Chapter 1 Goodbye, Uncle

Because of working overtime, Li Qing has not had any recreational activities outside of work for a long time. He is thirty-two years old this year and has been single for three years. He occasionally wanted to fall in love, but when he thought about it carefully, he felt that it was not necessary.

That night after overtime work, he felt that he was too bored. On impulse, I asked someone I met on a dating app to go see a movie. It's not necessarily true that they know each other. He downloaded the dating app out of curiosity, randomly selected someone from the same city and added him as a friend. After adding him, he only sent emoticons to greet each other and never chatted again.

Surprisingly, the other party actually agreed.

On the day of the appointment, Li Qing didn't pay much attention to dressing up. If he dressed up too delicately, it would appear that he had ulterior motives. When they met for the first time, he didn't even know who the other party was, so it was better to be casual. So he only wore a T-shirt and sweatpants, didn't have his hair styled, wore glasses, and went out with his phone, wallet, and keys.

He bought the ticket on his own initiative and waited at the agreed cinema.

Five minutes before the movie started, no one had come yet. Li Qing smoked in the smoking area out of boredom, thinking that if the other party failed to make the appointment, he would have the final say. Near the beginning, a very conspicuous person rushed towards him.

It's really conspicuous, firstly, he runs very fast, like a track and field athlete sprinting 100 meters, and secondly, he is dressed very conspicuously.

He has bright golden hair, like a golden lion, a large T-shirt, large overalls, heavy hiking boots, several rings on his ears, and tattoos on his arms. Panting, he ran to Li Qing and fiddled with his hair, sweat almost hitting Li Qing's face.

Yes, sorry! He said that he had dyed his hair for too long!

Li Qing said: Oh, go in.

He glanced at Li Qing and said: Wow, I didn't expect you to be quite old! I thought you were about the same as me!

Li Qing:

Can you speak?

But he is indeed quite young. His face is full of collagen. I wonder if he is twenty years old.

Li Qing smiled: He is not very old.

When they entered the venue, the movie had already started. It was dark. The young man with golden hair walked in front, avoiding the knees of the people who had already sat down. He walked up and down, stepping on Li Qing's sneakers with the heels of his boots. It hurt so much that he wanted to curse, but he couldn't open his mouth to influence others.

The whole movie is very boring.

Li Qing's attention was always on his toes that were throbbing in pain. The young golden-haired boy next door seemed to be asleep, and the laughter of other viewers in the screening room did not wake him up.

When the movie ended, the young golden retriever was bleary-eyed and his cheeks were red, as if he had fallen asleep.

Li Qing said politely: The movie seems to be okay.

The young man yawned and said, "Really? It's so ugly that I feel sleepy."

Other spectators nearby laughed happily:

When he came out of the cinema, Li Qing wanted to end this unlucky and unexpected date quickly. The young man stood on the side of the road, shaking out the cigarette from the cigarette case. When the cigarette didn't come out, Li Qing handed him his own cigarette. The young man was surprised and said: Wow, brother, you smoke.

Li Qing was speechless: Is it strange?

The young man said: I thought you elderly people were very good at keeping in good health. You went to bed early and got up early, soaked in wolfberry, and did not smoke or drink.

Li Qing said expressionlessly: Then call me uncle.

The young man didn't seem to hear the ridicule inside, and followed the good advice: uncle.

It felt really fucked to be called uncle by a handsome young man. Li Qing wanted to curse, but he still controlled it with the restraint of an adult. He smiled and planned to leave. At this time, there was an old lady begging on the roadside, playing the erhu very emotionally.

The young man said: Uncle, I don’t have any cash, please lend me a few dollars.

Li Qing rummaged through every pocket, opened his wallet, took out a crumpled five yuan and gave it to him. He squatted down carefully and put it into the old lady's begging bag. Li Qing stood not far away smoking a cigarette and watched the whole process, and said: I have something to do, so I will leave first.

The young man waved to him: Bye, uncle.

Li Qing thought, damn it.

On Monday, Li Qing went to work.

Their department is so busy that probably only Octopus can do the job. The superiors finally relented and planned to grant them an intern spot. As the department leader, Li Qing is ready to select people. Several interns stood side by side, like roast geese hanging in the window ready to be selected.

At a glance, Li Qing saw the young golden-haired intern who was distracted at the edge.

But today, his hair is black, and he has taken off the earrings on his ears. He is wearing a shirt that doesn't fit well, and he looks positive.

When he saw Li Qing, he was so excited that he shouted: Uncle!

Li Qing pretended not to see it.

In the end, Li Qing chose him. Without him, he looked at his resume and he was the most suitable. This guy looked unreliable, but his academic performance was actually pretty good. The young man's name is Li Zhen, and his name does not match his temperament at all.

During the lunch break, Li Qing went to the cafe downstairs to drink coffee and eat salad. After filling his stomach, he sat outside in the garden and smoked. Li Zhen saw him from a distance, rushed over, sat opposite him, raised his hand and took off the black wig on his head, and the blond hair inside was soft.

it's too hot! Li Zhen said, uncle, your hairstyle looks great today.

Li Qing thought, help, stay away from me.

Li Zhen said: I didn't even call you just now. I kept pretending that I didn't know you, for fear that others would think you were hiding your rules from me.

Li Qing rolled his eyes inwardly, and thought again: Why does this person have such a long mouth, and how come he spits out everything.

Li Zhen took something out of his trouser pocket and handed it to Li Qing. Li Qing took a closer look and saw in his palm a five-dollar bill that was as wrinkled as a pickle.

I give it back to you. I don’t know when we will meet again, so I keep it with me. Li Zhen said.

No need, Li Qing said, I’ll treat you to whatever you want to drink.

Li Zhen said with a smile: I want to drink mocha! Add caramel!

Li Qing thought, if I say I want to invite you, just agree! I am the leader of your department, pig!

Li Zhen took out his mobile phone and suddenly said: Hey, do you know why I went out to watch a movie with you that day?

