Hello, How Long Has This Been Going On?

Chapter 101: Extra story about the adventures of Huang Gua in coir raincoat

Views:

[hr: I don’t usually read messages, and I don’t always reply, but he said he had a bracelet that he couldn’t find, and it might have been left at my house. After I saw the message, I looked around and couldn't find it, so I replied to him: I didn't see it. ]

[hr: It turned out that he seemed to have been waiting for my reply, and immediately said that he would look for it again, and then apologized to me, saying that he was too impulsive last night, and he would be more careful in the future so as not to embarrass me. He hoped that I would not hate him. I just like me too much...]

[hr: I had no choice but to reply: It’s okay. He sent another voice message. He seemed to be crying and his voice was very aggrieved. Should I comfort him? ]

[hr:/tears]

Tao Zhiyue's eyes widened when he saw it. He didn't expect that the suitor met by the old-fashioned HR brother was actually a purebred green tea man.

[Tao: ...the tea tastes so strong. ]

He was thinking about what advice to give, and HR responded immediately.

[hr: Is Dr. Tao drinking tea? ]

[hr: Don’t drink it if it’s too strong. It will make you sleepless at night. ]

Tao Zhiyue was stunned. He didn't react until the waiter brought the steaming noodles to him.

He almost forgot that this was a middle-aged brother who didn't have much access to the Internet.

[Tao: I'm not talking about tea for drinking. This is a buzzword on the Internet. Green tea, strong tea flavor, all describe people. ]

[hr: Ah, I think I heard my sister say green tea. What does it mean? ]

[Tao: I don’t know how to describe it exactly. When I think about it, it’s probably like pretending to be pitiful and innocent on the surface, but actually very scheming. ]

[Tao: For example, this friend is obviously harassing you and causing you trouble, right? But he will apologize and admit his mistake afterwards, keep his attitude very low, and say that everything is because he likes you, subtly shifting the responsibility to you, making him look aggrieved and pitiful. You will in turn want to comfort him, and then he You can take the opportunity to make some requests that are not too excessive, and you will probably not refuse, so that he can slowly invade your life. ]

[Tao: I guess he didn’t throw anything away at all. He probably knew your habit of replying to messages very well and knew that you would definitely reply to what you said, so he said that on purpose. ]

The input at the top of the dialog box was displayed for a long time, and thousands of words finally turned into an expression with a face full of blackened soybeans.

[hr:/decline/decline/decline]

Across the screen, Tao Zhiyue felt the huge impact on the heart of this simple middle-aged straight man.

He found it funny, but also couldn't bear it, so he comforted him while eating noodles.

[Tao: It doesn’t matter. When I didn’t understand this before, I was fooled around by people like this. It's not your problem, it's that some people are too insincere. ]

[hr: No wonder when I asked my sister how she started drinking green tea, she had a look of contempt on her face... ]

[hr: Dr. Tao, it’s great to meet you, thank you! ]

Tao Zhiyue had begun to get used to the other party's corny and sincere rainbow farts, which were quite comforting to listen to.

[Tao: Maomao giggles.jpg]

[Tao: How did you meet this friend? Do you have much intersection in work or life? ]

[HR: I met him because of the company's business, but he has no direct relationship with me. I am not responsible for that area of business. He has been pestering me since I met him once at a cocktail party... ]

[hr: Ah, he sent a message again! Dr. Tao, you really hit the mark! ]

[hr: He said that the bracelet was very important to him and he felt very sad when he couldn’t find it. He asked me if I could accompany him to buy a similar one. ]

[hr: If I hadn’t just learned the definition of green tea, I would definitely have agreed/shed tears]

Tao Zhiyue didn't expect that he was right.

