stray

Chapter 15

Yan Ruizhi walked for a while, and He Nian estimated the time, and after about 10 minutes, he took out his mobile phone and started contacting his wronged friends.

When Wen Huai arrived, He Nian had just finished washing the dishes, so he was not very proficient. He obviously only had the workload of two bowls and one pot, but in a daze, the whole sink was dripping.

Originally, the house was old, and it was still on the first floor. If there were a little more, the floor would not be able to support it.

Wen Huai was taken aback when he saw the battle, and pulled him over, jokingly saying, "Why are college students who are diligent and thrifty in managing their families so wasteful of water resources!"

He Nian frowned: "How did I know I could miss so much."

But at the end of the day, now that I have done it, I also rubbed the shirt that was soaked in rain, and then hung it up.

"How about you enjoying the flowers today..."

"You still mention this?" He Nian gave him a resentful look.

But when he thought that if it wasn't for the oolong, he wouldn't be able to eat the noodles made by Yan Ruizhi, and instantly felt that it was worth it, and his tone became better: "Forget it, the house you are looking for is not bad."

Wen Huai had a complicated expression: "You don't really want to live here for a while, do you?"

"Going back to live on weekends, it's okay to sleep here for a few nights occasionally." He Nian didn't resist as much as Wen Huai imagined, and said happily, "If it wasn't for coming here yesterday and knowing the way, I would have almost revealed my secrets today."

Wen Huai still didn't understand what this person was playing, but just about to speak, he was stunned when he saw the LOGO on the New Year's clothes, and then laughed exaggeratedly in the next second.

This laugh lasted for a full minute without stopping, and He Nian's original calmness was collapsed by his laughter. He was impatient and even a little ashamed, and his earlobe was a little red: "Is it so funny?"

He just came to visit yesterday, because the aunt at home was worried, so she collected some clothes and put them away.

As a result, it was raining today. At that time, I decided to wear it for New Year’s Eve, but when Yan Rui said something, he came in to change clothes. After searching for a long time, he couldn’t find one that fit his current status. He decided to choose a logo that looked like biggest.

Wen Huai took another look, pointing to the "C" on his clothes: "Did you pick the other half off with your hands?"

Just imagining the scene of this man sneaking around in the room, bit by bit digging out the genuine product into the worst imitation, Wen Huai couldn't hold back his laughter after finally putting it away.

He Nian glanced at him, and didn't bother to lie anymore: "I'm picking like that."

Wen Huai finally stopped laughing: "It's not bad, the taste is right."

"My brother asked, are you free today? I'm pestering you to do, house, and teach." Wen Huai recited the last few words emphatically.

"Go ahead, I can still mix up two photos." He Nian stood up and said brazenly.

He Nian's own house is just across from Wenhuai, and the freshman school didn't allow him to move out, and he didn't do anything special, he honestly stayed in the dormitory for a year.

In the year he lived in school, he was low-key, and his personality was good and friendly. No one paid attention to his background, and he got along with his classmates.

The two walked out of the family building, and when the door was closed, a piece of wall was shaken off due to the vibration.

Wen Huai looked at the environment and frowned: "You can't keep doing this."

He Nian didn't speak immediately, but sighed first.

"I know."

"Then you still..."

"But I can't find any other way." He Nian lowered his head, "I seem to make mistakes every step of the way, and now I'm confused..."

"Why don't you confess to him?"

"But he now thinks I'm a poor college student." He Nian questioned.

"The other party is definitely not someone who cares about status, why don't you try confessing directly?"

He Nian shook his head, remembering Yan Ruizhi's statement that night: "Then we can't keep this relationship now, maybe you just block me and never contact me again."

There was annoyance in his voice: "I acted like... It's pretty obvious, he's so smart, how could he not be able to see it at all."

Before Wen Huai could speak, he gave himself the answer: "If you can see it, just pretend you don't know."

"And now he and I are hanging by such an ungraspable agreement," He Nian said distressedly, "It's so difficult."

Wen Huai really didn't know what to do, and couldn't give good advice. Seeing his friend's distraught appearance, he just wanted to say a few words of comfort when he heard New Year's tone change.

"But it's okay." He didn't know where his fighting spirit came from, and ambitiously swept away the haze just now, "I'll make it through again, and I'm going back to be a queen!"

"..."

Although he didn't know the cause and effect, Wen Huai firmly believed at this moment that his distress just now was completely superfluous.

Yan Ruizhi naturally didn't know what He Nian was plotting now, so he didn't go home, so he asked the driver to take him back to the company.

They have two projects in hand, one game A with a relatively low cost, and the other game B which is still in the early stages of development.