Li Qing immediately looked around, coughed twice to cover up, and said: Keep your voice down, there are many colleagues nearby.

Li Zhen said to himself: Look at your profile picture, I'm on it!

Li Qing didn't understand it at first and felt baffled. It wasn't until Li Zhen clicked on his avatar on the dating app and zoomed in that he saw the clues. The profile picture is a photo of him wearing a hat, taken at a roadside coffee shop. The brim of his hat was pulled down low, not showing his face. Behind him, across the road, there was a very blurry person walking his dog.

Li Zhen said: Uncle, look! this is me! I'm walking my dog! My dog's name is Sunday, he is super cute.

Li Qing:

Like every dog owner, Li Zhen’s mobile photo album is full of photos and videos of dogs. Li Qing didn't hate dogs, and he couldn't refuse the owner who showed off the puppy so enthusiastically. He carefully looked at many photos and several videos. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that this dog was a thief, and his eyes were full of scheming. .

Keke Li Qing hinted, it’s almost time for lunch break, you

You can shut up.

As if Li Zhen didn't hear anything, he continued to scroll through the photos. Suddenly, a photo came across. The person on it seemed to be himself. He had no clothes on and was holding a mallet in his hand. He was dirty and covered in mud. , his hair is very short, almost shaved to his scalp, and he is looking at the camera with a silly smile.

Li Qing glanced at it and looked away politely, pretending not to see it.

Li Zhen hurriedly rowed away without saying a word. Li Qing looked up and saw Li Zhen looking at him, with questions written all over his eyes. As a mature adult who cares about the situation, Li Qing is very knowledgeable.

You majored in sculpture, right? Li Qing said, I saw it on my resume.

Li Zhen smiled, lying on the table, resting his chin on his forearm, and said: Yes.

From this angle, Li Qing could see his long eyelashes and straight nose through his messy golden hair. But what Li Qing thought more about was the wheat-colored skin, moderate muscles, baggy pants, and sloppy dots in the photo he just saw, creating an atmosphere like a melodrama.

It perfectly fits the stereotype of a handsome art student in the sculpture department for a dirty-minded layman like him.

Li Qing took a sip of iced Americano, lowered his eyes and said: Well, it's pretty awesome.

This kid is seducing him, he thought, absolutely.

Chapter 2 Come in and eat

Although Li Qing has lived to be thirty-two years old, there are still many things he has not seen before, such as seducing him by a handsome young man he has only met once. Although she still felt a little proud in her heart, Li Qing was still able to control herself and did not get dizzy because of the slightest hint of kindness.

To his surprise, Li Zhen was very likable.

In order to make her image more reliable, Li Zhen covered her flamboyant blond hair with a black wig. It's summer now. Although the air conditioning in the office is very strong, he is still hot and sweating. During the afternoon tea break, sister Kitty, who was most afraid of the cold in the office and protested against the temperature of the air conditioner every day, took the initiative to ask him: Is it so hot? Oops, on such a hot day, the central air conditioner doesn't cool down at all. How can this be done?

Li Zhen glanced at Kitty's shawl tightly wrapped around her body, filled her with a cup of hot water, and said with a smile: Not hot, not hot.

Sister Rita who was passing by leaned on the fender of the work station and asked him: Hey brother, you study sculpture.

Li Zhen handed her a candy that was brought back from the tea break table and said: Yes, sister.

Rita, who was controlling sugar, would be furious because the coffee she ordered was accidentally spiked with sugar. She ate the sugar, chewed it crispy, and said with a smile: Oh, it's really awesome.

Ke Ling from the next door department was passing by and was attracted by these movements. He stopped to take a look and said sourly: It's so lively.

Kitty asked: How are your interns?

Ke Ling rolled his eyes and said, "You are clumsy. I bought a coffee downstairs and it was all overturned when I came back. Don't go out because the corridor is a mess."

Li Zhen volunteered: I will help clean!

As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed out. Ke Ling looked at his back and said: So positive.

Li Qing sat at the workstation and coughed loudly twice. Rita wiped her neck and glared at them. Everyone fell silent and started working again. Li Qing was reviewing a manuscript. His eyes hurt from looking at the computer. He stood up, stretched and walked out.

In the corridor from a distance, Li Zhen was rolling up his sleeves and mopping the floor of the panicked intern. Li Qing went to the bathroom. When washing his hands, he carefully checked his hair style today. His hair was a bit limp. In order to look more energetic at work, he would use hairspray to pick it up, and then change his glasses into contact lenses. This way he took care of it. After that, his slightly drooped eyebrows looked more energetic.

Does it look good?

he thought.

Li Qing reached out and twirled some of his unruly bangs and looked around. At this moment, the toilet door was pushed open. As if he had done something wrong, Li Qing quickly put down his hands and turned on the faucet to wash his hands. It has been washed just now. Li Zhen came in with a mop. He was overjoyed, beaming with joy, and beaming with joy.

Hi, Li Zhen whispered, what a coincidence.

What a coincidence, everyone in the department goes to this bathroom.

Li Qing asked a lot: Has it been cleaned?

Li Zhen suddenly said: Wait.

What's wrong?

An eyelash fell out of your face. Li Zhen said, don't move, I will help you get it.

Li Qing was about to turn around and look in the mirror, but Li Zhen had already taken a step forward, so he had to step back and press his lower back against the edge of the sink.

Li Zhen said to himself: My hands are dirty

Li Qing closed his eyes subconsciously, because Li Zhen, who was a head taller than him, leaned over and brought his face closer. Immediately afterwards, he felt a burst of heat blowing across his cheeks, with a little sweetness. It was the taste of Matcha Coluli from Li Qing's favorite dessert shop. He always ordered it every time he had a tea break. .

alright. Li Zhen said.

Li Qing opened his eyes, and Li Zhen was still standing there, grabbing the mop pole and smiling harmlessly. Li Qing took a deep breath, turned around and washed his hands for the third time, and went out without saying a word.

