Mindful

Liang Cheng, who had always been calm and self-reliant, unexpectedly had an oolong.

After Qiao Yuanlin saw it through, he seemed to be smiling but not smiling, full of pride in taking advantage of others, he stepped on Liang Cheng from the bed wrapped in a down jacket, pushed him back, and asked, "Isn't it pretty?"

Liang Cheng pretended to be calm and said, "It looks good."

Qiao Yuanlin folded his arms around his chest and asked again, "Don't you want to explain?"

Liang Cheng knew he was wrong, raised his hand to wipe off the sweat from Qiao Yuanlin's nose, and said, "It's so thick, Ping Hai probably can't wear it."

"Don't change the subject." Qiao Yuanlin stared at him slightly, "What are you suspecting in such a surprise inspection? What do you mean?"

Tian Yu went in without knowing it, but he felt that there was something tricky between the two people, so he quietly moved to the bathroom door.

As he was opening the door, Liang Cheng admitted, "I'm jealous."

This scene is so familiar, but the roles have been reversed, and Qiao Yuanlin's mind instantly flashed his own appearance back then.

Liang Cheng confessed to him: "Ever since I heard your voice last night, I've been guessing wildly. I suffered from insomnia at night. I haven't had a good day all day. I was so entangled with getting off work that everyone left. Then I came to the door on impulse."

Tian Yu couldn't help it, and asked aloud, "Assistant Liang, what's your relationship with Yuanshen?"

Liang Cheng replied: "I am his boyfriend."

"My mother!" Tian Yu jumped up in shock, looking at this and that, "You guys are serious! Then you were back then, damn it, the teacher-student relationship was by my side?!"

Qiao Yuanlin thought he interrupted: "Not back then!"

Liang Cheng said: "So I cherish it now."

Qiao Yuanlin's unhappiness vanished without a trace, his heart softened from the moment Liang Cheng admitted "jealousy", he let go of his arms and stepped forward, but was suddenly held down by Tian Yu.

"Calm down, I understand, I understand everything." Tian Yuheng intervened between the two, "Assistant Liang, please don't get me wrong. My relationship with Yuanshen is pure and flawless. I am a straight man."

Liang Cheng shoved the light bulb aside and said, "It doesn't matter if you are crooked."

Qiao Yuanlin took off his down jacket and asked, "Then tonight..."

"Have fun." Liang Cheng said, "If you don't think I'm corny, let me be the audience."

Tian Yu wanted to show off his work, the more people the better, he turned on the machine, he introduced the game settings, circulation, and emphasized the status of post-production.

Liang Cheng didn't know much about it, he didn't touch any games, and his life was difficult from childhood to adulthood, there was no such thing as entertainment.Therefore, there is no condition for the age that loves to play. Now that I am close to Erli, I don’t understand these things, otherwise today’s jokes would not be made.

After listening, Qiao Yuanlin admired: "At the same table, you are so amazing."

Liang Cheng felt a little unbalanced again, and said, "Isn't the essence just fighting and killing?"

Tian Yu said: "Assistant Liang, don't be jealous, I'm actually more interested in you than Yuan Shen."

Liang Cheng thought about it, when Tian Yu added him to WeChat and took the trouble to invite him to play basketball together, he blocked it directly.

It is similar to a general large-scale game, with intense sound effects, punk graphics, and ordinary post-processing is not obvious.

Qiao Yuanlin doesn't play many games and is very good at it, but he likes the feeling of being a character, running and jumping, and experiencing things that cannot be done in reality.

The two of them had a good time playing, Liang Cheng sat on the head of the bed and was left out, looking for a sense of presence: "Tian Yu, are you on a business trip when you come back to China?"

Tian Yu: "Yes."

Liang Cheng asked: "Do you want to cooperate with a domestic game company?"

"It's not a game." Tian Yu manipulated the keyboard proficiently, "Hey, I actually switched from a production company to a dedicated post-production team, and I'm going to participate in a documentary this time."

If it was filmed in China, Qiao Yuanlin immediately said, "It will be broadcast on a TV station, which channel will it be on?"

