Those years when I was taken away by the boss

A large difference in the number of tasks means that one of the two will always leave first. Zheng Zhusi proposed this sentence in order to help Zhong Ruji narrow the gap between the two.

Zhong Ruji accepted this kindness, and said with a smile: "I don't need it when I'm still around, and when I'm gone...no matter what it is, I have to count on you."

The first type of absence refers to leaving the mission area after completing the number of tasks, and the second type of absence refers to any form of disappearance such as death.

Zhong Ruji stopped the car and took out the key, then unconsciously added: "He's quite smart, he doesn't need to be taught by hand, and he doesn't need special protection."

Hearing what he said, Zheng Zhusi suddenly felt a little complicated, "If he doesn't know all this time, what should you do?"

Zhong Ruji smiled as if thinking of something, and said calmly: "There is nothing to do."

"Huh." Zheng Zhusi leaned back in his chair, reached down with his left hand to unfasten his seat belt, "Then what if he also has that intention in mind."

"I won't let him go."

Zheng Zhusi paused, and when he looked up again, Zhong Ruji had already opened the car door and left.

The other party closed the car door and knocked on the glass twice.

Zheng Zhusi lowered his head and smiled, bent over and got out of the car door.

Yes, who can willingly let go of the person he wants.

The door of the villa opened and closed, and Yu Yan, who had wandered outside for a day, finally returned to her home.

"Hey, Yu Yan, you're back." Ping Yiqiu took a few cups of yogurt and handed him a cup when he came back.

"Yeah." Yu Yan took the yogurt, looked at the logo on the cover, "You bought this?"

Ping Yiqiu bit the straw and shook his head: "No, Brother Zhong bought it."

Yu Yan: "...Huh?"

"Brother Zhong bought it." Ping Yiqiu pretended he didn't hear clearly, and repeated it briskly.

"..."

"Huh?" Ping Yiqiu looked up strangely, "What are you doing, sit down."

Yu Yan plugged in the straw and took a sip, a little sour mixed with a little sweetness.It's not like the taste that Zhong Ruji would like.

"Brother Zhong and the others should be coming back soon, and you can go and fight Brother Zhong later." Ping Yiqiu smoked one box, then fished another box while drinking and thinking, "If five people eat, at least You have to cook five dishes."

"What's the situation, Brother Zhong wants to cook?" Yu Yan had to ask at this point, he glanced at the empty yogurt box on the coffee table, "Shu Shi is here?"

"Hey, how do you know?" Ping Yiqiu gave him a surprised look, and gave him a thumbs up, "Smart."

"Did they go out together, where is Zheng Zhusi?"

Ping Yiqiu was puzzled: "Huh? Where are they? Zheng Zhusi went shopping for groceries."

"..." Yu Yan was about to ask, when a figure came from the direction of the bathroom out of the corner of her eye.

"How do you feel, shouldn't you feel like throwing up?" Ping Yiqiu sat up straight and asked.

The hair on Shu Shi's forehead was a little wet, and his eyebrows and eyes looked more temperamental. He said, "Well, I feel much better."

He looked at Yu Yan, and Yu Yan was also looking at him.

"Don't look, you two know each other, so you don't need to say hello." Ping Yiqiu patted the place next to him casually, and greeted Shu Shi to come over, "Sit down, let's continue talking."

Shu Shi smiled back at Yu Yan, walked over and sat next to Ping Yiqiu, without thinking about what Ping Yiqiu meant by "you both know each other".

He glanced back inadvertently, the door was opened, and the two grocery buyers finally came back.

Shu Shi's eyes lit up, then he looked at Ping Yiqiu and Yu Yan, and put down the thought that was almost put into action in his heart.Afraid of impoliteness, he turned his head back.

Zhong Ruji took a look at him and probably knew what was going on.

The first time you communicate, you really have to leave a good impression in front of others. There is a kind of person who is always polite in front of outsiders.

