing by the side of the flowing road, a little at a loss.
The 31st floor of the opposite building is Zheng Daqian's company. It seems that it is only a few steps away, but if you really want to go there, you have to go around the overpass at the east end of the road, and then turn back. At least ten minutes.
He raised his eyes to look at the densely packed windows of the high-rise building, but couldn't tell which one would have Zheng Daqian in it.
When preparing for the final final exam a month ago, he fantasized that after the summer vacation began, Zheng Daqian would officially graduate, he would also start an internship, and the two of them should start renting a house together, and live in a serious couple like Xue Muwan Chaoyang. Days passed, but he didn't expect that when the exam was over, when he was excitedly showing Zheng Daqian the house he wanted, he got the news that Zheng Daqian would go to Taiwan to study for graduate school in two months.
Xin Ke couldn't accept this sudden change. He really couldn't understand why Zheng Daqian made such a decision suddenly, and deliberately concealed it from him. From the online application in March, to the announcement of the admission result in May, until he handed in I told him the truth after I paid my tuition and got my visa.
Although Zheng Daqian took out reasons to avoid family urging marriage for a year, did not tell him before because he was afraid of affecting his final exam, etc., Xin Ke still could not believe his statement.
Xin Ke never doubted Zheng Daqian's feelings for him, although when Ouyang Ye suddenly appeared, he also saw Zheng Daqian's embarrassment and uneasiness, and felt that his affection for him was not over, but that had passed after all For a year and a half, the word "Ouyang Ye" never appeared in their lives again. In his opinion, such a pseudo-ex who had never even had a successful relationship could not become a threat to their relationship. .
But if it wasn't for Ouyang Ye's reason, Xin Ke really couldn't think of any reason why Zheng Daqian decided to abandon him so selfishly and go to Taiwan to study alone. During the quarrel, he repeatedly questioned Zheng Daqian's motives and The decision finally forced Zheng Daqian to say the words that "there is no future".
Xin Ke was so choked by Zheng Daqian's words that he couldn't reply anymore. He knew that compared with Xue Mu and Wan Chaoyang, both he and Zheng Daqian were a bit immature, even though Xue Mu was the same age as him, only older than him. He is two months older, but his behavior is obviously the most mature among them, and as the youngest, he is also a grade lower than them, so naturally he has become the most immature and lightest among them one.
His vision of the future has always been vague and simple. Engage in the media industry he likes, be a nine-to-five office worker, may have to travel, may have to work overtime, busy and fulfilling, and enjoy it with Zheng Daqian in his spare time A leisurely two-person world, eat, sleep, go shopping, exercise and play games together, and you can invite other friends to party and go out together on weekends and long holidays. Simple and romantic, ordinary and warm.
But when Zheng Daqian mentioned that he would face the problem of family urging marriage after graduation, he realized for the first time that he thought about the future too easily. His parents in Nanjing had already prepared a house for him. Not to mention getting married, I am afraid that he will be expected to go back to his hometown for employment, and he is 21 years old this year, but he has never thought clearly about how to come out to his family.
He sat on the edge of the flower bed at the entrance of the building for a long time, until the sunset gradually dyed the sky red, and he was bitten by mosquitoes on his calf several times. Then he came back to his senses, took out his mobile phone and sent Zheng Daqian a WeChat message: get off work Yet?
Zheng Daqian had just clicked send on the last email, and was about to sort out the priorities of the work to be completed in the memo, when he suddenly received Xin Ke's WeChat, he couldn't help being stunned, he looked at the time, hesitated for a moment, and replied: : Down.
Xin Ke looked up blankly at the tall building in front of him, felt the phone vibrate, looked down to see Zheng Daqian's reply, and replied: "We're downstairs, let's have dinner together."
─ ─ good.
Zheng Daqian walked out of the building and saw Xin Ke standing in the crowd from a distance. The golden light of the setting sun shone on his face. His tall figure and gentle smile shone like the sun among the tired and gloomy crowd. In that carefree smile, you can still see a trace of loss that cannot be erased.
"What to eat?" Zheng Daqian walked up to Xin Ke and asked naturally, as if the previous quarrel and cold war had never happened.
"Let's eat that Thai food," Xin Ke replied with a smile, "I haven't eaten curry for a long time, and I want to drink Tom Yum Kung soup."
"Okay."
The two walked side by side on the road, and the elongated silhouette of the setting sun became more and more slender. People passing by all cast their eyes on these two tall and handsome guys, but they were already used to this kind of staring ceremony, and they laughed and complained indifferently. Looking at the boss and customers, just like Xin Ke imagined their future appearance, warm and calm.
This Thai restaurant was also the first restaurant that Zheng Daqian took Xin Ke to eat when he first came to practice. Although Xin Ke has a light taste and has always disliked the hot and sour taste of Southeast Asian cuisine, he has a good impression of this restaurant because of Zheng Daqian. Special favor.
Although both of them are about 1.8 meters tall, they don't eat much. However, after ordering three or four dishes, there is still a lot left on each plate.
"Are you going back to the dormitory today? Or you can just sleep in my place and go watch a movie later. There's a new movie that's not bad. Pacific Rim, our company also voted."
Zheng Daqian can no longer live in a dormitory after graduating from school, but he will go to Taiwan at the end of August, and it is not convenient to find a house to rent. It happens that the owner’s leased house contract expires, so he temporarily rents it to him at a low price for two months. Zheng Daqian It can be regarded as a big bargain, so I have to put in more effort in my work.
"Okay," Xin Ke took a sip of milk tea and said with a smile, "Why don't I go back to the dormitory for two months and stay with you, or wait for you to leave, so long I can't see you."
The smile on Zheng Daqian's face froze, and he lowered his eyes a little embarrassedly. He knew that this meeting after the Cold War would inevitably involve talking about this matter, and he also knew in his heart that in the final analysis, he was still sorry for Xin Ke.
"I've thought about it for the past two days, and what you said is actually right," Xin Ke started the topic naturally, "You were originally a year older than me, and it wasn't obvious when you were in school, but it's different now."
