Qin Fanglu went to the hospital for a complete physical examination, and the results showed that he was fine and his heart was healthy.
But it is true that his heartbeat is disordered, and it is also true that he occasionally feels as if his heart is beating out. Since medical treatment could not explain it, Qin Fanglu, with his usual rigorous attitude and scientific spirit, placed an order for a smart watch that can measure heart rate. He must find out what is wrong with him.
After returning from the holiday, the project had reached a critical development stage, and Zhu Fang also had to prepare for the next round of financing. Everyone from the marketing department to the technology department was very busy. The office was often brightly lit at eight or nine in the evening, and dinner could only be eaten in the company.
As the sun sets, Ruan Cunyun looks up from the dense code and stretches: "I'm going to order takeout. Sister Mei, what do you want to eat? Let's order together?"
Facts have proved that company travel is effective in bringing the team closer together. Ruan Cunyun has become much more familiar with his colleagues. He can eat with others at noon without having to escape to a remote lounge to enjoy a lunch break alone.
Of course, it was also because of the busy work. Ruan Cunyun had little time for lunch break, and everyone was concentrating on work, so there was less time for gossip and chatting.
Xiaomei stood up from her seat and stretched her stiff neck: "Okay, okay, I'm starving. You order first?"
Ruan Cunyun ordered a meal on the food delivery app, then handed the phone to Xiaomei: "Pass it around."
After the colleagues finished ordering, Xiao Mei returned the phone to Ruan Cunyun and asked in a low voice, "Boss Qin is here too. Do you want to ask him if he wants to eat takeout?"
It was like a corner of a perfect painting was torn off, and Qin Fanglu became a flesh-and-blood person.
Qin Fanglu frowned slightly as he sat behind the computer. When did they add Ruan Cunyun on WeChat
Teacher Dan seems to be a little busy recently and hasn't posted any new pictures for a long time.
"Are you in a hurry?" Ruan Cunyun observed carefully.
Since returning from the trip, Qin Fanglu has become less cold and scary in Ruan Cunyun's heart.
"Sure, sure." Ruan Cunyun quickly clicked on the friend request, and the other party accepted it quickly.
Xiaomei shook her phone and said, "Xiaoyun, I have transferred the message to you through WeChat. Remember to receive it."
Qin Fanglu almost immediately raised his eyes from the documents, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes behind the thin lenses, and he curled his lips and said, "Eat."
However, Qin Fanglu called out from a distance: "Ruan Cunyun, come and sweep me."
It might be because he had lent his clothes to Ruan Cunyun many times, or it might be because Mr. Qin, who seemed calm and composed in front of others, could actually turn pale when frightened by a small flying insect.
Ruan Cunyun nodded, pressed the order button, and reported to everyone: "The takeaway will arrive in 40 minutes."
Ruan Cunyun moved his fingers and replied to the last message: [We need to screen photos, do post-production editing, and edit videos. We have very high standards for ourselves, so a conservative estimate is that it will take about two months.]
A piece of news caught Ruan Cunyun's attention, saying that at 9 o'clock tonight, a huge red moon can be seen in most parts of China. The next time you can see such a beautiful view will have to wait 26 years!
After all, this is their first time shooting Hanfu, and they don’t know what the final effect will be.
Alas, I have to work overtime tonight, so I will definitely miss this beautiful view.
"Oh!" Ruan Cunyun held up his phone to scan the code, but what appeared on the screen was not the transfer interface, but the WeChat friend application page.
During busy working days, arguing with fans and netizens has become a pleasure. Ruan Cunyun is not socially anxious on the Internet at all. He has never met netizens in person, which makes him relax.
Qin Fanglu clenched his phone tightly: "They all transferred money to you via WeChat, but I can't?"
Everyone in the Science and Technology Department worked overtime for a week and successfully won the project. Sister Rain assigned the final tasks and said that we should work hard to finish them tonight and we don’t have to work overtime tomorrow.
Qin Fanglu ordered the takeout and returned the phone to Ruan Cunyun. He felt his heart beating a little violently, so he raised his arm to check his heart rate on his watch.
Fortunately, there was overtime pay, so every night after returning home, Ruan Cunyun just wanted to lie down and browse Weibo, and he didn't even want to respond to Xu Feifei's game invitation.
