"Captain, can I ask a question?"
During Fangzhou's lunch break, Ajia moved a small stool, rested her chin on Xu Xinghe's desk, and meditated.
"cannot."
Xu Xinghe rejected her sternly.
Ajia wailed: "Why? I haven't said what the problem is yet!"
Without raising his head, Xu Xinghe said, "Is there any difference? Anyway, you can't ask questions about work during your lunch break."
"Brother Xu still understands me!" Ajia chuckled, moved the small bench forward again, and leaned closer and said, "It's really not a matter of work—what should I get for a first date?"
"..." Xu Xinghe turned to look at her, "Are you talking about friends?"
Ajia shyly covered her face with her hands, but she could still see that she was smiling happily: "It's not that far yet, we're getting to know each other!"
"Yo." Xu Xinghe raised his eyebrows, turned the swivel chair half a circle, and said to Ajia, "Which boy is so lucky? Isn't he from our department?"
"No, no... let's get down to business first, he and I are going to the movies together this weekend, what should I get?" Ajia looked at him eagerly.
Xu Xinghe spread his hands helplessly: "Why do you ask me this kind of question?"
"Otherwise, who else can I ask? Ryan and the others are all bachelors of ten thousand years! Only you here have rich experience in love."
"..."
Team Leader Xu's face was filled with black lines: "Where do I have any experience in love?"
Ajia didn't understand: "Huh?"
Xu Xinghe crossed his arms and said, "I've only been married, never been in a relationship."
Ajia: "..." It seems to make sense.
"However, I can ask for you." Xu Xinghe kindly turned on his smartphone and clicked into the group chat at Capital University because she was the only one in the group.
Although they all graduated from the Department of Computer Science, they are different from the group of bachelors in their own group. The other three in the capital group all have rich experience in dating. Currently, only Lin Qi is single.
However, these three did not engage in counterpart occupations.
It can only be said that it is true that it is difficult for programmers to find someone.
Xu Xinghe: "What's the best gift to give to someone on a first date?"
Lin Qi: "??? What day is it today?"
Vincent: "Your birthday"
Lin Qi: "Don't be like this, I can't bear the word of dating, and we're going to meet tonight, so you're only now asking what gift to give, isn't it a bit late?"
Qi Lier: "What are you thinking, they definitely didn't give you this as a gift"
Xu Xinghe: "...focus on answering my questions, don't waste your father's precious lunch break time :)"
Qi Lier: "Marshal Ling doesn't lack anything, I suggest you send some handmade products, the key is to show your heart"
Xu Xinghe: "...Thank you, it wasn't me, I asked for my colleague, she is 21 this year, female, Beta"
Xu Xinghe: "What kind of presents did you guys give on dates before?"
Qi Lier: "I just gave Joseph a bottle of men's perfume two days ago, but soldiers are not allowed to wear perfume. Is the incense at home okay?"
Xu Xinghe: "Again, I'm not going to give it away :)"
Lin Qi: "I used code to draw a pink love heart for her on the first date"
Vincent: "Then we broke up not long after"
Lin Qi: "..."
Vincent: "I sent her a red envelope of 5200 coins"
Lin Qi: "Too vulgar!"
Xu Xinghe felt that he might have asked the wrong question.
"Why don't you ask the search engine." He closed the group chat and said to Ajia, "It's more reliable than asking me."
"Okay." Ajia made an "OK" gesture, started to swipe the smartphone, and asked while swiping: "But team leader, are you and Marshal Ling really not in love?"
"What?" Xu Xinghe looked at her strangely, "Where did such a terrible idea come from?"
"Because Marshal Ling often comes to pick you up."
"Thinking too much, it's just on the way to work."
Xu Xinghe turned his chair back, looked at the optical brain screen and said, "It's just a simple married marriage, and there are only eleven months left."
Ajia raised her head and blinked: "The place where Marshal Ling works, should be in the Double Star Building, right?"
"Yes, the Alliance Military Office."
"Team leader." Ajia said weakly, "If you have a little understanding of the geographical structure of Floating Star City, you will find that the Double Star Building is in the east, and we are in the west..."
Xu Xinghe was stunned.
"And the team leader, haven't you noticed that you recently—" Ajia pondered for a while, and said, "It seems a little bit swaying."
"..." Xu Xinghe was furious, and reached out to knock her on the forehead: "You're so happy!"
Ajia hugged her head and said, "But you never looked at your smartphone during working hours before! Now sometimes you not only watch, but also look silly at the screen!"
Xu Xinghe: "..."
Recently, I do look at my private mailbox from time to time.
But what does this have to do with Spring Heart!
Xu Xinghe thought distractedly, it seems that this temporary mark is really harmful, and he doesn't know how long it will take to metabolize.
At six o'clock in the evening, Yunwei Pavilion.
"Opener, how is your thesis going?"
"It's my birthday, can you stop talking about such an unlucky topic?"
