flirt with opponents

On Sunday night, Zhuang Mingqi finally didn't work overtime until late, and entered the house just after eight o'clock in the evening.

The lights were on in the house, but it was quiet.Zhuang Mingqi stood in the porch and looked around. He only saw the notebook and some books on the dining table, but he couldn't find the owner of these things.It wasn't until he entered the room and searched around that he found that the other party was on the balcony.

Guan Ruoqu leaned against the fence of the balcony, looked at the night sky, and did nothing.The night wind blew on his face and messed up his hair, but he didn't look like he was afraid of the cold like last night.Even if Zhuang Mingqi opened the balcony door and stood on the balcony, all he got in exchange was "Yo" from Teacher Guan who turned his head.

A little different from the gentle and cheerful person in the past, Teacher Guan at this time looks... seems a bit sharp, with a sense of distance.

Zhuang Mingqi rarely saw this side of him, so he squinted his eyes.

"What?" Zhuang Mingqi said coldly, "Blowing cold wind here, aren't you cold? Where did the energy to keep warm and keep healthy yesterday?"

Guan Ruoyu finally came back to his senses, looked at the man and smiled, "Ah, I was thinking about something, so I didn't pay attention."

"..." Zhuang Mingqi looked him up and down, stepped out of the balcony door, and said in a cold voice, "I don't want to chat with you in the cold wind, come in."

Guan Ruoyu raised his eyebrows, and after looking at the man for a few seconds, he finally let out a low laugh and entered the balcony.

"technical problem?"

Zhuang Mingqi took out a pot of lemonade - which Guan Ruoyu made before - and poured it into his own cup, and poured a glass for Guan Ruoyu along the way: "If I remember correctly, you should have graduated by now, And wasting years in a side job that doesn’t require publishing papers and participating in projects.”

Guan Ruoyu: "..."

Sitting in the living room to warm up for a while, the sharpness released by Teacher Guan has softened a lot, like a dagger with a dark light in it silently put into the scabbard.He took a sip of the lemonade he made himself—but it was poured by Mr. President himself. The sweet and sour refreshing taste washed down his throat and brought back his usual gentle voice.

"That's what you say, but you can't stop me from still having a love for academics." Guan Ruoyu smiled and sighed softly, "And Mr. Zhuang, caring for the flowers of the motherland is also an important job, so it can't be regarded as a waste of time. ?”

"Love academics?" Zhuang Mingqi also drank a few sips of lemonade and raised his eyebrows, "Could it be that your love for academics is based on blowing cold wind on the balcony? Your brain is trying to freeze yourself It can only work under the premise? Is your love for academics a sacrifice to the cold?"

President Zhuang Da is as indifferent to others as ice, and can't help but scold those who want to "manage".Not to mention Guan Ruoyu, even Mr. Zhuang's mother listened to such unpleasant words.He can say "Be careful of being deceived" as "Don't be too confident in your own eyesight", and he can also say "Don't leave things behind" as "Recite the 'mobile wallet key' ten times, if you can't memorize it, recite it ten times." 'Mobile phone' over and over again", and my mother was so angry that she yelled "Shut up or get out".But those who are familiar with him know that this is the way he cares about people, and it is harder than heaven for him to change this awkwardness.

Of course Guan Ruoyu can be obedient, and he has plenty of ways to deal with this fluffy fellow.

For example... As soon as he heard Zhuang Mingqi's three consecutive questions just now, he immediately turned on his notebook and started typing on the keyboard.

Seeing his abnormal behavior, Zhuang Mingqi frowned and said, "What are you doing?"

"Hurry up and record your famous quote!" Guan Ruoyu replied, "One meaning is changed to three sentence patterns, personification, comparison, parallelism, and progression... Tsk tsk, this refutation is high, it is really high .”

This time it was Zhuang Mingqi's turn to "...".

Facts have proved that Mr. Guan is Mr. Guan. President Zhuang Da's "combined punches" he can pick up whenever he wants, and he can't pick up if he doesn't want to. He can also release all the strength of Zhuang Mingqi like a ball of cotton in minutes.Zhuang Mingqi was silent for a few seconds, feeling that he still had to say what he should say, so he read it again in a more rational way.

"I don't care what academic problems you are troubled by, but please pay attention to your recent state." Zhuang Mingqi sat next to Guan Ruoyu, facing him, with his eyes fixed on his face, "You have already done this because of this academic problem." The problem is that you often stay up late, stand in the cold wind and don't know it... Oh, and you have been in a bad state after answering a phone call last night. After playing the game and taking a nap, you can fully adjust. So, I suggest you Just keep an eye on yourself."

Guan Ruoyu raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"I really didn't expect...it turns out that Mr. Zhuang also understands psychology." Guan Ruoyu turned his body sideways, with his right hand resting on the side of his face, and his peach blossom eyes met the man's gaze without any scruples, "And, Mr. Zhuang cares about me so much, I'm so—moved."

The two looked at each other, one was serious and cold, the other was full of smiles.

Zhuang Mingqi frowned: "Don't take it seriously..."

"Don't worry, I've listened." Guan Ruoyu reached out and patted the back of Zhuang Mingqi's hand, and left immediately, "Actually... I know that my state is not right."

Zhuang Mingqi frowned and said, "Then you still indulge yourself like this?"

If you make a mistake, you must correct it, one of Mr. Zhuang's principles.

"Maybe it's a habit." Guan Ruoyu smiled helplessly, "Before I graduated, my dissertations drove me crazy, and I was tossing around day and night. During that time, the library was open all night, and I spent a lot of time in it. It was almost a week, and then I went back to the dormitory, took a shower and squinted for a few hours, and then continued to go... Don’t look at me like that, there are many people who do this. It is said that there are seniors who soak in it for a month in a row, and they are afraid when they come out. Empty."

