Is Mr. Ling doing well today?

Night shrouded.

After 11:30, the corridor outside the apartment door was silent.

Liang Zhao had already knocked on the neighbor's door two hours ago, but until now, the person living in 1202 still hasn't shown up.

The clock on the computer screen was beating every minute and every second, and there was a new document called "Problem Opening Report" in the lower left corner of the system desktop.

This is the weekend homework that Ling Xuan revised but forgot to submit. The deadline marked in it is 24:[-] tonight.He is not at home so late, probably will not come back.

Liang Zhao glanced at the remaining ten minutes, sighed lightly, clicked the mouse, and dragged the document into the chat dialog box with Wu Ze.

[ok.]

It was almost an instant message.

After 2 minutes of silence, the other party sent a "?" belatedly, and then a video call popped up.

On the other side of the camera, under the dim light orange light, Wu Ze, who was staying up late and working overtime, was leaning against him. Compared with Liang Zhao, who was still sitting upright in the middle of the night, his speech and appearance were a little more lazy.

"Why is it you? I thought some student was handing in homework on a deadline."

Liang Zhao responded coldly: "It's just what you think, if I don't post it, he won't even be able to meet the deadline."

"Who has such a big face?" Wu Ze heard this curiously, and clicked on the homework document to check the student number and name below.

The person on the other side of the screen doesn't like being teased. Wu Ze is aware of this temper, but he couldn't help but ask with a smile: "Last time Gu Jiayou, this time Ling Xuan, a peach blossom talisman won't really turn you around, will it?"

"It's just two students." Liang Zhao raised his eyelids slightly, but there was no wave in his eyes, "I don't know one of them yet."

Wu Ze corrected him unhurriedly: "Both of them are not ordinary students."

"Gu Jiayou is Xiaokai, a well-known wealthy businessman in City A. He grew up with the only golden spoon in his mouth for three generations. He is a typical outstanding person of the "Thousands of Flowers" category. Within a few months, he had millions of consumption records in his past life. "

"As for Ling Xuan, a sophomore who obtained the postgraduate qualification, led his personal team to win prizes in various high-tech competitions, and was the winner of the annual special scholarship. I have read his undergraduate thesis, and his thinking is clear and unique. .Not only did the capital data come in handy, but his mind was as active as a Wall Street financial operator who pursues top-notch perfectionism."

Wu Ze browsed the text while talking, scrolled the mouse with one finger, gave Ling Xuan a red A+ on the grade, and then sent it back from the chat interface.

"Even the homework he got out of rush work is very different from other students."

Compared to his neighbor's sudden cuteness in the past two days, Liang Zhao is not surprised by his excellence and intelligence, "In just two days, you have figured out all the people under your control."

Wu Ze's laughter came from the earphones: "Don't you think it's interesting for these two people to get together?"

"En." Liang Zhao nodded emotionally, "So what does Teacher Wu mean, that he is simply showing off his new student to me?"

"I don't think I can teach them anything." Wu Ze raised his hands above his head and stretched his muscles lazily, "Oh... I have to teach and educate people tomorrow. If it's okay, I'll go to bed."

Liang Zhao hung up the call and glanced at the excellent grades in red on the screen.Sitting in this position, that guy got the highest score in the group for the homework written by Moyu.

As expected of He Lao's favorite student.

Monday comes as usual.

Liang Zhao dressed up and went out to work. When he walked to the gate of the community, he heard the faint sound of pulleys again.Perhaps it was the lesson of the hand injury that made him raise his awareness of safety precautions, and subconsciously slowed down to avoid it.

A few seconds later, a familiar figure stopped in front of him.

Ling Xuan was wearing a gray-blue sportswear, with a headset hanging around his neck, and the breathing light flickering on the side of his neck reflected his collarbone in a light ice blue.

"Woke up very early." Liang Zhao looked down at the soy milk and soup dumplings in his hands, which seemed to be freshly made and still steaming.

