I just want to be a vegetable

On a July day, the noon sun was like a ball of fire, scorching the people who were running around outside, but a person who was buried in front of the computer indoors, blowing on the air conditioner felt as if he was restless.

This person is Cheng Zhiyuan. He stopped his work and took out his mobile phone to edit the information.

"Remember to drink water" was deleted.

"Drink more water, wipe off your sweat before going into an air-conditioned place, and..."

Before finishing editing, a message popped up at the top of the screen.

"Try to be calm when driving." Cheng Zhiyuan finished editing the message, clicked send, and then opened the message that just came in. It was an unfamiliar number.

"I know your secret."

Cheng Zhiyuan read it again and deleted it.What kind of new scam is this?

Cheng Zhiyuan went to the tea room to pour a glass of water, and when he returned to his seat, he just received a WeChat voice message from Yearning.

"Ahhh...I'm so hot! We talked in the coffee shop next to the client's company. The air conditioner in the coffee shop is not working! The client is still a rambunctious ghost, do you think I will talk about heat stroke?"

Cheng Zhiyuan pressed the recording button, lowered his voice and laughed, "Does your client know that he is a long-winded ghost?"

"I can only say that he enjoyed the pleasure of speaking. I won't talk to you anymore, he came out of the bathroom."

Cheng Zhiyuan sent him a watermelon with a kiss emoji, then put down his phone and continued working.

In the afternoon, Xiang Xiang came back, and it was still early before the end of get off work time. He went to Cheng Zhiyuan and handed over the case he got to him.

Longing for nothing to happen next, he saw that Cheng Zhiyuan was making renderings, and he still had a few budget sheets on hand, so he wanted to do something for him, anyway, these were all picked up by him, and he was familiar with them.

Cheng Zhiyuan pressed him on the seat: "Don't worry, take a break, I'll finish it in a while, these few are not in a hurry."

"Okay, then I'll play a game with you, our place is empty, everyone is still outside, and it's boring to be alone."

Xiang Xiang said, picked up Cheng Zhiyuan's mobile phone from the table, and unlocked the fingerprint lock, "The game on your mobile phone is at a higher level than mine, so it's more fun."

Cheng Zhiyuan followed him and continued with the work at hand.

The crackling sound of the keyboard and the rattling sound of the phone's keys are harmoniously blended together in a small space.

"Ah, who sent the text message, it caused my game to die! You are the same—" Xiang Xiang's originally loud voice stopped.

"Huh?" Cheng Zhiyuan didn't hear the following, and turned his head to see Xiang Xiang staring at the phone screen in a daze.

He leaned over and saw a line above: "You are gay, right? So is the man you are with." Cheng Zhiyuan looked at the sender's number, and it was still an unfamiliar number.

Yearning looked around, lowered his voice and said, "Isn't it a joke made by an acquaintance?"

"You know everyone I know, who would be so bored to make such a joke?"

Cheng Zhiyuan also lowered his voice, "Besides, Feng Zhe is the one who knows us... and I don't communicate with him very often."

Both of them pondered, and after a while, Cheng Zhiyuan patted Yearning's head: "Okay, don't think about it, it's probably just a harassing text message, just set up an interception for me and add it to the blacklist. Just continue playing your game. , I'm not done yet!"

Longing to think about it, so it didn't make sense, and continued to play the game.

When I got home at night, I longed to put down my things and go to the bathroom to take a shower. After running around all day, I was sweating and sticky.Cheng Zhiyuan washed his hands, opened the refrigerator, and thought about what to cook later.

After get off work, Cheng Zhiyuan used to set the phone to vibrate, when the phone placed on the coffee table shocked him greatly, he hurried over to pick it up to connect.

A voice that sounded familiar came from the opposite side immediately: "Cheng Zhiyuan, right? Why didn't you reply to today's text message?"

Cheng Zhiyuan moved the phone away, looked at the number, and then remembered the two "harassing" text messages today, he said coldly: "Who are you?"

"It's true that noble people forget things so much. My mother forgot all about it within a few days of her burial!"

Cheng Zhiyuan calmed down for a moment, then said: "Zhao Zuen?"

"I finally remembered!"

Cheng Zhiyuan said impatiently: "That matter is over, what else do you want to do!"

Zhao Zuen teased: "Is it? You were blinded by it. I only discovered the truth now. You guys are really good at it! Believe it or not, I will announce your homosexuality and see what you do!"

"It's none of my business what you want to do, please don't disturb my life, or you will bear the consequences."

Zhao Zuen was still talking on the other end of the phone, but Cheng Zhiyuan hung up directly and put this number into the blacklist.

Yearning to come out of the shower and see Cheng Zhiyuan cooking in the kitchen, he turned on the TV while wiping his hair.

Cheng Zhiyuan didn't talk to Xiangxiang about it all night, he can see that people like Zhao Zuen are like dog skin plaster, once it sticks, it's hard to get rid of.

He would rather tear off the plaster alone than yearn to be involved in such a mess.

The whole day of the next day was normal, no more annoying text messages or phone calls.

Cheng Zhiyuan guessed that Zhao Zuen came to harass him because he asked Zhao Zude for his number, but luckily they didn't have his phone number.

