Chapter 40 Breaking the Ice

The newly announced weekly meeting was on Tuesday, which happened to be a full day for Lin Wu. After the cross-district evening class, he rushed to the complex building for a meeting, like a legendary "time management master"—although the management objects are not the same.

When he was riding through the sweet-scented osmanthus road, he saw the bright moon hanging high, and remembered chatting with Qin Shu one night—about this time last year, they were still living in a foreign country, and he sent endless messages to Qin Shu, researching The other party's wechat steps and the content related to the work of the school reunion that was occasionally reposted in the circle of friends, calculated from the details where his brother went and what he did, like a little stalker who enjoyed it.

During that time, he was particularly keen to bother his brother with trivial matters, like a child rolling around, wanting to take part of his life from the other party, sending hundreds of unnutritious news a night, it was very deliberate The blatant harassment was thanks to Qin Shu's patience with him, and someone else would probably be so annoying as to block him.

His brother is indifferent to the matter of online chatting, rarely responds to unnecessary content, dormitory groups and other purely social groups are blocked all the year round, and he has no interest in news other than business matters—only for him Except, even if the content sent is cumbersome and meaningless, I will read it patiently, and then reply to the boring questions mixed in it one by one.

But after all, Qin Shu didn't always have time to play around with him. At that time, the most common sentence he received was "I have something to do now, I'll watch it later", or start with "I'm going to...", and then tell him the approximate time to end, The content in the ellipsis is likely to be serious things such as "classes" and "meetings", and rarely even "eat", like a well-configured robot.

Now that I think about it, Qin Shu at this time last year should have been busier than he imagined, so he stayed on. There were many classes in his sophomore year. If I remember correctly, he should have participated in a certain competition. He continued to read documents and write codes for a few days until the early hours of the morning. Even so, his brother never showed the slightest emotion related to tiredness or complaints in front of him, and always maintained a gentle and patient attitude, as if he didn't care about the constant busyness. Yu Yu came to care about him.

It wasn't just that period of time, Qin Shu seemed to have been like this for more than [-] years since he was a child.

Osmanthus is sweet-scented osmanthus, and the moon is the moon. When pedestrians crossed the zebra crossing, he pressed a finger against the car bell, making the sound that should have been crisp and clear light and muffled. A certain astringent emotion in his heart was not real. Feelings come out together.

He feels that sometimes Qin Shu is like these pleasing and beautiful things, real but not real, covered with many meanings, making things that are not so perfect look almost perfect.

Qin Shu also attended the first regular meeting. When Lin Wu arrived, everyone was still there. From a distance, he saw the young man he was thinking of standing at the end of the corridor. Likeable.

"Here we come," Qin Shu didn't react much when he hugged him from behind. He seemed to be accustomed to this kind of "sneak attack". He raised his hand to gently caress his hot cheek, and his tone was a little helpless. Turning around, he said softly, "There are still 10 minutes to start, so don't be so anxious."

The little fox snuggled into his arms and put his ear against his ear, pretending to be innocent: "I miss you, I want to see you soon..."

"I'm sorry, the teacher came to me temporarily just now, and I didn't have time to pick you up." Qin Shu's tone of speech was always unhurried, whether he apologized or explained, there was a gentle sincerity that no one could trace - when talking to others. This kind of sincerity is fake, but it is not the same for Lin Wu, and the gentleness turns into a more real gentleness, gently rippling from between the words, like a guinea pig.

As Lin Wu listened, he remembered half of the things he had thought of on the road, and the distress derived from the empathy came up again, delicately entangled in the corner of his heart, making him want to say something, but he didn't know what to say What.

In the past, I only felt that the dark side that his brother occasionally showed was quite different from his usual ones, and that his impartiality was in line with his absurd aesthetics, especially because of his flaws, which made him even more satisfied.

But now when he looks at such a gentle Qin Shu, he remembers that this person only sleeps for a few hours a day, and he has to take care of all kinds of things, take care of all kinds of people around him, and spare his energy to accompany him. Treat him well in a comprehensive and patient manner, and never show negative emotions in front of him like other people who regard their partners as a safe haven-I feel a little uncomfortable.

But these words can't be said, he knows his brother's character too well, there is an unquestionable desire to control hidden under the gentle appearance, and he doesn't want to receive pity or distress from others.

"What's the matter?" Realizing that he had been silent for too long, Qin Shu gently pinched the back of his neck like a cat to comfort him, and asked softly, "What are you thinking?"

Lin Wu shook his head, glanced at the direction of the office to make sure no one was paying attention, then turned his head and pressed a small kiss on his ear.

"I miss you," he tried his best to sound frivolous and even a little heartless. "Brother, the last time we met was eight hours ago——I miss you so much."

After speaking, he quickly let go of his hand, and obediently took a step back to stand still—it was almost the time for the regular meeting to start, and if he continued to dawdle, he would not be the only one who was not doing his job properly.

The first regular meeting may be more appropriately called "ice breaking". It aims to make the dozen or so people who get together for the first time familiar with each other, and the assignment of work and training skills will be discussed in the future.

Lin Wu was not surprised at all when he saw Meng Qi was there, but suddenly understood why the whole room was sitting quietly and neatly, and it seemed that he and Qin Shu walked in one after the other, which seemed a bit abrupt—— With such a big Buddha standing still with no expression on his face, it's hard not to be quiet.

"Then everyone is here... Cough, first of all welcome everyone to join the big family of Xinxuan, um... I am Wen Wan, the director of Xinxuan, Wen Wan of the news, Wan Wan of the night, you can call me whatever you want."

