    Chapter 37

    It's coming to Ren Zhaoyuan's birthday, on March 12th, there are less than ten days left.

    But Tan Zheng still has no clue.

    Every day, don’t know how many ideas pop up and are dismissed one by one. Either don’t think it’s important or don’t think it’s new. Day by day, the day is approaching unknowingly.

    It's really too late to decide.

    The word "gift" swirled in Tan Zheng's mind whenever he had time, but he didn't expect that he hadn't figured out what gift to give to Ren Zhaoyuan, so he received a gift from Ren Zhaoyuan first.

    "For me?"

    "Well, open it and take a look."

    Tan Zheng first pulled Ren Zhaoyuan to sit on the sofa in the reception area of ​​the office, and turned the pure black diamond-patterned paper box around in his hands.

    Ren Zhaoyuan smiled: "Open it yourself."

    Inside the portable paper box is a gift box of the same texture. When you open the top cover, there is a layer of black dust-proof paper, and then open it again——

    Tan Zheng didn't move or speak for a few seconds, and it took a while for his eyes to blink slightly.

    It was the same box of chocolates that Ren Zhaoyuan gave him thirteen years ago.

    Exactly the same.

    The old box is still sitting in his cabinet, faded, with worn edges, but not a single bit of damage.

    Although this brand has always been around, the packaging has been updated countless times.

    The collection disappeared from supermarket shelves nine years ago.

    The manufacturer has discontinued it for many years, and Tan Zheng knows it all too well.

    "Why..." Tan Zheng hoarse, swallowed and spoke again, "How can you buy it?"

    Can't really buy it anymore.

    Ren Zhaoyuan searched the Internet to find the packaging map of the brand in that year, and asked Wen Gu to visit a collector who had collected various packaging for many years, went to his warehouse to find the corresponding packaging box according to the year and category, and paid the rental fee and deposit. Take it away and contact a known manufacturer.

    As soon as the machine is moved, the working hours are counted, and the cost of one is no less than a thousand. The manufacturer repeatedly asked to confirm, Ren Zhaoyuan still said, only one.

    He only gave one Tan Zheng.

    "I figured out a way to get it," Ren Zhaoyuan said. "I gave it to you alone, it's not the same as Tan Qing's."

    Tan Zheng chuckled lightly, then restrained himself again, and said "um", the end of his eyes looked a little red.

    Ren Zhaoyuan tilted his head to look at him: "Are you going to cry?"

    "No, how can you cry so much."

    "Oh," Ren Zhaoyuan nodded, "I thought I had to hug and coax again."

    Tan Zheng laughed out loud this time, turned sideways and hugged Ren Zhaoyuan firmly.

    "Thank you, I like it very much, I really like it very much."

    "nice! You love it."

    Tan Zheng buried his face on Ren Zhaoyuan's shoulder and rubbed his voice slightly, "Why are you so good?"

    Ren Zhaoyuan hugged him back, put his fingers together on his back and patted him lightly as a response.

    "Suddenly I feel that being bullied for a few years is nothing. If it wasn't me who was helped by you at that time, the chocolate would be given to someone else."

    Ren Zhaoyuan patted him a little harder: "Silly words."

    Tan Zheng was quiet for a while, thinking of the scene at that time, he couldn't help asking a question that he had thought about many times.

    "No matter who you meet, will you help him that much?"

    When confronted with bullying and blocking it, it can be regarded as an ordinary enthusiastic help, but after blocking it, facing a person who holds a knife in his hand and does not even know how to say thank you, he is not angry or afraid when he is cut, so he smiles calmly, like what Little things worth mentioning passed by, not only not blaming him, but also giving him chocolate.

    This is far beyond the "kindness" that Tan Zheng can imagine.

    If it wasn't for him, if the other party wasn't Ren Zhaoyuan, Tan Zheng would even feel that this person was overzealous and had a desire for dedication.

    But this person is Ren Zhaoyuan, and Tan Zheng thinks that Ren Zhaoyuan is too good, and he is too lucky to meet him.

    After all, they didn't know each other at the time, and he was no different from anyone else.

    So just after asking Tan Zheng, he gave the answer himself: "Well, I should meet everyone, I am lucky."

    "It's not just luck."

    Tan Zheng stood up and looked at him.

    Ren Zhaoyuan smiled: "I don't have so much patience and good temper with everyone."

    "Is it because of me?" Tan Zheng was surprised but couldn't believe it, "But we didn't know each other at that time."

    "I don't know," Ren Zhaoyuan recalled, "but I remember that when I first arrived in the morning, the manuscript in my hand was accidentally scattered, and one was blown away. You ran to pick it up for me."

    "Also, in the afternoon, you saw a puppy go through the fence and get scratched. You took the trouble to find a way to press the upturned wire back."