[Tao: Don’t be nervous. Since you have no working relationship with him, you have nothing to worry about. He uses these emotional tricks on you. In fact, I suggest you reject him directly. Don’t worry about hurting him. He They didn't take your feelings into consideration when manipulating your emotions, so why should you care if he feels uncomfortable? ]

[Tao: But since he is very cute, he will probably pretend to be pitiful and innocent. In turn, he will make you very depressed, as if rejecting him is a sinful thing. ]

[Tao: So I suggest you fight tea with tea. ]

[hr:! ! It makes sense, Dr. Tao, please teach me! ]

So Tao Zhiyue guided him very carefully. Brother HR was so shocked that he seemed to have opened the door to a new world and couldn't wait to find green tea to practice.

Tao Zhiyue's fingers were a little sore after not typing on his mobile phone with such intensity for a long time.

Fortunately, he had a bowl of warm and hot noodle soup, which made him feel physically and mentally comfortable. Tao Zhiyue touched his swollen belly and happily checked out and left.

The beef in this store is so well braised, soft and delicious, with a rich aroma. He will try to make it next time.

The shadows of the trees are swaying, the street lights are dim, and there are people walking in twos and threes walking their dogs.

Tao Zhiyue walked towards the park into the night. He was so full that he wanted to take a walk to eat.

The phone in his pocket vibrated. Tao Zhiyue took it out and looked at it. It was a chat record sent by HR.

[It’s Xingguang: That’s the bracelet my mother gave me. I wore it for a long time, but suddenly I couldn’t find it. I felt so sad...]

[hr: I feel so uncomfortable too. ]

[It's Xingguang:...Brother, what's wrong with you? ]

[hr: I blame myself for causing you to lose such an important bracelet. ]

[hr: It’s all my fault. If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t lose things and you wouldn’t always be sad for me. ]

The other person was obviously shocked, and it took him a while to reply. Tao Zhiyue couldn't hold it back and started to laugh.

[It’s Xingguang:...Brother? ]

[hr: You know what other people say about me, they say I'm old-fashioned and boring. You are so good, but you still like me, I am very scared. ]

[hr: I don’t understand what’s good about me, and I can’t respond to your love, which makes you feel uncomfortable. ]

[hr: I'm so bad. ]

The intervals between replies are longer this time.

[It’s Xingguang: Don’t say that, you are the best in my eyes...]

[HR: Stop comforting me. It’s useless. I don’t even have the courage to see you now. I will look carefully for the bracelet at home. ]

[hr: I want to be alone for a while, sorry. ]

The record ended here. By the time Tao Zhiyue finished reading, HR had already sent several messages.

[hr: Dr. Tao, how am I doing? ]

[hr: Later I still couldn’t hold it in anymore. It turned out that being a green tea felt so good, it could make others afraid to speak. ]

[hr: Maomao giggles.jpg]

I have to say that although Brother HR is not young, he is very talented in learning and accepts new things very quickly. He imitates green tea very well.

[Tao: You performed very well, which reminded me of this emoticon. ]

[Tao: Panda head crying on the outside and laughing on the back.jpg]

[hr: This is good! ]

[hr: Dr. Tao, wait for me. ]

Tao Zhiyue was wondering what Brother HR was going to do. Soon, he sent another chat record.

[hr: I want to be alone for a while, sorry. ]

[hr: Panda head crying on the outside and laughing on the back.jpg]

[It’s Xingguang: Brother, that’s not how this emoticon is used...]

[hr: Really? I thought this was to emphasize that I was sad. ]

[hr: I’m so stupid, I can’t even use emoticons. I feel so uncomfortable. ]

[hr: Panda head crying on the outside and laughing on the back.jpg]

The other person didn't dare to speak at all.

Tao Zhiyue stared at the funny panda head expression and couldn't stop laughing.

[Tao: You are amazing, really. ]

[Tao: The first place in Yin and Yang strangeness/like]

[Tao: (The yin and yang here is to praise you for your beautiful confrontation)]

[hr: A little revenge^-^]

[hr: Ah! Learned new knowledge again. ]

[HR: Dr. Tao, thank you for helping me analyze his psychology today. You know a lot. ]

The more Tao Zhi thought about it, he felt that he could not let Brother HR have any strange misunderstandings about him, so he explained.

