002, they live more like husband and wife than husband and wife
When Yan Yue woke up, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon, and the short sleep had made her face better, and she thought that if it wasn't for Bai Zheng's phone call, she would have been able to sleep for a few more hours and make her face look better.
She swayed up from the sofa, walked to the dining table, and counted something with her fingers in between pouring water, and sighed helplessly after calculating clearly, she only went home in the morning for eight consecutive days, for office workers, the meaning of going home in the morning is to work overtime in the company and stay up all night.
As soon as she thought of the word all-nighter, she couldn't stop yawning, and the yawn was full of sleepiness, because the game developed by the team was about to start the first round of limited beta testing in seven years, and more than a dozen people in the team, including her, began to work day and night.
Her sleep quality has also plummeted in the past month, and her dreams are all about games.
The phone dinged out at an inopportune time, Bai Zheng's urging WeChat came again, she clicked on it to listen, and it was still the same dull voice: "Yan Yue, I have a business trip at four o'clock, you hurry up and come here, I think the setting of a game plot is a little inappropriate, and it needs to be discussed." ”
Bai is the senior of the same school who is four years older than her, she was targeted by this senior when she was still in her junior year, and she was looking for a job internship in her senior year, and this senior fooled her into a game team called "Chuxin" for the first time, and there are about twenty people in the team now, most of whom are alumni from the same school.
After everyone got together, they found out that they were all fooled in by Bai Zheng, some of them resigned impulsively because of their bad work, and some came when they were going to intern in their senior year, but as soon as they came in, they were reluctant to leave, and Yan Yue was the same.
Because the game developed by Bai Zheng is too attractive, and the player's degree of freedom is also very high, although similar large-scale online games emerge in the market, there are not many games played by large-scale network police, and Bai Zheng strives to make this game restore the real professional life of the police, which has human nature and a line of life and death, so that this game has excitement and at the same time, players can gradually understand the common profession of police.
This is undoubtedly a very bold idea and idea, one that appeals to both players and their ideas, and has attracted countless players as soon as the game concept and game graphics were launched three years ago.
Who doesn't want to make a hot game out of this line, so they follow Bai Zheng while they are young.
Yan Yue shook her head, trying to make herself more sober.
After yawning, he moistened his throat by drinking water, then walked to the coffee table with a glass of water in his hand, bent down and reached out to pick up the small white bottle on the second layer of the basket, and poured the last few pills in the palm of his hand.
Without thinking about it, he directly raised his hand and stuffed all the pills into his mouth, and then drank the saliva as fast as he could, rolling up and down his throat a few times, and the medicine had already slipped into his throat.
She tossed the bottle of medicine without any weight, threw it in the trash, and went to the hospital to get the medicine again.
After simply cleaning up, Yan Yue went out directly, but as soon as she arrived downstairs in the community, she happened to see Fang Xiqiao who drove in, and the car drove in front of her and didn't continue to drive, she looked around, thinking that she was blocking the road, and quickly stepped on her high heels and moved to the side.
Fang Xiqiao, who was in the driver's seat, saw Yan Yue's series of actions through the car glass, and stretched out his hand to roll down the window: "You're going to the company again?" ”
Yan Yue lit up the phone screen, glanced at the phone time, and became anxious in her heart, so she just nodded, not as usual, no matter what happened or not, she would always say hello to Fang Xiqiao warmly.
"Get in the car, I'll take you there." Fang Xiqiao also noticed that Yan Yue glanced at his mobile phone, he had seen a scientific remark that when people are in extreme anxiety, they will always subconsciously keep looking at the time.
It's just that he opened the car door and locked it for a while, but he didn't hear the sound of the car door being opened, he looked over, Yan Yue was still standing straight in place, he had to explain: "I've finished today's class, I'm not coming back to get something." ”
Yan Yue listened, looked at the time again, and no longer hesitated to sit in the co-pilot, she is not a person who twists and turns, she has lived alone for ten years since she went to college, if she is still like a little girl twisting and pinching, don't think about living that day, she has already understood that twisting and pinching can not improve a person's efficiency in life and work.
It's just that every time Fang Xiqiao drives back, she takes the left teaching materials, maybe not every time, but as long as she is there, it is almost always like this.
After the car started, the small space where the two of them were was really dull, Yan Yue could only find the topic, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth: "Your condition seems to have improved." ”
"Sorry, it's best not to talk to me while driving." Fang Xiqiao had a car accident two years ago, after which he became afraid of cars, and after coming here, he had to overcome his psychological fear of driving because of the lack of transportation, but he became extremely cautious when driving.
