West coast

For a week, Lin Nan seemed to be avoiding Qin Chuan intentionally or unintentionally.

Every morning when Qin Chuan woke up, Lin Nan, who lived in the next bedroom, had already gone to work.For some reason, Lin Nan has been working overtime, and he is almost always busy until after 11 o'clock in the middle of the night before arriving home.And as soon as he got home at night, he quickly hid in his bedroom.

Not to mention taking the initiative to call and text Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan turned on his phone today, but there was still no reminder.He was about to fight, but tried to restrain himself.

Looking at the stagnant pool of water and the silent mobile phone, Qin Chuan silently reminded himself in his heart: "Qin Chuan, Qin Chuan, when you can't help but want to talk to others, think about how others can't resist not looking for you." So he snapped his phone off and started to concentrate on his work.

--------

There were three promotion opportunities in the Qinchuan team this quarter, and Wang Yiding got one of them as he wished, and was promoted from a Junior programmer to a Senior code farmer.

In order to fight for this chance of promotion, Wang Yiding wrote more than 20 pages of work report, and specially found five colleagues to provide him with peer review (peer review).Wang Yiding believes that whether it is professional qualifications or work performance, his achievements in the big factory in the past few years are impeccable.When he sent this thick report to Qin Chuan, he was 90% sure in his heart that he would be able to win this spot.

Therefore, when Qin Chuan announced the good news, Wang Yiding was not very surprised.The feeling of excitement lasted for about half an hour and then quickly dissipated.

When Linda returned to her seat after lunch, she saw Wang Yiding sitting next to her with her head resting on the keyboard, staring out the window in a daze.

Linda was curious: "Engineer Wang, why are you still depressed after being promoted?"

Wang Yiding didn't even turn his head, and continued to lie on the table, sighing: "Alas... it's hard to say."

Linda: "What's the matter? You just got promoted, so it shouldn't be a career problem, could it be... an emotional problem?"

Wang Yiding was still listless: "Oh...you don't understand..."

Linda: "How about I ask Alex for you?"

Hearing this, Wang Yiding sat up straight like a knee jerk: "You...you asked him what he did? You know everything?"

Linda laughed loudly: "With your acting skills, who else do you want to lie to? Everyone knows about the two of you! Well, why are you unhappy? Telling it makes me happy?"

Wang Yiding lowered his head and pondered for a moment: "It's okay to talk about it."

Then he told Linda about Alex's ex-boyfriend's Pandora's Box incident in detail, and he didn't forget to scold the little boy in the photo for a long time during the process.

After listening to Linda, she felt that it was not enjoyable at all: "That's it? That's it?! Is this going to stump you? I thought there was something more exciting? Everyone is going to be in their third year, and falling in love is not enough. It’s like playing house in kindergarten.”

Wang Yiding was pleasantly surprised: "Yo? Why, it sounds like you have a solution?"

"Yes, it's just..." Linda let it go.

Wang Yiding cupped his fists: "It's okay to be an expert!"

Linda took out her folding fan from the drawer, fanned it, and said pretendingly, "There is a way, but you must call me daddy!"

Wang Yiding rolled his eyes, "Don't even think about it!"

Linda proudly said: "You don't have to call me Dad, you can continue to sleep on your sofa."

As soon as Wang Yiding thought of going back tonight and grabbing the sofa with Gouzi, he became cowardly, and immediately changed his attitude: "Small oil, Linda Barbie, don't leave your son alone! Dad! Dad! Father! Daddy! Papa! Help! Son!"

After hearing this, Linda smiled triumphantly, turned on the phone unhurriedly, sent a link to Wang Yiding, patted Wang Yiding on the shoulder and said, "Young man, I think you have wonderful bones, this secret book is taught in you."

Wang Yiding couldn't wait to open the link provided by Linda, and what caught his eyes was an e-book with a dark pink cover. The big title read: "Teaching You How to Keep a Man's Heart in Love".

His eyes were irritated by the cheap book cover and the tacky name, and he asked Linda in disgust: "What the hell? I believe in your evil (pronounced in Sichuan dialect)! I want you, an older single young woman, to teach me how to fall in love ! I am a manly man, and I have always acted aboveboard. This thing is for girls to teach boys how to do it, can it work?!"

Linda taught earnestly: "Young man, you must be stable, don't be cursing all the time! You see, you have been sleeping on the sofa for a week now, so you should be a dead horse as a living horse doctor."

