under one roof

Yang Jian tilted his head slightly.

Yu Chen looked up at Yang Jian, seeing that Yang Jian didn't speak, he waved his hands and said with a smile: "Look, if I'm sincere, wouldn't I be very hurt now? I'm just giving an example, you don't have to be too nervous. How long have we known each other? How could there be such a strange idea."

Yang Jian said, "I'm not nervous."

Seeing that his expression was indeed as usual, Yu Chen felt that he was also very self-indulgent at the level of explanation, so he continued to tear down the wall to make up for the other in embarrassment: "Oh, I forgot, you are a god, you have lived for so long, and you have seen so many things. There are big winds and big waves, and I probably don’t feel much about these little things.”

"When he brought you back, Ao Lie said that your only soul is very strange." Yang Jian said, "He said that you probably like it..."

"Stop, stop!" Yu Chen hurriedly interrupted Yang Jian, "Aren't we here to work? Why are we discussing my own personality? Can you give me some privacy!"

Yang Jian walked to the window, looked outside, and said, "It won't be long before we reach the open sea."

"It sounds like a gangster movie." Yu Chen said, "Casinos, illegal transactions, murders and so on."

Yang Jian said thoughtfully: "Maybe, is it more troublesome than this?"

Yu Chen thought carefully and fearfully, and said: "A group of technical people... probably won't come up with anything else."

"I don't know." Yang Jian smiled and patted Yu Chen's shoulder, "I'll go first, see you tonight."

"Oh."

The time of the banquet was set at [-]:[-] pm. The luxurious cruise ship sailed on the endless night sea like a lonely whale, but the banquet hall was lively and brightly lit.

Yu Chen doesn't like to socialize, he looks for something to eat alone, he finds that in this situation, everyone seems to be like a dog, and he can't see what kind of story behind everyone.He swallowed a piece of snack, and suddenly saw Zhang Jun in the crowd.There was no one around Zhang Jun, Yu Chen walked over quietly, patted Zhang Jun's back from behind, Zhang Jun looked around, and asked in a low voice: "Why are you here?"

"I'm here to participate in the competition." Yu Chen said, "I'm short of money recently."

Zhang Jun said with a smile: "With your ability, will you not be able to find a job?"

"I just want to take a break!" Yu Chen talked to Zhang Jun as he did a few years ago, and then said to Zhang Jun as if thinking of something, "Let me ask you, I heard that her father recruited her before. Mom didn't actually ask the company for money, did she give it in the end?"

Zhang Jun seemed to have almost forgotten about it, and thought about it for a while before saying: "I don't remember clearly. At that time, I just listened to the people from the public relations department to gossip casually. Hey, maybe it's their public relations method. How about not passing on the pressure of public opinion?"

Yu Chen asked again: "Then have you visited her house?"

"Things have passed for so long, what else is there to see?" Zhang Jun said, "Who has what skills now."

"Oh, I see." Yu Chen replied dully.He knew it was such a result, but he didn't expect that most people in the world are so indifferent. After the novelty, no matter how the story turns out to be a flower, no one will read it again.Thinking of these, Yu Chen felt helpless and sad again.

"There are quite a lot of masters this year." Zhang Jun said, "Do you still remember Rong Pu? He is also here."

Yu Chen's heart skipped a beat, and he smiled stiffly and said, "Ah... senior brother is here too."

"He also came alone." Zhang Jun said, "But since he left, we haven't seen each other for a long time. I don't know how he is developing now."

Yu Chen didn't want to continue this topic, so he went to find something to eat and left, turned around and disappeared into the crowd.

There was a crowd of people in the distance, Yu Chen watched for a while boredly, only to find that it was a group of female reporters surrounding Yang Jian.Tonight was a formal occasion, so Yang Jian naturally dressed up to attend, answering the script that Ao Lie had prepared for him one by one, very calm.He was already extremely handsome, but now he was the focus of everyone, as if he was a god who had fallen into the mortal world.

No, he is God.

The more Yu Chen looked at it, the more he liked it, his eyes seemed to be fascinated.He is presumably the epitome of a superficial human being, fond of the glossy essence.He was afraid that his eyes would be too revealing, so he forcibly retracted them, so he could only stuff the food in front of him to the inside and distract all his attention.

At the hour, the lights gradually went out, and the person in charge of the organizer slowly appeared on the stage. The chairman of WHHC is a middle-aged man. Every year, he will give an opening speech for the WHHC competition and announce the special prizes for this year's champion except bonuses.With his appearance, a square pillar was raised in the center of the stage, with a glass cover on it, and the spotlights hit it, exuding an incomparably warm light.

"Welcome to WHHC, everyone." The chairman said, "In the past year, everyone here may have taken another big step forward in scientific and technological civilization, and may also turn the world's information security network upside down. But this is not important, in WHHC, all of you will justifiably show your talents to the world. This year, the special prize we have prepared for the winners is——” The light beam lit up, and everyone saw what was inside the glass cover, “This is what I did half a year ago. A piece of beautiful jade I got from traveling abroad, I named it Yuxin."

