Just after the Qingming Festival, Beijing is still filled with a slightly cool spring.

Cheng Lingxi stretched out his thin hand that lacked blood, closed the skylight with the remote control, then rubbed his sore knees, leaned back on the chair and breathed a sigh of relief.

At lunchtime, the office is as empty as it is now, in stark contrast to the bustle outside.

The cherry blossoms through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows were planted by the company at a great price, and at the moment they are not moistened by the drizzle, blooming brightly, and many young people come and go smiling like cherry blossoms on their heads, with the unique eyebrows and eyes of the game company employees.

Lingxi stared at them blankly, and suddenly realized that he had been in the company for a long time, but he had never been to the cafeteria with everyone.

Probably because the personality is not good at socializing, and it is inconvenient for the legs to move, it is very easy to cause trouble.

So I always feel that it is better to be at ease in the small world of hiding in the corner with a lunch box.

Cheng Lingxi has always been like this in terms of socialization, and it has been three years since he graduated from college, but he still feels clumsy about being alive.

Not to mention making friends and falling in love, I don't even have a clue how to mingle with my colleagues.

However, as long as it is harmless to live in the world, there is nothing wrong with spending each day as you like, right?

She shook her head blankly, reached out and turned off the screen full of code in front of her, connected the monitor to the external host, and switched to the Bilibili homepage.

Who knew that when he was about to watch the episode of anime bibimbap, Huang Hongyu, who had just left, walked back in a hurry, and said in an enthusiastic tone: "This is our R&D area, and the art department is sitting in the innermost rows." ”

Probably another excellent new colleague has joined the company and is introducing the project.

Lingxi knew that the impression he gave to the leader was very autistic, but he fell easily, and there was no need to communicate awkwardly, so he still lowered his eyes slightly and pretended not to be there.

"How many employees are there in the art department?" Another voice rang out.

Cheng Lingxi heard it defenselessly, and instantly petrified.

Huang Hongyu is usually very popular and enthusiastic about everyone: "There are more than forty now, and I will recruit again if I don't have enough in the future, after all, the game has just been established, and it is not yet the time for a large number of resources......"

His tirade was suddenly interrupted by noise, which turned out to be the cup that Lingxi got up and hit on the ground.

The steaming milk spread to the edge of the carpet, filling the air with an untimely sweet aroma.

"Yes, I'm sorry." Lingxi apologized in a very small voice, and then squatted down to clean up.

Her long hair was crooked to the side, looking a little wolfy.

Huang Hongyu didn't know what was wrong with this girl, so he was stunned for a moment before laughing: "The program girl is excited to find out that there is a handsome guy, Lingxi, this is Xiao Yunshen, the new art director of our studio." ”

Xiao Yunshen.

Shaw. Cloud. Deep.

These three words made Lingxi's heart panic because of that voice, and turned into an atom/bullet in his heart in a geometric multiple of the release of energy, an instant explosion.

Why is he here?

Does he recognize himself?

Will he remember his voice as well?

……

Cheng Lingxi didn't have time to think about these questions, so he could only stand up under pressure and put down the eye-protecting flat glasses: "Hello." ”

Life inevitably has such a dilemma: the inside is overturned, but the surface is desperately calm.

The man who had already walked in front of her was slender and bright-eyed, making his simple white shirt look clean and good-looking.

"Don't tease other girls." He first patted Huang Hongyu's shoulder without seeing it, and then tried to take the broom in Lingxi's hand: "I'll help you." ”

So warm and unfamiliar, it is the most polite care for strangers.

I don't recognize it, so it's the best.

- Cheng Lingxi gave up on himself as if he had fallen off a cliff, and smiled awkwardly: "No need." ”

"It's okay, Lingxi, you call the cleaner to collect it, we can't handle this carpet." Huang Hongyu said: "Yunshen, you come with me to the conference room to talk." ”

"Okay." Xiao Yunshen inadvertently glanced at the girl's table, and noticed that FATE and the King Arthurian figure on the table had been silently played on the screen for a long time, and immediately bent his eyes: "I also love Saber (Note (1)), what a coincidence." ”

After saying this, he turned and strode away.