Yan Yue also knew that they explained everything clearly the first time they met, so as to avoid that when the other party sought medical treatment in the future, the doctor would ask about the cause and effect, and they didn't know.
In order to let Fang Xiqiao concentrate on driving, she stopped talking, and the whole person became quiet, occasionally turning her head to look at Fang Xiqiao's head, as if his familial Alzheimer's disease was only detected after that car accident, so he had to give up his promising career as a lawyer and come to this third-tier city to become a university professor.
She still remembers the exclamation when she saw Fang Xiqiao for the first time, she silently recited a word called "Fu Fan He Lang" in her heart at that time, but in fact, after looking at it so closely, this man is not impeccable, for example, there is a small black mole on his right ear.
"Alzheimer's disease is commonly known as Alzheimer's disease, which Alzheimer's disease has you ever seen?" When he stopped at an intersection and waited for a red light, Fang Xiqiao took the initiative to speak, but his eyes were staring at the little green man flashing on the side of the road in front of him without squinting, his bony hands were also somewhat casually on the black steering wheel, and his index finger tapped the steering wheel a few times rhythmically, and after he thought about it, he still explained simply, "Today is a lesson taught by PPT." ”
"But you always have to believe in medical miracles." Yan Yue tilted her head and smiled, she believed in medical miracles, "Maybe one day CCTV News will report a news that Alzheimer's disease can be completely cured." ”
Fang Xiqiao still had a serious face, and then denied Yan Yue's comfort: "Alzheimer's disease is currently irreversible, there is a lack of effective clinical treatment, drugs can only achieve a delaying effect, and many drugs will fail in the third stage, so your assumptions are beyond a certain logical range." ”
Yan Yue looked at Fang Xiqiao's deep black eyes, took a deep breath, she was thinking about how to continue these words, when the flashing red light on the side of the road rescued her, she straightened up and reminded: "Mr. Fang, the red light is red." ”
Fang Xiqiao just glanced at Yan Yue, who was suddenly sitting upright, and didn't say anything more, and started the car again, and there were no traffic lights along the way.
Because the office building rented by Bai Zheng is in the east of the city, which is the farthest away from the apartment, he finally arrived at the office building at half past three o'clock, as for why he rented here, it is natural that this office building has died, and the rent is half cheaper.
"Thank you, Mr. Fang." Yan Yue got out of the car neatly, and when she passed by the driver's window, she stopped and smiled lightly at Fang Xiqiao, thanked her, and suddenly remembered something when she turned around to leave, leaning over the window, "Remember to drive the navigation when you go back, remember to take medicine, read some books and newspapers before going to bed to exercise your memory, don't cook by yourself and don't turn on the gas!" ”
This is already her habit, as if this man has long taken the daily asking her if she is unwell as a mantra.
They are not husband and wife, just two people who meet in this city, but because of their respective illnesses, they live more like husband and wife than husband and wife, probably those divorced couples are because of the stingy care of this kind of sesame trivial matter, so the cracks in their hearts are torn apart day after day and become irreparable.
Fang Xiqiao just nodded his head in the usual way for these mother-like instructions, and did not show impatience, but added a trace of warmth between his eyebrows and eyes, and only spoke after listening to Yan Yue quietly: "Have you finished taking your medicine?" “
Yan Yue responded: "I'll go to the hospital to get it after work, what about your medicine, do you need me to help you get it by the way?" ”
Both of them were not very serious for the time being, so both of them chose conservative medication.
"No, you can go to work first."
Yan Yue originally wanted to say something, but the mobile phone suddenly rang with her ringtone, which had not been the same for a hundred years, Fang Xiqiao seemed to be attracted at once, and looked at the mobile phone that made a sound from the car window, and the next moment he frowned, because Yan Yue had already turned around and walked into the office building quickly after nodding to him to apologize.
After seeing the figure disappear, Fang Xiqiao picked up his mobile phone and looked at the song title recognized by listening to the song on the screen, which was "White Birch Forest" released by Pu Shu in 1999.
With a slight tap of his slender fingers on the mobile phone screen, Pu Shu's voice full of pictures slowly flowed out, telling about eternal love.
Through the window, I saw the man in the driver's seat leaning back, sighing, closing his heavy eyes, and all the emotions that had been suppressed no longer needed to be hidden.
