Generally, if you ask yourself a question, New Year's greetings tend to respond quickly, unlike today, where you stay silent for a long time, leaving only a little panting that you can't hide, which becomes more obvious after being transmitted by electromagnetic waves thousands of miles away. his ears.

This, on the contrary, confirmed his guess even more.

Yan Ruizhi didn't know why he was the one who blushed first, maybe because he couldn't see the other person's appearance now.

According to the social politeness of adults, he should give the other party a step down in an empathetic manner, take the initiative to hang up the phone, and wait for the other party to adjust before speaking.

But he just gave up this etiquette mode after thinking for a moment, and then asked: "Happy New Year?"

This time the other party finally responded, and replied in a very obedient whisper: "... hey."

"What were you up to just now?" Yan Ruizhi said calmly.

He heard a heavy muffled sound from the opposite side, wondering if it was the sound of He Nian throwing himself to bed.

After a while, his voice came muffledly: "Nothing."

Yan Ruizhi didn't speak.

Seeing that he didn't speak, He Nian naturally knew that he couldn't lie anymore, so he stammered and said, "Then don't be angry if I tell you."

"Have you made me less angry?" Yan Ruizhi said, "It's not bad this time."

This New Year's greeting paused for a while before sighing: "You, you, don't you all..."

He gritted his teeth for the last time: "Didn't you guess everything?"

Yan Ruizhi originally wanted to make fun of him when he insisted on asking, but it was another matter when He Nian actually admitted it. He paused and decided to change the topic: "Didn't you report the progress every day before?"

The implication is why didn't you say anything today, is there something wrong.

He Nian followed his words: "Today is the last day, I ran with Mr. Hao all day and didn't have time to rest."

He explained in a good voice: "Then fell asleep yesterday, and the phone didn't have any battery left, and I just recharged it when I came back."

Although Yan Ruizhi didn't come to Xingshi to inquire about the crime, but he had to say that He Nian's explanation made him feel better after being a little bit embarrassed.

Just thinking about He Nian running around with Hao Shuai all day, his heart softened: "Okay, then—"

"Then when I came back, I asked him a question," He Nian's tone relaxed, "and he gave me something."

Yan Ruizhi asked, "What?"

"He sent me the video of your first appearance at the "Nostalgia" press conference." He Nian said.

He was taken aback, this was all a few years ago.

However, it was also reminded by He Nian that he didn't like to be lively, and since his success, he seldom attended as frequently as this time.

The press conference was very long. He faced all questioning questions and shots by himself, blocking them one by one with his works and strength. He calmly and calmly waited until no one in the audience could ask other valuable questions. Standing up, the expression and state are the same as before, still calm, with a straight back, and he has not been knocked down in the slightest.

However, in terms of some problems and coping methods, they are indeed learning materials, and there is nothing wrong with Hao Shuai giving them to him.

It's the current relationship between the two, and He Nian watched his own video material for several hours, Yan Ruizhi's face was a little hot, and after thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong.

"So he shows you a video study, you are there, you are..."

He suddenly felt that the young man was somewhat bloody in some respects: "Is that what you're doing?"

"I don't want to either!" He Nian quickly explained, "I was really serious about studying at the beginning."

He continued, and repeated several words that Yan Ruizhi said at the press conference: "Look, I have written down everything you said."

"And then?" Yan Ruizhi was not fooled this time, and continued to ask coldly.

"I think you were so handsome back then, really," He Nian saw that one road was blocked and immediately changed, "especially when you saw your back when you finally got up and left."

Being caught in a video boasting, Yan Ruizhi's face is not as thick as He Nian's, and he finally couldn't listen to it: "Okay."

"Boss Yan, are you angry?" He Nian hurriedly picked up the boy.

"What do you say?"

He Nian's voice immediately became aggrieved: "I want to say that I have never had this before, do you believe it?"

Yan Ruizhi frowned slightly, but said nothing.

He actually believed it, but he always felt that if he gave him the pole, He Nian would be able to climb up to the sky immediately.

But it is obvious that He Nian has cultivated to the point where he can climb along the air without a pole, and before Yan Ruizhi replied, he continued: "Really, I have never been like this before, I have never been like this, I just... ..."

He said lightly, "I miss you so much."

Yan Ruizhi forgot to be ashamed and angry, and just listened to him continue talking.

"I really didn't think about it that much at first, but it wasn't until I finished watching that I realized that my mind was full of the back view of you standing up at the end."

"I've been thinking just now that you were like this at that time. You were obviously not much older than me at that time, yet you could do this by yourself." He Nian's voice murmured, "But at that time you obviously..."

He paused, swallowed a few words before continuing: "The scale is obviously not large, how long have you worked hard to be able to produce the finished product so quickly?"

After all, He Nian knew that he had dropped out of school, and combined with the time, he should be able to figure out how old he was at that time, and how much time he spent making new works.

Of course he himself has not forgotten those days. He couldn't sleep for a few hours a day, his work and rest were upside down day and night, and his working conditions were even worse. His current stomach problems also came from that time.

Later, after Hao Shuai returned to China, he asked his family to rent half a floor of the office building, and then stayed with him without sleep, and finally got better step by step.

But Yan Ruizhi has always disliked reminiscing bitterness and thinking sweetly, and he also doesn’t think it’s such a great thing to show off the embarrassment of the past to highlight the current success: “It’s nothing, it’s all over.”

