Low-key gentleman and high-key gentleman

Reluctantly following others, Ban Yi was taken to a restaurant.Lou Quan made the decision and asked about his taboos, and ordered the dishes.

"The dishes can be served slowly, let's order something to drink first, a cup of raspberry smoothie." Lou Quan didn't even need to look at the menu, and brought up a few signature drinks with ease, "Pineapples, grapefruit, strawberries, and blueberries are all very popular. , what flavor do you like?"

Ban Yi moved his fingertips on the table and licked his lips.Lou Quan followed his gaze and opened the menu for him, with bilingual dish names and pictures on it.

"Same as him." Ban Yi said to the waiter.

Not long after, the waiter served dessert and two cups of raspberry smoothie. The smooth and sweet smoothie was infused with the deliciousness of raspberry juice, and the unsparing raspberry pulp stretched like a swimming pool Get enough sleep.

"It looks delicious." Ban Yi praised, scooped up a full spoonful, and the coldness poured into his forehead, dispelling a little burning and anxiety in his heart.

"Eat slowly." Lou Quan looked at Ban Yi's mouth stained with juice, and unconsciously slowed down his movements. In front of the pleasing beauty, he seemed to forget to eat.

Xu Shi's gaze was too direct, Ban Yi wiped the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, turned his head to look behind him, "Anyone you know?"

"Suddenly it occurred to the ancients that beauty is delicious."

"?"

"Sure enough, there really is such a person. I didn't believe it for more than [-] years before I met you. It's just that there is one thing wrong. Now that you are beautiful, who would have the heart to eat something that is slightly inferior."

Ban Yi touched the wall of the ice glass with his left hand, and put down the spoon, "What are you talking about, you treat me like a girl."

White light flashed in Lou Quan's eyes, he closed his eyes, and continued: "I never regarded you as a girl. There is a saying I told you in the game, it was not very formal at the time, I like it..."

Ben Yi stood up abruptly.

At the table not far away, a few girls who secretly took pictures forgot to turn off the flash were caught and bowed their heads apologetically.

"It's from our school. He's wearing the school uniform of Xinyuan. He should be a freshman. Don't worry, I'll take care of it." Ban Yi frowned, "I'm sorry, but you still don't have to worry about coming out for a meal."

Lou Quan grabbed his wrist, "It's okay, just let them shoot."

"If you let others know that you eat with me, it may have a bad influence on you," Ban Yi lowered his eyes, "Senior doesn't have to do this for me."

Lou Quan then held the back of his hand, stood up, walked to his side, put his arm around Ban Yi's shoulders, looked into his eyes and said seriously: "Aren't we...friends now? We're not friends after this meal. Enemies who have never seen each other for a lifetime. We will have the next meal, the next lecture, the next movie, and the next study room. They can shoot as much as they want. It is my honor to have dinner with you. On this day we will wait It's been a long time, don't let this little thing disturb your mood. Only when you are happy can you live up to my expectations."

Lou Quan's hands were warm, and the smell of soda water on his body was sober and pleasant.Ban Yi looked at him for a while, feeling guilty for some reason, he looked away first, and nodded under Lou Quan's deceptive peach blossom eyes.

Seeing that Ban Yi's expression was loose, Lou Quan pushed him back to his seat.

The strange touch made him look at the back of Ban Yi's neck twice more, the sticky rubber was a little red after sticking it for a long time.

"Have you been wearing the "Holographic GM" sensor patch?"

Ban Yi took off the patch, which was less than half the size of a palm, "Look."

"It's different from the sensor chips on the market. Did you make it yourself?"

"If you are interested, I can take you to the laboratory, and there is a similar experimental product. I started the MR project when I was a freshman. Teacher He always wanted me to do CR, but I didn't want to do purely technical content. "

Three waiters brought out trays of clam soup, brown butter omelette, beetroot squash, platter of halibut and Maryland-style fried chicken, followed by dessert.

Lou Quan played with the patch with great interest, "After the holographic sensing comes out, there are still people working on mixed reality projects. I didn't expect that."