Zheng Zhusi ran to the kitchen with the vegetables, and Zhong Ruji walked behind with the eggs in his hands.

Soon, Zheng Zhusi poked his head out from the kitchen and shouted, "Yu Yan, come here and help cook!"

Usually they stay in the villa, either playing on the sofa or working in front of the computer, this is the first time that they are a little smokey.

Not long after Yu Yan sat down, he was called to do something again. He sighed and stood up to go to the kitchen.

Zhong Ruji took out a few eggs for cooking, and put the rest in the refrigerator.

After closing the refrigerator door, he gave Zheng Zhusi a look.

Zheng Zhusi understood, and when Yu Yan came in, he shouted out again: "Ping Yiqiu, what are you doing sitting, you want to eat instead of work!"

"Come here right away! You only eat and don't work!" Ping Yiqiu sat on the sofa without thinking and went back.

After yelling, he felt something was wrong again, and turned his head to look over.

Shu Shi smiled politely.

"Cough, no, I didn't mention you." Ping Yiqiu immediately remedied, "We wouldn't be able to eat without you, I'm leaving, remember to leave a box of yogurt for me."

Shu Shi: "Yes."

Ping Yiqiu touched his nose and walked to the kitchen.

Zhong Ruji came out of the kitchen and put the things in his hand on the coffee table.

He moved the trash can next to his legs, and said to the only person who was sitting securely on the sofa, "Peel it off."

Shu Shi glanced at the few bulbs of garlic, stretched out his hand to grab one, and broke the garlic cloves with his hands.

Zhong Ruji also took one and peeled it slowly, and asked, "Are you not used to getting along with them?"

Shu Shi threw the thin garlic skins into the trash can, and replied: "... a little bit, just touch it more."

Zhong Ruji said: "Yu Yan is not very talkative, Ping Yiqiu likes to chat with people, you can get to know him first."

"I got it," Shu Shi sighed, and couldn't help smiling, "I really like chatting with people." He almost couldn't stand it.

"If you can't get along, don't force yourself, you can stay in my room." Zhong Ruji glanced at the shadows in the kitchen.

"En." Shu Shi replied, and at the same time, a little delicate emotion arose in his heart because he was taken care of.

He never takes the initiative to get in touch with people, so he is relatively introverted and always cautious when dealing with unfamiliar people.Zhong Ruji could see through his emotions, and even acted as his nerve relaxant occasionally.

Shu Shi lowered his head and put the peeled garlic cloves on the paper towel: "But since it's your friend, we must get to know each other."

Zhong Ruji laughed: "Why do I have to know my friends?"

There are many ambiguities in this statement, and it depends on how the other party interprets it.

Unexpectedly, Shu Shi answered with a smile: "Because I still have to come to eat."

Straightforward, not at all polite.

Zhong Ruji: "..."

Zhong Ruji: "You will starve to death."

Shu Shi laughed a few times: "I'm just kidding, of course my friend's friends need to get to know each other."

Zhong Ruji glanced at him and said nothing, which was his tacit consent.

"I will definitely come again in the future. It would be weird if I didn't say hello every time." Shu Shi added, his brows relaxed naturally, "Some people have to be known."

"Hey, we're done peeling, let's go cook." Shu Shi stuffed a bunch of tissues to Zhong Ruji, smiling so hard that his eyes rolled.

Zhong Ruji felt helpless, took the peeled garlic cloves and went to the kitchen.

For Shu Shi, Zhong Ruji's cooking is normal, but for the other three, it is a rare event in a century.

As long as one of the four of them is willing to cook, they don't have to go out to eat every day.

Zheng Zhusi knew who it was thanks to, and Yu Yan also understood, but Ping Yiqiu was still kept in the dark, thinking that it was a guest at home, so he entertained him.

When Zhong Ruji was cooking, Ping Yiqiu couldn't hold back and got into the kitchen, and took the dishes in and out graciously.

After being tossed all afternoon, Shu Shi was a little unmotivated. He fell asleep after looking at his phone for a while, and he still didn't wake up when the meal was ready.

