The [-]-word essay that Jiang An had prepared with great difficulty was blocked again. His first reaction was that he would not talk to his father-in-law so much in the future.

Xia Yao next to him obviously couldn't wake up from his father's escaping thinking. He was stunned for a while, and only realized when the secretary put a cup of fruit tea in front of him. He turned his head and saw Jiang An holding up the transparent straight Sheng Cup took a sip, and the office was silent for a while.

"Yaoyao doesn't eat seafood, so what shall we eat? Hot pot? It seems a bit hot?" Xia Ren took the list of restaurants he usually ate from from the secretary, pointed to "Xu Liushan" and asked the young secretary: "What is this? They all look like tough dishes."

The secretary smiled awkwardly but politely: "Boss, this is the place to eat ice."

"Eat—what to eat?" Xia Ren immediately glanced at the two embarrassed young people opposite, turned his head and lowered his voice and asked the secretary cautiously: "When have I been to such a place that violates laws and regulations?!"

"This..." The secretary's smile froze, leaving only a look of embarrassment enlarged on his brows and eyes. He also answered in a low voice to the boss who suddenly changed his name a few days ago and called him the boss with extremely out-of-the-box thinking, saying : "No, it's a dessert place, not 'that' ice..."

Xia Ren breathed a sigh of relief. These days, business partners are separated by a layer of human skin, and no one knows what's inside.However, he breathed a sigh of relief. After seeing Xia Yao, he immediately became nervous again. He coughed twice, and immediately explained to himself: "Yaoyao, don't worry, Dad won't find you a stepmother again. It's good to live together, don't worry if you don't know how to find them."

Xia Yao: "...Dad, I didn't think about that."

Xia Ren continued to discuss with the secretary what to have for lunch, and Jiang An's doubts gradually amplified. How could such a defiant father teach his son to be so calm?He looked at Xia Yao, leaned closer to him, and asked him in a low voice, "You have been taken by your uncle all by yourself since you were a child?"

Xia Yao nodded, leaned back slightly, and answered Jiang An's ear: "Always carry it."

Just as Jiang An was imagining about this "always", Xia Ren finally decided what to eat, the secretary pushed the pad in front of them, and told them kindly: "Excuse me, the boss said we will go later Eat Hunan cuisine, can you two?"

"I'm fine, bo...that, heart—"

Jiang An felt that these two pet names seemed inappropriate to be used in front of elders, so he pointed his eyes directly at Xia Yao, who "followed" his eyes and said, "I'm fine, just eat what Dad likes."

Xia Ren seemed to be very satisfied with Jiang An's performance - even though Jiang An didn't know why his father-in-law suddenly smiled at him so kindly, he still tried his best to maintain his reserve and set a good standard for getting along with him.

Xia Ren didn't have much work this morning, probably because of this meeting, the three of them were more comfortable talking about work, Xia Ren asked Jiang An a lot of questions about the e-sports industry, and talked about it. For a while, then he inevitably mentioned the future to the two of them.

The last time Jiang An mentioned this topic, Xia Yao avoided it.

Xia Ren took a sip of tea and said, "How are you thinking about Yaoyao's insurance research?"

"Dad, I'll continue studying in China, and I won't delay my studies." Xia Yao didn't want to answer him directly.

"This--"

"I like this major very much. It's too far to go to school. One day I will be the father who will come back."

Xia Ren suddenly stopped talking, and shifted his gaze to Jiang An, who immediately said, "I can accompany you wherever you go, if the study environment abroad—"

"It's not because of you..." Xia Yao looked at him and then at Xia Ren, but the sudden serious topic made him a little dumbfounded, "Dad, didn't we discuss this issue before? The school has already finalized it." I'm going to report in September, I don't want you to be too far away from your grandparents, and your friends are all in China."

