In the next few days, Xu Rendong returned to her normal work schedule. This time, unlike the last time, he has become accustomed to the rhythm of the ghost world, and he did not show obvious mental trauma after coming out. He thought about it, perhaps because the number of deaths this time was relatively small.

Pinch and count, last time I died five times, this time only two times. Progress is still evident.

With the experience of dying in the ghost world, after returning to real life, he has regained his enthusiasm for work. He had never felt that the percussion of a computer keyboard was so pleasant, and the unchanging office image so reassuring. Even the fierce female boss looked a lot more pleasing to the eye, from being a violent shrew to an amiable elder.

After all, the boss will throw the folder in your face when he is angry, and he will not really take out the hatchet and hack you to death.

So amiable!

With this level of consciousness, Xu Rendong's work efficiency has improved a lot.

However, in the eyes of colleagues, Xu Rendong's change is incredible. This handsome man who looks like a star entered this large financial firm after graduating from a prestigious school. After being assigned to this small department, I have been diligent and diligent, working hard, and rarely communicate with everyone about things other than work.

In their profession, they generally change jobs once every six months or so, and salary increases are achieved through job-hopping. But it has been four years since Xu Rendong graduated. In the past four years, colleagues around him have changed one after another, and even his immediate boss has changed from a bald middle-aged man to a **** royal sister. However, Xu Rendong has been honestly staying in this position, not talking about promotion and salary increase, nor about changing departments.

Speaking of which, the other colleagues in the department are still his juniors. Liu Jiaqi was brought out by him since he was an intern, so he should be called Master. However, everyone including Liu Jiaqi couldn't get close to him. It's not that Xu Rendong is indifferent to others. On the contrary, Xu Rendong is conscientious and reliable at work, meticulous in his work, and very patient in teaching newcomers. There is hardly any fault in him.

It is precisely because there are no shortcomings that everyone feels that this person is difficult to approach.

He doesn't smoke, drink, stay up late, and be greedy. He doesn't have any bad habits, but he doesn't blame other people's preferences. Whether it's women, football, cars that men love to talk about, or gossip, weight loss, shopping that women love to talk about, if you say anything to him, he will look at you seriously with those deep and calm eyes, Listen carefully to you, and then... no more.

He doesn't seem interested in anything.

He doesn't even use emojis on WeChat!

Naturally, everyone in the department turned away from him. Even the girls in other departments of the company who coveted his beauty, after being sullen by his various polite and estranged straight men's manipulations, also said that the male **** should be honest and be a **** in the sky, I will wait for mortals. It's really unbearable.

It can only be viewed from a distance and cannot be harassed. It is a person like Xu Rendong.

However, it was Xu Rendong who actually posted an emoticon in the work group "I'm so angry, but I still have to keep laughing (crossed out) work makes me happy.jpg".

Everyone was so horrified that their first reaction was not "Oh my God, Xu Rendong also collects emojis" but "Fuck Xu Rendong's account, it must not be me!"

Until the next day, everyone scrutinized and found that it was not the boss who stole Xu Rendong's mobile phone last night, and then realized that Xu Rendong seemed to be a little different from before.

Liu Jiaqi felt the deepest feeling about this. Because when she asked someone to order milk tea, Xu Rendong actually expressed that she wanted to see the menu!

When Xu Rendong took her mobile phone and browsed the takeaway interface, Liu Jiaqi was moved to tears. OMG! It turns out that Xu Rendong also drinks milk tea!

"This... what is Dragon Ball?" Xu Rendong's question interrupted the lasagna tears in Liu Jiaqi's brain.

Liu Jiaqi glanced at the phone: "Oh, this is the ingredient in milk tea, it's a kind of... uh, something similar to pearls."

Xu Rendong asked again: "What about Hantian and Aiyu?"

Liu Jiaqi explained to him one by one. After listening to Xu Rendong, he thought about it carefully, ordered all the ingredients to add, and then returned the phone to her: "Okay."

Liu Jiaqi saw that he wanted to try everything like a child, and couldn't help showing an old mother's smile: "If you want all of them, you can order this-this cup of 'everything' It's got everything, but it's cheaper than splitting!"

