What Miss Bai messed up was the project where Tao Ran and Wei Fangcheng went on a business trip together.For more than half a month since then, Tao Ran was forced to spend more time working with him.Because the right-hand assistant was withdrawn midway, and the new child who came in did not know what his predecessor had committed, he thought the project was a dragon's pond and a tiger's lair, so he asked for instructions three times and reported four times a day with extra care, so the work progress was delayed again and again...

Gradually, Tao Ran felt that his irritability had accumulated to a very dangerous level.

In order to focus on dealing with negative emotions, he began to gradually resume the habit of going to the gym after get off work.Every time he went, he would first help the teacher to teach a class for one and a half hours, and in the last half an hour, two or three students with the best level would be left to fight against the teacher two by two.Every time it ends, and I return home exhausted, I can always feel a little more relaxed.

At the beginning, Chang Zheng said he wanted to learn, and followed him a few times. He really didn't like this kind of fierce close-to-body confrontation, so he gave up later.In short, whether it was watching him teach fighting, or teasing Chang Zheng to show him at home, it all ended in fun, and each other's hobbies were more charming.

Chang Zheng went on a business trip again, and after returning from the gymnasium and taking a shower, Tao Ran was so exhausted that he fell on his back on the bed, quietly recalling these joys of life alone, chatting for comfort.Work is really not worry-free, but fortunately, the love scene is quite proud. With Chang Zheng, a thoughtful and considerate confidant, at your fingertips, at least you can persuade yourself that work is for a better life.

Thoughts drifted here, Chang Zheng's good night call just happened to come in.

Seeing his name on the screen, Tao Ran unconsciously softened his voice, and used the hands-free as usual.

"It's been a long time since I've met a client who wants to talk so much. It's probably due to lack of communication with my family. I caught me and had to listen to him. We talked until this time after dinner...Are you going to sleep?"

This voice is really dominant, like velvet, like soft waves, it can always comfort people just right.

"Well, it's almost here. Today, a kid who has learned Taekwondo for many years came to the gymnasium. He felt very good about himself. He was convinced by me after 10 minutes on the mat. Before leaving, he dragged me and asked a lot of questions. I I can’t even leave if I want to.”

After a long day on their own, chatting on the phone for a while, saying good night to each other, is the most soothing moment for two people.Now that the conversation has come to this point, Chang Zheng followed suit: "Why, reminds you of Bai Manman?"

"..."

——Yes, earnest and sincere, isn't that the attitude that Bai Xiaomei is used to.

"By the way, when I mentioned her, I remembered something. Today, after I passed the airport security check, I happened to see Kant shopping in a jewelry store."

"...What a coincidence."

"What a coincidence, it's just too unfortunate. When I leave the office, I hate seeing people in the company, but our company has a lot of people on business trips, so when I see people in suits at the airport, I usually take a second look. Who knows? I really saw him."

Tao Ran has been so busy recently that he doesn't even have time to sigh, and the few remaining times are all dedicated to matters related to Bai Manman: "Well, it seems that they are really... what did he buy, platinum?"

Chang Zheng laughed lazily over there: "What should I say, I hope not?"

"Fake."

"Haha, I really didn't see it clearly, but I think it should be what you think. I happened to see the clerk packing for him, and a rose was specially put in the paper bag at the end."

Tao Ran endured it for a while, but couldn't help it: "Sure enough, I'm mentally retarded. Is it expensive to buy a ring at the airport?"

"Maybe I'm in a hurry? If I were Bai Manman, I must be reflecting on myself right now, whether I have lost my head in love recently. Apologizing at this time is actually useless. It's better to do it in one step and just start."

"Oh? When it's useless to apologize, just start?"

Chang Zheng knew that he was referring to the hug with obvious intentions not long ago, and the night of fun that followed, so he followed with a smile and said, "Why, I didn't serve you well?"

Tao Ran smiled silently, grabbed Chang Zheng's pillow and rubbed it into his arms: "Okay, very good, I'll wait for you to come back and continue. Speaking of serving, my shoulder and neck have been uncomfortable for the past two days. I want to buy a massager , do you know which brand is reliable?"

"I bought a portable one last year. It was pretty good, but I lost it when I took it out once. I can't remember the brand name. You can log in to my account and go directly to the app to see the order record."

After being together for a long time, many of Chang Zheng's personal belongings have gradually been left with Tao Ran, including the tablet he usually holds for checking funds and online shopping.The two bought things on behalf of each other quite a few times, Tao Ran didn't even think about it, so he agreed.

Who knew that if I looked at the tablet before going to bed, I could really see what was going on.

If you want to say that he is not interested in Chang Zheng's past life, it must be a lie.Tao Ran followed his words and placed an order for a shoulder and neck massager. After two or three seconds of mental struggle, his thumb hanging on the screen still fell down, and he slid the purchase record to the bottom.

It seems that he is used to buying those few categories online. Paper towels, egg whites/powder, and coffee beans all appear repeatedly according to the time rule. A very strange specialty.

When he spent the night at Chang Zheng’s place before, he saw a well-preserved drone remote control, and casually asked where the machine was, Chang Zheng’s answer at the time was “broken”.

The main body is broken, but the remote control is kept upside down. This is not something he can do.Tao Ran looked back to look for his eyes, Chang Zheng walked out of the room on the pretext of making a phone call, and he never mentioned it again.

