2D Otaku with Social Anxiety Also Wants to Date!

Chapter 8: Eight dimensions

Views:

The weekend passed too quickly, and Ruan Cunyun's irritability reached its peak on Sunday night. He didn't want to face the fact that he would have to go to work the next day.

But time will not be kind to social animals. When Ruan Cunyun was woken up by the alarm clock on Monday morning, he just wanted to fall in love with his pillow and quilt forever.

Annoying, but what’s the use? I still have to go to class.

After a week of his first experience as a social worker, Ruan Cunyun has discovered that what he hates is not actually the job itself, but the social interactions with colleagues he is forced to have at work.

Compared to the lively lunch and chatting during breaks, Ruan Cunyun prefers compact working hours, where he can write code quietly by himself.

At least when he was working, no one asked him to complain about the TV series, and no one invited him to go bowling.

Why is there no work in the world that can be completed by one person

The hands point to twelve o'clock, and the head-shaking collective lunch time has arrived again.

Ruan Cunyun locked the computer screen, mobilized all the active cells in his body, and tried to chat with his colleagues.

After finally returning from dinner, Ruan Cunyun sat back at his desk, as if he had returned to a sanctuary.

Ruan Cunyun: "Hello, welcome to heaven."

He dropped a few balls and gradually found his touch.

There seems to be a comic update on Monday noon!

Ruan Cunyun happily took out his mobile phone and prepared to read the update during his lunch break.

Qin Fanglu had just finished the morning's talks, gently pinched his eyebrows, and sat in the car to rest.

Ruan Cunyun felt regretful. Why did he follow Xu Feifei's advice in the first place? Silly saying that I like sports!

"Shopping mall type cash charging" and "bar type cash charging" are obviously better! At least you don’t have to sweat like crazy in the sweltering heat!

Ruan Cunyun held on to play for three days. From the beginning he had the strength to smile, but in the end he couldn't even lift his hands.

Zhu Han praised him: "I knew you were indeed a master of sports!"

Zhu Han shook the badminton racket in his hand, and the other two male colleagues also held it.

Ruan Cunyun felt that he had heard some fantasy.

Zhu Han stood not far away and asked: "Do you want to play badminton!"

Amid the expectations of the three, Ruan Cunyun smiled politely: "I'm not very good at badminton..."

The male colleague said enthusiastically: "It's okay. I'll teach you. I'll teach you and you'll know how to do it. It's very simple."

I accidentally saw four employees holding badminton rackets and walking towards the badminton court talking and laughing.

Qin Fanglu leaned lazily in the car in the distance and watched the employees for a while waving their rackets in the sun.

The last male colleague was a little shy: "The main reason is that the colleague we often fought with is sick, and other people in the office are not here, so..."

Zhu Han also said: "You bowled very well last time. With such good motor nerves, you can learn it quickly."

He slumped on the sofa and called Xu Feifei. He didn't even bother to hold the phone and just put it on the coffee table with it open.

You are so fair and you like to exercise. Can you get a tan

You can't tell it at ordinary times, but now when Ruan Cunyun was walking with several tall men, Qin Fanglu discovered more intuitively that the child was not tall and his limbs were very thin, like a moso bamboo forest so tender that it could pinch water. A piece of jade bamboo shoot.

He thought: The sun is so bright and playing is so tiring, I just want to lie down now!

Maybe Ruan Cunyun can go play basketball. Qin Fanglu thought.

On the night of the third day, Ruan Cunyun collapsed on the sofa completely motionless after returning home, as if his whole body was falling apart.

Ruan Cunyun looked around, and it seemed that he was indeed the only one. Everyone else had gone to nowhere after eating.

Ruan Cunyun smiled on his face, but felt confused in his heart.

"We wanted to play doubles, but now we're short of three!"

As usual, Xu Feifei's side was full of melee: "Ah, mate pig, why are you giving away your life! The enemy can take you with only a bloody skin - Damn it, I'm dead!!"

He thought: It is indeed a cash recharge. It is so exciting. Now I just want to paralyze.

-

Facts have proved that lying is wrong, and Ruan Cunyun was completely defeated by the "sporty and current" persona.