He reached out to pick up Zheng Daqian's bowl, and said while serving him soup, "You have already graduated to work, and the winter and summer vacations are gone, and you may not be able to work overtime at ordinary times. You are working hard to make money every day. Big, even if I have started an internship, I am different from you after all. The people I meet every day do different things, and I will gradually have nothing to talk to, and maybe my relationship will also be affected. If you go to another year It’s pretty good for us to join the new year together when we come back, and I don’t feel like I’m a year younger than you.”
After Xin Ke finished speaking, he brought a bowl of soup to Zheng Daqian, smiled slightly and said, "So I support you, you go, I'll wait for you here."
Zheng Daqian stared blankly at Xin Ke's smile, unable to speak for a while.
"What's wrong?" Xin Ke asked with a smile, "Didn't you expect to get my support?"
"I..." Zheng Daqian was at a loss for what to do with anxiety, "Are you not angry with me anymore?"
"Angry..." Xin Ke smiled helplessly, "What's the use of being angry, you have to leave if you are angry, and you have to leave if you are not angry. In short, there are still two months, so hurry up and enjoy the last time together, after that It's going to be a year apart—but think about it, the future is so long, one year doesn't seem like a big deal, does it?"
Zheng Daqian suddenly had a sore nose, quickly lowered his head and drank two mouthfuls of soup, let his tears drip into the bowl, then took out two pieces of paper to wipe his mouth to cover up, then raised his head and smiled: "A lifetime is so long, you just look for it with me gone?"
"It's useless for me to be sure," Xin Ke said with a smile, "A relationship is a matter between two people. If you want to leave, like today, I can't help it? I can only do my best. As for the future you mentioned, my idea is that we rent a house first, work hard, and then strive to be independent enough to afford a house loan by ourselves before the age of 30, so that we have a firm foothold, and we will have the confidence to follow My family is out of the closet, but I have to infiltrate first, I have to meet and say hello to each other's parents frequently, and gain a good relationship foundation as a roommate, so that it should be smoother when the time comes──The general direction is like this, the specifics We can discuss the implementation slowly, at least there is still a year to prepare for it!"
Seeing Xin Ke's eloquent talk, Zheng Daqian felt more and more ashamed. He even wanted to confess to him that the reason why he chose to study in Taiwan was because he couldn't bear to face him and Ouyang Ye. The torment of making a difficult choice decided to solve it in such an evasive way, but he couldn't say it. He deeply understood that once he confessed this concern, it would inevitably reveal that he deliberately concealed Xin Ke and cooperated with Ouyang Ye in a project for half a year. Although the project has ended successfully and they have no further contact, Xin Ke must not forgive such a lie.
"Little Corgi..." Zheng Daqian's voice was a little choked up, "Either...or I won't go..."
Xin Ke didn't expect Zheng Daqian to say this, and he was a little stunned for a while, and quickly said: "I didn't say this to persuade you to stay..."
"I know...but I...I can't bear you too..." Zheng Daqian raised his hands to hold his forehead in tangled pain, excruciatingly painful.
"It's okay, I really want to understand," Xin Ke took Zheng Daqian's hand, and said with a gentle smile, "Go, you have paid your tuition fees and your visa has been issued, why don't you go? Just treat it as a meeting The world is good too! I don’t want you to give up such an important opportunity in life because of me. I said, I’m okay, it’s really okay.”
"Little Corgi... I promise, I will come back in one year, and I will never delay another day. I will work hard to make money when I come back, and then follow what you said, come out to my family, and live a good life, I promise!" Zheng Daqian shook his hand vigorously. Holding Xin Ke's hand, tears still rolled down his eyes.
"I believe in you," Xin Ke's smile was warmer than the lights, "I will always believe in you."
The [-]st question is the meaning of travel when you leave me
The emotional crisis between Zheng Daqian and Xin Ke was temporarily resolved, and Xue Mu drove the four of them to Yanqi Lake on weekends, fulfilling Wan Chaoyang's wish for a graduation trip, and it was also Zheng Daqian's little practice before parting.
Although Xin Ke has accepted the fact that Zheng Daqian is going to leave for a year, Xue Mu still feels a little overwhelmed by this hurdle. In fact, he also went to the United States to study LLM for a year, and he was not so sad when he parted. But what was awkward in his heart was Zheng Daqian's deliberate concealment. He felt that he was pouring out his heart for Zheng Daqian, but Zheng Daqian failed his honesty.
After returning from the outing, Wan Chaoyang enlightened Xue Mu in a rare way, persuading him not to worry about this matter again. No matter what decision Zheng Daqian makes, it is his own business in the end. As friends, they can only give. He supports, helps or advises, but he should not get emotional or lose his temper because of it.
Xue Mu was taken aback by Wan Chaoyang's words, and asked back, "Since when did you become so knowledgeable about people and the world? Are you even giving me lessons?"
Wan Chaoyang pursed his lips and said, "Haven't you ever eaten pork or seen a pig walk? I'm not an idiot who watches you socializing and negotiating every day. How can I not understand? But you, you usually understand when talking to clients and colleagues. Now, when it comes to yourself, you get confused, you really treat Daqian as your real buddy, but even a real buddy can’t be too forceful and interfere too much, right? Even your real parents can’t do it.”
Hearing this, Xue Mu got angry and asked, "Why am I being too strong and interfering with him?"
Wan Chaoyang sighed and said, "The first time you saw Ouyang Ye, you started making trouble, but you got into a fight and went to the hospital, didn't you? Later, Da Qianer told you that he owed Ouyang Ye money, and you scolded him again, right? When he went to Nanjing, he said that he likes netizens. Did you tell him again? When discussing starting a business, he didn’t want to invest in shares. Did you not give him good face? Did he just open his mouth when he went back to Taiwan? Are you impatient again? Isn’t that considered strong?”
Xue Mu was rendered speechless by Wan Chaoyang's words, so he had no choice but to defend himself: "Then I'm doing it all for his own good!"
