The First Bud of Cultivating Heart and Fruit

The roar of the air conditioner's external unit combined with the annoying cicadas made the hot afternoon even more noisy. The heat in the house was exhausted by the roaring machine to the outside, and the heat flow met and collided with the sultry outdoor air, turning The roiling heat wave made the already very hot air even more scorching.

The constant cold wind blowing from the air outlet seemed unable to take away Fang Rui's anger, he scolded Ye Xiu like never before, "You! Tell me about you, you'll be so embarrassed after getting this! I really don't understand, What's so great about you! Have you ever put yourself in her shoes? She gave her heart and soul for you, and now she's even made her own reputation. Who is it because of?? You really don't know Do you know or you don’t know?!”

Ye Xiu was startled, a long piece of soot fell down, and the image of Chen Guo crying in his arms last night instantly filled his mind.Fang Rui's words made him suddenly realize that he was the root cause of Chen Guo's harm... He was right... At that time, he had no self-knowledge and said to her without shame, don't try to be brave, try to rely on yourself The power of this... Ye Xiu's expression darkened for a moment, and after a while he slowly touched a cigarette and responded.

Seeing that Ye Xiu changed from being plain and meaningless in the past, Fang Rui's anger subsided a little, "If I knew this, I wouldn't be so mean-spirited and arrogant. This time it's good, the retribution is coming, isn't it!?"

Ye Xiu was just smoking a cigarette, frowning and not speaking, his eyes looked a little lonely.

Looking at the silent Ye Xiu, Fang Rui suddenly felt that his words were too serious.He didn't know where he got so angry just now, he didn't know why he was so emotional and excited just now.On weekdays, he gossips about Ye Xiu and Chen Guo, joking and having fun.Although he really hoped that the two of them could be together, and hoped to reveal some serious news, but he also knew how to control the situation and accept it when he saw it.It was the same with Ben today. He wanted to make fun of it casually, but Ye Xiu mentioned that the negotiation was related to Feng Xianjun, which made him excited and interested for a while, and he simply forgot about the gossip.Ever since he left Chen Guo's room, he has been pestering Ye Xiu to understand the whole process of yesterday's negotiation and the results achieved this time.When Ye Xiu anxiously counted the gains he had made this time, he was excitedly gearing up and excited, wishing he could put all the ideas and thoughts in his mind into practice immediately.He had never imagined that when he learned how Ye Xiu found out the clue and turned the world around, he would be so rude to Ye Xiu and this senior who was far older than him in terms of age and qualifications.He remembered that Ye Xiu was interested in it at that time, and he was carrying out a rigorous logical analysis and deduction of the whole incident with a calm expression, while he was looking forward to the reveal of the mystery with great interest.He listened to how Feng Xianjun set up layers of overlapping traps, and how Chen Guo stepped into the interlocking traps step by step, getting stuck in the quagmire and completely ignorant, a complete picture emerged in his mind, He seemed to be able to truly see how Chen Guo walked forward along the route set for her by others, how she 'naturally' stepped into the mud with one foot deeply and shallowly, and how she was stained with filth because of it. ...Ye Xiu's calm and indifferent voice in his ears began to become harsh, and Ye Xiu's complacent and indifferent expression in front of him began to become harsh... It seemed that an inexplicable anger quickly gathered in his heart After getting up, with Ye Xiu's nonchalant attitude of staying out of the matter, they became more and more condensed into groups, and finally turned into harsh words, and vented completely at Ye Xiu...

Fang Rui paid attention, feeling a little at a loss.He didn't know how to apologize for his slip of the tongue just now, and he didn't know how to face Ye Xiu.After a while, he lightly patted Ye Xiu on the shoulder, pretending that nothing happened, and said disapprovingly, "Okay, okay, if you have the time to blame yourself, why not be nicer to the boss!"

Ye Xiu raised his eyes to look at Fang Rui, and let out a soft "Yeah!"

