It was almost one o'clock in the afternoon, and Mo Nian returned home.

Century Group is in the city center, her home is far away, and if you want to go there, you have to take a bus first, then transfer to the subway, and after more than an hour's journey, you can get there.

Mo Nian changed into slippers, put the bag on the sofa, and took out the mobile phone inside alone and put it on the edge of the dining table.

She didn't have time to change her clothes, so she went to take out a bento box she bought last night from the kitchen refrigerator, put it in the microwave, and timed it for three minutes.

"Ding."

Three minutes later, the microwave oven beep sounds, and the bento is hot.

Mo Nian took it out of the microwave oven, unpacked it, and placed the spoon and chopsticks aside, looking like he was about to start a meal.

Then, she picked up her phone on the dining table and took a picture of the bento.

Exit the camera function, and then click on WeChat, and what catches your eye is the top chat box with the note "brother".

Not surprisingly, the number "19" is displayed in the upper left corner of the chat box, which is full of messages from my brother.

Click on the chat box and read the information from top to bottom -

Time, 10:30.

Brother: "It's almost noon, and when I get back from cram school, remember to buy a bento box on the way." ”

Time, 11:20.

Brother: "Homecoming?" You haven't forgotten to buy a bento, have you? If you forget, just order takeout, don't go out, it's too hot at noon, and your body can't stand it. ”

Time, 11:40.

Brother: "Niannian, why don't you reply to my brother's message?" ”

Time, 11:45

Brother: "Niannian, is something wrong?" Or is the cram school procrastinating, and now it's still on the road, and I haven't seen the news? My brother is worried about you, so he replied after seeing the message. ”

……

Time, just now.

Brother: "In ten minutes, my brother will call you." ”

After reading the message, Mo Nian sent the picture of the bento he had just taken, and then typed and sent a message: "I went to the piano cram school this morning, and I didn't understand some questions, so I stayed and asked the teacher, and practiced for a while, and I came back late before I saw the message." ”

"Buzz."

In the next second, the phone vibrate, and my brother replied with a message in seconds: "At home now?" Clockwork voice. ”

"It's me, I'm fine, don't worry."

Mo Nian pressed the voice to send, and then typed and sent a message: "It's work time, brother, go to work quickly, and talk when you get off work in the evening." ”

It seemed that he heard the voice and confirmed that it was Mo Nian, not someone else, and his brother was also relieved, and he didn't ask and send messages repeatedly as before, but just replied: "Okay." ”

Then, there was no news, probably to get busy with business.

Mo Nian looked at the dialog box and muttered, "Excuse me...... It's a cover-up. ”

As she spoke, she put her mobile phone aside, picked up a spoon in her left hand and chopsticks in her right hand, just about to eat-

"Buzz—"

The ringtone of the mobile phone vibrated with it, interrupting Mo Nian's movements, she paused slightly, and her eyes swept to the lit up mobile phone screen, which showed the caller: Xia Linxi.

After thinking about it, Mo Nian put down the spoon and chopsticks, picked up the mobile phone and connected: "Hey? ”

"You're going to work?!"

As soon as Mo Nian's words fell, a surprised voice sounded on his mobile phone.

Maybe it was because he was too shocked, on the phone side, Xia Linxi's volume almost pierced Mo Nian's eardrum through the phone, "You're not kidding, are you?!" ”

Mo Nian took the phone away before replying, "Hmm." ”

After a pause, Mo Nian said again: "When I submitted my resume the day before yesterday, I sent you a message. ”

"I went on a business trip to the mountains half a month ago, and I didn't bring a personal mobile phone! Didn't you know? ”

Xia Linxi found out that she was off topic, and hurriedly said: "This is not the point!" The point is that you're going to work! Why? Why did you suddenly think of going to work? Did your brother agree that you would go to work? ”

"At the beginning of this year, I found that my brother seemed to be overworked and had been secretly taking medicine, and if this continues, he may follow his mother's old path."

Mo Nian said in a calm tone: "That's why I want to go to work and help my brother relieve a little burden." ”

is obviously a word of concern, but her tone is so flat that it is difficult to think in that direction, as if an actor with extremely poor line skills makes people want to throw her banana peel when he opens his mouth.

"So did your brother agree?" Xia Linxi was keenly aware that Mo Nian had ignored this problem.

“…… He didn't know. Mo Nian replied.

"You-"

Xia Linxi was speechless for a while, but she couldn't blame Mo Nian, she had known Mo Nian for eleven years, she even knew Mo Nian better than Mo Nian's brother Mo Chen, and she knew that once this friend made a certain decision, he would not easily change his character.

"How did you fool your brother?"

Since there was no way to change Mo Nian's decision, Xia Linxi had no choice but to dig a pit with Mo Nian and bury Mo Chen, "There is no loophole in the reason used, right?" ”

"Shouldn't be, after my brother was promoted, he went on a business trip for at least three months at a time, and he couldn't stay home for half a month, during his business trip, it was easier to hide, I told the teacher of the cram school that I would transfer the time of class during the day to the weekend evening, let her cooperate, and tell my brother that I was in class in the morning."

Mo Nian said: "As for my brother's return home, the company where I submitted my resume, in the case of negotiation with others, I can freely take a vacation, if I don't take a break for three months, I can save up nearly half a month's vacation, and when my brother comes back, I will use up the vacation I have saved, and I will not be discovered." ”

After listening to this, Xia Linxi didn't find any loopholes, so he said: "When you need my cooperation, just speak." ”

"Probably not."

Mo Nian said: "Your work is already busy enough, and you don't have normal vacations as a star assistant, and if you have to cooperate with me, you are too tired." ”

On the other side of the phone, Mo Nian suddenly heard Xia Linxi laugh: "Nian Nian, I have made progress, I still care about people." ”

When this is said to normal people, most of the time it is ironic.

But if you put it on Mo Nian, it is an out-and-out compliment.

Fourteen years ago, because of an accident, after Mo Nian underwent surgery, he lost the emotional fluctuations of normal people, and it was difficult to perceive the emotions of others, so he could only reluctantly judge the mood of the other party by learning and using the method of recognizing the changes in the faces of others.

In this case, it is difficult for Mo Nian to be "considerate" of other people's pain, let alone care about others because of their hardship.

"Well, I've been watching TV dramas lately."

Mo Nian seemed to sense Xia Linxi's concern about herself, and she said, "Now, few people have noticed that I am abnormal. ”

On the other side of the mobile phone, Xia Linxi heard the words and suddenly fell silent.

After a while, Xia Linxi spoke, and her voice was softer than before: "Niannian, you are not abnormal, you are just a little different from most people, this is nothing, just like some people have a strong learning ability, they are the first from childhood to adulthood, and some people have a very weak learning ability, and they are downstream ...... from childhood to adulthood."

Xia Linxi said softly: "These two kinds of people are a minority, the first is below, and the middle part above the downstream is the majority, you are just different from the majority and belong to the minority." ”

When Mo Nian heard this, her expression did not change, and she responded in a flat tone as usual: "Hmm." ”

Xia Linxi sighed lightly, and then said in a serious tone: "I can't object to your reason for going to work, as a friend, I can only support you to go to work, but there is one thing, Niannian, the only thing you have to remember——"

"No matter how good the relationship with your colleagues in the company is, don't let the other party find out your true appearance, three years ago, why didn't your brother let you continue to work, don't forget."

When he said this, Xia Linxi's tone was a little bit of gnashing of teeth, as if he had thought of something unpleasant.
