Lin Yao had encountered many unlucky things in his life, such as throwing a note on the invigilator's face when cheating, breaking his belt when running, and falling his chewing gum on the face of the girl opposite him when he yelled on the pirate ship, and falling into the house when he leaned on the window to eavesdrop on Lin Zong's phone call with his girlfriend...
But there has never been a time when he was so stiff and didn't know what to say as he was now.
He actually sent the painting to the marketing department’s public mailbox
He actually sent the painting of Guan Ze, him and his classmate Lu Xiaoteng to the marketing department’s public email
"This is impossible! How could I do such a thing?" Lin Yao felt a little dizzy and quickly supported himself against the wall. "Are you kidding me? I am only as brave as two sesame seeds. I can't stand being scared!"
"Who has the time to call you just to tease you during work hours?" Guan Ze sighed.
"Why are you calling me if you don't delete it right away!" Lin Yao lowered his voice. He didn't even have the courage to look towards the marketing office.
"I think others saw it before me," Guan Ze smiled, "They all said it was cute. Do you want to come over and explain your idea to everyone?"
"What a bullshit creativity! Can't you see what I drew?" Lin Yao felt himself sweating. Although his colleagues were all young people and might not have any big reactions to these things, this inexplicable behavior of sending a drawing to the post office seemed like drinking too much milk in the morning without putting it in the refrigerator.
"Isn't the painting of your father, your brother and you?" Guan Ze said slowly.
"Ah?" Lin Yao was stunned for a long time before he reacted. Damn! Yes! This is obviously his father, brother and him! Although his father has never taken him and Lin Zong to the amusement park, this explanation is really reliable!
He nodded excitedly at the wall: "Master, you really have an idea!"
Lin Yao held the cup and walked towards the marketing department. Although it was a bit strange for a father to send his two sons' paintings to the marketing department, he still decided to show his face in order not to appear to be insecure and guilty.
It was almost time for lunch, and many people in the marketing department were not working. Guan Ze was not in his office either, but was standing by the table chatting with a few colleagues.
"Hey Lin Yao, you're just in time," a little girl smiled when she saw him come in. This little girl's name was Zhang Ni, and the toy designer was her client. "What's the meaning of that painting just now?"
"That painting, that painting is..." Lin Yao scratched his head, feeling a little guilty, "That's my dad taking my brother and me to the amusement park."
"Really? Dad takes his kids to the amusement park?" Zhang Ni thought for a moment, "Is this the idea for our toy ad? This is a good starting point."
"Ah?" Lin Yao glanced at Guan Ze and found that he was lowering his head and pretending to read a newspaper, but he couldn't hide the smile on his face.
"Really?" someone nearby said, "Isn't that toy something little boys like to play with? It's a good idea for a dad to play with his son. To be honest, many mothers may not buy this toy for their children. It's a good idea to capture the father's psychology."
"Then I told the client?" Zhang Ni looked at Lin Yao, "Why didn't you just send it to my email address instead of sending it by public mail?"
"I ordered the wrong thing..." Lin Yao took a sip of water. He was telling the truth. Although he hadn't figured out how he ordered the wrong thing, as long as it didn't arouse suspicion, it was fine.
But, the idea was changed just like that? So the design he had spent several days working on was wasted? Lin Yao was stunned for a long time because his previous idea was inexplicably changed in just a few words. Damn it! Was all the work he had done in vain
Where the hell can I go to seek justice
"This is what I thought of today," Lin Yao said helplessly, making a final effort for his previous work. "I have other ideas before. How about asking the client to come over next week to make a selection?"
"That's fine," Zhang Ni nodded, and displayed the painting in full screen, looking at it with a smile, "Hey, I like this very much."
"Take it and play with it," Lin Yao said dejectedly, and glanced at Guan Ze who was laughing secretly. Suddenly he found that Guan Ze was wearing glasses, "Mr. Guan, are you nearsighted?"
"No, they're not my glasses," Guan Ze pushed his glasses and looked at him seriously, "They say the father you drew looks like me, so I wear glasses to distinguish myself."
"You..." Lin Yao really wanted to pour a cup of coffee on Guan Ze's face. This matter finally had a hope of being resolved, but he actually brought it up again!
"They do look alike," another little girl formed a square with her fingers and pointed it at Guan Ze, "Boss Guan, why don't we organize our department to go to the amusement park tomorrow?"
"That's right, Lin Yao is right. I haven't been to an amusement park in a long time," someone immediately agreed, "Lin Yao is specially invited to participate."
When Lin Yao heard this, he almost blurted out "Shut up right there!" He took a sip of coffee in grief and indignation and swallowed the two words back into his stomach.
It's fine that the idea was changed for no apparent reason, but they even changed the trip to the amusement park to a group one? And a special invitation? So if there was no special invitation, my qualification to go would be cancelled? What the hell is this!
