    After waiting for a while, didn't see Sheng Min's reply, probably already in the dressing room.Li Xuan took the cup and returned to the meeting room.

    "One Corner"'s semi-monthly summary meeting, since the official preparation of "Reverse Track", his energy has basically been transferred to it. After all, "One Corner" has a good direction, and Chu Tianheng and Qi Boyuan stared at it, so there is nothing to worry aboutThere are only regular meetings, and I still listen to it occasionally.Li Xuan didn't raise his head much throughout the meeting, and waited for Chu Tianheng to finish speaking before pressing the screen of his laptop: "Basically no problem."

    "That's not basic." Chu Tianheng put down the laser pointer.

    "The random visit function of npc, I should have mentioned, it can be activated this time."

    "I've considered it, but it's too late in time. It's still going to be put in the next update."

    Li Xuan hummed, but didn't say anything more: "Let's adjourn the meeting."

    "I'm looking for you." He was carrying his laptop and was about to go back to the office, but before going out of the door, he bumped into Qi Boyuan head-on.He went to the matchmaking game to announce the release in the afternoon. He didn't attend the regular meeting. He just rushed back and still hadn't put down his bag.

    "how?"

    Li Xuan stopped, and waited for the two employees beside him to leave before Qi Boyuan asked him, "Did the server of "Yi Yu" go wrong again yesterday?"

    "What's the problem?" Li Xuan's expression did not change.

    "You're here to pretend for me." Qi Boyuan lowered his voice, "I don't have time to ask you about this, why is it getting more and more frequent, every week is more punctual than the eight o'clock file..."As he said, he didn't know what he noticed, he frowned, and his tone was a little disgusted, "There are wolves in front and tigers in back."

    Li Xuan raised his eyes and followed his gaze. Zhao Jizhe was looking at them from the other side of the corridor, holding the latest materials in his hands.He withdrew his gaze and said lightly, "Which one bit you?"

    "It's really worth it!" Qi Boyuan pushed down his glasses impatiently, "You can just resist like this, and forget it if you are stubborn."

    "What is life and death in broad daylight." Chu Tianheng had just explained the work with the art team, and seeing that their atmosphere was not right again, he hurried over, "Don't be like black-eyed chickens, you have something to say, just say itwhat?"

    "It is said that our boss is so capable that he doesn't pay attention to anything." Qi Boyuan gritted his teeth, "I'm a chicken and a duck and worry about it."

    "What are you talking about? Why are you worrying about it?" They all knew the source of Qi Boyuan's hair loss recently, and Li Xuan never said a word. It was neither right nor wrong for Chu Tianheng to persuade him., go eat first."

    "I don't want to eat, you go." Li Xuan finally opened his mouth, "I have something to go out tomorrow afternoon, and if I need approval from my side, I will bring it in the morning."

    "I'm not going either." Qi Boyuan muffled.

    "You two are afraid of giving money, aren't you?" Chu Tianheng made a serious face on purpose, "Is it okay for me to treat you? You two call me senior, listen to me this time, if you don't eat, just watch me eat."

    Anyway, in the end they all went.

    I didn't go too far, and I had to come back to work overtime, so I found a random Yunnan restaurant downstairs, and it took less than half an hour from ordering to paying the bill.Li Xuan was going to pay the bill, but Chu Tianheng insisted on paying.

    "If I had known it was really a senior, you would buy it, I would have added two more big dishes."

    "Save money for Li Xuan and not for me." Chu Tianheng replied, but Qi Boyuan didn't pick it up, and said, "You still have time now, go upstairs for supper."

    As soon as he lifted the curtain and went out, it was only twenty steps from the box to the front desk, and Chu Tianheng didn't come back for ten minutes.

    "Where did you go?" Qi Boyuan chose to eat the pineapple in the pineapple rice.

    Li Xuan took the phone and was about to dial when Chu Tianheng came in.

    "I thought you ran away, senior." After Qi Boyuan finished speaking, he felt that there was something wrong with his expression, "Why are you here?"

    "It's nothing." Chu Tianheng scratched his hair, "When I was paying the bill, I heard a woman outside asking where Yuan Yi was. It was strange. I listened to a few more words."

    "Woman?" Li Xuan paused while lighting his cigarette, "What kind of woman?"