Wan Chaoyang smiled wryly, and said, "Listen to your own words, does it sound like the lines of mother-in-law and mother-in-law in TV dramas?"
Xue Mu was tongue-tied and couldn't answer for a long while, but he actually understood the so-called "you will suffer a loss if you don't listen to the old man". He also understood that it is not so easy to make these young people listen to him. Having lived for ten years, he has seen through many things in the world, but Zheng Daqian is determined to take a detour, and he can only let him hit a wall—not to mention that studying abroad has never happened before, and it is not yet known whether he will hit a wall.
"Okay, okay," Wan Chaoyang smiled and hugged Xue Mu, who was puffing his mouth, "The wood is already done, the rice is already cooked, and the big money wants to study for another year. It is a good thing for him, whether it is education or knowledge. You Don't get too entangled, what should you do with big money in the future, but you have to understand that moderate care is moving, and excessive care is a burden, understand?"
"Alas..." Xue Mu sighed silently, "I really worked hard for someone..."
After the graduation season, the hottest July of the year is ushered in. The new independent engine DOTA2 is also officially released. Wan Chaoyang, as a high-end player who has reached a promotional cooperation in the early stage, released three episodes of the program in one go in conjunction with the promotion , I quickly indulged in the ladder and couldn't extricate myself.
Xue Mu looked at Wan Chaoyang who was playing games day and night, and he was still a little unbelievable. He was already playing games every day at work. After work, he still wanted to play games, and he played them so passionately. Seeing that his hands were a little itchy, he also played a couple of times, only to realize that this game is really not suitable for him. Compared with it, even LOL is easier.
After silently closing the client, he updated the client of the long-lost Jianwangsan out of boredom. After entering the game, facing the brand-new map and meridian talents, Xue Mu was at a loss for a long time, and had no choice but to quit the game again.
After closing the game, Xue Mu opened the webpage and browsed various social networking sites expressionlessly. Although the world is different from before, many things are still happening repeatedly, such as news, jokes, movies, variety shows, music, It seems that I have heard and watched anime, and it seems that there are many that I have never heard of or understood.
The news of natural disasters is gone, but man-made disasters are still unavoidable. Even in a better world, there will still be murder, corruption, smuggling and drug trafficking; the firewall is gone, and jokers can live on Weibo, Twitter and Facebook's business is also in full swing, but the bad marketing of plagiarism and plagiarism is also inexhaustible; online dramas have quietly risen, Tanmei idol dramas and cartoons are blooming everywhere, but dragging the progress bar for a few seconds, there is nothing special about the quality Excellent; the copyright awareness of music sharing is being built, and the major websites are fighting in full swing, but it sounds like songs from [-] are better.
Xue Mu seems to have suddenly lost interest in everything. Thinking about it carefully, he seems to have lived for 31 years. Although the five years in this world may not be counted, he is indeed one day in this world, which is both true and false. After one day, he didn't know what the life of a 31-year-old man should be like, but after all, it shouldn't be such a mid-life crisis.
He sighed a long time, read some news on the game website, and suddenly saw an advertisement for the mobile game "Tower of Gods and Demons". One, and then lay on the bed and played until dark, and finally avoided the emptiness in his heart temporarily, feeling in his heart: the game is really a good thing!
The days of work seem to be washed away by the flood and waves, and they are gone by accident, as if the ears were burned by the summer on Yanqi Lake the day before yesterday, and the corners of the eyes were wet with tears when I saw Zheng Daqian off at the airport yesterday, but today I was surrounded by the rustling autumn wind It got hot.
Wan Chaoyang wrapped Xue Mu tightly in the quilt involuntarily, and then pressed him firmly with his own body, trying to suppress his resistance, but Xue Mu was still struggling desperately.
Today is the day to discuss cooperation with Zhan Ge, Xue Mu knew that he had worked hard for such a long time just for this critical day, but Wan Chaoyang refused to let him go to work with illness no matter what, and kept trying to comfort him There are plenty of people in his company who can handle this matter.
Xue Mu couldn't rest assured, fearing that his success would fall short, he insisted on resisting and appealing with reason, but after taking antipyretics and cold medicine, he was really lethargic, and he didn't know how long he had been arguing with Wan Chaoyang before he fell asleep and fell asleep again. When he woke up, it was already midnight, he was sweating all over the quilt, and his fever had subsided a lot. He sat up suddenly, frightened Wan Chaoyang who was playing with his mobile phone to death, and quickly supported him and asked, "What's the matter? Going to the toilet? Drinking water? Or is it uncomfortable?"
"Battle Song! What happened to the battle song!" Xue Mu nervously broke out in a cold sweat, which was mixed with the sweat from the fever, and it was extremely sticky.
"Oh, don't worry, don't worry," Wan Chaoyang quickly pushed him down, and covered him with the quilt again, "It's all settled, I'll start live broadcasting in January."
"The conditions!" Xue Mu excitedly lifted the quilt again, "The key is what conditions!"
"Tsk!" Wan Chaoyang stared and was overwhelmed by him again, "One year later, give Hongri [-]% of the shares."
"Damn it?!" Even though this was exactly what Xue Mu wanted, it still made him a little unbelievable, "How did we talk about it?
Xue Mu was overjoyed. She fulfilled her promise and turned Tao Jing into a full-time member in advance, and authorized her to be responsible for fan maintenance. She also raised her salary accordingly. Be joyous.
Seeing Xue Mu's honesty and generosity, the others became more determined to follow him and work together. They signed equity incentive agreements with the company one after another, willingly compromised some immediate interests, and made up their minds to work together to make a fortune.
But among these people, Xie Jiangtao became an exception.
At the beginning of March, Xie Jiangtao suddenly brought news about the admissions of National Taiwan University, saying that dozens of universities in Taiwan have unitedly recruited graduate students from the mainland. You need to apply for an application and submit materials. After you are admitted, you can go to study directly. After graduation, you can get a master's degree certified by the Ministry of Education. It is a beautiful thing.
