partial student

Fantastic Idea Studio has been established for three years. At the beginning of its establishment, it was engaged in the development of teaching and research software, and then, somehow, it started to make games.A recent popular Xianxia game was developed by this studio. Zou Qi is a member of the entire game project team. The game industry does not leave work until eleven o'clock every day, but there is an exception in their studio.

Zou Qi came after ten o'clock, and a few people came in twos and threes in the studio. After he sat down, he put the breakfast he bought on the table. As soon as he opened the bag, a scent overflowed.

Zou Qi bought pot stickers, which is a shop he often goes to, and the taste is good.Zou Qi just took a bite when he heard the sound of the door opening behind him.Zou Qi was stunned for a moment, biting the potsticker in his mouth, his cheeks puffed up, and he stared blankly at the person who came out.

"Zhou...Director Zhou." He faltered, "You are so early?"

Zhou Jiao hiccupped, glanced at the pot stickers on his table, and lazily said, "I stayed up all night and didn't go back."

He was wearing a long black gown and baggy gray trousers, with his hands behind his back, his arms stretched out, and the twisted bones made a "click" sound.

He has thin cheeks and slightly longer black hair, which hangs down the corners of his eyes.Zou Qi stared at his face, swallowed his saliva, and lowered his voice, "Director, you... what are you going to do now?"

Zhou Jiao half-closed his eyes and said to Zou Qi, "Wash your face and brush your teeth."

He went out with a kettle, washed his face, filled the kettle, returned to the office, glanced at Zou Qi, and said to him: "I'm going back first, the data is in the computer, I will use it later."

Zou Qi nodded again and again, turned his chair and asked Zhou Jiao: "Director, have you made the data all night?"

"Well, I'm going back first, and I'll come back tomorrow if I need anything."

Zhou Jiao was not in a good mood, and after saying a word, he walked out with the kettle.

This point in the park is full of colleagues who come to work, and Zhou Jiao is the only one who walks out.When the elevator came up, Zhou Jiao avoided it for a while, and waited for everyone to come out, then he walked in slowly.

It was the season of autumn, it was very cold when I got up early, Zhou Jiao shivered, and when he walked outside, he squinted at the sun that had just hung out.

As usual, when I walked to the corner of the park, I saw four or five stray cats.He paused, fumbled in the pockets of his trousers with both hands, squatted slowly on the ground, and said to the kitten in the corner, "I'm sorry, I forgot to take the cat food."

He stretched out his hand and carefully stroked the head of the kitten that ran to the front.The cats were already familiar with him, and they didn't hide when he touched them. They meowed softly and rubbed their heads towards them.

Zhou Jiao withdrew his hand and stood up on his knees.

Today's weather is fine. Zhou Jiao walked to the dormitory building in the park. He lived on the third floor. The elevator stopped upstairs and did not get off. He didn't take the elevator and went directly up the fire escape.

In the talent apartment in the park, Zhou Jiao was allocated one bedroom and one living room. The house was not too big, but it was well-equipped.

Zhou Jiao took out the key from under the carpet at the door, kicked the door open and went in. The room was not tidy, the clothes he had worn were thrown on the sofa casually, a few pairs of shoes were placed crookedly at the door, and the ones on the shelf next to the TV in the living room It is a figure of their studio game, and Zhou Jiao can receive a game figure model every week.

He put the kettle on the table, drank some water, took two more pills, then curled up on the bed and fell asleep under the quilt.

He slept until the afternoon, and when Zhou Jiao woke up, the sky outside had already dimmed.Zhou Jiao frowned, not feeling how much she had slept.He rubbed his eyes and got up, looking back at the fish tank beside the bed.

"Tun Tun." The crisp and sweet voice stopped abruptly, and he opened his eyes wide to see the dead fish with half of its belly floating out of the fish tank.

He tapped the tank, and the goldfish slowly swam away, while the brightly colored butterfly fish remained motionless.Zhou Jiao stared blankly, his eyelids widening slightly.

He ran out with the fish tank in his arms, and there was an aquatic product shop near the park, and Zhou Jiao was a frequent customer of this shop.

He ran over, stopping and running, his thin body was even more emaciated due to the blackness.He walked to the aquatic product store, pushed open the door, and the wind chime hanging on the door rang. He held the glass tank, sweating on his forehead, and walked in front of the shop owner in a panic.

"Boss, is my fish dead?"

The shop owner glanced at him and said to him: "It's dead, you have to fish it out quickly, do you want to change it to a different type?"

"No." Zhou Jiao shook his head, his face was pale, as if he had lost something most important, trapped in pain and unable to get out.He stared at the dead butterflyfish in the fish tank, and said in a low voice, "When I bought it, the store clearly said it could live for ten years, why did it die?"

"This kind of fish can live for five to ten years. Your fish has lived for ten years, and it is already very extreme. It's not because you didn't raise it well, but it has indeed reached the end of its lifespan."

Waiting for several other colleagues in the studio to come, the task of their project team today is to build the framework of the new game.Zou Qi went to Zhou Jiao's office to export all the data from his computer. Several people gathered around to look at what Zhou Jiao had made. Zou Qi was surprised and said, "Director Zhou directly built the framework for us."

Zou Qi stared at the computer screen, thinking of Zhou Jiao whom he saw earlier, he stood up abruptly, his movement was too sudden, the colleague next to him looked at him suspiciously, "Why are you going?"

Zou Qi pursed his lips, lowered his head, and said softly, "You should take a look at the data first, and I'll go and thank Director Zhou."