Tian Yu denied: "It seems that it will not be broadcast in China. Part of it has been filmed in the United States, and part of it needs to be filmed in Pinghai."

"For transnational documentaries, we can show our international program." Qiao Yuanlin was more concerned than the head of the TV station, "What subject matter?"

"That's amazing." Tian Yu said, "A biography of a biologist, the one who just won the award in the United States, have you heard of it? This documentary is about the research work before and after the award."

Qiao Yuanlin almost threw the mouse away and was taken aback: "An, Andrew?!"

After playing the game for only 10 minutes, Qiao Yuanlin's attention was completely diverted from the documentary, and he asked Tian Yu to ask questions.It's a pity that Tian Yu doesn't know much at the moment. He is only a member of the team in charge of the later stage, and he has an employment relationship with the producer of the documentary.

Liang Cheng was even less interested, and fell asleep on the bed before he knew it.

Because of this incident, Qiao Yuanlin was secretly excited for several days, although he had nothing to do with him.When he went to work on Monday, he ran for interviews as usual, and submitted a leave note before leaving get off work.

At night, there were only him and Qiao Wenyuan at home. After the family reorganization, the father and son were alone for the first time, and they were not quite used to it. Qiao Wenyuan simply went into the study and catted.

Qiao Yuanlin was writing a manuscript in the living room, and there was a thunderstorm, and the rain in late autumn turned cold, so he didn't bother to get up, so he sent Qiao Wenyuan a WeChat message: Auntie, did you bring an umbrella?

Qiao Yuanlin listened to the sound of a phone call coming from the study, and after hanging up, he sent another message: Auntie is on duty tonight?

Qiao Wenyuan came out of the study and said, "You can ask her yourself if you care so much."

Qiao Yuanlin put away the phone in resentment. For the role of "mother", he had long since dared to make a phone call full of expectations, for fear of getting bored.Probably his mother gave him the disease.

Qiao Wenyuan went back to his room to take a bath, and the living room was silent for a moment with the sound of pattering rain. After Qiao Yuanlin finished writing the manuscript, he lay on the sofa with a pillow to kill time.

At ten o'clock, a taxi stopped in front of the building, and he got up and took an umbrella and went out to meet him.

There was something to do in the Maternal and Child Health Hospital, and He Jie wasn't sure what time it would be finished, so she didn't let Qiao Wenyuan pick her up, got out of the car, and was a little surprised to see Qiao Yuanlin stepping on the rainwater in her slippers.

The umbrella tilted, and Qiao Yuanlin opened his mouth.

He Jie took his arm and said first, "Thank you son."

Qiao Yuanlin was in a trance for a moment, the word "son" blurred the blood relationship, so close, so natural, he felt embarrassed, and walked home with his head twitched slightly.

Qiao Wenyuan went into the kitchen to heat up the food. He Jie seemed exhausted and didn't change her clothes. She poured a cup of hot tea at the dining table to cover herself.

Qiao Yuanlin saw a sense of depression, and asked concerned: "Auntie, are you alright?"

He Jie withdrew her lost thoughts and replied confidingly: "Women and children have a two-day-old baby who was abandoned."

Qiao Yuanlin understood the other party's emotions and asked, "What about that child?"

"Call the police, if you can't find your parents, you can only send them to a welfare agency."

Qiao Yuanlin comforted in a low voice: "Maybe there will be a good family to adopt, and there will be a pair of parents who really love their children. I know you think of Liang Cheng. Although there is nothing bad in your experience, it is not your fault."

He Jie looked at him gratefully, and said: "I used to get into the wrong place occasionally. If Liang Cheng's parents hadn't abandoned him, what kind of life would he have had?"

"what about now?"

He Jie said: "I don't want to think about it now, I will love him well, love you."

Qiao Yuanlin was unprepared, and a little embarrassed, said: "I am quite happy... By the way, I have always been curious, why is Liang Cheng's surname Liang?"

He Jie replied, "His biological mother's surname is Liang."

The newborn baby was discarded on a hospital bench, with a note written "Liang Cheng" left in the swaddle, and the mother was nowhere to be found.

