"2010..." Cheng Minghao was shocked. "You knew Ye Fei seven years ago? No way, how come I didn't know?"
Seven years ago, they were still in college. Cheng Minghao and Yan Xiao were classmates in the same major and roommates. They were together almost all the time. He didn't realize that Yan Xiao had any special circumstances...
wrong!
Cheng Minghao suddenly had an idea: "When you came back from summer vacation that year, you suddenly said you wanted to start a business. Was it..." He looked at Yan Xiao, "Was it because of Ye Fei?"
Yan Xiao didn't say anything, but his silence said it all.
"No wonder." Cheng Minghao looked emotional.
Back then, Yan Xiao was an absolute celebrity in their major. He led his team to participate in the International Collegiate Programming Contest for two consecutive years and won the championship both years. As a result, their university has become the only Asian university to win the global finals championship since the event was held.
He had received countless offers from internationally renowned technology companies, but after talking to the professor, Yan Xiao rejected them all. He is not good at socializing, and things that are easy for ordinary people are extremely difficult for him.
His personality is more suitable for research than working in the workplace.
The professor had planned his future path for him long ago: after graduating from undergraduate school, he would go to MIT for graduate and doctoral studies, and then return to his alma mater to teach. Yan Xiao has always followed this path.
However, one day, he suddenly changed his mind. No matter what the professor says, I must start my own business.
The respected old professor was so angry that he fumed and threatened to never provide him with any help and kicked him out of the office.
At that time, Cheng Minghao and the professor both thought that Yan Xiao would not be able to hold on for long. His personality was so confident that it was almost arrogant, and he would not be able to withstand the difficulties and doubts from the outside world.
But they miscalculated.
Yan Xiao was rejected by investors, called a psycho, and kicked out because of his lack of knowledge of the ways of the world, but he never gave up.
Over the years, the company has grown step by step and has now become the top in the industry. Cheng Minghao almost forgot what happened when he first started his business. He didn't expect there were so many things hidden in it.
Cheng Minghao looked at Yan Xiao with complicated eyes: "Then our company is called Feixiao Technology..."
A hint of pride flashed across Yan Xiao's eyes, but it disappeared so quickly that Cheng Minghao couldn't catch it.
"It's a homophone of my name and Ye Fei's," Yan Xiao said, and after a pause, he added boastfully, "It sounds very nice."
There was silence in the corridor for a moment, and Cheng Minghao was shocked and couldn't recover for a long time.
Yan Xiao ignored him and fiddled with his phone for a while, then the content of their conversation came through the receiver.
——"I won't be back tonight, just to tell you."
——"Playing at a friend's house."
Yan Xiao listened to it twice with satisfaction, then saved the recording and said to himself, "This function is very good. I'm going to buy their company's stocks."
If Cheng Minghao hadn't heard it with his own ears, he would never have believed that Yan Xiao actually liked someone to this extent. He always thought that binary code was Yan Xiao's true love.
Cheng Minghao paused and asked again: "Does Ye Fei know about these things?"
"Why should I let him know?" Yan Xiao asked in confusion, "I was just satisfying my desire to get closer to him."
Thinking of the content of the call he just heard, Cheng Minghao suddenly had a bad feeling: "Okay, this doesn't count, what about other things? Have you expressed your feelings to him?"
"He doesn't like people who are too proactive and unreserved." Yan Xiao repeated. In order to prove that he was right, he began to talk incessantly about how badly the last person who took the initiative to confess to Ye Fei was rejected.
Cheng Minghao: “…”
He finally understood why something was wrong between them. No matter how much he did, it would be useless if the other party didn't know! Although Ye Fei doesn't like to be too proactive, this is too much!
Cheng Minghao was very suspicious that Yan Xiao was lying when he said he and Ye Fei had a good relationship. At least that was not the case from what he saw in the styling studio that day.
"You can take the initiative without making any noise," Cheng Minghao felt like a police officer who had encountered a girl who had fallen from grace, with a heavy responsibility, "not directly..."
"Excuse me, can I interrupt for a moment?" Yan Xiao said, and then rigorously corrected Cheng Minghao's mistake, "Being calm and taking the initiative are two contradictory concepts. It is impossible to do them at the same time."
As friends for so many years, Cheng Minghao knew that he really didn't understand, and he didn't care. He continued: "What I mean is that you can deliberately make certain moves to let Ye Fei come to you first, then it won't be considered as your initiative."
Yan Xiao's eyes lit up, thinking this was a good idea, and asked, "For example?"
Cheng Minghao racked his brains for a while, and finally dug out some useful things from his pitiful experience in love: "For example, you can edit a circle of friends that only he can see, saying that you are lonely eating alone. Or you can cater to his interests and share things he cares about with him on a daily basis. He will definitely chat with you for a few minutes, and the relationship will deepen as you chat."
Cheng Minghao concluded earnestly: "Brother Xiao, if you don't do anything or say anything, how can he know your feelings?"
Yan Xiao was unwilling to admit that he was wrong, but Ye Fei did ask for a divorce from him. He returned to the office, pondered for a while, and tentatively picked up the phone...
At that time, Ye Fei had just hung up the WeChat voice call with Ye's father.
Ye's father came to see him because Ye Yao was on the hot search on Weibo. Needless to say, he was very cold and mean during the conversation, and he almost said that he was a cold-hearted beast.