[Tao: There are all kinds of people on the Internet. Weird things like this are the ones that netizens like to complain about most. I’ve watched them a lot, so I’m familiar with them. ]

[hr: So that’s it. ]

[hr: Dr. Tao, do you think I should go online more and learn more about what is popular among young people? ]

Tao Zhiyue suddenly remembered what he said in the previous chat record, "You also know what others say about me. They all say that I am old-fashioned and boring."

It seems that Brother HR is quite troubled by this. As a middle-aged man, Tao Zhiyue thinks he is very courageous and is still willing to explore new things in order to communicate with young people.

[Tao: Do you still remember what you said to me yesterday? ]

[Tao: Don’t care about other people’s opinions, just follow your own heart. ]

[Tao: If you think that will make you happier, do it. ]

When Tao Zhiyue returned home from his walk, it was almost nine o'clock. It was a relaxing night when he didn't have to do housework. He didn't turn on the computer anymore. He took a shower first and then went to bed to play with his mobile phone.

Although he felt very fulfilled today, he was used to surfing before going to bed. If he didn't browse the forum, he always felt like something was missing.

Tao Zhiyue scrolled the screen in a relaxed mood. Even though he saw a post that would normally raise his blood pressure, he now scrolled through it with a smile. When he turned to the entertainment section, his eyes were caught by a message floating on the top. The popular post attracts people.

Title He's coming He's coming He's coming. The famous tea star Xia Moumou is here again with his signature tea art. [hot]

Posted by: As we all know, "The Man of the Camellia", the only representative work of Xia Moumou, a top-notch scarf, has a sequel today. No-prize guessing: Which poor male star will be dragged out by the heartbroken stars to insult and slander him next? [Screenshot][Screenshot][Screenshot]

[Xia Xingxi v: I lost something very important and also lost a very important person. ]

[Xia Xingxi v replied to Favorite Xixi: It’s nothing, don’t guess, it’s because I’m not good enough. ]

[Xia Xingxi v: Thank you for always being there, my loveliest stars/love]

Tao Zhiyue casually glanced at the screenshot and felt that the tea taste was beyond the standard, and most of the comments below were mocking.

The concentration of green tea today was really too high. He couldn't bear it, so he quit the post without looking at it carefully. He browsed the forum for a while, and soon fell asleep.

The moonlight was hazy and everything was silent at night.

Tao Zhiyue turned off the light, nestled into the thin quilt, and fell asleep deeply.

At half past ten, the phone screen quietly turned on.

[hr: Good night, Dr. Tao, I wish you sweet dreams. ]

Two minutes passed quickly. As soon as six o'clock arrived, Tao Zhiyue turned off his computer, fastened the lid of his water glass, picked up the shopping bag on the table, and clocked out happily.

Xue Huacan, the programmer sitting next door, looked at him in surprise: "Xiao Tao, are you leaving?"

Tao Zhiyue smiled: "Yes, if it gets later, the supermarket will run out of vegetables."

"I'm going to give out a package tonight. How can I do it if you're not here?" Xue Huacan frowned.

Tao Zhiyue remained patient: "The parts I am responsible for have been confirmed, and they are not related to the modules you are working on. It is none of my business."

Xue Huacan's brows furrowed even more tightly, "The time for issuing the contract this time is very tight, and there are still many functions that need to be modified. I will stay overtime and I will send you the new requirements -"

Tao Zhiyue interrupted him with a puzzled expression, "Are you pressed for time? Why did I see you watching videos at Station D in the afternoon..."

Xue Huacan: "Ahem! I was learning the interface made by others!"

So Tao Zhiyue looked at him encouragingly, "You worked really hard and studied for most of the afternoon. Then you must have ideas about the functions you want to change."

Xue Huacan could only say bluntly, "Of course."

"Then come on, bye."

Tao Zhiyue didn't give him a chance to continue talking, turned around and walked away, leaving behind a handsome figure.

Other employees watching the excitement not far away couldn't help but make envious sounds.