This is probably an incomparable treasure, a small piece of jade exudes an incomparable gentle brilliance, as if the eyes would be absorbed into it.No matter how ignorant you are, you can still feel that this drop-shaped jade pendant should be very expensive, and everyone applauds.

After Yu Chen saw it clearly, his jaw almost fell to the ground. Yang Jian walked around to him at some point, saw his dumbfounded look, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong? Haven't you seen anything good?"

"No, no, no..." Yu Chen stammered, "That... that is mine..."

"yours?"

"It's mine! I'll explain it to you later!" Yu Chen cursed secretly, "What the hell is this thing worth? I must have been tricked!"

After the lights turned on again, Yang Jian squinted his eyes and looked at the cabinets on the stand, took a breath and decided to talk later.He picked up the wine glass on the table, raised it lightly to Yu Chen, and said with a smile: "What's the matter to talk about tomorrow, why don't you have a drink?"

"Not very good at drinking." Yu Chen whispered.

"Ah." Yang Jian said, "Forget it."

In Yu Chen's view, it was a bit embarrassing to refuse someone else's invitation, especially if the other party was Yang Jian.He was dressed like an aristocratic gentleman, and he was so approachable that he wanted to have a drink with himself.Yu Chen bit his lip, picked up the wine glass on the table nearby, touched Yang Jian himself, and drank it down with his head raised.

"Duplicity." Yang Jian said with a smile.

Low-alcohol foreign wine reacts very slowly in the body, so that it was a while before Yu Chen felt a little dizzy.It's not good for Yang Jian to be too intimate with him, as if he had greeted and chatted a few words before leaving.Yu Chen felt bored here, so he strolled to the deck outside.

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and the sea breeze is blowing.

Yu Chen's hands rested on the guardrail, his eyes looked out of focus at the sea pushed away by the ship, and with the wind blowing in front of him, he felt his mind clearer.The sea breeze was cold, and it brought a little warmth to his reddish cheeks when it passed by.Yu Chen loosened his tie, and the wind gushed into his neck.

"Little Yu?"

A clear and gentle male voice sounded from behind.

Yu Chen turned his head slowly, his back was facing the moonlight, the sea breeze messed up his hair, but the light clearly illuminated the other party's face.

"Rong... Rong Gong."

"Isn't it called Senior Brother?" Rong Pu smiled, "It's been a long time since we last met."

Yu Chen lowered his head, and there was silence between the two of them for a while, he felt embarrassed, so he casually asked, "Why are you here?"

Rong Pu said: "I think our purpose of coming here should be the same." When he smiled, his eyes were bent, and he was extremely gentle and intimate.He walked to Yu Chen's side, leaned against the railing relaxedly, and asked, "How are you doing?"

Yu Chen said: "It's pretty good. I quit my job and want to take a break."

Rong Pu asked: "Aren't you planning to go out for a walk? I used to see you holding back in the laboratory, looking like a good student."

Yu Chen smiled stiffly: "I have nothing else to do, I can only write codes every day. What about you? What have you been doing recently?"

"Do what I can do." Rong Pu raised the corner of his mouth, obviously not wanting to answer this question in depth.He looked at Yu Chen's face carefully under the moonlight, and suddenly said in a low voice: "I think you haven't changed at all, you still have the youthful and innocent appearance just graduated from school."

"How is it possible." Yu Chen mostly avoided Rong Pu's gaze, "I'm not paying back."

"Have you been drinking?" Rong Pu asked.

Yu Chen let out an "eh", shook his head and said, "No."

Rong Pu said: "You can't drink it, why do you have to be brave?"

Yu Chen said: "I'm an adult now, and I know what I'm doing. How can I be brave or not? Do you have anything else to do? If not, I want to go back and rest." He didn't want to give Rong Pu continued to speak, and strode away.But Rong Pu said behind his back: "I know you have resentment towards me, but it's been so many years, there's really no need not to even give a chance to say hello. Xiaoyu, I think..."

"Brother." Yu Chen turned his head, "You are a very good person, I have always admired you since I was a student. Some things can go away with time, but on the premise that I don't think of anything .Now when I look at your face, I think of the stupid things I did back then. I think it bothered you a lot then, and it bothers me a lot now. I… ..." He lowered his head while talking, "It makes me feel that I am born shorter than you, as if I will never be able to lift my head up."

Rong Pu was silent for a moment, walked in front of Yu Chen, put his hand on the side of Yu Chen's face, and said: "How can there be a difference between you and me? No matter what, you are my junior brother, and it is only your fault at that time." Young, and so am I."

His tone was extremely gentle, and Yu Chen's heart was inevitably moved. He blinked his wet eyes and looked at Rong Pu, opened his mouth and said softly: "Senior brother..."

The sea breeze was sudden, the sea was turning up and the waves were slapping the water, and the dark clouds covered the moon. The faces of the two people were hidden in the darkness. Yu Chen hadn't reacted yet, only heard Yang Jian's voice from a distance.

"Yu Chen, what are you doing?"

The wind seemed to have blown away, the dark clouds dispersed, the sea level returned to calm, and the bright moon appeared again, a piece of light, and all this happened only in an instant.