It became "everything".

Xu Rendong's palms were warm and dry, and Liu Jiaqi was suddenly touched by him, and her whole body seemed to be electrocuted. Until Xu Rendong sat back in the chair and continued to work, the delicate and soft touch on the back of her hand still lingered.

"Fuck..." Liu Jiaqi was secretly shocked, "Why are you so flirtatious all of a sudden!"

Liu Jiaqi finally calmed down and returned to her desk. The phone vibrated, and she received a red envelope from Xu Rendong, marked with milk tea money, and added a thank you.

Liu Jiaqi looked at the red envelope pattern behind Xu Rendong's name and couldn't help but took a screenshot.

My God! Xu Rendong actually gave me a red envelope!

Everyone feels that the red envelope function is insulated from Xu Rendong. Not to mention grabbing red envelopes in departmental groups, even the boss of the company at the company's New Year's Eve gave out the sunshine award based on the number of heads, this worldly expert refused to click. Because everyone is estranged from him and has almost no money dealings with him, red envelopes do not exist.

And now, he actually sent me money for milk tea!

I just want to send a circle of friends to record it!

Of course, Liu Jiaqi is very reserved. Instead of posting a high-profile Moments, she shared the incident with her younger sisters at the same time. However, as a male **** who does not eat human fireworks, the story of Xu Rendong drinking milk tea quickly spread throughout the company. Some people even ran quietly outside the department, and through a gap in the middle of the frosted glass door, secretly observed whether Xu Rendong really drank milk tea.

In this regard, Xu Rendong was completely oblivious. He just felt that the milk tea was too sweet, and the ingredients in it were even sweeter. He glanced secretly at Liu Jiaqi's table, thinking that it's no wonder that Liu Jiaqi's milk tea only has one type of pearl added.

Liu Jiaqi was fighting emoticons with her little sister when she suddenly noticed the gaze from a distance. Looking up, it was actually Xu Rendong. The eyes of the two met, and the corners of Xu Rendong's mouth twitched slightly, forming a beautiful arc. He seemed a little shy and turned his head away quickly. Liu Jiaqi's heart exploded immediately.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Liu Jiaqi bowed her head in spring affection, flipped her fingers, and excitedly reported to her little sister: Did senior suddenly fall in love with me hahahahahaha!

However, Xu Rendong's heart at this time is actually embarrassing.

Why every time I peek at others, I will be discovered... Even Joe is naturally sharp, how can even Jiaqi be so powerful?

Xu Rendong thought about it and clicked on Liu Jiaqi's circle of friends. The contents from top to bottom are: ah ah ah this is delicious, ah ah ah that is delicious, ah ah ah are delicious.

Xu Rendong recalled Lian Qiao's appearance at the barbecue stall, "Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, I want all of them." He thinks that this is the keen insight that people who love to eat have exercised in the process of long-term foraging. After all, they have to look around and listen to all directions when they walk on the road, so that they can find the best nearby food at the first time. food store.

Well, very reasonable.

At this time, Wang Xiaogang, who passed by Xu Rendong's desk and glanced at him unintentionally: What the hell? ! Isn't this Jiaqi's circle of friends? !

Xu Rendong is actually watching Liu Jiaqi's circle of friends? !

Wang Xiaogang suppressed his excitement, quietly returned to his seat, quietly took out his mobile phone, and quietly announced his Find.

Liu Jiaqi: "Ah ah ah ah!"

Gu Xufeng: "Ah ah ah ah?"

The isolated Xu Rendong suddenly felt the strange atmosphere around him, he raised his head suspiciously, and the other three immediately put down their mobile phones and started typing on the keyboard with a solemn expression.

Xu Rendong: "…" Is it because I'm nervous?

It's okay, they won't kill me anyway. This is the rule of law society.

Thinking so at ease, Xu Rendong drank the overly sweet milk tea and continued the work at hand.

Today is Friday. The boss didn't know something good happened, so he came over at four o'clock and announced that everyone could go back early if there was nothing to do. Xu Rendong's work at hand was almost done. Seeing that his colleagues were still happily playing with their mobile phones, he said hello to everyone and left the company.