Cheng Lingxi, who had returned to calm, only noticed himself at this moment: his whole body was trembling unexpectedly.

Although she felt a little absurd, she also had to admit the reality: Xiao Yunshen would not recognize herself.

No one in this world will remember the ordinary girl who only met for three minutes six years ago.

The only one who can't let go is her Cheng Lingxi.

Faye Wong once sang "How brave you have to be to dare not forget".

If, as the lyrics say, unforgettable is not considered cowardly, then Xiao Yunshen is probably the only person in Cheng Lingxi's gray life, and it is also the most untimely and useless bravery.

――

The entry of the new art director soon set off some excitement and fluctuations in the project, especially the chatter of the art department, and several original artists have been asking questions at Xiao Yunshen's table as if they had met a big star.

Not far away, Lingxi typed the code for a long time with headphones, and his usually clear brain seemed to have encountered a whisk and became a mess.

Finally she couldn't help but get up, dragged her sluggish legs and moved slowly, hiding in the bathroom cubicle without a chance.

To be honest, since it is an important deceased, who doesn't want to come forward and say hello generously?

But the stupid behavior at the beginning has made her pay a heavy price and lose all qualifications.

If you go back in time, will you still be so magical?

Lingxi thought bitterly, and the tears that had been hidden for six years finally couldn't help but flow out, and fell on the flat mirror because he lowered his head, making his vision blurry.

The heroines of other love stories live in the soft light of luck.

And she sat on the toilet and sobbed, like an ostrich with her head stuck in a hole.

At this moment, a game planner suddenly opened the door and shouted, "Lingxi, are you here?" ”

Cheng Lingxi hurriedly agreed vaguely: "Yes." ”

"My animation of winning the battle can't be broadcast.,It seems to have a bug.,Please help me check it.。 The planner said.

"Okay." Lingxi agreed.

No matter how bad your mood is, you shouldn't delay your work.

She quickly wiped her face with her sleeve and walked out of the cubicle with her glasses to wash up.

Unexpectedly, Hua Wan, the most enthusiastic artist in the project, was touching up her makeup in front of the mirror, and she looked at her in surprise: "What's wrong with you?" ”

Lingxi lied embarrassedly: "My stomach hurts ......"

Hua Wan is as tall as a model, and kind-hearted, often plays the role of taking care of people, and when she heard the words, she habitually said: "The eldest aunt is too painful, just ask for leave to go back, the boss won't say anything." ”

"It's not so strict." Lingxi wiped her glasses with a tissue and put them back on, then tied her long messy hair back up at her shoulders.

is probably maintaining this kind of aunt style every day, which makes her look even more unenergetic.

"I have brown sugar, and I have a warm baby! I'll give you later! Hua Wan smiled and said: "Wow, have you seen our new director, it turned out to be Xiao Dashen, his design is amazing, I have been to his art exhibition before, I have bought his online class, I didn't expect ......"

Her cheerful voice sounded faint to Lingxi's ears.

What kind of person Xiao Yunshen is, maybe he knows better than anyone else, but so what?

After all, they are strangers and have nothing to do with each other.

Thoughts like a nightmare are really ingrained and out of place.

Cheng Lingxi didn't know how to say goodbye to Hua Wan and leave the bathroom empty-minded.

It's just that as soon as she went out, she was knocked to the ground by a guy who walked by like the wind.

"I'm sorry, I'm in too much of a hurry." It turned out to be Xiao Yunshen himself who caused the trouble, and he immediately turned around and helped Lingxi up to apologize.

But Lingxi sensitively shook off his hand, covered his sore nose from the ground, and didn't dare to look at him at all, so he walked slowly towards his seat.

Xiao Yunshen, who was still in a hurry to see the vice president, blinked in confusion, not knowing where he had offended this girl.
