Avatar and White-eyed Wolf

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, a holiday for family reunion, Chu Shangluo was lying in a luxurious home, bored.

There were no hot dishes, no pastries and sweets, just an empty bottle of red wine and a pack of cigarettes on the table.

He rubbed his brows, opened the chat box, and there were countless New Year greeting messages, but what's the use?

Still can't get someone to go out for a drink.

Chu Shangluo regretted rejecting Ren Jiaoming's invitation, at least now he doesn't have to be so boring alone.

But couldn't Ren Jiaoming take the initiative even a little more?Anyway, it’s good to send a New Year’s greetings message!

In the next second, Chu Shangluo felt that he was being cheap again. What did that dog man have to think about being so irritating!

He sat up and walked to the bathroom. After washing up, he changed into a clean suit and went out to work.

It’s the time of year to work at a company anyway, and this year will be no different.

When he came to the company, Chu Shangluo was taken aback when he saw the man in the office.He was still a little angry, took off his coat and hung it up, and asked, "Why are you here? Didn't you have a holiday?"

Ren Jiaoming glanced at Chu Shangluo, tapped the keyboard with his fingers, and said casually: "Copy the report and leave immediately."

Seeing his lukewarm attitude, Chu Shangluo drooped his eyelids and sat on the office chair.

Then he rubbed his aching stomach and opened the first drawer on the right.He didn't find what he wanted in the drawer, so he opened the second one.

The rustling sound of searching for things was harsh and trivial, just as chaotic as Chu Shangluo's not-so-good mood at the moment.

Ren Jiaoming glanced lightly, and said, "It's in the second drawer to your left."

"Do you know what I'm looking for?" Chu Shangluo looked at Ren Jiaoming rather unhappily, and then opened the second drawer on the left, where the stomach medicine was neatly placed.

Chu Shangluo paused, and took out a piece of medicine uncomfortably.He went to pour the herbal tea on the table again, and his teacup was taken away the next moment.

Ren Jiaoming got up and walked to the water dispenser, and there was the sound of water. When he came back, a cup full of hot water was placed in front of Chu Shangluo, and his voice was still calm: "Drink hot water if you have a stomachache."

This was the first time Ren Jiaoming poured water for him.

Chu Shangluo glanced at Ren Jiaoming, who looked normal, and took a sip of the slightly scalding water in silence.

The qi that had been accumulated since last night disappeared after drinking this cup of hot water.

Ren Jiaoming finished copying the materials, closed the computer, and picked up his coat.

Chu Shangluo leaned on his chin and looked at Ren Jiaoming expectantly, wondering if Ren Jiaoming could do something to make him happy.

However, until Ren Jiaoming opened the door of the office, nothing happened to make him happy.

Chu Shangluo knew that if he didn't speak again, Ren Jiaoming would really leave.

"Secretary!"

Ren Jiaoming stopped and looked at Chu Shangluo suspiciously: "Is there anything else?"

Chu Shangluo sighed in his heart. Forget it, he should take the initiative. After all, if he doesn't take the initiative, there will be no story.

"Do you have time later? Didn't you say you want to invite me to dinner?" Chu Shangluo looked at the secretary who was dressed very abstinently today with a smile.

Ren Jiaoming looked at the time and said, "I have an appointment in a while."

There was no smile on Chu Shangluo's face for a moment: "You fucking..."

Ren Jiaoming didn't change his face, and said again: "I have time at night."

Chu Shangluo held back the cursing words behind him: "So we have dinner tonight?"

"it is good."

Good evening, stories are easy to happen at night.

President Chu was a little happier again, and asked, "Where are you going? Your home?"

Chu Shangluo admitted that he just couldn't get through with Ren Jiaoming's house, and he didn't believe that he couldn't go to his house!

Ren Jiaoming responded simply: "My family is not convenient, except for my family, Mr. Chu, who picks at will."

Chu Shangluo felt that he had fallen into Ren Jiaoming's family.

"Isn't your house hiding the treasure? All right, then if you don't want to go to your house, go to my house."