Xia Ren curled his lips, and the secretary next to him immediately took out a tissue and handed it over. He waved his hand to refuse, and then wiped his eyes with two fingers.Xia Yao knew that his father was not as stable and reserved as him in his daily life, but he had never seen his father so easily moved.

"Dad, let's go to eat." He stood up first, followed by Jiang An, and the two stood obediently in front of the table, waiting for Xia Ren to come over from the desk.

Before Xia Ren got up, he bent down to find something in the drawer, and he said to himself while pulling: "I obviously put it here, where did it go? This is...Xiao Wu, my Nine Chains Where did it go?"

The secretary put down the pad in his hand, squatted down and opened the bottom cabinet door, opened the small safe where the documents were stored, took out the delicate box and handed it to Xia Ren: "Boss, last time you told me to put it away, here!"

"Hey, that's it!" Xia Ren opened the box, holding the delicate golden nine rings inside, then picked it up and shook it, walked up to Xia Yao and handed it to him: "Come on! This is a gift from my grandpa and grandma." your!"

"...Grandpa and grandma?" Xia Yao looked back at Jiang An subconsciously, and was still in a daze when he stretched out his hand to receive Jiulianhuan.

Xia Ren licked his lips, his expression seemed to be probing, and his tone was very cautious: "The old man doesn't know what to give, it seems that I went to someone to test your horoscope a while ago, and the charlatan said that you lack gold in the five elements, it's just nonsense Nonsense!——No, I don’t mean your grandparents are talking nonsense, they don’t know what to give you, your grandma advocates giving you a gold ornament, and I didn’t think it looked very good when I bought a fish at first... ..you mustn’t tell them that I—”

"Dad." Xia Yao interrupted him.

"what?"

"Is this really what my grandpa and grandma gave me?"

How dare Xia Yao believe it? He saw his grandparents for the first time when he was seven or eight years old. Although he goes to pay New Year's greetings every year, he has never been able to enter the door. He always leaves his things at the door and leaves. The two old people are so stubborn Yes, it's useless to persuade anyone.

He looked at the pure gold nine chains lying in his palm, shook his head and asked again: "Did they really give it to me?"

With an expression of "I knew you didn't believe it", Xia Ren waved to the secretary, and the secretary brought the pad over again. He took it and opened the photo album and said, "I know you don't believe me, so I deliberately—— Come, take a look, I specially invited the two of you to record a video as proof!"

The video started to play, Xia Yao held the pad in both hands, and saw that the temples of the two elderly people on the screen were completely gray.

"How do you do this? Have you started recording yet? ——Hey old lady, hurry up and come closer!"

"I won't record it! If I want to record it, you record it! Go away, go away - what kind of filter did you put on, you're so ugly!"

"Oh yo, the number one beauty in ten miles and eight towns is not ugly, neither ugly nor ugly, come and say a few words to Yaoyao, isn't it what you said to buy fish? Why don't you let me—"

"Okay, shut up!...Don't get so close to the camera, it's not that you can't hold it!"

Seeing the two unfamiliar yet familiar old men chattering in the camera, Xia Yao's ears felt sore, he clenched his molars and swallowed back the soreness, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

It's just that he was still in a trance, feeling that everything in front of him was easier to break than a dream.

"I'm starting to talk. Ahem, Yaoyao, your mother gave birth to you. She's gone. You have to be considerate of your grandma, grandpa, and me. Your mother is not seriously ill. She was fine the day before. , just to have a baby, right? This person is gone..."

"Don't say these things are useless! People and children will not be sad to hear that!"

"It's hard for someone to come here and you're kicked out every day. If you don't come, you say that they are just pretending. You women are really difficult to serve-oh, don't do it. I will continue. I will continue. It turns out that your mother left a letter." Letter, your grandmother found out the year before last. Our daughter was afraid that you would not live well. She told us in the letter that if she was not well, let us take you over to take care of her. She was mainly afraid that your father would find another black heart for you. stepmother--"

After the video is put here, Xia Ren quickly waved his hands, shook his head at high frequency in sync, and said "I don't have one", Xia Yao couldn't help but smile, took half a step towards him, and leaned gently on him——Xia Ren When I raised my arms to hug this 1.8-meter tall son, my hands were still trembling.