He quickly turned his gaze to Guan Ze. If he dared to say that the marketing department would go to the amusement park together tomorrow, he would accidentally pour this cup of coffee into the collar of the marketing director!
Guan Ze smiled at him, stretched, turned around and walked towards his office: "Stop bothering me, I want to take my son to the zoo tomorrow."
"Ah..." Several little girls drew out their voices in disappointment.
Lin Yao breathed a sigh of relief, drank the coffee in one gulp, and walked out of the marketing department in a proud and confident manner.
Just as he sat down at his seat and hadn't yet calmed down from the previous chaos, the internal phone rang. Lin Yao picked up the phone: "Hello, Design Department."
"Are you okay?" Guan Ze's voice came from the phone.
Lin Yao leaned over the table, frowned, and complained into the phone: "Your suggestion is really good. With just one sentence, I have wasted a week's work."
"What should we do? How about you tell Zhang Ni that the painting was sent to me?" Guan Ze was happy, "I really don't mind."
"Shut up," Lin Yao rubbed his nose, "I really don't know what's going on. My mind is in a mess right now. I've never done anything so stupid."
"Really? I thought you were used to it. I'm almost used to it." Guan Ze's tone was relaxed, and it sounded like he didn't take it seriously at all.
"Can you please stop talking about this! This is a workaround, but what if it's not?" Lin Yao took out a piece of paper and wiped his face a few times, "I'm still sweating all over!"
"Don't be afraid of anything," Guan Ze knocked on the receiver, "I'm here to help you get through anything."
Guan Ze's casual words instantly made Lin Yao's whole body go limp, his face pressed against the table. He laughed into the phone for a long time: "I like to hear that."
"Don't be so confused in the future. Next time you write a love letter and send it to Mr. Qiu's email address, I really don't know how to help you."
"Don't curse me! I won't write you a love letter!" Lin Yao lowered his voice and said viciously, so vicious that even his nose wrinkled, "Next time when you send me flowers, just don't send them to the wrong office!"
"I never do such things," Guan Ze was still laughing, "Will you come with me to pick up Lu Teng tomorrow, or should I bring him to pick you up?"
"I'll go with you," Lin Yao said without hesitation. Of course, it would be better for them to go together to pick up little friend Lu. "How can I let the little kid come to pick me up?"
"Okay then, don't eat your mom's loving breakfast in the morning. I'll take you two to eat."
"Yeah." Lin Yao nodded. Guan Ze's words sounded like he really took his two sons out, but Lin Yao still felt comfortable listening to them.
My mother’s loving breakfast, especially the loving breakfast on weekends, starts at 6:30 and needs to be applied for one day in advance.
In fact, it was still in time for Lin Yao to talk about it when he got up in the morning. He didn't expect that he would be so excited about going to an amusement park that he couldn't sleep well all night and woke up before six o'clock.
He played with all the things in the amusement park in his dream. He was not woken up in the morning by the urge to pee, nor was he woken up by the clapping of the aunties who were exercising early in the morning. He felt that he was woken up by being tired.
He rolled over happily on the bed for a while, grabbed his phone and sent a message to Guan Ze: What time will you arrive, hero
Eight o'clock.
Lin Yao rolled over and jumped off the bed, ran into the bathroom, turned on the water and poured it over his head.
Then he grabbed the shampoo bottle and held it in front of him, then slapped it against the wall: "We ordinary people! We are so happy today!"
After shouting two lines, he forgot the lyrics, so he used "Hum hum ha ha" to fill in the song.
When he jumped down the stairs, he saw his mother making juice. He ran over, hugged her shoulders and kissed her on the cheek: "Mom, you look so beautiful today."
"Really? How does it compare to the little morning glory in our backyard?" Mom rubbed his head happily.
"What's a little trumpet flower? Compared to you, they're all little wrinkled flowers!" Lin Yao looked at the fruits next to his mother, and didn't see anything strange with the naked eye, so he poured a glass and drank it.
"How is it? My new formula juice, for dealing with autumn dryness." Mom looked at him expectantly.
"You..." Lin Yao had to hold his breath after taking a sip. After finishing the glass without taking a breath, he wiped his mouth and leaned on the edge of the table helplessly, "Why put bitter melon in the juice?"
"Bitter melon clears away heat! It's so easy to get irritated in these weathers," my mother took out a large sealed cup and poured bitter melon and orange juice into it. "Are you going out to play with your colleagues? Bring some with you so they can have a taste."
Lin Yao was about to say no, as only our family members could drink this stuff, but he immediately remembered Guan Ze's expression after he drank his mother's special drink that day. He grabbed the cup and said, "Well, I think it's okay. I'll bring it to my colleague to drink. He will definitely be surprised."
Guan Ze's phone rang at eight o'clock on time: "I'm at the gate of your community."
"Coming." Lin Yao grabbed the cup and ran out the door. On his way out, he hit his shoulder on the door frame. The pain was so severe that he ran almost to the gate of the community with a grin on his face.
