Death Spiral [Infinite Flow]

Facts have proved that Xu Rendong is thinking too much.

This is the last level of the last dungeon, how could he let him go so easily?

As soon as he walked to the front of the leader's office, the colleague behind him raised his head and said, "The boss has gone out to discuss business, and he won't be back today. Do you have anything to do with him?"

Xu Rendong turned around and said: "My family is in a hurry, I have to go back early in the afternoon, I want to ask for leave."

The colleague said blankly: "Then you have to finish the work, or the progress will be delayed." He pointed at his desk and then went back to work hard.

Xu Rendong glanced at the desk, and saw that several documents had piled up into mountains.This amount far exceeds his usual normal workload. In contrast, there are only one or two documents on the desks of other colleagues, which is much less than before they left for lunch break.

I'm afraid...they're passing their jobs on to him.

Even Joe noticed this and asked, "Do they bully you like this outside?"

Xu Rendong helped his forehead: "I didn't feel it outside. After all, it's not as intuitive as it is now. After a meal, there will be so much work..." He was a little embarrassed when he said this, "I just realized now that I am a human being. It’s such a failure that everyone hates me so much.”

Lian Qiao thought for a while, and said: "This copy is a reflection of reality, and it will magnify the details in reality. I think that outside, people may just think you are not easy to get close to, so here it will be enlarged to... um..." He hesitated After a while, I couldn't think of a suitable wording, so I could only smile and say, "It will be enlarged into a cold storage."

When Liandong thought about it, it made sense.Take the rice ball just now as an example, for them it was just a rejection of a rice ball, but for colleagues, perhaps it was because he repeatedly rejected everyone's kindness in the past six months and rarely participated in group activities, so everyone respected him. The attitude suddenly dropped to freezing point.

Liandong smiled bitterly: "Forget it, this is the end of the matter, let's go to work honestly."

He and Lian Qiao returned to their seats together.At this time, the office chairs of the two of them were frozen stiff, and it was as if they were sitting on a piece of ice, which felt chilly in their hearts.Lonicera shivered involuntarily.Lian Qiao naturally took his hand, put it to his lips and breathed lightly.

This action reminded Liandong that in a certain reincarnation, he was accidentally injured by Lian Qiao and was admitted to the hospital. Lian Qiao came to see him full of guilt and blamed himself so much that he couldn't lift his head.But when Lian Qiao noticed that he was shrinking from the cold, he also reacted in the same way.

It was almost a physiological reflex, an instinct.

Xu Rendong looked at him, although his body was still cold, his heart was as warm as soaking in a hot spring.

Finally, Liandong's hands became warmer, Lian Qiao got up and said: "You do things first, I'll go and find out if there is any hot water."

Liandong felt that the water dispenser would definitely not work normally at this time, but seeing Lian Qiao walking so decisively, he suddenly had a thought in his mind:

Is even Joe anxious?

Even as smart as Lian Qiao, he can't help you with these financial statements.He could only stay by Liandong's side, guarding him, at most to warm his hands.

This feeling of powerlessness is uncomfortable.Honeysuckle has experienced it countless times, so she understands it very well.

So he didn't stop Lian Qiao, but turned his attention back to work.

Although there are no windows in the office, there is a whistling cold wind coming from nowhere.Xu Rendong's hand, which had just warmed up, quickly became cold and numb again.He tapped the keyboard with difficulty, only feeling that he was about to be frozen into a zombie.

To make matters worse, not only was he frozen stiff, but even the computer was affected by the low temperature, and its running speed slowed down considerably.Not to mention the keyboard and mouse, it takes several clicks to respond.

The work was piled up like a mountain, but this is good, the computer is not working well, and Xu Rendong's work efficiency has been greatly reduced.

Lian Qiao walked around the office and came back soon.Sure enough, there was no hot water.He could only hug Lonicera, trying to reduce the loss of heat from Lonicera's body as much as possible.

Xu Rendong has put all his body and mind into his work, completely oblivious to what happened around him.But office bullying is not for nothing after all.Originally, it was the workload of two or three people, coupled with equipment failure, even if Xu Rendong was as skilled as Xu Rendong, it was impossible to finish it before get off work.

Seeing that the time is approaching six o'clock, it is almost time to get off work, but there is still more than half of the work left.At this speed, it is absolutely impossible for him to finish before ten o'clock.

Xu Rendong couldn't help becoming anxious.He worried that if he missed the big truck at ten o'clock, he might miss the elevator forever.What's more, the office at this time didn't even have a door, and it was surrounded by thick ice walls, so he couldn't help it if he wanted to skip work.

You can't stay like this any longer.Lonicera was already physically weak, and after sitting in this environment of unknown degrees below zero for an entire afternoon, her whole body was frozen stiff, and she felt that her blood was about to freeze.No matter how much Lian Qiao hugged and protected him, he couldn't resist the loss of body heat after all.What's more, if this continues, even Joe's body will not be able to bear it.

Xu Rendong bit his pale lips, his stiff fingers gradually stopped on the keyboard, showing a thoughtful expression.

Although he didn't say a word, Lian Qiao could read his anxiety from his expression, and said softly: "Actually... I have an idea. I just want you to make a little sacrifice."

Lonicera's eyes lit up: "What?"

"Just go to your colleagues and ask them to help you with a little work."

Liandong was surprised and said: "It was originally a task they pushed for me, is it useful to ask them?"

