It was another sunny afternoon, and the studio was completely silent.

At this time, the group of assistants who had gone out for lunch had not yet returned to work.

Xiao Yun, who was defeated in the battle again, took a deep breath in depression, and after turning off the DND client, he leaned back in his chair and was in a daze.

He used to be still in high spirits no matter how he lost, but recently he has been busy sneaking around, but the more he plays, the more depressed he becomes.

The reason for not doing it is to think, of course, because the little goddess disappeared.

Since the missed appointment that day, Baozi has never played the game again, occasionally showing his head on the chat tool, and his answers have become more and more concise.

Xiao Yun, who couldn't understand the reason, was deeply worried, and couldn't help but guess: Could it be that she fell in love at school?

It really made him a little depressed.

Anyone imagines that Baozi will no longer be gentle and gentle with himself, but will throw himself into the arms of a little boy, Xiao Yunshen has a kind of ** who wants to break the digital pen.

Playing games together has finally changed from a purpose to a rhetoric, and I don't really want her to lead me to win, if it's just like that, it would be good to spend some money to find a sparring partner.

He just kept unconsciously enjoying every minute and every second of his time with her.

I like to wait for her to type seriously and listen to her soft voice.

even thought about it because of the girl's occasional out-of-control statement.

Xiao Yunshen thought about this, and couldn't help frowning:, it can't really be online dating now, right?

Like, eight / nine is not far from ten......

"Teacher, are you cultivating immortals?" Xiao Yun, who was petrified, was suddenly woken up.

He looked back at the assistant sister in the studio and said, "No appetite, lose weight." ”

"Is it okay to lose weight and exercise, what's the matter with being hungry, give." The assistant handed him a McDonald's bag.

Xiao Yunshen didn't want to abandon his real life, he took it and ate it silently, his face full of lifelessness.

"I can't bear to remind you of your resentful little appearance, but it's two and twenty now, do you remember your color lesson?" The assistant asked again.

At this moment, Xiao Yunshen woke up like a dream, quickly picked up the car keys, and hurriedly ran out of the studio.

――

Mr. Xiao gave lectures at the art training company, and most of them were courtesy and favors in the circle.

Those companies need industry gods as signboards, and Xiao Yunshen also needs them to expand their business for themselves.

So he is still more concerned about this matter.

The new artists who have just entered the society urgently need to master some more practical painting skills, and most of them are fans of Xiao Yunshen, so the atmosphere of the class is positive and relaxed.

Xiao Yunshen first demonstrated several sets of popular color matching methods and design ideas on the computer, and then came to the interest and asked them to hand-paint watercolors on the spot.

The students, who had long been accustomed to drawing on a pen tablet, started working with great interest, so that the room full of mechanical smell suddenly returned to the quiet atmosphere of the art academy.

"Teacher, you can draw one too." There was a young man who made a fuss.

Xiao Yunshen walked around twice, read their line drafts, and then said, "Okay." ”

After finishing speaking, I found a set of simple watercolor utensils and sketched them in front of the easel.

I don't know how long it was the last time he was so serious about drawing the shape of his heart with real paper and pen.

Technology has changed so many things in this era that long-term memories have been separated from the other side of time and gradually become inaccessible.

A beautiful and moving watercolor painting, which took more than an hour of effort, is freshly baked.

Xiao Yunshen's attainments in color are the most commendable, and his rare hand-painted works were naturally warmly praised by his classmates, and he was almost robbed on the spot.

"I'm sorry, I can't give it to you, I have someone I want to send it." Xiao Yun smiled deeply, took the watercolor paper off the painting clip, and his calm tone became very gentle for a while.

――

"Lingxi, the money you sent home for the last award was all for your dad to buy medicine, and he has been getting better a lot recently." Cheng's mother rarely called her daughter's dormitory, and I am afraid that she also begged her grandfather to tell her grandmother with her neighbors, so she only changed to a few minutes of this call.

Lingxi's nose was sour, and he whispered, "That's good." ”

Her bonus, except for the hundreds of yuan points for Xiao Yunshen, gave the rest to her parents.

It's a pity, it's definitely a drop in the bucket.

"I'm sorry for you, kid." Cheng's mother felt guilty.