The department is planning an exhibition for the summer solstice, and everyone is very busy. There was nothing serious to do on the first day the intern came. Li Zhen worked like crazy all day long. Li Qing occasionally looked up at him during work breaks and saw that besides doing odd jobs, he was still sitting at his workstation. What to do.

Li Qing never left his workstation until he got off work.

As the only person in the whole department who dared to talk back to Li Qing, Rita stared at the second hand and hit twelve. She was the first to stand up and said: It's time to get off work. See you all tomorrow!

Everyone packed their things, Li Qing put eye drops into his dry eyes, and Li Zhen moved closer to him little by little. Li Qing was wary of him and didn't even look at him. Li Zhen folded the crumpled five yuan that Li Qing had confiscated, placed it next to Li Qing's mouse, and smiled flatteringly at him.

Li Zhen asked in a low voice: Can I go to work without wearing a wig?

Ke Ling from the next department has red hair.

Li Qing smiled and said: No.

They are a self-media company with a young boss. The company atmosphere is very relaxed. No clothes or hair that are too outrageous will be banned. In theory, you can bring pets to work, but Li Qing just wants to tease him and make things difficult for him, and doesn’t want him to So comfortable.

Why? Li Zhen asked.

Li Qing said: Because I am your boss, I will grade your internship. I don’t like my subordinate’s hair color to be too bright.

Li Zhen, who had been hot all day, zipped up his mouth.

have a dinner together. Li Qing said loudly to everyone in the office.

Company team building is an anti-social and anti-human activity.

Suddenly, everyone in the office suddenly had various urgent matters, including but not limited to, making an appointment with a boyfriend/girlfriend, going home to feed the cat/dog, going home to watch football, suddenly feeling unwell, not Hungry, homesick, etc.

I'll take it, Li Qing said, to the newly opened restaurant opposite, a self-service barbecue.

Five hundred per capita.

OK! Everyone overcame all difficulties and agreed with joy.

The only one who was unhappy was Li Zhen. He was too hot and had to wear a wig to eat barbecue. He was so bored that he was sweating. If this continues, he will go bald. Li Zhen was a little discouraged and was no longer active after get off work. Seeing this, Kitty asked him: Are you feeling uncomfortable? If you feel uncomfortable, you can go back first, no need to force yourself.

Li Qing smiled gently and said: Yes, there is no need to force it.

Don't force it! Li Zhen said, I really want to eat barbecue.

As soon as he entered the barbecue restaurant, his colleagues cheered and ordered meat, as if they wanted to eat Li Qing down. As an intern, Li Zhen helped the clerk cook barbecue for everyone. After a while, he was so hot that he was sweating profusely and his shirt sleeves were rolled up to his elbows. Li Qing remembered that he had a tattoo on his arm. He couldn't see it clearly that night at the movie, and he couldn't see it now.

Li Zhen felt extremely hot after just a few bites. The back of his shirt was soaked with sweat and clung to his skin.

He said: I'm going to the bathroom!

Li Qing put down his chopsticks before taking a few bites. A colleague advised him: Eat more. It's okay to eat more meat at night. Just don't eat carbohydrates. You won't gain weight.

Rita also put down her chopsticks and said quietly: We have passed the age where we will lose weight if we don't eat carbohydrates.

Li Qing glared at her and said: Go out and have a cigarette.

He walked out of the door and as soon as he took out the cigarette lighter, he saw Li Zhen squatting on the roadside around the corner. Li Zhen grabbed the wig in his hand. His blond hair had collapsed from the heat. He shook his head like a wet dog, and seemed to shed some sweat. Li Qing clicked his tongue in disgust.

Li Zhen turned around and saw Li Qing, and quickly put the wig on his head, just like that, as if he had two clumps of hair.

Li Qing was amused by him. Just when he wanted him to go to work tomorrow without wearing a wig, he called out: Uncle

Come in and eat, Li Qing said with a gentle smile, five hundred yuan per person, how many bites have you had? Don't let me lose.

Chapter 3 Fun

Li Zhen finished the barbecue with tears in her eyes. She didn't eat too much meat and didn't sweat too much.

Kitty is a person who changes her personality when she touches alcohol. After half a glass of beer, she proposed to renew the stall with bright eyes. Everyone refused. In the end, Li Qing and Rita worked together to stuff her into a taxi with her teeth and claws open. Those who gave things away gave away others, and those who went home went home. In the end, only Li Zhen and Li Qing were left on the roadside.

Li Qing was still thinking about the unfinished cigarette. He held the cigarette in his mouth and raised his chin to signal Li Zhen to go first.

Li Zhen didn't leave, but looked at him helplessly. He shook the cigarette case, but no cigarette came out, and shrugged. Li Zhen grabbed the wig in frustration. Li Qing saw this and said, "Take off the wig. Isn't it hot?"

Li Zhen smiled and said: Don't pick it.

Li Qing didn't know what tricks he was going to play again. He glanced at him and said nothing, thinking to himself, pick it or not.

I'm afraid you won't like it. Li Zhen said.

Li Qing blew out a puff of cigarette and squinted at him through the white mist, but in the end he said nothing. He hurriedly put out the cigarette, raised his hand to hail a taxi and left. In the rearview mirror, Li Zhen was seen under the streetlight. , waving his hands vigorously to say goodbye to him, with a kind of heartless cheerfulness.

Li Qing pinched the bridge of his nose with a headache, thinking that the cigarette was not finished yet.

Before they got home, Rita pulled Li Zhen into their work group. Kitty sent a string of garbled words, obviously very drunk. Li Qing took advantage of her and said: There will be a topic selection meeting tomorrow morning. If you are late, you will be deducted.

Li Zhen forcefully invaded their work group and sent three dog emoticons in a row, filling the screen with laughter. Although he was clearly not talking to him, he also replied on his own: Got it, you won't be late!

