You can drink tea and mineral water as well. Seeing Han Shaochen's expression of agreement, Lin Yu quickly retorted, "That can't be called an apology. Of course, you have to drink something well and talk a little more. Do you want to take a bottle of water and leave?" "
Don't you just grab a bottle of water and go?Han Shaochen looked at Lin Yu with some doubts.
"Of course not!" Lin Yu understood the meaning in those eyes, "I said it was an apology, of course it should be more formal, and tell me where to go."
"I don't know, I haven't been there before." Han Shaochen couldn't resist, so he could only walk out of the school.
"Then Starbucks, come closer, and I'll take you to another store later." Lin Yu snapped his fingers with the other hand and quickly decided on their destination, but he was surprised that Han Shaochen hadn't been to these places.
Their school can almost be called an aristocratic school in this district. A group of students will spend money one by one, and Lin Yu's family is quite ordinary in terms of wealth, just because someone in the family works for the government, plus The game itself is also good enough, so it can be regarded as a good mix.
In order to prevent students from comparing each other, the school strictly stipulates that they must wear school uniforms. Although the family background cannot be seen from the clothes, the differences can still be seen from the decorations, shoes and socks, and stationery.Lin Yu always thought that everyone was similar, and he never paid attention to Han Shaochen's equipment. It was only then that he realized that his schoolbag and the like didn't seem to be the brands he usually used. There is not even a logo, but it is very clean, and it looks very comfortable with his handsome appearance.
Lin Yu looked at it secretly, but he didn't show it on his face, "I don't drink coffee at night. It's just a little hot today, so I'll have a Frappuccino. Would you like some dessert, blueberry cheese?"
"Drinks are fine." Han Shaochen actually didn't quite understand what he was saying, but he instinctively didn't want to expand the range of drinks to desserts.
When Lin Yu was ordering at the front desk, Han Shaochen looked at the price list and felt a little uneasy. What kind of drinks are these? One cup is enough for their family's meals for several days.But seeing Lin Yu casually opening his wallet seemed nothing at all, so Han Shaochen could only continue to put on a calm look and wait aside.
The two found a seat and sat down. Han Shaochen watched Lin Yu's movements without any trace, put the straw away himself, and said softly, "Thank you, brother."
"Don't be so polite, it's an apology." Lin Yu scratched his head, "Don't call me senior brother, I always feel a little silly, just call me by my name."
Han Shaochen nodded, but did not answer.
It's cold.
Lin Yu held the straw in his mouth and looked at Han Shaochen who was concentrating on drinking the Frappuccino. He felt that if it wasn't for the fact that the smoothie in the cup needed to melt slowly before he could finish drinking it, he would have finished a large glass in a minute and left. look.
Need to find a topic.
Lin Yu cleared his throat, "Speaking of which, I saw it on the red list posted at the school gate. You are the first in your grade in the entrance examination. For a top student like you, the first year of high school should be easy, right?"
"It's not easy." Han Shaochen replied seriously.
"Why is it not easy?" Lin Yu smiled. "Is it because I can't finish my homework or because there are too many remedial classes? I remember that when I was in the first year of high school, I always complained that I couldn't finish the homework. It was only in the third year of high school that I realized that it was all pediatrics."
"I can finish writing, but I didn't go to the tutoring class."
"Are you relying on yourself to maintain the first grade in your grade?" Lin Yu raised his eyebrows, "Is that because you bought a lot of tutorial books?"
"Isn't there a teacher in class?" Han Shaochen was also very surprised, "There are also after-school exercises in the textbook."
Han Shaochen occasionally read a few tutorial books in the library, but in his opinion, none of them can synthesize more knowledge points as well as the after-school exercises in the textbook. After using the formulas very proficiently, and looking at the topics in the tutorial, basically there is nothing that cannot be done.So what is the need to spend money on additional tutorials?
Probably Xueba is a person with super self-learning ability, which is different from the good grades piled up in the tutoring class. Lin Yu secretly sighed and couldn't help saying, "Your parents must be very smart."
Han Shaochen was taken aback for a moment, and after thinking about it, he said, "My mother is very powerful."
"That's no wonder. It seems that the son's IQ is largely inherited from his mother." Lin Yu laughed, "But my father is not bad."
Han Shaochen lowered his head and didn't make a sound, Lin Yu didn't care, "By the way, the general student union will absorb people with better academic performance or other outstanding abilities. Why haven't you seen you in the student union? No one came to look for you. Are you a member?"
"Yes, I declined."
"Can I ask why?" Lin Yu suddenly found that Han Shaochen didn't seem to be a talkative person. Explain the cause and effect clearly, but Han Shaochen only answered his question, without any intention of extending explanation.
"No time." Han Shaochen answered very simply.
"Cough." Lin Yu felt that it would be very annoying to ask such questions, "Do you think it's boring to sit here with me and drink, and it's a waste of your time?"
"No." Han Shaochen seemed a little surprised that he would ask such a question, and looked up at him, and there was no sign of impatience in his eyes, "You can go home later today."
"Hey," Lin Yu suddenly became happy, "Is this the first time you are drinking and chatting with others outside?"
Han Shaochen nodded.
"Won't it bother me to keep asking you questions?"
Han Shaochen shook his head.
"Is this the same way you chat with others?" Lin Yu is curious.
Han Shaochen thought about it carefully, "I haven't talked, I don't know."
"There are always people talking to you, don't they usually say a few words and then stop talking?" Lin Yu asked with a smile.
Han Shaochen frowned slightly, and nodded hesitantly, "Is there something wrong with me? How do you know?"
"Oh," Lin Yu patted the table lightly. "You talk too little. Even if someone brings up a topic, if you answer too simply, it will be difficult to continue the conversation. Do you want to make more friends?"
It was the first time for Han Shaochen to hear this kind of statement, and he felt that his mind was in a mess. He always felt that he had done something wrong, but he couldn't figure out why. He understood the last question, "Maybe I don't want to."
"Why?" Lin Yu was very surprised. He was not very happy when he saw Han Shaochen say that he had no friends.
"Some--just be afraid." Han Shaochen replied hesitantly, "And I don't have time."
"Can I ask why you're afraid? And what are you busy with? Why do you always say you don't have time?" Lin Yu asked carefully, "It's okay if it's not convenient for you to answer."
When Han Shaochen saw Lin Yu's focused eyes, although he couldn't understand the concern in it, he found that he was not too resistant to looking at and talking with Lin Yu, and wanted to say a few more words.He lowered his head and thought about it carefully, trying to organize the language, then raised his head and looked directly at Lin Yu before he said, "If you want to make friends, you need to chat and spend time with each other. I'm not good at talking with others, and I have to read tutoring in the library after school Books for self-study, and then I have to go home quickly to do housework, and I have to do homework and preview homework in the rest of the time, so I don’t have time to do other things.”
Lin Yu felt that the amount of information was a bit large, but there were more things he didn't understand, and he was afraid that he would accidentally say the wrong thing if he kept asking, so he picked a question that was not easy to say wrong, "Then why are you not in a hurry today? Are you home?"
"My mother said this morning that she won't come back tonight, so I don't have to hurry home and cook for us. I can sit here with you for a while." Han Shaochen replied calmly.
"You cook all the meals in your house? You do all the housework?" Lin Yu was really shocked, not to mention those classmates who have their own cooks at home, and he also hired part-time workers to cook and clean at his own home. Occasionally, his parents had Sora also cooks himself, but I have never heard of anyone around who asks their children to cook for their families.