Wen Wan still spoke in a soft voice, her fingers clasped the edge of the notebook tightly, her knuckles were a little white, but she couldn't hear any nervousness in her voice, she probably had practiced in advance: "Today is the first time we meet, I don’t have much work to do at the moment, just get together to get acquainted with each other, so that we can work together in the future... On the table are snacks and milk tea prepared by our ministers. I bought a lot, so you are welcome. The process tonight is also very easy. First, everyone takes turns to introduce themselves, trying to remember each other's names and faces. Then I will briefly introduce the content of the regular assessment and related matters. The rest of the time will be given by the Ministry of Arts Sister Zhao came to take us to play some ice-breaking games like digital bombs, I hope you all have fun..."

Afterwards, self-introductions were carried out sequentially starting from the ministers. Eighteen people from the entire department sat in a circle, and Qin Shu, who was outside the circle, was naturally included as the vice chairman of the school council in charge of them.

They were all people who had participated in the welcome party at the scene, and of course they were no strangers to Qin Shu and Lin Wu, the names of Qin Shu and Lin Wu. After the self-introduction with a little extra information, the curiosity of the people who eat melons can't be hidden.

But he is a senior after all, even if he seems to have a good temper, it is not suitable to gossip more right now, so everyone can only turn their attention to the other protagonist of the story, either curious or eager, hoping to get away from Lin Wu. Have some candy.

But sometimes curiosity and the desire to gossip are the beginning of a topic, and the atmosphere is always activated by interesting topics—Lin Wu is used to being the one with the active atmosphere in the crowd, so he is quite conscious of this, and the conversation is delivered to the audience. If it is on the lips, it will be picked up naturally, and it must be deliberately closed to make the effect more obvious.

"Hi everyone, my name is Lin Wu, forest forest, barren Wu, as you can see, I'm a mixed race, my hair was still blond on the day of the welcome party, maybe someone remembers..." Probably because of a filter added to the hair color, he When he smiled so lightly, he was more transparent than before, looking harmless and cute.

But there is a bomb hidden in the next sentence, which has nothing to do with pure goodness and harmlessness: "This name was chosen by Qin Shu when he was eight years old. I'm going to elementary school. I stayed in country F for three years, and the rest I spend all my time in China, my mother tongue and idioms are Chinese, just call me Lin Wu.”

He seldom calls Qin Shu by his name directly, and always likes to call him brother overtly and secretly, like a little fun that he is used to, but now in front of his future colleagues, he speaks the word "Qin Shu" naturally and frankly, just like Dafangfang has surpassed the pretense of brothers and sisters, and people will naturally think of the relationship between bamboo and horse when they hear it. It is a very reasonable script of love for a long time.

He couldn't help but look at Qin Shu when the rustling sound was heard, and he really caught the connivance passing by in the other party's eyes - the one who can talk about this relationship frankly and look at the other party directly under the eyes of everyone is actually from the beginning to the end. Not only him.

Thanks to this little gossip of "get what you want", the atmosphere of self-introduction in the next half round was much more relaxed, and some people began to talk about their girlfriend working in another department, or "still single, I hope to get out of the single soon " and the like.

In the end, the words reached Meng Qi, and someone even took advantage of the atmosphere to joke: "What about Senior Meng, is there such a thing, the situation——"

"Since when did you think about this? You've put so much effort into coming to the school meeting just to find someone, right?" Meng Qi bluffed people with a straight face, singing red cheeks dutifully, "I can tell you, if it's because of these seven The influence of [-] is a serious matter, not to mention getting out of the order, and there is no way to become a full-time member—especially Lin Wu, Xiao Lin, you are recruited because you have a good resume and good ability, not because of Qin Shu's face, if you do not perform well in the future , Don’t say you’re his partner, it’s me—cough, it’s useless if it’s my own brother, and there’s still no chance to become a regular, do you hear me?”

Lin Wu, a little fox who has become a spirit, can naturally hear the meaning behind what he said, knowing that he intends to secretly vouch for him, so that no one will say that he relied on Qin Shu's relationship to get in, and his purpose is not pure.

It's just that I accidentally said too much, and was glanced at by someone who is easily jealous.

"I know, Senior Meng Qi, I will work harder for my brother," the fox accepted his kindness very seriously, raised his hand and saluted exaggeratedly, "Ga?us, a well-known photographer from country F The only closed disciple, serving you."

A few minutes later, the topic was over, and he received another message from Meng Qi—seemingly unable to hold back his curiosity, he intercepted the personal introduction of the legendary "famous photographer Ga?us" to ask him, is it Does this look particularly powerful Ga?us?

"Yeah" - Lin Wu deliberately typed word by word, so that jealous people could see more clearly, the answer that can be explained clearly in two words was typed in a whole line - "My dad, but his My job is a designer, and I only became interested in photography in the past two years, so I learned it earlier than him.”

As soon as he put down his phone, Meng Qi lowered his head to read the news. Others might not pay attention, but Qin Shu was so focused on him that it was impossible to miss such subtle details.

——It’s not that he doesn’t know that his brother will be angry, but he has no other choice. Even the doctor can’t do anything about the festering scars that have been hidden by Zhou Quan. He must first find an opportunity for Qin Shu to take off his mask, so that he can “prescribe the right medicine” .

He saw Qin Shu type a few words with lowered eyes, and the expected news jumped out in the next second. The short words made his heart beat a beat.

"What are you talking about?"