"You guys eat first, I'll go over and call him." Zhong Ruji greeted and told the three of them not to wait for them.

There were no less than ten boxes of empty yogurt boxes on the coffee table, Zhong Ruji glanced at them, thinking he had to buy more next time.

He bent down, gently pushed Tuishu's arm, and said when he saw someone squint his eyes: "Get up and eat, I'll take you back after eating, and go back to sleep."

Ping Yiqiu, holding the bowl and paying attention to the movement here, finally realized the difference, he asked in a daze, "Brother Zhong is not too gentle..."

Zheng Zhusi was too lazy to answer him, and Yu Yan didn't want to talk.

Then Ping Yiqiu trembled again, and let out a snort: "If Brother Zhong treats me like this, I'll be scared to death."

Zheng Zhusi: "..." The child is hopeless.

Shu Shi barely opened his eyes wide, answered vaguely, sat up and scratched his hair.

Zhong Ruji pushed down the stupid hair on his head: "Go to the bathroom to wash your hands, and then eat."

"okay."

The process of eating will certainly not be quiet.

After all, there is Ping Yiqiu.

Ping Yiqiu swallowed the rice, and asked: "Brother Zhong, your cooking is so delicious, why haven't I seen you cooking?"

"Haven't you ever cooked..." Shu Shi glanced at Zhong Ruji beside him.

Zheng Zhusi kicked Ping Yiqiu at the bottom, and gave a warning look.

When special treatment is too obvious, fools know what's going on.

Ping Yiqiu's simple mind doesn't mean that Shu Shi couldn't think of it, if he stabbed the basket inadvertently, it would be a tragedy in the world.

Zheng Zhusi kicked lightly and hardly made any movement, Ping Yiqiu looked at him innocently.

"Ah, not necessarily, maybe he has opened a small stove himself, but we don't know about it haha." Ping Yiqiu said, and thought he was witty changing the question, "Hey, let's not talk about this, Brother Zhong has been working for hundreds of years. I'm not going to the primary level anymore, I'm super curious about how you pass the quest, are you punching NPCs and kicking ghosts!"

Zhong Ruji glanced up.

Ping Yiqiu was having fun while talking, and Zheng Zhusi almost broke his chopsticks.

Sure enough, it was a mistake to put Ping Yiqiu on the dinner table!

Yu Yan ate quietly and put a lot of food into his stomach. At this time, he listened to Ping Yiqiu dig a hole for himself as if he was watching a play.

Speaking of ghosts, Shu Shi lowered his eyelids, smiled and said, "Actually, it's okay, he's not that violent."

Zheng Zhusi gritted his teeth and said to Ping Yiqiu: "Didn't you already say that you are C-level? Why are you asking?"

Ping Yiqiu: "I..."

Zhong Ruji stopped his chopsticks, glanced at them both, and said, "Don't talk when you eat, don't talk when you sleep."

Zheng Zhusi picked up a chopstick dish and put it in Ping Yiqiu's bowl, and said with a smile: "Eat, let's talk after we have something to say."

Ping Yiqiu: "Oh..."

Ping Yiqiu stopped talking, and the dinner table suddenly became quiet.

After An Fen finished the meal, Ping Yiqiu put down his chopsticks when he saw Shu, and was about to talk.

Zhong Ruji got up and said to Shu Shi: "Let's go, I'll take you back."

"Yeah." Shu Shi pulled a tissue and smiled at Ping Yiqiu, "I'm leaving first, let's talk next time we meet."

"Okay...then will you come tomorrow?" Ping Yiqiu asked with unrequited interest.

Shu Shi glanced at Zhong Ruji, and replied with a smile, "Maybe."

After bidding farewell to Yu Yan and Zheng Zhusi, Shu Shi followed Zhong Ruji out.

"Go back and rest more, you can come to me later tomorrow. Tomorrow's training will be the same as today, and the floor should be as high as possible." Zhong Ruji looked at the road in front of him, speaking to the people around him.