"No, I usually do it when my mother is too busy. When she is on holiday, she is responsible for cooking and I am responsible for cleaning." Han Shaochen didn't think there was anything wrong at all.
Lin Yu touched his chin, and didn't ask stupidly why he didn't hire part-time workers. His rich second-generation friends might blurt it out.Questions involving the family economy are too private to ask further, and Lin Yu keenly found that Han Shaochen didn't mention a word about his father's situation, but just sighed in general: "You are very good, I can't even fry eggs. Neither."
Han Shaochen blinked slightly when he heard the words, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly, "That's because you have no chance to do it."
It was only then that Lin Yu realized that the person opposite had a pair of beautiful eyes, and the long eyelashes flickered like a fan. The smile on his face made him alive, and he first noticed that The feeling of loneliness deep in his eyes seemed to have dissipated a lot.It's just that this faint smile was only short-lived, and soon returned to the usual expressionless face.
"Hey, you look good when you smile. You should smile more when you have nothing to do." Lin Yu said with an exaggerated grin, "Maybe even if you don't have time to spend with your friends, you can spend more time in school." A classmate who can talk a few words."
"You look good when you smile." Han Shaochen looked at Lin Yu's big white teeth and murmured in a strange way.From the first time he saw Lin Yu, he often talked to himself with a warm smile, just like the sun, shining into his long-closed heart.
Chapter 6
Han Shaochen is rarely willing to look at others. Even though he later learned that one of the symptoms of autistic patients is lack of eye contact, and tried hard to change his habit, it is still difficult to look at others directly.Before meeting Lin Yu, the only person he could look at and say a few words was Han Jing.
I don't know if it's because Lin Yu blocked his emotional outburst, or because of Lin Yu that he was sorry for the first time, or because of Lin Yu's sincere and hearty smile, in short, he has a second person who can face up to him.This action, which may seem very ordinary to Lin Yu, is very rare to Han Shaochen.
Lin Yu was Han Shaochen's first and only friend when he was a student. No one thought of this "only" in their hearts at the time.
Of course, Han Shaochen didn't expect that they could sit together and chat for less than half a year. He never knew that the reason why Lin Yu was so free in the second semester of his senior year was because he had already applied for a foreign university and didn't need to take the college entrance examination. , You only need to wait until the end of the exam to get a high school diploma.Lin Yu didn't mention it specifically, and always felt that it was like showing off when he mentioned it inexplicably.
As a result, the two didn't realize that they had to face such a distant separation until Lin Yu graduated.
Before that, Lin Yu would always appear in the library, and Han Shaochen would still look through his reference books or other information books in the library.The library is the point where the two of them meet the most. In addition, they occasionally meet in the cafeteria or on the playground and chat a few words.
Gradually, Lin Yu knew that Han Shaochen relied on the first grade in his grade to reduce tuition fees and scholarships to subsidize his family.His family conditions are not ordinary, but poor. Han Shaochen doesn't even have a phone at home, and he never needs to use it.This is incredible to Lin Yu, but in this modern society, there are such people and families.
And when Han Shaochen talked about these things by chance, he didn't feel embarrassed at all, which made Lin Yu a little admired, and he was more willing to take care of this taciturn and motivated young man.As for Han Shaochen's parents, Lin Yu never asked them what they did and how they lived so poorly.It's just that from Han Shaochen's conversation, he found that his family seems to have only his mother and no father, so he didn't dare to ask questions, for fear of making others sad.
The contact with Lin Yu also brought many changes to Han Shaochen's campus life.
One of them, Wang Qi didn't come here on purpose to look for trouble. Brother Lin, whom he thought was just a temporary meeting, had a close relationship with Han Shaochen, and every time he met Lin Yu, the other party would give him a serious look. Let him not dare to find fault again.
Second, some girls who had ignored Han Shaochen for a long time began to talk to him again, intentionally or unintentionally inquiring about his relationship with Lin Yu and some information about Lin Yu.However, Han Shaochen's attitude towards these questions has always been very cold. Although he can't ignore them, he can't say anything interesting, which makes the girls even more displeased with him.
Third, Han Jing also noticed a small change in her son.Sometimes on the days when she didn't go home for dinner, Han Shaochen seemed very happy after returning from get off work.Although that face was still expressionless, one could feel the relaxed atmosphere around him.Once or twice was enough, and it was like this for two or three months in a row, which made her curious.
Until one day, when Han Jing came home at night, she found her son sitting quietly on the sofa with a book in his hand, but in a daze. Chen, what's wrong?"
Han Shaochen looked up at his mother, and replied in a daze, "I don't know, I feel uncomfortable." Her son became less emotional as he got older, and he rarely had emotional ups and downs after entering middle school. She was both curious and worried, so she sat down and grabbed Han Shaochen's shoulders and asked, "Come and tell Mom what's going on, I was very happy to see you a while ago, I haven't had time to ask you, why do I suddenly feel uncomfortable today?" Yes. Did you meet someone, or did you have a girlfriend?"
"Huh? That's right," Han Jing laughed first, "I have to tell my mother when I have a girlfriend."
"I don't have a girlfriend." Han Shaochen replied honestly, "I have a friend who told me today that he would study abroad after graduation, but he didn't tell me. I asked him today if it was true, and he admitted it. Then I don't feel well, but I don't know why."
When Han Jing heard this, she was delighted at first, but also felt sorry for her son, and said with emotion: "I am very glad that you can make friends. After you have friends, it is normal for you to be happy or sad because of some actions or words of your friends. You used to be reluctant to get in touch with people. I hope you can make more friends and talk more, but you can’t control your words and deeds at school. You can only watch you go by yourself. In fact, my mother is a little sad, but I can’t Putting pressure on you. You finally have a friend after you went to high school, I didn’t ask you before, sometimes you seem to be in a good mood, is that because of this friend?”
"Probably." Han Shaochen was silent for a while, "Then why am I in a bad mood today?"
"Because studying abroad is such a big thing, you know it from other people, probably because you don't think the other party pays enough attention to you?" Han Jing tried to figure out the teenager's psychology, "However, if you don't mention this aspect in your usual chats, It's normal for him not to tell you about the topic, so don't be unhappy."
Han Shaochen suddenly seemed to relax a bit, "It's true that I didn't mention it."
"Then when you asked him, was he willing to tell?" Han Jing asked, "How did he admit it?"
"No." Han Shaochen thought about it for a while, "he just patted his head and said, oh, there is indeed such a thing, otherwise why would I be so free to manage the library."
Han Jing smiled and said: "It seems that he just didn't have a chance to mention it. After all, it seems that a lot of things have happened between you. How did you know each other? Are you in the same class? Would you like to talk to Mom?"
"It's not a classmate. He's in his third year of high school. Students in his first year of high school generally can't apply for studying abroad. It seems that only exchange students are allowed." Han Shaochen didn't quite understand.
"Mom doesn't understand either." Han Jing didn't understand either, "Mom doesn't even know that you high school students can also apply for studying abroad, go to university?"
"Yes, he told me today that he passed both the TOEFL and the GRE." Han Shaochen said these terms that were unfamiliar to him, recalling Lin Yu's understatement with some awe.
"Then how can you know a third-year student and become friends with him?" Her son, she understands that it is difficult to actively respond to others, let alone take the initiative when interacting with others. It just made her extremely curious.