"I'm just guessing, after all, the dungeon will magnify all the details. A rice ball will trigger a bullying, a love..." When he said this, he suddenly stopped talking.

Liandong didn't know why he stopped, cast a puzzled look at him, and waited quietly for him to continue.

The muscles in the corners of Lian Qiao's eyes twitched slightly.He suddenly smiled.The eyebrows are bent, covering the abnormality of the muscles in the corners of the eyes.

"...Maybe a letter of apology can restore everyone's goodwill towards you?" Lian Qiao said.

Liandong suddenly realized: "You are very reasonable." He wanted to write a letter of apology.

Lian Qiao said again: "It's not necessary to write a letter. Maybe you apologize to them in person, and the matter will be over. I'm just giving an example."

Liandong stopped writing, and asked in surprise: "Then what sacrifice are you talking about?"

Lian Qiao smiled, and raised his hand to stroke his eyebrows covered with frost: "Because you have never asked for help in your life, and your self-esteem is so strong, I am afraid that you will not be able to lower your head. How about I go?"

"Why didn't you ask?" Liandong sighed softly, leaned into his ear, and said in a low voice, "Didn't I just beg you when you made me unbearable?"

Lian Qiao was stunned by what he said, and his heart was itchy and hot like being scratched by a kitten.I couldn't speak for a while.

Liandong was in a good mood, pinched his face, and said with a smile: "I have finally learned this trick, and the effect is really outstanding." After speaking, he got up and walked towards his colleagues.

Lian Qiao's face was flushed, but after hearing the phrase "learn this trick", his face changed slightly.

Liandong walked to Liu Xiaoqi's side, bent down, and said something politely.Liu Xiaoqi didn't raise her head, she seemed to be indifferent.

Liandong was not discouraged, and still talked to her in a low voice.Finally, Liu Xiaoqi curled her lips, turned her head and said a few words.

Lonicera smiled as if apologizing, took out her phone, tapped the screen a few times, and then handed the phone to Liu Xiaoqi.

I don't know what she saw on Lonicera's phone, Liu Xiaoqi's expression softened a lot.She tapped the screen a few times, said something to the colleagues around her, and then handed Lonicera's phone to them.

The mobile phone went around in the hands of colleagues, and finally returned to Xu Rendong's hands.Liandong lowered his head to operate, and then chatted with his colleagues for a while.It can be seen that everyone's attitude towards him has eased a lot at this time.

The surrounding temperature also began to rise significantly.

Lian Qiao, who was watching from a distance, wiped the water from his forehead casually, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a gentle smile.

When Lonicera came back, he asked, "What did you tell them?"

Liandong said: "I ordered milk tea for everyone."

Lian Qiao laughed: "You still order milk tea? Why haven't I seen you drink milk tea before?"

"Actually, my colleagues taught me." Liandong didn't know what to think of, and the smile on his face became very distant, "It feels like a long time ago... when we just established our relationship."

"Ok?"

Liandong showed a look of reminiscence, and then shook his head: "I forgot which copy it was, but we were together after it came out. After you moved here, I began to feel... many things that I thought were boring before gradually became interesting. Get up. It’s like the original black and white world has become colorful little by little.”

As Lian Qiao listened, the corners of his mouth turned up higher and higher, but his gaze lowered slightly.

Immediately, as if he had figured something out, a self-deprecating smile flashed in his eyes.Then he raised his hand and gently wiped away the snow on the eyebrows for Lonicera.

Liandong smiled and said: "Oh, why am I so wordy today. I don't want to talk anymore, I have to hurry up."

As he spoke, he picked up a few documents and handed them over to his colleagues.

Xu Rendong's mere fawning behavior of offering milk tea, did not expect to get such a good result.Not only did his colleagues agree to help him share the work, but even the surrounding temperature gradually returned to normal.

The frozen bodies of the two finally warmed up again, the blood in their bodies was surging, and their skins were itchy due to the heat.The jacket couldn't be worn anymore, so he took it off.

Liandong was about to put the jacket back into the equipment bag, but Lian Qiao said: "No, don't bring it."

Liandong was taken aback for a moment, and quickly realized.

it's dark.The ghost is coming out.

That will be the final battle, and no one knows how difficult it will be.The equipment on his body should be simplified if possible, so as to avoid wasting too much energy.The jacket was stuffed in the bag, so it was inconvenient to find things.

Lonicera clicked "Save" in the report file at hand.Not long after, the colleagues also finished the work at hand one after another, stretching their waists one after another.

Liandong raised her head, only to realize that, unknowingly, the office door that had turned into a wall of ice had reappeared.

He glanced at the time, nine o'clock.There is still an hour until ten o'clock.

"Let's go." Liandong took a deep breath.

"Ah."

The two packed their equipment and walked towards the office door.Colleagues were joking and chatting at first, but suddenly stopped and turned all their eyes to Lonicera.

This time, Xu Rendong, who became the focus of attention again, did not feel so disgusted.

He turned his head and smiled at his colleagues: "Goodbye."

Colleagues also waved to him: "See you tomorrow."

At this moment, Xu Rendong's heart was extremely calm.It's not the illusion that I have returned to reality, but the calmness after untying the knot in my heart.

But he didn't notice that when Lian Qiao heard the words "see you tomorrow", his eyes were suddenly red as if he had been stabbed into the heart by a sharp knife.
