On the way back, the car was silent, only the whirring of the air conditioner was heard in the whole car, and the atmosphere was completely different from when it came. Even An An noticed the embarrassment of the two adults, and opened his eyes to look at the two curiously. look.
Ren Zhouyuan took a sneak look at Leonid who was sitting in front, his cheeks were tense due to clenched teeth, even if he only showed a side face, he could tell that the other party was not in a good mood.
He sighed secretly, knowing that this time it was indeed his fault, and he didn't blame Leonid for being angry.
After Gu Jie finished that sentence, he saw several people fell silent for a while. The atmosphere was really not good, but he did not forget the purpose of his visit this time. It was a surprise to meet Ren Zhouyuan here. Their archaeological team Some people have been looking for Ren Zhouyuan for a long time. It can be said that after the pseudonym "An Yi" was launched, a group of people read his first published article and had the idea of finding Ren Zhouyuan back.
Gu Jie was also invited by Wei Qi this time. He was one of the scholars invited by Ron later. Although he is not as famous in the industry as the pseudonym "An Yi", he also has a high prestige. It was lively, but he didn't expect him to see Ren Zhouyuan.
As he said, after Ren Zhouyuan quit the archaeological team, the rest of the team began to reflect on their behavior. Although these scholars talk about other people's gossip like ordinary people, they still feel that they are academics. After that incident, they deeply felt that they made a mistake, but they didn't know when they wanted to make up for it. Where can I get Ren Zhouyuan back.
"There was a person named 'Sikong' on the Internet before, and he slandered you for stealing our achievements at that time. We also paid attention to this matter," Gu Jie said bravely, "That person...maybe it was someone from our team at that time. One of them, I wonder if you still remember Li Zhihao."
When Ren Zhouyuan heard this, he had no time to answer Leonid's question, so he looked at Gu Jie and signaled him to continue.
"After 'Sikong' came out, I called and asked everyone in the team one by one. Only Li Zhihao was vague. He didn't admit it or deny it. I suspected that it was him who made it up."
Of course Ren Zhouyuan remembered this person. When he returned to that room, it was this person who spoke the loudest. He still remembered the contempt in this person's eyes when he proposed to withdraw, and it was also because of his eyes at that time that he remembered this matter for so many years.
Gu Jie said: "Later, I noticed that a company issued a statement on behalf of 'An Yi', so I wondered if you had found this media company. I checked the address, and it happened to be in this city. I can get back your expectations." Gu Jie sighed a little when he said this, and he said: "I contacted Professor Lu, Dr. Yang, Dr. He and Director Wen, and jointly wrote a letter and sent it to this company. , probably they also talked to Li Zhihao about this in private, and soon I saw that 'Sikong' took that article down from the Internet."
It was only today that Ren Zhouyuan heard the whole story from Gu Jie. He couldn't tell what mood he was in at the moment. The people who thought they had always held grudges found that they helped you silently behind the scenes. Yes, but if he can forget the harm they caused to himself and An An in the past, he is not a saint, nor can he do it easily.
At Gu Jie's request, Ren Zhouyuan exchanged contact information with him in the end, and when he left, Ren Zhouyuan suddenly felt a chill down his spine. He turned around slowly, and sure enough, he saw Leonid looking at him seriously.
Ren Zhouyuan didn't know how to explain, so he didn't say anything, but Leonid kept waiting for him to explain to himself, the two of them remained silent for a while, until they drove back home, they didn't say a word talk.
After Leonid entered the door, he glanced at Ren Zhouyuan, the look in his eyes made Ren Zhouyuan's scalp tingle, Ren Zhouyuan was about to say something to ease the atmosphere, when Leonid turned around and walked towards the study, with a small but loud "bang" The sound of closing the door separated the two of them.
Ren Zhouyuan found it a little funny for no reason, this person actually got angry? He shook his head with a helpless smile, and took An An back to his room to change his clothes.
While wiping his face, An An asked Ren Zhouyuan what happened to the big guy outside with his eyes. Ren Zhouyuan pretended not to see him, and poked his forehead with his index finger, telling him to go to sleep obediently.
But An An was curious all the way, and now she didn't feel sleepy at all, staring at Ren Zhouyuan with wide eyes. Ren Zhouyuan felt that the freshmen and juniors were here to make trouble today, so he changed his clothes and lay next to An An, patting his back to coax him to sleep and asking him what he wanted to know.
The little ghost from An'an pointed to the outside, made another long-faced grimace, and then spread his hands.
Ren Zhouyuan laughed, thought for a while, and replied in a low voice: "Dad made uncle angry, and uncle is waiting for Dad to apologize to him."
An An bared her teeth and made a surprised expression, imitating Ren Zhouyuan and lowering her voice, "What did Dad do?"