After hearing this, several fresh interns in the team were a little eager to move. They gathered together for a long time to discuss how to apply and what materials to prepare. While chatting, they began to imagine the happy life in Taiwan, causing a lot of trouble in the office. People panic.
But in the end, everyone carefully studied the enrollment brochures, only to find that although the application sounds easy, the enrollment restrictions are very complicated. The source of students is only limited to Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and min. Only Xie Jiangtao met the application requirements.
Xue Mu was noncommittal about Xie Jiangtao's desire to continue studying. Originally, Xie Jiangtao's presence by Wan Chaoyang's side had always made him a little uneasy. Now that he wanted to leave on his own initiative, he naturally had no reason to keep him.
Wan Chaoyang was very reluctant to part with him, finally met again, regained the tacit understanding many years ago, and wanted to make a fortune together, but now he runs away as soon as he says he wants to, which makes him feel a little frustrated that his plans have been disrupted for a while. But in the final analysis, it was his own business after all, no matter how unwilling he was, he couldn't say much, so he could only silently indulge him to ask for leave repeatedly to prepare for the application.
Although Xie Jiangtao devoted a lot of energy to going out, it did not affect SUN's program production. The program was steadily produced and released one by one, and the number of fans increased steadily for each issue. Advertisers also began to name and ask SUN to make videos, and even Others have come up with the idea of title sponsorship.
Halfway through the semester, both Xue Mu and Wan Chaoyang successfully completed the assessment and defense of their graduation thesis, and the school affairs only remained to obtain certificates and leave school, and more energy could be put on work, even though the business volume was the original It was more than several times, but with the cooperation of the team, it was handled with ease. At first, I was worried that the second phase of the registered capital would be in deficit before the full payment, but I didn't expect that it would be a surplus in just a few months.
It’s just that Xie Jiangtao’s dream of studying in graduate school was quietly shattered. In May, when the admissions list was announced, none of the five universities Xie Jiangtao applied for was selected, so he had to return to Hongri honestly and continue to work. As for the matter, some families are happy and some are sad in silence.
In June, they went back to school to take their degree photos, received their graduation certificates, and transferred their file relationships. Xue Mu and Wan Chaoyang finally graduated from the University of Law and officially joined the Red Sun. There is no longer the status of a student.
Although practically speaking, the work the two of them do is still the same as before, and they have basically not returned to school this semester, and there is no special feeling if they do not graduate, but after all, it is the end of a life stage. The classmates at the school ate a breakup meal, and bid farewell to the colleagues who were addicted to the e-sports club according to the law. When they returned to the city, Wan Chaoyang still felt that this tone was not vented, so he offered to ask Zheng Daqian to save another game and bid farewell together Look at the last student days.
Xue Mu saw that Wan Chaoyang was so thoughtful, so he contacted Zheng Daqian and asked him and Xin Ke to go to Huairou together on the weekend, as a small graduation trip, but Zheng Daqian said that the summer vacation was over, and Xin Ke had already returned to Nanjing He himself was too busy, so he turned down Xue Mu's invitation because of this.
Xue Mu sensed something sensitively from Zheng Daqian's strange tone. Xin Ke had said before that he didn't plan to go to graduate school but to work directly, so why didn't he hurry up to practice during the summer vacation of his junior year?Under his repeated questioning, Zheng Daqian finally confessed that the two had actually quarreled and are currently engaged in a cold war.
"Why are you arguing?"
"Because... I'm going to Taiwan to study in graduate school..."
When Xue Mu heard this answer, he didn't even care about going to work or graduating. He picked up Wan Chaoyang and ran to Gongti. He waited downstairs in Zheng Daqian's company for a long time before rushing into his office. Only then did Zheng Daqian come out with a face full of embarrassment, and took the two of them into Starbucks.
"What do you mean? What's going on? Why are you going to Taiwan all of a sudden? Which university? How long will you study for? When will you leave?"
Zheng Daqian was embarrassed by Xue Mu's series of questions, Wan Chaoyang quickly pulled Xue Mu's arm, and said to Zheng Daqian: "Don't worry, speak slowly."
Zheng Daqian picked up the coffee, took a sip slowly, sighed, and said, "Well... the school I went to was called National Chung Cheng University, and normally I leave at the end of August and early September, the time... probably one to two years ..."
"One to two years?! Is it one year or two years?! Why did you suddenly decide to go to Taiwan to study in graduate school?" Xue Mu asked.
"Tsk..." Wan Chaoyang tugged at Xue Mu, frowned and said, "Let Da Qianer speak for himself..."
Zheng Daqian nodded gratefully to Wan Chaoyang, took another sip of coffee, and replied: "Generally speaking, it is one year, but there are also those who are slow in credits or fail to meet the graduation threshold. There are also those who come back... If I go well, I will come back in a year."
"You──" Xue Mugang was about to speak, but Wan Chaoyang stopped him by shaking his hand forcefully, and continued, "You didn't tell us about your going to Taiwan, did you tell Xiao Xin?"
Zheng Daqian pursed his lips and shook his head silently.
"You can really—"
Before Xue Mu finished speaking, Wan Chaoyang suddenly pulled him up by his arm and pulled him aside. He was confused for a while, and asked in confusion, "Why?"
"What are you doing?" Wan Chaoyang frowned, "Are you interrogating the prisoner?"
Xue Mu was dumbfounded when asked: "What?"
"Big Qian'er quarreled with Xiao Xin, and he's feeling uncomfortable, and you still keep questioning him in this tone?" Wan Chaoyang's expression was terribly serious, "I'm usually a careful person, why don't you pay attention to other people's feelings at critical times? Why don't you Just listen honestly and don't talk, or stay calm and calm at the top, and I'll report it to you when I finish chatting with Da Qianer!"