Ruan Cunyun was as angry as a gossamer: "I'm going to die..."

"Xiao Ruan!"

Ruan Cunyun only played with his parents when he was a child, and his hands had already been born.

Qin Fanglu remembered that when he first met this newcomer in the office, his height was just up to his chin and his figure was smaller than his own.

A voice frightened Ruan Cunyun and turned his phone upside down on the table.

Xu Feifei took a breath: "Hello, how can I help you?"

Ruan Cunyun suddenly thought of his sports youth persona, wow, he almost collapsed!

So he smiled, took the badminton racket from Zhu Han, and said easily: "I really don't play well, seniors should be merciful."

The boy's skin is very white and shines in the sun. It is in sharp contrast with the three wheat-colored men around him and is very conspicuous.

He thought it would be enough to be dragged to play golf for one afternoon, but unexpectedly, their former playing partner took a week's sick leave.

The newcomer Ruan Cunyun, who wrote very good minutes of the meeting, was among them.

彳庍口巴.

What the hell? Playing badminton at noon

The other three smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "You are so humble, Xiao Ruan!"

Every day at noon, when Ruan Cunyun came back from eating outside, he would see three enthusiastic smiling faces, and the devil whispered: "Xiao Ruan, do you want to play ball?"

Four people walked to the court, waved their rackets and started playing.

These three days are enough to pay for two lifetimes of exercise.

Ruan Cunyun gritted his teeth: "I really want to destroy my character now!"

After hearing about Ruan Cunyun's tragic experience of playing badminton for three days in a row and now suffering from hemiplegia, Xu Feifei laughed so much that he rolled from his chair to the floor.

"What do you mean by shooting yourself in the foot, digging a hole and burying it yourself, being stabbed in the back by myself... Hahahahaha!"

Xu Feifei comforted him with his remaining sympathy: "Think about it from another perspective, you have gained three days of healthy life. Isn't that good?" Ruan Cunyun said word by word: "No, okay. I just want to die working quietly. "Zhai, is this difficult?"

In fact, the most tiring part of playing ball is not the arms and legs, but the heart.

Pretending to be another person, another personality is just too tiring. If he can act for one day in something that doesn't belong to him at all, will he act it every day in the future

Ruan Cunyun was really tired both physically and mentally. He was suffering from the sequelae of excessive social interaction. He almost wanted to hide from people when he saw him.

Xu Feifei said sincerely: "Then you should rest for a few days and tell them directly that the intensity of exercise is too high and you are tired. Normal people will understand!"

"Okay." Ruan Cunyun closed his eyes and nodded, "I don't even want to have lunch with my colleagues."

Xu Feifei held her chin: "You can order takeout, or you can bring your own food. Many people in our company bring lunch, as long as your company has a break room."

Ruan Cunyun thought about it. If he ordered takeout, his colleagues might wonder why he wanted to eat alone. Would they think he was lonely

But it is more reasonable to bring a bento to eat by yourself, after all, there is only one bento.

Before hanging up the phone, Xu Feifei was more serious than ever before: "Don't be too tired. How can the relationship with your colleagues be so important? The quality of your work is OK. If they disturb your rhythm too much, just ignore them and ignore them." ,snort!"

Ruan Cunyun was amused by the last "hum": "To put it bluntly, it was because I set up a fake persona for cashing in at the beginning, thinking that I could get away with it, but my colleagues turned out to be real. Now I am riding a tiger, and it's the same. It's my own fault. I will adjust slowly and it will be fine after a while. "

Xu Feifei was very nervous, and as expected, the last sentence attracted all his attention: "I told you that you are my son!"

The next morning, Ruan Cunyun got up half an hour early and made himself a simple lunch.

Unlike the dead guy in the comics who only knows how to cook instant noodles, Ruan Cunyun has no problem cooking simple home-cooked meals.

Stir-fried eggs with tomatoes, stir-fried shrimps with beans and rice, and stir-fried cabbage filled the lunch box steaming hot with bright red, yellow, and green colors. Although it was simple, it looked delicious.

Ruan Cunyun put the lunch box in the refrigerator as soon as he arrived at the company. Looking at the Strawberry Bear lunch box he bought urgently at the convenience store last night, he felt better.