Ye Fei was too lazy to talk nonsense with him and put the phone on the coffee table. Whenever Ye's father said something, he would send a picture of Ye Yao being beaten, occasionally mixed with a few emoticons made by netizens, which made Ye's father so angry that he almost died on the spot.
"What kind of father are you?" Gu Ruijia is an only child and cannot understand why there are such partial parents. "You make it seem like you are not his biological child."
"That's right," Zhou Zhensheng was furious and patted his chest, "Ye Fei, don't bother with him in the future, let him stay with that loser Ye Yao. It just so happens that my mother really wants to meet you, so come to my house and recognize my mother as your godmother!"
Sun Qiong was observant. Seeing that Ye Fei only smiled and didn't say anything, she knew that he didn't want to talk about family matters, so she deliberately changed the subject: "Tsk tsk tsk tsk, Ye Fei's treatment is different from those of us who are not good-looking. This face-obsessed person is really amazing."
"What's wrong with being a face lover?" Zhou Zhensheng glared at him, "Who doesn't look at faces nowadays!"
"As for me," Sun Qiong took a sip of wine and deliberately argued, "I look at the soul."
Zhou Zhensheng snorted disdainfully and said, "People with ugly appearances have no chance to show their souls."
Sun Qiong: “…” He admits defeat!
Ye Fei watched them bickering from the side and felt that the bad mood brought by Ye's father had improved a little, but her interest was still not as high as at the beginning. He was casually flipping through his phone, trying to find some stupid news, when he suddenly received a message.
[Yan Xiao: Share the link - Breaking news: Don’t stay up all night anymore, a man became bald overnight because of this! 】
Ye Fei: “???”
Ye Fei was so angry that he laughed. Was Yan Xiao cursing him to be bald? !
This is intolerable!
He called directly: "What do you mean?"
Yan Xiao looked at his phone in disbelief. He didn't expect that Cheng Minghao's suggestion would actually be useful! It's amazing, but I don't know why Ye Fei's tone seems a little wrong...
"It's nothing," Yan Xiao said, "I just want to show you."
Ye Fei became even angrier: "Why am I looking at this? Do you think I will be bald?"
Yan Xiao immediately said: "No."
Cheng Minghao said that he wanted to share things that he cared about. In the past, Ye Fei cared about work, but now... Thinking of the situation in the styling studio that day, Yan Xiao felt that Ye Fei now cared more about her appearance, so he sent this to him.
However, his dry words were not convincing at all. Ye Fei took his phone to the balcony and said angrily: "Don't worry about it. I look good even if I'm bald!"
What day is today? Forget about his dad, even Yan Xiao, who hasn’t contacted him for eight hundred years, comes to make trouble for him.
Ye Fei was upset and was about to continue mocking when she heard Yan Xiao's voice.
His tone was very serious, as if every word came from the heart: "Of course, you look good no matter what." He paused, still feeling it was not enough, and added, "The best looking."
Since childhood, Ye Fei has heard many people compliment his appearance and has almost become immune to it. But for some reason, Yan Xiao's simple two sentences made him feel a little embarrassed for the first time in a long time.
The anger in my heart seemed to be poked with a hole, and it was gone in an instant.
Ye Fei snorted and laughed: "Don't think I will forgive you just because you flatter me."
"No," Yan Xiao denied, his voice a little nervous and a little overwhelmed, "Did I make you angry?"
Before Ye Fei could say anything, he heard the rustling sound of flipping pages. Then, he heard Yan Xiao say, "Can you tell me where it is specifically? I'll write it down and avoid it next time."
Ye Fei couldn't help laughing out loud, and felt that Yan Xiao was actually a little cute. He teased him deliberately: "Don't you have a good memory? Why do you still need notes?"
"Ye Fei! What are you doing? Why don't you come back?" Gu Ruijia's loud voice came from the living room.
Yan Xiao did not answer Ye Fei's question, but only asked: "Are you at Gu Ruijia's house?"
Ye Fei said "yes".
Perhaps Ye Fei's laughter just now gave Yan Xiao courage. He carefully chose his words and said slowly, "Oh, then we are not far away." He then said meaningfully, "I just happened to pass by your place on my way back from the company."
Maybe it was because the summer night was too peaceful and quiet, and Ye Fei also softened his heart. He couldn't help but said, "It's already this late, and you're still in the company."
"Well," Yan Xiao said that there was a new project that needed to be evaluated, but he quickly changed the subject, "But it's done, and I can go back now."
There was no conversation between the two for a while. Occasionally, an unknown bird flew across the night sky, making a chirping sound that was light and melodious.
"Do you want to come over and play?"
"Do you want to eat double skin milk?"
They both spoke at the same time.
Ye Fei didn't want to eat at first, but now he thought it was okay to eat a little, so he asked Yan Xiao: "What do I want to eat?"
"I'll bring it to you." Yan Xiao said immediately. He stood up and walked out without even having time to pick up his coat.
The gentle evening breeze, carrying the scent of lilac flowers, drifted into the company building through the half-open window. Yan Xiao's whole body was tense and his heart was beating violently, like a believer waiting for God's judgment.
Fortunately, Ye Fei didn't make him wait too long.
"Okay," Ye Fei said, and added, "Thank you."
"You're welcome." Yan Xiao pressed the elevator down button. For the first time in his life, he urgently wanted to increase the speed of the car to over 100 miles per hour.