    "Forty or fifty years old, quite tall, very thin..."

    Before Chu Tianheng finished speaking, Li Xuan suddenly stood up and walked to the French window.

    "Yes, it's her, the aunt by the pool, she was just now..." Chu Tianheng hesitated, "Li Xuan, do you know her?"

    Shu Xin was asking a young girl passing by, and the girl pointed her in the direction, and she walked along.

    "Yeah." Li Xuan took a puff of cigarette and said calmly, "I know."

    "she......"

    Li Xuan finished smoking, stubbed out the cigarette butt, and said: "You guys go upstairs first."

    "Then you..." Qi Boyuan was a little hesitant, and he didn't want to ask the woman's identity rashly.

    "It's okay." Li Xuan shook his head, Qi Boyuan behind him didn't answer his call, and sent a message with his eyes down, took his coat and walked towards Shu Xin.

    The weather was getting a bit cold, but Shu Xin was only wearing a long summer dress, her wrists were empty, her bracelet was gone, and she was carrying a thermos bucket.She was in a trance as usual, Li Xuan followed her casually for about ten meters with her hands in her pockets, but was not noticed until Li Xuan coughed, she turned her head in surprise, and saw Li Xuan's eyes lit up: "son."

    I haven't seen her for a few months, but Shu Xin looks a little fatter instead. don't know if it's because of the cold or something, but her complexion always feels a little yellow.

    She rushed forward in a hurry, her eye circles were red before speaking: "Mom hasn't seen you for several months..."

    Cold hands grabbed Li Xuan's arm, Li Xuan looked at her blue arm, and coldly handed her the windbreaker in his hand: "Put it on first."

    "Mom is not cold, you have been in poor health since you were a child, how can you catch cold..."

    "Put it on, do you think I'm being polite to you?"

    Shu Xin was actually a little afraid of him, so she had no choice but to catch it. She didn't know what to do with the thermos in her hand. When she was at a loss, Li Xuan reached out and took it.See Shu Xin put on her clothes: "Don't stay here, go to another place first."

    I found a coffee shop nearby, and there was only a table of them on the second floor. When Shu Xin was not sick, she only looked at the appearance, and unfamiliar people would not be able to see the problem at a glance.She politely thanked the waiter for the latte.

    It's just that as soon as the waiter left, facing Li Xuan, he immediately turned into a new face who was about to cry.

    It was a loving mother, but Li Xuan was not moved at all, and only asked: "What are you doing here?" Li Mingge was so nervous about her, it was absolutely impossible for Shu Xin to leave the house by herself, "Who told you I was here."

    "It's been a long time since you came home. You're so young, you don't want to go home. You and your dad are angry, so you have to go home."

    "Angry?" Li Xuan raised his eyebrows, "Who told you?"

    Shu Xin said bitterly: "Who told me, no one told me... Your dad never told me anything, and even lied to me that you were writing a paper at school... If I hadn't heard ZhouQi told him, but he kept him in the dark..."

    Li Xuan absent-mindedly thought that if Li Mingge knew who had leaked the news, his secretary might be in trouble, so he propped his head on one hand, listening bored.Shu Xin scolded Li Mingge upside down, and then asked him anxiously: "You are not at school or home, what are you doing here? I have asked carefully, there is no laboratory here, are you notThose who come to do experiments, don’t try to lie to mom.”

    "Why should I lie to you? It's not necessary for me." Li Xuan shook his head calmly, with his usual expression, "Of course I'm not here to conduct experiments."

    "If you don't do experiments... then what about your thesis? Have you come out with the results of the insurance research? It's still at N University. The dean of your department will take you... My junior is not good at learning, and he is kind.Okay...Actually, it stands to reason that it would be better for you to go abroad, but Mom is always worried about your body..."

    She was immersed in her own fantasies, Li Xuan didn't care, she didn't have a computer by her side, so she used the notepad on her mobile phone to write plans, and when Shu Xin finally said she was tired, she put down her mobile phone and said calmly: "I don't know how to go to graduate school anymore,I will never study physics again."