"Hmm..." Ren Zhouyuan said, "Dad has a secret that he didn't tell Uncle, probably Uncle thinks Dad lied to him."
An An didn't understand, but she also made an expression of enlightenment in conjunction with it. He held Ren Zhouyuan's face in his small hands, and said with a serious expression: "Dad said that lying to others is bad, so Dad, you have to apologize to uncle."
Ren Zhouyuan stood in front of the study door, thinking about what An An said just now, sighed, knocked on the door, and bent down while opening the door to enter: "I'm sorry!"
Leonid was taken aback by his actions for a moment, and his tense face suddenly eased a lot. Seeing that Ren Zhouyuan had been standing by the door with his head bowed, he couldn't even put up his airs, so he let out a soft snort Let him come in and sit down.
Ren Zhouyuan carefully observed his expression, seeing that he was not as angry as when he came back, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. But as soon as he relaxed, Leonid noticed it. When the two met their eyes, Ren Zhouyuan scratched his head in embarrassment, and responded with a rare smile.
Ren Zhouyuan is well versed in the principle of being frank and lenient, and after organizing his language, he automatically and consciously explained the matter clearly, revealing his "easy" identity and the matter of the draft, and only concealed the matter of the archaeological team back then. Go do not say.
"That's probably how it happened," Ren Zhouyuan rubbed his nose, "But I only found out about it shortly after I heard what you said. Earlier, Fan Wenfeng, oh, that's my friend. He told me briefly. About the drafting, but at that time I didn't know who the drafting party was, so... "
Ren Zhouyuan couldn't continue talking, and Leonid obviously thought of this. If he had let Ren Zhouyuan know from the very beginning that it was Vicki who was requesting the draft, he might have escaped faster given his personality. They would never even think about asking this "An Yi" to write for them.
Leonid thought of the person he saw at the appreciation meeting today, as well as the "good friend" who appeared many times in Ren Zhouyuan's words, and asked a little uncomfortably, "How many people know your identity?"
Ren Zhouyuan laughed when he heard his serious tone, and he waved his hands, "This pseudonym is not a big deal. In this industry, as long as you specialize in a certain field and make some new discoveries, and put forward a relatively new point of view, other people are doing it. When I quoted your name a lot during the research, maybe you suddenly became famous." He thought for a while, "In the past, only Fan Wenfeng knew that I was 'An Yi' himself, but from what Gu Jie said today, people who have worked with me before probably also Got it, and the company I'm affiliated with Fan Wenfeng, you're the only one left."
Leonid and Ren Zhouyuan focused on different points. Ren Zhouyuan thought that Leonid was angry because he kept it from him, so that they wasted so much time.
But in fact Leonid was jealous.
In his heart, he, Ren Zhouyuan and An An are family members. He couldn't accept that as a family member, he knew the least, while Fan Wenfeng, who always appeared in the conversation, could always grasp Ren Zhouyuan's first-hand information.
Leonid looked at the smiling man in front of him, and sighed helplessly, probably not speaking clearly, this man would never be able to change his mind for the rest of his life.
Leonid said, "I want you to have that awareness."
"Huh?" Ren Zhouyuan was puzzled.
"We are a family." Leonid said: "I don't know what you think of me, but from the moment you stepped into this house, we are one, whether it is you or An An, this life I won't let go."
Ren Zhouyuan was shocked. He didn't expect Leonid to say this, but his expression remained unchanged and he listened to him quietly.
"So I hope you can slowly change your thinking and regard me as a family member, An An's father, and your other half. Be honest with family members. This is the most basic thing. It doesn't mean that you can't have your little one. It's a secret, but I hope that you will be the first one to think of me if you have any problems, if there is anything you can't solve, you can rely on me, too."
Ren Zhouyuan felt that he seemed to understand what Leonid said, but he was not very clear. He lowered his head and closed his eyes, silent for a while, and when he opened his eyes again, the gloom hidden in his eyes faded a lot.
"About four years ago, I took An'an to join an archaeological team..."
Ren Zhouyuan slowly awakened the memory hidden deep in his heart. He thought it would be difficult to say some words, but once he started, he unexpectedly found that it was not as difficult as he imagined.
For a long time, only Ren Zhouyuan's voice was left in the study. After a long time, when his last voice fell, the room fell into complete silence.
Ren Zhouyuan looked down at a certain point on the table, his mind was almost blank. He didn't know whether these words were right or not, but under the instigation of Leonid just now, he emptied the experience that was in his heart as soon as his brain became hot.
He closed his eyes and pursed his lips, not daring to look into Leonid's eyes. For a moment, he even felt that he was naked and naked, but when his mind was in a mess and he felt helpless, there was a warm breath behind him Surrounded him, and when he reacted, he realized that he was embraced in Leonid's arms.
