[hr: Yes! Dr. Tao, do you still remember the friend you mentioned yesterday? ]
[hr: The one who suddenly came to my house at night.]
After getting off the bus, Tao Zhiyue looked around and walked into a noodle shop next to him and ordered a bowl of simple and refreshing beef ramen. He was a little tired of eating rice and stir-fried vegetables every day and wanted to change his taste.
He took the number tag handed to him by the girl who took our order and replied to the message.
[Tao: Remember, did he come to your house again?]
[hr: He didn’t come, but he sent me a message.]
[hr: I don’t usually read messages, and I don’t necessarily 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 for it, but couldn’t find it, so I replied to him: I didn’t see it. ]
[hr: In the end, he seemed to be 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 and would not embarrass me. He hoped that I would not hate him, and that he just liked me too much... ]
[hr: I had no choice but to reply that it was okay. He sent me another voice message and seemed to be crying. His voice sounded particularly aggrieved. Should I comfort him?]
[hr:/tears]
Tao Zhiyue's eyes widened. He never expected that the old-fashioned HR brother would meet a pursuer who was a pure green tea.
[Tao: ... the tea tastes very strong.]
He was thinking about what advice to give when the HR responded immediately.
[hr: Is Dr. Tao drinking tea? ]
[hr: Don’t drink if it’s too strong. You’ll have insomnia at night.]
Tao Zhiyue was stunned until the waiter brought the steaming noodles to him, then he reacted.
He almost forgot that this was a middle-aged man who had little access to the Internet.
[Tao: I am not talking about tea for drinking. These are popular terms on the Internet. Green tea and strong tea flavor are all used to describe people.]
[hr: Ah, I seem to have heard my sister mention green tea, what does it mean? ]
[Tao: I don’t know how to describe it exactly. I think it’s probably that on the surface, she appears to be innocent and pitiful, but in reality, she is very scheming.]
[Tao: For example, it is this friend who harassed you and caused you trouble, right? But he will apologize and admit his mistakes afterwards, put on a very humble attitude, and say that it was all because he liked you, which subtly shifted the responsibility to you, and you looked very wronged and pitiful. You would want to comfort him, and then he could take the opportunity to make some not-too-excessive requests, and you would probably not refuse, so he could slowly invade your life.]
[Tao: I guess he didn’t lose anything at all. He must be very familiar with your habit of replying to messages and knew that you would definitely reply to him, so he said it that way on purpose.]
The input at the top of the dialog box was displayed for a long time, and the thousands of words finally turned into an expression with a burnt yellow bean face.
[hr:/decline/decline/decline]
Even through the screen, Tao Zhiyue could feel the huge shock that this simple middle-aged straight man felt.
He found it funny but also felt a little bit sorry for him, so he ate noodles while comforting him.
[Tao: It doesn’t matter. When I didn’t understand these things before, I was also fooled by such people. It’s not your problem, it’s that some people are too insincere.]
[hr: No wonder when I asked my sister why she started drinking green tea, she looked at me with disdain… ]
[hr: Dr. Tao, it’s great to meet you, thank you! ]
Tao Zhiyue has begun to get used to the other party's old-fashioned yet sincere flattery, which he finds quite pleasing to hear.
[Tao: Cat giggles.jpg]
[Tao: How did you get to know this friend? Do you have much overlap in work or life?]
[hr: We met because of the company's business, but it has nothing to do with me directly. I am not responsible for that business. After I met him once at a cocktail party, he kept pestering me... ]
[hr: Ah, he sent another message! You really got it right, Dr. Tao!]
[hr: He said that the bracelet was very important to him and he felt very sad when he lost it, so he asked me if I could go with him to buy a similar one.]
[hr: If I hadn’t just learned the definition of green tea, I would definitely agree/crying]
Tao Zhiyue didn't expect that he would be right.
[Tao: Don't be nervous. Since you have no working relationship with him, you don't have anything to worry about. He is playing with your emotions. I suggest you reject him directly. Don't worry about hurting him. He didn't consider your feelings when he manipulated your emotions. So why should you care whether he is upset or not?]
[Tao: But since he is very annoying, he will probably play the role of being pitiful and innocent, and in turn make you feel depressed, as if rejecting him is a very evil thing to do.]
[Tao: So I suggest you to attack tea with tea.]
[hr: ! ! That makes a lot of sense, Dr. Tao, please teach me! ]
So Tao Zhiyue instructed him very carefully, and HR brother was extremely shocked after listening to him, as if the door to a new world had been opened. He could not wait to find Green Tea to practice it.
It has been a while since Tao Zhiyue last typed on his phone so intensively, and his fingers were a little sore.
Fortunately, after eating a bowl of warm and soothing noodle soup, Tao Zhiyue felt refreshed both physically and mentally. He touched his bloated stomach, happily paid the bill and left.
The beef in this restaurant is braised very well, soft and tasty, with a strong aroma. He will try to make it next time.
The shadows of the trees were swaying, the street lights were dim, and there were people walking in groups of three or four, walking their dogs.
Tao Zhiyue walked towards the park in the night. He was very full, so he wanted to take a walk to digest the food.
The phone in his pocket vibrated. Tao Zhiyue took it out and saw that it was a chat record sent by HR.