    A needle that flew out of nowhere pierced all the illusions. Shu Xin stared at him with wide eyes. She was stunned for a while, trembling all over, and stood up excitedly, like a trapped animal: "What crazy words are you talking about? Are you going to beAs a physicist, you told your mother since you were a child that you want to inherit my career... Are you too tired? You must be too tired."

    She tremblingly went to get the thermos next to her: "Mom brought you soup..."

    She was shaking all the time, her fingers couldn't be controlled, she managed to open the lid with a bang, but the soup was spilled all over the floor, Shu Xin seemed to be unable to support herself, she crouched down, covered her face and broke down and cried.

    "You are going to be a physicist." She cried and repeated, "Your father coaxed me, and you coaxed me too. You didn't forgive my mother, right. I didn't mean it. If I knew it earlier, I would hurt you.I will not insist on going to the base... I would not want to trade myself for you, I have given up my career, I am willing to take care of you at home every day to make up for it, why can't you forgive me, you are obviously so talented, you are bornA good seed of physics, I have no field to explore, my unfinished business..."

    The movement was so loud that the waiter downstairs was alarmed, and he hurried up to check, the stairs were pounding, and Li Xuan raised his eyes to stop the other party from approaching.

    "I don't like physics, I don't want to be a scientist, and I'm not interested in making any contribution to scientific research. I'm a layman, not as great as you."

    Shu Xin was about to faint from what she said, and she had no gestures: "What crazy words are you talking about? You promised your mother yourself. You have talent..."

    "It was never me who promised you." He grabbed Shu Xin's arm, pulled her up from the ground abruptly, and stepped on the puddle of sweet and fishy soup, "I don't like to drink your soup either.Tang Shuishui, Aunt Shu..." Li Xuan looked at her with eye feathers blocking the pity, "I don't believe you are so crazy, do you really not understand, or do you not want to understand,I don't care. I have spent enough time on you, Li Minger coaxed you, I can't do these tricks. "

    He paused slightly, his thin lips moved slightly, and the words he had pressed for a long time came out without warning: "I am not your son."

    Shu Xin, who was trembling like a pale puppet that had run out of spring, stopped abruptly.She lowered her head, and the spine on the back of her neck protruded: "Son..." She called him in a very sticky voice, "Why are you still the same as when you were a child, when you get angry, you say no to me and DadI'm a child, I'm going to run away from home, how old I am. I can't be like a child anymore..."

    Her tone and demeanor were so weird, Li Xuan didn't care at all: "Not how old, was he sixteen when he died? I don't remember your son's birthday, you should know."

    He grabbed Shu Xin's shoulders and forced her to raise her face: "Since you love him so much and put so much effort into it, can you really not tell the difference? Your son is a sick child, how do I look like me?" He took every stepDon't let it go, aggressive, "You just hoped that I was the one who died and he was the one who survived. No way, I'm the one with a hard life, so please feel sorry for me."

    "You're talking nonsense!" After a few words, Shu Xin's whole body seemed to have been soaked in water, and she roared out like an explosion. She completely lost her color. She struggled to break free from Li Xuan, her eyes dodged, but she refused to look at him, "It’s not like this, it’s not like this, you’re too tired, you’re only talking nonsense when you’re too tired..."

    While she was talking, she kept backing away, and she stepped on the gap between the raised ground and was caught by Li Xuan with quick eyes and hands.Ke Shuxin pushed him away without hesitation, her posture was extremely agile, she didn't look like a chronically ill person at all.

    "It's not like this..." She was still talking, the high heels sprained her foot, and she turned around and ran out of the coffee shop without knowing the pain. Before reaching the stairs, she bumped into another person.

    "Nonsense, they all lied to me..." Shu Xin murmured incessantly, without raising her head, she rushed around blindfolded.Someone grabbed her: "Shu Xin! Shu Xin!"

    Li Xuan originally chased after a few steps, but stopped when he saw Li Mingge.Meeting the other party's resentful gaze, he shrugged indifferently.

    Li Mingge yelled several times, Shu Xin didn't even know him, she kicked and bit him, Li Mingge didn't resist at all, and got several blood red marks on his face and hands, until Shu Xin slapped him suddenly.When it reached his face, there was a crisp sound, and she seemed to wake up suddenly again.

    "Minger..." Shu Xin looked at him, her whole face was in a mess of crying, "Son, son doesn't recognize me anymore, he hates me, he still hates me..."