Ren Jiaoming thought for a moment, then nodded.

After Ren Jiaoming left, Chu Shangluo was somewhat unconvinced when he thought about Wen Yan who entered Ren Jiaoming's house yesterday. Why couldn't I enter if he could enter?

The man who fell in love became more and more unhappy, so he called Lin Zhi and asked him to check the relationship between Wen Yan and Ren Jiaoming.

Lin Zhi's family is sitting in the living room, chatting, eating melon seeds, and watching the rerun of the Spring Festival Gala.

When receiving a call from Chu Shangluo, Lin Zhi was afraid that Chu Shangluo would be sad when he heard the lively atmosphere in his house, so he deliberately hid in the toilet, but Chu Shangluo still heard everything.So after he gave his orders, he quickly hung up the phone.

After a while, Lin Zhi sent the found information to Chu Shangluo.In addition to finding out that Wen Yan and Ren Jiaoming were college classmates, they also found out something that Chu Shangluo was very concerned about, and that was Ren Jiaoming's surname.

After thinking for a while, he called Jiang Jia.

Jiang Jia was rather dissatisfied when she received the call: "Who is it! I'm playing games! It's Chinese New Year!"

Chu Shangluo lit a cigarette and said unhurriedly, "It's me."

"who are you?"

"Chu Shangluo."

"Hey? Chushangluo?" Jiang Jia's voice softened, "Why are you calling me?"

"Let me ask you, Ren Jiaoming's last name was Ruan? What was his name Ruan?"

"Ah... Is there any? Let me think about it... Hey, hurry up and get him together!"

Chu Shangluo took a deep breath, feeling that his patience was about to be worn out by this kid.

"Ah... I lost, and I'm not playing anymore. Chu Shangluo, are you still there? I remembered that my father said that his surname was Ruan. Why did he forget Ruan? Anyway, it's just one word."

With a cigarette in his mouth, Chu Shangluo looked at the scant information about Ren Jiaoming on the computer, and asked again: "Did your dad say anything else about him?"

"Ah! It seems so. My dad said that he has a younger brother. He has been looking for his younger brother for so many years, but he needs a jade pendant to find his younger brother. So he has been looking for a jade pendant, but he has never found it."

looking for brother...

Chu Shangluo exhaled smoke, no wonder Ren Jiaoming, a clean freak, would let the little boy with ice cream in his hands grab the hem of his clothes in the scenic area.

"Do you remember the shape of the jade pendant?"

"Oh, I can't remember what shape the jade pendant is. Anyway, I heard that it is a red jade pendant that is half missing. It seems that Ruan characters are engraved on it."

Chu Shangluo closed his eyes, these few pieces of information were enough, he had seen this jade pendant before.

"Hey, Chu Shangluo, do you want to go skydiving with me next time? I think you are quite amazing! Anyway, I really thank you. Without you, I wouldn't have the happy life like a fairy!"

Chu Shangluo really couldn't stand Jiang Jia's annoying mouth, so he hung up the phone directly.

On the way back by car, Chu Shangluo called his father, but the other party didn't answer.

Ruan characters, red, half jade pendant.

He was so impressed. When he was a child, he went to his father's study once and happened to see this jade pendant in the safe. He wore it around his neck curiously to play with. After being discovered by his father, he said that he should not take such a valuable thing. If you don't accept it, don't you think it's just a broken jade pendant?Then his father beat him severely.

Chu Shangluo will not easily forget any painful memories.

Back home, Chu Shangluo looked at his deserted home, only to realize that he wanted to eat, but there was nothing at home.He took out his mobile phone and thought about booking a restaurant, but then he realized that today was the first day of the new year and there were no restaurants open.

When Ren Jiaoming came, Chu Shangluo was pouring the takeaway onto the plates.

Hearing the knock on the door, he put down the takeaway box and walked over to open the door.

Chu Shangluo stayed in the stuffy room for a long time, and his skin was covered with a layer that made him upset and hot.As soon as Ren Jiaoming came in, Chu Shangluo felt quite comfortable with the chilly air on his body, so he couldn't help stretching out his hand to press his face.