Zou Qi went down from the office building, and within a short distance, he saw Zhou Jiao.Director Zhou, who had always been indifferent and indifferent, was holding a glass jar and crying as he walked.He was startled suddenly, and looked around. It was already working hours, and there was no one in the park.Zou Qi suddenly felt as if he had bumped into some shocking secret, scratching his hair, hesitating whether he should go up or not.

Zhou Jiao got closer, Zou Qi trotted a few steps and called him to stop.Zhou Jiao opened his eyelids, his eyelashes were full of tears, and his eyelids were also red. He frowned and looked at Zou Qi.Zou Qi's eyes fell on his face, he couldn't help being taken aback, froze in place, and after a few seconds, he said, "Director, are you okay?"

Zhou Jiao stopped and looked down at the fish tank. His body shook slightly, and the water in the glass tank floated slowly. The butterflyfish named "Tun Tun" gradually sank to the bottom.A drop of accumulated tears fell into the water, and Zou Qi opened his eyes wide, looking at him in bewilderment.

Zhou Jiao's voice was hoarse, "What's your name?"

Zou Qi let out an "ah" and immediately said, "Director, my name is Zou Qi."

"Zou Qi, do you have a shovel?"

"I... I have, Director, wait!"

Zou Qi went upstairs like a gust of wind, Zhou Jiao stood still, and after waiting for a few minutes, Zou Qi ran over panting.He didn't know where he got the shovel in his hand. He showed it to Zhou Jiao. Zhou Jiao held the fish tank and pointed to the corner of the flower bed, "Go over there."

He followed Zhou Jiao, watched him put down the fish tank, and heard him say, "Give me the shovel."

"Director, what are you going to do?" Zou Qi gave him the shovel while talking, and then saw Zhou Jiao squatting by the flower bed, digging a hole with a pile of dirt.

Zhou Jiao didn't say a word, he lowered his head to dig a hole, and fragments of mud splashed on his body.Pale hands grasped the handle of the shovel, the tendons on the arms protruded one by one, and a layer of black was smeared under the nail caps.

Zou Qi stood behind him, and when he was in a daze, he heard Zhou Jiao say, "Help me get Tuntun out."

"Tuntun? What Tuntun?"

"The dead butterflyfish in the tank."

Zhou Jiao went from half-squatting to half-kneeling, looking down at the piled up dirt slope.

Zou Qi turned his head to the side, and what he could see was Zhou Jiao's face as white as paper, and saw him lower his head, tears slid down his cheeks, gathered on the tip of his chin, and then fell down.

A fish that has been raised for ten years will still die, and those who like it to the core will separate.What could be worse in this world than this, Zhou Jiao knelt down on the ground, grabbing a handful of dirt with both hands.

Zou Qi looked at his back anxiously, and when he saw him get up, he took a step back immediately.Zhou Jiao picked up the shovel and handed it back to him, his voice hoarse as if being crushed by glass: "Thank you."

That night Zou Qi suffered from insomnia, tossing and turning in bed, his mind was full of Zhou Jiao during the day.Why is Director Zhou crying?He closed his eyes and opened them again, tossed and turned several times, got up abruptly, went to the kitchen and poured a large glass of cold water.

When he went to work the next day, Zou Qi clicked on it.After a few minutes, colleagues arrived sparsely.Zou Qi was sitting on a chair, staring at the computer absent-mindedly. After finally staying up until lunch time, he asked his colleagues, "Is Director Zhou here?"

"Didn't you come? I heard from HR that the director seems to have taken annual leave to go out of town."

Zou Qi was stunned, "Going to another place? How long will it take?"

"Why do you care so much? If you want to know, ask yourself."

Zou Qi pursed his lips, picked up the phone and put it down again.

The plane arrived at Fengcheng Airport. Zhou Jiao was wearing a thin shirt and carrying a black backpack. He was wearing glasses with silver rims and no frames. The thin lenses covered his beautiful eyes.

Zhou Jiao came out of the airport and went directly to Fengcheng Prison by car. The taxi drove out from the city center, and the wheels rolled on the asphalt road. He looked out the window, the sun fell on his face, and his skin that had not been exposed to light all year round was almost transparent.

The taxi drove to the gate of the detention center, and Zhou Jiao got out of the car with a backpack on his back, looking obediently like a student.

Just like every time he came to see Yan Shu before, he filled out the application and waited outside.

He thought that he would lose sight of Yan Shu like every time before, but he didn't expect that after waiting for two hours, the prison guard came to call him and let him pass.

Through a layer of glass, Zhou Jiao saw Yan Shu being led out from the side door.He hadn't seen Yan Shu for a long, long, long time.

Yan Shu sat in front of him, shaved, with a scar on his forehead, thin cheeks, and an indifferent expression.

When Zhou Jiao saw him, his expression suddenly became excited, and he pointed to the phone on the lower right corner and asked him to answer it.

They were connected by a wire and a microphone. Zhou Jiao held the phone in one hand and leaned on the glass with the other.

He was facing the phone, and before Yan Shu could speak, he said everything first, "Brother, after you left, no one reminded me to eat on time, and no one asked me to wear more clothes in winter. I couldn’t fall asleep by myself, so I had to take medicine. If sleeping pills didn’t work, I doubled the dose. Once I took too much and almost died at home. The aunt who came to clean me saw me and called the emergency call. But I was really a little I don’t want to live, you’re gone, you don’t want to see me anymore, what’s the point of my life.”

Yan Shu looked at him quietly, put his fingertips on the glass, swiped and swiped, and scratched a word.
