Dripping Grace

Chapter 22

Time wobbled and slipped away quietly, and another three years passed in a blink of an eye.

Xiaolin has achieved considerable development and gained a place in the industry.

This is inseparable from the wisdom of the company's decision makers and the talents of product developers.

At this time, the number of employees in the company has increased several times, and Chu Yan's subordinates have also focused on training a few backbones with quite good skills.

In the dark bedroom, there is a bright spring in the room. Amidst the deep panting, someone is working hard, and someone is struggling impatiently on the neck of the other party.

After some entanglement, they snuggled quietly, relatively speechless.

After a while, I heard Chu Yan say softly: "The notice has arrived for further study, and we will start at the end of this month."

"So fast? Are you really going?" Fang Yu's tone was full of resentment.

"Yeah, the opportunity is rare, why not go?"

It was the top professional training course in the industry, and it was located in country A on the other side of the ocean.Such an opportunity is indeed rare for Chu Yanchang's long-term development prospects.

Fang Yu hugged the person in his arms hard: "It's going to be eight months! What do I think you should do?"

Chu Yan smiled, and gently stroked his cheek: "You can steal..."

Fang Yu didn't think it was a joke, and his face was a little unhappy.

Over the years, Fang Yu has been rumored to have had affairs with women, but that was just caused by his romantic temperament. When it comes to physical contact, he has never had any.

I don't know if it's because Chu Yan has great confidence in Fang Yu, or...he doesn't care much. Regarding the problem of all kinds of women around Fang Yu, Chu Yan's attitude is very casual, without the nervousness and anxiety that a lover should have.

As for the residence, although Fang Yu often went to Chu Yan's apartment to harass, the two still maintained their respective residences.

"Always give each other some private space." Chu Yan said.

Fang Yu slipped his hand dishonestly into Chu Yan's pajama pants: "Why do you need a private space between us?"

Chu Yan struggled to kick Fang Yu aside, he didn't want to be raped again.

"I have almost handed over the company's affairs to Liu Shi. If I am not here, he can also be competent."

Fang Yu frowned, always felt that what Chu Yan said meant that he would not come back after leaving.

Fang Yu turned his head again and looked into Chu Yan's eyes hard, hoping to see something from inside.

Sometimes he felt that he knew Chu Yan very well, his joys and his worries.

But sometimes, some emotions that he seems to deliberately hide are elusive to him.

Just like, Chu Yan's feelings for him over the years.

Even though Chu Yan didn't resist too much after being together again, has he ever been moved, is it the same as Fang Yu's feelings for him?

Fang Yu could not confirm.

Before leaving, the two went back to Linqi together. Grandma Chu was getting old, and she was a little worried that Chu Yan would not come back after going away for eight months.

"If you're so worried, don't go! Now we can't get along!" Fang Yu muttered to the side.

Accompanying the car was Shu Luo, a girl from the company's finance department.She is Fang Yu's neighbor in the front and back yards. After graduating from university, she joined Xiaolin to work. When Fang Yu said that she was going back home, she happened to have something to do, so she hitched a ride.

"Brother Yu, Director Chu will leave at ease." Hearing Fang Yu's words, the little girl interjected.

Fang Yu turned to look at her with a look of disdain, "What do you know, little girl?"

However, he had to accept the fact that Chu Yan had to travel.

In the end, he sent Chu Yan to the airport and watched him enter the gate without looking back.

Although it is not that the two have never been separated before, it is true that they have not been separated for such a long time.The longest time was when Fang Yu went out to discuss business. The separation of more than a month made Fang Yu feel uncomfortable.

They talk on the phone every day and video every night, but Fang Yu still finds it difficult to understand lovesickness.I can't wait to fly over and hold him in my arms immediately.

But after all, I am an adult, I have to bear it no matter how much I think about it

***

After getting off work this day, Fang Yu pushed back the less important entertainment at hand and called Chu Yan in the office.Because of the time difference, it was very early in the morning over there, and Fang Yu always got stuck on calling Chu Yan before class.

"Wake up?"

"Ah."

"have you eaten?"

"not yet!"

"did you miss me?"

"Ah."

"What are you going to learn today?"

……

Although Fang Yu guides Chu Yan every time he talks, he knows Chu Yan's character and rarely takes the initiative to be enthusiastic, which doesn't mean he doesn't miss himself.