Xue Mu was stupefied by Wan Chaoyang's training, and then turned to look at Zheng Daqian, who looked very embarrassed. He was taken aback, and then realized that he was careless, and his tone just now was really bad. He looked at Wan Chaoyang in front of him again, really I didn't expect that there would be a day when I was accused by him of communicating with others. I couldn't believe that this was the second-year boy who couldn't speak a whole sentence in front of outsiders.
"Okay, okay..." Xue Mu pouted and nodded, "You ask, he said, I won't talk."
When the two returned to their seats, Wan Chaoyang glanced at Xue Mu, then turned to Zheng Daqian and asked, "Didn't you already decide to work before? After practicing for so long, why did you change your mind and go to Taiwan?" "
Zheng Daqian dodged his eyes, looked down at the cup in his hand, and mumbled: "Just... I have been in class for more than half a year... I feel quite annoying... It's not as easy as going to school... I didn't know about this, but I didn't know it last time. I complained to Xie Jiangtao that I only knew about it, and then... just applied for it..."
Xue Mu wanted to cry when he heard this, but he never expected that Zheng Daqian's heart grew because of his casual complaints. Make fun of Jiang Tao!"
"Tsk," Xue Mu glared back at Wan Chaoyang, "I'll talk about that later!"
Wan Chaoyang pursed his lips, and asked Zheng Daqian again: "Then you have this idea, why didn't you tell us, didn't you tell Xiao Xin?"
"I'll just apply just like that..." Zheng Daqian's expression became more and more helpless, "There are so many schools, so many restrictions, some require a professor's recommendation letter, and some require a school grade ranking, so I just found the one with the least requirements, what? I didn’t even need to prepare, I just applied casually, thinking that if I can get in, I’ll get in, if I can’t, I’ll be down, I didn’t expect... I didn’t expect to be recorded..."
Wan Chaoyang was stunned when he heard this, and asked back: "Didn't expect it to be recorded? You didn't expect to be recorded, why did you apply?"
This was exactly what Xue Mu wanted to ask. He felt that the two had a good understanding, and excitedly squeezed Wan Chaoyang's hand, then stared at Zheng Daqian and waited for his answer, but Zheng Daqian just lowered his eyes and did not answer.
"Then you decided to go after recording it? Have you told Xiao Xin? What did he say?" Wan Chaoyang asked again.
"He...he's very angry..." Zheng Daqian lowered his head as he talked, "I don't think I think about our future... I don't have him in my heart..."
"Hmph..." Xue Mu couldn't help but snorted coldly, staring at Zheng Daqian with a look of hatred for iron.
Wan Chaoyang was silent for a moment, then said, "So what's your explanation?"
"Isn't it just going to Taiwan for a year..." Zheng Daqian murmured, "I have already graduated, and my family will be urging me to get married soon. This year can also avoid this problem. After a year, we will both be married." After graduating, I have a master's degree and the other has a bachelor's degree, and then we will work together and come out together in the future, what's the matter... If our relationship can't even stand the test of a year away, then what's the value."
Wan Chaoyang sighed deeply, and said, "Okay, don't ask me a question and answer it like squeezing toothpaste, just talk, how did we talk afterwards?"
Zheng Daqian also sighed, and said: "Anyway, my idea is quite simple, that's it. He thought I didn't consider his feelings, and said that I used such a year's long distance to test our relationship. After passing the test, there was a problem, and I was asked if I would regret it, and I said... no."
Xue Mu gasped in shock: "No way?!"
"That's not what I meant," Zheng Daqian said helplessly, "It's inevitable that people will have regrets in their lifetime, but what's the use of regrets? I never regret it. No matter how much I suffer because of something or someone. No matter how many sins I have committed, I will not regret it because of this incident. I live my life, and what is lost is always gained, right? Just thinking about those sufferings and sins, why don’t you think about other happiness? You can't go back to the past if you regret it, and you will regret it in the future if you go back to the past and make other decisions──So I said I won't regret it... But anyway, he was even angrier when he heard it..."
"Anyone will be angry!" Wan Chaoyang was actually a little angry, "No matter how reasonable you are, you can't say such things to your partner! What's more, it's your fault first!"
"Why did I make a mistake?" Zheng Daqian couldn't help but speak back, "My own life, can I even go for a master's degree if I want to?"
"Of course you are single!" Wan Chaoyang frowned, "But don't forget that you have a boyfriend who has been dating for two and a half years! If Xiao Xin suddenly tells you that he will return to Nanjing immediately and never come again What do you think about Beijing?"
"He loves to come back or not!" Zheng Daqian said angrily, "If he really decides that way, I will definitely not stop him! If the relationship can be maintained, then we can maintain it, and if we can't, we will pull it down! What about the future of the two of us? We have been in love for two and a half years No one dares to tell the family, even dare to discuss this topic, it is a matter of no future!"
Both Wan Chaoyang and Xue Mu were startled by Zheng Daqian's words, and they were speechless for a while before Wan Chaoyang asked, "You mean... you want to break up?"
"I didn't say we broke up," Zheng Daqian pouted, "Isn't this the end of the conversation?"
Xue Mu was so angry with Zheng Daqian that he couldn't speak, but Wan Chaoyang thought for a long time and asked, "You two are arguing like this now, do you need us to help you make peace?"
After hearing this, Zheng Daqian raised his eyes to look at Wan Chaoyang, unable to make up his mind for a moment.
"Although it is clear to the onlookers, it is still difficult to decide on housework..." Wan Chaoyang continued, "If you still want to maintain the relationship between the two of you, we can help you. It's a matter of course. If you don't want us to get involved... ...We'll just pretend we don't know, and communicate with you yourself."
Zheng Daqian picked up the coffee and brought it to his mouth, rolled his eyes anxiously for a while, finally put down the cup, and said in a deep voice, "Forget it...Let's solve it by ourselves..."
Xue Mu sighed deeply, and buried his face in his palms, Wan Chaoyang reluctantly took a sip from the cup, and then put it down heavily: "You can do it yourself."
Question [-] I know you'll be my cover when I'm a deserter
When it was time to get off work, Xin Ke stretched his waist at the work station, and heard some colleagues around him discussing where to go for a date at night, some discussing what movie to show today, and some discussing when they will work overtime. .