"The king of job-killing has finally met his match. Oh, I really envy Tao Zhiyue. He has only been here for less than two months and he is so new. He doesn't even work overtime when giving out contracts."

"If you are Tao Zhiyue, you can do it too. He can write code quickly and well without rework. He is the best of three. I heard that he didn't go to a big factory because he didn't want to work overtime. Since he came, I looked at the main program Lao Li’s hair has not fallen out much. Before, he grabbed HR every day and asked if anyone could come for an interview.”

"Speaking of hair, Tao Zhiyue's head is so thick and handsome... so sour."

"Don't think about it, the world of handsome guys is different from ours. I heard that many girls from the company next door came to ask him to hang out, but none of them agreed."

"...I suggest that Tao Zhiyue be fired from his programmer status qaq"

Tao Zhiyue knew nothing about this. He took the bus to the supermarket near his home, thinking about the menu for the evening.

It is getting late, and the supermarket is crowded with people. In front of them are colorful vegetables, fruits and poultry, bright tomatoes, green leafy vegetables stained with water, yellow peppers, green and gray live shrimps popping out of the water tank, and red cooked food exuding an alluring smell. Tao Zhiyue took a deep breath at the scent.

It's good to be alive.

No one knows that Tao Zhiyue died once.

He used to be named Tao Zhiyue. He was quiet and sensible since he was a child, with excellent grades and a harmonious family. After graduating from the top computer major in the country, he successfully joined a large Internet company that everyone envied as a coder, working hard to earn money. , I want to settle down in a big city and make my parents proud.

As a result, before he could save enough for the down payment, he died suddenly and unexpectedly.

Apart from his crazy work, Tao Zhiyue has no other hobbies, and he has never been in love because of his sexual orientation. His only concern is his parents. Fortunately, his mother is already pregnant with a second child. Even if he is gone, they can still have a happy life for the rest of their lives. Other comfort.

Tao Zhiyue was relatively relieved about his sudden death, so when he opened his eyes and found that he had come to life in a novel world, he was filled with questions.

Especially when the plot of this novel appeared in his mind, his whole body burst into tears.

This is a sleazy novel called "Being Pampered by a Cold and Disabled Boss". The protagonist is called Shen Nian, who is weak in temperament, delicate and beautiful. She was bullied by her adoptive parents for more than 20 years, until she accidentally met a cold and cruel man. Huo Ran, the disabled CEO, has since become Shen Nian's supporter, while Shen Nian has become Huo Ran's only weakness.

With the help of Huo Ran, Shen Nian escaped from his adoptive parents' family, and even discovered his own life experience. It turned out that he was the young master of the wealthy Shen family who had left behind. Shen Nian was immediately welcomed back to the Shen family, and the man who once despised him People were slapped in the face one by one, and there were countless men and women who admired him. As a result, the relationship between Shen Nian and Huo Ran was in crisis.

Later, Shen Nian relied on her medical talent to cure Huo Ran's leg, which proved her sincerity. Soon after, the two went abroad to register for marriage and lived happily together.

Tao Zhiyue couldn't accept this plot, which was full of the flavor of ancient tragic TV series, but the more terrifying thing was yet to come.

There is also a character named Tao Zhiyue in the book. He was an orphan since he was a child. He became Huo Ran's first love when he was in college. Unexpectedly, something unexpected happened. The two met in a car accident while traveling during their passionate love. Huo Ran became disabled in both legs in order to protect him.

But after Huo Ran was ostracized by his family and lost power, Tao Zhiyue left him without looking back. From then on, Huo Ran's temperament changed drastically, until Shen Nian appeared and healed his cold and broken heart.

The merciless and snobbish Tao Zhiyue actually came back to him after learning that Huo Ran had inherited the group. He wanted to get back together. The weak and weak Shen Nian stood in front of Huo Ran and scolded him. This move made Huo Ran really Falling in love with Shen Nian also made Huo Ran completely despair of Tao Zhiyue.