Guan Ze's car was parked next to the gate. He was leaning against the front of the car, holding his cell phone and making a call.
Lin Yao rubbed his shoulders and slowed down his pace.
The morning sun was shining brightly, and Guan Ze was bathed in the light golden sunlight. His profile was surrounded by a dazzling halo, and his legs felt a little weak.
He stopped a few meters away from Guan Ze, supported his knees with his hands, and looked quietly at Guan Ze who was answering the phone.
I like this feeling. At this time of the weekend, there are very few people outside the community. Lin Yao ignored the security guard on duty behind him. At this moment, at this time, in this space, there are only him and Guan Ze.
It belonged to just the two of them, and this state of tranquility was completely different from the feeling they had when they were alone in the car.
Guan Ze called Aunt Lu and told her that he would be at the welfare home in about half an hour. After hanging up the phone, he turned around and saw Lin Yao, who was bending over with his knees supported and staring at him.
"What's wrong?" Guan Ze folded his arms and looked at him with interest. This child often did things that were very interesting.
"Watch for a while." Lin Yao was still propped up on his knees, smiling at him foolishly.
"What are you looking at?" Guan Ze curled the corners of his mouth and smiled.
"You can't understand how I feel now, hero." Lin Yao stood up straight, stretched his arms, and slowly walked to his side.
"How do you feel now?" Guan Ze squinted his eyes towards the sun. Silly kids like Lin Yao sometimes have such meticulous thoughts that they don't seem like idiots. "Do you feel like there are only two of us in the world?"
Lin Yao suddenly raised his head and stared into his eyes, his voice a little excited: "Yes! That's right! Do you feel the same way?"
"No, I didn't have time to experience it," Guan Ze smiled, opened the car door and pushed him into the car, "I told you I know what you are thinking."
"Boring," Lin Yao was a little disappointed, and handed the cup in his hand to Guan Ze, "Drink something, it's good for your health."
"Did your mother make this?" Guan Ze opened the lid of the cup and took a smell. A fresh fragrance wafted out. It smelled very good and there was no strange smell.
"Drink it quickly, why are you talking so much nonsense! I brought it to you with kindness." Lin Yao held up his chin and looked at him with a smile.
Guan Ze smiled and took a sip. Before he could swallow it, his expression became a little dazed. He suppressed the urge to spit out this magical drink: "Bitter melon and... orange?"
"There are also papaya and passion fruit. This is pretty good. If it weren't for the bitter melon, it would be quite delicious. She used to add green onions and sesame seeds to it." Lin Yao pointed to the cup. "Drink it. My mother specially gave it to you."
"You did this on purpose?" Guan Ze frowned and tilted his head back to drink all the juice in the glass. The taste was so overwhelming that he couldn't catch his breath for a while.
"Well, I just want to see your expression at this moment." Lin Yao took the cup and covered it, then leaned against the car window and looked at Guan Ze, "This little expression is really exciting."
"What's that expression?" Guan Ze took a piece of chocolate and put it in his mouth, still frowning.
Lin Yao didn't say anything as he frowned and looked confused. He couldn't say anything. He just liked seeing Guan Ze like this. He always felt that if he could pin him down on the bed, he would definitely be like this, very sexy and exciting.
"What are you laughing at?" Guan Ze suddenly came over, leaning his elbows on the car window, and stood face to face with him.
"I..." Lin Yao stared at Guan Ze's face that suddenly appeared in front of him, his heart beating out of control, "Did I smile?"
"Well," Guan Ze took out his phone and took a picture of his, then turned the screen towards him, "see for yourself."
Lin Yao's attention was not on the screen at all. Even if he smiled, he didn't want to look at it. He had been looking at this face for more than 20 years and it was always like this. The focus was on Guan Ze's face right in front of him.
He took Guan Ze's phone and threw it on the back seat of the car: "I laughed when I thought about Coke."
"Then just enjoy yourself." Guan Ze smiled, patted the car door and prepared to walk around the front of the car to get in.
Lin Yao reached out of the car window and grabbed Guan Ze's arm, pulling him into the car with all his might, just like a prisoner who had finally caught someone to redress his grievances: "Come here."
Guan Ze was dragged by him until he was pressed against the car door, so he had no choice but to stick his head into the car: "Do you want me to crawl in from here?"
Lin Yao didn't answer, nor did he let go. He quickly looked towards the gate of the community. The security guard was not outside, and there was no one passing by.
The time is now!
Lin Yao grabbed Guan Ze by the collar, pinched Guan Ze's chin with one hand, and moved over to kiss Guan Ze on the mouth at the speed of a wild horse.
Guan Ze seemed to be startled and stepped back subconsciously. Lin Yao quickly grabbed his collar and held on to him, quickly inserting his tongue into Guan Ze's mouth.