Qiao Wenyuan didn't show up with the tray, Qiao Yuanlin and He Jie looked at each other and did not continue the conversation tacitly.

The next day, Qiao Yuanlin asked for leave and didn't go to the TV station. He went to a star hotel near the IFC early in the morning.

This is the commercial center of Pinghai City where every inch of land is expensive. There are endless streams of luxury cars, and the people coming and going in the hotel lobby are extraordinarily glamorous.

Qiao Yuanlin found a seat in a semi-open cafe, and opened a book related to oncology. The subtitle of the book was a string of proper nouns, which he couldn't understand after reading it three times.

He is here for a short stay. Tian Yu is attending the preparatory meeting in the conference hall of the hotel. It is said that Andrew will be present when he arrives in Pinghai today.

Qiao Yuanlin thought, since God let him know, he must seize the opportunity to give it a try, otherwise Yimin will regret it.

It is not without his self-knowledge that Octopus cannot handle this kind of news, and it does not match the positioning of the program.But the news center has many high-quality columns. If Andrew can be interviewed, he can contact Boss Sun to do it.

If Andrew refused, he would be honored enough to meet a great scientist.

Qiao Yuanlin took a sip of coffee contentedly, and just as he opened the cover, he received a message on WeChat.

Liang Cheng: You took a book from me?

Qiao Yuanlin: Well, do you need it urgently?

Liang Cheng: No hurry.Don't lose it, it's hard to buy.

Qiao Yuanlin: Okay, I will put it back for you tomorrow.

Liang Cheng: Can you understand?

Because Andrew's research direction is oncology, Qiao Yuanlin chose it to his liking and just used it as a pretense. He replied: Watching the excitement is similar to watching a sketch.

The conference hall is on the [-]th floor. Tian Yu took a break midway and said that Andrew hadn't come yet, and that the assistant in the research room was currently in charge.

Qiao Yuanlin waited patiently. It was raining outside. The marble floor tiles in the hotel were wet with the soles of the shoes, and the cleaning staff kept cleaning them.

The coffee lost its temperature, and a row of clocks on the wall showing the time of various countries ticked away. The men passing by were old and young, fashionable, and in suits and leather shoes. Qiao Yuanlin looked at each of them.

He had a sore back and aching back from sitting, so he got up and walked around to exercise his muscles and bones. In the afternoon, a group of guests who checked in were ushered in.

The limousines lined up at the entrance of the hotel, and the waiters skillfully opened the doors and took the luggage. After a while, a taxi slowly stopped.

A middle-aged woman and an old lady got out of the car. It is estimated that the mother and daughter came to Pinghai for tourism.

The water stains on the floor tiles hadn’t been wiped off just now, and there was no revolving door. The woman fell behind and lowered her head to make a phone call. The old lady walked forward alone, slipping and shaking.

Qiao Yuanlin stood not far away, stepped forward to support him in time, and said, "Old man, be careful."

The woman hung up the phone and caught up. She was dressed in simple and comfortable clothes, but her demeanor was not approachable. She even said seriously, "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Qiao Yuanlin couldn't help turning around to look.

The woman helped the old lady to leave. She didn't go to the front desk to check in. She probably wanted to find a seat to rest and walked towards the cafe.

Qiao Yuanlin put his hands in his pockets, and suddenly realized that something was missing...

He forgot to take that book!

There weren't many customers in the cafe, and Qiao Yuanlin's seat was at the edge, making it even more deserted. The woman just passed by the table and saw the books on the table stop.

The old lady said, "Did someone leave behind?"

The woman said nothing, picked it up and opened the cover, and there was a name written on the title page.

At this time Qiao Yuanlin came back, first he was glad that the book was not lost, and then felt that this book might be really hard to buy, or it might be out of print, otherwise how could the other party be stunned.

He said: "Hello, this book is mine."

The woman looked up at him and asked, "Your name is Liang Cheng?"

Before Qiao Yuanlin could answer, a foreign man came running from the elevator. He looked earnestly like an assistant to the boss. When he came to him, he gasped and took a steady breath.

The woman stared at Qiao Yuanlin, but ignored her.

The foreign man didn't know why, and asked, "Andrew, are you okay?"