Han Shaochen avoided the topic that he and Lin Yu met because he was being bullied at that time, and only said that he only met this senior brother after going to the library a lot, while Han Jing tried hard to understand from Han Shaochen's short sentences. Spelling out the process of the child named Lin Yu's relationship with his son, in the end it was both joy and regret.My son finally got to know a friend, but unfortunately he is a senior in high school. He will graduate soon and is going to study abroad again. I don’t know if we can keep in touch in the future.But he didn't dare to say it clearly, so he could only strongly praise the benefits of having friends and encourage his son to make more friends.But I don't know that my son didn't listen at all.
In the end, Han Jing also suggested that her son could bring friends to play at home. She was also curious about what kind of person this Lin Yu was, after all, he was Han Shaochen's first friend.
It's a pity that she didn't go to Han Shaochen's house until Lin Yu left, and Han Jing's wish to meet her son's first friend has not been fulfilled for a long time.
Before Han Shaochen's second year of high school started, Lin Yu was going to country M. He happened to have relatives there, and his parents asked him to get familiar with the environment first. He also wanted to know more about the cultural environment of country M. Many things only came from There is still a big difference between what you learn in books or what you experience in short-term travel and what you experience in real life.So, when Han Shaochen faced the farewell of his only friend, he was really surprised and reluctant.
"I thought you wouldn't go until school started."
"It's not in China, so I might feel a little uncomfortable going there after the beginning of school. I'm worried that I won't be able to keep up with the lectures or studies." Seeing Han Shaochen's eyes, Lin Yu felt a little sad for no reason, "Even if you pass the English test, after all Not my mother tongue, I want to practice first."
"Well, that's right." Han Shaochen expressed his understanding, "One needs to get acquainted with a foreign country first."
In fact, it is not very strange. After all, I have traveled many times, and there are relatives there. I am not alone, but I don't want to refute. Lin Yu was silent for a while, and asked: "Do you still have no phone at home?"
Han Shaochen nodded.
"Then what should I do if I want to contact you?" Lin Yu was a little troubled.
"write a letter."
"That's all I have to do." Lin Yu scratched his head, "I'm not good at writing. What I'm most afraid of during the exam is writing."
"Writing a letter is not a propositional composition." Han Shaochen looked directly at Lin Yu, "I will read it carefully."
"Wow, the pressure is so great," Lin Yu smiled, "Don't worry, I will write to you. I will write to you when I settle down, and don't forget to reply to me when the time comes. What's the fun thing?" You can also write a letter and send it to my house first, and my parents will forward it to me."
Han Shaochen nodded.
"Oh, you always don't like to talk. In the future, you should take the initiative to talk to people and make more friends."
"En." Han Shaochen really didn't think he could do it, so he could only use one word instead.
"Okay, when you have a phone at home, tell me the number, and I'll call you. I won't have to write letters at that time, haha." Lin Yu laughed so hard that he couldn't see the sadness of parting at all.
Han Shaochen silently watched this person who seemed to be shining at any time, he was always so cheerful, so he had many friends, and he was not afraid to go to new places, because he would definitely make more new friends.
Just hope he doesn't forget to write to him.
Then, there was no news for many years.
The only address left by Lin Yu is the name of the community and the mailbox number. Because it is a very old community, the mailboxes of all families are numbered uniformly, unlike the later management of each house according to the house number.He used to stand outside the gate of that community during the winter and summer vacations, watching the people coming and going, thinking that he might meet Lin Yu who happened to be returning home on vacation, and then pretended to be passing by here by chance, but once Haven't encountered either.
When Han Shaochen was admitted to university, he had the courage to write a short letter to the address Lin Yu had left him, but there was still no response.
He thought he would never see this friend again.
"Master—Master?" A soft call sounded in his ears, and Han Shaochen, who was lost in memory, suddenly raised his head and saw Tan Mingming's puzzled face, "You have been in a daze for a long time, what are you thinking? I didn't agree." If he didn't see his eyes open, he really thought he was asleep.
"It's okay." Han Shaochen rubbed his sore eyes, "What's the matter?"
"Oh, do you think this is a bug?" Tan Mingming said while holding up the remote control to reproduce the problem just discovered, and Han Shaochen quickly returned to work.It's just that the ups and downs in my heart can't be calmed down for a long time.
Many things, when you don't think about them, you think you have forgotten them, but when you recall them, you find that they have actually taken root in your heart, not because you have forgotten them, but because you don't want to think about them.
He remembered that he was sweating profusely waiting under the scorching sun in summer, and his whole body was stiff in the cold wind of deep winter. Then he remembered that when he saw Lin Yu again, his mind was blank, and he suddenly felt that he should also thank this terrible projects, and even the big leader who is eager for quick success.
Hearing the question repeated by Tan Mingming in his ears, the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up slightly.
After five consecutive days of overtime, I finally passed all the key test cases and passed the time when the system was unresponsive. The people in the laboratory cheered a little, and asked the test team leader Zheng Shuohui what they would do tomorrow Can you have a good Sunday, they have been working overtime for almost a month for this set-top box.
Zheng Shuohui also felt that everyone should have a rest, but the test of this roaster had reached a critical point, and someone had to be on duty, so several people happily drew lots to decide who was the unlucky one.
A few people from M Communications discussed with Zheng Shuohui. It seems that the biggest problem has been solved. Ding Chi and Guo Weidong plan to book a flight back. Before leaving, they will visit two colleagues who are still in the hospital, Tan Mingming and Han Shaochen. You can also take the opportunity to take a day off, but you must keep your mobile phone on and be ready to answer calls at any time. If you have any problems, you must come immediately.
They are all colleagues, no matter how unfamiliar Han Shaochen is with them, he has to go to visit the sick. He still has this human nature. He was dragged by Tan Mingming early in the morning to buy condolences. In a word, the phone rang.
Tan Mingming almost jumped up. As a master, she hardly has a private phone call, not even a courier service. As long as someone calls, it must be work. There will be no problem and she will have to work overtime, right?
"Lin Yu?" Han Shaochen glanced at his phone, motioned to everyone, and walked out of the ward to answer the phone.
Why?The handsome manager?If there is a bug, the manager won't call, right?And also the marketing manager.Tan Mingming breathed a sigh of relief, but became even more curious. Does the master have an appointment on Sunday?
"Chen'er," Lin Yu asked in a relaxed tone, "what are you doing? You don't have to work overtime today, do you have time to chat?"
"Visiting a doctor, I don't work overtime, I should be free." Han Shaochen answered the questions one by one.
"Visiting a doctor? Oh, is it your colleague who was on a business trip before? Are you okay?" Lin Yu vaguely remembered that it seemed that he was able to meet Han Shaochen because the former support staff fell ill.
"It's okay, both of them are severe flu, and they are almost better."
"That's good. It's still early. When will you finish your visit? I'll pick you up?" Han Shaochen looked back at several colleagues in the ward, and resolutely refused: "No, I'll go to the place you said."
"Then gather at Juxing Square, um - I'll wait for you at the Starbucks in the southeast corner of the square," Lin Yu said with an obvious smile, "Or do you want to go to another store?"
"Just Starbucks." The flat tone could not tell whether he was in a good or bad mood, but there was a trace of nostalgia in the corners of his slightly squinted eyes.
"Okay, that's it for now, I'm hanging up."
"Goodbye." Han Shaochen put away his phone and walked back to the ward, turning a blind eye to Tan Mingming's unabashedly curious expression.