Ruan Cunyun took the money from his colleagues and hesitated. Should he ask his boss for money? He didn't know how to ask, so he decided to treat Mr. Qin to a meal.
Comment reminders come quickly.
Ruan Cunyun became bolder and walked to Qin Fanglu's table with his phone in hand: "Mr. Qin, are you having dinner? We are ordering takeout."
In fact, ever since Ruan Cunyun gave his phone to other colleagues to order food, Qin Fanglu has been waiting quietly at his seat, hoping that Ruan Cunyun would come and ask him.
[? ? Even the donkeys in the production team are not as brave as you guys!]
[You haven’t been in business for so long, and now you only post leaves on Weibo? Thank you, my wife, for taking the time out of your busy schedule to treat me [Rosejpg]]
"Okay!" Zhu Han rubbed his shriveled belly and said loudly, "Xiao Yun, I will transfer the money to you via WeChat!"
Ruan Cunyun said "Hmm?" in confusion.
[After three months and two days, Miss Ya is finally open for business [smilejpg]]
Ruan Cunyun straightened his back and looked out the window. The sky was still bright. He lowered his head regretfully and chewed rice grains.
[I want to see my selfie, I want to see my selfie, I want to see my selfie!]
Ruan Cunyun remembered that he hadn't posted on Weibo for a long time, so he logged on to his Weibo account, took a picture of the maple leaves he had picked up from Maple Valley, and posted it on Weibo with the caption: [Happy Autumn. ]
Ruan Cunyun was eating takeout at his workstation and finally had some free time to relax and look at his phone.
When he really got busy, Ruan Cunyun found that this was a very challenging job. He needed to continuously learn new knowledge, be familiar with the company's products, understand customer demands, and keep up with market changes.
[When will the feature film of the location shoot that Yamei and Sister Qiangwei did last time be released? ! I have been looking forward to it since the live broadcast that day! ]
Ruan Cunyun likes the moon because it is quiet, content with loneliness, and represents the night, which is a time that belongs entirely to him.
"No." Qin Fanglu calmly put down his arm, and his watch showed a value slightly higher than his average heart rate.
In fact, Ruan Cunyun didn’t know how long it would take, he just casually lowered the fans’ expectations.
While traveling, Ruan Cunyun added some colleagues on WeChat, but no one dared to ask Qin Fanglu to add him as a friend. Is it so easy to become friends with the boss in the circle of friends
Qin Fanglu sent a transfer without saying hello, which was exactly the same amount as the dinner. Ruan Cunyun accepted it with peace of mind.
Zhu Fang has his own special office software, and WeChat is a very private thing.
When he couldn't sleep, Ruan Cunyun could stare at the moon all night long. Thinking about so many pairs of eyes that had gazed at the moon, and so many shadows and imperfections throughout history, his own sadness seemed so insignificant.
Ruan Cunyun mechanically refreshed his Weibo with his fingers, glanced at the screen listlessly, and suddenly sat up straight.
Your special attention just sent a Weibo—Teacher Dan drew a new picture!
Ruan Cunyun's eyes lit up. He felt that this picture was unusual just by looking at the small picture. He was about to click on the large picture, but immediately locked the screen as if he had received an electric shock.
I almost forgot that he is still in the company! If my colleagues saw me, I would be doomed.
Ruan Cunyun's heart was beating fast and he looked around.
Zhu Han was concentrating on eating, Xiaomei and Sister Rain were eating fruit and chatting about the new shopping mall, and Qin Fanglu not far away was staring at the computer screen intently. No one paid attention to Ruan Cunyun.
Unlocking the phone again, Ruan Cunyun buried his face in his arms and secretly opened the large picture.
Damn! This picture is too much!
Ruan Cunyun's nose was almost bleeding and he tried hard to hold back his suppressed scream.
The young man was dressed in white and was forced to kneel upright in front of a demon palace. His slender body was tied up with a red rope from the neck to the chest, and his thighs and calves were tied together with red ropes. His long black hair dragged to the ground, his eyes were covered with a black ribbon, his scarlet lips were slightly parted, and there seemed to be traces of dried tears on his cheeks.
It was like a banished immortal being cruelly retaliated and tortured by the devil, yet he remained cool, aloof, upright and spotless.
It makes people want to destroy his purity even more.
There is not a single nudity in the whole picture, but the tension is full, which makes people's blood boil.