"It's not bitter, I'm very happy at school." Cheng Lingxi lied and said: "It's just that I have to do a project during this year's winter vacation, and I don't have time to go home to accompany you, so you have to be good." ”

Then, the mother and daughter held back their desire to cry and exchanged a few words of greeting.

Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and the poor and lowly are even more sad.

After Lingxi hung up the phone, his feelings were very low.

She didn't know where to find money to help ease her parents' burden.

Even for the emotions he released on Xiao Yunshen, he felt guilty.

Fairy tales are beautifully written, but in reality, poor people are not entitled to enjoy life, let alone love.

It seems that those shoes should never be bought, and if the money she earned from her part-time job is not handed over to her parents immediately, will she still waste it for herself?

Besides, what if you buy high heels, you don't have a skirt to match anyway.

Lingxi sighed in confusion, turned around and went back to the computer to continue writing programming homework.

Unexpectedly, after being deserted for many days, the chat software suddenly received a message from Mr. Xiao.

Lingxi opened it and looked at it, and then his eyes turned red.

"Baozi, I don't know what you're afraid of, what you're running away from, maybe my recklessness has disturbed your life, but I'm really happy to meet you, and I hope to appear in front of you to express my heart seriously, just like I said before, even if I can only be a friend, it's a good thing, tomorrow I'm going to Japan again, I left a gift at the doorman of the community, you probably don't want to see me, but don't forget to get it."

After sending these words, Xiao Yunshen's avatar was gray.

Cheng Lingxi is very introverted, but there is no city government, she is just a little girl who has not been deeply involved in the world, because she tasted the helplessness of life too early, and was ruled by a sense of escape.

At this moment, the longings and entanglements that had been pent up for too long swept through her heart like a tidal wave, leaving wet traces.

――

Two days later, the warm sun was shining in Beijing in winter.

Lingxi, who couldn't resist the temptation, took the car to the vicinity of Xiao Yunshen's community again, hesitated repeatedly, and finally had an idea, grabbed a primary school student crossing the street, and tricked him into getting a gift for himself with ten yuan.

I don't know how Mr. Xiao asked the doorman, after reporting the name of the bun, the kid really dragged out a big package and asked for payment with a smile.

"Thank you." Cheng Lingxi handed the banknote to him, and then he didn't care about anything else, and tore open the simple packaging on the outside while walking towards the bus stop.

If you touch the shape, you will know that there is another painting inside.

When I opened it, it was not true.

The watercolor depicts a girl in a simple black hoodie standing in the rain, holding an assassin's twin blades in a cold light.

This is probably a bun that Xiao Yun imagined deeply.

Unlike the real thing, the female Assassin had a beautiful face and long hair that splashed with ink.

She is a star in the darkness, not a wolf and touched little girl on the side of a chaotic street.

Cheng Lingxi wiped the tears rolling down his face indiscriminately, and walked into the crowd with the painting in his arms, as if he was holding some holy weapon, careful and cherished.

She can feel the weight of the frame, the temperature of the paper, just like feeling Xiao Yunshen's incomparably real existence, so turbulent and thrilling, at this moment, Lingxi no longer pity herself, no longer cranky, but only want to enjoy this hard-won happy time, and pray that she can be immersed forever.

32

When he registered a DND account, Cheng Lingxi was particularly anxious, and he just looked forward to finding Mr. Xiao on the Internet as soon as possible, so he was not relentless in filling in the information.

Now, when she learned that he came to Yixun to find buns, she was naturally completely dumbfounded.

The little girl who was in a panic hid at home and spent half a night finally unraveling all the information certificates such as ID cards and email addresses that had been bound, but she knew that the operation team would leave records on the customer data server, and her own behavior was a bit difficult to conceal self-deception.

…… What to do?

Continue to play stupid and resign yourself to fate?

Ran to find Xiao Yunshen to confess?

Resign and leave Beijing?

Cheng Lingxi couldn't make a decision, his brows were tightly locked, he sat on the bed and massaged his aching calves with rose oil, and his mind was as desolate as if he had just passed through a tsunami.

This habit has been insisted on for many years, and although the traces of the car accident at that time can no longer be seen on the fair skin, the damaged ligaments have never been restored.

Just like the memory in her mind, even after a lot of time, she still has no chance of perfection.

After such a long time, Xiao Yunshen can still have the idea to go to the company to find buns, which shows that buns are very important girls for him, right?

