Ha ha

Seeing Xu Chenchuan made his heart tremble: "What's wrong?"

Is it idealism?

Bai Qi smiled and turned his gaze: "Your English is good?"

"It's okay...why do you ask that?"

Bai Qi pointed to the idle books he just bought on the table: "These two books are about translation theory."

"Hey, have you seen it too?" Xu Chenchuan raised his eyebrows in surprise.Thinking about it again, it seems that I met the other party in the foreign language section last time. "Could it be that you also do translation?"

Bai Qi shook his head with a half-smile: "Too professional, I can't do it."

"Ah, I'm not talking about professional translators. Do you know subtitles?"

When the waiter served the dishes, Bai Qi raised his chopsticks to hold a little symbolically, and then looked at Xu Chenchuan.Xu Chenchuan found a common topic and enthusiastically explained: "It is to make Chinese subtitles for foreign language movies, TV dramas or other programs. You don't need professional translation knowledge. You can try to do it with a certain foundation in English, and you can also improve in the process. English is a very interesting job."

"Does that work pay?"

Xu Chenchuan was stunned: "Generally speaking, there is no such thing."

"Then why do you still have to do it? Just to practice English?"

"Hmm—everyone's idea is different. Some people may really just want to practice English, some people are pursuing a sense of belonging to the group, some people like plots, and some people enjoy the fun of translation. I probably have a little bit of each. Oh, by the way, one more thing is that you will meet a lot of interesting people in the group."

"For example?" Bai Qi asked casually.

"For example... I thought she was a non-mainstream girl, but she turned out to be a technically talented boy."

The chopsticks in Bai Qi's hands froze.

"There are also uncles who deceive the masses by acting cute and tender."

"That's not interesting, it's just perverted."

"There is also the strangest guy." Xu Chenchuan raised the corner of his mouth, "he is extremely high-level, he works seriously like he has obsessive-compulsive disorder, and looks like he is not interested in anything other than translation. He never participates in group chats." , every time he shows up either to talk about business affairs or to hit people. Everyone admires him, but they are also afraid of him. He is almost a person who only lives in his own world."

Bai Qi raised his head slowly.

Xu Chenchuan was looking directly at him, and said softly with feeling: "That kind of person, when the subtitles were stolen in the group and everyone had no clue, he found strong evidence faster than anyone else."

There seemed to be a moment of silence around.With four eyes facing each other, Bai Qi's eyes fixed on those peach blossom eyes, as if he wanted to see through every detail.

—Has he found out?How did you find out?

Xu Chenchuan looked away, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I told you these inexplicable things."

"……fine."

"Actually, I just want to say that if you have time, you might as well give it a try. It will definitely benefit you."

"It's not all about benefits, is it?"

"Ah?" Xu Chenchuan reacted, "Oh, of course, the subtitle group is not a paradise, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. But... I still think it's worth it." He considered the words, "Because the people you make friends with on the Internet You can choose by yourself. Groups divided according to interests and ideas are more loose and fragile than groups bound by interests, but they are also precious because of this.

"Those who use the fig leaf of the Internet to sabotage wantonly will only get negative emotions in the end. But those who give their emotions will always get something in return." Xu Chenchuan glanced at the two translated books, " In such an environment, emotional investment becomes the only investment, or rather it requires heart-for-heart more than reality.”

Bai Qi lowered his eyes, slowly scooping up the soup.

Xu Chenchuan waited for a while before hearing him say: "Well said."

Xu Chenchuan didn't hear the expected sarcasm, Xu Chenchuan couldn't help showing a suspicious expression.Bai Qi saw it, and laughed in his heart: "It's really good. But have you ever thought about how many people can take a pastime as seriously as you? If you show your sincerity, maybe no one will change it with you?"

"That's okay, I'll just do it according to my own standards. Besides," Xu Chenchuan said with a smile, "The people I mentioned before are all the same kind I was lucky enough to meet."

The conversation came to an abrupt end.

Xu Chenchuan couldn't find a topic to talk about, so he could only eat in suspense.But Bai Qi didn't feel embarrassed, and let the silence continue.

Even Xu Chenchuan retreated in his heart.Forget it, Kong has a deceptive face, but there are icicles in all directions.Not only is it not warm, but it is also painful.

The meal ended anticlimactically.Xu Chenchuan called the waiter to check out, turned his head to look out the window, and asked: "The rain hasn't stopped, is it convenient for you to go back?"

The other party tilted his head: "Are you going to take me home?"

"Okay.—Huh?"

Xu Chenchuan finished answering without thinking, only to feel that there was a nasty ambiguity in the conversation.To strike up a conversation, treat guests, and send them home, the next step should be... Xu Chenchuan raised his eyes a little guilty, but met the other party's smile.

He suddenly realized that the other party understood.

This cognition made Xu Chenchuan difficult to digest for a while, he looked away at a loss, and glanced at the rain curtain outside.

After admiring his reaction enough, Bai Qi smiled lightly and controlled the wheelchair to slide towards the door: "I brought an umbrella, so I won't bother you."

Bai Qi's movement attracted a lot of attention.The waiter who brought the change took a surprised look at Xu Chenchuan who stayed where he was, with slander written on his face.Xu Chenchuan struggled to catch up two steps: "Let me..."

The back of the wheelchair blocked the opponent's figure, and only a pale hand could be seen waving: "See you by fate."

"Ah...bye."

Xu Chenchuan watched him disappear outside the door with complicated emotions.

The rain was waning, and the pavement smelled of dust and grass.A huge drop of water fell from the branches and leaves of the street tree, and hit the back of Bai Qi's hand heavily, breaking into countless petals.Bai Qi lowered his head, staring at the cold mark on his hand.

Kind of like that, he thought.