Making a game is like building a house. After finalizing the basic content such as the story background, art style, economic system, and combat model, you start to build it bit by bit. The producer participates in the planning, and then the program is developed and planned. After the acceptance is passed It's just testing and reworking again and again.

His company did not enforce standard commuting hours, but now that Project A has entered the testing phase, when he walked in, he saw that many lights were still on.

Hao Shuai didn't leave either, and was surprised to see him coming: "What time are you here?"

"Hmm." He opened the office door and said succinctly, "Test."

Except for the art plan and battle model, which are checked by Hao Shuai and the rest of the main artists, Yan Ruizhi will basically participate in other links.

It stands to reason that now that the division of labor is clear, there is no need to work so hard, but even if it is a small-cost project, he does not want to treat it roughly.

The current testing stage does not need to be connected to the device. This is a dislocation decryption. The story line and other components are relatively thin, but the images and screens are simple and advanced, and the dislocations are very delicate. You can often find clearance in places where mountains and rivers are at a disadvantage. A scene method.

When he is busy, he forgets the time. He often stops to record the current parameters. It is not interesting to test an unfinished work repeatedly, but he does not feel tired. He just wants to make his house little by little. set up.

It was the same back then. At that time, Hao Shuai hadn’t joined, and there were only a few people in the studio. At that time, Yuan Hua was still an employee of a state-owned enterprise, and he squeezed the rest of the time to complete the task with his enthusiasm.

When he stopped to take a sip of water, he realized that it was already late at night.

Hao Shuai didn't know when he left, and there were still a few developments that were reversed day and night in the company. Yan Ruizhi gave up the idea of ​​going home, and simply went back to continue to improve the follow-up work.

When he returned to the office, Yan Ruizhi picked up his long-neglected mobile phone and found several unread messages unsurprisingly.

[Reasonable: Mr. Yan's moonlight tonight is so round!so big! 】

Seeing this line of writing, Yan Ruizhi raised his head and looked out the window.

Although there are still thin clouds in the sky, they do not cover the full moon, and the clear light still falls, standing on the quiet treetops.

It's pretty good-looking, but I remembered that the person who sent me the message also took literature appreciation as an elective. In the end, he compared himself to Wang Baochuan, and described the moon as so round and big.

Yan Ruizhi laughed, thinking.

This message was followed by another one, from an hour ago.

【Reasonable: Good night】

Yan Ruizhi put away his phone and sat down again wearing the moonlight.

But the New Year is right.

The sunset is so beautiful that it won't rain any more at night.

Yan Ruizhi went home at noon the next day.

In the morning meeting, he still looked energetic. He distributed the results of a busy night to various departments for revision, and he was not ready to go back until he explained everything in detail.

Hao Shuai quickly opened the door and came in while he was still there: "Good brother!"

Generally, if you are so excited, there must be some news: "Gossip or business?"

"Business is business!"

Hao Shuai almost replaced Liang Xiaoyou as the first-hand mouthpiece: "I told you that your trip to Yunlin City last time was useful. Jingxing contacted us and wanted to talk about the release. You can still talk about it tomorrow."

The decryption project they are currently working on has been decided a long time ago, and the release is done by themselves, and the main promotion is abroad, so the rest is...

Yan Ruizhi was a little surprised.

Obviously, the last time he had just chatted with someone about friendship.

"But let's talk about it first. It's still uncertain." Although there was only a hint, Hao Shuai was so excited that he seemed to have settled down. "It seems that my appendicitis last time was not in vain."

He made a superstitious gesture: "It's all God's will! If I were to go, maybe I wouldn't receive such news."

"There is no horoscope, please calm down first."

"That's right, I'm going to prepare well now." Hao Shuai was full of fighting spirit, "After all, cooperation is a big deal, if it really happens, at least you don't have to worry about buying volume when it's released, and you can save a lot of money to return to research and development. "

"What about the operation?" Yan Ruizhi asked calmly.

Hao Shuai froze: "I know, you are just worried that the other party will meddle too much..."

He sighed, knowing that Yan Ruizhi was very persistent in this aspect: "I will be with you when we talk in two days, let's talk first?"

It's a good thing after all, Yan Ruizhi nodded without saying anything more.

Hao Shuai waved to him, staying up late is common in their business, he naturally knew that Yan Rui didn't sleep all night: "Get some rest, the little request you made today is enough for another week of work, if you have anything to go back, we can talk again. "

"it is good."

"Oh, by the way, isn't there a shopping mall near your house?" Hao Shuai thought of something, and went to get the car keys, "Then I'll take you back, there is a store there, the salesman left me a new model two days ago, I'll drop by Let's try, together?"