The first chopsticks caught fried chicken, the puff pastry was fragrant with pepper, and the dipping sauce was tomato sauce. Ban Yi took a sip, "Give it back to me."

"It's not good to wear it all the time."

"There is no way, we need to collect photon light field information to ensure natural illumination under the condition of constant relative position." Ban Yi, who mentioned his field knowledge, was confident and calm, exuding unconscious charm, and Lou Quan tempted him to say a few more words , "If you don't pursue CR-level effects, then what direction are you researching?"

"MR glasses that can play holographic games. I'll take you to the laboratory to have a look at it some other day." "Okay."

There is a small bowl of clam soup, the round clam meat is full of oil and smells delicious.Lou Quan brought the small bowl steadily to Ban Yi's dinner plate, "Eat ice and greasy food all at once, in case your stomach can't stand it, drink some soup. Clam soup is the chef's specialty."

Ban Yi took a bite of the clam meat, the soup splashed out, and quickly grabbed a tissue.

"Like a child." Lou Quan smiled.

"It's so fresh, I like this soup."

"As long as you like it. A lot of thought has been put into the soup base, but it's not just clams like it looks on the surface."

Ban Yi chewed the meat in his mouth, his small expression was bubbling with happiness, and he responded with a hmm.Lou Quan stared at it rather amusedly, and gave him another bowl.

There was a commotion at the door.The second floor of the restaurant is a hotel. Regular customers know that there is a fire door at the corner of the restaurant and they can go up directly. Occasionally, someone walks through the restaurant.Ban Yi took a second look.

"By the way, I was almost fooled by you. Did you know my real identity early on?"

Lou Quan said frankly: "It's very early. There are posts on the game forum that picked up your photos."

Ban Yi almost fed a pumpkin up his nose, "When did it happen? I don't even know!"

Lou Quan pointed to the tip of his nose, and put the whole lunch box by Ban Yi's hand: "I've withdrawn it. Even the IP is blocked."

Ban Yi wiped it, "Is there any more?" "A little bit to the left." "Now?"

Lou Quan stood up, leaned over the table, stroked the tip of Ban Yi's nose with the tip of his index finger, and the milky white whipped cream had a salty smell.Ban Yi raised his eyes and felt that Lou Quan's idol halo was infinitely magnified at this moment, and Lou Quan, whose profile was integrated into the sunlight, looked like a god, alienated from all over but so close to him.It was just too foul.

"Well...thank you." Ban Yi touched his eyebrows embarrassedly. This was a small gesture of his habit, covering his eyes and avoiding eye contact.

Eyes are the windows to the soul, cover the windows and avoid injury.Now there is a ray of sunlight lingering around the window, as long as he slightly opens a gap, he can sit on the brilliance.Ban Yi has been licking his wound in a small dark cage for a long time, and he also hopes that someone will listen and bandage him.

If the person who wants to approach him is Lou Quan, a role model he has always admired, then he is willing to cut open his heart and let the other party see his most miserable appearance.

[When you know my most disgusting appearance, are you still willing to reach out and pull me to the light?Even if it is possible to fall into the darkness with me? 】

"Maybe...can you hear me tell a story?"

Lou Quan nodded slightly, "All ears."

Ban Yi let out a long sigh, took a deep breath, repeated it once, took a sip of the melted smoothie, and calmed his trembling hands.

"There was a boy who was born with a thinner voice, and his voice became more and more like a girl's at the beginning of puberty. Although he did his best in every subject, he was as active in sports as other boys, and he had a pair of parents. He is given good looks and a set of correct social etiquette, but others still only pay attention to his voice that is different from ordinary people. Whether it is at the top or the championship trophy, the voice is always discussed.

