like the abyss

Lu Yuan looked back at Zheng Jiran in a daze.

The word "uncle" was too far away from him, so far away that Lu Yuan couldn't even immediately understand what it represented.This concrete noun becomes an incomprehensible abstraction, strange as an invisible void due to intangibility.Lu Yuan thought wildly for a while before he realized who this person suddenly appeared in front of him.

He is Zheng Wanqiong's younger brother.

The name Zheng Wanqiong appeared very frequently in his life recently, Lu Yuan thought, but didn't speak.

He had never been in contact with the characters of the Zheng family, and he didn't know what kind of role Zheng Jiran played in it, so the words "little uncle" were really hard to pronounce.Zheng Jiran didn't mind too much, his smile was still gentle, and his whole body was full of introverted strength of a mature man. The gaze he cast on Lu Yuan was not malicious, but his sense of presence was particularly distinct, with a faint elusive scrutiny.

The silent room was suddenly broken by the ringing of the mobile phone.

Bai Ruan and Lu Yuan shook the phone, looked at Zheng Jiran, "Excuse me, I'm going to answer the phone."

Zheng Jiran nodded, "It's okay."

As soon as he left, only Lu Yuan and Zheng Jiran were left in the room.

Lu Yuan looked into Zheng Jiran's eyes through the lens.It is probably the gene of the Zheng family. Zheng Jiran's pupils are also light in color, and the two pairs of brown pupils looking at each other are inexplicably similar.

Zheng Jiran looked at it for a while, then suddenly chuckled, "Don't be nervous."

Lu Yuan smiled, lowered his eyes and drank water.

This person is very transparent, with a strong momentum but does not give people a sense of oppression. He does not look like a shrewd and capable businessman, but rather a scholar who is ignorant of the world.

He remained silent, Zheng Jiran was still good-tempered, "I'm afraid you won't come, so I have to ask Xiaobai not to tell you, now it seems that I was wrong."

This is to explain for Bai Ru'an.

The waiters came in with a tray, laid out the tableware and dishes lightly, and exited one by one in a well-trained manner without any unnecessary movements.

The phone in his pocket vibrated. Bai Ruan hadn't come back for so long, Lu Yuan already had an idea in his mind, and opened his small notebook to make a note for Bai Ruan.

No wonder I was so guilty that I didn't dare to look at him just now, it's good, I sold him.

Lu Yuan was thinking about how to deal with Bai Ruan, but he didn't show it at all on his face, he just looked at Zheng Jiran, "Now I know."

Zheng Jiran added water to him and handed it over, "You and Xiaobai have a good relationship?"

Lu Yuan took the water glass and said "Hmm", "Are you familiar with him?"

Zheng Jiran served him dishes with serving chopsticks, blinked and smiled, "He didn't tell you, I can't tell."

Lu Yuan slightly blocked his movement, "You eat, I will do it myself."

Zheng Jiran filled another bowl of soup, but didn't hand it to him, "Then don't use honorifics."

After speaking, both of them froze for a moment.

Lu Yuan pursed his lips, a little embarrassed, "Okay."

***

Lu Yuan kept a cold face on purpose when he got home.

Bai Ruan ran so simply that he didn't even leave his car behind. As a last resort, Lu Yuan could only agree with Zheng Jiran to send him home.

Zheng Jiran is the kind of person who is very easy to get along with. He is well-bred, knowledgeable, and behaves well. He will not be too intimate, nor will he appear unfamiliar due to politeness.Lu Yuan was mostly taken care of by him for this meal, so when Zheng Jiran asked Lu Yuan to take him around City C in the car, Lu Yuan couldn't refuse.

Lu Yuan counted a hundred ways to slice Bai Ruan to open the door.

The light was on in the living room, and the culprit was sitting on the sofa playing games.A plate of potato chips and fruit is placed on the coffee table, a long straw is inserted into the Coke cup, and ice cubes are placed on the other side, so you can reach for it.

Lu Yuan glanced at the screen, it was "Sekiro".

This game was only released recently, Bai Ruan played for less than two hours, and the first boss has not yet been defeated.Lu Yuan has cleared the level, and all levels are readable.Bai Ru'an's own account was autistic after being abused by the boss, so he simply logged into Lu Yuan's account, intending to experience the thrill of being a boss.

However, the flaws in the operation cannot be made up for by the equipment. The protagonist is as stiff as a human stick. "Dangdang" was hit twice and fell to the ground.

Bai Ru'an was obviously very familiar with this set of procedures. He was about to be resurrected by manipulating the controller, but when the controller was pulled away from behind, he turned his head and saw that Lu Yuan's face was uglier than the boss in the game.

Bai Ru'an trembled.

Lu Yuan sneered, threw away the handle, pressed his head and turned his face back to the position facing the screen, "Can you see how the word 'death' is written?"

The voice was cold and cruel.

Bai Ru'an trembled as if suffering from a stroke.

Lu Yuan was too lazy to play tricks with him, let go of his hand and turned off the screen, sat down and poured a glass of Coke.

Bai Ru'an handed over ice cubes in a doggy manner, "Are you full?"

Lu Yuan looked at him expressionlessly.

Bai Ru'an tentatively said, "I think he's good..."

Lu Yuan folded his hands on his chest, "Oh? Is it better to meet relatives or to have a blind date?"

Bai Ru'an struggled to death, "...any, whatever, I heard that he was raised outside all the time, and he didn't even have the family tree of Zheng's family. Calculating his age probably has nothing to do with Zheng Guotao, otherwise he wouldn't be doing such a thing when he was in the top position. Tragic..."

When it came to gossip, Bai Ruan's eyes became brighter and brighter, "Zheng Guotao's three sons raised by him, the eldest fought with him the most, but he packed up the whole family and threw them to country r; He was the best gangster at first, but later he used this little credit to mess around, and he didn't save any face and just sent it in; After being cleaned up by him for a while, now I am obediently receiving money to live, and I dare not make trouble at all."

Lu Yuan was unmoved.

Bai Ru'an fell back on the sofa, "The three sons were not as good as the other, and the money they saved for half their lives was finally given away to someone else. Do you think Zheng Guotao was pissed off?"

Lu Yuan threw the spicy potato chips on the table to him, "So you are pushing me into the fire pit?"

Bai Ru'an turned over, leaned on the pillow on his side, tore open the package, and handed a piece to Lu Yuan, "You have met real people, who knows if there is any inside story about those things. And I just want you to meet, you don't like it Never mind."

Seeing that Lu Yuan picked it up, he smiled again, "Are you going to meet another one tomorrow?"

Lu Yuan picked up another pillow and threw it on his face.

Bai Ru'an didn't dodge, took a pillow, and was a little confused, "Missing? Then this one?"

Lu Yuan resisted the urge to kick him off the sofa and thought for a while, "Where did you meet Zheng Jiran?"

Bai Ru'an threw away the pillow, "Oh, they have a cooperation with us."

He squeezed some potato chips and tried to feed them to Lu Yuan, "Speaking of which, Zheng Jiran and I are of the same generation when we get along. I didn't expect him to be your uncle..."

Lu Yuan showed his white teeth.

Before Lu Yuan could bite him, Bai Ru'an quickly withdrew his hand, "I was wrong! I'll call him Uncle Zheng next time!"