Mr. Hao is the special VIP of this family, and Yan Ruizhi did not refuse.

When he walked in, Yan Ruizhi realized that this store was the brand he wore during the New Year's Eve yesterday.

Hao Shuai tried two sets, and seeing Yan Ruizhi staring at a dress with only a logo on it for a long time, he asked curiously, "This style is quite young, why do you suddenly like this kind of clothes?"

Yan Ruizhi looked away from the letter "O" on the dress, and said lightly, "No."

The clerk saw that he was interested: "Sir, is it for you to choose, or for someone else to choose?"

Hao Shuai had already gone in to try on clothes, and Yan Ruizhi said, "Show me, college student."

"Then the one you saw just now is very suitable for young people, and there are several other models, I will show you..."

After Hao Shuai ordered a few sets, he walked out and found that Yan Ruizhi was already carrying a paper bag in his hand.

He wondered, and when he came out, he said, "Didn't you always dislike this brand? I bought you before and said it looked like a flower peacock!"

Yan Ruizhi's expression was calm: "It varies from person to person."

Then he ignored Hao Shuai's complaints and went home alone.

Just waiting for Yan Ruizhi to take a shower, looking at the paper bag lying quietly on the table, the action of putting on his pajamas paused.

Inside is a solid-color shirt with a casual shape and the LOGO hidden behind, which is inconspicuous, simple and clean.

It is estimated that the sales were too enthusiastic, and Yan Ruizhi didn't realize it until he made the payment.

The size of He Nian's clothes is also easy to guess. Yan Ruizhi has seen him bare-chested more than once. His forearms are strong, and the lines of his waist and abdomen are smooth and not exaggerated. been hugged.

He immediately recovered from such thoughts, and even wondered if he was a little groggy because he didn't sleep all night.

What do you buy for yourself?

If it was given to him, would He Nian accept it, or would he have other ideas?

Will you be angry?

Or accept it happily?

Unable to come up with a conclusion, the more Yan Ruizhi thought about it, the more he felt that he was not so clear-headed when he paid.

He didn't have much appetite for lunch, so he walked over to put the paper bag in the corner of the closet, and then went to bed and closed his eyes.

I slept until dusk, and when I woke up, my stomach was no longer hungry. It was just that I was highly concentrated last night. Now I can't sleep, but my head still feels a little empty.

After simply getting something to fill his stomach, Yan Ruizhi warmed up a glass of milk, held the glass and sat down in the study.

After all, he was going to talk about cooperation with Jingxing, so he cheered up, and after contacting Hao Shuai, he began to prepare materials for tomorrow.

After watching for a while, the dizziness and drowsiness did not decrease but increased. Yan Ruizhi frowned and took a painkiller from the medicine box, which relieved a little.

Today's New Year's greetings are not posted, the moon is so big and round, so I didn't bother Yan Ruizhi much, and instead posted a sentence "My Xiaowangcai is so obedient and white" in Moments.

Yan Ruizhi didn't expect that he would be distracted more than once today, so he put down his phone and refocused, finished the remaining half cup of cold milk, squeezed the space between his eyebrows and continued.

It stands to reason that Hao Shuai can go today, but the first communication is especially important, and Yan Ruizhi went to Beijing with him.

The other party was also very sincere, Zhao Jing himself came to greet him, Hao Shuai was dressed as his name today, with him in Yan Ruizhi, there was less need for greetings.

The building of Jingxing is well-built, and it can be seen that there is a big group behind it. Hao Shuai took this opportunity to discuss with Yan Ruizhi in a low voice: "Didn't you say that Xiaohe is doing an internship here? According to the strength of Jingxing , Didn’t arrange accommodation last time?”

Yan Ruizhi said how this person remembered better than himself: "How do I know."

"Then do you think Xiaohe will be here now?"

Yan Ruizhi frowned and looked at him, but didn't answer at all.

Fortunately, I didn't tell him about myself and He Nian, otherwise Hao Shuai would pester him to ask questions all the way after returning.

But he was also curious, because He Nian said that he was only a short-term intern in Beijing, and he didn't know what he was doing now, and whether he was still there.

The communication process was fairly smooth. Although Yan Ruizhi didn't talk much, he was very persistent in terms of operations. His attitude was correct and polite, but he was also calm and firm.However, the other party was more gentle than Yan Ruizhi thought, but he also had some reservations. The two parties agreed to discuss the subsequent process in detail when the deo of another big project in Youyu's hands was completed.

Zhao Jing still had a meeting to hold, and seeing that Yan Ruizhi and Hao Shuai didn't intend to stay to visit the company, he ended today's exchange with a polite sentence or two.