Xu Feifei is right, he must maintain his own rhythm.

At lunch time, Xiaoberry came and asked Ruan Cunyun to go out to eat together. Ruan Cunyun smiled apologetically: "Sorry, sister Xiaoberry, I brought my own food, so I won't go out to eat."

Ruan Cunyun was actually a little panicked. Would Xiaobei think he was out of place? Will Xiaoberry be estranged from him from now on

Unexpectedly, Xiaobei's eyes jumped out: "Wow, did you cook it yourself? Or did your girlfriend cook it? How happy! I also want to bring my own food, which is cost-effective and healthy, but my boyfriend can't cook and I’m very busy... Hey, I’ll have to bring lunch when I’ve mastered my cooking skills!”

They naturally told Ruan Cunyun that they would meet in the afternoon and walked out of the office laughing.

Ruan Cunyun sat quietly for a while and found that this matter seemed much simpler than he thought.

The office gradually became empty. Ruan Cunyun felt relaxed and his steps became light, as if he were at home.

He took out the prepared lunch from the refrigerator, put it in the microwave for five minutes, and then took it out into a delicious home-cooked lunch box.

Everything is ready, all we need is a nice quiet place!

Ruan Cunyun wandered around the company holding lunch boxes and cutlery.

There is an open sofa near the door, where many people usually drink coffee, eat salads, chat, etc. It is considered a leisure area.

Now there were a few people sitting in twos and threes in the leisure area. Ruan Cunyun hesitated for a moment, but finally did not walk over.

First, because it is close to the gate, and people coming and going will pass by. Sitting here to eat has an inexplicable feeling of being on display. Second, because Ruan Cunyun wants to read comics. There are many people here and it is easy to see the screen.

Ruan Cunyun then realized that he didn't seem to have even visited the company, so he carried his lunch box and walked deeper into the floor alone, thinking that he was exploring the map, which was quite leisurely.

Next to the spacious and bright office area is a conference room, and next to it is a conference hall connecting two floors. At the end, there is a less conspicuous corridor.

Ruan Cunyun walked inside and saw a lounge with an open door beside the corridor.

It is covered with warm-colored thick blankets, a set of fabric sofas, and a wooden high-top table. The atmosphere is comfortable and warm.

The most important thing is that there is no one inside! Empty, quiet and safe, suitable for a lonely person like him.

Ruan Cunyun's eyes lit up, he sat on the sofa and opened the lunch box.

Well, the sofa is so soft!

Watching a movie while eating is simply one of the most enjoyable things in the world. Ruan Cunyun's anxious mood for several days was finally calmed down at this moment.

Probably because the lounge is far away from the office area and located in a remote location, no one comes here.

But this is exactly what Ruan Cunyun wants. He didn't expect that there is such a lounge in the company that suits him. It's so cool!

Sure enough, being alone is the best!

After Ruan Cunyun finished eating, he cleaned up his lunch box and leaned on the sofa to play with his mobile phone for a while.

Perhaps because he had exercised too much recently and consumed too much energy, Ruan Cunyun unconsciously fell asleep with his head tilted.

The brightness of the mobile phone screen slowly dimmed, and the chat page between Ruan Cunyun and Xu Feifei was displayed on it—

Save: [I didn’t expect there to be such a comfortable lounge in our company, I’m so excited! [picture]]

Fei Changshuai: [woc, it looks so spacious and cool, I admire it! ! [Puppy growling]]

Save: [Hey hey]

The phone screen turned completely black and automatically locked.

-

Qin Fanglu loosened his tie and walked inside with a familiarity.

The shareholders are having a hard time dealing with it, and he needs a break now.

As soon as he reached the door of the lounge, he paused.

A small figure was curled up on the edge of the sofa, with its slender calves hanging steadily on the ground, as if it was trying to maintain an upright sitting posture, but half of its body was already limp and leaning on the armrest of the sofa.

He was still holding a mobile phone in his arms, precariously.

Qin Fanglu paused for five seconds, silently digesting the scene in front of him.

He gently pulled back the open lounge door and checked the small sign on the door again.

[Chief Technology Officer Lounge, no entry unless required]
