Chen Zhiyuan, who hung up the phone, stood barefoot in front of the window and looked at the railing, pretending to be deep, and in order to have a little tonality, he poured himself another glass of red wine. It's just that over the years, he seems to have gained weight even his fingers and toes, the toes on the ground are like the fruit carrots sold at high prices in the supermarket, and the hand holding the goblet is like a valuable bear paw, which seems to crush the wine glass with a little force.

The black T-shirt and shorts, the sturdy calves are exposed, and the bulging oil wraps the muscles, making it look smooth and curved. However, after only four or five years, he can no longer pretend to be a beautiful young man, even if he stands in front of the window and poses a forty-five degree sad posture, it only makes people feel pitiful and funny.

Chen Zhiyuan was sad alone for a while, and when it got dark, he saw the shadow he cast on the glass, and couldn't help but let out an "oops", shook his head, and collapsed back on the sofa.

Sometimes he blames Zhu Rui for his fattening, thinking that he is a typical stress fat, which is caused by his nonsense after Zhu Rui is forced to lose interest in life. During this time, Zhu Rui returned to City A, and he often felt very relaxed, and many of his past hobbies could be picked up without scruples. That doesn't seem to have changed much, though.

First, because the hormone changes after gaining weight also made him more lazy, he could sit and never stand, he could lie down and never sit, and playing games in every corner of the house became the best choice.

Second, because after Zhu Rui left, his parents also returned to his hometown in the Northeast, and his life alone will never be fired, and all three meals will be solved by takeout. The three meals here refer to: lunch, dinner and supper. Junk food is spread all over the coffee table and dining table, but after a month or two, Chen Zhiyuan did not lose weight because of the departure of the stressor, but at least gained five pounds.

The reunion with Liu Wen happened recently.

Because Zhu Rui proposed the idea of moving to Nanjing, he had to search for job openings in the market again. However, the original headhunting network is basically in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and Rooster Head area, and if you want to go back to Nanjing, you have to be active in the Yangtze River Delta, and the headhunters are more reliable.

After communicating with his old colleague, someone else sent him a: Echo Baby's WeChat business card, and asked him to add it to chat. After adding it, the two introduced themselves to each other. The opposite side suddenly sent a video invitation directly, Chen Zhiyuan felt abrupt, and hung up without answering. Then I saw a message pop up:

"Brother, I'm Liu Wen!"

Chen Zhiyuan was surprised, his little heart was pounding, his first reaction was to run to the mirror in the bathroom to tidy up his hair, and was defeated by his round face, ashamed of himself, and thought: "Time has passed, things are not people!" ”

Liu Wen's "brother" obviously called him back to the past. The little girl who had just graduated with no taboos also followed him all day long, shouting "brother" and "brother".

It is said that Chen Zhiyuan, who has been chased backwards since he was a child, should have no waves in ancient water. Chen Zhiyuan has never been interested in the object of chasing, and he finally married Zhu Rui, the only factory flower he actively pursued. But when Liu Wen appeared, Chen Zhiyuan had not felt noticed for many years because of his marriage, under the simple folk customs of City A and the strict discipline of the goddess's wife. Liu Wen's appearance obviously made a deep impression on him.

With basic morality, he said to Liu Wen sharply: "I have a family, you really don't have to stare at me." The impact is bad! ”

Liu Wen flashed her two watery eyes and said softly, "I didn't affect you." I just want to see you and talk to you. ”

At that time, Chen Zhiyuan obviously withstood the pressure of instinct, when the east wind blew into the ears of Zhu Rui, who had already been transferred to other departments, he handed over the clean WeChat, QQ, and text messages, pointed to Liu Wen's message on the work account, and said to Zhu Rui: "You check, except for the work relationship, I have no personal relationship with her at all."

But now Chen Zhiyuan suddenly discovered that the temptation at that time was just an unembered seed, which seemed to be extinguished, and it tickled him with a light blow.

But he was extremely disappointed in his current self, it turned out that not only women would be afraid of disillusionment, but also those former beautiful boys were even more afraid.

The video was interrupted and could not be answered, he lied that he was in a meeting, so he chatted with Liu Wen without a match.

Liu Wen saw the fact that Chen Zhiyuan was fat from the resume sent by Chen Zhiyuan, and said: "Brother, you are fat now, but handsome is good, he used to be cold, but now he is a warm man."