"I don't have the habit of staying in bed." Ling Xuan stepped on a skateboard and jumped in another direction, looking at the busy traffic on the main street, and then asked: "Going to work, it's not easy to take a taxi outside this park, so I'll drop you off? "

Following Ling Xuan's line of sight, Liang Zhao saw a white Cayenne parked by the side of the road, which was exactly the same as his own.

Ling Xuan didn't give anyone a chance to refuse, he loaded the skateboard into the car, and helped open the passenger door, and gave Liang Zhao the breakfast in his hand.

"Here, thank you for the quiche yesterday. We'll be late if we drag on."

Even with a light tobacco-based perfume in the car, you can still vaguely smell the unique leather smell of a new car, Liang Zhao frowned suspiciously.

Ling Xuan, who was already in the driver's seat, smiled and explained, "Ah... I borrowed it from a friend."

Liang Zhao remembered what Wu Ze lamented last night: a certain two students were able to get together, pulled the seat belt buckle sideways, and said casually: "The relationship is very good, borrowing a car and renting a house."

Ling Xuan started the car, raised the corners of his lips and hummed: "Ordinary friends."

At seven o'clock, the morning peak loomed on the road.Liang Zhao quietly leaned back on the chair, opened the lid of the soybean milk cup and took a sip.

The person sitting in the driver's seat seemed to smile very lightly, and drove the car more steadily.He didn't make a sound until Liang Zhao finished drinking.

"I saved the opening topic of the thesis in your computer yesterday, but I failed to hand it in on time. I don't know if the new tutor has a bad temper. I think I will be deducted points."

Liang Zhao took out a tissue and wiped his hands, then asked indifferently, "My responsibility?"

"One percent. If you could remember your WeChat ID that day and leave it to me accurately, I could contact you online yesterday."

Liang Zhao gently shook the soya-bean milk cup in his hand to show the people around him, although he didn't make a sound, he conveyed his emotions.

That blemish didn't hinder anything.You even know exactly when I leave the house, which route I go to work, and which one I like to buy early, don't you?

Ling Xuan received a not-so-sharp warning, smiled silently, and then heard an unexpected sentence.

"Don't try to blackmail me, the homework has already been handed over to Wu Ze for you. The new tutor is a thug in a suit, so don't challenge his bottom line."

"Do you know our mentor?" Ling Xuan recalled that the two met by chance at University A. With Mr. He's attitude at that time, the two must have a good friendship, and it is also possible that the senior brother also knew the new mentor.

Liang Zhao borrowed a vocabulary he just heard with great interest: "Well, ordinary friends."

"I heard that Teacher Wu studied abroad for several years before, so you should have known each other for a long time."

"Less than 30 years."

"..." Ling Xuan paused, and the car stopped outside the institute.

Scientific researchers can still talk like this. Neither of you is 30 years old at all, so just say that you are a child and you are done?

In the delicate atmosphere, Liang Zhao had already taken off his seat belt and opened the car door, thanking the neighbor who sent him to work in a deep voice.

"Good job."

This appellation, which he heard countless times every day, was called out by the same familiar voice, but Liang Zhao frowned slightly, "En?"

"What time do you get off work at night?"

Ling Xuan shook his mobile phone and explained: "The owner group of the community said that the circuit is not stable recently. I can't find the mechanical key. I am afraid that there will be a power outage and I will not be able to enter the door. It is just on the way from the school. If the time is about the same, I can come Waiting for you to go back together?"

"I know I tried to extort one percent of your money just now, okay?"

Obviously Liangzhao himself was the one who needed a ride with inconvenient hands, but Ling Xuan's tone was a bit coquettish and begging.

"04:30."

The master's honor student who heard the response waved his hand in satisfaction.

For many days, Lianggong either ran into Ling Xuan before going to work, or dropped in with him after get off work, and the two always got together.

Liang Zhao is not a person who believes in fate, there must be some reason behind the coincidence.In addition to seeing through and not telling the truth, it is more because Ling Xuan is too sensible.