"Master, do you have something to do in a while? If it's okay, let's go shopping together. I haven't been here yet." Tan Mingming used his eyes to attack for a long time but found it ineffective, so he could only inquire directly.
"If you have something to do, go shopping by yourself." Han Shaochen held the phone and added, "Be careful, you can call me if you have anything to do."
Tan Mingming's eyes widened immediately, he really had an appointment!I really want to ask if it's with Lin Yu, but I think it's too gossip, which is really annoying.
While struggling, the doctor started rounds, and they said a few words of condolence before leaving.
Guo Weidong and Ding Chi were going to catch a plane, so they asked about their future arrangements. Tan Mingming replied that she was going shopping, and Han Shaochen was going to Juxing Square. Tan Mingming happened to have no destination, so he proposed with bright eyes. : "Master, Juxing Plaza can be regarded as one of the most prosperous places here, so we can take a taxi together and save some money."
Han Shaochen had no doubts about him, nodded in agreement, and the two went to take a taxi together.
"It's finally here. As expected of a big city, it's so congested on weekend mornings." Tan Mingming jumped out of the taxi, stretched unladylike at all, and then asked casually, "Master, I'm going shopping. , where are you going?"
"Over there." Han Shaochen looked around and raised his finger.
Tan Mingming looked along and saw Western-style restaurants such as Starbucks, Haagen-Dazs, and Pizza Hut. "Wow, let's go eat something delicious. Are you dating?"
Han Shaochen froze for a moment, "Just sit down."
Asking again would be too gossipy and annoying, so Tan Mingming dismissed it when he saw it was good, waved his hand and said, "Then I'm leaving, I might go over to sit and sit when I'm hungry later, maybe I can meet you again. Goodbye, master. "
"Goodbye." Han Shaochen nodded, turned to look at the familiar store logo, took a deep breath, and walked over.
Chapter 7
As soon as he entered the door, Han Shaochen habitually walked towards the seat by the window, and as expected, he saw the familiar figure, lowering his head and sliding his fingers on his mobile phone. There were two drinks on the table in front of him, one was coffee, the other was Frappuccino, this picture is so familiar as if it appeared in a dream, Han Shaochen couldn't help but lighten his steps.
Lin Yu looked up consciously, and immediately smiled when he saw the person coming, "I'm here so soon, why didn't you call me?"
Han Shaochen didn't make a sound, sat down on the empty seat opposite Lin Yu, and reached out to take the Frappuccino.
"I ordered it for you. I remember that you used to like to drink things without coffee, right?" Lin Yu blinked, with an expression of seeing how much I understand you.
Han Shaochen silently picked up the straw and stirred it in the cup.
"Hey?" Lin Yu was a little surprised when he didn't get a response, "Do you like drinking coffee now? I ordered it casually. If you don't like it, I'll order it again."
"I don't like it." He just had hot eyes and didn't want to make a sound for a while.
"That's good." Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief, "We're all so busy these days that we don't have time to sit together and talk. Finally, we can rest today, and we can have a good chat."
"I—" Han Shaochen hesitated, looked at the quiet phone, and then said, "If no one calls to work overtime today, we can chat for a day."
Lin Yu didn't expect Han Shaochen to say such a sentence, he laughed, "Oh, it's rare to hear you say such a long sentence, it's okay, Chen'er, have you made many new friends since I left?"
"No." Han Shaochen lowered his eyelids and answered weakly.
"Not many, there must be one or two?" Lin Yu raised his eyebrows, "I know it's a bit difficult to have a lot of friends with your personality, but from college to work, there should be a few classmates or colleagues who can chat with you well Come."
I don't know if Lin Yu wanted to reduce the guilt of not having heard from him for many years. He always hoped that Han Shaochen would meet new friends after him, and looked at him expectantly.
Han Shaochen thought for a while, "Yeah." If I had to say it, Tan Mingming was probably the one who talked to him the most. Although the other party took the initiative, he would occasionally talk about things other than work, so we could chat well. bring it on.
"That's good." Lin Yu scratched his head and couldn't help apologizing again, "When I first went abroad, I was really too busy. I had to adapt to the environment and familiarize myself with the language, and the burden was heavy after school started. It wasn't intentional. Not contacting you."
"It's okay." Han Shaochen shook his head, signaling that he doesn't have to worry about it, and even tried to say a few more words, "Going abroad is not about changing cities. It's quite difficult to adapt."
"Oh, you're right." Lin Yu immediately opened up the conversation box. The disaster many years ago was so vivid that he couldn't stop talking about it. It’s not too strenuous, as a result, I’ve been listening to the bible for almost a semester, and those foreigners’ lectures are fast, and they still have accents! Just get used to an accent and the semester is over, and next semester will continue to challenge new accents. Stay away from time to time This big homework has to be handed in in a week, and it takes almost all night to finish it every day. When I chatted with my domestic classmates, I told me that it was almost the difficulty of their completion. Who fooled us foreigners to study for fun? Let’s talk about the food. I also said that there are many Chinese restaurants in the place where I stay. They are all weird Chinese food. Even the spicy chicken is sweet..."
Han Shaochen listened quietly, staring silently at this old friend whom he hadn't seen for many years, with a relaxed smile on his mature face that is hard to see in the workplace, and his familiar attitude seemed to show that they had lost contact for a long time.
Unknowingly, it was almost noon, Lin Yu took a few sips of the cold coffee in the cup, and exhaled, "I've been talking for a long time, you have to pretend to be prudent in the company, how can you talk so much nonsense."
"It's not nonsense."
"Oh," Lin Yu couldn't help but smile when he saw Han Shaochen's serious expression, "I've been talking all morning, so tell me what you've done all these years?"
"Go to college, find a job, work on a project, and meet you again." Han Shaochen answered in chronological order.
Lin Yu sighed greatly, "I really admire you, and you have summed it up in ten years. I will argue with you later, I should be hungry at this point, and I will take you to eat delicious fish."
After finishing speaking, Han Shaochen's eyes lit up, and Lin Yu laughed again, "It's agreed, the local snake treats you."
"Ah."
"It just so happens that there is a good fish store on the sixth floor of Juxing Plaza, and there is no need to drive, so let's go."
The two walked out of Starbucks one after the other, walked slowly to find an elevator to go up to the sixth floor.
There are many people on weekends, and the elevator will have people going up and down on almost every floor. The person who came in on the fifth floor was actually Tan Mingming. As soon as she entered the elevator, the girl's eyes widened in surprise: "Ah, master, Mr. Lin?"
The word "General" will naturally make people around who are buried in their mobile phones turn around curiously to see who this is. The two who were silently watching the floor prompt also looked back in surprise.
In the interlacing of eyes, Lin Yu, who is the most handsome, undoubtedly became the focus, and responded with some amusement: "Hello, what a coincidence."
Han Shaochen also nodded.
After confirming that Han Shaochen's "date" was this President Lin, Tan Mingming was so excited that he wanted to jump up, took a deep breath and said, "What a coincidence, I was hungry and wanted to find a restaurant upstairs." I need something to eat, I didn't expect to meet you in the elevator."
"We're going to have dinner too. We just happen to be together." Lin Yu said along the way, and when they reached the sixth floor, they got out of the elevator while talking.
"Hey?" Tan Mingming waved his hands quickly, "I'm not trying to rub your money, that's all I'm saying."
"What are you eating or not eating? Let's eat together when you meet." Lin Yu laughed.
"Let's go." Han Shaochen made a final decision, and Tan Mingming immediately agreed honestly.