When I was in junior high school, I somehow blocked someone’s ears. I was blindfolded and beaten, poured boiling water into my mouth, stripped off to only my underwear, and left in a bush of creepers on the back wall of an abandoned teaching building for a day and a night. "Ban Yi was blindfolded, as if he was looking at the sky, as if he was looking at another person. He touched his Adam's apple and smiled, "Unfortunately, the transformation of the voice was not successful, but the timbre of a girl became more mature. "

How could Lou Quan fail to recognize who he was talking about, his brows curled into a few words, "If you feel uncomfortable, don't say it."

"I want to tell. I never told anyone these words. Promise me, don't tell others." Ban Yisu smiled, and the soft light of the restaurant could not conceal his pale face now.

Lou Quan grasped his wrist, "Then treat me as a trash can that will be destroyed automatically. I promise, no third person will know. If you want to say it, just say it."

Ban Yikuang blinked back his tears, and slapped the corners of his eyes with his hands, "He was carried out of the mud by the fire brigade at four o'clock in the morning, and his hands were already purple when he untied them from the chair. Numb from the cold, his mind was abnormally clear, and he didn't say anything to the police. He thought he had survived the darkest time.

I didn't expect that the scene of being beaten the day before yesterday was filmed. Although the video was used as evidence to deal with those teenagers, it has been circulated and circulated. For three years in junior high school and three years in high school, there are always people watching with pity He, even some good people came to ask him with a video, and he refused to let go of his last dignity. "

Lou Quan silently held Ban Yi's wrist, neither offensive nor unfamiliar, and gave him a little support.Ban Yi broke down emotionally, lowered his head and covered his face with his hands, and smiled with the corners of his mouth, "It's too embarrassing, I don't want to cry. I'm going to the bathroom."

The impact of this incident on Ban Yi is obvious, and it indirectly led to his current lack of self-confidence. He tried to keep a low profile as much as possible, so as not to get too popular and cause unnecessary disasters.

Lou Quan stared at Subai's plate and didn't know what he was thinking. After a long while, he took out his mobile phone, a portable USB flash drive, and a smart keyboard. After connecting them, he built a mind map.

After 5 minutes, Ban Yi still hasn't come back.Lou Quan looked at his own train of thought and simply typed the first line of code.

Lou Quan compiled a concise source code on his mobile phone, perfected his ideas, and spent a week after returning to finalize the program.Once Ban Yi's face and related entries are detected, it will automatically start remote 404, report and automatically process social group information.Since then, Ban Yi has never seen those previous videos again.

He doesn't say.Ban Yi himself didn't know what Lou Quan was doing behind his back.These are all things for later.

Let's talk about today.

Ban Yi wiped his face in the bathroom, bangs on his forehead hung down his sides like seaweed.His eyebrows and eyes are like green hills. From a distance, he is clear and straight, plump and handsome, and from a close look, he is delicate and well-proportioned, completely natural.Any amount of flesh on his face will not affect his current handsomeness.After all, makeup doesn't help him much, but it does a lot to boost Ban Yi's self-confidence.He is like a rough jade, confidence is polished.

Ban Yi twitched the corners of his mouth in front of the mirror, the light makeup on his face was still the same even after being moistened with water and tears, and it didn't get blurred. It can be said that Wen Wen's cosmetics are very reliable.

Thinking of this, Ban Yi thought it was a little funny, so he sent a text message to Wen Wen.When I was texting, I was standing at the door of the bathroom, and suddenly I was bumped, "Well, it's okay."

But he didn't see the other party apologizing, instead he picked up Ban Yi, "Hey, you... are you that Ban Yi?"

The smell of alcohol mixed with the fishy smell of seafood rushed over pungently, Ban Yi endured and took a step back, "Do we know each other?"

"Hey, that's the sissy voice. I'm wondering, I'm rich and masculine, how can I not compare to you, Fanghua actually likes a sissy like you?" Yi attacked, missed his head, and threw himself at the sink with porcelain makeup, kowtowed a big red envelope on his forehead, "MD, you dare to hit me!"

"..." Ban Yi.

"I have to teach you a lesson today, you little boy!" The drunken man took off his coat and walked towards the toilet with arrogance.

Ban Yi standing outside the bathroom: ...