    "No, how could it be." Li Mingge's face was beaten to the side, swallowed the blood, and still said softly, "It's okay, you don't know our son, you are the most obedient. He is the most obedient.Doing research is too tiring, you are in a bad mood, and you just say something angry, didn't we have times like this when we were studying?"

    "But he's not in school, he said he won't study physics anymore..." she said helplessly.

    "It's just angry words. But take a break once in a while. I've been working hard a while ago. I just talked to my junior brother on the phone before I came. If you don't believe me, you can ask him later..."

    He spoke softly, but quietly wrapped his arms behind Shu Xin, Li Xuan frowned, and subconsciously stood up, the needle had already stuck into Shu Xin's shoulder joint.

    Like a young animal caught by a hunter, Shu Xin struggled twice, then collapsed limply.

    On the opposite side, Li Mingge nervously supported her, glared at Li Xuan, his gentle appearance was completely burned by anger: "You did a good job! What nonsense did you and your mother talk about?!"

    "I told some truths that you dare not tell." The needle has not been pulled out from Shu Xin's body, and the body of the tube is shaking, as if it will be broken at any time. Every time Li Mingge appears, it can refresh the lower limit of Li Xuan's knowledge of him, Disgusted, "Do you really think this is good?"

    "I don't need you to take care of what I do."

    "It's too much, I don't want to worry about it, the so-called non-speculative words are more than half a sentence." Li Xuan's fingers randomly slid and pulled between the two, "That's how it is."

    Li Mingge stared at him, the veins on his cheeks were bulging, Li Xuan met his gaze, walked over without avoiding it.When passing by Li Minger, there was a slight pause.

    Mistakenly thinking that he was going to do something out of the ordinary, Li Minge unconsciously hugged Shu Xin and took a step back. Li Xuan turned his wrist and pulled the needle off.

    "If you don't pull it out, the blood will return." He casually placed it on the table next to him, without looking at Li Mingge or Shu Xin, and called the waiter loudly, "Pay the bill."

    Returning to the company as usual, Chu Tianheng and Qi Boyuan were obviously waiting for him, as soon as he entered the door, both pairs of eyes turned.

    "Look at what I'm doing?" Li Xuan covered his mouth and yawned, "Work overtime if you have work, and leave work if you don't have get off work, so you don't need to waste time here."

    Of course he himself was the one who had to work overtime.After entering the office and closing the door, he lit another cigarette. After smoking, he rarely thought about the editor, pinched the bridge of his nose, and called out the TV series played by Sheng Min as the background sound.

    Sheng Min's gentle voice sounded, covering up many unpleasant things in his mind.It's all right now, Li Xuan thought, so he typed the code again.

    As soon as wrote it, it was morning, and the lights in the lobby outside went out and off. After finishing the playback system, felt in good spirits, and started to improve the background of the main line. waited until the employees who had gone downstairs for lunch came back one after another, and then asked the administration to order for him., ate a meal that don't know which meal to count.Looking at the time, Sheng Min's plane was about to land, and he planned to sleep for a quarter of an hour before setting off for the airport. He leaned back on the chair and just closed his eyes when there was a knock on the door.

    "Li Xuan."

    "Huh?" He slightly opened his eyes and saw Qi Boyuan, "What are you doing?"

    "Someone is looking for you." Qi Boyuan looked a little strange, and paused for a moment, "It's your father."

    Li Xuan pressed his eyebrows, thinking that Li Mingge would find him, it was a little too soon.Covering his eyes with his backhand, he squinted for another minute, and stood up: "Let him in."

    "Really?" Li Xuan never mentioned family affairs, Qi Boyuan vaguely pieced together a little bit over the years, only thought it was an authoritarian parent who did not respect the child's wishes, and remembered the expression on the other side's questioning, "He..."

    Li Xuan sneered: "There are too many people waiting to get married with me."

    "Can I talk to you well?" Qi Boyuan was choked by him, rolled his eyes and wanted to leave.

    "Wait." Li Xuan pointed to the takeaway box, "Help me take out the trash."