Lin Yu originally thought that the little girl who came on a business trip together liked Han Shaochen, because she often found her secretly watching them talking,
Don't you just grab a bottle of water and go?Han Shaochen looked at Lin Yu with some doubts.
"Of course not!" Lin Yu understood the meaning in those eyes, "I said it was an apology, of course it should be more formal, and tell me where to go."
"I don't know, I haven't been there before." Han Shaochen couldn't resist, so he could only walk out of the school.
"Then Starbucks, come closer, and I'll take you to another store later." Lin Yu snapped his fingers with the other hand and quickly decided on their destination, but he was surprised that Han Shaochen hadn't been to these places.
Their school can almost be called an aristocratic school in this district. A group of students will spend money one by one, and Lin Yu's family is quite ordinary in terms of wealth, just because someone in the family works for the government, plus The game itself is also good enough, so it can be regarded as a good mix.
In order to prevent students from comparing each other, the school strictly stipulates that they must wear school uniforms. Although the family background cannot be seen from the clothes, the differences can still be seen from the decorations, shoes and socks, and stationery.Lin Yu always thought that everyone was similar, and he never paid attention to Han Shaochen's equipment. It was only then that he realized that his schoolbag and the like didn't seem to be the brands he usually used. There is not even a logo, but it is very clean, and it looks very comfortable with his handsome appearance.
Lin Yu looked at it secretly, but he didn't show it on his face, "I don't drink coffee at night. It's just a little hot today, so I'll have a Frappuccino. Would you like some dessert, blueberry cheese?"
"Drinks are fine." Han Shaochen actually didn't quite understand what he was saying, but he instinctively didn't want to expand the range of drinks to desserts.
When Lin Yu was ordering at the front desk, Han Shaochen looked at the price list and felt a little uneasy. What kind of drinks are these? One cup is enough for their family's meals for several days.But seeing Lin Yu casually opening his wallet seemed nothing at all, so Han Shaochen could only continue to put on a calm look and wait aside.
The two found a seat and sat down. Han Shaochen watched Lin Yu's movements without any trace, put the straw away himself, and said softly, "Thank you, brother."
"Don't be so polite, it's an apology." Lin Yu scratched his head, "Don't call me senior brother, I always feel a little silly, just call me by my name."
Han Shaochen nodded, but did not answer.
It's cold.
Lin Yu held the straw in his mouth and looked at Han Shaochen who was concentrating on drinking the Frappuccino. He felt that if it wasn't for the fact that the smoothie in the cup needed to melt slowly before he could finish drinking it, he would have finished a large glass in a minute and left. look.
Need to find a topic.
Lin Yu cleared his throat, "Speaking of which, I saw it on the red list posted at the school gate. You are the first in your grade in the entrance examination. For a top student like you, the first year of high school should be easy, right?"
"It's not easy." Han Shaochen replied seriously.
"Why is it not easy?" Lin Yu smiled. "Is it because I can't finish my homework or because there are too many remedial classes? I remember that when I was in the first year of high school, I always complained that I couldn't finish the homework. It was only in the third year of high school that I realized that it was all pediatrics."
"I can finish writing, but I didn't go to the tutoring class."
"Are you relying on yourself to maintain the first grade in your grade?" Lin Yu raised his eyebrows, "Is that because you bought a lot of tutorial books?"
"Isn't there a teacher in class?" Han Shaochen was also very surprised, "There are also after-school exercises in the textbook."
Han Shaochen occasionally read a few tutorial books in the library, but in his opinion, none of them can synthesize more knowledge points as well as the after-school exercises in the textbook. After using the formulas very proficiently, and looking at the topics in the tutorial, basically there is nothing that cannot be done.So what is the need to spend money on additional tutorials?
Probably Xueba is a person with super self-learning ability, which is different from the good grades piled up in the tutoring class. Lin Yu secretly sighed and couldn't help saying, "Your parents must be very smart."
Han Shaochen was taken aback for a moment, and after thinking about it, he said, "My mother is very powerful."
"That's no wonder. It seems that the son's IQ is largely inherited from his mother." Lin Yu laughed, "But my father is not bad."
Han Shaochen lowered his head and didn't make a sound, Lin Yu didn't care, "By the way, the general student union will absorb people with better academic performance or other outstanding abilities. Why haven't you seen you in the student union? No one came to look for you. Are you a member?"
"Yes, I declined."
"Can I ask why?" Lin Yu suddenly found that Han Shaochen didn't seem to be a talkative person. Explain the cause and effect clearly, but Han Shaochen only answered his question, without any intention of extending explanation.
"No time." Han Shaochen answered very simply.
"Cough." Lin Yu felt that it would be very annoying to ask such questions, "Do you think it's boring to sit here with me and drink, and it's a waste of your time?"
"No." Han Shaochen seemed a little surprised that he would ask such a question, and looked up at him, and there was no sign of impatience in his eyes, "You can go home later today."
"Hey," Lin Yu suddenly became happy, "Is this the first time you are drinking and chatting with others outside?"
Han Shaochen nodded.
"Won't it bother me to keep asking you questions?"
Han Shaochen shook his head.
"Is this the same way you chat with others?" Lin Yu is curious.
Han Shaochen thought about it carefully, "I haven't talked, I don't know."
"There are always people talking to you, don't they usually say a few words and then stop talking?" Lin Yu asked with a smile.
Han Shaochen frowned slightly, and nodded hesitantly, "Is there something wrong with me? How do you know?"
"Oh," Lin Yu patted the table lightly. "You talk too little. Even if someone brings up a topic, if you answer too simply, it will be difficult to continue the conversation. Do you want to make more friends?"
It was the first time for Han Shaochen to hear this kind of statement, and he felt that his mind was in a mess. He always felt that he had done something wrong, but he couldn't figure out why. He understood the last question, "Maybe I don't want to."
"Why?" Lin Yu was very surprised. He was not very happy when he saw Han Shaochen say that he had no friends.
"Some--just be afraid." Han Shaochen replied hesitantly, "And I don't have time."
"Can I ask why you're afraid? And what are you busy with? Why do you always say you don't have time?" Lin Yu asked carefully, "It's okay if it's not convenient for you to answer."
When Han Shaochen saw Lin Yu's focused eyes, although he couldn't understand the concern in it, he found that he was not too resistant to looking at and talking with Lin Yu, and wanted to say a few more words.He lowered his head and thought about it carefully, trying to organize the language, then raised his head and looked directly at Lin Yu before he said, "If you want to make friends, you need to chat and spend time with each other. I'm not good at talking with others, and I have to read tutoring in the library after school Books for self-study, and then I have to go home quickly to do housework, and I have to do homework and preview homework in the rest of the time, so I don’t have time to do other things.”
Lin Yu felt that the amount of information was a bit large, but there were more things he didn't understand, and he was afraid that he would accidentally say the wrong thing if he kept asking, so he picked a question that was not easy to say wrong, "Then why are you not in a hurry today? Are you home?"
"My mother said this morning that she won't come back tonight, so I don't have to hurry home and cook for us. I can sit here with you for a while." Han Shaochen replied calmly.
"You cook all the meals in your house? You do all the housework?" Lin Yu was really shocked, not to mention those classmates who have their own cooks at home, and he also hired part-time workers to cook and clean at his own home. Occasionally, his parents had Sora also cooks himself, but I have never heard of anyone around who asks their children to cook for their families.