Li Qing clicked on his profile picture. The profile picture was of his border collie. Next to the dog was a clay sculpture that looked exactly like the dog. The clay dog and the real dog sat side by side. The clay dog's face looked kinder. What was the name of the border collie with sinister eyebrows and rat-like eyes? Li Qing thought about it.

At this moment, Li Zhen's friend application was sent.

The friend request reads: Woooooooooo I’m not full.

Li Qing failed and replied: Just communicate in the group, I'm afraid others will think I'm hiding my rules for you.

Li Zhen replied again: Will you treat me to dinner next time?

Li Qing replied: I won’t invite you, because I’m afraid others will think I’m hiding my rules for you.

Li Zhen replied instantly: I'm so hungry.

The taxi driver braked suddenly, and Li Qing was severely strangled by his seat belt. Only then did he realize that there was no difference between this and adding friends to chat. He put down his phone and did not reply. Within a few seconds, the phone vibrated again. He picked it up and looked at it. The message this time was from the dating app, and it was from Li Zhen: You can unspoken rules for me, I don't want to work hard anymore.

Li Qing glanced up guiltily. The taxi driver was concentrating on cursing the electric car that rushed out. No one in the world would pay attention to this news except him.

He thought for a while and replied: Uncle is old and doesn't want to play exciting things.

Li Zhen responded with a screen full of crying emoticons.

After a day's work, Li Qing was so exhausted that her whole body fell into the passenger seat. Lucy Liu's classic line came to her mind involuntarily.

Ah, youth.

It's nice to be young.

It is true that he is no longer a casually moved senior adult. Pies will not fall from the sky, nor will a handsome young man fall after you. This handsome young man can only be a small snack in Li Qing's working life. A small taste of it can keep him energetic. If he really eats it as a staple food, he will suffer from malnutrition.

Li Qing lives very close to the company, and he doesn't spend much time decorating his home. It's simple and clean. When he opens the curtains, he can see the lights-out company office in the distance through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

After washing up and drinking a glass of water, he suddenly felt that his small home was a little empty.

Why not get a dog?

This thought flashed through his mind and disappeared quickly.

It’s too troublesome, Li Qing thought. Raising a dog is no less troublesome than falling in love. You can break up if you fall in love, but you must be responsible to the end when raising a dog. Li Qing is a very responsible person, but he will not take responsibility for himself unless he has to. Life is tiring enough, so why not take less responsibility?

Before going to bed, he looked at his phone again. All social software was silent.

I feel a little empty in my heart, but it's not particularly uncomfortable. It's probably like lifting a coffee cup to take a last sip, only to find that the cup is empty. I don’t want to drink that much, so it’s empty when it’s empty.

The topic selection meeting on the second day went smoothly.

Li Zhen still wore a black wig to work obediently. When he met Li Qing downstairs, he smiled and waved. Li Qing noticed a small dimple on his left cheek. Today he gave up the slightly ill-fitting shirt and changed into a loose black T-shirt. The tattoo on his arm was a dog. He sat obediently and stuck out his tongue carelessly.

He is very tall, and when talking to Li Qing, he will bow slightly, making his shoulders appear straight.

The elevator was crowded with people going to work, and everyone was drowsy.

Li Qing didn't like physical contact with others, so he huddled in the corner of the elevator, thinking about the content of the meeting later. Li Zhen stood next to him, separating everyone like a wall. There were a lot of people and it was crowded. The two of them had their arms touching each other, and the backs of their hands brushed against each other. Li Qing withdrew his hand, put it in his pocket, and glanced at Li Zhen, who was staring intently at the changing floor numbers.

The office was on the 22nd floor. As soon as the elevator door opened, Li Zhen squeezed all the way out. Li Qing followed him and took the path he squeezed out. It felt ten times easier than squeezing into the elevator at work.

Add WeChat, brother? Li Zhen asked suddenly.

Le Thanh is on tight defense: No.

Li Zhen screamed.

During the topic selection meeting, there was no room for interns to interrupt. Li Zhen was responsible for taking out coffee for everyone, pouring tea and water, and poured a cup of hot tea for the hungover Kitty with great insight. The job of ordering takeout for lunch also fell on Li Zhen. Everyone ordered the food and sent it to him, and he would place the order and reimburse him later.

In front of everyone, Li Zhen raised his voice and asked Li Qing: Brother! what did you eat? I'll add you on WeChat, you can approve it and send it to me.

Li Qing put down his phone and said calmly: Ah, I have already sent it to the group.

Rita, who was immersed in sorting out the meeting minutes, looked up. Li Qing looked at her and looked away hastily, feeling a little guilty. But then I thought about it, he didn't do anything bad and seriously rejected the pursuit of a young man ten years younger than himself. Is this something heinous? He obviously did a good deed.

Li Zhen went to order takeout, while Li Qing was in a good mood.

Fun.

It's like a teacher giving lectures above and students passing notes below, or like a boss having a meeting and talking bad about others with colleagues below. A very secret sense of alliance, a very new way of fishing at work.

Li Qing knocked on the table lightly and said: Come back to your senses, let's go through the process of next week's activities before the takeaway arrives.

Kitty yawned unabashedly, her upper and lower eyelids just a millimeter away from closing, and her hands mechanically typed on the keyboard. Rita secretly rolled her eyes at him.

Chapter 4 I want to go back and walk the dog

The Summer Solstice event is not in this city, but is in cooperation with a creative brand in City B.

Although the theme is the summer solstice, it is almost October now, and the city A where they are located has already shown signs of early autumn morning and night, with a slight chill. But City B is a coastal city, so it must still be a sunny summer there, just like the reverberation of the summer solstice.

The event process has been gone through many times, and now the problem is the device in the center of the event exhibition hall.

It was originally planned to be a brand mascot more than two meters high, but Li Qing objected for a long time. He felt that the mascot did not fit with the theme of the event and even seemed awkward. After several rounds of arguments with the collaborators, we finally replaced it with a lighting device in the shape of the brand logo. It was beautiful, but it still had nothing to do with the theme. I can only say that the art style was unified.