"Secretary Ren's face is so cool."

Chu Shangluo's hands were dry and hot. Ren Jiaoming couldn't accept the temperature, so he frowned and took his hand away.

Seeing that Ren Jiaoming was touched by him, Chu Shangluo didn't seem very happy, so he didn't continue, "Secretary Ren, you can take off your shoes or not, whatever you want."

After speaking, Chu Shangluo went back to the table and put the takeaway on the plate, not shying away from Ren Jiaoming at all.He really doesn't know how to cook, and it's not ashamed to eat takeaway.

Chu Shangluo poured out the last box of food and piled all the takeaway boxes to the corner of the table.Ren Jiaoming was carefully wiping his cup with a paper towel, seeing this scene, he couldn't help frowning.

President Chu didn't realize that there was anything wrong with such behavior at all, took out the red wine and opened the cork, snatched the glass from Ren Jiaoming's hand, poured it for him, "Don't wipe it, I've cleaned the glass before, it's clean!"

Chu Shangluo was very hot, so he unbuttoned a few buttons casually, handed the wine glass to Ren Jiaoming, and looked at him with smiling eyes: "Secretary Ren said to invite me to dinner, why did I invite you in the end?"

Ren Jiaoming took the wine glass and took a sip gracefully: "I will invite President Chu back next time."

Chu Shangluo shook the wine glass and said with a smile: "Then tomorrow, okay?"

How could Ren Jiaoming fail to see Chu Shangluo's intention, and said, "I don't have time tomorrow."

Chu Shangluo stared at Ren Jiaoming for a while, and what he saw on that face was still alienation.

Even though today is the first day of the Lunar New Year and the new year, being a secretary is still very difficult.

Chu Shangluo drank a few more glasses of wine, and the two of them spoke very little during this period.

Ren Jiaoming didn't like to talk, Chu Shangluo looked for a topic for a while, and when he found out that Ren Jiaoming didn't respond, he lost his temper, thinking why I kept trying to find something to say, it's boring!

Time passed slowly, and the two drank a bottle of wine in such a silent atmosphere, until the sudden sound of firecrackers outside the window broke the weird silence between them.

Chu Shangluo put on his coat, walked to the balcony with a wine glass in his hand, and waved to Ren Jiaoming.

Ren Jiaoming glanced at the time, got up and walked to Chu Shangluo.

Unlike Chu Shangluo who blushes after drinking, Ren Jiaoming still showed restraint and sobriety: "Mr. Chu, I should go back."

Chu Shangluo turned his head, and the cold wind blew his hair a little coolly. He looked at Ren Jiaoming with serious eyes: "Your surname was Ruan before?"

Ren Jiaoming's expression remained calm.

Chu Shangluo turned around, resting his arms on the railing, looking at the stars in the sky above the capital late at night: "I know, you are looking for a jade pendant."

Ren Jiaoming's eyes suddenly darkened when he looked at Chu Shangluo.

Chu Shangluo continued: "I seem to have seen that jade pendant before, but it's not with my dad. I'll call him and ask him. If it's what you need, I'll give it to you."

Chu Shangluo said it simply, without any intention of deceiving Ren Jiaoming.His eyes turned to Ren Jiaoming's slender and clean hands, and with a thought, he took Ren Jiaoming's hand and gently stroked his knuckle fingers.

Chu Shangluo stared at his bottomless eyes like a pool of water, and said without hesitation: "I have thought about it, it is a big deal for you to find your brother. I like you so I am willing to help you." Then he shook Ren Jiaoming wanted to withdraw his hand, "I don't care if you approached me because you knew Yupei was here, after all, I thought about it, and with your Ren Jiaoming's ability, if you want to fight against me, you can keep the Jiang family. These I don't want to pursue it anymore, I only have one request, I will give you the jade pendant, but you cannot leave the Chu family."

In the quiet night, Chu Shangluo's voice was clear and his expression was calm.

Ren Jiaoming looked into those eager eyes, and his heart seemed to be burned by something.
