scapegoat

Lang Zhongming is very strange recently.

After the summer solstice, the weather gets hotter.Xiao Yang changed into short sleeves, and was nestling on the sofa with a bamboo pillow in his arms, thinking about where this strange Lang Zhongming came from.

This kind of ailment is first reflected in shopping preferences.

Lang Zhongming used to be an out-and-out workaholic. The things he bought online were either office supplies or for his family.

Now he just bought a new set of Sony cameras a few days ago, and today he got a VR set, all for himself.

Even Xiaofeng couldn't help sighing: "We are finally able to enjoy being the head of the family!"

Xiao Yang knew that Lang Zhongming had plans to abdicate, but judging from his recent movements, it seemed that he was not in a hurry to leave Hongsheng recently.

These things have been bought continuously, and I don't know if he has time to play.

Xiao Yang turned his head and thought, Lang Zhongming earned the money anyway, so he can spend it as he wants, so why should he worry about it?

But after the new camera equipment arrived, Lang Zhongming carried it up and down every day to take pictures of Xiao Yang like a treasure, which made him somewhat troubled.

But thanks to the new equipment, he got used to the feeling of being stared at by the camera, and the fear he felt a while ago disappeared.

After getting the VR, Lang Zhongming sat cross-legged on the open space in front of the big screen in the living room, studying how to connect several devices.

Xiao Yang sat on the sofa and saw that he had been messing around for almost an afternoon, but he didn't know what the fun was.

Lang Zhongming seemed to have finally settled everything, turned his head and smiled at Xiao Yang: "A few friends plan to go to the forest park tonight, are you going?"

Just as Xiao Yang was about to refuse, Lang Zhongming added: "Molly and the others will go too."

It's true that I haven't seen Molly for a while. This girl played crazy with Ke Chen on the prairie and didn't want to come back. She was arrested and brought back to City C by her family's elders last week.

"OK then."

Lang Zhongming smiled and showed his white teeth: "They are all familiar friends, so don't be cautious."

In fact, Xiao Yang felt it. During this period of time, Lang Zhongming was always trying to change him with tricks.From taking pictures of him with a camera every day to often making excuses to take him to lively places to play, they all wanted to erase the shadow in his heart.

That being the case, then he will let nature take its course.

After dinner, a group of people gathered outside the forest park.

I haven't seen her for a while, Xiao Yang thinks that Molly is tanned, and Molly thinks that Xiao Yang has gained weight.When the two got together, they chatted immediately, neither Ke Chen nor Lang Zhongming could get in their mouths.

The other people in the same company were also very casual, and after a chat, the atmosphere gradually became warmer.

There is a special kind of fish distributed in the water system here, and in a certain season, they will lie drunk in groups in the water, which is a unique scene.

Molly and Xiao Yang popularized the principle of this strange fish, saying that the fish ate the rhododendron petals floating on the lake, and they all fell drunk in the water.

Xiao Yang listened fascinatedly, and Lang Zhongming followed behind, pulling Ke Chen to speak.

The scenery of Forest Park really lives up to its reputation.

Looking up is the Milky Way star belt that is close at hand, and the soft and fragrant soil is under the feet. Fish and shrimps swim in the clear stream flowing by, and even the air is comfortable.

When we reached the water's edge, everyone dispersed freely.

Small street lamps are installed around it, petals are scattered on the water surface, and there are small floating fishes with strange looks, and other fish species shuttle among them and swim leisurely.

Xiao Yang looked at the plants and trees in front of him in novelty, feeling the magic of nature.

This forest park is located in the city, and it is open to local residents for free, but they are staggered by the mundane world and never thought of coming to play.

Today, whether it is the scenery or the friends who are not close friends, it makes people feel happy.

Lang Zhongming walked up to Xiao Yang and said, "This kind of spectacle will disappear after July, but in autumn the whole forest will be a different scene, and it's quite beautiful. If you want to see, we can take a vacation and drive here."

Xiao Yang turned his head and asked Molly, "Are you coming?"

This is the first time Xiao Yang took the initiative to ask out a friend. Of course Molly would not refuse: "Okay~ But you have to tell me in advance, otherwise we might go out to play again."

Ke Chen smiled helplessly from behind: "Hey my little ancestor, where do you want to go again?"

Molly tilted her head: "I haven't thought about it yet, let's talk about it."

Lang Zhongming looked at Xiao Yang, as if he was also asking him if he wanted to go out for a walk.