Li Qing said frankly: I don't like this.

Kitty yawned and said: I don't like it either.

Rita said: I don't like it either, but the problem is, it's too late to change, and I don't have any good ideas.

While they were discussing, Li Zhen happened to come up with a bag of takeout in his left hand and a bag in his right hand. According to everyone's order, he placed the meals in front of everyone. He put his head to Li Qing's tablet, took a look, and said: I have an idea.

All heads turned to stare at him.

Li Qing was closest to him, and when he looked up he saw his left cheek. The strange thing was that when he was not smiling, the dimple had no trace at all. The skin on his face was flat and shiny, the bridge of his nose was straight, and his brow bones were raised. He was not smiling. His lines were cold and stern when he was smiling, and he was completely different from when he was smiling.

Kitty asked: What idea?

Li Qing woke up from a dream and parroted: What's your idea?

Li Zhen ran out briskly, took the tablet from his work station, clicked on the album, flipped through it again and again, found a picture and showed it to them. It was a strange thing welded together with silver metal sheets. It was in the shape of a spiral with a wide top and a narrow bottom. It was half a person tall and looked very similar to the outline of the partner's brand logo. There is a light source in the photo, and the light hits metal sheets in different directions, reflecting sparkling waves.

Li Qing's eyes lit up when he saw it.

Are there any other photos and videos? Send it to me and I'll take a look. Li Qing said.

Li Zhen scratched on the tablet and said without raising his head: Okay, I'll send it to you if you approve it via WeChat.

Li Qing: OK.

Li Zhen happily sent a lot of puppy emoticons to Li Qing. Everyone else went back to work, leaving them alone in the conference room. Li Qing opened the pictures and videos that Li Zhen packaged and sent to him. The more he looked at them, the more he liked them. He could already imagine how this metal thing would look like hanging in the event exhibition hall.

The only headache now is time.

The event is early next month. Li Qing said.

Li Zhen didn't think twice and said: No problem.

Li Qing was startled by his cheerfulness, frowned and said: This is no joke. If it is determined to be replaced, then the skylight must not be opened. It’s not just about money, it’s also a lot of hard work ahead of time. Kitty stayed up late making plans for a long time. If she messes up, she will be the first to kill you.

No joke, Li Zhen said, it can be modified based on the original.

Li Qing looked into his eyes and said: Okay, then you can come up with a plan for me to see today. If possible, I will negotiate with you.

Li Zhen agreed, picked up the tablet and ran outside. He walked out for two steps and then turned back and said seriously: WeChat cannot be deleted.

boring. Li Qing laughed and waved to him to leave quickly.

For the next half day, Li Zhen didn't move except for going to the bathroom, and no one bothered him. During the tea break, Li Qing specially brought him a Matcha Coluli, but he didn't eat it until after get off work. He just left it there, concentrating as if he was in a daze.

Kitty, who had been drowsy all day, turned off the computer on time and got ready to get off work. She walked out for a few steps, then looked back at Li Zhen, who was immersed in work, and asked Rita in shock: "Our company gives it to interns." Is the salary high?

Rita asked: Don’t you get off work? Come on, take this

Let's go, bye!

Rita turned to look at Li Qing, who was not off work yet, and asked teasingly: Is the salary our company offers you a high salary?

Li Qing asked: Don't you get off work? Come

Rita zipped up her mouth and ran away. After a while, everyone in the office had mostly run away, and it was very quiet, leaving only the white noise of the computer running. Li Zhen is drawing a picture, and the sound of the pen hitting the screen is regular. Suddenly, he stood up.

Li Qing asked: Is it done?

Li Zhen ate the Keluli in one bite, stuffed his mouth full, and said hurriedly and vaguely: I want to go back to walk the dog! I’ll do it after the walk and I’ll send it to you before twelve o’clock.

Li Qing originally wanted to treat him to a meal. Of course, it was out of his boss's care for the serious-working interns and he had no other ulterior motives. Li Qing understood very well how important it was for dog owners to walk their dogs, and how much the border collie needed walking. He didn't even mention eating, and quickly packed up his things and got ready to leave.

Li Zhen was so smart that he immediately noticed the implication of Li Qing's words and said hurriedly: Can we have dinner together? It's right next to that cafe, close to your home, and you can bring your puppy. Before Li Qing could even realize how he guessed that he wanted to treat him to dinner, or which cafe it was, or why Li Zhen knew where his home was, Li Zhen told him unilaterally. Well, I ran away like my ass was on fire.

Within five minutes, Li Zhen sent a link to a restaurant. Li Qing looked at the address and knew which cafe he was talking about. The profile picture on his dating app was taken at the entrance of the coffee shop, and he also photographed Li Zhen walking his dog by. So how did Li Zhen know that it was close to his home?

Can't figure it out.

Li Qing thought as she packed her things, walked home slowly, changed into comfortable home clothes, put her phone keys in her pocket, and walked slowly and leisurely for five minutes in the dusk breeze towards the appointed restaurant. From a distance, he saw Li Zhen sitting in front of the door. His blond hair was particularly conspicuous, and his border collie was also sitting obediently, sticking out his tongue and breathing heavily.

When I got closer, I realized that Li Zhen was also so hot that he almost stuck out his tongue and gasped.

Did you come running? Li Qing joked.

Unexpectedly, Li Zhen actually nodded and said: It's only five kilometers, use up its energy.

Li Qing thought to himself, the master of Bian Mu is really amazing.

Chapter 5 It loses weight

Li Zhen's border shepherd is named Sunday. He is black and white, with shiny hair and sharp eyes. He has been staring at Li Qing closely. It's hard for anyone to resist the puppy's eyes. Li Qing politely asked the owner to pet the puppy.

You can let it smell your hand before touching it. Li Zhen said.

Li Qing knelt down and stretched out his hand towards the puppy. Sunday put his dark, wet nose into Li Qing's hand and sniffed it carefully. His tail kept sweeping left and right, and Li Qing touched it. The fur on its head and chin is soft and dry, with no smell at all.