"Okay." Shu Shi agreed.

During training today, Zhong Ruji said that it was really good to be with him. The two of them went up and down more than ten times. They jumped from high places together, fell on the inflatable cushion together, and slowly climbed up the stairs together.

Even if you're not afraid of heights, jumping so many times can be uncomfortable.

After getting out of the car and saying goodbye to Zhong Ruji briefly, Shu Shi turned around and entered the eighth district, took out his phone and looked at it.

Li Haoyou sent him a message, asking why he was not at home, and said that he was going to have dinner with him.He walked into the elevator and typed a reply.

After returning home, Shu Shi entered the bathroom in less than 10 minutes.

The warm water flowed down his back, and he closed his eyes comfortably in the room full of heat, thinking that taking a bath is indeed a good way to relieve fatigue.

Feeling dizzy, Shu Shi didn't stay in the bathroom much.

At most, a human figure appeared on the mirror covered with water vapor. He stared at it for a few seconds and murmured to the mirror: "On the first day, the challenge was successful."

Before her hair was dry, Shu Shi pulled a clean towel and put it on her head, and sat cross-legged on the bed to reply to the message.

After chatting with Li Hao, it was almost 09:30.

too early.

But still have to sleep.

Shu Shi got out of bed and turned off the lights. The water stains on the slippers were not dry, and there were sound effects when he walked. He went to turn off the lights, and then climbed onto the bed all the way.

"Hey, it's comfortable."

"Time to sleep, good night."

Not long after Zhong Ruji came back, he went to his room. His business was delayed for half a day, so he had to find time to solve it.

After clearing the dinner plate, Ping Yiqiu sipped yogurt on the sofa and said, "I think Shu Shi has a good personality, and he feels very gentle."

Zheng Zhusi chewed a piece of potato chips, and laughed inexplicably: "Whether he is gentle or not has nothing to do with you."

Ping Yiqiu didn't care: "It has nothing to do with me, but it has something to do with Brother Zhong."

Zheng Zhusi glanced at him.

Ping Yiqiu: "...Oh no, why do I say that?"

Zheng Zhusi laughed and scolded the idiot.

At this moment, Yu Yan also came over. He put the fruit plate on the tea table, sat beside Zheng Zhusi, and asked hesitantly, "Brother Zhong...is that what I think?"

Zheng Zhusi pretended to be confused and said with a smile, "What do you think?"

"Don't pretend to be stupid." Yu Yan smiled helplessly, "His change is too obvious, you can see it."

"Well, it's quite obvious." Zheng Zhusi commented pertinently.

Yu Yan said again: "But they haven't known each other for long."

"That's from our point of view." Zheng Zhusi folded the unfinished bag of potato chips, and poked an apple in the fruit plate, "How do you know how long they have been together in the mission space?"

Yu Yan nodded, but still said: "Two missions, one month at most."

Zheng Zhusi suddenly smiled: "Isn't one month enough?"

"No, I just think," Yu Yan sighed, "it came too suddenly."

"It's a bit sudden, but he's serious, without any falsehood." Zheng Zhusi recalled Zhong Ruji's expression at that time, smiled and said, "You and I know what kind of person he is. , there is absolutely no reason to let go.”

"It's just that it's really sad that you always brush tasks like this, and you only meet the one you like when you're almost at the top." Zheng Zhusi said, "It's really a trick of luck."

Yu Yan frowned: "Why don't we let him delay the mission for a while, and let's help him take it?"

Really thought of going together.

Zheng Zhusi smiled and said, "No need. We talked about it, and he meant that he would carry it all the time, and please ask us when he's gone. But I think we won't need to take it by then."

"Yeah." Yu Yan understood.

Zheng Zhusi: "I don't know what's going on. I saw that he trained people hard today, but it feels different from our training."

Ping Yiqiu, who had been silent for a long time, finally had a place to use, raised his hand and said: "I know, Shu Shi is afraid of heights, they went to the long building."