Originally, I came here to pull He Nian into doing bad things, why did I start to comfort him now?

Yan Ruizhi thought belatedly.

"And what those people said is so ugly, you can't be angry at all."

Yan Ruizhi felt that it didn't matter: "It was a new company at that time, and it was normal for no one to believe that we could do it."

"So you are so handsome!" He Nian suddenly brought the topic back, and repeated it sincerely, "I really like it, the more I look at it, the more I like it."

Yan Ruizhi pursed his lips slightly, and told himself that he should be used to such straightforward and enthusiastic New Year greetings.

"Then I heard your voice, stared at the video in a daze, and couldn't help but... missed you." He Nian admitted his mistake frankly, "It's all my fault, I'm too impulsive, don't be angry."

After talking to him like this, Yan Ruizhi's original anger disappeared, and he was a little helpless, not knowing what to do with the New Year: "Forget it."

"And, Mr. Yan."

He Nian's voice suddenly became louder, as if he wanted to whisper something, and subconsciously pressed the receiver tightly like a child.

Yan Ruizhi only felt that the other party seemed to be talking in his ear, and heard him say with a little grievance: "You just agreed to my pursuit, and you threw me so far away. I really can't keep calm."

"Although it's true that today I... can't hold back, but if there is another opportunity, I may not guarantee that I can really hold back."

That kind of frank confession came again, even though they hadn't met each other, and even though it had been a long time since they separated last time, Yan Ruizhi's heart still beat uncontrollably.

"I will look at the time before going to bed every day, and then grind you, and let you say good night to me, so that I can get through another day."

"Yan Ruizhi, I really want to see you."

Even though it is distorted, the voice of New Year's greetings is still clear.

Yan Ruizhi felt the vibration in his chest, and after a while, he gave a soft "hmm".

"What should I do?" He Nian suddenly became annoyed again.

After all, Yan Rui lost his temper a long time ago after saying so much just now, and asked him, "What's wrong?"

"At first you called me, I thought I was caught, and I was almost scared." He Nian coughed, "But I told you this just now, so what's the matter now."

"........."

Although it was the same two "then what", Yan Ruizhi still felt that his ears were hurt: "Happy New Year!"

"Hey!"

"You really—" Yan Ruizhi didn't know how to lose his temper.

"I was wrong! I have no shame!" He Nian immediately behaved, and explained pitifully in the next sentence, "But you are also a man, and this kind of thing is beyond my control!"

"And the ups and downs will make you sick!" He Nian simply covered his face with a wall, which was astonishingly thick, "President Yan, I'm only 20 years old!"

"..."

God damn ups and downs.

Yan Ruizhi realized that since he met He Nian, he thought that he had been calm and thorough in dealing with people and things, but he still didn't hold back after all, and cursed, "Forget it if you suffocate!"

"That won't work," He Nian said seriously, "I have to think about you."

Now I know the honorific title.

Yan Ruizhi couldn't bear it anymore, and especially hoped that He Nian would appear in front of him at this moment, so that he could give him a hard blow on the head: "Get out!"

He Nian didn't leave, didn't hang up the phone, and started coaxing him nicely.

When he coaxed "I was really just impulsive", Yan Ruizhi finally decided not to care about people younger than himself: "That's enough."

"I..." Even though he couldn't see his face, Yan Ruizhi could imagine He Nian's cautious appearance when he heard He Nian's slightly raised voice, wanting to see him but not daring to look at himself.

This kind of imagination made him relax his tone: "You can solve it yourself, I don't care."

"Hey." He Nian responded immediately, and then said, "Then why don't you hang up the phone?"

"Wait a minute." He paused suddenly, then lowered his voice.

"..." Yan Ruizhi's face, which had recovered with difficulty, burned again.

It was as if what he had lost over the years had to be returned to him bit by bit, but he never thought that he would experience this.

In other words, young people are really unrestrained.

He wanted to scold He Nian for being shameless, wanted to fuck off, wanted to hang up the phone neatly, but his hand slipped, and he accidentally pressed the loudspeaker when he wanted to hang up.

The voice suddenly amplified, Yan Ruizhi was startled, and heard some small, small, but still blushing voices.

The New Year has always been "up", the voice is a little different from usual, but after being processed by the handset of the mobile phone, it becomes more magnetic, and it is a little dumb when it is emotional.

"Yan Ruizhi." There was a tremor in his tone, the same as in many long nights.

It's just that He Nian would kiss his shoulder blades and hug him at that time, but now he can't do it, so he can only call his name one by one.

The person mentioned was stunned, and didn't bother to hang up again.

He heard He Nian's breathing become thicker and heavier, making it difficult for him to ignore, and it became strange to himself.

From the very beginning, he was able to agree to maintain that relationship with He Nian, which proved that he was not without feelings, and it was not that he would not be affected by the other party at certain moments.

Yan Ruizhi buried himself in the quilt, not daring to move, but he couldn't muster the strength to press the button to hang up.

In the end, when he himself felt a little dizzy, he suddenly heard a faint hum from the receiver.

Then, He Nian called him hoarsely.

"sorry."

The apology was sincere this time, but it changed its flavor once it reached his ears.

He Nian said: "But it's okay, I will see you again soon."