It can even shake hands. Li Zhen said.

Having mentioned this, Li Qing extended his hand.

Li Zhen said: Shake hands.

Sunday was like a child who was forced by his parents to perform a talent at the Chinese New Year dinner table. He reluctantly glanced back and forth between the guests and the host.

Li Zhen shouted: Sunday

The puppy resignedly put its left front leg in Li Qing's hand, and then put it down again. Without waiting for the next command, it put its right front leg up again, and hurriedly ended the entire performance process. Li Qing seemed to be hallucinating. It sighed helplessly.

Good dog. Li Zhen rubbed its furry head and gave it a dog snack from his trouser pocket. Its tail swung like a helicopter propeller.

Li Qing felt that his heart was about to melt, and he also touched its head.

Li Zhen said: Brother, you go in first, I will rest for five minutes, it is too hot.

It would be too embarrassing if the dog couldn't move because the dog was too cute.

Li Qing hummed calmly and went into the restaurant. The clerk led him to a booth by the window, served him tea, and handed him the menu. Li Qing flipped through the pages, looking out the window through the glass from time to time.

Li Zhen's presence cannot be underestimated.

His appearance is already convex, and his blond hair is more dazzling than the sunset. Because he came here with a dog, he changed into a sleeveless gray T-shirt. His arm muscles are tight, and the lines are not exaggerated. He has dimples when he smiles, not to mention that he has a smart puppy beside him. That is natural Pick-up material.

In just these five minutes, about two or three people came forward to talk, and four or five people hesitated.

Li Qing shook his head and sighed in his heart, trouble.

After Li Zhen rested for five minutes, he came in with his dog, and the two quickly ordered their meals. Because it is a pet-friendly restaurant, Li Zhen comes often. There are two or three dishes on the menu specifically for puppies. Li Zhen skillfully ordered a small snack for Sunday.

Eat so little?

Li Qing asked about the dog.

Li Zhen glanced at the dog lying on the ground dignifiedly and said: It lost weight.

Sunday seemed to understand. He glanced up at his owner and rested his chin on his front paws. Li Qing seemed to hear him sighing again.

How do you know this is close to my home? Li Qing suddenly asked.

Li Zhen said: Because when I saw you here, you were wearing slippers and no backpack. It felt like you were walking here.

Li Qing opened his eyes wide. He thought Li Zhen went out to watch a movie with him because he saw his profile picture and thought it was interesting. It turns out that before I saw the profile picture, I saw him when I was walking my dog by.

Li Zhen smiled and said nothing. There was only a slight dimple on his left cheek.

Li Qing knew that Li Zhen did it on purpose and deliberately let him know, so he stopped taking the action, hummed flatly, and ate his salad seriously. Li Zhen ate with great speed. He was about the same speed as his dog, and his eating habits were about the same. His food intake was about three times that of Li Qing.

Want to drink coffee? Li Zhen asked expectantly.

Li Qing slowly finished all the lettuce in the salad and asked: Have you finished writing the plan?

Li Zhen patted the sports bag he carried with him and said, "I brought the tablet out. I'll go back when I'm done." Can you come with me?

His tone was very open, as if he was a student asking his classmates if they wanted to play ball together after school. Facing such magnanimous and clear eyes, Li Qing felt that he was simply a dirty adult. Even if he refused even a little bit, it would appear that he had ulterior motives, so he had no choice but to agree.

Well, drink a little and get some fresh air. Li Qing said.

When checking out, Li Qing planned to pay the bill together, but Li Zhen was unwilling to do so. In the end, Li Qing had to compromise and pay the puppy's share. Li Zhen had no objection. They moved to the cafe next door. The sun had already set. It was almost the end of summer, and it was not too hot to sit outside. They occupied a table. Li Zhen buried himself in writing and drawing, while the puppy stayed quietly. Li Qing I drank coffee in a daze without a sip.

There is a small park not far away, where many children practice skateboarding, and the distant laughter floats in the wind. Li Qing is very busy at work and rarely has time to stop like this. When he stops, he doesn't know what to do.

While Li Zhen was concentrating, Li Qing bit her straw and looked up at him.

He was really concentrating, and his bangs were ruffled by the wind and brushed between his eyebrows, but he just blew them upward.

Very eye-catching.

It would be a lie to say that he is unhappy. Who wouldn’t be happy to be pursued by such a handsome young man? Li Qing sighed deeply in his heart, but this was too much trouble. He has passed the age where he still has unrealistic illusions about love. Instead of fussing, it is better not to bother. All love will lead to two results, staying together or separated.

Li Zhen is young and passionate. The love of young people is like a sunflower, always chasing the sun. Although he is not too old, compared with Li Zhen, Li Qing feels that he is already full of youth. He does not think that Li Zhen will always remain enthusiastic about him. If you are going to separate in the end, it is better not to start. This is not timidity. He is not timid, he just finds it boring.

He has experienced deep love and pleasurable sex, and he doesn't think there is anything particularly different about Li Zhen.

Thinking of this, Li Qing stopped looking at Li Zhen. He looked at Sunday and hooked his hand at it. Sunday just raised his head and glanced at him, without moving his tail, and had no intention of paying attention to him. Li Qing couldn't help laughing, this dog was indeed a thief and very smart.

alright! Li Zhen said suddenly.

Li Qing stretched out his hand towards him and said: Let me take a look.

Li Zhen handed him the tablet, and Li Qing lowered his head and looked at it seriously.

This plan was not written rigorously. Li Zhen was an intern after all, and he was most familiar with the content of his major, so he focused on describing how to modify the device and the modification process. To put it simply, after seeing the original device in person, he drew a sketch and made a model according to Li Zhen's vision, then welded and modified it based on the original device, and finally adjusted the light source to achieve the desired effect.

Difficult, but not completely impossible.