"No, I usually do it when my mother is too busy. When she is on holiday, she is responsible for cooking and I am responsible for cleaning." Han Shaochen didn't think there was anything wrong at all.
Lin Yu touched his chin, and didn't ask stupidly why he didn't hire part-time workers. His rich second-generation friends might blurt it out.Questions involving the family economy are too private to ask further, and Lin Yu keenly found that Han Shaochen didn't mention a word about his father's situation, but just sighed in general: "You are very good, I can't even fry eggs. Neither."
Han Shaochen blinked slightly when he heard the words, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly, "That's because you have no chance to do it."
It was only then that Lin Yu realized that the person opposite had a pair of beautiful eyes, and the long eyelashes flickered like a fan. The smile on his face made him alive, and he first noticed that The feeling of loneliness deep in his eyes seemed to have dissipated a lot.It's just that this faint smile was only short-lived, and soon returned to the usual expressionless face.
"Hey, you look good when you smile. You should smile more when you have nothing to do." Lin Yu said with an exaggerated grin, "Maybe even if you don't have time to spend with your friends, you can spend more time in school." A classmate who can talk a few words."
"You look good when you smile." Han Shaochen looked at Lin Yu's big white teeth and murmured in a strange way.From the first time he saw Lin Yu, he often talked to himself with a warm smile, just like the sun, shining into his long-closed heart.
Chapter 6
Han Shaochen is rarely willing to look at others. Even though he later learned that one of the symptoms of autistic patients is lack of eye contact, and tried hard to change his habit, it is still difficult to look at others directly.Before meeting Lin Yu, the only person he could look at and say a few words was Han Jing.
I don't know if it's because Lin Yu blocked his emotional outburst, or because of Lin Yu that he was sorry for the first time, or because of Lin Yu's sincere and hearty smile, in short, he has a second person who can face up to him.This action, which may seem very ordinary to Lin Yu, is very rare to Han Shaochen.
Lin Yu was Han Shaochen's first and only friend when he was a student. No one thought of this "only" in their hearts at the time.
Of course, Han Shaochen didn't expect that they could sit together and chat for less than half a year. He never knew that the reason why Lin Yu was so free in the second semester of his senior year was because he had already applied for a foreign university and didn't need to take the college entrance examination. , You only need to wait until the end of the exam to get a high school diploma.Lin Yu didn't mention it specifically, and always felt that it was like showing off when he mentioned it inexplicably.
As a result, the two didn't realize that they had to face such a distant separation until Lin Yu graduated.
Before that, Lin Yu would always appear in the library, and Han Shaochen would still look through his reference books or other information books in the library.The library is the point where the two of them meet the most. In addition, they occasionally meet in the cafeteria or on the playground and chat a few words.
Gradually, Lin Yu knew that Han Shaochen relied on the first grade in his grade to reduce tuition fees and scholarships to subsidize his family.His family conditions are not ordinary, but poor. Han Shaochen doesn't even have a phone at home, and he never needs to use it.This is incredible to Lin Yu, but in this modern society, there are such people and families.
And when Han Shaochen talked about these things by chance, he didn't feel embarrassed at all, which made Lin Yu a little admired, and he was more willing to take care of this taciturn and motivated young man.As for Han Shaochen's parents, Lin Yu never asked them what they did and how they lived so poorly.It's just that from Han Shaochen's conversation, he found that his family seems to have only his mother and no father, so he didn't dare to ask questions, for fear of making others sad.
The contact with Lin Yu also brought many changes to Han Shaochen's campus life.
One of them, Wang Qi didn't come here on purpose to look for trouble. Brother Lin, whom he thought was just a temporary meeting, had a close relationship with Han Shaochen, and every time he met Lin Yu, the other party would give him a serious look. Let him not dare to find fault again.
Second, some girls who had ignored Han Shaochen for a long time began to talk to him again, intentionally or unintentionally inquiring about his relationship with Lin Yu and some information about Lin Yu.However, Han Shaochen's attitude towards these questions has always been very cold. Although he can't ignore them, he can't say anything interesting, which makes the girls even more displeased with him.
Third, Han Jing also noticed a small change in her son.Sometimes on the days when she didn't go home for dinner, Han Shaochen seemed very happy after returning from get off work.Although that face was still expressionless, one could feel the relaxed atmosphere around him.Once or twice was enough, and it was like this for two or three months in a row, which made her curious.
Until one day, when Han Jing came home at night, she found her son sitting quietly on the sofa with a book in his hand, but in a daze. Chen, what's wrong?"
Han Shaochen looked up at his mother, and replied in a daze, "I don't know, I feel uncomfortable." Her son became less emotional as he got older, and he rarely had emotional ups and downs after entering middle school. She was both curious and worried, so she sat down and grabbed Han Shaochen's shoulders and asked, "Come and tell Mom what's going on, I was very happy to see you a while ago, I haven't had time to ask you, why do I suddenly feel uncomfortable today?" Yes. Did you meet someone, or did you have a girlfriend?"
"Huh? That's right," Han Jing laughed first, "I have to tell my mother when I have a girlfriend."
"I don't have a girlfriend." Han Shaochen replied honestly, "I have a friend who told me today that he would study abroad after graduation, but he didn't tell me. I asked him today if it was true, and he admitted it. Then I don't feel well, but I don't know why."
When Han Jing heard this, she was delighted at first, but also felt sorry for her son, and said with emotion: "I am very glad that you can make friends. After you have friends, it is normal for you to be happy or sad because of some actions or words of your friends. You used to be reluctant to get in touch with people. I hope you can make more friends and talk more, but you can’t control your words and deeds at school. You can only watch you go by yourself. In fact, my mother is a little sad, but I can’t Putting pressure on you. You finally have a friend after you went to high school, I didn’t ask you before, sometimes you seem to be in a good mood, is that because of this friend?”
"Probably." Han Shaochen was silent for a while, "Then why am I in a bad mood today?"
"Because studying abroad is such a big thing, you know it from other people, probably because you don't think the other party pays enough attention to you?" Han Jing tried to figure out the teenager's psychology, "However, if you don't mention this aspect in your usual chats, It's normal for him not to tell you about the topic, so don't be unhappy."
Han Shaochen suddenly seemed to relax a bit, "It's true that I didn't mention it."
"Then when you asked him, was he willing to tell?" Han Jing asked, "How did he admit it?"
"No." Han Shaochen thought about it for a while, "he just patted his head and said, oh, there is indeed such a thing, otherwise why would I be so free to manage the library."
Han Jing smiled and said: "It seems that he just didn't have a chance to mention it. After all, it seems that a lot of things have happened between you. How did you know each other? Are you in the same class? Would you like to talk to Mom?"
"It's not a classmate. He's in his third year of high school. Students in his first year of high school generally can't apply for studying abroad. It seems that only exchange students are allowed." Han Shaochen didn't quite understand.
"Mom doesn't understand either." Han Jing didn't understand either, "Mom doesn't even know that you high school students can also apply for studying abroad, go to university?"
"Yes, he told me today that he passed both the TOEFL and the GRE." Han Shaochen said these terms that were unfamiliar to him, recalling Lin Yu's understatement with some awe.
"Then how can you know a third-year student and become friends with him?" Her son, she understands that it is difficult to actively respond to others, let alone take the initiative when interacting with others. It just made her extremely curious.
