Chapter 29: Unharmonious Neighbor Relationship...
Jiang Junnan was dancing at a small bar in Lijiang when his cell phone started vibrating wildly.
It was not until he came out of the dance floor that his friend reminded him that someone had called him.
He picked up his phone and saw several missed calls.
"What happened?!"
Jiang Junnan hurried out of the bar, almost tripping at the door. "What's the hurry? Are you okay?"
Gu Xun's cold voice came from the other end of the phone.
"What did you say to Yue Qianling?"
"ah?"
Jiang Junnan didn't react for a moment, "What should I say to her? I don't know her well."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was startled and his footsteps stopped at the door. "Oh...you were talking about the elevator incident. Do you know about it?"
On the other end of the phone, Gu Xun closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
It turns out that this is really true.
Just now he asked Yue Qianling what his roommate said. Yue Qianling obviously didn't want to talk about it, so she just said "He annoys me" and changed the subject.
After finishing the game, he came directly to ask Jiang Junnan.
The only roommate who can interact with Yue Qianling is Jiang Junnan.
"That day I went downstairs to get takeout and asked you why you rejected Yue Qianling. You said you were annoyed with her. My cell phone receiver was not very sensitive, so I played it directly and she heard it. I tell you, I definitely didn't mean it at the time. I—"
"brother."
Gu Xun suddenly interrupted Jiang Junnan.
Jiang Junnan: “Ah?”
Gu Xun: "Your birthday is next Thursday, right?"
Jiang Junnan was suddenly touched. He didn't expect that Gu Xun still remembered his birthday.
"Ah, what? You want to celebrate my birthday?"
"Change your flight ticket and return to Jiangcheng after your birthday."
Gu Xun said coldly, "Otherwise I'm afraid you will stay 21 forever."
Jiang Junnan: “…”
After hanging up the phone with Jiang Junnan, Gu Xun found it more and more ridiculous.
He suddenly stood up, walked out of his house, stood at Yue Qianling's door and rang the doorbell.
No one answered, so he pressed the button a second time, but still no one came to open the door.
There was a chilly draft in the corridor and the doorbell received no response.
Gu Xun resisted the urge to whip Jiang Junnan's corpse eight hundred times and reached out to press the doorbell again.
Suddenly, the cell phone rang.
It was a strange call.
Gu Xun glanced at Yue Qianling's door and then answered the phone.
A strange female voice came from inside.
"Hey, did you sleep?"
Gu Xun frowned, "Excuse me, who is this?"
"Um, don't you remember me? We met in the coffee shop last week. We were sitting face to face."
When Gu Xun heard this, he immediately became furious.
He was deeply impressed by this woman.
When she approached him in the coffee shop, she was quite normal. She just asked for his WeChat, but Gu Xun didn't give it to her. Then she smiled and said that she would definitely find him.
As a result, the next night, Gu Xun received a friend request from a stranger.
After he refused, a phone call came directly.
I also say with a smile, "Hi, are you asleep?"
Gu Xun majored in computer science, so he knew very well how this woman found his contact information through illegal means.
But at that time he didn't want to talk to her more and directly blocked her number.
I didn't expect that just a few days later, she changed her number and called me again.
He tilted his head, his face reflected in the dim light, and said coldly: "Are you sick? A girl doesn't know how to respect herself? Is it fun to keep pestering me?"
He took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and then continued, "Next time you call me, I won't waste my time talking to you and will call the police directly."
After saying that, he hung up the phone neatly.
However, before he lifted his finger from the screen, he felt a gaze falling on him.
He slowly turned his head and unexpectedly met Yue Qianling's eyes who was standing at the elevator entrance.
“…”
“…”
He put his shirt in his pockets and tilted his head to look over. The bright light made his outline very sharp. He stared at Yue Qianling in a daze without saying a word.
At that moment, Gu Xun was actually asking himself whether he had done something evil in his previous life, otherwise why would the whole world be trying to trip him up.
But Yue Qianling just looked at him straight, not hiding her emotions at all.
She went downstairs to throw away the trash, and as soon as she got out of the elevator, she saw this scene.