Chu Yan loves him and cares about him.Fang Yu always told himself that.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to tolerate his entanglement again and again.

He's just not good at expressing what's on his mind.He is introverted and restrained, and he will never reveal a lot of words and emotions.

They get along quite well and can always sense each other's joys and sorrows at the first time. This is not just a tacit understanding of getting along day and night. If you don't care about each other in your heart, how can you touch each other's heart?

Fang Yu babbled on the phone, talking about love and homely things, until Chu Yan was about to go out over there, and then reluctantly hung up the phone.

After tidying up the documents on the table, Fang Yu was ready to go home from get off work.

Suddenly someone knocked on the door.

"Please come in!"

A pair of white and plain hands pushed the door open and entered.

The owner of the hand has short hair, a neutral dress, no makeup on his face, and his complexion looks natural and fresh.

"This document needs your signature." The visitor handed over the folder in his hand.

"Just ask the secretary to deliver it." Fang Yu took it over and looked at it. It was not a very important document. He signed it neatly, and then looked up at the person: "Why haven't you got off work yet?"

"I need your help with something." The visitor stared at Fang Yu's face and said nervously.

Fang Yu chuckled at her: "Say."

"Accompany me to meet someone, pretend...my boyfriend."

"Who? Why?" Fang Yu looked at the other party and asked in doubt.

"He's a nuisance, he's been pestering me lately, you have to help me." The other party pouted and said displeasedly.

Fang Yu was even happier when he heard it, he stood up and stretched out his hand to flick the opponent's brains.

"What the hell is going on, little girl? Someone is chasing you? Is that a good thing? As you are now, it's not bad if someone chases you. Your mother always calls me and asks me to take care of you. Don't be a fake boy all day long.

Okay, I'll go with you and help you see how your character is.If it's almost the same, don't pick and choose! "

The little girl still had a gloomy look on her face, but when she heard that Fang Yu was willing to accompany her, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.

Shu Luo is four years younger than Fang Yu. She was very shy when she was a child, a typical Xiaojiabiyu type.He especially likes to play by Fang Yu's side.

The two live in the front and back yards, and they are neighbors. If they are closer, they are Fang Yu's parents and Shu Luo's parents, who are family friends.

Fang Yu is the only child in the family, so he treats her as a younger sister, and has been protecting her from being bullied by others.

Later, Fang Yu grew up and had more friends, plus there were many girlfriends around him, so there were fewer opportunities for Shu Luo to cling to him.

Later, Fang Yu and Chu Yan went to college together, and the two grew up separately, gradually becoming more distant.

Shu Luo graduated from a school of finance and economics last year. Although it is not difficult to find a decent job based on his family's conditions, the little girl said that she likes animation and online games, so she pestered Fang Yu to work in his company.

In any case, it's like having a sister's friendship, can Fang Yu not agree?

Therefore, Shu Luo has been in Huanyu for more than half a year now.

Not to mention, the little girl did a pretty good job, she didn't come here to eat and drink, she worked hard, she had solid professional knowledge, and her accounts were beautiful.

It was only after we chatted accidentally once that I realized that this little girl had quite good grades in school, and she was a top student.

This made Fang Yu look at him with admiration, and felt that his sister was also a talent.

On the other hand, he felt that Shu Luo was completely different from when she was a child.

In the past, she was clearly long-haired, slender, with all kinds of flowery skirts, and a ladylike little Niaoyiren. Since joining Fang Yu's company, her hair has become shorter, her clothes have become more masculine, and even the rouge that women must carry around at home The gouache is also gone, and she faces the sky every day.

When I was young, I used to say "Brother Yu" to him on the back, but now I call him "Brother Yu" like a brother.

However, in Fang Yu's opinion, this kind of Shuluo is quite pleasing to the eye except that it is different from when she was a child.

Having been with Chu Yan for a long time, he was somewhat resistant to those women who dressed themselves up every day and painted their faces so that they could not see their original appearance.

But Shuluo's family members were not happy, especially her mother, who probably tried to persuade her every day that it was not easy to do well, so she called Fang Yu and asked him to take care of Shuluo, making her look like a girl , or who will like it in the future?

Fang Yu naturally agreed happily, and said Shuluo several times in a decent manner.But Shu Luo still went her own way, Fang Yu didn't care, looked at Shu Luo meaningfully and smiled, thinking how did this girl become so interesting when she grew up?