Fang Rui was startled, he didn't expect Ye Xiu to react like this.He carefully figured out Ye Xiu's thoughts, and asked tentatively, "You... feel uncomfortable... and... feel distressed, don't you?"

"Cough!" Ye Xiu put out the cigarette in his hand, looked at Fang Rui's serious face and said in a low voice, "I'm not hard-hearted..."

After hearing Ye Xiu's answer, Fang Rui was secretly happy.Just now, he was still blaming himself for his rudeness, and he was helpless. He didn't expect it to be clear at this moment. He leaned over to Ye Xiu and said seriously, "I know you love the boss, it's written on your face..."

Ye Xiu felt melancholy, unable to express his suffering, ignored Fang Rui, and sat with his head down.

Seeing Ye Xiu's downcast look, Fang Rui thought to himself, "Old Ye!"

"Huh?" Ye Xiu looked at Fang Rui upon hearing the sound.

"How about playing two games?" Fang Rui calmly controlled Boundless Sea to the arena.

"Okay!" Ye Xiu took the account card and swiped into the game directly, "Which room?"

"Custom 52cg, password 1314!"

Ye Xiu glanced sideways at Fang Rui who had a smirk on his face, shook his head, and directly manipulated Lord Grim into the room without saying anything.

There was the sound of 'click, click' from the keyboard and the sound of 'click' from the mouse, and Fang Rui muttered pretendingly casually, "Lao Ye, I figured it out!".

"What?" Ye Xiu responded nonchalantly.

"In your heart, you actually like the boss!" Fang Rui's tone was very steady, without the slightest bit of teasing.

He glanced at Ye Xiu who was silent and looked normal, "Are you acquiescing? Or don't you want to talk to me?" After waiting for a while, Ye Xiu didn't respond, nor did his expression change. Fang Rui continued, "I'll just pretend that you ignore me!" He suddenly smiled slyly, "Hehe, what about you, try replacing our lady boss with Tao Xuan, and see if it hurts?!"

"Is it disgusting!" Ye Xiu rolled his eyes at Fang Rui.

Seeing Ye Xiu's quick response, Fang Rui knew that he had listened to what he said, and continued, "Hehe, that's fine, then just change to another boss..."

The word 'Glory' suddenly jumped out, and Fang Rui's Boundless Sea fell to the ground, his vision was all gray.Fang Rui challenged with a calm expression, glanced at Ye Xiu, and continued to analyze unhurriedly, "As for this matter, even if it was because of you, you don't have to, or you won't take it easy at all. Blame it... The reason is very simple, this is your value! In exchange for so many benefits, you have already done your utmost to the boss, and the boss kneels and licks gratitude..."

Fang Rui paused, glanced at Ye Xiu, saw that his brows could not help but frown, and then continued, "But you are not happy at all now. Have you ever wondered why?" After finishing speaking, he Began to pay special attention to Ye Xiu's reaction.

'This grade is something to be proud of and to show off!For a grass-roots team, such a receipt is a step up to the sky.From a strategic point of view, there is nothing wrong with obtaining the opportunity to become a wealthy family overnight through an equivalent exchange, and I also planned it that way at the time.For Xingxin's present and future, this is undoubtedly a good choice.From another perspective, this kind of exchange can be regarded as avenging her injustice... However, when I face her in the real world, I can't even convince myself with such achievements and gains. Make yourself happy...Her self-denial, her crying, her helplessness cannot be explained by this so-called 'equivalent exchange'... At that time, what else can I use to comfort that girl besides hugging? Wounded mind?What else could be used to soothe that fragile soul? 'Ye Xiu couldn't help thinking, feeling more and more disturbed... Lord Grim made a skill move, dodged behind Boundless Sea, and won the round with Shadow Step.Before the screen display was fully switched, he clicked on the start position at the predicted position, "Whispering! Do you still want to play?"