Ruan Cunyun covered his mouth and turned into a screaming chicken with other fans, replying with a bunch of "ahhh" in the comments.
He recalled the red rope anklet that Bai Qiangwei had put on him when they were scouting and shooting in Maple Valley. It was an exact echo of Teacher Dan's painting!
Teacher Dan's new work hit Ruan Cunyun's sexual fetish hard. He couldn't even blow rainbow farts this time, and could only scream. "Xiao Ruan!" Sister Rain stood up and called him, and Ruan Cunyun locked the screen alertly.
"We have a conclusion to the algorithm problem we discussed this morning. Come and listen to it."
Ruan Cunyun was pulled back to reality. The office lights were flickering and the codes were in black with white text. He suddenly felt a sense of emptiness.
After listening to the algorithm solution, Ruan Cunyun returned to his seat. The romantic atmosphere in his heart disappeared completely. He opened Weibo again and saw Teacher Dan’s paintings, and the sense of satisfaction returned.
As overtime work was about to start, Ruan Cunyun was much more clear-headed and rushed to leave a comment on Teacher Dan's Weibo: [Thank you Teacher Dan, I stood up immediately!! I couldn't see the red moon tonight because I had to work overtime. I was so sad, but now your painting has saved me! I have no regrets tonight.]
After posting this comment, Ruan Cunyun felt fulfilled and went back to work overtime with peace of mind.
Qin Fanglu sat behind the computer, slacking off openly, watching the value of the little red dot on the message alert jump up rapidly.
He clicked on the new comment and scrolled down quickly.
Normally, Qin Fanglu rarely reads comments, and even if he does, he reads very quickly. Today, he read even faster because most of them were meaningless howls and exclamations, as well as a myriad of descriptions of physiological reactions.
Qin Fanglu paused and saw the comment from the old pinkie named "Teacher BALLS cured my Yangwei", saying that there would be a red moon to see tonight.
After logging out of Weibo, Qin Fanglu searched the news and indeed saw the relevant reports.
The red moon, he wants to see it.
Qin Fanglu raised his eyes slightly, and the office area was filled with the sound of typing on keyboards. His sight unconsciously slid to Ruan Cunyun's workstation, and he saw a well-behaved head, his elbows resting on the desk, typing code non-stop.
After a little thought, Qin Fanglu opened the food delivery app.
At exactly nine o'clock, two delivery men walked into the Ministry of Science and Technology carrying large and small bags, breaking the boring atmosphere of working overtime late at night.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound in shock, only to see the delivery man put down several large bags of milk tea and wipe the sweat off his head: "The 43 cups of milk tea ordered by Mr. Qin have arrived."
Everyone was stunned, and turned around in shock to look in the direction of Qin Fanglu.
Qin Fanglu's management style has always been straightforward and clear-cut. He gives more money for overtime, bonuses for good performance, and fines for being late or leaving early. This is a bit inhumane. After a few years of this, the old employees have gotten used to it.
However, recently Qin Fanglu has been taking everyone on trips and buying milk tea for them, and his humanity has made everyone a little flattered.
Qin Fanglu ignored everyone's shocked looks and said calmly, "Thank you for your hard work during this period. Tonight there is a red moon that only appears once in decades. It would be a pity if we missed it because of overtime. We can do the work tomorrow, but we won't have the chance to enjoy the moon tomorrow."
Ruan Cunyun's heart skipped a beat and he met Qin Fanglu's gaze inexplicably.
These words... seemed to be spoken specifically to him.
The boss's words were like a general amnesty. Many happy voices of "Thank you, Mr. Qin" were heard in the office area, and everyone ran over to pick out milk tea.
Ruan Cunyun was still a little dazed. He was the last one to come up with his wish, and he couldn't believe it.
There was a light tap on the table. Ruan Cunyun turned around and saw Qin Fanglu standing beside his table with a cup of milk tea.
Qin Fanglu put the milk tea on his table: "Three parts sugar, not greasy, and a stronger tea flavor. You like this, right? You gave me a cup last time."
Ruan Cunyun opened his mouth and was speechless.
He almost forgot that time when he came to the company late at night to help Sister Rain get documents, and he ran into Qin Fanglu working overtime. He heard that his boss's voice was hoarse, so he gave his milk tea to Qin Fanglu.
Qin Fanglu actually still remembered what he ordered for his cup of milk tea.