Looking carefully at the time, it turned out that it was when Chang Zheng was still living in the city where he was studying at university.This can be matched.Probably he is not the one who likes aerial photography, nor is the owner of Porridge Porridge.

Anyway, it's an old story, so let's forget about it. What really caught Tao Ran's eyes was the box of sugared garlic.

Chang Zheng never touches garlic, but the specialty of his province is sweet garlic, especially the one produced in the capital city of the province is the most famous.Tao Ran once joked that he would bring two packs next time he went home, and Chang Zheng even joked that he was not allowed to eat.He can smell the garlic even if it's a little bit smaller, so he doesn't eat it, and he doesn't allow people around him to touch it.

A person's physical aversion to a certain food is a very real reaction. Chang Zheng's level of retching after eating should indeed be like this since he was a child.

So why did Wu Guizhou, who was living with Chang Zheng in the far north, travel thousands of miles to buy so much sugar and garlic?

Although Chang Zheng asked him to read this record, it was enough to show that he was very frank in his heart, but after all, Tao Ran saw something unexpected and felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Everyone knows that eyes should look forward, but jealousy is a devil, but no one can hide from it.A few days ago, I was still struggling with Chang Zheng's seriousness, but after a few days, I realized that I also started to become abnormal, and actually went to eat the jealousy of my first love who had died a long time ago.Tao Ran felt that there was a little hedgehog stuffed in his heart, but at the same time he really didn't want Chang Zheng to find out his mood swings, so he had to arrange himself to be more busy, and use the few days when Chang Zheng hadn't come back to quickly digest this thought by himself.

However, in his life, there is another Wu family, far more real than this Wu Guizhou who is like a shadow.

After five o'clock in the afternoon on Friday, Tao Ran suddenly received a call from Wu Yueyin. He said in a concise and concise manner that he happened to pass by him after a meeting outside and told him to go downstairs immediately.

Wearing a black waist dress, standing tall and straight in front of the glass wall in the lobby, Tao Ran saw this silhouette at first glance, and almost thought that time was turned back, and he suddenly remembered that when he just graduated and reported to the company, he saw Wu Yueyin for the first time. scene.With this nostalgia, his eyes became warmer because of this, Wu Yueyin turned around, and couldn't help smiling when he handed him coffee.

"If you have to work overtime, go downstairs to buy an iced latte at five or six o'clock. I remember your habit correctly."

Tao Ran reached out to pick it up, and motioned her to walk towards the sofa in the corner together: "Well, Shaobing is also right. How do you know that I will have to work overtime soon?"

"Last time I was going to leave Xun Yan to take care of you for a few days, but you temporarily said that a child in the company got into trouble, and you didn't know what to do next, and asked me to find someone else to take care of you... It's only been over a week , I guess you didn't get this done so quickly."

She is an old acquaintance, and she is also the former boss. She also fought side by side when reporting to her before. Tao Ran didn't want to hide his exhaustion: "Oh, I think I may not be suitable for leading people. I always feel that I should do everything I also gave her time to practice, and then she will get better and better, I didn't expect this basket to be stabbed so suddenly by me."

Wu Yueyin looked at him and smiled: "Don't you know about office romances? There's no way a girl her age can handle them well."

"Boss Wu is scolding me?"

Wu Yueyin was teased by him and smiled: "I don't have the time to spare. I didn't scold you at the beginning, so why would I come all the way to scold you now? You can do it yourself. I reminded you before, Xu Yuan is a temper that comes out and comes out, it's too unreliable, have you listened to it?"

By lowering his head and drinking his latte, Tao Ran avoided her teasing gaze: "When did that happen, why haven't you forgotten it yet?"

"Okay, okay, I won't mention it." Seeing that his skin is still so thin, Wu Yueyin accepted it as soon as he saw it: "Come back to business, I just stopped by to ask you. Did he send a thank you gift?"

"My parents gave away things at first, but they confiscated them. Later, I asked my brother and said that the teacher does not accept valuables, so my mother made pastries and sent them over. He was very happy to accept them."

Wu Yueyin nodded: "I think that's the way to do it. People who don't lack anything can only see the sincerity."

"How are your kids doing recently? Have you had a good few days after the exam?"

"What are you playing? I had a little cough before. I was exposed to the rain a few days ago and developed a fever for no reason. The doctor said it was pneumonia."

Tao Ran was a little surprised: "Why did you get pneumonia? Is it so easy for children to get pneumonia? You and your husband are both so busy, can you take care of them? Do you want me to go and see him?"

The fast-talking Ms. Wu was silent for a very rare moment, then sighed softly, and looked directly into Tao Ran's eyes: "My younger brother happens to be on vacation, so I'll ask him to bring my mother to relax and help us take care of the child. You Or don't..."

Tao Ran raised his hand to stop her talking, and immediately said, "I see."

After finishing all the questions I wanted to ask, and also visiting friends who worked overtime for several days, Wu Yueyin said that the purpose of this trip had been achieved, so he left soon.Tao Ran watched her drift away, and suddenly felt that after the ice cubes melted, the taste of the latte became too bland.

If there is too much water to a certain extent, the coffee will always be unsatisfactory.Just like the minutiae about Wu Guizhou, they are everywhere, so much that he can hardly ignore them.

Before turning around to go upstairs, he raised his hand, and the plastic cup half full of drink drew an arc, and fell into the trash can with a swipe.