    "Although one or two little things can't explain a person's nature, I think it's not too bad if I'm willing to take the initiative to help a stranger, and I'll try my best to work hard because I'm afraid the puppy will get hurt again."

    "I had a good impression in my heart, so I saw you being pushed and pulled by a few people from a distance, and it seemed like I was in trouble, so I wanted to go there and have a look. But there are many alleys over there, and the road is hard to find, so it's too late."

    Tan Zheng immediately said, "It's not too late, just right."

    At that time, Tan Zheng didn't know when he would act. Ren Zhaoyuan appeared just right, and it was just right that even Tan Zheng couldn't control it.

    Ren Zhaoyuan responded and added what he didn't say just now: "Besides, you didn't run away after accidentally hurting me, and you were scared to cry. I was bullied and scared again, of course I have to find a way to coax me."

    Tan Zheng pinched the knuckles of his knuckles uncomfortably because of Ren Zhaoyuan's "coaxing". After a sound, he thought of Ren Zhaoyuan's words: "You actually remember, did I ever pick up something for you?"

    "Well, after thinking about it, I remembered it. You didn't say a word at the time, just dropped your head and threw it in front of me and ran away. It's normal if you don't remember."

    Tan Zheng thought for a while without saying a word, and suddenly raised his eyes with bright eyes: "I seem to remember, you were not wearing a school uniform at that time, and you were very eye-catching in school."

    Ren Zhaoyuan rubbed the back of his head: "It's amazing."

    "You..." Tan Zheng's ears turned slightly red, and he protested in a low voice, "It's like coaxing a child."

    Ren Zhaoyuan raised his hand and rubbed it again, smiled and said, "You really look like a child recently."

    The feeling of being pampered is so good that people are caught in it unconsciously, so they can't help showing weakness and begging for it again and again.

    Tan Zheng seriously reflected: "Is it too naive? Let me pay attention."

    "It's fine," Ren Zhaoyuan said, "it's fine."

    "Um?"

    "Just being a kid in front of me is fine."

    Tan Zheng stared at Ren Zhaoyuan for a while without looking away, until he saw that Ren Zhaoyuan couldn't bear to say something before raising his hand and pressing Ren Zhaoyuan on the back of his neck.

    kiss people.

    As soon as the kiss was over, it was not over. Ren Zhaoyuan had some experience and stretched out his hand to block between the two of them during the brief interval of separation.

    Tan Zheng wanted to take it away reluctantly, but Ren Zhaoyuan pinched his face and reminded, "Didn't you book a concert ticket? If you don't leave, it will be too late."

    "Well," Tan Zheng kissed him again before getting up to tidy up his clothes, "Let's go."

    They have been like this most of the working day recently. Ren Zhaoyuan came to pick up Tan Zheng from get off work in the afternoon. He came up early to sit in the office for a while, and Tan Zheng went downstairs early in the evening, and then the two of them went to do something together.

    When Kang You called, Ren Zhaoyuan and Tan Zheng had just come out of the theater and were about to go to eat.

    "Hey, Mr. Kang."

    Tan Zheng turned his head to look at Ren Zhaoyuan at the same second he heard the words, and then realized that his reaction was a little too obvious, he turned his head with a light cough, and put a hand on Ren Zhaoyuan's back to lead him the way.

    Kang You made a special call to invite Ren Zhaoyuan to his daughter's birthday party.

    At that time, Ren Zhaoyuan had already refused to attend the wedding banquet of Kangyou's younger brother, and he had already sent the bracelet designed for Kangyou's daughter to Kang's as a return gift for the brooch.

    Kang You is not a person who is entangled, and logically will not do it again.

    "Did something happen?"

    Kang You paused there for a while, then laughed in a low voice and said, "Zhaoyuan, you really make me feel sorry."

    When Ren Zhaoyuan heard the words, he wanted to say that he had no time, and Kang You explained before him.

    "I'm sorry. Runrun was recently ill and underwent tonsillectomy. The doctor told her to try to avoid crying and talking loudly. I thought she forgot to invite you, but I didn't expect you to keep asking me just now and hear that you won't come. I'm in a hurry."

    Kang You's words were full of sincerity: "She likes you very much. If it's convenient for you, can I trouble you to come to her birthday party? If you're busy with work, just show up and say happy birthday."

    Ren Zhaoyuan's heart moved slightly, thinking, maybe this is the heart of most parents in the world.

    No matter what status and status outside, no matter what habits you have on weekdays, for the sake of the children's happiness, you can speak softly and be down on one small thing.

    "Okay, I'll be there on time." Ren Zhaoyuan noticed that the hand on his back was a little tighter, and the corners of his lips curved slightly, adding another sentence.

    "Does Mr. Kang mind if I bring my family?"

    The author says:

    I wanted to remind you before that if you encounter similar bullying or fights in your life, don't learn to be a teacher even if you want to help. First of all, it is right to call 110 to find the police uncle for your own safety! !

    Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
