"May I ask, when were the photos taken?" Ou Shaowen's cheeks flushed slightly, but his tone was as direct as ever.
Without waiting for the staff to answer, he immediately asked: "Did you take any kissing photos?"
The staff member's smile was a little stiff, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. He nodded frequently, "Yes! There are many, many kissing photos." He emphasized, "A lot."
Ou Shaowen turned around and looked at Ou Renjin with burning eyes.
"Want it?" Ou Renjin smiled and raised his eyebrows at him, then glanced at the staff beside him. His face with a stiff smile was particularly interesting.
"think."
"Then go pick it."
Ou Shaowen happily gave him a bear hug, turned around and followed the staff to the computer, bent his waist and carefully selected more than twenty photos. Although in Ou Renjin's opinion, they all maintained almost the same posture and composition, and the lighting effects were not very satisfactory, but he was not prepared to show his taste and pickyness at this time. After all, Ou Shaowen, who was like a greedy little hamster and was reluctant to give up any photo, was really silly and cute.
"I want to buy a wallet." Although the photos were not given for free, Ou Shaowen still felt very satisfied. He followed Ou Renjin without looking up, flipping through the dozens of photos one by one.
"Specially used to store photos?" Ou Renjin gave him a funny look.
“How did you know this again?” Ou Shaowen was no longer surprised. He sighed casually and pulled his arm excitedly. “I watched a movie before. Every time the male protagonist missed his daughter, he would look through his wallet to see their photos. Every time this kind of plot came up, I felt that the picture became particularly beautiful and moving.”
"Daughter?" There was a hint of teasing in Ou Renjin's eyes that Ou Shaowen could not understand.
"Yeah." He nodded.
Forget it, Ou Renjin was not going to care about him taking advantage of him. "One bill would be enough in the wallet, why do you need so many?"
"I can also put it in a book as a bookmark, or put it in a photo frame and place it on the bedside. It can be used in many places."
Ou Renjin glanced at the photos with terrible color and composition again, and he didn't dare to imagine that these photos could be seen all over the room. However, after all, it was Ou Shaowen's own room, so he could do whatever he wanted.
After lunch, they went to feed the giraffes together and saw all the lions and tigers in the zoo. Before they finished their trip, photos of their encounter were already everywhere on the Internet.
"I don't care if you, a humble CP fan, go crazy online. I'm too obsessed with this couple."
"I swore that I would never ship Ou Renjin's couple again in my life, but now - it's so good."
"Why does it feel like the whole world is bumping into them today?"
"Fuck, Mr. Ou's expression when he was holding the child was too doting, is he serious this time?"
"I, I, I, I want to expose this online. The two of them took the cable car this morning and kissed for a full half hour."
"Ahhh, I captured the kiss on the cable car. I saw a pair of young men kissing from a distance and was so excited that I almost lost my phone. When I got closer, I found out it was the W-European couple. I was so excited that I had a seizure on the spot and almost fell off the cable car. [Exclusive close-up kiss photo.jpg]"
"Is Ou Renjin crazy? Although he has always been blatant, this is too blatant."
"Is the prodigal son really going to return?"
"Haha, you said the same thing a few months ago when Ou Renjin hadn't broken up with Qi Shuyang yet."
As they said, although Ou Renjin has always been bold, he has never been photographed kissing his concubine. The most intimate action is just hugging the waist and kissing the cheek. Therefore, when he explicitly told fans not to call Ou Shaowen "concubine", speculation came up again. Could it be that he is really going to change his mind this time
However, despite the heated online speculation and discussion, the two parties did not respond. Ou Shaowen has not posted on Weibo for 800 years, while Ou Renjin has read many comments with great interest, but he has his own bad taste and especially does not like spoilers. It is really interesting to see these netizens who have nothing to do with his life, constantly analyzing the people who come and go around him based on his expression, an action, different names, the number of times he is mentioned on Weibo, the quality of the resources given, and who has the highest status in his heart.
"Let's have dinner together later?" Song Yijiu looked cautiously at Ou Shaowen who was standing beside him waiting for someone to pick him up, and finally said this tentatively.
Ou Shaowen looked over with some surprise, as if he had never expected to receive such an invitation.
“You’ve helped me a lot recently, and I wanted to express my gratitude.” His attitude towards Ou Shaowen was much more natural than before. After all, as long as you get along with such a person, it is difficult not to have a good impression of him.
He will always understand and tolerate you, and will never blame you no matter how many mistakes you make. He doesn't talk much, but when you talk to him, he will listen to every word you say carefully. For the introverted and slow-to-warm-up Song Yijiu, he is really a very comfortable person to get along with.
"Okay." Ou Shaowen nodded and said to him, "Wait a moment."
In front of him, he called Ou Renjin and said that he would have dinner with his dance teammates in the evening.
The moment the call was connected, Song Yijiu subconsciously held his breath. His whole body was tense and he listened intently to the movement on the other end of the phone.
He first heard a chuckle, and then a gentle and lazy male voice, "Okay, call Uncle Li when you come back, and he will pick you up."
“No, I can take a ride back by myself.” Ou Shaowen refused without hesitation. He was now very familiar with the route from the company to home and could even walk back.
"Okay." Ou Renjin didn't care about his rejection at all. "Then be careful and call me if you have any problems." He said in a teasing tone, "I won't go to bed before eleven o'clock, so don't worry about waking me up, okay?"
"I know. I'll be back soon, before you go to bed."
Song Yijiu listened to their phone call and breathed a sigh of relief. He was very satisfied that Ou Shaowen did not say his name in front of President Ou. He always felt inexplicably awkward and concerned. He had obviously approached Ou Shaowen with a purpose in the first place, but he didn't want anyone to know his ill intentions.