Han Shaochen avoided the topic that he and Lin Yu met because he was being bullied at that time, and only said that he only met this senior brother after going to the library a lot, while Han Jing tried hard to understand from Han Shaochen's short sentences. Spelling out the process of the child named Lin Yu's relationship with his son, in the end it was both joy and regret.My son finally got to know a friend, but unfortunately he is a senior in high school. He will graduate soon and is going to study abroad again. I don’t know if we can keep in touch in the future.But he didn't dare to say it clearly, so he could only strongly praise the benefits of having friends and encourage his son to make more friends.But I don't know that my son didn't listen at all.
In the end, Han Jing also suggested that her son could bring friends to play at home. She was also curious about what kind of person this Lin Yu was, after all, he was Han Shaochen's first friend.
It's a pity that she didn't go to Han Shaochen's house until Lin Yu left, and Han Jing's wish to meet her son's first friend has not been fulfilled for a long time.
Before Han Shaochen's second year of high school started, Lin Yu was going to country M. He happened to have relatives there, and his parents asked him to get familiar with the environment first. He also wanted to know more about the cultural environment of country M. Many things only came from There is still a big difference between what you learn in books or what you experience in short-term travel and what you experience in real life.So, when Han Shaochen faced the farewell of his only friend, he was really surprised and reluctant.
"I thought you wouldn't go until school started."
"It's not in China, so I might feel a little uncomfortable going there after the beginning of school. I'm worried that I won't be able to keep up with the lectures or studies." Seeing Han Shaochen's eyes, Lin Yu felt a little sad for no reason, "Even if you pass the English test, after all Not my mother tongue, I want to practice first."
"Well, that's right." Han Shaochen expressed his understanding, "One needs to get acquainted with a foreign country first."
In fact, it is not very strange. After all, I have traveled many times, and there are relatives there. I am not alone, but I don't want to refute. Lin Yu was silent for a while, and asked: "Do you still have no phone at home?"
Han Shaochen nodded.
"Then what should I do if I want to contact you?" Lin Yu was a little troubled.
"write a letter."
"That's all I have to do." Lin Yu scratched his head, "I'm not good at writing. What I'm most afraid of during the exam is writing."
"Writing a letter is not a propositional composition." Han Shaochen looked directly at Lin Yu, "I will read it carefully."
"Wow, the pressure is so great," Lin Yu smiled, "Don't worry, I will write to you. I will write to you when I settle down, and don't forget to reply to me when the time comes. What's the fun thing?" You can also write a letter and send it to my house first, and my parents will forward it to me."
Han Shaochen nodded.
"Oh, you always don't like to talk. In the future, you should take the initiative to talk to people and make more friends."
"En." Han Shaochen really didn't think he could do it, so he could only use one word instead.
"Okay, when you have a phone at home, tell me the number, and I'll call you. I won't have to write letters at that time, haha." Lin Yu laughed so hard that he couldn't see the sadness of parting at all.
Han Shaochen silently watched this person who seemed to be shining at any time, he was always so cheerful, so he had many friends, and he was not afraid to go to new places, because he would definitely make more new friends.
Just hope he doesn't forget to write to him.
Then, there was no news for many years.
The only address left by Lin Yu is the name of the community and the mailbox number. Because it is a very old community, the mailboxes of all families are numbered uniformly, unlike the later management of each house according to the house number.He used to stand outside the gate of that community during the winter and summer vacations, watching the people coming and going, thinking that he might meet Lin Yu who happened to be returning home on vacation, and then pretended to be passing by here by chance, but once Haven't encountered either.
When Han Shaochen was admitted to university, he had the courage to write a short letter to the address Lin Yu had left him, but there was still no response.
He thought he would never see this friend again.
"Master—Master?" A soft call sounded in his ears, and Han Shaochen, who was lost in memory, suddenly raised his head and saw Tan Mingming's puzzled face, "You have been in a daze for a long time, what are you thinking? I didn't agree." If he didn't see his eyes open, he really thought he was asleep.
"It's okay." Han Shaochen rubbed his sore eyes, "What's the matter?"
"Oh, do you think this is a bug?" Tan Mingming said while holding up the remote control to reproduce the problem just discovered, and Han Shaochen quickly returned to work.It's just that the ups and downs in my heart can't be calmed down for a long time.
Many things, when you don't think about them, you think you have forgotten them, but when you recall them, you find that they have actually taken root in your heart, not because you have forgotten them, but because you don't want to think about them.
He remembered that he was sweating profusely waiting under the scorching sun in summer, and his whole body was stiff in the cold wind of deep winter. Then he remembered that when he saw Lin Yu again, his mind was blank, and he suddenly felt that he should also thank this terrible projects, and even the big leader who is eager for quick success.
Hearing the question repeated by Tan Mingming in his ears, the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up slightly.
After five consecutive days of overtime, I finally passed all the key test cases and passed the time when the system was unresponsive. The people in the laboratory cheered a little, and asked the test team leader Zheng Shuohui what they would do tomorrow Can you have a good Sunday, they have been working overtime for almost a month for this set-top box.
Zheng Shuohui also felt that everyone should have a rest, but the test of this roaster had reached a critical point, and someone had to be on duty, so several people happily drew lots to decide who was the unlucky one.
A few people from M Communications discussed with Zheng Shuohui. It seems that the biggest problem has been solved. Ding Chi and Guo Weidong plan to book a flight back. Before leaving, they will visit two colleagues who are still in the hospital, Tan Mingming and Han Shaochen. You can also take the opportunity to take a day off, but you must keep your mobile phone on and be ready to answer calls at any time. If you have any problems, you must come immediately.
They are all colleagues, no matter how unfamiliar Han Shaochen is with them, he has to go to visit the sick. He still has this human nature. He was dragged by Tan Mingming early in the morning to buy condolences. In a word, the phone rang.
Tan Mingming almost jumped up. As a master, she hardly has a private phone call, not even a courier service. As long as someone calls, it must be work. There will be no problem and she will have to work overtime, right?
"Lin Yu?" Han Shaochen glanced at his phone, motioned to everyone, and walked out of the ward to answer the phone.
Why?The handsome manager?If there is a bug, the manager won't call, right?And also the marketing manager.Tan Mingming breathed a sigh of relief, but became even more curious. Does the master have an appointment on Sunday?
"Chen'er," Lin Yu asked in a relaxed tone, "what are you doing? You don't have to work overtime today, do you have time to chat?"
"Visiting a doctor, I don't work overtime, I should be free." Han Shaochen answered the questions one by one.
"Visiting a doctor? Oh, is it your colleague who was on a business trip before? Are you okay?" Lin Yu vaguely remembered that it seemed that he was able to meet Han Shaochen because the former support staff fell ill.
"It's okay, both of them are severe flu, and they are almost better."
"That's good. It's still early. When will you finish your visit? I'll pick you up?" Han Shaochen looked back at several colleagues in the ward, and resolutely refused: "No, I'll go to the place you said."
"Then gather at Juxing Square, um - I'll wait for you at the Starbucks in the southeast corner of the square," Lin Yu said with an obvious smile, "Or do you want to go to another store?"
"Just Starbucks." The flat tone could not tell whether he was in a good or bad mood, but there was a trace of nostalgia in the corners of his slightly squinted eyes.
"Okay, that's it for now, I'm hanging up."
"Goodbye." Han Shaochen put away his phone and walked back to the ward, turning a blind eye to Tan Mingming's unabashedly curious expression.
"Master, do you have something to do in a while? If it's okay, let's go shopping together. I haven't been here yet." Tan Mingming used his eyes to attack for a long time but found it ineffective, so he could only inquire directly.
