“······ This project has worked hard, Xiao Zhou, run the test again tomorrow, and give feedback, it shouldn't be a big problem. ”

The middle-aged uncle in a suit and leather shoes standing in front of Zhou Yao is his department manager - Lu Jiangping, and people in the department usually call him Mr. Lu.

"Okay····· Thank you, Mr. Lu. Zhou Yao forcibly endured the upheaving yawn and said to him respectfully.

"It's just the two of us, called seniors. Lu Jiangping smiled, took a sip of tea from the teacup, and continued: "You kid, you haven't made fast progress in the past two years after graduation, but in terms of rules, you are self-taught." ”

"Hi... Yes yes yes seniors are good····· It's usually called habitual, haven't you forgotten this stubble? Under Lu Jiangping's joke, Zhou Yao was obviously a lot more relaxed than usual, smiled apologetically at him, and said.

Lu Jiangping and Zhou Yao are both students who graduated from Beidu Electric University, and they are both students of the Department of Computer Science, plus Lu Jiangping usually takes good care of Zhou Yao, and he is seven or eight years older than Zhou Yao.

"Anyway, Xiao Zhou, it's been hard in the past two days, go back and get a good night's sleep, and I'll help you take it tomorrow morning. Lu Jiangping put down the cup and patted Zhou Yao's shoulder, "No way, the general environment is like this, understand." ”

"Whereever, that's what I'm doing······ Nalu seniors···· Thank you. Zhou Yao said sincerely.

Lu Jiangping waved his hand, "Little things... By the way, don't go yet, there's something wrong with Chengxue's Judian algorithm, you go and help her······ She's alone, I'm afraid she won't be able to do it tonight, how about it, huh?"

"Of course... Absolutely. Zhou Yao scratched his head and said with a sigh.

"Haha... You kid," Lu Jiangping smiled roughly: "You come to me····· It's been more than two years.,Hi,Chengxue has been here for more than 9 months this year.,Newcomer···· In the same way, the knowledge of school is not alive after all. ”

"Yes·····" Zhou Yao also smiled apologetically.

"You, you have to study more and keep up. Lu Jiangping walked to the hanger and put on his coat, "Don't copy and paste like Xiao Li Xiaoxu every day, maybe you will be cut off one day." Lu Jiangping picked up the briefcase and finally said: "You are still young, you haven't started a family, learn more, have your own framework structure, and it is easy to go up······ Okay····· It's time for me to go, Ziyue Elementary School····· I'm still working overtime every day and I don't have time to accompany her······ Walked ····· first. ”

"Ah····· Ah, well, seniors be careful on the road. Zhou Yao said.

It's ten o'clock.

It's going to stay up late at night again, Zhou Yao thought.

·······

Backbite.

The sound of the access control.

When Zhou Yao walked out of the company, it was already 11:20 p.m.

It's so cool.

It's raining.

The rain was falling in the cold night of late autumn, and Zhou Yao looked up to see that the night sky was as black as ever.

Fortunately, my home is not far away, and I always have an umbrella in my bag.

Do you want to think about buying a car.

Forget it, Zhou Yao still knows the congestion level in Jiangcheng.

In the morning rush hour, walking is much faster than driving.

Now I'm not sleepy.

Every time he worked overtime at this point in time, Zhou Yao began to get up inexplicably - could it be that he had developed some strange biological clock.

It doesn't matter, as long as you stick to the bed when you go back, you can fall asleep immediately - Zhou Yao is still very confident in his sleep quality.

Every day is so fulfilling······ ?

Zhou Yao couldn't give a correct answer to this.

In terms of material conditions, maybe I made the right choice at the beginning - working in the largest Internet company at the moment, with a salary several times that of my peers, and the help of my seniors in my former school, my parents' health is still healthy, and my knowledge reserve is constantly expanding.

Everything is going for the better.

It's just that.

Just what.

Zhou Yao couldn't say it.

Are you unwilling?

I can't say.

Is this the life he really wants, Zhou Yao just vaguely thought about such a question.

Pushing the boat forward with the current, endlessly.

In fact, no matter what career you choose, you will have the same feelings.

Look at your classmates who are studying biochemical ring materials, in fact, they may be some of the lucky ones in this era·······

But I always feel like I'm missing some feelings.

······

I was really tired, Zhou Yao smiled self-deprecatingly, shook his head, and was already thinking nonsense.

It's almost home.

Walking through the alley in front, you will arrive at the neighborhood where you live.

······

"Young man, are you willing to be a brave man?"

??? auditory hallucinations?

“······ Ahem, boy, are you willing to be a brave man?"

Not auditory hallucinations.

Zhou Yao raised his eyes, which had been staring at the road, and looked ahead.

A girl who looked like she was twelve or thirteen years old.

Her long black hair shimmered in the night, her hair fluttered in the breeze, and her delicate pale face and slender body reflected each other, with an unusually harmonious taste.