Xiao Yang didn't move, but continued to turn his head to see the scene of the fish and the flowers getting drunk together.

This person looks calm and smooth, but in fact his mouth is very poisonous, but his heart is very soft...

Lang Zhongming thought about all kinds of things about Xiao Yang, and his eyes seemed to be filled with light spots cast by the stars and the moon.

At the moment, no one came to bother, even Molly and Ke Chen went for a walk along the river arm in arm.

Sometimes the world is so big that it can hold mountains and rivers, but sometimes it is so small that there is only one person in front of you.Xiao Yang looked at the fish, Lang Zhongming looked at Xiao Yang, and the surroundings were unbelievably quiet.

It was late at night, and the wind picked up, and the rest of the people returned one after another, calling Xiao Yang and Lang Zhongming to leave together.

The night was pleasant, and Xiao Yang fell asleep on the way back.There was soft music playing in the car, Lang Zhongming hummed while listening, and with the sleeping person beside him, he always felt that the most fulfilling life was nothing more than this.

The past 20 years have been in vain. He only hopes that in the next few decades, he can be as satisfied every day as he is now.

When Lang Zhongming stopped the car, Xiao Yang just woke up.

The two entered the door together, and Xiaofeng warmed up a supper for them.Xiao Yang thought to himself: Molly said today that he gained weight, is it because of the supper?

But the current life makes Xiao Yang feel comfortable, and he cherishes it very much. If you get fatter, just get fatter. What's the big deal?

The two sat down to eat and chat, Xiaofeng asked them if the scenery of the forest park was good, and planned to take his girlfriend to see the night scenery.

After eating supper and digesting for a while, they went back to sleep.

The next day, of course Xiao Yang stayed in bed.

Lang Zhongming didn't dare to call him himself, so he sent Xiaofeng up, and said that he would be "subsidized by anger" in return.

It's a pity that Xiaofeng is also soft-tempered. In the end, Lang Zhongming spent the subsidy, but was still dragged by Xiao Yang to be late.

There was a meeting early this morning, and according to the plan, Xiao Yang was going to give a speech at this meeting.

When they hurried to the meeting room, everyone else was already sitting in their seats and waiting.Lang Zhongming put the things on the table neatly: "I just discussed some details with Director Xiao, and I'm late, everyone forgive me."

After swallowing his breakfast in the car, Xiao Yang, who rushed over again, rolled his eyes silently: So this is how he deceived his subordinates.

However, the temporary change made him a little less nervous, and he quickly got into the mood when he was called up by Lang Zhongming to speak.

The PPT was revised according to Lang Zhongming's suggestion. The black background and yellow characters are used to make it very clear, and the amount of text is much less. At the same time, many charts have been added to it, which is more intuitive.

According to the main points shown on the PPT, Xiao Yang elaborated in combination with charts, and explained a complex data system in a logical and easy-to-understand manner.

The people below also took out their notebooks one after another, and spontaneously wrote down a lot of important points on it.

After Xiao Yang finished speaking, everyone present applauded with dignity, and the applause lasted for a long time.

The department manager who used to be sarcastic in front of Xiao Yang also said bluntly: "It's the first time I know that sorting out materials is also learned, and I was really short-sighted before."

Xiao Yang just pretended to be quite at ease, but now that he sat down to accept the applause, his face turned red instantly.

Lang Zhongming held back his laughter and stood up to conclude his statement, diverting everyone's attraction away.

On that day, everyone clearly felt that Director Xiao's temper was even more explosive than usual. Basically, everyone who approached the reference room would be slapped in the face. .

The number of times increased, and soon the true nature of the salesmen began to be exposed, and rumors gradually spread: "Director Xiao from the data department is super fun, hurry up and make fun of me!"

Lang Zhongming, as the No. 1 person who found out that this person has a thin skin and easy-to-explode attributes, has just supported his head and watched happily for a whole day, without even losing face.

Su Huiyun said: An idiot, a bomb, a bunch of idiots, and a black-bellied salesman... sooner or later, this company will be disbanded.

After work in the evening, Lang Zhongming also conveyed to Xiao Yang the admiration of many middle and high-level executives for this "Director Xiao". Xiao Yang listened to it all the way in embarrassment, and when he got home, his face was ready for fried eggs.

Xiaofeng asked for leave again to accompany his girlfriend, and Lang Zhongming took the opportunity to cook and show off his pastry skills, euphemistically calling it "celebrating the successful completion of the speech".