"Xiao Xin, go back," Jiang Tong's voice came from sitting in the cubicle opposite, "Don't worry about the script, you can get it out within this week, don't work overtime every day as soon as you are an intern, your boyfriend should be unhappy gone."
Xin Ke laughed awkwardly, got up and stretched his waist, and said, "Then I'll go first."
"Well, see you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow, sister Tong."
Xin Ke walked into the elevator room with his bag on his back, and exchanged polite greetings with the colleagues he met by chance. The elevator door opened on the first floor, and the scattered crowd quickly merged into a more turbulent crowd. Xin Ke walked out of the building. In the evening, the sultry wind was blowing in his face, and he was standing by the side of the flowing road, a little at a loss.
The 31st floor of the opposite building is Zheng Daqian's company. It seems that it is only a few steps away, but if you really want to go there, you have to go around the overpass at the east end of the road, and then turn back. At least ten minutes.
He raised his eyes to look at the densely packed windows of the high-rise building, but couldn't tell which one would have Zheng Daqian in it.
When preparing for the final final exam a month ago, he fantasized that after the summer vacation began, Zheng Daqian would officially graduate, he would also start an internship, and the two of them should start renting a house together, and live in a serious couple like Xue Muwan Chaoyang. Days passed, but he didn't expect that when the exam was over, when he was excitedly showing Zheng Daqian the house he wanted, he got the news that Zheng Daqian would go to Taiwan to study for graduate school in two months.
Xin Ke couldn't accept this sudden change. He really couldn't understand why Zheng Daqian made such a decision suddenly, and deliberately concealed it from him. From the online application in March, to the announcement of the admission result in May, until he handed in I told him the truth after I paid my tuition and got my visa.
Although Zheng Daqian took out reasons to avoid family urging marriage for a year, did not tell him before because he was afraid of affecting his final exam, etc., Xin Ke still could not believe his statement.
Xin Ke never doubted Zheng Daqian's feelings for him, although when Ouyang Ye suddenly appeared, he also saw Zheng Daqian's embarrassment and uneasiness, and felt that his affection for him was not over, but that had passed after all For a year and a half, the word "Ouyang Ye" never appeared in their lives again. In his opinion, such a pseudo-ex who had never even had a successful relationship could not become a threat to their relationship. .
But if it wasn't for Ouyang Ye's reason, Xin Ke really couldn't think of any reason why Zheng Daqian decided to abandon him so selfishly and go to Taiwan to study alone. During the quarrel, he repeatedly questioned Zheng Daqian's motives and The decision finally forced Zheng Daqian to say the words that "there is no future".
Xin Ke was so choked by Zheng Daqian's words that he couldn't reply anymore. He knew that compared with Xue Mu and Wan Chaoyang, both he and Zheng Daqian were a bit immature, even though Xue Mu was the same age as him, only older than him. He is two months older, but his behavior is obviously the most mature among them, and as the youngest, he is also a grade lower than them, so naturally he has become the most immature and lightest among them one.
His vision of the future has always been vague and simple. Engage in the media industry he likes, be a nine-to-five office worker, may have to travel, may have to work overtime, busy and fulfilling, and enjoy it with Zheng Daqian in his spare time A leisurely two-person world, eat, sleep, go shopping, exercise and play games together, and you can invite other friends to party and go out together on weekends and long holidays. Simple and romantic, ordinary and warm.
But when Zheng Daqian mentioned that he would face the problem of family urging marriage after graduation, he realized for the first time that he thought about the future too easily. His parents in Nanjing had already prepared a house for him. Not to mention getting married, I am afraid that he will be expected to go back to his hometown for employment, and he is 21 years old this year, but he has never thought clearly about how to come out to his family.
He sat on the edge of the flower bed at the entrance of the building for a long time, until the sunset gradually dyed the sky red, and he was bitten by mosquitoes on his calf several times. Then he came back to his senses, took out his mobile phone and sent Zheng Daqian a WeChat message: get off work Yet?
Zheng Daqian had just clicked send on the last email, and was about to sort out the priorities of the work to be completed in the memo, when he suddenly received Xin Ke's WeChat, he couldn't help being stunned, he looked at the time, hesitated for a moment, and replied: : Down.
Xin Ke looked up blankly at the tall building in front of him, felt the phone vibrate, looked down to see Zheng Daqian's reply, and replied: "We're downstairs, let's have dinner together."
─ ─ good.
Zheng Daqian walked out of the building and saw Xin Ke standing in the crowd from a distance. The golden light of the setting sun shone on his face. His tall figure and gentle smile shone like the sun among the tired and gloomy crowd. In that carefree smile, you can still see a trace of loss that cannot be erased.
"What to eat?" Zheng Daqian walked up to Xin Ke and asked naturally, as if the previous quarrel and cold war had never happened.
"Let's eat that Thai food," Xin Ke replied with a smile, "I haven't eaten curry for a long time, and I want to drink Tom Yum Kung soup."
"Okay."
The two walked side by side on the road, and the elongated silhouette of the setting sun became more and more slender. People passing by all cast their eyes on these two tall and handsome guys, but they were already used to this kind of staring ceremony, and they laughed and complained indifferently. Looking at the boss and customers, just like Xin Ke imagined their future appearance, warm and calm.
This Thai restaurant was also the first restaurant that Zheng Daqian took Xin Ke to eat when he first came to practice. Although Xin Ke has a light taste and has always disliked the hot and sour taste of Southeast Asian cuisine, he has a good impression of this restaurant because of Zheng Daqian. Special favor.
Although both of them are about 1.8 meters tall, they don't eat much. However, after ordering three or four dishes, there is still a lot left on each plate.
"Are you going back to the dormitory today? Or you can just sleep in my place and go watch a movie later. There's a new movie that's not bad. Pacific Rim, our company also voted."