What impressed Zhou Yao the most was the girl's blue eyes as clear as autumn water - as clear as a pool of water in late autumn.

Half-breeds... ?.

And ····· Zhou Yao's gaze swept down - he was only wearing a simple coat similar to an ancient costume, and on his feet... No shoes... ？。

"Well, wait, I'll try again...... Ahem," the girl said solemnly again, "I, ask, you, young man, are you willing to be a brave man?"

······

Secondary 2 disease··· ？

He is still very sick.

No matter what, let's change the local point of argument.

I guess I had a quarrel with my parents.

After thinking for a while, Zhou Yao came up with such an answer.

"Umbrellas, and towels. Zhou Yao handed the things over.

"Huh?" the girl in front of her was a little confused.

"It's autumn, don't catch a cold. Zhou Yao closed the zipper of his briefcase, "Go back after wiping your head, don't let your parents worry." ”

Today's children are really individual.

I'm tired too, so there's only so much I can do.

"Hmm····· It's weird... Obviously, this setting is very popular in the literature of mortals······" The girl took out a small notebook and pen from her sleeve, and thoughtfully recorded something, "Plan three, failure." ”

"If it's okay, I'll go first. Zhou Yao said, bypassed the girl, and continued to walk forward.

Then she turned around and said to Zhou Yao's back, "Wait,"

Zhou Yao turned his head.

The girl with pure black long hair pointed at Zhou Yao with her fingertips, cleared her throat, and said, "Ahem, then I'll formally introduce myself first." ”

"I am a Taixu immortal, I am looking for apprentices, why not worship quickly!"

“·····” Zhou Yao was a little stunned.

“······· Not very smart... Yazi?" the girl said, tilting her head.

Who do you say.

Zhou Yao didn't react a little.

······

It's not a secondary disease.

Yes two.

Zhou Yao quickly came to a conclusion.

"This time it's true. The girl who claimed to be a Taixu Immortal said, "I swear as an immortal, this is not a joke. ”

The dark blue eyes shone with earnestness.

······

That's not the problem.

Trouble.

This guy.

It's really not very smart.

“····· Mmmm, yes, yes, little friend, where is your home, my brother will send you home. Zhou Yao endured his unhappiness and exhaustion and said.

Letting such a guy go outside, his conscience will make him sleep badly.

"Still don't believe me?" the girl stared at Zhou Yao's face, and said after a moment, "I can read it by heart." ”

"Yes, yes, let's go. Zhou Yao smiled lightly, "Brother knows, the child is a very powerful immortal, very brave····· Come, give the towel to my brother. ”

"Huh?" the girl subconsciously handed over the towel in her hand, "Actually, I'm older, and my appearance is because of what are you doing!!?

Certainly doing what a gentleman does.

Just kidding.

“····· Dry your hair... Children, you should still know the fact that you will catch a cold if you catch a cold·····" Zhou Yao folded the wet side of the towel, revealing the dry side, "Whew, come, can you wipe the hair on the back yourself, like my brother just wiped it for you······ Is that okay? ·····"

Even through the towel, he could still feel the softness of his hair - Zhou Yao recalled the touch on his hand just now.

“······”

The girl still looked at Zhou Yao suspiciously.

Still can't understand it.

“······ It's not like a bad guy. ”

The girl suddenly frowned as if she had figured out something, wrapped one arm around her chest, stretched out her thumb and forefinger with the other, closed her eyes, and gently rubbed her eyebrows.

“······· It's really not a very smart Yazi. ”

She commented softly after a long silence.

Well?

Zhou Yao still couldn't react.

The gentle smile on his face became more and more reluctant.

Although standing opposite was a child who looked to be more than a decade younger than himself, Zhou Yao also felt that he was already angry.

Without this play, I would have gone home and taken a hot shower to sleep.

Because of whom.

"Good boy," Zhou Yao said in a steady and gentle voice as much as possible: "Where is your home, my brother will take you back to ······"

"Got it·····" The girl interrupted Zhou Yao's inquiry with a self-talking chatter, and just when Zhou Yao thought she could finally understand her words, she said the next sentence that was even more confusing-

“····· Anyway, if you don't show your real skills, you won't believe what I'm saying·······"

·······

What a thing.

It's too middle two, hahaha.

Are children so individualistic now?

"Hahaha····· Okay, well, on the way back, my brother will look at your watch————"

———— poof.

The words came to an abrupt end.

A long sword that shimmered with cold light was held straight by the girl, pointing at the tip of Zhou Yao's nose.

The peculiar smell of metal seeps out little by little.

With the smell of sharp danger.

······· Ha···· ？

What is it?

Knives... No, it's a long sword.

Where did it come from?

Also, isn't this a controlled knife?

Is it sharp?

Zhou Yao subconsciously took a step back.

After thinking about it for 0.01 seconds, Zhou Yao finally made a more accurate judgment on the form in front of him-

It's easy to prove –

This guy.

Not only is Yazi, who is not very smart-

Or a dangerous good.
