"Well, that's it." After Ren Zhouyuan put An'an to sleep, he came to the hall. Leonid didn't even change his clothes, and sat on the sofa with a tired face. After listening to Ren Zhouyuan's words, he looked even more powerless.
"I understand." After wiping his face, Leonid smiled at Ren Zhouyuan and said, "Thank you for your hard work, are you still used to living these few days?"
Ren Zhouyuan observed his expression carefully, and felt quite embarrassed in his heart. This man was looking forward to meeting An An so much. If it wasn't for An An, they wouldn't be sitting here and talking face to face now, but these days he has not guided An An well. , which led to this situation tonight.
He nodded, and said again: "An'an is a child's temper, don't take it to heart, I will tell him."
Leonid waved his hand, but with an expression of indifference, "An'an is right, I should learn Chinese well, both of you and your son speak Chinese, and you can also speak Russian, so you should let me go for no reason. Right? Don't be nervous, I'm not angry," he looked at the time, "It's so late, An'an is asleep, you should go to rest too."
Having said so much, it would seem that he is hypocritical if he says more, but Ren Zhouyuan still feels sorry in his heart. He looked at the place where the conflict happened just now, and saw the suitcase still in the entrance, and suddenly thought of ,"Have you eaten yet?"
"Huh?" Leonid paused and shook his head, "I rushed back after getting off the plane, it's already past time."
For some reason, Ren Zhouyuan felt that the tone of his words was a bit pitiful. He thought for a while and said, "I'll give you some noodles next." Seeing that Leonid wanted to refuse, he quickly stood up and said, "Soon , you go wash your face and change your clothes, and you can eat when you are done." After finishing speaking, without waiting for Leonid to refute, he walked towards the kitchen in three steps at a time.
Leonid curled his lips into a smile, obediently took his suitcase back from the entrance and walked to the bedroom.
When Ren Zhouyuan made the noodles, he found that Leonid was already sitting at the dining table waiting. He walked over with the noodles, "I don't know what flavor you are used to, I didn't put spicy."
Ren Zhouyuan thought that Leonid was so big, so he made three noodles. The bowl at home was not big enough, so he simply took the pot and served it out. Leonid looked at the noodles served, his face twitched, and he silently picked up the fork and started.
Leonid ate noodles very fast, but his posture was very elegant. Ren Zhouyuan wanted to wait for him to finish eating before coming out to clean up, but seeing that he ate one-fifth of a mouthful, he had to sit aside and wait for him to finish.
Leonid's appearance is very three-dimensional. Looking at it from the side, the bridge of his nose is more straight, his cheekbones are prominent, and his eye sockets look deeper. His dark brown eyelashes are drooping now, covering his eyes that are different from An An's. Those usually sharp blue eyes looked at An An with fiery blue eyes.
This is the first time Ren Zhouyuan has seen Leonid wearing casual clothes. The last time he went to the maker base, he was wearing a simpler shirt, but now he is only wearing a white T-shirt with a A pair of ordinary sweatpants, so simple to wear, made Ren Zhouyuan feel that he was a different person.
A bear is still a bear, but from a big black bear to a polar bear, knowing that it still can't change the ferocity in the bottom, but changing to a white skin, it makes people feel much easier to get close to.
From that day on, Leonid’s first task was to learn Chinese. Whether he was on or off work, Ren Zhouyuan could see him reading “aoe” with a copy of “Easy Ways to Learn Chinese” and reading things that elementary school students learned without any expression. Well, that's no ordinary funny look.
The relationship between him and An An remained the same, one was careful to please, and the other avoided everywhere. Later, Ren Zhouyuan said about An An several times, and An An had to "put down his figure", no longer hiding behind Ren Zhouyuan, showing a small face to him See enough.
Leonid studied hard and worked hard, and it took him more than a week to finally be able to say a few simple sentences. Ren Zhouyuan saw his hard work and worked hard to serve as a bridge between the two. In the end, he was able to say something, half forced Finally, An An called him "Hello, Uncle".
Although it wasn't "Hello, Dad", An An was willing to talk to him, and Leonid was so happy that his heart was bubbling, and he nodded and said yes, it was those naked eyes that betrayed him.
Ren Zhouyuan couldn't bear to see it, so he went to talk to An'an again. The two negotiated for a long time to cede land and pay compensation, and finally reached a consensus.
He found Leonid in the hall, saw him struggling to read the sentences that were difficult for him, and felt amused and warm in his heart.
Leonid put down the book when he saw him, and gave him a wry smile in frustration, "I'm about to get dizzy from these little cubes."
Ren Zhouyuan laughed when he heard the words. When he passed by Leonid's study two days ago, he saw him using a ruler to trace characters stroke by stroke. He almost couldn't help laughing at that time, but he didn't reveal the truth. Bad habit, took his book and looked at it twice: "These textbooks are compiled according to the grammar, which is boring and impractical to learn." He returned the book to her, "I used to learn Russian When I was young, I just learned a grammar, and then read novels in forums, and looked up words I didn’t know while reading, so that I can learn and use them more quickly.”
Leonid seldom listened to him talk about himself, so he raised his eyebrows and asked a few more questions.
The two were chatting like ordinary friends, and the atmosphere was deliberately created to be relaxed, but it was not annoying. Ren Zhouyuan chatted with him for a while, organizing the language in his mind, and when Leonid once again lamented the difficulty of learning Chinese, he suggested: "I was thinking, if you find someone to practice with you, will you learn faster? .”
After hearing this, Leonid sat up straight, with a look of temptation in his eyes. Ren Zhouyuan knew at a glance that he was thinking wrong, and waved his hand and said, "I mean you and An An." This is what he and An An exchanged terms for a long time before persuading him. Various requirements.