"I'll remember it by the way." Qin Fanglu said calmly, as if this was a matter of course for him.
Ruan Cunyun lowered his head and said "thank you", holding the warm cup with both hands.
The office area became noisy. Zhu Han called his friends and said that they should go to the terrace on the rooftop of the building, which was an excellent place to observe the red moon.
The moment he stepped out of the building, the autumn wind blew in his face. The people on the terrace, each holding a cup of milk tea, all looked up at the moon. Zhu Han was at a loss for words and shouted to the moon: "It's so red, so big!"
With his hair blown tousled and the milk tea in his hand giving off a constant warmth, Ruan Cunyun stared at the moon for a long time in silence, feeling that he was the luckiest kid in the world. Not only did he see Teacher Dan's new paintings, he also saw the moon spectacle that only occurs once in decades.
Ruan Cunyun heard an academic colleague pointing at the moon and saying, "The red moon is actually a total lunar eclipse. The sun, the earth, and the moon are in a straight line. The sunlight is blocked by the earth, but the red light is refracted by the atmosphere to the surface of the moon, forming a red..."
“The moon is beautiful.”
Qin Fanglu's voice suddenly fell beside him, occupying all of Ruan Cunyun's hearing.
Ruan Cunyun curled his fingertips holding the milk tea and moved his gaze away from the moon. Looking up, he could just see Qin Fanglu's clear jawline and Adam's apple.
The pale red moonlight smoothed out the gaps between people. For the first time, Ruan Cunyun didn't want to call him "Mr. Qin" and just responded with a faint "hmm".
It was very noisy all around, with many people holding up their phones to take pictures and leaning on the railings to chat and laugh. Only Ruan Cunyun and Qin Fanglu were silent, forming the low point of the noise, but it was not awkward at all.
Look at the moon, what do you need to say when looking at the moon
You have to think secretly in your heart so that the moon can hear it.
"I've finished taking the photo and clocking in. I'll post to my friends circle. I'm going to leave first!" a colleague next to me said loudly.
Several other people also responded: "Let's go, let's go down together. We have been watching the moon for five minutes. It's enough."
Many people said hello to Qin Fanglu and went downstairs, and a large amount of air around them was taken away.
Ruan Cunyun stood still and heard Qin Fanglu whisper, "I quite like watching it."
As the sweet milk tea slid into his stomach, Ruan Cunyun blurted out, "Me too."
Qin Fanglu looked at the moon and said in a gentle voice: "The moon can be stared at, but the sun can't be stared at because it's too bright. The moon is so interesting, like a time tunnel."
This was the first time Ruan Cunyun heard someone compare the moon to a time tunnel, and he couldn't help but laugh: "Why?"
"We look at it, ancient people also look at it, and even more ancient dinosaurs also look at it. The moon is filled with many eyes, and if we round it off, we are looking at them. Isn't this the most convenient time tunnel?" Qin Fanglu asked.
Ruan Cunyun looked at Qin Fanglu in surprise.
Qin Fanglu is a researcher working on artificial intelligence. He speaks precisely and rationally, but now it sounds very moving.
Qin Fanglu lowered his head and looked into Ruan Cunyun's eyes, his voice low and deep: "What's wrong?"
Ruan Cunyun looked away in panic: "Nothing, I think you are right."
Now even the word "you" is useless, and Ruan Cunyun doesn't care.
Under the moonlight, there are no bosses or subordinates, only one person and another, a skeleton and another skeleton, a heart and another heart.
The surroundings were quiet. Qin Fanglu felt that his skin had blown away with the wind, and all his thoughts had melted in the moonlight, leaving only an exposed heart.
This time he could clearly hear his own heartbeat, the breeze and the bright moon, and Ruan Cunyun standing beside him.
-
In the middle of the night, teacher BALLS, who rarely shares his daily life, posted a daily Weibo.
@BALLS: [The red moon tonight is very beautiful. ]
There is only one line of text, plain and simple, with no pictures.
Ruan Cunyun was struck by a revelation and commented: [Thanks to Teacher Dan, I can see the moon too, it's very beautiful, good night, Teacher Dan.]
Ruan Cunyun thought that what Qin Fanglu said was absolutely right. The moon was a time and space tunnel, which allowed him and Teacher Dan to see the same moon, or in other words, to look into each other's eyes.
As night fell, Ruan Cunyun felt that he was the luckiest kid in the world.