[It’s Starlight: 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 bad too.]
[It's Xingguang: ...Brother, what's wrong with you?]
[hr: I feel really bad for causing you to lose such an important bracelet.]
[hr: It’s all my fault. If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have lost things and wouldn’t always be sad because of me.]
The other party was obviously shocked and took a long time to reply. Tao Zhiyue couldn't help laughing.
[It’s Xingguang: ...Brother?]
[hr: You also know what others think of me, they all say I am old-fashioned and boring. You are so outstanding, but you still like me, I am very panicked. ]
[hr: I don’t understand what’s so good about me, and I can’t respond to your love, which makes you feel bad.]
[hr: I'm terrible.]
This time the interval between replies is even longer.
[It’s Xingguang: Don’t say that, you are the best in my eyes…]
[hr: Don’t comfort me, it’s useless. I don’t have the courage to see you now. I will look for the bracelet carefully at home.]
[hr: I need to be alone for a while, sorry.]
The record ends here. By the time Tao Zhiyue finished reading it, HR had already sent him several messages.
[hr: Dr. Tao, how am I doing? ]
[hr: In the end, I couldn’t help myself. It turns out that being a green tea girl feels so good. It can stop others from speaking.]
[hr: cat giggles.jpg]
I have to say that although HR brother is not young, he has a talent for learning and accepts new things very quickly. His imitation of Green Tea is very lifelike.
[Tao: You performed very well. It reminded me of this emoticon.]
[Tao: Panda head with a crying face but a smiling face.jpg]
[hr: This is good! ]
[hr: Doctor Tao, wait a moment.]
Tao Zhiyue was wondering what the HR brother was going to do, and soon, he sent another chat record.
[hr: I need to be alone for a while, sorry.]
[hr: Panda head with a crying face but a smiling face.jpg]
[It’s Xingguang: Brother, this is not how you use this emoticon…]
[hr: Really? I thought it was to emphasize that I was sad.]
[hr: I’m so stupid, I don’t even know how to use emoticons, I feel so bad. ]
[hr: Panda head with a crying face but a smiling face.jpg]
The other party didn't dare to speak anymore.
Tao Zhiyue stared at the funny panda head expression and laughed uncontrollably.
[Tao: You are amazing, really.]
[Tao: No. 1 in weirdness/Like]
[Tao: (The sarcasm here is to praise your beautiful rebuttal)]
[hr: A little revenge^-^]
[hr: Ah! I learned something new.]
[hr: Dr. Tao, today I am grateful to you for helping me analyze his psychology. You understand a lot.]
Tao Zhiyue thought about it and felt that he must not let HR brother have any strange misunderstandings about him, so he explained.
[Tao: There are all kinds of people on the Internet. People like to complain about weirdos like this the most. I have seen a lot of them, so I am quite familiar with them.]
[hr: So that’s how it is.]
[hr: Dr. Tao, do you think I should surf the Internet more and learn more about what’s popular among young people?]
Tao Zhiyue suddenly remembered the words in the previous chat record, "You also know what others think of me, they all say I'm old-fashioned and boring."
It seems that HR is troubled by this. As a middle-aged man, he is still willing to try new things in order to communicate with young people. Tao Zhiyue thinks he is very courageous.
[Tao: Do you remember what you said to me yesterday?]
[Tao: Don’t care about other people’s opinions, just follow your heart.]
[Tao: If you think that will make you happier, then do it.]
When Tao Zhiyue returned home after his stroll, it was almost nine o'clock. It was a relaxing evening without having to do housework, so he didn't turn on the computer. He took a shower and then went to bed to play with his phone.
Although he felt that he had a fulfilling day today, he was used to surfing the internet before going to bed, and he always felt like something was missing if he didn't check the forum.
Tao Zhiyue scrolled the screen in a relaxed mood. Even when he saw a post that would normally make his blood pressure rise, he just swiped past it with a smile. When he turned to the entertainment section, his eyes were attracted by a red hot post floating at the top.
Title: Here he comes, here he comes, the famous tea star Xia Moumou is here again with his signature tea art. [hot]
The author: As we all know, the only masterpiece of the top Weibo star Xia Moumou, "The Camellia Man", has a sequel today. No prize guessing: Which poor male star will be dragged out by the heartbroken stars to be insulted as a scumbag next? [Screenshot][Screenshot][Screenshot]
[Xia Xingxi v: I lost something very important, and I also lost someone very important.]
[Xia Xingxi v replied to my favorite Xixi: It’s nothing, don’t make random guesses, it’s just that I’m not good enough.]
[Xia Xingxi v: Thank you for always being there, my cutest stars/love]
Tao Zhiyue took a quick glance at the screenshot and felt that the tea taste was too strong, and most of the comments below were mocking.
The concentration of green tea today was really too high, and he could hardly bear it. So he didn't read it carefully, exited the post casually, browsed the forum for a while, and soon felt sleepy.
The moonlight is hazy and everything is silent in the night.
Tao Zhiyue turned off the lights, snuggled into the thin quilt, and fell into a deep sleep.
At half past ten, the phone screen quietly lit up.
[hr: Good night, Dr. Tao, I wish you a sweet dream.]