He broke into an originally regular life, but he didn't disturb the slightest bit.In an adult way, it expounds the stubbornness of a child, has a sense of existence, and just stays within Liangzhao's acceptance range.

The autumn rain at the end of September was cold and crackling all afternoon.

An experiment was beyond the off-duty time. Liang Zhao checked the data, opened the blackout curtain, and saw a familiar white SUV parked outside the security line of the research institute through the glass window.

Under the cover of fine raindrops, Ling Xuan, who was wearing a thin shirt, was lying patiently by the car window, playing with the water vapor on it.

Liang Zhao promised him to go back together after get off work tonight.Although the two have added WeChat, in the past few 10 minutes, the chat box was so quiet that there was no sense of existence.

Liang Zhao was the first to click on the contact, and sent a voice message: "It may take a while, I told the guard, come in."

The person in the car looked at the mobile phone, suddenly looked up, and met Liang Zhao who was standing at the upstairs window, then opened the door, and walked down with an umbrella.

After the experiment, Liang Zhao handed the data book to colleagues in the group, and said, "I'll go out to get some air, and when the final results come out, come find me in the lounge."

"Okay, Lianggong." The researcher beside him responded, and then lowered his head to manipulate the optical equipment.

Liang Zhao took off his white coat, walked out of the laboratory and went straight to the rest hall, and the people waiting inside were still calm.

"Sorry, I'm a little late today."

Ling Xuan sat on the sofa, raised his wrist and looked at his watch, "No, I came early, and it can be seen that you are all very busy recently."

"Well, a new anti-inflammatory drug suitable for children has just been developed, and now is a critical period for data recording."

As soon as the words were finished, a researcher in a white coat knocked on the door holding a stack of documents, "Leader, please check and sign."

"it is good."

Liang Zhao took the data book, checked it carefully for a while, and signed his name after confirming that it was correct.From the corner of the eye, he caught sight of Ling Xuan who was looking him up and down by the sofa, and lip-synced and asked: What's wrong?

"The serious Lianggong is so handsome." Ling Xuanyi smiled softly in his original position.

The intern who hadn't left yet heard the sound and looked over, gossiping: "Who is this? It seems that he often sees his car outside the institute recently."

"My neighbor." Liang Zhao handed back the data booklet and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Let's get ready to get off work."

"Goodbye, the team leader." The researcher didn't ask any more questions, and waved goodbye with a smile.

After tidying up their personal belongings, Liang Zhao and Ling Xuan walked out with umbrellas side by side.

The rain was still falling heavily, and there was a pattering sound when it hit the umbrella surface. Amidst the fine noise, Ling Xuan, who was walking obliquely behind, suddenly spoke.

"I'm a neighbor?"

"do not you?"

Ling Xuan tilted his head, looked at Liang Zhao's beautiful side face, and said with a smile: "Then... If the neighbor is interested in you, is there any chance to have another identity?"

Liang Zhao stopped in front of the car, put away the umbrella ribs, but did not put his hands on the doorknob for a long time. After a few seconds, his tone was as usual: "Ling Xuan, you are not much older than my brother."

In my eyes, you are still a child.

This was the second time he was declined, Ling Xuan was still calm and composed, leaning his umbrella handle towards Liang Zhao, obliquely covering half of his body, preventing the raindrops from continuing to fall on his clean black hair.

"So it's me who can't do it, not gender?" Then the young man helped open the car door, smiled brightly and said, "There is a chance."

The person concerned only raised his eyes and glanced at the bland young master of key points, pursed his lips and did not respond.Ling Xuan sat in the driver's seat, looked at the rhythmically swinging windshield wipers, and naturally continued.

"Rainy days are suitable for eating copper hot pot, let's eat outside tonight, please invite me."

Liang Zhao looked sideways, with an intriguing expression.

Ling Xuan drove the car to the main road, and while setting up the restaurant navigation, he casually responded to the indifference of the people beside him: "Liang Gong won't let me pay the bill, right? I'm only as old as your brother."