Eating Lang Zhongming's homemade blueberry Napoleon and watching a movie on his own giant screen, this scene gave Xiao Yang the illusion of "two people living together", and immediately got goosebumps all over his body.

In the evening, Lang Zhongming invited Xiao Yang to experience his newly bought VR.

For some reason, Xiao Yang always felt that his expression was a little weird, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

Lang Zhongming helped Xiao Yang put on his glasses.

A very strange room suddenly appeared before Xiao Yang's eyes.

Lang Zhongming's voice appeared next to his ears: "This is the interior scene of the new house simulated according to the decoration plan you made before. You can operate it and walk a little bit inside."

In Xiao Yang's hand was the joystick Lang Zhongming gave him.

He tried to move, feeling a little dizzy for a moment.It took a while to get used to it.

The layout of the entire room was indeed completely in accordance with the decoration plan he had set, and some other elements were even added.

For example, the asparagus on the windowsill, the hanging basket, and the big tank of goldfish in the corner of the living room.

Xiao Yang walked around, going in and taking a look in every room. This experience was extremely novel.

Lang Zhongming explained at the side: "I originally wanted to buy a treadmill. You can actually walk around without using a joystick, but it seems that the technology is not yet mature, so I didn't dare to buy it."

Xiao Yang said softly, "This is pretty good too."

Lang Zhongming smiled: "Have you gone to the kitchen? Go and see, there is a surprise."

Xiao Yang walked towards what should be the kitchen, and soon saw "Lang Zhongming"—a virtual one, of course—beating eggs in it, wearing his family apron.

He also had a booklet by his hand, which contained manual tutorials for various cakes, and the one he turned to at this moment was the one he made the day before.

Lang Zhongming: "I took it before, and it turned out pretty good in VR, so I added this section. Let's go to your bedroom to see it."

Xiao Yang slowly "went upstairs" and came to the bedroom.

The bedroom is based on the layout of his current room, but it's not as spacious.

There was a photo album on the table, Xiao Yang stepped forward, and a small icon of "Open" appeared on the screen.

Xiao Yang pressed the button, and the photo album was opened.

On the first few pages are his previous photos, most of which are found in his own collection of books, and some are group photos taken in school or award-winning photos.

In the past, he didn't have many opportunities to take pictures, but in every one that Lang Zhongming picked, he was always smiling.

Xiao Yang's heart was touched.

Scrolling down, the photo became a dynamic, it should be a video taken by Lang Zhongming recently with a camera.

These dynamic photos are all of Xiao Yang reading, eating, playing with his mobile phone, and in a daze, sometimes near and sometimes far away, some of which Xiao Yang doesn't even remember.

Lang Zhongming recorded these daily situations bit by bit, and organized them into a book in this way.

Xiao Yang felt that his breathing was a little tight.

Lang Zhongming's voice came softly, he was not close, but he was beside him: "Shall I help you take off your glasses?"

Xiao Yang nodded, and then the things in front of him were removed, and the screen returned to Lang Zhongming's living room.

Lang Zhongming looked at Xiao Yang, then slowly knelt down on one knee.

He was holding a big envelope in his hand, his hands were still trembling, and he half-raised it in front of Xiao Yang.

"You... don't be nervous, cough... I just want to ask for a chance... Let's try together? Let's try first? This is all my property, it's all here, look... ah no ……for you!"

Lang Zhongming said it nervously, because he was afraid that Xiao Yang would say the word "scroll".

Xiao Yang was silent for a long time, watching Lang Zhongming's head whirl, not knowing how to react.

At the end, he said in a dry voice, "Then try it first."

Lang Zhongming paused for a moment, then jumped up and hugged Xiao Yang fiercely.

Xiao Yang was a little confused, but he didn't resist.

Lang Zhongming let go of the man carefully, and asked in his ear: "How is the effect of the VR I made?"

In fact, he wanted to ask Xiao Yangxi if he liked his confession, but he was afraid of being looked down upon, so he could only ask Xiao Yang's heart in a roundabout way.

Xiao Yang: "So the actual sofa is so ugly, why don't you change it?"

Lang Zhongming: "...Oh."

The author has something to say:

This is the end~ There are still three extra chapters (it turns out that it is wiser not to be doubled. I am a late-stage procrastinator... I have saved more than 10 chapters and barely survived to the end)

After the episode is over, I will put a complete one on the scarf~Although there is only a little scum...【The top squirrel mandarin fish escapes】