The two didn't let the secretary see them off, and after saying goodbye, they entered the elevator together.

"That little classmate of yours isn't here." Hao Shuai joked with him.

"You care about him so much, why don't you go to the next class?" Yan Ruizhi didn't want to talk to him.

There are a lot of people in Jingxing, and they have recently accepted the distribution cases of several big studios, so it is inevitable to meet some familiar colleagues when going up and down the stairs.

Counting achievements, Yan Ruizhi is the youngest group in the entire industry, but because there are too few appearances, there are not many people who say hello.

Therefore, when they saw the person walking in in the elevator, Hao Shuai, who was still joking, fell silent for a moment, and both parties were a little surprised.

The person who entered the elevator was also a young man, wearing an expensive custom-made suit and a Patek Philippe on his hand. He was tall and tall, and his facial features looked a bit crowded, but he had a pair of delicate glasses on the bridge of his nose.

But this pair of glasses did not make his temperament soft or gentle, but the overall sense of incongruity was magnified, making the fierce look obvious and a little aggressive—even though he had already laughed, it was very painful. Friendly look.

"What a coincidence." The correct way of greeting, followed by a reminiscing beginning, "Long time no see."

Yan Ruizhi looked at him quietly, with good eyes and no emotion.

When the elevator door closed, Yan Ruizhi glanced at Hao Shuai, who was facing a formidable enemy, and said calmly: "It's been a long time."

The glasses on the bridge of the man's nose had no lenses, and he took a step closer to them: "Then, how is President Yan?"

"It's good that you're gone." Hao Shuai couldn't hold back, and said in a cold voice.

"Why do you say that, we are all old classmates," the man lowered his voice, "That's called going our separate ways."

"Zhou Hongsheng, anyone else is fine, but you don't have the face to say that." Hao Shuai gritted his teeth and sneered.

Zhou Hongsheng knew that both of them were hostile to him, but the expression on his face remained the same, and he changed the subject: "Are you also here to chat about the release?"

"Then I'm fairly experienced in this area." Zhou Hongsheng's voice was a little thick, and the tone he tried to soften made him even more uncomfortable.

There was no one else in the elevator, so Hao Shuai sneered, "Is it plagiarized splicing experience?"

Zhou Hongsheng smiled a little, and although he was answering him, he kept staring at Yan Ruizhi: "Good wine is also afraid of deep alleys. You should understand this truth better than me."

"Good wine," Hao Shuai couldn't understand him, and said directly, "You don't think that carefully packaged swill can be called a good bar?"

"I'm not talking to you." Zhou Hongsheng said calmly.

Yan Ruizhi, who had been silent all this time, raised his eyes: "Zhou Hongsheng, is it interesting to pretend like this?"

The elevator was still slowly descending. After these words, the other party finally put away the superficial smile and replaced it with an emotional tone: "You still haven't changed at all."

"You too." Yan Ruizhi looked at him with raised eyebrows, raised his jaw slightly, and even hooked the corners of his lips.

Zhou Hongsheng was obviously stunned by this smile: "Ruizhi——"

Seeing that he wanted to reach out to touch him, Yan Ruizhi dodged sideways, but still looked at him with complicated emotions in his eyes.

"Ruizhi," he called again affectionately, "You said back then that I was..."

With a sound of "ding", the elevator beeped and stopped on the tenth floor.

Zhou Hongsheng didn't speak the second half of the sentence. Seeing that the person who came was a young student with an internship card hanging on his chest, he didn't care. He continued, "...is your best friend."

However, the reaction he expected did not come.

Yan Ruizhi's expression was a little surprised, but it was not because of the fluctuation caused by his words.

And Hao Shuai at the side has already excitedly greeted him, as if meeting some acquaintance: "Xiaohe!!"

Because He Nian didn't know Hao Shuai's name, but he was familiar with him, he nodded at him, stuttered and then looked at Yan Ruizhi: "Boss Yan!!"

Yan Ruizhi looked at him, his tense eyes finally relaxed a bit: "Yes."

Finally, someone pleasing to the eye appeared, and Hao Shuai said, "What a coincidence!"

"Oh!" He Nian obediently nodded and agreed, "What a coincidence!"

Yan Ruizhi found it funny, and introduced Hao Shuai to He Nian in disbelief.

"Hello, Mr. Hao!" He Nian greeted immediately politely.

"Hey!" Hao Shuai agreed.

The atmosphere in the elevator car suddenly became cheerful, and Zhou Hongsheng, who originally wanted to reminisce about the old days, seemed out of place.