"Where are we going?" Ou Shaowen looked over puzzledly, waiting for his arrangements.
"Do you like spicy food? Let's go eat hot pot?" Song Yijiu took Ou Shaowen to the direction where he parked his car. "It's okay, I have a car. I can take you home after dinner."
Ou Shaowen had never eaten hot pot when he was with Ou Renjin. His impression of this kind of food came from various movies and TV shows. At this time, he was a little curious and looking forward to it. "I don't know if I like spicy food, but I think I can try it."
“You’ve never eaten hot pot?”
"Um."
Song Yijiu smiled, revealing a rare childishness, "It's not good to eat too much hot pot. It's okay, we can eat it quietly, once in a while, and don't tell the teacher."
Ever since they started training for the talent show, their vocal teacher had warned them many times to protect their voices and eat less raw, cold, spicy, and irritating foods.
"Okay, I won't tell the teacher."
When Ou Shaowen returned to the villa, he was as excited as a little lamb. He rushed to Ou Renjin, his whole body emitting a strong smell of hot pot, "Didn't you always ask me to confirm what my favorite food is? Now I know what I like to eat the most. I love hot pot the most. It's super delicious, even better than steak. Can we go eat it together next time?"
Ou Renjin pressed the book in his hand against his forehead and said, "Go take a shower first."
Ou Shaowen nodded, and before leaving, he suddenly turned back and hugged Ou Renjin tightly, rubbed his cheek with his hair, and smiled softly at the way he pushed him back expressionlessly, "Now you have a smell too."
"Why are you so scheming now? Do you want to take a bath with me?"
"Yes, I do."
Ou Renjin glanced at him lightly, "But I don't want to."
"It's okay, we'll take a shower together when you want." Ou Shaowen had already vaguely grasped the pattern of whether Ou Renjin would agree, and he didn't feel disappointed at all, and ran away with happy steps.
He looked at Ou Shaowen's lively and energetic back as he walked towards the bathroom, his thin lips slightly pursed, in an unusual silence.
You see, he said before that he was the only one in the whole world who liked him, but now he already has something he likes, right
Ou Shaowen likes to eat hot pot, but he can't eat spicy food, so it seems that I can't accompany him to eat.
This is good. He will become more and more cheerful, will gradually have his own social circle, will have more and more things he likes, and will have more and more people he likes. In the end, what kind of person he will become, Ou Renjin is also looking forward to it.
While thinking this, he came out with a lot of moisture on his body, sat down next to Ou Renjin, and began to tell him what happened today. "Did you know? The employees in the hot pot restaurant actually serve the dishes on roller skates. It's amazing. The aisle is so narrow, but they whizzed through it. It's so handsome and cool. Song Yijiu said he is very good at roller skating and will take me to play next time. By the way, do you know Song Yijiu? He said that the company arranged for him to participate in the competition with me."
"Know."
"When we came down after dinner, we found a lot of people playing skateboards in the square, some were dancing together, and some were selling glowing balloons. We also went to slide on the slide for children, but we only slid twice before giving it to the children because they were all staring at us from the sidelines, and Song Yijiu felt embarrassed."
"Yeah?"
"He also said his nickname was 019, because it was the homophone of his previous student number plus his name, so people called him that. It seems similar to my previous name..."
Ou Renjin paused as he turned the pages of the book. He frowned and asked, "What was your previous name?"
Ou Shaowen nodded, "But I like the name you gave me better."
Some strange guesses emerged in his mind. Ou Renjin put down the book in his hand and turned to look at the expression on Ou Shaowen's face. "Didn't you say you don't have a name?"
“I don’t have a name like yours.” Ou Shaowen yawned, “Shall we go to bed?”
"What was your name before?"
"The previous name was not nice, let's not mention it anymore, okay?" He didn't like his boring and cold number. It was different from Song Yijiu's nickname, which was filled with stories and memories. Its existence only proved that 35 failed products had died before him. There was no beautiful imagery, nor any memories to cherish.
"If you're sleepy, go to bed first. I'll tidy up and come up soon." Ou Renjin looked deeply into his eyes and didn't ask any more questions.
Ou Shaowen was unusually excited today. He liked to get in touch with new things, things that he couldn't get in touch with in the laboratory. This would make him more deeply aware of the fact that he had left the laboratory. He also wanted to create many good memories during this time. When the time came, he would tell everyone in the experiment that his name would be "Ou Shaowen" from now on, and never "036" again.
"Okay." He climbed onto the bed, but he didn't feel sleepy at all once he lay down on the pillow. So, in the bright white light, he looked at Ou Renjin silently, without blinking, as if he was staring at a kite that could fly away at any time.
Ou Renjin met his gaze and quickly looked away. He stood up, turned off the light, and lay down on her.
Ou Shaowen reached out from under the quilt, held Ou Renjin's hand, and sighed with satisfaction.
When he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly heard Ou Renjin's calm voice, "Tomorrow is March 7th."
"Um?"
"I owe you six days in February, and I've made up for it today." He paused for a moment, "I'll have someone move my things tomorrow. If you have something to do, just go out with everyone else, and you don't need to report to me."
Ou Shaowen lost his sleepiness almost instantly. He opened his eyes wide, looked at the pitch-black ceiling, and opened his mouth slightly as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing, and he couldn't even say "OK" in a casual manner.
It was really strange. He had been like this for several months. He knew from the beginning that Ou Renjin had only promised him one month. He had been prepared every day and calculated the date every day. How did he gradually forget about this agreement and began to believe that Ou Renjin would stay here for a very long time
He was silent for a long time in the darkness, and finally responded in a low voice. His voice was hoarse in his throat and sounded very unpleasant.
