"2010..." Cheng Minghao was taken aback, "You knew Ye Fei seven years ago? No, why didn't I know?"

Seven years ago, they were still in college. Cheng Minghao and Yan Xiao were both classmates and roommates in the same major. They were together almost all the time. He didn't realize that Yan Xiao had special circumstances...

wrong!

Cheng Minghao's mind flashed: "When you came back from the summer vacation that year, you suddenly said you wanted to start a business, didn't you..." He looked at Yan Xiao, "Is it because of Ye Fei?"

Yan Xiao didn't speak, but his silence already explained everything.

"No wonder." Cheng Minghao sighed with emotion.

At that time, Yan Xiao was an absolute man of the year in their major. He led the team to participate in the International College Student Programming Competition for two consecutive years, and won the championship in both years. Their university has thus become the only Asian university that has won the global finals championship since the event was held.

I don't know how many internationally renowned technology companies offered him an olive branch, but after talking with the professor, Yan Xiao refused all of them. He is not sociable, and ordinary people are familiar with things that are difficult for him.

Compared with working hard in the workplace, his personality is more suitable for research.

The professor planned his future path for him early in the morning: after graduating from an undergraduate degree, he went to MIT for graduate and doctoral studies, and then returned to his alma mater to teach. Yan Xiao has always followed this path.

However, one day, he suddenly changed his mind. No matter what the professor says or what, you must start your own business.

The respected old professor was so angry that he blew his beard and stared at him. He would never offer him any help, so he kicked him out of the office.

At that time, both Cheng Minghao and the professor thought that Yan Xiao wouldn't last long. His character was so confident that he was almost arrogant, and it was impossible for him to stand up to outside difficulties and doubts.

But they miscalculated.

Yan Xiao has been shut out by investors because of his unworldliness, scolded insane, and blasted out the door, but he has never given up.

Over the years, the company has grown step by step until it is now the top in the industry. Cheng Minghao almost forgot the situation at the beginning of his business. He didn't expect so many things hidden in it.

Cheng Minghao looked at Yan Xiao with complex eyes: "Then our company is called Feixiao Technology..."

A glimmer of pride flashed across Yan Xiao's eyes, and Cheng Minghao disappeared before he could catch it.

"Me and Ye Fei's names are homophonic," Yan Xiao said, after a pause, he added, "It sounds very good."

There was silence in the corridor for a while, and Cheng Minghao was shocked for a long time, but he couldn't recover.

Yan Xiao ignored him and fiddled with the phone for a while, and the content of the conversation between the two just came through the receiver.

- "I'm not coming back tonight, let me tell you."

— "Playing at a friend's house."

Yan Xiao listened to it twice with satisfaction, then saved the recording and said to himself, "This function is very good, I'm going to buy the stock of their company."

If he hadn't heard it with his own ears, Cheng Minghao would never have believed that Yan Xiao would like people to such an extent. He always thought that the binary code was Yan Xiao's true love.

Cheng Minghao slowed down and asked again, "Does Ye Fei know about these things?"

"Why let him know?" Yan Xiao asked inexplicably, "I'm just satisfying my desire to be close to him."

Thinking of the content of the call he just heard, Cheng Minghao suddenly had a bad feeling: "Okay, this doesn't count, what about other things? Have you expressed your feelings to him?"

"He doesn't like people who are too proactive and unreserved." Yan Xiao repeated, in order to prove that he was right, he began to talk endlessly about how tragically the last person who took the initiative to confess to Ye Fei was rejected.

Cheng Minghao: "…"

He finally understood why there was something wrong between the two of them. No matter how much he did, the other party didn't know, it would be no use! Although Ye Fei doesn't like being too proactive, this is too much!

Cheng Minghao was very suspicious that Yan Xiao was lying when he said that he and Ye Fei had a good relationship. At least that was not what he saw in the modeling studio that day.

"You can take the initiative quietly," Cheng Minghao felt as if he had encountered the police officer of a lost-footed girl, with a heavy responsibility, "Not directly..."

"Excuse me, can I interrupt?" Yan Xiao said, and then corrected Cheng Minghao's mistake rigorously, "Silence and initiative are two contradictory concepts, and it is impossible to do it at the same time."

After being a friend for so many years, Cheng Minghao knew that he really didn't understand and didn't care, and continued: "I mean, you can deliberately make certain actions and let Ye Fei come to you first, then it doesn't count as your initiative. already."

Yan Xiao's eyes lit up, thinking it was a good idea, and asked, "For example?"

Cheng Minghao racked his brains for a while, and finally pulled out something useful from his pitiful love experience: "For example, you edit a circle of friends that only he can see, saying that you are lonely eating alone or something. Or do whatever he likes and share with him what he cares about every day, and he will definitely chat with you a few times, and the relationship will be deeper if you talk about it."

Cheng Minghao finally summed up earnestly: "Brother Xiao, if you don't do anything and say nothing, how can he know your intentions."

Yan Xiao was reluctant to admit that she was wrong, but Ye Fei did ask him for a divorce. He returned to the office, pondered for a while, and tentatively picked up the phone...

At that time, Ye Fei had just hung up her father's WeChat voice call.

Father Ye came to him because of Ye Yao's hot search on Weibo. During the period, he didn't need to mention the cold words, and he almost said that he was a cold-hearted beast.