It was as if she saw his expression when she was rejected, which was also so impatient.
With a sour feeling surging in her heart, Yue Qianling pursed her lips tightly, trying not to look at him, and walked straight to her door, reaching out to press the combination lock.
Just as I was about to open the door, someone suddenly grabbed my wrist.
Yue Qianling was stunned for a moment, staring at his hand motionlessly, her heart skipping a beat for unknown reason.
The temperature of his palm was not high, but Yue Qianling felt like there was fire burning on her skin.
The intimate physical contact I had longed for came a little late, but it still felt like an electric shock.
Gu Xun didn't think his current behavior was out of line, and looked at Yue Qianling and said, "Let's talk first."
Yue Qianling nodded, "Then let go first."
"OK."
Gu Xun stared into her eyes, and when he saw that she didn't seem to be particularly resistant, he let go of her hand.
As a result, the next second, Yue Qianling rushed into the house at lightning speed and slammed the door shut.
Then she opened the peephole, revealing a pair of eyes, and blinked, "What do we have to talk about? Don't forget, we are just colleagues with little interaction, and -"
She thought about the wording and said, "Not a very harmonious relationship between neighbors."
Unharmonious neighbor relations?
Gu Xun had never been angry so many times in one day, and he even smiled a little crazy.
He looked at Yue Qianling's big, blinking eyes and suddenly became very agitated. He pressed the tip of his tongue against his cheek, nodded several times, turned around and gave Yue Qianling a thumbs up.
"Yue Qianling, you can do it."
After Gu Xun left.
Yue Qianling turned around, leaned against the door, and let out a long sigh.
There was no light on in the living room, only a sliver of light from the room shone through. In her dim vision, she looked down at her wrist.
He clearly didn't use much force, but my skin still seemed to retain the feel of his touch.
Yue Qianling didn't know what he was thinking. He stretched out his other hand and slapped his wrist angrily.
Gu Xun, are you sick?
-
The next day was Friday.
The low pressure radiation that was visible to the naked eye by Gu Xun was so wide that it affected the testing group, causing them to feel embarrassed to take a break. After working diligently for a whole morning, they were finally able to take a break.
Yi Hong couldn't stand it anymore. He typed some code for a while, then suddenly turned to Gu Xun and said, "Why don't you go to the lounge for a while? Give us some breathing space?"
Gu Xun tilted his head and looked over, raising his eyes, "Can't you tell I'm busy?"
"Please, please?" Yi Hong put his hands together and bowed. "The External Relations Department just installed the Infinite War in the lounge today. Would you like to go and play for a while? If not, you can just go and enjoy the scenery."
Gu Xun had no interest in the VR gaming equipment that the Commercial External Relations Department brought in. It was not competitive enough and too entertaining, but he did want to make a cup of coffee to calm down.
I walked to the lounge, and before I even stepped in, I could already hear a different kind of noise than usual.
Gu Xun looked inside and his eyes suddenly froze.
The VR gaming device that the External Relations Department had just moved in was standing in the middle. Yue Qianling was wearing VR glasses and playing the built-in Resident Evil game.
She was immersed in that world and had no idea that there were many people watching her, dancing, jumping, and squatting to avoid being shot.
When a boss rushed towards her, she screamed and started punching and kicking with such force that she forgot that she was in a virtual world.
Suddenly a man stood in front of Gu Xun, blocking his view.
Gu Xun lowered his eyes and looked at his back unhappily, then found a position with a better view.
Yue Qianling was still fighting with the boss. She was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and shorts. Her calves were slender but muscular, and her bones and flesh were well-proportioned. She kept kicking and pounding, and soon the boss turned around and ran away.
Yue Qianling kept pestering it and grabbed a zombie head and threw it at it.
"Come back here!"
Then she picked up the gun and shouted, "Come on! Point the gun!"
As a result, the lights suddenly dimmed and she couldn't see where the boss was hiding. Just as she was looking for him, he suddenly jumped out from under her feet. She was so scared that she squatted down and started beating him.