"Okay... I gave up the chance to go to a midnight movie with my girlfriend tonight to eat your meal, isn't it interesting?"
"Come on! The image of you who values sex over friends has been deeply rooted in my heart, and it will be difficult to change in the short term... unless you help me change a few lines of code!"
"Didn't you say change the subject?"
When Xu Xinghe arrived, the other three were already chatting in the box.
"Happy birthday!" Xu Xinghe threw the wrapped gift to Lin Qi, "Sorry for being late, I got off work a little late today."
Lin Qi grabbed the gift: "It doesn't matter if you're late, old rules, remember to punish yourself with three cups... What's the bread here?"
"You'll know when you go back and take a look." Xu Xinghe sat down and asked, "Where's the wine?"
Lin Qi waved his hands quickly when he heard the words: "No, I'm just joking, just watch and drink after a while!"
Xu Xinghe raised his eyebrows: "Why are you so polite to Dad? Didn't you say that you won't go home if you don't get drunk tonight?"
"That's what you said... But today is not what it used to be, don't you want to go back to the Marshal's Mansion?" Lin Qi blinked at him, "Brother, do you know what state you are in when you are drunk?"
Xu Xinghe: "..."
He doesn't really know.
Because every time I get drunk, I get so drunk that I don't remember what happened afterwards. So I can only know from the descriptions of my relatives and friends that I don't drink well after being drunk.
However, their descriptions are still hesitant and evasive.
Therefore, Xu Xinghe still doesn't know how he "didn't taste good".
However, he knew that when he was slightly drunk, he would appear in a more excited state. At this moment, he was still conscious, but he was forced to talk more.
So he guessed that it was the same when he was completely drunk, just talking big and bragging... Isn't everyone like this when they are drunk
So Xu Shao waved his hand: "Don't worry about it, I won't go back tonight."
In the private room, there are staggered toasts and wine, and the wine is hot.
The four of them haven't let go of drinking for a long time. Since graduation, although they have had a lot of appointments in hot pot games, they rarely dare to drink to their heart's content.
And today, taking advantage of Lin Qi's birthday, the four of them chatted all the way, from being unconvinced when they entered school to competing secretly, to working together to create brilliance together when they participated in the robot competition together.
The more you talk, the more high you are, the more high you drink.
Lin Qi, who claimed to be "all the time", was the first to drink high.
However, his drunk appearance is normal, or it fits the image of a drunk.
"Fucking graduate students! I don't want this degree anymore!" Lin Qi stood up on the chair and said impassionedly: "I won't write anymore! Isn't it just that I can't graduate?? Capital University lost a talent like me, it's its loss!"
Both Qi Lier and Vincent are relatively good at drinking, especially Qi Lier, Xu Xinghe and the others have never seen her drunk.
She reminded Vincent with great experience: "Help Lin Qi turn off his smart phone first, so that he won't have to send a voice message to his tutor after a while, and then he will have to die in the group the next day to express his last words."
Vincent nodded, pulled Lin Qi off the chair, pressed him back to the seat, and pressed the instrument on his wrist a few times, then raised his head and asked Qi Lier: "Should we send Xinghe back first? What if he gets drunk in a while? Both of us are Alpha...we will be silenced by Marshal Ling."
As she said that, she exchanged a look of "you understand" with Qi Lier.
The two turned their heads to look at Xu Xinghe together.
The current Xu Xinghe hasn't drunk that much yet, but has already entered a state of being slightly drunk: "Who is drunk? I am not drunk! Bring the wine! Your father and I can fight for another three hundred rounds!"
At ten o'clock in the evening, the Marshal's Mansion.
The lights in the study were still on, but the air pressure inside was a little low.
From nine o'clock to now, Ling Changfeng has sent three emails to Xu Xinghe, but he didn't reply.
Called and didn't answer.
He Han asked, "Do you want to send someone to pick you up?"
Ling Changfeng glanced at his watch: "Wait a little longer."
eleven o'clock at night.
Ling Changfeng finally couldn't sit still.
It shouldn't take so long to just eat. Most of these people are still drinking.
He remembered the night when he first met Xu Xinghe.
The drunken boy who barks his teeth and claws, and the unforgettable sweet fragrance of flowers under the moonlight...
Marshal Ling couldn't hold back the irritability in his heart when he thought that his appearance would be exposed to others.
At this moment, the orderly reported that Xu Xinghe had returned.
Ling Changfeng put on his coat and went downstairs.
Before reaching the first floor, there was an intoxicating fragrance of flowers.
Ling Changfeng: "..."
Not only is it very fragrant, but it also makes people's teeth itch.
Xu Xinghe stood at the door, looking dazed, not drunk.
But... the smell of alcohol can be smelled from far away.
Ling Changfeng frowned, he remembered that when Xu Xinghe didn't smell strongly of alcohol, he had already started to make trouble.
Why is he smelling so strong of alcohol now, yet still so quiet