"Tsk tsk, look, other people who are afraid of heights go to the machine simulation first, but he is good enough to lead people to actual combat." Zheng Zhusi said in surprise, "You say it's okay, it's really good, it's ruthless, It's also really ruthless."

Yu Yan was silent.

"Listen to what you're talking about... Does Brother Zhong, do you like Shu Shi..." Ping Yiqiu couldn't quite believe this guess.

Hearing this, Zheng Zhusi glanced at him, and casually said, "No, what are you talking about."

Ping Yiqiu knew what was going on just by looking at his expression, picked up a pillow and threw it over: "Don't lie to me, think I'm stupid?!"

As soon as these words came out, Zheng Zhusi couldn't hold back anymore. He hugged the pillow and laughed loudly. After laughing, he coaxed: "I'm sorry, I didn't think you were stupid, but can you not put all your brain in space? Use your smart brain, okay?"

Ping Yiqiu curled his lips: "I am willing, I want you to take care of it."

"Don't talk about anything else, just ask if you are?" Ping Yiqiu said again, "Does Shu Shi know? Does he like Brother Zhong?"

Yu Yan also looked at Zheng Zhusi.

"Nonsense, does he like being able to treat others so well?" Zheng Zhusi ate a piece of banana slowly, and continued to answer the next question, "Shu Shi definitely doesn't know, I can't say if he likes it or not, Brother Zhong said he didn't mean that." .”

"What Brother Zhong said doesn't count." Ping Yiqiu directly denied, "I think it's a little bit. When I talked about Brother Zhong when I was chatting with him, he became much more interested."

"But I have to say, it's better if it's just one side. If it's two people who are in love..." Zheng Zhusi said, covering his chest and sighing, "That's really miserable."

Ping Yiqiu opened his mouth to refute something, but stopped after thinking about it, and sighed deeply.

"Oh, that's fine, we don't have to worry about his affairs." After Zheng Zhusi sighed, he stood up and said to Ping Yiqiu specifically, "In the future, just watch and talk, he doesn't want to expose it."

After Zheng Zhusi left, Ping Yiqiu sat next to Yu Yan, poked a piece of fruit into his mouth, and said unfairly: "I was always worried that Brother Zhong didn't like someone, but now that I have someone I like, I'm even more worried. , what's the matter..."

Yu Yan also poked at the piece of fruit, but didn't answer.

Compared with yesterday, Shu Shi's reaction after training today was not so violent.

The two days of training were exactly the same, Zhong Ruji was still dancing with him, and he was still stuck at the height of the fourth floor.

Shu Shi glanced at Zhong Ruji, who was driving, and was not sure about his attitude, so he could only tentatively say: "Well, try the fifth floor next time."

Zhong Ruji: "Yes."

Indifference.

Shu Shi silently grabbed the seat belt, quietly shut up and didn't speak.

It wasn't his fault that he was afraid of heights.

Back at the villa, all three of Ping Yiqiu were there, and they were sitting in front of their computer desks.

Shu Shi followed Zhong Ruji, always observing his expression.

After being watched for a long time, Zhong Ruji couldn't help but said: "Can I eat you? What are you looking at?"

Shu Shi replied weakly: "No...it's not because you haven't laughed all the time, I don't know what to do."

Zhong Ruji is not a person who loves to laugh, and occasionally his face darkens when he thinks of something.So this kind of expression is extremely normal in the eyes of those who are familiar with him, and Shu Shi was the first one to be cowardly because he didn't smile.

Zhong Ruji really wanted to laugh a little when he heard this, but fortunately he maintained his facial expression and curled the corners of his lips pretending not to be cold.

At this time, Ping Yiqiu, who was in the same posture as Zheng Zhusi, hid behind the computer, and commented upon seeing this interaction: "What should you say, tsk tsk tsk."

"Shut up, you're yelling at me." Zheng Zhusi patted him on the head.

Ping Yiqiu immediately stared back at him.