Okay, then

The moment Li Qing looked up at Li Zhen, he suddenly forgot what he was going to say, and another completely unrelated topic rushed into his mind like a flash of lightning.

wrong. He said.

Li Zhen said blankly: What's wrong?

Li Qing said: I came here from get off work on the day I took the headshot, and I wasn’t wearing slippers. When did you see me?

Chapter 6 Big Metamorphosis

Li Qing changed the plan given to him by Li Zhen into a more formal form overnight, and held a meeting the next day to discuss the charter, budget, and plan before showing it to his boss. The boss's name is Xin Xingxing, who is the same age as Li Qing. She is a tall girl, very thin, with long black hair that is smooth and smooth. She looks like a ghost when she walks through the company corridor with an expressionless face.

Li Qing has known her for many years. They were high school classmates.

He still remembered that when she introduced herself on the first day of high school, she stood on the podium and said calmly that her name was Xin Xingxing. The whole class thought she was stuttering. Several arrogant boys in the back kept laughing at him. Li Qing witnessed her expressionlessly giving the leading man a solid punch, which made the boy cry with a nosebleed.

Later, they went to the same university. They didn't know each other well until they graduated and went for recruitment, and they spoke less than ten sentences in total.

Then Li Qing witnessed her pouring water on the head of the sexist HR during the interview, and then calmly screwed on the cap of the plastic bottle and threw it into the recyclable trash can.

I'm furious. She said expressionlessly at that time.

Li Qing always witnessed her fierce moments, so when she finally said she wanted to start a business and invited him to join her, he agreed. Such a ruthless person, let alone starting a business, even if she is asked to develop a spaceship to conquer outer space, she can still successfully make aliens dance in circles and call her mother.

Li Qing also asked her why she chose herself as her entrepreneurial partner.

You are a good person. Xin Xingxing said.

When the company first started a few years ago, it was just the two of them. Their workplace was Xin Xingxing's home. They sat cross-legged on the floor to work, put their computer on the beanbag, and ate takeout three times a day. Just when Li Qing thought he would die suddenly from staying up late or eating takeout, one of their tweets finally went viral, and they began to imagine their life after getting rich.

I want to keep a male college student. Xin Xingxing said viciously.

So far, she has not realized her life ideal.

Xin Xingxing was in her own separate office, holding a cup of hot tea, calmly read the plan handed over by Li Qing, and said: It's very good. Intern, right? What's your name?

Li Zhen, Li Qing said garrulously, is very proactive.

Xin Xingxing looked up at him and said slowly: Oh.

baffling. Li Qing said.

Xin Xingxing added some more tea to himself, waved his hand and said impatiently: Go ahead and work harder, my mortgage will depend on everyone.

Li Qing gestured to her with his middle finger, holding the plan in hand, and went out to make arrangements in a hurry.

If we want to implement this plan, time is very tight. We have to quickly book a flight for Li Zhen to fly to city B. Li Qing has other work and will not be able to leave for a while. In the end, everyone decided that Kitty should follow him there and be responsible for helping him and Connect with colleagues and partners there.

Li Qing asked: What about your dog? Foster care? If relevant expenses are incurred, the company can reimburse them.

Li Zhen stared at Li Qing with his dog eyes and said seriously: I can drive there with the dog.

Li Qing said categorically: No.

Let's not talk about whether it is appropriate to bring a dog to do such an urgent job. It will take 7 or 8 hours to drive from here to city B without stopping. They can't afford to delay this time. Li Zhen and Kitty have to catch up tonight. Plane, start work early tomorrow morning, race against time.

Thinking of other ways, Li Qing said businesslikely, if there is really no other way, you can also refuse this task. Anyway, you are just an intern. You haven't started doing anything yet. It's still too late to stop now. If you fail after starting, Something went wrong and I stewed you and your dog.

Li Zhen thought about it seriously and picked at the nails of his right hand with his left hand. Li Qing could see that he was very nervous. During the period of knowing him, Li Zhen had never shown such a look. In Li Qing's mind, Li Zhen had always been It was the flamboyant young man with golden hair and metal earrings running towards him.

There is a way. Li Zhen said.

Li Qing looked away, looked at the plan in his hand, and said: Let's talk about it.

Li Zhen said: You can ask your roommate to take care of you for a while. Sunday is also very familiar with him.

roommate?

Suspense flashed through Li Qing's mind, but he was quickly pushed aside by work and said: "Okay, then you make arrangements, I'll go negotiate with Party A."

Li Zhen's nervousness and anxiety just now disappeared, and the familiar dimple appeared on his face again. He asked Li Qing in a low voice: If I finish it, can you treat me to a meal?

Li Qing looked up and looked around. Everyone in the office was immersed in work, and no one paid attention to them. He said: Let's eat barbecue. Didn't you feel full last time?

Li Zhen was so happy that he almost jumped up. He had to suppress his excitement and pretend to be stable.

Li Qing was in a good mood and shouted to Rita at the other end of the office: Contact the department next door to buy air tickets for them both.

Everything went very smoothly, Kitty announced their itinerary in the work group, and their flight took off on time and arrived on time. After landing, he went to see the device that was originally intended to be hung in the exhibition hall. Li Zhen drew a sketch of the modification, and then worked non-stop to make a scaled-down clay model.

Li Qing rented a small studio for them in advance, and they worked there. In fact, Li Zhen was mainly doing it, and Kitty was purely there to watch the excitement and report the work progress.

Everyone in the work group watched with great enthusiasm. After all, not everyone has watched the work of art students in the sculpture department.

Kitty has a strong desire to share, and she quickly posted a photo of them pushing a cart to dig mud. The mud they dug out was filled with everything. It was very dirty and had to be put into a mud mixer for processing. Kitty posted a video in which she wore gloves to catch the cylindrical mud bricks spit out from the mud mixer, smiling like a construction worker who was about to go home for the New Year.

Rita added: It seems like she is shitting.

Everyone was silent.