Zheng Daqian can no longer live in a dormitory after graduating from school, but he will go to Taiwan at the end of August, and it is not convenient to find a house to rent. It happens that the owner’s leased house contract expires, so he temporarily rents it to him at a low price for two months. Zheng Daqian It can be regarded as a big bargain, so I have to put in more effort in my work.
"Okay," Xin Ke took a sip of milk tea and said with a smile, "Why don't I go back to the dormitory for two months and stay with you, or wait for you to leave, so long I can't see you."
The smile on Zheng Daqian's face froze, and he lowered his eyes a little embarrassedly. He knew that this meeting after the Cold War would inevitably involve talking about this matter, and he also knew in his heart that in the final analysis, he was still sorry for Xin Ke.
"I've thought about it for the past two days, and what you said is actually right," Xin Ke started the topic naturally, "You were originally a year older than me, and it wasn't obvious when you were in school, but it's different now."
He reached out to pick up Zheng Daqian's bowl, and said while serving him soup, "You have already graduated to work, and the winter and summer vacations are gone, and you may not be able to work overtime at ordinary times. You are working hard to make money every day. Big, even if I have started an internship, I am different from you after all. The people I meet every day do different things, and I will gradually have nothing to talk to, and maybe my relationship will also be affected. If you go to another year It’s pretty good for us to join the new year together when we come back, and I don’t feel like I’m a year younger than you.”
After Xin Ke finished speaking, he brought a bowl of soup to Zheng Daqian, smiled slightly and said, "So I support you, you go, I'll wait for you here."
Zheng Daqian stared blankly at Xin Ke's smile, unable to speak for a while.
"What's wrong?" Xin Ke asked with a smile, "Didn't you expect to get my support?"
"I..." Zheng Daqian was at a loss for what to do with anxiety, "Are you not angry with me anymore?"
"Angry..." Xin Ke smiled helplessly, "What's the use of being angry, you have to leave if you are angry, and you have to leave if you are not angry. In short, there are still two months, so hurry up and enjoy the last time together, after that It's going to be a year apart—but think about it, the future is so long, one year doesn't seem like a big deal, does it?"
Zheng Daqian suddenly had a sore nose, quickly lowered his head and drank two mouthfuls of soup, let his tears drip into the bowl, then took out two pieces of paper to wipe his mouth to cover up, then raised his head and smiled: "A lifetime is so long, you just look for it with me gone?"
"It's useless for me to be sure," Xin Ke said with a smile, "A relationship is a matter between two people. If you want to leave, like today, I can't help it? I can only do my best. As for the future you mentioned, my idea is that we rent a house first, work hard, and then strive to be independent enough to afford a house loan by ourselves before the age of 30, so that we have a firm foothold, and we will have the confidence to follow My family is out of the closet, but I have to infiltrate first, I have to meet and say hello to each other's parents frequently, and gain a good relationship foundation as a roommate, so that it should be smoother when the time comes──The general direction is like this, the specifics We can discuss the implementation slowly, at least there is still a year to prepare for it!"
Seeing Xin Ke's eloquent talk, Zheng Daqian felt more and more ashamed. He even wanted to confess to him that the reason why he chose to study in Taiwan was because he couldn't bear to face him and Ouyang Ye. The torment of making a difficult choice decided to solve it in such an evasive way, but he couldn't say it. He deeply understood that once he confessed this concern, it would inevitably reveal that he deliberately concealed Xin Ke and cooperated with Ouyang Ye in a project for half a year. Although the project has ended successfully and they have no further contact, Xin Ke must not forgive such a lie.
"Little Corgi..." Zheng Daqian's voice was a little choked up, "Either...or I won't go..."
Xin Ke didn't expect Zheng Daqian to say this, and he was a little stunned for a while, and quickly said: "I didn't say this to persuade you to stay..."
"I know...but I...I can't bear you too..." Zheng Daqian raised his hands to hold his forehead in tangled pain, excruciatingly painful.
"It's okay, I really want to understand," Xin Ke took Zheng Daqian's hand, and said with a gentle smile, "Go, you have paid your tuition fees and your visa has been issued, why don't you go? Just treat it as a meeting The world is good too! I don’t want you to give up such an important opportunity in life because of me. I said, I’m okay, it’s really okay.”
"Little Corgi... I promise, I will come back in one year, and I will never delay another day. I will work hard to make money when I come back, and then follow what you said, come out to my family, and live a good life, I promise!" Zheng Daqian shook his hand vigorously. Holding Xin Ke's hand, tears still rolled down his eyes.
"I believe in you," Xin Ke's smile was warmer than the lights, "I will always believe in you."
The [-]st question is the meaning of travel when you leave me
The emotional crisis between Zheng Daqian and Xin Ke was temporarily resolved, and Xue Mu drove the four of them to Yanqi Lake on weekends, fulfilling Wan Chaoyang's wish for a graduation trip, and it was also Zheng Daqian's little practice before parting.
Although Xin Ke has accepted the fact that Zheng Daqian is going to leave for a year, Xue Mu still feels a little overwhelmed by this hurdle. In fact, he also went to the United States to study LLM for a year, and he was not so sad when he parted. But what was awkward in his heart was Zheng Daqian's deliberate concealment. He felt that he was pouring out his heart for Zheng Daqian, but Zheng Daqian failed his honesty.
After returning from the outing, Wan Chaoyang enlightened Xue Mu in a rare way, persuading him not to worry about this matter again. No matter what decision Zheng Daqian makes, it is his own business in the end. As friends, they can only give. He supports, helps or advises, but he should not get emotional or lose his temper because of it.
Xue Mu was taken aback by Wan Chaoyang's words, and asked back, "Since when did you become so knowledgeable about people and the world? Are you even giving me lessons?"
Wan Chaoyang pursed his lips and said, "Haven't you ever eaten pork or seen a pig walk? I'm not an idiot who watches you socializing and negotiating every day. How can I not understand? But you, you usually understand when talking to clients and colleagues. Now, when it comes to yourself, you get confused, you really treat Daqian as your real buddy, but even a real buddy can’t be too forceful and interfere too much, right? Even your real parents can’t do it.”