Huo Ran began to crazily retaliate against Tao Zhiyue. He caused a car accident to let Tao Zhiyue taste the pain he had suffered. Shen Nian inadvertently exposed Tao Zhiyue's cold-blooded behavior. Indignant netizens insulted Tao Zhiyue crazily. , he was ruined, lost his job, lost his ability to take care of himself due to the injury, and finally committed suicide.

Tao Zhiyue, whose pupils continued to tremble:... scared.

Tao Zhiyue didn't know what opportunity gave him a chance to live again. He didn't have many regrets about his death. The only thing he might have was that he hoped he wouldn't have to work overtime in his next life. He would eat on time, exercise, and strive to live to ninety-nine.

As an ordinary social worker who has never seen the world and lives between two o'clock and one line every day, it is really too exciting for him to face such an ups and downs of logic and a fate all of a sudden.

After Tao Zhiyue calmed down, he found that he was in the second half of his sophomore year and there was no one named Huo Ran in his memory. The novel did not describe the story of him and Huo Ran in detail. It only said that they met in college. Huo Ran fell in love with him at first sight.

At that time, Tao Zhiyue was full of fear of the ruthless Huo Ran in the story, and he was also frightened by the unfamiliar world of the novel. He felt that if he stayed here for a second longer, he might be involved in this terrible bloody story.

So Tao Zhiyue dropped out of school and ran away overnight with his ID card and bank card. He had already studied enough in his previous life and was not interested in "Tao Zhiyue's" university major, so there was no need to waste another two years studying.

What's more, his excellent programming skills and rich project experience are enough for him to overcome the academic hurdle and find the job he wants in numerous game companies.

After a brief investigation, Tao Zhiyue rented a house in Shanbei City, which has a pleasant climate and is full of snacks, found a job, and began to slowly save money to own his own house.

Fortunately, this world is basically the same as the one he used to live in. The cultural customs and development level are similar, with only some differences in details and names. Therefore, Tao Zhiyue quickly adapted to the new life and worked hard to get rid of the injuries he suffered in his previous life. The bad habit that hurts the body and liver has become a glorious young health practitioner.

Tao Zhiyue commutes to get off work on time every day, makes breakfast and dinner for himself, reads and plays games on weekends, goes for a walk in the park on sunny days, and cooks hot pot at home on rainy days. A year passes quickly like running water.

Counting the days, it was still two years before Huo Ran and Shen Nian met by chance. Tao Zhiyue felt that as long as the two protagonists met and fell in love, he, the tool man and cannon fodder, would be completely safe, and he could be freed from the plot that might come at any time. , completely live your own life.

Although this world does not seem to have any supernatural elements, Tao Zhiyue has already felt the power of the God of Plot.

His last job was in an emerging game company that rarely required 996. The benefits were very good and the boss was reasonable. Tao Zhiyue was very satisfied with the job, but one day he suddenly learned that the company’s A-round financing was funded by Huo's capital company led the investment.

Moreover, Huo took the initiative to contact us about this investment, and the reason was very superficial. He said that he was optimistic about the company's future development direction, and planned to directly send senior executives of the parent company to come over, and would carry out in-depth cooperation with other entertainment industries of Huo Group in the future.

Even the company boss was surprised, lamenting how such a small company could be attracted by the Huo family with a big business. Tao Zhiyue was stunned and quickly resigned and ran away.

Before joining his current company, Tao Zhiyue was different from ordinary applicants. During the final interview, he had been confirming whether the company had a financing plan.

Because his skills were so good, he had a strong aura when talking about his professional field, and he was too good-looking, the CEO was so shocked that he carefully checked with him to see if he was really going to be a programmer, thinking that this was some talented young man from a wealthy family who came incognito. Find projects to play with.

Tao Zhiyue explained for a long time before the new boss, who was too imaginative, reluctantly believed that he was just an ordinary wage earner who was unemployed and making money.

On this day, Tao Zhiyue chewed his food slowly as usual, washed the dishes, stood in front of the colorfully printed Cupid portrait, and devoutly wished Huo Ran and Shen Nian an early fall in love.

