For the whole morning, Jiang Nanhui never sat in an office chair, and has been helping Team Leader Liu run through the procedures for the new column.At noon, Cheng Xiaofeng helped him pack the box lunch. During the lunch break, Jiang Nanhui finally sat back in his office, staring at a thick stack of news materials that needed to be sorted out with a bitter expression on his face.

The office chair has pulleys. Cheng Xiaofeng turned around and kicked his feet, slid to Jiang Nanhui's side, and said, "You are very active at work today."

Lifting the lid of the lunch box, Jiang Nanhui took a mouthful of rice and began typing on the keyboard: "I'm not active at work one day."

"I mean your overall state." Cheng Xiaofeng said, "It's different from when you first joined the job."

Jiang Nanhui was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Probably because of the high-intensity work in our department."

"Whether you like it or not, there is so much work and you have to finish it." Jiang Nanhui stared at the computer screen, "There is no choice to be a worker. If this is the case, it will be a day of suffering and a day of laughter, so why not think more about being happy Let’s make ourselves more optimistic.”

"Look, what I'm referring to is this change in your mentality." Cheng Xiaofeng said, elbowing Jiang Nanhui, "Do you still remember when you first came to the TV station, I told you that I couldn't get through this day?" Yes, the work density is so high, and you rush to the scene to grab news all day long, how did you reply to me?"

Jiang Nanhui stopped typing, recalled for a moment, Cheng Xiaofeng shook his head, he really didn't remember.Cheng Xiaofeng curled his lips and said, "You said, "Go through it, life is just muddling along." "

After eating the boxed lunch and making a cup of coffee in the tea room, Jiang Nanhui stood by the window and watched the busy traffic in the city, and slowly let himself relax.I used to stare at a scene for a long time, and my mood would always be unconsciously depressed, and it was difficult to quickly withdraw from the negative state afterwards.

But now, apart from the peace of mind, Jiang Nanhui found that there seemed to be a hint of expectation hidden deep in his heart.

What are you looking forward to?Is it about life?Or about something that is about to happen?or someone?The coffee in his hand radiated heat and gradually cooled down. Jiang Nanhui's thoughts wandered until the phone vibrated in his pocket, which pulled his attention back.

It was Cen Hanluo's message.It has to be Xiao Cen: Why don't you get off work? I don't care about cooking or working. 【frown】

With a smile on his lips, Jiang Nanhui replied immediately, JNH: The countdown is five hours.

It has to be Xiaocen: This is not five hours, it is almost five centuries. 【split】

JNH: Come on, movies and taro ice cream are beckoning to you.

It has to be Xiao Cen: Nan Hui also waved at me.

There is no "waving" in Jiang Nanhui's collection of emoticons, so he found one online, and after sending it, Cen Hanluo came back with two emojis that come with the WeChat system, which are two little penguins.

It has to be Xiao Cen: [jump] [circle]

After getting off work in the evening, Jiang Nanhui packed up his things and left on time, with a USB flash drive in his camera bag, and took the rest of the work home and finished it on the weekend.Arriving at the city center by subway, according to the location sent by Cen Hanluo, he walked to Xinhengda Advertising Company on foot. He just stood at the entrance of the company. Looking through the glass door, Jiang Nanhui saw Cen Hanluo carrying a bag on one shoulder, rushing to the ground. Running towards him from the elevator on the first floor.

Stopping in front of Jiang Nanhui, Cen Hanluo raised his hands to smooth his messy hair and said, "Hi."

Jiang Nanhui smiled and said, "Hi."

"My arrangement is like this." Cen Hanluo said bluntly, "I want to eat fried chicken, let's go to the second floor of the shopping mall in front to buy two fried chickens, and then go up to the ninth floor. I ordered a private restaurant. Cinema, you can watch movies on demand, and the environment is very good.”

You don't need to think about it yourself when you go out to play, someone has arranged everything for you. For someone like Jiang Nanhui who is not very good at making travel plans, Cen Hanluo is simply a blessing.

Cen Hanluo asked: "Is this arrangement okay?"

"That's great." Jiang Nanhui replied, "But we have already agreed, the movie is my invitation."

Cen Han quickly quoted: "180 yuan."

Jiang Nanhui lowered his head and used his mobile phone to transfer money to Cen Hanluo, while operating, he asked, "What movie are you going to take me to watch?"

"Watch one I like very much." Cen Hanluo replied: "You can guess the genre of this movie."