"If you have something to do, go shopping by yourself." Han Shaochen held the phone and added, "Be careful, you can call me if you have anything to do."
Tan Mingming's eyes widened immediately, he really had an appointment!I really want to ask if it's with Lin Yu, but I think it's too gossip, which is really annoying.
While struggling, the doctor started rounds, and they said a few words of condolence before leaving.
Guo Weidong and Ding Chi were going to catch a plane, so they asked about their future arrangements. Tan Mingming replied that she was going shopping, and Han Shaochen was going to Juxing Square. Tan Mingming happened to have no destination, so he proposed with bright eyes. : "Master, Juxing Plaza can be regarded as one of the most prosperous places here, so we can take a taxi together and save some money."
Han Shaochen had no doubts about him, nodded in agreement, and the two went to take a taxi together.
"It's finally here. As expected of a big city, it's so congested on weekend mornings." Tan Mingming jumped out of the taxi, stretched unladylike at all, and then asked casually, "Master, I'm going shopping. , where are you going?"
"Over there." Han Shaochen looked around and raised his finger.
Tan Mingming looked along and saw Western-style restaurants such as Starbucks, Haagen-Dazs, and Pizza Hut. "Wow, let's go eat something delicious. Are you dating?"
Han Shaochen froze for a moment, "Just sit down."
Asking again would be too gossipy and annoying, so Tan Mingming dismissed it when he saw it was good, waved his hand and said, "Then I'm leaving, I might go over to sit and sit when I'm hungry later, maybe I can meet you again. Goodbye, master. "
"Goodbye." Han Shaochen nodded, turned to look at the familiar store logo, took a deep breath, and walked over.
Chapter 7
As soon as he entered the door, Han Shaochen habitually walked towards the seat by the window, and as expected, he saw the familiar figure, lowering his head and sliding his fingers on his mobile phone. There were two drinks on the table in front of him, one was coffee, the other was Frappuccino, this picture is so familiar as if it appeared in a dream, Han Shaochen couldn't help but lighten his steps.
Lin Yu looked up consciously, and immediately smiled when he saw the person coming, "I'm here so soon, why didn't you call me?"
Han Shaochen didn't make a sound, sat down on the empty seat opposite Lin Yu, and reached out to take the Frappuccino.
"I ordered it for you. I remember that you used to like to drink things without coffee, right?" Lin Yu blinked, with an expression of seeing how much I understand you.
Han Shaochen silently picked up the straw and stirred it in the cup.
"Hey?" Lin Yu was a little surprised when he didn't get a response, "Do you like drinking coffee now? I ordered it casually. If you don't like it, I'll order it again."
"I don't like it." He just had hot eyes and didn't want to make a sound for a while.
"That's good." Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief, "We're all so busy these days that we don't have time to sit together and talk. Finally, we can rest today, and we can have a good chat."
"I—" Han Shaochen hesitated, looked at the quiet phone, and then said, "If no one calls to work overtime today, we can chat for a day."
Lin Yu didn't expect Han Shaochen to say such a sentence, he laughed, "Oh, it's rare to hear you say such a long sentence, it's okay, Chen'er, have you made many new friends since I left?"
"No." Han Shaochen lowered his eyelids and answered weakly.
"Not many, there must be one or two?" Lin Yu raised his eyebrows, "I know it's a bit difficult to have a lot of friends with your personality, but from college to work, there should be a few classmates or colleagues who can chat with you well Come."
I don't know if Lin Yu wanted to reduce the guilt of not having heard from him for many years. He always hoped that Han Shaochen would meet new friends after him, and looked at him expectantly.
Han Shaochen thought for a while, "Yeah." If I had to say it, Tan Mingming was probably the one who talked to him the most. Although the other party took the initiative, he would occasionally talk about things other than work, so we could chat well. bring it on.
"That's good." Lin Yu scratched his head and couldn't help apologizing again, "When I first went abroad, I was really too busy. I had to adapt to the environment and familiarize myself with the language, and the burden was heavy after school started. It wasn't intentional. Not contacting you."
"It's okay." Han Shaochen shook his head, signaling that he doesn't have to worry about it, and even tried to say a few more words, "Going abroad is not about changing cities. It's quite difficult to adapt."
"Oh, you're right." Lin Yu immediately opened up the conversation box. The disaster many years ago was so vivid that he couldn't stop talking about it. It’s not too strenuous, as a result, I’ve been listening to the bible for almost a semester, and those foreigners’ lectures are fast, and they still have accents! Just get used to an accent and the semester is over, and next semester will continue to challenge new accents. Stay away from time to time This big homework has to be handed in in a week, and it takes almost all night to finish it every day. When I chatted with my domestic classmates, I told me that it was almost the difficulty of their completion. Who fooled us foreigners to study for fun? Let’s talk about the food. I also said that there are many Chinese restaurants in the place where I stay. They are all weird Chinese food. Even the spicy chicken is sweet..."
Han Shaochen listened quietly, staring silently at this old friend whom he hadn't seen for many years, with a relaxed smile on his mature face that is hard to see in the workplace, and his familiar attitude seemed to show that they had lost contact for a long time.
Unknowingly, it was almost noon, Lin Yu took a few sips of the cold coffee in the cup, and exhaled, "I've been talking for a long time, you have to pretend to be prudent in the company, how can you talk so much nonsense."
"It's not nonsense."
"Oh," Lin Yu couldn't help but smile when he saw Han Shaochen's serious expression, "I've been talking all morning, so tell me what you've done all these years?"
"Go to college, find a job, work on a project, and meet you again." Han Shaochen answered in chronological order.
Lin Yu sighed greatly, "I really admire you, and you have summed it up in ten years. I will argue with you later, I should be hungry at this point, and I will take you to eat delicious fish."
After finishing speaking, Han Shaochen's eyes lit up, and Lin Yu laughed again, "It's agreed, the local snake treats you."
"Ah."
"It just so happens that there is a good fish store on the sixth floor of Juxing Plaza, and there is no need to drive, so let's go."
The two walked out of Starbucks one after the other, walked slowly to find an elevator to go up to the sixth floor.
There are many people on weekends, and the elevator will have people going up and down on almost every floor. The person who came in on the fifth floor was actually Tan Mingming. As soon as she entered the elevator, the girl's eyes widened in surprise: "Ah, master, Mr. Lin?"
The word "General" will naturally make people around who are buried in their mobile phones turn around curiously to see who this is. The two who were silently watching the floor prompt also looked back in surprise.
In the interlacing of eyes, Lin Yu, who is the most handsome, undoubtedly became the focus, and responded with some amusement: "Hello, what a coincidence."
Han Shaochen also nodded.
After confirming that Han Shaochen's "date" was this President Lin, Tan Mingming was so excited that he wanted to jump up, took a deep breath and said, "What a coincidence, I was hungry and wanted to find a restaurant upstairs." I need something to eat, I didn't expect to meet you in the elevator."
"We're going to have dinner too. We just happen to be together." Lin Yu said along the way, and when they reached the sixth floor, they got out of the elevator while talking.
"Hey?" Tan Mingming waved his hands quickly, "I'm not trying to rub your money, that's all I'm saying."
"What are you eating or not eating? Let's eat together when you meet." Lin Yu laughed.
"Let's go." Han Shaochen made a final decision, and Tan Mingming immediately agreed honestly.
Lin Yu originally thought that the little girl who came on a business trip together liked Han Shaochen, because she often found her secretly watching them talking,