This morning Yearning went out to run clients again, Cheng Zhiyuan was rushing for a drawing, the designer assistant knocked on the door and came in: "Cheng Gong, there is Mr. Zhao looking for it outside."

"Mr. Zhao?" Cheng Zhiyuan frowned, "Understood, don't ask him to come in, I'll go out later."

Sure enough, Zhao Zuen found him. He took a deep breath, took his mobile phone and walked out.

Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Zhao Zuen stretched his neck and looked around, and when he saw Cheng Zhiyuan came out, he straightened his posture: "Mr. Cheng has a nice place to work, really high-end!"

Cheng Zhiyuan ignored his words, walked straight to the door, and turned his head to signal him: "Let's go out and talk."

Zhao Zuen was overwhelmed by Cheng Zhiyuan's aura, and followed him out without thinking much.

Cheng Zhiyuan found a coffee shop near the company that his colleagues seldom go to, sat down and said straight to the point: "Tell me, what do you want?"

"Now you know how to be afraid? If you admit it earlier, you don't have to worry about it."

Cheng Zhiyuan said coldly: "What do I need to admit?"

"Don't think I don't know you're gay, and so is the guy with you. You two cuddled in front of my mother, and it pissed my mother off."

"Mr. Zhao, you have to be responsible for what you say, don't just talk about it."

"Hehe, you should be responsible. My mother believes in XX, you know? She is a member of XX. XX taught you. As far as I know, it is opposite to your homosexuality. In their eyes, you are equal to Sinner. Do you think my mother can't be angry when she sees you two like that? She has a heart attack, so why don't you just get mad at you!"

After Cheng Zhiyuan heard him finished speaking, he was quiet for a while before saying: "It's over? According to what you said, what do you want to come to me?"

"Why? Lose money! My mother is mad at you, so I can't just let it go, I have to lose money, compensation for damage!"

Cheng Zhiyuan laughed, Zhao Zuen was surprised that he could still laugh, wondering if he said something wrong.

"Mr. Zhao, first of all, how do you prove that I am gay as you said? Even if I am gay as you said, how can you prove that my behavior scared your mother to death?

Secondly, the police station has made a decision on the incident of helping your mother, and it is determined that we did not do any harm, and there is no possibility of any compensation for damages; finally, if you insist on your own opinion, it is best to go to the police station. This constitutes harassment. "

Zhao Zu'en was stunned. Seeing that Cheng Zhiyuan was about to get up and leave after a long time, he hurriedly stopped and said loudly: "Don't be too arrogant, it's okay if you don't admit it, I will announce your homosexuality to your company, and see how you still work!"

"Whatever you want." Cheng Zhiyuan pressed the recording save button on the phone on his lap with his finger, got up and walked straight to the door.

Cheng Zhiyuan returned to the office and was busy for a while before it was lunch time.Longing to be unable to come back at noon, Cheng Zhiyuan had no choice but to eat in the company cafeteria by himself, ordered a cup of coffee after eating, and strolled in the green area downstairs of the company to digest food.

He sat down on the bench by the side of the road, stretched his waist, leaned against the back of the chair and raised his head and squinted. The sunlight leaking from the cracks in the leaves above his head was very dazzling.He took out his cell phone and made a call.

"Eh... I read that right, the caller isn't Yearning but Cheng Zhiyuan?" Feng Zhe said in surprise on the other end of the phone.

Cheng Zhiyuan clicked his tongue: "You read that right. Why don't I call you occasionally?"

"It's okay, but it's too unreasonable. Yearning for this kid means that you have 1 confidences in me. Why, are you worried now?" Feng Zhe teased.

"What worries you, what can you two do? I have some questions for you."

"I just said, you can't call me if you have nothing to do. Tell me, did you two quarrel?"

"No, seriously. What do you do if you're threatened with intimidation?"

"Threat? It depends on the purpose of the threat. If it is to ask for property, it may be suspected of extortion.

It also depends on the degree of the threat. If it is just a verbal warning without further intention or action, it will be more difficult to pursue responsibility. "

Cheng Zhiyuan listened carefully, and before replying to him, he heard Feng Zhe continue: "For this kind of thing, it is best for the victim to collect all the evidence, verbal threats can be recorded as much as possible, paper threats are kept well, and social tools Remember to back up those on WeChat and Weibo, for example.”

"Well, what else can you do besides these?"

"Actually, the best way is to call the police directly. For a person who would do such things as threats, the more you delay him, the more he will think you are afraid, and he will not stop until he achieves his goal. Your friend?"

Cheng Zhiyuan made a false reply, and then asked: "What if the person concerned doesn't want to call the police?"

"Why don't you want to call the police?"

Cheng Zhiyuan was silent for a moment: "Because I have something to hide, I don't want my life to be disturbed."

Feng Zhe didn't ask too much, after all, everyone has private things that they don't want to share with others, but he finally reminded: "Sometimes, if you want to calm things down, others may not always do what you want, and may even turn you upside down. "

Cheng Zhiyuan hummed, and said to Feng Zhe: "What I told you today, don't tell Xiangxiang. I don't want him to worry about such things."

"understood."

Cheng Zhiyuan thought for a while and said: "I see, I may still ask you for advice from time to time."

"Don't you know that my consulting fee is very expensive? Why don't you give me your family's longing for human flesh!"

"As long as he wants, I'm fine."