Gu Xun leaned against a pillar nearby, unable to move his eyes away.
A few days ago he had a feeling of unreality, he couldn't figure out his feelings, and his actions were driven only by his subconscious.
And now, the living girl in front of him was overlapping frame by frame with the image he had imagined in his mind.
Gu Xun considers himself a sensory animal, not a visual animal.
And at this moment, he seemed to clearly see the perfect integration of his vision and feeling.
All his senses were flooded with an unprecedented feeling of fullness, like cotton wool rapidly expanding in his chest. It was light and insensitive, yet it had an lingering sense of presence that tickled every sensory cell in his body.
Gu Xun stared at Yue Qianling and unconsciously recalled many things from the past.
Including the way she pretended to be a lady in front of him.
I felt a bit annoyed at that time.
Now I feel strange...
He lowered his head and smiled.
It feels very cute.
When I looked up again, the game was over.
Yue Qianling stopped and gasped for breath.
When others play VR, they basically only move their hands, but she is the only one who punches and kicks, so there is a lot of sweat on her forehead.
Seeing her lower her head to take off her glasses, Gu Xun looked up and walked towards her.
However, when he was a few steps away, he suddenly saw a man walk over, stand in front of Yue Qianling, put his arms around her head, and help her take off her glasses.
"……?"
Gu Xun suddenly narrowed his eyes.
-
Yue Qianling didn't expect that she could be so tired from playing. After she stopped and was about to take off her glasses, Ren Tianyi suddenly came forward to help.
"Let me do it."
After putting down his glasses, Ren Tianyi asked, "How do you feel?"
"Yes, it's fun."
Yue Qianling looked at the device in front of her and exclaimed, "The sense of immersion is really strong."
As the director of the Business External Relations Department, Ren Tianyi negotiated for this machine as a jointly developed device without spending a penny.
It was just debugged today, and Yue Qianling happened to pass by. She showed obvious curiosity about this thing, so Ren Tianyi invited her to try it first.
In other words, the two people just met twenty minutes ago.
But Ren Tianyi's every move made Yue Qianling feel like an old friend.
"The main thing is that HTC VlVE's glasses are also very good."
Ren Tianyi said, raising his hand towards her, "Are you tired? Do you want to try the coffee I made?"
“Can you make coffee?”
Yue Qianling followed him to the tea room and said, "Basically no one uses the company's coffee machines."
"Then you didn't see me use it."
As he was speaking, a voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Then please buy me a drink too?"
Yue Qianling's back suddenly tightened and he froze for a moment. He slowly turned around and saw Gu Xun looking at them with a half-smile.
"Gu Xun?" Ren Tianyi was also stunned for a moment, his eyes moved slightly, but he quickly concealed his unnatural expression and immediately waved at him with a smile, "Come on."
Gu Xun turned to look at Yue Qianling.
The moment their eyes met, Yue Qianling immediately turned her face away, pretending that she saw nothing, and walked towards the tea room.
There are square tables for four people in two rows.
Yue Qianling originally wanted to turn her back to the window, but Gu Xun sat down at the window seat before her, looking at her with his chin raised, as if he had something to say.
So Yue Qianling paused for a moment and then sat down opposite him.
Gu Xun was originally leaning lazily on the chair, but when he saw her sitting down, he straightened his back.
Just as he was about to speak, he saw her move to the side, as if she hadn't seen him, as if she had thought of something. Then she looked straight ahead.
Gu Xun: “…”
He nodded, tapping his knuckles on the table. "Last night—"
When I looked up, I saw Ren Tianyi coming over with a few glasses of water.
"The coffee machine seems to be broken. What a shame. I'll treat you to my coffee next time."
As he spoke, he had already put down his water cup and was about to sit down next to Yue Qianling.
Gu Xun suddenly stood up and said, "Manager Ren, please sit over there so you don't get exposed to the sun."
While Ren Tianyi was stunned for a moment, Gu Xun had already quickly sat down next to Yue Qianling.
His aura was so close at hand that Yue Qianling's heart suddenly became tense, and she dared not look at him anymore.