[Although he is in the wrong direction, I won't remind him.Smile. 】

Ban Yi took advantage of the situation and slipped away. Before the spectators gathered together, the hostesses dispersed.

Lou Quan was pulling out the USB flash drive when he returned to his seat, and Ban Yi glanced at the code code software of the same style, "Busy? Is there an urgent task in the department that needs you, just go and leave me alone."

Lou Quan put down his phone when his footsteps approached, and inserted a fork into the newly installed fruit plate, "It's a small matter. It doesn't hinder us from eating. Seasonal fruits, pearl awns, try it?"

The peel of the Pearl Mango is orange-yellow and bright red, like a young boy blushing.

Lou Quan slowly inserted a small fork into the mango pieces, and Ban Yi directly poked a small piece with the original fork in the fruit plate and ate it.

Lou Quan didn't have time to stop: "That's me..."

"Ok?"

"I used it."

Ban Yi slowly licked the mango juice with the tip of his tongue, and realized what he meant after a while.His face slowly turned red, "Good friends eat each other's forks, it's nothing."

"Really? You and your roommate do the same?"

Ban Yi kicked Lou Quan under the table.Lou Quan immediately changed his words, "Normal, normal. Roommates are roommates, good friends are good friends, and we are good friends who exchange forks."

We ate and chatted about why we chose this major.

"Game design has a refreshing feeling of standing behind the scenes and controlling everything." Ban Yi ate fried eggs with guacamole, and smacked for a while.

"I understand. When I was in high school, my dad was imprisoned for financial fraud, and I was always said to be the son of a criminal. My mother originally believed that my dad was framed, but she couldn't stand being told too much. Later, she and my dad Divorced. So I can understand why you don't like to be conspicuous in front of others." Lou Quan shook his head, "However, there is no way for me to give up being myself for the sake of others all my life. No matter how good a person is, he can't be caught by others. Gossiping about his shortcomings. Guess what happened to my dad?"

Ban Yi smiled triumphantly, "I know, you cleared your father's grievances by yourself."

"how do you know?"

"I designed the game for my idol's exam," Ban Yi generously said, "You are my idol."

When I conceived it in my heart, I felt frank, but when I said it, I felt an inexplicable sense of shame.

Ban Yi pretended to be calm and took a sip of the raspberry smoothie.

"When you said that, I remembered one thing. I think when you proposed, why did you refuse me? You said you wanted to confess to Lou Quan, but you missed the opportunity. Come on, let me give you a confession." Opportunity." Lou Quan teased as if he just remembered it "suddenly".Ban Yi's little eyes wandered wildly, pretending he didn't hear it.

Lou Quan admired Ban Yi's guilty conscience, even if he put it in front of his eyes, he couldn't get enough of it all day, why there was always a new little expression, like a cat's paw, he couldn't help wanting more.

Ever since he saw Ban Yi's post on the forum for the first time a year ago, he had an inexplicable possessive desire, and deleted the post again and again, not wanting others to see his treasure.

He has already carefully investigated what Ban Yi told him today. Some of the culprits got into trouble again because of other things, and some are honest now.What hurt Ban Yi was not only that incident, but also the aftermath of that incident.

In the eyes of everyone, being marked with a mark, a brand of shame.Lou Quan himself has a deep understanding.Even if the person who made the mistake was someone else, even if he was wronged, in the eyes of the onlookers, the facts are not important.

Maybe time can heal the scars. I am much luckier than Ban Yi, and I can replace it with a new title, and my mind is mature at that time. In addition to attracting a few gangsters who recruited members and temporarily affecting the file, "Son of a Criminal" Did not cause any psychological impact on myself.But because of Ban Yi's pretty face and exposed body, the video was constantly spread. He was only in junior high school at that time, and for ordinary people, he might be depressed or go abroad.

But Ban Yi is different.He has low self-esteem in the past, tried his best to save himself, and did not hide his flaws. His light in the professional field is like a small moon, which makes people happy and heart-warming.

【You said, I am your idol.In my heart, are you not the direction of my heart? 】