    He went to wash his face, and when he came back, Li Minger was already sitting on the sofa.Shu Xin's slap was too forceful yesterday, half of his face was swollen, his clothes were still the same as yesterday, a little wrinkled, and there were blood stains on the neckline.Since the first time he appeared in Qingshui Lane that year, it was the first time Li Xuan saw him in such an unseemly appearance.

    "Thanks to you, your mother didn't sleep well last night, she kept waking up and crying when she woke up." Li Mingge said with deep exhaustion on his brows, "You did a good job."

    "It needn't be. I can't take the credit for that,"

    "You can't bear it? You stimulated her so much, and now you want to shirk responsibility?" Li Mingge's face was gloomy, "She is a woman! She is a patient!"

    "You finally admitted that she was sick?" Li Xuan frowned slightly."She's sick, and you don't let her see a doctor. Did you get better after coaxing her for so many years?"

    "You don't need to judge this!" Li Minger avoided this question, and said in a warning tone, "She must see you now, and you must go back today."

    Li Xuan shook his head and smiled almost invisible: "She doesn't want to see me, who does she want to see, you take her to the cemetery to meet, or you dig out the ashes and bring them back."

    This sentence obviously hurt Li Mingge, "She thinks you are, you are." He squeezed out a sentence through his teeth, as if he couldn't bear it, "Listen, I have given you enough face, you are lucky,With a bit of talent in physics, I have been able to fill my eyes with pearls for so many years..."

    "Pearl fish is up to you. I have talent in everything. But I am selfish and only choose what I like."

    There was no new pattern in the repeated words, and Li Xuan's few patience quickly disappeared in Li Mingge's words. He lowered his head and glanced at his watch again. This frequent action is like adding fuel to the fire at this moment: "What kind of attitude is this?!"

    "It's just that I have something to do, and I need the attitude of seeing off guests."

    "I'm enough to give you face." Li Minger said viciously, and stood up as soon as he slapped the table, not wanting the decency of an intellectual, and pointed at his nose, "It's just three things, this is the third time I've talked to you,If you don't come back with me today..."

    "In broad daylight, don't talk in your sleep. This one is enough for me, and you can keep the rest for yourself."

    Li Mingge took a deep breath, squinted his eyes, looked like an old bellows, and made a heavy panting sound from his throat, with a vaguely crazy expression: "Didn't you learn enough from the previous lesson?"

    "It's easy to say." Li Xuan nodded easily, "It's a waste, so I don't need to report the money?"

    "I can afford it, but you don't have the capital."

    Li Xuan pretended to think seriously for a while: "Try it, how will you know if you don't try it?"

    If you regret anything, just wait and see.

    Before Li Mingge left, his eyes were a little cloudy, like a cloudy sky before a heavy rain.Li Xuan only asked him to please - there was one thing that he immediately regretted, Li Mingge delayed him for too long and missed the time when Sheng Min's plane landed.

    'I'm off to interview first, see you later.'

    Open WeChat and see this message.Li Xuan said hello, it's too early now, staring at Sheng Min's profile picture for a while, then returned to the computer.

    I continued to write the code for an hour or so. Seeing that the time was almost up, I took my clothes and prepared to go. Perhaps I heard the quarrel. The hall, which was originally full of chatter, became quiet when I saw him.

    Li Xuan didn't care, and walked towards the elevator by himself. Just after he pressed the down button, Chu Tianheng chased after him.

    "What's going on?" He asked, "Bo Yuan hesitated, he couldn't understand and was worried, so he pushed me to ask you."

    "I can't finish worrying." Hearing what he said, Li Xuan glanced at the door of the company. He didn't see Qi Boyuan, but noticed Zhao Jizhe's eavesdropping figure hiding behind the door, who met his gaze., quickly bowed his head and shrank back.

    "I also care about you." Chu Tianheng didn't notice, and when he didn't answer, he looked more solemn: "Are you okay?"

    Through several doors, they could more or less hear the meaning of the person who came here. Li Xuan still looked like he didn't care about anything, and nodded into the elevator: "It's a small matter."

    When the two words were blocked, Chu Tianheng didn't know how to ask.

    "By the way." Seeing that the elevator door was about to close, Li Xuan stretched out his hand to block it, "I sent you an email."

    "what?"

    "The code for the random access function." He said in a relaxed tone, "Didn't it be too late? I've finished it, let's add it."