It was early summer, the sun was shining, and it was hot. Xu Rendong went to the underground garage to get the car, but the temperature in the car could not drop for a while. He was soon sweating.

Xu Rendong slightly opened the car window and let the warm wind blow in. The trees on the urban road are mottled, and the June sunshine shines through the gaps between the leaves and hits the windshield for a while, and shines into Xu Rendong's eyes, making him a little dizzy. He heard that a cicada had begun to call, and when he knew it, he was suddenly in a good mood.

He remembered running and playing on the lawn in the yard with his friends in the welfare home when he was a child.

It was very young, and he hadn't noticed that he was the one no one wanted to adopt. He was very happy back then, and he didn't think he was any different from others. He also didn't feel that the little friends who lacked hands and feet, had crooked facial features, and couldn't even speak were different from him.

It was a good time.

It's like a lifetime.

In front of the traffic light, Xu Rendong stopped the car. He looked at the beating countdown and sighed softly.

A young couple scoffed across the zebra crossing. The girl smiled brightly and jumped up to hit the boy on the head. The boy ducked his head and ducked, smiling all over his face, but from time to time he pulled the girl a little, pampered and complained, "Be careful!" Look at the car!

Xu Rendong's eyes couldn't help following them, until the car behind him honked the horn impatiently.

He came back to his senses and hurriedly started the car. But suddenly noticed a fruit shop on the side of the road.

With a move in her heart, Xu Rendong hardly hesitated, turned around and stopped in front of the fruit shop. Not long after, he settled the bill and returned to the car with a chubby watermelon.

He likes watermelon, he likes the sweetness that is fresh and watery. He liked to eat watermelon when he was a child in the orphanage, but the condition of the orphanage was not so good, and each child could only be given a small piece of watermelon. He always wished he could hold half a watermelon and eat it with a spoon, and this wish continued until he grew up.

After economic independence, although he has the money to buy watermelons, he has encountered a new problem: he can't eat that much by himself.

Even if it is a small watermelon, he usually can only eat half of it, and the other half can only be put in the refrigerator. But even if the watermelon he took out of the refrigerator returned to room temperature, he would have diarrhea after eating it. His stomach has always been weak.

In fact, not only watermelon, but also food. Eating alone, ordering one dish is too monotonous, and two dishes cannot be eaten. This state is bad and makes him feel very lonely.

But it's different now.

Place the watermelon in the passenger seat, Xu Rendong sent Lian Qiao a WeChat message: I bought a watermelon, do you want to eat it?

After waiting for a while, even Joe didn't reply. Xu Rendong thought for a while, put the seat belt on the watermelon, and then started the car and drove towards the apartment. However, when he returned to the apartment with the watermelon in his arms, Lian Qiao, who used to reply in seconds, still did not reply.

He looked at the time, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon. Even Joe couldn't sleep until this point even if he slept late, did he go out?

Xu Rendong sent another message: Are you at home?

The green and black watermelon was quietly placed on the table, Xu Rendong stared at the watermelon for a long time, picked up the phone again, and even Qiao still did not reply. He was suddenly a little uneasy, got up and walked out of the house, walked to Lian Qiao's door and knocked on the door.

"Lian Qiao? Lian Qiao are you there?"

Still no response.

The feeling of unease became stronger and stronger, Xu Rendong dialed the voice call, and the screen showed that the other party was waiting to answer. But a few minutes later, the opposite is still like a stone sinking into the sea, and there is no news. Xu Rendong looked at Lian Qiao's avatar on the screen, and then looked at the closed door, and suddenly had a terrible thought in his heart.

—Could it be that even Joe entered the elevator again?

No no no, after entering the elevator, the time outside stops flowing. Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, this person will not disappear, and will not even notice any abnormality.

Unless—

Unless—he's in trouble!

In the warm and bright June day, Xu Rendong was like falling into an ice cave in an instant.

The author has something to say:

Lian Qiao: You order milk tea and don't take me with you! I'm ignoring you! (error)

The girl is not a cannon fodder, she has not many scenes, she is purely funny, don't worry.