Because of this sentence, most of Jiang Nanhui's thoughts were on Cen Hanluo, guessing his preferences when he was on the road, guessing when buying fried chicken, and guessing when he walked into the movie theater.I really like...romance movies?Spy movie?Police film or literary film?Jiang Nanhui was extremely curious, and sat on the sofa chair in the private theater with fried chicken, popcorn, and Master Kong's green tea, waiting for Cen Hanluo to reveal the answer for him.

"Guess it?" Cen Hanluo asked.

Jiang Nanhui said, "Is it a literary film?"

Cen Hanluo smiled and said, "I guessed that you would guess that I like literary films."

Jiang Nanhui said: "It seems that I guessed wrong."

Cen Hanluo threw a popcorn into his mouth: "Do you still remember that when we were in cram school, you often read science fiction novels during the break?"

Jiang Nanhui looked at Cen Hanluo, his expression froze for a moment.

"What does a crush like, always want to be the same as what he likes, as if this can shorten the distance with him." Cen Hanluo hugged the popcorn bucket with his left hand, and the fried chicken box with his right hand, hugging left and right looked very Fu, "You were revisiting "The Three-Body Problem". You told me that "The Three-Body Problem" is your favorite science fiction work, followed by "The Lost South."

Cen Hanluo turned his face and asked, "Do you have any impression?"

Jiang Nanhui replied slowly: "I really... like reading science fiction in high school."

Cen Hanluo smiled and said: "I read "Three-Body Problem" first, and then I became obsessed with various science fiction works. The second book I read was "The Lost South", but I bought the original English version, not the translated version. .”

"Because I was studying English at the time, and I was often alone, I had a lot of time to dig out the original book with the help of an English dictionary." Cen Hanluo said, "It took about a year, and I finally read the book after stumbling. After finishing the first part, my English level has improved a lot.”

"Later, I saw the movie adapted from the first "Annihilation" of "The Lost South" in Melbourne. After watching it, I liked it very much." The lights above his head were turned off, and the screen light was reflected on Cen Hanluo's face. He said to Jiang Nanhui, "The movie "Annihilation" is a sci-fi thriller, and it is very well adapted. If you have read this book, you may also like it."

Unfamiliar images are shown on the screen, but they evoke familiar memories. The words he read before are now presented in the form of movies. With the deepening of the plot, Jiang Nanhui is more and more able to recall his love for science fiction works in high school. He even remembered that he had fantasized about becoming a scientist when he grew up.

The mysterious area that fell into the earth can refract everything in the outside world, including cells, and the area allows these copied cells to freely combine to create creatures that are both beautiful and terrifying.Occasionally, "garden" appears on the screen, and occasionally "hell". There are many thought-provoking arguments and topics about life in the film. Cen Hanluo will discuss the plot with Jiang Nanhui from time to time, and the two chat very deeply.

At the end of the movie screening, Jiang Nanhui's portion of fried chicken was not missing.After Cen Hanluo left the private theater, when the starry sky and neon lights appeared in the field of vision, and the car horns and human voices came into his ears, Jiang Nanhui felt the reality again.

Cen Hanluo asked: "How is it, does it look good?"

"It's beautiful." Jiang Nanhui replied, "It's the first time I've watched this type of film. It's the same as but different from the experience I read when I read the text. It's very novel and exciting."

"The movie recommended to you happens to be your favorite too, which gives me a sense of accomplishment." Cen Hanluo walked beside Jiang Nanhui, looked at the road ahead with him, and said, "Nanhui, don't you think we are a good match? Is it? We have been getting along very well."

What Cen Hanluo said was the truth, Jiang Nanhui couldn't deny it.Cen Hanluo said: "We are both similar and complementary. There must be many things we like in common in life. Let's get to know and get along slowly, okay?"

Jiang Nanhui nodded in response: "Okay."

Cen Hanluo said: "If you like watching science fiction movies, I can recommend you a few more."

Jiang Nanhui still nodded: "Okay."

Cen Hanluo asked: "The facilities and environment of this private cinema are good, do we want to come here more often?"

Jiang Nanhui nodded for the third time: "Okay."

Facing the scorching evening wind, Cen Hanluo raised his head, clenched his hands into fists, raised his arms up to the sky, and shook happily: "YES, the goal has been achieved."

Jiang Nanhui turned his head when he heard this, and asked suspiciously, "What purpose?"

Cen Hanluo smiled and said, "I want to spend a long time with you."