Although it wasn't Ren Zhouyuan who came to practice with him, Leonid's eyes became brighter when he heard that it was An An, and he said, "Is it okay?"
Ren Zhouyuan nodded, and soon his face was a little embarrassed, "But you have to be able to bear An An."
Leonid didn't quite understand it at first, but he understood after a few seconds. He smiled helplessly and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Early the next morning, when Ren Zhouyuan received a call from Fan Wenfeng, he suddenly remembered that he had moved house for several days without telling him, and that he hadn't talked to Fan Wenfeng in detail after the "Sikong" matter was successfully resolved last time. Leonid left An An at home to take care of him, and asked Fan Wenfeng out for dinner to talk about things.
Thinking of the betrayed expression on An An's face before going out, Ren Zhouyuan couldn't help laughing.
When we arrived at the appointed place, Fan Wenfeng had been there for a while, and as soon as Ren Zhouyuan appeared, Fan Wenfeng complained: "Why didn't you tell me that you moved? Can I help you move? Where have you moved?"
Ren Zhouyuan thought for a while, and Gu Zuo said, "It's near the company. If you think it's not far away and there aren't many things, I won't bother you. Next time, I invite you to sit down." After he finished speaking, he took a sip of tea and said, "Go The matter of 'Sikong' was settled this time, and it's all right to invite you to dinner, so don't argue with me this time."
Fan Wenfeng shook his head and smiled, but he didn't fight him. Fan Wenfeng's media company later formally sued "Sikong". He thought that this kind of defamation case would be time-consuming and energy-consuming, but he didn't expect a few scholars who were suspected of being from the archaeological team to testify in the middle of the article, proving that the article written by Ren Zhouyuan They did not steal their achievements, and in the end the person named "Sikong" deleted the comments posted on the Internet, and the whole thing was like a farce, which ended in such a drastic way.
But the result is gratifying. The appearance of Ren Zhouyuan made the company's senior management pay more attention to the pen name "An Yi". It has also gone up a step.
Fan Wenfeng asked Ren Zhouyuan out for dinner this time. First, he found out that Ren Zhouyuan had moved. The two of them hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they made an appointment to meet up. Second, it was to discuss with him about recent work.
"Do you still remember that I told you about a draft? It was the one with one topic and two directions." Fan Wenfeng took out a document and handed it to Ren Zhouyuan. You rejected all the projects you were talking about, and you didn’t contact any other draft parties, but this one still didn’t give up. I kept it in mind, thinking that you don’t have many manuscripts on hand recently. , I’ll bring it here for you to see.”
Ren Zhouyuan raised his eyebrows when he heard the words. Of course he remembered this. At the beginning, he made fun of Fan Wenfeng for putting the topic in, and he also thought about how to write it. He flipped through the documents that Fan Wenfeng handed over, and the more he looked at them, the more he frowned. Although there was still no specific information about the drafter, the content inside gave Ren Zhouyuan an unspeakable sense of familiarity.
"This, you refused?" Ren Zhouyuan asked after reading it.
Fan Wenfeng shook his head, "The first time I refused, but the other party didn't give up, and continued to send several emails. I saw that he was so sincere, and I was too embarrassed to refuse, so I wanted to ask your opinion first."
Ren Zhouyuan was almost sure that the offer in his hand was an invitation from Wei Qi. When Fan Wenfeng showed it to him for the first time before, the other party only provided one topic, but perhaps because of Fan Wenfeng's refusal, the information this time was much more, except for omitting the background introduction of the drafter, the rest The content is described one by one.
Fan Wenfeng pointed to him, "I think there are many contents in it that are quite consistent with your current job. It shouldn't be too difficult for you to write, and the other party gave you a lot of money. I personally think it's quite worth it." .”
Ren Zhouyuan squeezed the hand holding the folder tightly, and after thinking for a long time, he raised his head and said to Fan Wenfeng: "Okay, take it." After finishing speaking, he added another sentence, "But don't tell the other party my real identity! The manuscript will be sent to you."
Fan Wenfeng felt that his request was a bit strange. The article published under the pseudonym "An Yi" had announced his real identity some time ago, but it was rare for Ren Zhouyuan to follow up the manuscript. Fan Wenfeng didn't think much about it, and happily clinked glasses with him. Celebrate the new residence and the implementation of the new manuscript.
Ren Zhouyuan put the materials away, said goodbye to Fan Wenfeng and returned home, looked at the materials in his hands and sighed, unexpectedly, he and Leonid were tied together again after going around in circles.
"I'm back..." He opened the door and entered the room, and before he could finish speaking, he heard An'an yelling in a rare high-pitched voice.
"It's an egg, not a squeezed egg! Why are you so stupid!" An An sat on the sofa and bit an egg, frowned slightly and stared at Leonid. I'm back!" After speaking, he pointed back and complained: "He is too stupid, I don't want to teach him Chinese!"
"An An," Ren Zhouyuan rubbed his head helplessly, "You can't say that about Uncle, An An won't meet you when you go to Vicky's class. Does the teacher also say that An An is a little idiot?"
An An curled her lips when she heard this, and muttered in a low voice, "An An is not as stupid as him!"
"You're back." Leonid walked up behind An An, glanced at the bag in his hand and asked, "Have you eaten yet?"
Ren Zhouyuan subconsciously hid the information behind his back, and belatedly felt that his actions were a bit silly, so he smiled awkwardly, "I've eaten it, how about you?"
Leonid raised his eyebrows and nodded. He didn't hold onto Ren Zhouyuan's actions just now, but turned around and pestered An An to teach him how to read.
Ren Zhouyuan looked at them, one big and one young, and felt that his worries seemed unfounded. Maybe he should talk to Leonid and try to tell him little by little about his past.