Hearing this, Xue Mu got angry and asked, "Why am I being too strong and interfering with him?"
Wan Chaoyang sighed and said, "The first time you saw Ouyang Ye, you started making trouble, but you got into a fight and went to the hospital, didn't you? Later, Da Qianer told you that he owed Ouyang Ye money, and you scolded him again, right? When he went to Nanjing, he said that he likes netizens. Did you tell him again? When discussing starting a business, he didn’t want to invest in shares. Did you not give him good face? Did he just open his mouth when he went back to Taiwan? Are you impatient again? Isn’t that considered strong?”
Xue Mu was rendered speechless by Wan Chaoyang's words, so he had no choice but to defend himself: "Then I'm doing it all for his own good!"
Wan Chaoyang smiled wryly, and said, "Listen to your own words, does it sound like the lines of mother-in-law and mother-in-law in TV dramas?"
Xue Mu was tongue-tied and couldn't answer for a long while, but he actually understood the so-called "you will suffer a loss if you don't listen to the old man". He also understood that it is not so easy to make these young people listen to him. Having lived for ten years, he has seen through many things in the world, but Zheng Daqian is determined to take a detour, and he can only let him hit a wall—not to mention that studying abroad has never happened before, and it is not yet known whether he will hit a wall.
"Okay, okay," Wan Chaoyang smiled and hugged Xue Mu, who was puffing his mouth, "The wood is already done, the rice is already cooked, and the big money wants to study for another year. It is a good thing for him, whether it is education or knowledge. You Don't get too entangled, what should you do with big money in the future, but you have to understand that moderate care is moving, and excessive care is a burden, understand?"
"Alas..." Xue Mu sighed silently, "I really worked hard for someone..."
After the graduation season, the hottest July of the year is ushered in. The new independent engine DOTA2 is also officially released. Wan Chaoyang, as a high-end player who has reached a promotional cooperation in the early stage, released three episodes of the program in one go in conjunction with the promotion , I quickly indulged in the ladder and couldn't extricate myself.
Xue Mu looked at Wan Chaoyang who was playing games day and night, and he was still a little unbelievable. He was already playing games every day at work. After work, he still wanted to play games, and he played them so passionately. Seeing that his hands were a little itchy, he also played a couple of times, only to realize that this game is really not suitable for him. Compared with it, even LOL is easier.
After silently closing the client, he updated the client of the long-lost Jianwangsan out of boredom. After entering the game, facing the brand-new map and meridian talents, Xue Mu was at a loss for a long time, and had no choice but to quit the game again.
After closing the game, Xue Mu opened the webpage and browsed various social networking sites expressionlessly. Although the world is different from before, many things are still happening repeatedly, such as news, jokes, movies, variety shows, music, It seems that I have heard and watched anime, and it seems that there are many that I have never heard of or understood.
The news of natural disasters is gone, but man-made disasters are still unavoidable. Even in a better world, there will still be murder, corruption, smuggling and drug trafficking; the firewall is gone, and jokers can live on Weibo, Twitter and Facebook's business is also in full swing, but the bad marketing of plagiarism and plagiarism is also inexhaustible; online dramas have quietly risen, Tanmei idol dramas and cartoons are blooming everywhere, but dragging the progress bar for a few seconds, there is nothing special about the quality Excellent; the copyright awareness of music sharing is being built, and the major websites are fighting in full swing, but it sounds like songs from [-] are better.
Xue Mu seems to have suddenly lost interest in everything. Thinking about it carefully, he seems to have lived for 31 years. Although the five years in this world may not be counted, he is indeed one day in this world, which is both true and false. After one day, he didn't know what the life of a 31-year-old man should be like, but after all, it shouldn't be such a mid-life crisis.
He sighed a long time, read some news on the game website, and suddenly saw an advertisement for the mobile game "Tower of Gods and Demons". One, and then lay on the bed and played until dark, and finally avoided the emptiness in his heart temporarily, feeling in his heart: the game is really a good thing!
The days of work seem to be washed away by the flood and waves, and they are gone by accident, as if the ears were burned by the summer on Yanqi Lake the day before yesterday, and the corners of the eyes were wet with tears when I saw Zheng Daqian off at the airport yesterday, but today I was surrounded by the rustling autumn wind It got hot.
Wan Chaoyang wrapped Xue Mu tightly in the quilt involuntarily, and then pressed him firmly with his own body, trying to suppress his resistance, but Xue Mu was still struggling desperately.
Today is the day to discuss cooperation with Zhan Ge, Xue Mu knew that he had worked hard for such a long time just for this critical day, but Wan Chaoyang refused to let him go to work with illness no matter what, and kept trying to comfort him There are plenty of people in his company who can handle this matter.
Xue Mu couldn't rest assured, fearing that his success would fall short, he insisted on resisting and appealing with reason, but after taking antipyretics and cold medicine, he was really lethargic, and he didn't know how long he had been arguing with Wan Chaoyang before he fell asleep and fell asleep again. When he woke up, it was already midnight, he was sweating all over the quilt, and his fever had subsided a lot. He sat up suddenly, frightened Wan Chaoyang who was playing with his mobile phone to death, and quickly supported him and asked, "What's the matter? Going to the toilet? Drinking water? Or is it uncomfortable?"
"Battle Song! What happened to the battle song!" Xue Mu nervously broke out in a cold sweat, which was mixed with the sweat from the fever, and it was extremely sticky.
"Oh, don't worry, don't worry," Wan Chaoyang quickly pushed him down, and covered him with the quilt again, "It's all settled, I'll start live broadcasting in January."
"The conditions!" Xue Mu excitedly lifted the quilt again, "The key is what conditions!"
"Tsk!" Wan Chaoyang stared and was overwhelmed by him again, "One year later, give Hongri [-]% of the shares."
"Damn it?!" Even though this was exactly what Xue Mu wanted, it still made him a little unbelievable, "How did we talk about it?