Ren Tianyi came back to his senses, looked down at Gu Xun, and when their eyes met, he understood everything instantly.
What kind of person is Ren Tianyi? He has eaten more meals than Gu Xun for many years, and he can clearly understand his intention with just one look.
"Okay." Ren Tianyi retracted his gaze and sat down opposite him obediently. "By the way, Gu Xun, how come you have time to come here? I heard recently that your project is seriously stuck. It seems that there has been no progress for a long time. I thought you would have to work overtime day and night. I haven't seen Yi Hong and the others for a long time."
Gu Xun looked up at him and smiled, "It's the progress of the art card, not our development."
Ren Tianyi: "Oh...I see...I heard them all saying that, and I thought it was you who developed it..."
Has the art progress of the Ninth Division been stuck?
While listening to Ren Tianyi's words, Yue Qianling couldn't help but glance at Gu Xun out of the corner of her eye.
By chance, he looked over too.
Sure enough, Yue Qianling knew that Murphy's Law would definitely happen to him.
When their eyes met, Gu Xun suddenly lowered his voice, moved closer to her, and said as if he was whispering to her, "I don't know the girl who called me last night."
Yue Qianling blinked, not understanding what he was talking about.
But Gu Xun's voice was not soft at all, and Ren Tianyi could hear every word clearly.
He raised his eyebrows and stared at the two men.
Gu Xun ignored his gaze and just focused on Yue Qianling.
"She used illegal means to find my contact information and often harassed me, so I spoke like that."
His gaze was too direct, as if he was oblivious to the people around him. Yue Qianling inexplicably felt that the atmosphere had become a little strange.
It seemed like he was explaining something to her.
"Why are you telling me this?" Yue Qianling didn't look up to meet his eyes, and whispered, "I don't want to know how other girls pursue you."
"Weren't you angry last night?"
"I'm not angry about this—"
Before Yue Qianling finished speaking, she suddenly realized something was wrong and stopped talking immediately.
When they looked up, they saw Ren Tianyi looking at them with a strange look.
Yue Qianling immediately turned her head away, her eyes wandering to the other side, "What does this have to do with me? Are we familiar with each other?"
“…”
Gu Xun turned his head away helplessly, but saw Ren Tianyi's mouth curled up.
Then, Ren Tianyi raised his head, as if he had not heard the conversation between Gu Xun and Yue Qianling at all, and continued the previous topic: "Since you are not so busy with development, let's go for a drink together later. The last time we had dinner together was during the company's team building."
Although he was talking to Gu Xun, he didn't wait for his answer and immediately looked at Yue Qianling.
"Can you drink?"
Yue Qianling was about to speak, but she heard Gu Xun say first: "She won't."
"?"
Yue Qianling was a little angry, but she noticed that Ren Tianyi's eyes were on her, so she couldn't show any expression, so she could only say, "I can drink, I've been drinking since I was a child, but I don't drink much."
This time it was Gu Xun who turned his head and looked at her in confusion.
Weren't you the one who said you didn't drink at all when we were having dinner last year?
Ren Tianyi just stared at Yue Qianling, smiled and nodded, "That's great, why don't we find a time to go together, I can mix drinks, you can order whatever you want then."
“So amazing?”
Yue Qianling was very supportive of him, "I didn't expect you to be quite knowledgeable about wine."
“It’s also out of helplessness.”
Ren Tianyi shook his head. "In fact, sometimes I envy people like Gu Xun who have jobs like this. They only need to deal with machines, which is actually much simpler. We deal with people, and we are really exhausted every day."
“…”
Gu Xun folded his arms and looked at him with a forced smile.
“So when I first started working, I would go to the bar and have a few drinks every night.”
He sighed, "Over time, I'm just like half a bartender."
After listening to his description, Yue Qianling felt that the scene was quite romantic.
Just as I was thinking about it, Gu Xun beside me suddenly spoke.
"Really? I envy you, Manager Ren. You're well-informed." He paused before continuing, "Unlike me, I never have the energy to go to bars after work. I just play ball, exercise, or go home and read a book."
Ren Tianyi: “…”