Wang Yiding: "Even if I, Wang Yiding, freeze to death on the sofa, die outside, and jump from here, I will not learn the tricks taught in this stupid and tacky love book!"

Linda cupped her hands: "It's good to do it for yourself, it's good to do it for yourself."

Having said that, when Wang Yiding was sitting on the toilet in the company to take a shit with pay in the afternoon, for some reason, he couldn’t help but click on this e-book out of curiosity.

It's fine if you don't read it, but it's incredible, the words in this book are simply poisonous, like scriptures chiseled on a stone tablet, it was quickly engraved in Wang Yiding's mind, and he couldn't get rid of it.

(Teach you the first way to fall in love: Know how to show weakness and take advantage of his superiority. The reason why you are loved by no one is because you know everything.)

Inspired, when he was cooking at home at night, Wang Yiding suddenly ran out of the kitchen, looked at Alex shyly, and said, "My dear, you are the best, can you help me to open this can. They are so confused It won’t open, the cans are tightly screwed~~~”

After hearing this, Alex felt uncomfortable all over, with cold sweat on the top of his head: "Can you speak well, in a human way!" After speaking, he took the can of bean paste, and before he could make much effort, the can was unscrewed.

Alex was still wondering why it was so easy to open, and he heard Wang Yiding say delicately: "Oh, my dear, it's so amazing, I helped someone open the cans in no time!"

Alex: "Did you take the wrong medicine today?"

Wang Yiding: "Oh, baby Alex is so rude. But I like rude men! So manly and masculine!"

Alex originally thought that Wang Yiding was joking with him, but now he is lost in thought.Open Zhihu and search for "Will sleeping on the sofa damage your brain?"

(Teach you the second way to fall in love: don't wait for a man to create a romantic surprise for you, grasp the opportunity in your own hands, play an instrument for him, sing a song, and create a romantic atmosphere.)

Wang Yiding's inner OS: Huh?musical instrument?I can do musical instruments!When I was a child, I also passed the eighth grade certificate!

Alex has been exhausted in order to keep up with the rhythm of new projects these days. He just got off work and just wants to go home and sleep well.As soon as he parked the car, he heard the sound of a piano coming from the house.

Alex originally thought that Wang Yiding was playing some ancient music outside the house.Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the door, he saw Wang Yiding wearing fake nail sets, sitting in front of the guzheng, immersed in the performance of "House of Flying Daggers".At the moment, he is playing with his eyes closed, fully devoting himself to it, his body swinging back and forth with the sound of the piano, completely moving himself.

It was not until the door was knocked by a neighbor that the music stopped.

A caucasian couple who looked mean were standing at the door. The man was filled with righteous indignation and warned that if Wang Yiding continued to play like this in the middle of the night, they would definitely call 911.

(Teach you the third way to fall in love: the killer feature—sexiness is your weapon. Since ancient times, heroes have been saddened by beauty. Don’t be shy, you have to learn to discover the lust button of the person you like, and make your man burn with desire.)

Seeing this, Wang Yiding scratched his head, feeling troubled.This question really stumped him.He's pretty sure Alex drives him horny most of the time, and he really hasn't thought about what he can do to seduce Alex.

So he quietly opened Amazon's search box, and repeatedly tested the borders of various prohibited words. The screen that popped up from the search results opened Wang Yiding's eyes:

"What the hell, is there any difference between wearing these fishnet underwear and not wearing them? Damn, this buyer's show is also amazing. This dude's abs are on the P?"

"Help! This...is this leather pants that a human body can get in? How did the model in the picture get in?"

"Wait, why are you still wearing a tie when you're not wearing anything?"

"Hiss, no, no, this thing looks like it hurts. Next, next..."

……

After searching around, he specifically selected a few that didn't look too much, took a screenshot, sent it to Alex, and asked, "Honey, tell me, which one do you like?"

Alex replied immediately: "What the hell are you thinking in your head every day?! Send me black again!"

The third move also failed, and Wang Yiding was discouraged. What to do, Alex seemed to be unwilling to do so.He silently deleted the shopping cart, and emptied the terrifying browser search history with a guilty conscience.

"Your uncle! Sure enough! The book Linda gave is not reliable at all! It's killing me, what on earth would I believe in the love advice of a single mother?!" Wang Yiding thought to himself.

The author says:

Q: What do single people usually do?

Answer: Provide relationship advice and teach others how to fall in love.