It's just a student, Zhou Hongsheng took a look at him, then looked away, and continued to look at Yan Ruizhi, because there were other people around, the smile on his face appeared again: "Ruizhi, what a coincidence today, if there is nothing to do later— —”

His invitation was interrupted by a blind man before it was sent out.

Like a student who just joined the company and didn't know how to listen to the leader's speech, He Nian looked at Yan Ruizhi with admiration, but changed his address: "Teacher Yan!"

"I've been wanting to find you with questions since you finished class last time, but you've been too busy to be free, and I'm too embarrassed to take the initiative to find you..." His voice also showed a thoughtful and undisturbed attitude because he was sensible. Wronged.

"But I didn't expect that we could meet here!" However, as the content progressed, the grievance just now turned into ecstasy of reverence, "I'm doing an internship at Jingxing, are you free? I want to ask you something I don't understand question."

"...This classmate," probably because He Nian was a little too excited, Zhou Hongsheng's pretended understanding was compared, "Since you know your teacher is very busy, you should not bother him."

"Ah, I'm sorry," He Nian immediately apologized to Yan Ruizhi, "Then Mr. Yan, I'll go to school to find you when I'm free."

Seeing that his words were effective, Zhou Hongsheng wanted to take advantage of the last bit of time to circle around: "Ruizhi, there is a coffee shop nearby, let's chat casually—"

"Teacher Yan!" He Nian interrupted him again and started talking nonsense, "Then I'll go first! Teacher Yan! Thinking of you coming to class next week, I will definitely sit in the front row of Teacher Yan!"

The level of noise made Hao Shuai feel ashamed. He opened his mouth slightly and said "Wow" silently.

A real smile appeared on Yan Ruizhi's face, and the elevator sounded the sound, and he walked out first: "Don't wait until next week, I'm free now."

He Nian followed immediately, leaving only Zhou Hongsheng, who was unable to speak in the end, walking out unwillingly: "Ruizhi!"

This time Yan Ruizhi stood still and turned around.

"Don't call me that." Yan Ruizhi didn't even bother to correct the topic of whether he was a good friend, and glanced at Zhou Hongsheng lightly, "Also, I think what my friend said is quite right."

"Swill is just swill, and it won't make any difference if it's put in a golden jade basin."

After that, he quickened his pace, ignored the other party's expression, and walked straight out of the door.

Meeting Zhou Hongsheng made today not so wonderful. For the first time, Yan Ruizhi felt that the coincidence of He Nian made him feel a lot more comfortable.

So much so that he didn't want to care about his contrived performance in the elevator just now.

Thinking of this, he just wanted to ask He Nian, but when he turned around, he saw that the two people in the back had chatted in full swing, like old friends who hit it off right away.

"Don't call me Mr. Hao, call me Mr. Hao, everyone in our company calls me that." Hao Shuai introduced himself enthusiastically, "So you are an intern at Beijing Bank, and you are half of your colleagues!"

He Nian immediately humbled: "No, I noticed you too. Today is really a meeting in life."

Hao Shuai said "Hey": "Yes!"

Yan Rui's face was speechless: "..."

"I remember that you came to deliver coffee twice last time. At that time, I thought, you are not just an ordinary waiter!" The two were still walking and chatting, and Hao Shuai began to drag the text, "Look at me Remember your name, it really isn't something in the pool!"

"No, no, I saw you at the same time," He Nian immediately followed, "I didn't expect you to be so powerful at such a young age!"

"Come, come, Xiaohe, add a WeChat message."

"Okay! I'll sweep you."

Watching the two literary greats add friends to each other like singing a double reed, Yan Ruizhi's emotions when he met Zhou Hongsheng were swept away by them.

Before he could speak, Hao Shuai took the initiative to speak: "Xiaohe, if you have any questions, just ask you, Mr. Yan, he is very patient and gentle. Although I really want to treat you to dinner today, I still have something to do. I'm leaving."

Then he gave Yan Ruizhi a look, which meant "I like you guys".

He simply didn't know where Hao Shuai's super high favorability for He Nian came from, and he couldn't laugh or cry.

Yan Ruizhi walked over in two steps, and the other party still smiled and called him: "Teacher Yan!"

"I know you want to help me." With such strong observation skills, He Nian must have noticed something was wrong as soon as he came in, and then he began to pretend to help.

He Nian still looked at him with a good temper, maybe because his tense mood suddenly relaxed, he looked at He Nian's face, and suddenly felt that the way he deliberately interrupted just now was quite cute.

The other party called him again, and Yan Ruizhi's eyes bent indistinctly, and he reached out his hand to touch He Nian's hair lightly.

"Okay, stop acting." He said, "Let's go, I'll take you out to dinner."