Chen Zhiyuan replied with a few laughing expressions, and said in his heart: That's it.

Hesitating, difficult, unbearable, Chen Zhiyuan didn't delete Echo Baby's WeChat account in the end, his heart was trying to keep this aphrodisiac, but his brain was saying: "Be generous, it's okay to be fine, how bad it is to suddenly delete others!" ”

He sighed, opened the takeaway software and ordered himself a Korean fried chicken with beer and a barbecue rice, thinking about a healthy match, and chose another one to add a vegetable salad with vinaigrette. Since he had plans to change jobs, the frequency of active overtime has also decreased, unless he can't escape, otherwise he will rush everywhere as soon as he arrives at six o'clock. But he would tell Zhu Rui that he would work overtime until nine o'clock, the same as before. I don't know when he got used to using lies to avoid Zhu Rui's preaching. Like a child playing tricks with his parents, he plays with all kinds of tricks.

In between waiting for the takeout, he had already turned on the computer and was ready to log in to the account. SUDDENLY, I REMEMBERED SOMETHING, GOT UP, GOT MY IPAD, OPENED AN ONLINE ENGLISH LEARNING SOFTWARE, AND PLAYED A VIDEO. PUT THE IPAD ASIDE, PUT ON THE HEADSET ON THE COMPUTER, LOG IN TO THE ONLINE GAME ACCOUNT AND START PLAYING.

Chen Zhiyuan has been working on the platform of the joint venture company all these years, but his weak English has limited his development. This online English learning course was reported by Zhu Rui to him, and the account is shared by two people, except for the one-on-one communication class Zhu Rui does not participate, and the rest of the content Zhu Rui will also log in to learn to consolidate.

To consolidate - is Zhu Rui's original words, but Chen Zhiyuan always scoffs, he thought: Isn't it good to be direct? Do you dare to supervise me?

This video lesson is a learning task just released today, and it was reminded on Chen Zhiyuan's mobile phone at noon. He let it run out randomly, and was just about to turn it off when a set of test questions popped up. CHEN ZHIYUAN PUSHED THE IPAD AWAY IN ANNOYANCE AND COMPLETELY ENTERED THE WORLD OF THE GAME.

After fighting for more than half an hour, Chen Zhiyuan, who had been defeated repeatedly, had red eyes and planned to be defeated repeatedly, when Zhu Rui's call came.

Chen Zhiyuan hurriedly turned off the sound of the computer, picked up the phone and said, "Hey, wife~~" is so well-behaved.

"Why did you get a zero score, there are test questions behind the study task, what you have to do, you have to go back to the class." Zhu Rui said on the other end of the phone.

Chen Zhiyuan asked confusedly, "What?"

"I said English online class," Zhu Rui paused and said, "Didn't you watch it at all?"

"Oh oh, it's not ......" Chen Zhiyuan took back the Ipad that had been pushed far away, looked at the page prompt, and said: "No, I was in a hurry, I didn't care about doing it, I thought I could do it later." ”

"Hurry up and make up for it!" Zhu Rui confessed.

"How's the kids?"

"When you're reading, don't talk to them, read attentively. Have you seen the opportunity in Nanjing? ”

"I said hello to a few headhunters I know, and I will recommend them to me when I have a chance." When talking about headhunting, Chen Zhiyuan couldn't help but feel empty.

"Well, I received an interview offer, I'll take a look at it for you later." Zhu Rui replied, and asked again, "Have you eaten it?" ”

"Nope." Chen Zhiyuan subconsciously replied.

"Not yet? It's past nine o'clock, how do you eat? ”

"I'll do it, I'll make a noodle and an egg." Chen Zhiyuan slapped his mouth as he spoke, and scolded: Why do you love to tell the truth so much, if you are looking for something, you will have to make noodles later! But he knew that Zhu Rui would be happy when he said this.

Sure enough, Zhu Rui approved and said, "Don't eat junk food, take a picture of me later." ”

Chen Zhiyuan should go down.

Half an hour later, he was nibbling on fried chicken and drinking beer on the couch, and in his phone was a sent photo — a bowl of noodles in clear soup with sporadic albumines...... In order to increase the authenticity, he added deceitfully: "The clear soup noodles are good. ”

Zhu Rui gave him a thumbs-up emoji back.