Zhuang Mingqi continued to frown: "You shouldn't follow this model as an example."

"Hey, I can't help myself... well, that's not the point I want to talk about." Guan Ruoyu tapped the table, "I was dizzy because of my thesis, and when my mind was really messed up, I would just sit down and talk about it." Being in a daze outside. Especially in cold weather, the cold wind will wake me up quickly. So I am standing on the balcony tonight, it is just a habit.”

"This is not your thesis, you can focus on it, but forgetting to eat and sleep, or even blowing cold wind, is not a good habit." Zhuang Mingqi disagreed, "And you looked very afraid of the wind last night, this is probably the previous paragraph You'd better take care of the sequelae caused by abnormal life."

Guan Ruoxin said that I'm not really afraid of the cold, it's just a "plot" for buying a scarf.But Mr. Guan would not be so stupid as to tell the whole story, he just said cheerfully: "Isn't it a good habit to waste sleep and food? Oh my god, Mr. Zhuang, who works overtime every day, doesn't seem to have the right to say that about me? And why does Bai Li take dizzin? But I remember it clearly."

Zhuang Mingqi's brows frowned even tighter. He felt that this was not the same thing, but Guan Ruoyu's way of changing concepts secretly made it difficult for him to refute.

After struggling for a second, Zhuang Mingqi came to a conclusion: "I will try my best to liberate the employees and me, and you must also correct it."

Guan Ruoyu blinked: "Okay, Mr. Zhuang."

Zhuang Mingqi endured and endured, and couldn't help but said: "Don't always call me 'Mr. Zhuang', I am not your leader."

"What's that called? Zhuangzhuang? Qiqi? Or Xiaoming?"

Every time he uttered a title, Zhuang Mingqi's face darkened, and his eyes narrowed like a falcon.However, Mr. Guan is fearless, blinking peachy eyes, as if waiting for the other party to make a decision after finishing speaking.

President Zhuang Da said in a deep voice, "Just call me by name."

"Zhuang Mingqi?"

"Ah."

"But don't you think that calling you by your first name and last name is like getting angry?" Teacher Guan thought for a while, "Otherwise, I will call you 'A Ming' just like my auntie?"

"A Ming" is Zhuang Mingqi's nickname, and Zhuang Mingqi is quite familiar with this nickname.But this is basically only the elders who are close to each other. It has been a long time since President Zhuang Da returned to China.

Now that this nickname came out of Guan Ruoyu's mouth, Zhuang Mingqi couldn't tell what was going on in his heart, it wasn't stable anyway.So the man said: "You called me by my full name when you were a child, why do you change it now?"

Teacher Guan tilted his head: "But you called me 'Guan Guan' when you were a child, and now you call me Guan Ruoyu, why can you change it?"

Zhuang Mingqi was speechless again: "..."

When I was young, I called Guan Ruoyu "Guan Guan" because when the two of them first met under the introduction of their elders, Guan Ruoyu introduced himself as "Guan Guan"!Not to mention Zhuang Mingqi, Guan Ruoqu didn't remember his real name until he grew up a bit.Of course, at that time President Zhuang's self-introduction had already been his full name, so the so-called three-year-old is very reasonable.

President Zhuang Da lost several times in front of Mr. Guan tonight, and finally decided not to continue debating with this eloquent guy, and got up to walk away.Anyway, everything that can be said has been said, what to do is still up to Ruo Wu himself.He is an adult and is responsible for all his actions.

Seeing him getting up to leave, Guan Ruoyu suddenly said, "I have a question for you."

Zhuang Mingqi was puzzled by this sudden topic for a moment: "Huh?"

Guan Ruoyu's expression was gentle as usual, but the words he said were somewhat serious.

"If there is an unknown truth in front of you, do you choose to pursue the truth, or choose to reassure most people?"

***

Zhuang Mingqi, who had already got up, sat back down again.

Out of politeness, he didn't ask Guan Ruoyu what the so-called "academic question" was about.But the question raised by Guan Ruoyu is obviously related to his state of anxiety recently.

Zhuang Mingqi is a very sensible person. He will not easily throw out a point of view, nor will he simply respond to a serious question.He thought about the current situation, and replied: "It depends on your original purpose. You originally wanted to pursue the truth, but you wanted to make others and yourself feel at ease?"

Guan Ruoyu was not surprised by Mr. Zhuang's quick investigation of "what if it is reality", he just smiled: "Your answer is quite philosophical... I can only say that at the beginning, I thought the truth was It can be reassuring.”

"But in fact, the world is not so black and white." Zhuang Mingqi replied, "If you ask me for advice, then I suggest you take a break for a while and let it go. You first figure out what you want Only by knowing what is it can you understand which path you should choose. Only by knowing the goal can you keep moving towards it.”

"...What a bowl of chicken soup for the soul." Guan Ruoyu smiled, "But I just don't know what I want, so I'm bothered. What do you mean by kicking the ball back?"

"I'm not a roundworm in your stomach, and I can't make decisions for you." Zhuang Mingqi replied indifferently, "Of course, you can communicate with me. Although I won't give a clear result, I can give you advice."

Guan Ruoyu raised his eyebrows: "Then you suggest that I think about it myself?"

"Yes." Zhuang Mingqi didn't think it was nonsense at all, he paused, and said again, "Is there anything else?"

Seeing that he was about to get up again, Guan Ruoyu suddenly smiled: "Yes."

"what?"

"Help me pass two more levels of the game?"