Then he sat down in front of the computer and started the happiest time of the day surfing the Internet.

Except for the company and the park supermarkets around the community, Tao Zhiyue hardly goes to other places or participates in any social activities, for fear of running into the characters in the original book, so his social circle is very narrow, basically only colleagues, and colleagues are often difficult to become friend.

It is inevitable to feel lonely in a person's life, but fortunately there is a network extending in all directions.

Tao Zhiyue, who is alone in this world, whenever he sees so many troll netizens laughing with him on the screen, he immediately feels a warm feeling of being together in this world.

He opened the Sky Forum that he often visited, and browsed through the forums ranging from parents' short stories to those who laugh frequently. Sometimes he had high blood pressure, sometimes he hahaha, sometimes? ? ? , and finally his eyes rested on a hot post that was ranked in the first line of the emotional life section.

The title is that I am being pursued by four people of the same sex, but I am a straight man. How should I refuse tactfully and politely? [hot]

Tao Zhiyue went in with a doubtful look on his face. Sure enough, the content of the main building was quite fantasy-like. It basically said that the building owner was handsome and rich, but he was not good at rejecting others since he was a child. Recently, he didn’t know why he was being favored by people of the same sex one after another, and they were all from the industry. There are elites and even idol stars. The straight male poster is embarrassed to refuse directly for fear of hurting others' hearts, but he really doesn't like men.

The comments below are basically to ask the poster to stop such ordinary but confident assumptions, and take photos of really handsome guys, otherwise they will be treated as trolling posts.

Tao Zhiyue, who was single since birth, agreed deeply. As a born gay, he couldn't even imagine such a dreamy plot. He didn't expect that today's straight men would use such wild methods of fishing and replying.

Under the gaze of Cupid, the god of love, who was the size of an A4 paper, Tao Zhiyue, who was wearing a sand sculpture ID, sneered and made that very skillful taunt.

[Director Tao of the No. 7 Mental Hospital of Shanbei City: Hello, how long has this situation been going on? ]

He felt as if he was thinking about a lot of things, but also seemed to be thinking about nothing at all.

My head became a mess of yarn, dysfunctional and logical, with only a few images flashing through it over and over again.

Surrounded by a crowd of strangers, chaotic words and voices buzzed in his ears, but Huo Ran saw those clear and bright eyes at a glance, and there was only silence.

When he saw the boy again, he held a thick notebook and carefully recorded what he saw and felt. Occasionally, he raised his face and looked at the producer who was preaching passionately on the booth, with a burning light flashing in his eyes.

They made the exact same expression at the same time in the game, and then invariably looked up at each other. Then the other party suddenly opened his beautiful eyes, and the earphones slipped off, revealing his red ears.

He filled out the questionnaire very attentively, his brows furrowed slightly when he was thinking, and his handwriting was elegant. Huo Ran sat next to him, as if enveloped by a quiet force, and looked at him quietly for a long time.

Finally, he took the medicine box he handed over and said thank you and goodbye with a blank expression.

After Huo Ran watched him leave, he remained in the same posture, motionless, until now.

Huo Ran had never seen himself like this.

He reached out and touched his somewhat hot cheek, trying to regain some rationality and try to judge the current situation.

After thinking for a while, Huo Ran stopped the staff who were standing by and did not dare to make any move.

His tone was very firm: "Is the air-conditioning temperature in this venue too high? It's a bit hot."

A staff member who felt that he had run out of clothes after dark:…

"Yes... right?" The staff member tried to show a positive smile, "When you say that, I seem to be a little hot too."

Huo Ran breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably, "Then turn it down a little. It's too stuffy. I can't even breathe."

"Okay, we'll adjust it right away." The knowledgeable staff member maintained a very professional smile, "Should the video I recorded for you be sent directly to you, or do we need to do some post-processing on it?"

"Just give me the memory card." Huo Ran stood up and prepared to leave, "Thank you for your hard work today."