Besides, why did Xiao Yunshen treat himself so well after joining the company?

Not only is he caring, but he is also very considerate and gentle, and he took the initiative to meet to watch a movie on this day......

Why exactly......

Isn't he looking for buns? Why spend time with others? He really didn't realize the truth?

These two things became unsolvable problems in Lingxi's simple heart.

Eventually, she collapsed on the bed, helplessly covering her face with a pillow, wishing she could just run away from the reality that would come sooner or later.

――

It's easy to feel at ease when you work like a step-by-step thing.

Cheng Lingxi had a rollercoaster weekend, but when he came to the office on Monday, he saw that everyone was still busy, no different from before, and his feelings calmed down.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long.

During the lunch break, a number of property workers came to the project team with huge posters and ladders, and instructed each other to bind to the wall.

Cheng Lingxi, who was left here alone, got up and looked out of curiosity, and after a while, he found out that it was a new game character drawn by the designers of the project team led by Xiao Yunshen a while ago.

Although Hua Wan's subordinates deliberately imitated the teacher's style, Xiao Yunshen's familiar brushstrokes were still very recognizable.

The workers continued to be busy, and no one noticed Cheng Lingxi as he watched.

She quickly looked around for a moment, hurriedly took out her mobile phone, and secretly took a picture of the cute Lori drawn by Mr. Xiao for storage, although the company did not allow employees to take pictures in the office in order to keep the product confidential, but she really wanted to keep a trace of him.

Unexpectedly, after admiring it, Lingxi looked up again, and saw the worker uncle unfolding an extremely unfamiliar and extremely familiar poster, and carefully pasted it next to Lori, which was a female assassin in a black hoodie, with a thin figure, a beautiful face, and a silver short knife shining in the boundless rainy night.

"Wow, the original drawings are all printed? That's efficient! ”

"It's still a good ...... drawn by Mr. Xiao"

"Ah, he painted this assassin too, when did he draw it?"

"I don't know, I haven't seen it."

At this time, the artists who came back from the cafeteria appeared in a noisy manner, and like Cheng Lingxi, they were stunned by the sudden painting, after all, their drafts, step diagrams and finished products were all made public during the work process, and this assassin really fell from the sky.

Hua Wan, who also feels unexpected, has a different expression from everyone.

She suddenly pushed the petrified Cheng Lingxi, and whispered with her eyebrows winning, "Hey, what's going on?" ”

Lingxi suddenly came back to her senses, remembering that this girl had seen the watercolor painting she had secretly hidden at home, she swallowed nervously, and because she couldn't think of any suitable words, she walked back to her seat in a daze.

Hua Wan was confused: "Lingxi? ”

Fortunately, Xiao Yunshen himself also arrived at the office at this time, and greeted everyone with a smile: "I'll see it later, come on, come on, play a game of DND." ”

Cheng Lingxi shrank in his seat, beating to the point that his heart began to calm down as they drifted away.

However, she couldn't ignore the portrait of the Assassin that was close at hand.

If yesterday there were doubts about Xiao Yunshen's identity as a netizen, at this moment, there is no suspense.

――

Hide things in your heart, and live naturally like a year.

I don't know when, Hua Wan suddenly ran over and patted Lingxi on the back: "Hey, hey, silly girl, don't read!" ”

Cheng Lingxi was very worried about what she asked herself, and showed a wary posture.

Who knew that Hua Wan squatted down and whispered: "Oh, I didn't bother with that painting with you, do you know what happened?" My master just opened the DND and looked at it, and suddenly said that he would not play, I asked him why, and he told me that the netizen he was looking for had crossed the line last night. ”

Lingxi's eyes widened and he got up slightly to peek.

"Don't look, Master just ran away in a hurry, he must be looking for an operation." Hua Wan hated that iron could not become steel: "Why don't you hurry up and take a look, don't let this Internet addicted teenager be obsessed, okay?" ”

"I ......" Lingxi's heart was very confused, she did download the client after deleting the information last night, and looked at her only good friend - Yun Shen Shenshen, which is regarded as a nostalgia and farewell to the simple relationship a few years ago, but I didn't expect to leave a record.