Everyone's mentality is like watching videos of washing carpets, cleaning horse hooves, and going to sea. They open the work WeChat group every hour to catch up on updates. Once they put on the coat of work, they feel more confident when fishing.

Li Qing didn't care on the surface, but in fact he was also secretly chasing updates. I wonder if Li Zhen was too busy at work, so the frequency of his harassment of Li Qing's messages was greatly reduced. Li Qing could only get a glimpse of Li Zhen from the photos and videos sent by Kitty. The photo of Zhen's trace revealed half of Li Zhen's arm covered with mud.

Li Qing enlarged the picture and looked at it again and again.

Li Zhen should be very fond of sports. The lines of his arms are particularly beautiful. When he exerts force, slightly raised veins will spread from his forearms to the back of his hands. The dog tattoo on his arms is particularly cute.

His hands were big, Li Qing recalled.

When your dry and warm hands sink into the soft mud, the feeling should be ambiguous and sticky.

While others were as tired as dogs from work, he was having some very shameful sexual fantasies, so Li Qing couldn't help but despise himself as a big pervert.

But it doesn't hurt.

Li Qing smiled in a good mood, closed her phone and started working.

Chapter 7 Go find its father

Li Qing thought something might go wrong, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

He received the call from Li Zhen at night after working overtime at home, closing his computer and getting ready to brush his teeth and go to bed. Li Zhen was panting while talking, as if he was making a phone call while running 800 meters.

Brother, can you help me take a look at the dog? Li Zhen said, please.

Li Qing looked at the time and felt a little annoyed, but Li Zhen spoke in a hurry, fearing that something really urgent would happen, so Li Qing could only suppress his anger and agreed to him.

Li Zhen heard that he was unhappy and stopped talking immediately. All he could hear on the other end of the phone was gasping. After a while, Li Zhen lowered his voice and apologized in a low voice: I'm sorry, I didn't expect this to happen. Don’t know what to do, don’t know who to contact

Li Qing's cell phone was on speakerphone, she quickly changed her clothes, took her car keys and prepared to go out.

Okay, okay, he said, we'll talk about it later.

Li Zhen just hurriedly explained the situation. Sunday was taken care of by Li Zhen's roommate Xiao Ding. Everything was fine at first. Today, Xiao Ding suddenly called Li Zhen and said that Sunday refused to eat and was not living on the ground. Howling, howling for a while and then stopped, but she still refused to eat. Xiaodian's phone suddenly stopped getting through. She couldn't get through no matter how hard she called her all day long, so she asked Li Qing to take a look.

Li Qing navigated there according to the location sent by Li Zhen. There were not many cars in the middle of the night, and he arrived quickly. It was a place that Li Zhen and Xiao Ding shared. It was in the creative park. It was not a residence. Li Qing looked like it. There was a warehouse with lights on inside. Li Qing went up and rang the doorbell and knocked on the door. There was no sound of anyone or a dog barking.

Weird and creepy.

Following Li Zhen's instructions, Li Qing found the spare key under the green plant pot next to the door, did some mental preparation for himself, and opened the door neatly.

It was very empty inside.

It’s really a warehouse, with a cement floor and cement walls. There are some incomprehensible graffiti on the walls. There is almost no decoration. As far as the eye can see, in the first floor hall of about fifty square meters, there is a very high oil painting easel. There were only line drawings, folding ladders scattered around, and some paints and painting tools.

There is also a kitchen and bathroom on the first floor, but no one is there.

Is anyone here! Li Qing called out, but there was no response, only an echo.

He walked along the metal stairs to the second floor. There was a corridor on the second floor. On the left side of the corridor were two rooms with closed doors. On the right side were metal railings. At the end of the corridor, there was a small and narrow metal staircase that should lead to Rooftop.

Li Qing pushed the first door but didn't push it, then pushed the second door and it opened.

It was a very small bedroom, and it was a mess. There were all kinds of junk. Li Qing saw Sunday lying calmly and leisurely in the middle of the room, lazily. When he heard the door opened, he just glanced at it. He looked energetic. His condition is very stable, and he doesn't look like he's going on a hunger strike or howling like a wolf.

Li Qing saw the dog cage placed in the corner of the room at his second glance.

The dog cage was very big, and it might not have been placed here originally, because Li Qing found that there were a lot of messy things piled up next to the dog cage. It was probably because the dog cage occupied the position of these things, making them look particularly cramped and messy. The dog cage was closed, and there was a person curled up inside.

What are you doing? Li Qingyi had a black line on his forehead.

The man in the cage moved, rubbed his eyes and turned over to sit up. His eyes were sleepy. When he saw Li Qingju there, he immediately shouted: Finally someone is here! Let me out! I'm going to starve to death!

Li Qing was speechless and went over to help him open the dog cage.

This is probably Li Zhen's roommate. No wonder he is called Xiao Ding. He has eight holes in his face instead of ten, and is covered with metal nail rings. However, he looks like a bean sprout and is as pale as if he hasn't seen his face in ten years. Saw the sun.

He crawled out of the dog cage like a zombie that couldn't walk. He dug out a pack of biscuits from a pile of things that looked like garbage to Li Qing and ate them all.

Li Qing touched Sunday's furry head and asked: Li Zhen asked me to come. What's going on?

Xiao Ding cried with a sad face: I am about to be tortured to death by this dog.

According to him, Sunday was fine for the first two days. He ate, drank, and defecated normally, and he was as good as usual. Yesterday, Xiao Ding took him out for a walk. There was some mud on his legs and he didn't want to take a bath. Xiao Ding took the basin of water and wanted to help him wash his feet. Who knew that he was unwilling and lifted the basin? Turned over and began to hunger strike and howl.

Xiaodian was given a headache by it and coaxed her all day long. Although she still refused to eat, she stopped howling at least. Xiao Ding thought about letting him go into the cage to sleep for a while, but he refused to go in and even threw Xiao Ding's paint into the cage. He cursed and went in to pick it up. Sunday hit his head and closed the cage door. .

Li Qing:
