never met lover

The blue fine sand is falling down non-stop, in a narrow bundle, after falling, it piles up into a triangular mountain bag.In the next second, the world fell, and a new round of timing began.Lu Yining pushed open the door, the hourglass on the desk had just fallen half of the sand, Qin Yu didn't sit at the desk, but stood in front of the window, not knowing what he was doing.

"How's it going?" Lu Yining put the cut fruit plate on the table, and fed a peeled water chestnut to his mouth.

"Akoi...the manuscript...is too long." Qin Yu complained.

Lu Yining chuckled when he heard the words, he had also read that manuscript, and it looked like three to four hundred words, which was much less than ordinary speech manuscripts, but Qin Yu resisted in his heart and didn't want to do this, so he looked for it here. An excuse, but he can't be blamed for that.Although he is used to Qin Yu talking to him, every time he goes to Distance, he can still see that Qin Yu is either using sign language or using a voice assistant.

Outside, Qin Yu still rarely spoke.

"Can't Bai Zhi come back in time?"

Qin Yu let out a "hmm", handed him the phone, and said indifferently, "I...have neglected my duties...and still...are so...reasonable."

Lu Yining took a look, and laughed uncontrollably.

Maybe the day of the annual meeting was approaching day by day, Qin Yu sent messages to Bai Zhi one after another, asking when she would come back.

Bai Zhi didn't know whether he was busy or too lazy to talk to him, so he just replied, "My mother and wife are about to run away, so I asked you to give a speech and be squeamish! Or is it A?"

Qin Yu stepped forward and gently covered Lu Yining's mouth, "Don't laugh."

Obviously he was also amused, Lu Yining blinked, and put the phone aside.At the end of the month, it’s time for major companies to hold annual meetings, and Distance is no exception. Conventionally, there are speeches at the annual meeting. In previous years, Bai Zhi took care of this work, and Qin Yu would go around every time. Just go home, but not this year.Knowing that the day Shisan left, no one knew how long Bai Zhi stayed in the teahouse and what she was thinking, but Qin Yu received a text message from her the next morning, saying that she was going to find Shisan, it was about the company Let him watch more.

Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and the shops in the streets and alleys have moved out the Christmas trees, but Bai Zhi has no intention of coming back to work.This year's annual meeting speech, Qin Yu may be trying to catch the ducks on the shelves. Originally, Qin Yu planned to let the company's new intelligent voice assistant bring Bai Zhi's projection to give a speech.

But... Lu Yining still wants to see Qin Yu able to speak outside.

Leaning on the desk, Lu Yining picked up the speech script on the desk, and there were annotations on it, most of which were hyphenated words and pronunciation. He handed the manuscript paper to Qin Yu, and said in a discussing tone, "Read it to me." ? You can just finish reading, we don’t count the time.” He put down the hourglass beside him, looked at Qin Yu expectantly, and said, “Besides, when the time comes, the annual meeting will be full of people from your company, no problem.”

Qin Yu looked down at the speech. After so many days, he was familiar with what was written on this piece of paper, but he still couldn't read it out smoothly. As he read it, he couldn't pronounce the next sound. , The brain is working, but the mouth is not listening. Sometimes the heart is upset, and it is even more difficult to read. I can only watch the fine sand in the hourglass flow away with time without stopping.

Lu Yining waited quietly, waiting for Qin Yu to speak. In fact, if Qin Yu didn't want to speak on stage on the day of the annual meeting, he would not force him. Qin Yu may only speak to people he knows well all his life, trapped in the cage of sign language and voice assistants.

Qin Yu read the speech little by little, sometimes there would be a long pause, and Lu Yining would say softly, "It's okay, don't worry, let's take our time."

After Qin Yu finished reading it all, Lu Yining got down from the desk, walked up to him and gave him a kiss, and said with a smile, "This is the end of reading."

"It's...too long." Qin Yu put the manuscript aside and said with a light smile, "If your...boss...takes so long...time...to talk...would you be...annoyed."

"But you are the boss." Lu Yining helped him turn up his collar, "Although your company has flat management, but you are the boss, even if someone criticizes you, it's no big deal, and he can't influence you." As he spoke, he got up and walked towards the door, and let in Qin Xiaozuo, who had been scratching the door for 3 minutes outside. As soon as Qin Xiaozuo entered the room, he held his head high, his tail raised high, and walked in the room with arrogance. Walk around.

After walking around, Qin Xiaozuo squatted at Qin Yu's feet and yelled "meow meow" at him.

Qin Yu picked him up, "You... so what?"

Qin Xiaozuo looked at him with wide round eyes, waving his paws to walk on his shoulders, Qin Yu looked at him with a funny face, "Young man...you've grown up...you know?"

"Meow."

Lu Yining walked over and patted Qin Xiaozuo's head twice, "Didn't they say before that if they were nervous about giving a speech, they would treat the people below as carrots and cabbage? You can treat all the people below as Qin Xiaozuo."

"Qin Xiaozuo...wouldn't...roll his eyes at me..." Qin Yu smiled, then put Qin Xiaozuo on the ground, he raised his hand to touch the barrier sticker on the side of Lu Yining's neck, "The color fades... Is it...replacing a...gland...acid?"

"It's okay." Lu Yining said as he tore off the barrier sticker, revealing the glands with tooth marks. The color of the original dark green barrier sticker had changed to light green. He took out a new one from his pocket, After taking it apart, use the sterilized gauze inside to wipe the gland lightly, then turn around and face the gland to Qin Yu, "Bite lightly."

When Qin Yu bit his canine teeth into the gland, Lu Yining clenched his fist unconsciously, and Alpha's pheromone entered his body, making him tremble uncontrollably. Qin Yu hugged him tightly, silently comforting him. The Omega who ran and couldn't escape.

After licking the tooth marks, Qin Yu took out the barrier sticker from Lu Yining's hand and stuck it on for him, "Okay."

Lu Yining leaned against him, looked up at him, and joked, "Honey, you can't remember wearing a condom, I can't remember taking medicine, why don't you find a time to take you to have a vasectomy."

Unexpectedly, Qin Yu replied solemnly, "Yes."

"Really?" Lu Yining straightened up and stared at him, "I was joking."

"Yeah." Qin Yu said, "In the future...you don't want to...you can...do it." He pulled Lu Yining to sit on the sofa to rest, and as soon as he sat down, Qin Xiaozuo jumped onto his lap On, after turning around in a circle, he nestled down comfortably, his tail swept Lu Yining's wrist, he leaned on Qin Yu's shoulder, and whispered, "Tangyuan, I'm a little scared... After you say it, I will Will it be like my dad?"

"Huh?" Qin Yu looked down at him. In fact, he knew that Lu Yining would wake up from time to time during the night. After he woke up, he was quieter than when he fell asleep. He would not roll around or be wrapped in a quilt. Just run, just lie there quietly, eyes open but if he asks, Lu Yining will close his eyes and say, "Go to sleep right away."

He held Lu Yining's hand, and his thumb slid over the callus on the side of his finger, "No... I will... always... be with you." Qin Yu looked at him and said seriously, " I promise."

"I'd better take you to have a ligation." Lu Yining bent his eyes, leaned close to Qin Yu's ear, and said viciously, "You won't even be able to run away like this." After finishing speaking, he looked at Qin Yu still the same as before, a little Disappointed, "Why aren't you afraid?"

"I'm so scared." Qin Yu fooled around solemnly, and even picked up Qin Xiaozuo as a shield.

Qin Xiaozuo and Lu Yining, who were lifted up, stared wide-eyed, then stretched out their tongues and licked Lu Yining's mouth. The cat's tongue had barbs and licked it itchyly.

Lu Yining stood up suddenly, and said while running, "Qin Xiaozuo, although I love you! But you can't lick me!!! Aunt Zeng, help me put the bath water!"

Qin Yu tapped Qin Xiaozuo twice, "Your father despises you for being dirty."

Qin Xiaozuo struggled to get down, jumped to the top of the bookcase in a few steps, and got into a ball, only showing his buttocks facing him.

Qin Yu chuckled, got up and walked to the desk, picked up the speech, there was no green leaves to cover the window, only the endless sea and sky remained in his field of vision, the sky was lonely, the sea was vast, he turned the paper in his hand Ring, think the year is almost over.

Time keeps moving forward, what should come will always come.Although Bai Zhi is back, whoever told me that Qin Yu is going to give a speech at this year's annual meeting, he simply became the shopkeeper and ignored it completely.The annual meeting was set at the West Bund Hotel, and Lu Yining took Qin Yu to a rehearsal the day before. The empty party scene was only occupied by him, and the spotlight was on Qin Yu, listening to the formulaic speech. He was thinking a lot of things he shouldn't be thinking, at least not there.

"Mom...we're going out."

Qin Wenming paused the TV, turned his head to look over, Qin Yu and Lu Yining were both wearing black suits, but the tie and shirt were of different colors, Qin Yu was wearing a white shirt and a simple black tie, Lu Yining wore a black shirt with a silver-gray tie embroidered with Blur's classic presbyopia.

Lu Yining helped Qin Yu put on the bite stopper. It was a half-wrapped silver-gray bite stopper. It was made of diamond-shaped metal sheets, and the inside was made of soft leather. It would look like a chain when it was taken off. It's soft, but when opened, the whole shape is full of edges and corners, with almost no curvature. "Is it uncomfortable?" Lu Yining asked. He asked someone to make it. Although the size should be suitable, after all, Qin Yu has never worn it before. You might feel uncomfortable.

Qin Yu opened his mouth, turned his neck left and right, "It's not uncomfortable."

Qin Wenming touched Qin Xiaozuo in his arms repeatedly, and said with a smile, "It's fun."

When he walked into the hotel gate, Lu Yining was still a little excited, he asked in a low voice, "What do you usually do at the annual meeting?"

"It's nothing." Qin Yu thought for a while and said, "Everyone... eat... play games... I will read... planning proposals... usually that's all... but... every time I... leave early... …not quite sure what…they did…afterwards.”

After taking the elevator up, they didn't go directly to the party venue, but went to the next room to rest. Qin Yumei said that he didn't want to go by himself, and the company's people were too restrained. In fact, he didn't want to go to crowded places. It's okay to deal with the people in the technical department. After all, there are only so many people. It is estimated that he has never even been to other departments.

If you don't want to go, don't want to go, Akoi will come to call them when the speech is coming.

"nervous?"

"Huh?" Qin Yu turned around and looked at him, "It's okay."

Hearing the sound of laughter coming from outside the door, Lu Yining smiled lightly, "It seems that everyone is very happy."

"After the annual meeting... have a day off." Qin Yu said, "You should be happy."

"Only for one day?" Lu Yining looked at him as if looking at some ruthless exploiter.

"Do you still want to come to work?" Qin Yu teased him. In the past two days, Lu Yining encountered a bottleneck again. He said that he couldn't continue painting, and asked if he could go to work in their company.

Lu Yining shook his head, "Don't go, refuse 996, be healthy every day."

"It's not... a sweatshop..." Qin Yu said helplessly, "Before... the company... just started... a little tired... later... it will be better." When he said this, there was a certain expectation in his tone.

"Well, it will be fine."

The door was knocked, and Akoi's voice came from outside the door, "President Qin, the annual meeting is about to begin."

Lu Yining walked up to him, helped him adjust his tie, and said, "Let's go, President Qin."

Lu Yining was sitting in the corner, watching Qin Yu step by step onto the stage amidst applause, watching him adjust the microphone, and recite word by word in a calm voice amidst everyone's shocked voices. The first sentence came out, "Dear... Colleagues... Hello everyone... New Year... The end of the year is coming..."

The voices in the underground gradually became smaller, and Lu Yining saw that almost everyone was looking at Qin Yu seriously. He saw Qin Yu take off the speech script, intermittently but without stopping talking about the beginning of creating Distance, and talking about how Distance has passed. In the past five years, he said that he is very grateful to the 218 colleagues of Distance for their dedication and hard work. He said that the future of Distance will continue to fill the gaps in social platforms.

"The internet...brings...a lot of...unbelievable...what we're going to do is...let everyone...experience...the unbelievable...make what was...impossible...become...possible ... We ... still embrace ... the original intention."

"Everyone...he will be small...but...never...lonely."

"Anyone...can...find...someone."

Through the crowd and applause, Qin Yu looked at Lu Yining for a long time, with a smile on his face, "Thank you everyone."

When Qin Yu dragged her out of the annual meeting, Lu Yining reluctantly looked at the cupcakes on the table, thinking that it would be nice if it was packed in a small box.

"Aren't you going to continue playing?"

"I'm here...they...are not having fun." Qin Yu said, "Look at Bai Zhi... also left."

Lu Yining pouted, "Bai Zhi is here to accompany Shisan."

"Then I... am not...accompanying you?" Qin Yu pressed the elevator and looked at him with regret, "Want to go...to play?"

"I didn't really think about it either." Lu Yining said, "There are so many people, it feels very lively. Also, which store did you order your dim sum from?"

"I don't know... go back... ask for you."

Looking at the rising floors, Lu Yining asked doubtfully, "Where are we going?"

"I'll be there soon." Qin Yu covered Lu Yining's eyes as he spoke, "Ah Ning...follow...I will go."

"Are you going to sell me?" Lu Yining smiled lightly, "Now you're still selling one for one."

"Sell... to... myself." Qin Yu supported him with one hand, "Go forward... there are steps... go up... one more."

I can't see anything, I don't know where I'm going to go, but Lu Yining feels that every step I take is at ease, it seems that I'm outside, there is no smell of air freshener and perfume in the air, and the wind is blowing coldly. Coming over, he leaned back against Qin Yu even tighter. He tentatively touched the back and touched the bite stopper Qin Yu was wearing, "Are we there yet?"

"Yeah." Qin Yu hugged him from behind, and whispered in his ear, "Wait a little longer."

It didn't take long, when Lu Yining was drawing the outline of the character in his mind, the hand blocking his eyes moved away, he opened his eyes, and the fireworks in the distance were in full bloom, one after another, falling down like shooting stars.

Qin Yu went around in front of him, took his hand, and slowly put a ring on his finger, "A Ning, Happy New Year." He reached out to touch Lu Yining's face, and said with a smile, "Also, For the rest of my life."

Ten fingers intertwined, the rings collided with a crisp sound, Lu Yining hugged Qin Yu tightly, "Happy New Year, Mr. Qin."