Hua Wan didn't want to get too much, and scolded with hatred: "What are you, hurry up!" ”

As he spoke, he picked up Lingxi and shoved her in the direction of the elevator.

――

In fact, Mr. Xiao's rebel did not expect to be wrong, he did go to the office of the fourth operation group, found the operation manager he had deliberately met before, and asked him to help him check the account information of Baozi.

Even if he is a god and a colleague, the manager did not refuse, and only replied after knocking in front of the computer for a while: "The security of this number is very poor, except for the password, there is almost no other information, do you want to retrieve the password?" ”

Xiao Yunshen didn't believe that a girl so serious about Baozi would be so sloppy: "How is it possible? Definitely have been bound to an ID card before. ”

"Maybe it's untied." The manager explained.

"Can you help me look at the history?" Xiao Yunshen has never begged anyone in his life, but for the whereabouts of the buns, he can't care so much.

"Mr. Xiao, it's not that I don't help you, the company has regulations." The manager whispered: "If the insider checks the account, he must provide a complete application document and explain the purpose, otherwise he will ......"

Xiao Yunshen, who was rejected, was not as disappointed as he imagined, and smiled: "It's okay. ”

"That...... Is it looking for you? The manager suddenly pointed to the floor-to-ceiling glass wall.

Xiao Yunshen looked sideways and found that Cheng Lingxi was actually guarding outside, looking at him with a worried face, and his lips turned white.

He hurriedly stood up and said, "It's a girl from the same project team, I'm sorry, then I'll go first." ”

"What you asked, I will definitely help you check it when I have a chance." The operations manager assured: "It's just that the company has been a little tight lately. ”

"I understand, don't embarrass you, let's go out for drinks together another day." Xiao Yunshen patted him with a smile, then walked out in three steps and two steps, and asked worriedly, "Lingxi, what's wrong with you?" ”

Cheng Lingxi felt a little dizzy, his head that usually turned quickly, but he couldn't think of any good excuse at this moment.

She was blank for two or three seconds before she stammered, "Next, I'll put the mini game on the shelves next month, is it okay?" ”

"Of course, you did it." Xiao Yun breathed a deep sigh of relief, still with a smile: "It's not right, we did it." ”

Lingxi felt that he still didn't know the truth, so he was so normal.

After a little relief in his heart, he also smiled weakly.

Xiao Yunshen wasn't so easy to fool, he hugged his hand and said, "You won't ask me this question before coming down from upstairs, right?" Did Hua Wan tell you some nonsense? ”

Lingxi hurriedly shook his head.

"Huh?" Xiao Yunshen dragged out his voice, deliberately clasped his hands and looked at her, "But she told me, she said that you have a crush on me." ”

"Only, only not! You are my colleague and my leader. Without thinking about it, Lingxi raised his voice in emphasis, then turned around and walked back in a panic.

It's lunch break, and there's not much in the hallway.

Xiao Yunshen caught up with her very easily, and suddenly took her cold hand.

This was the second time they held hands, and Lingxi's chaotic head instantly became hot with water vapor, and he blushed and couldn't speak.

"Leadership? Colleague? Xiao Yunshen snorted: "Then Alex treats you like this, won't you refuse?" ”

Such a terrible metaphor made Lingxi's girl's heart wake up immediately, she withdrew her arm in disgust, and continued to walk forward silently.

"I came to Yixun because I have an old friend who parachuted here as a vice president, this project is the foundation of his foothold in the company, I plan to help him out of many years of friendship, of course, and generous treatment, anyway, the previous design studio has been closed by me." Xiao Yunshen actually began to explain seriously: "The netizen that Hua Wan said has not been in touch for many years, and he used to be really my very good friend, but in the end, he only came to friends, and we met by playing Yixun's game, so I thought that if I work here, maybe I can have a chance to contact her and see how she is doing...... So, no big deal, don't guess. ”

"It's none of my business how I guess." Cheng Lingxi lowered his head and felt guilty.

She has never been so frank as Teacher Xiao, and when she heard that she was treated so sincerely, she also wanted to tell the other party the truth, but it was ...... I can't say it.

The reason why it is difficult to talk about it is not only because she is disabled and not worth mentioning, but also because she has just clearly discovered that there are some unplanned feelings that are slowly recovering, so that it is difficult to simply summarize and pass off those truths that are not deliberately hidden.