Now when I hear that someone is pursuing Shu Luo crazily, I suddenly feel refreshed.Something to do, just to pass the emptiness when Chu Yan is not around.

So he cleaned up neatly and accompanied Shu Luo out of the company.

Shuluo dragged Fang Yu directly to a cafe when he went out, and it seemed that the person he was dating was here.

After entering the door, Fang Yu began to look around, until he reached a seat in a corner, Fang Yu did not find any suspicious single men.

Is it because the person hasn't arrived yet?Fang Yu thought so, before he could ask, Shu Luo had already pulled him to sit in the corner where a woman was sitting alone.

The woman was overjoyed when she saw Shu Luo, but then her face changed slightly when she saw Fang Yu dragged by her hand.

Fang Yu's heart pounded, but he heard Shu Luo begin to introduce to both parties: "Zhou Wei, this is my boyfriend, Fang Yu."

Then Fang Yu introduced: "This is Zhou Wei, a friend I met on the Internet."

Fang Yu glanced at Shu Luo, thinking what's going on?Could it be that the annoying ghost she just said has been haunting her recently is this woman in front of her?

Shu Luo ignored his tortured eyes, but just stared at Zhou Wei in front of her with a proud face.

Fang Yu turned his eyes to say hello, and sized him up along the way.

I saw that Zhou Wei was only in her twenties. Although there were traces of over-decoration in her winking attire, she looked like a more avant-garde girl, and she didn't show any homosexual characteristics.

Although Shu Luo said that she has been pestering her recently, Fang Yu saw that Zhou Wei's eyes were staring at Shu Luo, but Fang Yu didn't feel a hot feeling similar to love in his eyes.

"Are you really Shu Luo's boyfriend?" Zhou Wei asked Fang Yu with a bit of a vicious stare.

Fang Yu nodded casually: "Yes, what's the problem?"

Zhou Wei showed an angry look, but said nothing.

They were very awkward with each other when they sat down again, and after a short meeting, the woman named Zhou Wei resentfully took the first step.

Fang Yu took a sip of the coffee in his hand, and poked at Shuluo with his eyes: "Tell me, what's the matter?"

Shu Luo looked indifferent: "That's the situation. I was very happy chatting online, so I planned to meet, but I didn't expect her to be gay."

Fang Yu frowned, the word "gay" can actually be used on him.

But he never thought that a girl like Shu Luo would be associated with that word.

How should I put it, it feels really strange. I can accept Chu Yan who is the same sex, but I can't accept the deformed love of other people around me.

Fang Yu himself is a combination of contradictions.

"You don't have any ideas, do you?" Fang Yu still decided to play the side drum for Shu Luo.

"What can I think? Although I don't discriminate against homosexuals, I can't have feelings for homosexuals. Besides, I have to think about my parents! If I fall in love with a woman, my mother will go crazy, My dad has to go to the wall. They only have me as a daughter, and it’s not easy to raise me so big, I can’t do this.”

Fang Yu put down the coffee in his hand, squinted at Shu Luo, thinking that what she said was interesting.

Unexpectedly, Shu Luo didn't seem to feel his doubts and doubts at all, she calmly sipped the Mocha in the cup, frowned and smacked her lips after taking a sip, as if she couldn't bear the bitterness.

"Didn't you add sugar and milk?" Fang Yu asked.

Shu Luo nodded, "It's still very bitter, I don't like bitter things."

Fang Yu's heart moved, he thought of Chu Yan, the thing he dislikes the most is bitter things.

Even though the coffee is very fragrant, he is still not used to drinking it, but sometimes he needs to work overtime to do projects, so he has to drink some coffee to refresh himself. Every time he drinks it, he frowns slightly like drinking strong alcohol.

Thinking of it at this time, I felt nostalgia, and it was extremely unbearable, so my eyes stopped on Shu Luo's slightly wrinkled brows, and I couldn't turn my head for a long time.

When they came out of the cafe, it was already dark, and the two of them didn't eat, so they met to eat.

"Girl, what do you want to eat, brother please."

Shu Luo drooped her eyebrows and bowed her head, turning her eyes to think, Fang Yu was stunned again, Chu Yan also had this habit when thinking about things.

"Let's eat fish head hot pot. The last time the technical department had a dinner, I went with Director Chu to have a meal. The taste is very good."