Ye Fei was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, so she put her phone on the coffee table. Father Ye said a word, and he sent a picture of Ye Yao being beaten, sometimes mixed with a few emojis made by netizens, so angry that Father Ye almost died on the spot.

"What kind of father are you?" Gu Ruijia was the only child, and couldn't understand why there were such partial parents. "It makes you look like you're not biological."

"That's right," Zhou Zhensheng was furious, patted his chest and said, "Ye Fei, don't pay attention to him in the future, let him guard Ye Yao's trash. It happens that my mother really wants to know you. Come to my house and recognize my mother as my mother. godmother!"

Sun Qiong was careful, seeing that Ye Fei only smiled and didn't speak, she knew that he didn't want to talk about family affairs, so she deliberately changed the subject: "Tsk tsk tsk, Ye Fei's treatment is different from those of us who don't look good. Dogs are awesome."

"What happened to Yangou?" Zhou Zhensheng glared at him, "Who doesn't look at his face now!"

"Me," Sun Qiong took a sip of wine and deliberately raised the bar, "I'm looking at the soul."

Zhou Zhensheng gave a contemptuous "ha" and hit the nail on the head: "A person with an ugly appearance has no chance to show his soul."

Sun Qiong: "..." He admits defeat!

Ye Fei watched them bicker, feeling that the bad mood brought by Ye's father was a little better, but the interest was still not high at the beginning. He flipped through his phone casually, and was about to find a sand sculpture news to read, when he suddenly received a message.

[Yan Xiao: Share the link—heavy news: Don’t stay up all night, the man became bald overnight, because of this! 】

Ye Fei: "???"

Ye Fei laughed angrily, is Yan Xiao cursing him to be bald? !

Tolerable or unbearable!

He called directly: "What do you mean?"

Yan Xiao looked at the phone in disbelief, but did not expect Cheng Minghao's suggestion to be really useful! It's amazing, I just don't know why Ye Fei's tone seems a little wrong...

"It's not interesting," Yan Xiao said, "just to show you."

Ye Fei was even more angry: "Why am I looking at this? Do you think I will go bald?"

Yan Xiao immediately said, "No."

Cheng Minghao said that he wanted to pick and share what he cared about. In the past, Ye Fei cared about work, but now... Thinking of the situation in the modeling studio that day, Yan Xiao felt that Ye Fei was more concerned about her appearance, so she sent this to him.

However, his dry words were not convincing in the slightest. Ye Fei took the phone and went to the balcony, full of anger: "If you don't worry about it, I look good even if I'm bald!"

What day is today? His father doesn't care, even Yan Xiao, who hasn't contacted him once in 800 years, came to block him.

Ye Fei was upset and was about to continue mocking when she heard Yan Xiao's voice.

His tone was serious, as if every word came from the bottom of his heart: "Of course, you look good no matter what." After a while, he felt that it was not enough, and added, "The best look."

Ever since she was a child, Ye Fei has heard many people compliment him on his appearance, and she is almost immune. But for some reason, Yan Xiao's two simple sentences made him feel a little ashamed after a long absence.

The anger that was full of anger seemed to have been stabbed in a hole, and it was swept away in an instant.

Ye Fei hummed, "Don't think I'll forgive you if you flatter me."

"No," Yan Xiao denied, his voice a little nervous and a little overwhelmed, "Did I make you angry?"

Before Ye Fei could speak, there was a clattering sound of flipping the book in his ears, and then he heard Yan Xiao say again, "Can you tell me exactly where it is? I'll write it down, and I'll avoid it next time."

Ye Fei laughed uncontrollably, feeling that Yan Xiao was a little cute like this, he deliberately teased him: "Don't you have a good memory, why do you still use notes?"

"Ye Fei! Why don't you come back!" Gu Ruijia's loud voice came from the living room.

Yan Xiao didn't answer Ye Fei's question, but asked, "Are you at Gu Ruijia's house?"

Ye Fei said "yes".

Xu Shi just now Ye Fei's laughter gave Yan Xiao courage, he considered his words, and said slowly: "Oh, then we are not far away." He also pointedly said, "I just passed by when I returned from the company. Your place."

Probably because Xia Ye was too quiet and comfortable, even taking Ye Fei into a softhearted heart, he couldn't help but say, "It's all over, you're still in the company."

"Well," Yan Xiao said that there was a new project that needed to be evaluated, but he quickly changed his style, "but I'm already busy, now I can go back."

The two of them were speechless for a while. Occasionally, unknown birds flew by in the night sky, making chirping sounds, brisk and pleasant.

"Do you want to come and play?"

"Do you want to eat double skin milk?"

The two spoke at the same time.

Ye Fei didn't want to eat it at first, but now he thinks it's okay to eat a little, and he asked Yan Xiao, "What do I want to eat?"

"I'll bring it for you." Yan Xiao said immediately, he stood up, and walked out before he even had time to get his coat.

The gentle evening wind, carrying the fragrance of lilac flowers, drifted into the company building from the half-opened window. Yan Xiao's body was tense and his heartbeat was beating violently, like a believer waiting for the judgment of the gods.

Fortunately, Ye Fei didn't make him wait too long.

"Okay," Ye Fei said, adding, "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Yan Xiao pressed the elevator down button. For the first time in his life, he desperately wanted to increase the speed of the car to more than 100 yards.