Seeing that Ye Xiu was a little impetuous, Fang Rui knew that what he said hit the nail on the head, and said with a chuckle, "Fight, I'm talking about mine! I didn't want to let him go! Hehe, you and Huang Shaotian can't let him PK!" say?!"

Ye Xiu stopped talking and continued to focus on the screen.

Seeing that Ye Xiu didn't stop him, Fang Rui continued to analyze, "Because you feel that the capital you got back is nothing compared to the damage the boss suffered! So you love her and you can't bear her. Because...you like her !!!”

As soon as the words were finished, Fang Rui heard Ye Xiu beside him start to explode his hand speed, and there were 'clicks' one after another.On the screen, Lord Grim manipulated the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella to rapidly change its form, while his own Boundless Sea was under unprecedented attack, and the skills of 24 occupations flickered on the screen like fireworks...

"Damn!" As 'Glory' jumped out, Boundless Sea fell into a pool of blood, Fang Rui yelled and looked at Ye Xiu, "Hey! Are you sure?! I just hit it off!"

"Are you still coming?" Ye Xiu's tone was very flat, his expression didn't change at all, and he looked at the screen without squinting.

Fang Rui was suddenly enlightened and suddenly realized.He looked at Ye Xiu with a smirk, "Hehe! All right, I'll stay with you till the end!"

Ye Xiu fell into silence again, didn't say a word, and didn't smoke.He just watched Lord Grim seriously, operating the keyboard and mouse intently.The two of them were playing one set after another in the arena room, non-stop...

"Hey! It's 60 games, come back?" Seeing that Ye Xiu had no intention of stopping, Fang Rui roared helplessly.

"That's all you can do?" Ye Xiu replied coldly.

"Cut! Don't let the water go!" Fang Rui looked disdainful, but his heart tightened a bit.If this is done in normal times, not to mention playing 60 games, it will not be a problem to triple or quadruple it.But today's Ye Xiu is not like that at all, he seems to be crazy, his hand speed is not at an ordinary level, and continuing to vent in this state is undoubtedly an act of self-harm.

"Don't worry, I will satisfy you well!"

"Get out! Disgusting!" Fang Rui yelled angrily on purpose, trying to get Ye Xiu to stop, "The winner is determined in one round, and the loser should eat!"

"I want a big meal!"

Hearing what Ye Xiu said, Fang Rui heaved a sigh of relief, and quickly ordered to challenge.But in the last round, he didn't even make it to 20 seconds.

"Damn!!" He pushed the table vigorously and stared at Ye Xiu, "Have you vented enough?"

"Who vented." Ye Xiu casually quit the game and took the account card.

"Stubborn! Do you want to look at the statistics?!" Fang Rui complained angrily, "61 games, I only won 3 games, you want to torture me to death!"

"Hehe, you deserve it, I called you cheap~!" Ye Xiu smiled as if nothing happened.

Fang Rui didn't dare to irritate him with harsh words anymore, so he quickly changed the subject, "Call the boss quickly! Let's go have a big meal, Mr. Fang treats you, hahaha!"

"Give me the phone!" Ye Xiu reached for Fang Rui's phone.

Fang Rui quickly turned around holding the phone, "Use your own!"

"What are you being hypocritical about? My phone is out of battery!" Ye Xiu approached and snatched it, and dialed Chen Guo's phone number. "The user you dialed is not in the service area." Ye Xiu looked at Fang Rui puzzled, "Why are you the boss?"

"Huh? What's the situation?" Fang Rui was confused when asked.

"You were blocked by her, right? You're not in the service area! See for yourself!" Ye Xiu said, throwing the phone to Fang Rui, and picked up the landline.

"Hey! It's me!"

"I'll wait for you at the entrance of the hostel in 10 minutes!" Ye Xiu said softly, then hung up the phone, turned around and glanced at Fang Rui, and walked towards the door, "Let's go! What do you want me to eat?"

The corner of Fang Rui's mouth twitched, he got up and followed out, deliberately biting the words hard and clearly, "I invite you!"