Of course it's good, Fang Yu first discovered that hot pot restaurant, and then took Chu Yan there to eat.

"You and Chu Yan get along well!" Fang Yu complained while driving.

Chu Yan knew Shu Luo very early because he gave Fang Yu tutoring.

Now working in a company, the relationship between the two of them became familiar all of a sudden. Fang Yu saw the two of them mingling together several times, and they didn't know what to discuss.

At the beginning, when Shu Luo and Chu Yan showed signs of getting close, Fang Yu's heart was full of alarm bells, and he deliberately obstructed it.

Chu Yan, who knew the roundworm in Fang Yu's stomach, explained to him: "Don't worry, there is someone in Shu Luo's heart, not my type. We just chat better, just like brothers and sisters."

Chu Yan never lied, Fang Yu was finally relieved when he said that.

At this time, Shu Luo heard what Fang Yu said, and replied: "It's okay, I can talk to Director Chu, but he is too busy, and he is always pestered by you when he is resting. So I also talked to him We had dinner together a few times, and then he took me to play flying. By the way, it was the last time you were on a business trip."

"Flying Sky" is a game developed by their company, which is very popular.

Fang Yu thought for a while, and he did hear Chu Yan mention it when he was on the phone with Chu Yan last time on a business trip.

"Really? So how are you playing?"

"Me? I'm worse than Director Chu."

Fang Yu couldn't help but feel a little itchy when he thought of Chu Yan calmly manipulating the killing of game characters with the keyboard and mouse.

"That's right, don't forget that he is the main creator of game programming and design. It would be weird if you played him before."

Shu Luo nodded and admitted: "I can't beat him, but PKing you, I believe it's still a piece of cake."

Fang Yu laughed when he heard this, and felt that the little girl Shu Luo was very different from the soft and cute look back then. I don't know how she looks like?How did it grow crooked?

"Don't blow the shit out of your head. I think I brought Chu Yan into the door back then. Although I don't have his perverted game talent, it's still trivial to win you. Let's play a game someday when we're free. , I still don't believe that I can't beat you tomboy?"

"What day are you waiting for? Just today, you choose the place, let's practice, and I will let you see how powerful this heroine is."

Fang Yu saw Shu Luo's blood boiling, and thought that if Chu Yan was there, it would be lively.

Smiling slightly, he nodded cheerfully: "Okay, go to the company."

The company has a special game room for people to try out, and the equipment is the best.

After eating, the two went to the company with great energy, each chose a machine, picked two top numbers, and entered the PK mode.

To be honest, although he felt that Shu Luo was a bit heroic now, but the image of a lady in childhood was too deep in Fang Yu's heart, so he didn't take Shu Luo seriously.

Unexpectedly, Fang Yu was really surprised when he got started.

Looking sideways, I saw Shu Luo's eyes calmly staring at the computer screen, her left hand slightly bent, her five fingers spread out, and she played on the keyboard extremely quickly and skillfully.The hand holding the mouse in the right hand remained motionless, tapping occasionally.

In an instant, Fang Yu had the illusion again, feeling that the short-haired girl sitting over there was clearly Chu Yan from many years ago.

After that, Fang Yu and Shu Luo got along more and more.

Although the little girl used to pester Fang Yu for food and drink sometimes.

But because Fang Yu spends most of his private time with Chu Yan.There is almost no time for others.

Now that Chu Yan is not here, Fang Yu feels that he is suddenly free.

I was thinking about finding some programs to pass the empty time.

Such an interesting appearance of Shu Luo is undoubtedly the best way.

Therefore, the two of them were like when they were young, the little girl clinging to Fang Yu like a tomboy.

In the beginning, Fang Yu maintained an effective distance between the two of them.

It is impossible for him to have any development with Shu Luo, so he can't let the little girl have an illusion.

Although I heard Shu Luo boast that her love history is quite rich, not much worse than Fang Yu back then.

But if you observe Shu Luo carefully, you will find that she behaves very much like Chu Yan in some aspects, traditional and conservative, and she will never overstep the distance easily.

With her like this, Fang Yu lowered his vigilance.

Alas, eight months, thousands of styles, who to tell?

Therefore, it is also possible for the emptiness that Chu Yan is not around to be temporarily filled by the seemingly harmless but temporary Shu Luo.