Yu Yan, who was working hard, glanced at the two idiots with disgust, and by the way, also glanced at the two people whose surrounding atmosphere was not quite right.

"Hey, then you better stop laughing, it's scary." Shu Shi said again.

The expressionless Zhong Ruji's aura still exists, and when he smiles and doesn't smile, it gives people the illusion that he will be caught in the next moment.

Zhong Ruji really smiled this time, without saying anything else, he turned to the kitchen to see what other ingredients were left.

Shu Shi subconsciously followed, and when he got to the kitchen, he realized that it was a mistake for him to come here.

"They're working, don't go out, help wash the vegetables." Seeing him follow in, Zhong Ruji stuffed the fresh vegetables into his hand.

Shu Shi took the dish and said, "Oh..."

He untied the rope from the green vegetables, scattered the vegetables in the sink, turned on the tap to store water, and couldn't help but look at the clock like a season.

"Aren't you going to cook? Should we go over and help?" Ping Yiqiu first glanced at Zheng Zhusi, who was a thief, and then turned his head to look at Yu Yan, "Huh?"

Yu Yan directly refused: "No."

Zheng Zhusi was happy, and encouraged him: "Go and go, I'm busy."

Now both Shu Shi and Zhong Ruji are inside, whoever goes in will be the brightest.

"Not going?" Ping Yiqiu asked again, unsure, "Then I'm going?"

"Go, go." Zheng Zhusi pushed him with a smile, and offered his sincere blessings, "I wish you peace."

"Hiss...Zheng Zhusi, you want to be beaten!" Ping Yiqiu recalled, grabbed Zheng Zhusi's clothes and punched him.

"You go by yourself, I didn't force you!" Zheng Zhusi quickly blocked his hand, and said in a very weak way, "If you hit me again, I will turn my face!"

"Turn, I see you turn out a flower!"

"It's been a long time since I've seen you that I don't like, it's you who beat me up!"

Even Shu Shi in the kitchen heard the two of them arguing. He looked outside and smiled slightly.

"After washing the dishes, go to my room, and choose one of the intermediate tasks on the second page of the computer." Zhong Ruji knocked open the eggshell, "The tasks inside are all within a limited range."

Shu Shi was startled for a while, but didn't speak.

"If you don't choose, I'll just draw one." Zhong Ruji looked up at him, "What's wrong?"

Shu Shi gathered up the green vegetables and said casually: "No, you can pick any one, I don't know how to pick."

Zhong Ruji glanced at him, then lowered his eyes and replied: "Yes."

Until the meal was ready, the three of them had never entered the kitchen, but when the two of them came out, Zheng Zhusi keenly sensed the unusual smell.

"It's weird." Zheng Zhusi muttered while observing.

"What's so strange?" Ping Yiqiu was working on something. Hearing this, he glanced sideways at him, and immediately began to dislike him again, "Zheng Zhusi, can you be a normal person?"

"Hey, let me ask you, which domestic pig was lying here just now?" Zheng Zhusi was not annoyed, and pointed at the place where Ping Yiqiu had been spying on the kitchen not long ago.

Ping Yi Qiuteng moved his paw aside, and countered childishly: "You are a pig."

"I don't care as much as you do." Zheng Zhusi leaned back, gently rocking the swivel chair, very leisurely.

When it was time to eat, the two people in the kitchen brought out the dishes one after the other, and Ping Yiqiu sat at the table very consciously without being called.

Ping Yiqiu's eyes were filled with anticipation, Zhong Ruji took a look and then lost his eyes to look again, but Shu Shi couldn't help it, and kept laughing all the way.

With Ping Yiqiu around, Shu Shi was not too silent in the villa.It's just that Yu Yan doesn't like to take the initiative, and Zheng Zhusi always maintains a wait-and-see attitude, so that he hardly communicates with the other two.

But even so, the atmosphere in the villa is getting warmer day by day. In Ping Yiqiu's words, it looks like a home at last.