Xia Yao responded to him with a smile: "I know, Dad." Then the two continued to watch the video.

"That's what it means. Your grandma and I have made a plan to give you a birthday present. If your father insists that you won't believe it, we specially recorded a video to prove it—old lady, say a few words, or the child will think you are Not happy yet!"

"I won't say anything, there's nothing to say, I won't come here for more than half a year, and I won't come if I say a few words, how generous..."

"You have to wait for the child to come and you can talk well. Can you talk well! When I was a child, my grandparents lived abroad with my second uncle, and no one cared about him. His father talked about business while breastfeeding. How hard it is for the child. Anyway, gifts Go out, let's talk about birthday-"

When the word birthday was mentioned, the video fell into silence for more than ten seconds. On the screen, the expressions of the two old people were gloomy, and neither of them spoke while sitting on the sofa.Jiang An glanced at Xia Yao, who was frowning tightly, and saw that he suddenly reached out and pressed pause, but Xia Ren clicked play again.

"Our girl is Fubo. If you don't see the child grow up, let's be a girl Fubo..." Grandpa Xia Yao sighed and patted his grandmother's shoulder again. Xia Yao looked at the scene I subconsciously said sorry, apologizing as usual.

And the grandmother who didn't talk much in the video suddenly raised her hand to wipe away her tears, looked up at the camera and said: "Xia Yao, you are old, you are so much like your mother, what a beautiful child, grandma just can't help it." Facing you, I have never been able to face you. If you are not busy, you can often go home to visit. Grandparents are abroad. This year, I will come to grandma’s house for your birthday. Come to grandma to make delicious food for you. Remember to hate grandma, okay? Let’s not apologize in the future, no one is sorry for anyone, if you really want to say sorry, God is blind..."

"Why are you crying? This is it. It's all recorded, right? Why is this closed..."

"Hey, I remember telling the child to call his friend—what's his name? I'm getting old and my memory is gone, anyway, who is that, colleague? Or is it the one who plays games—"

"Then how do I know which one you're talking about!"

"It was that day, that day when I kissed our child on that TV, you have to think about it! The machine is going to run out of power!"

"It seems to be called..."

Xia Yao was holding a pad in his hands, tears were rolling down drop by drop, but at the end of the video, he laughed so hard that his eyes curled up.He bit his lower lip and turned his head to look at the colleague who didn't deserve to have a name, and couldn't help laughing.

Jiang An couldn't care whether his father-in-law was present, he raised his hands to wipe the tears from Xia Yao's eyes, and said with a smile: "When you meet, you must tell grandpa and grandma what my name is, I am not a colleague."

"Okay." Xia Yao returned the pad to the secretary, turned back and asked Xia Ren: "Dad, where is the letter from Mom?"

Xia Ren took out the letter from the box and handed it to Xia Yao, but immediately pressed his hand again and said, "Don't read it now, let's go eat first, have a good meal!"

"......Um."

Xia Yao then put the letter and Jiu Lianhuan back, and followed Xia Ren out with Jiang An.

Jiang An stared at the box in his hand for a while, then quietly asked him, "Why is it Jiulianhuan?"

"Ok?"

"Birthday gift, why Nine Links?"

Xia Yao thought for a while, and said: "It seems that my parents met because of Jiulianhuan, and when I was young, when my dad was negotiating business with others and couldn't take care of me, he let me untie Jiulianhuan by myself."

"Then I finally know why I grew up doing this."

"what?"

"When I was young, my parents had no time to take care of me, so they put me in the office to play with the computer. After a long time, I can repair the computer."

"...Uncle and aunt are quite prescient."

Xia Yao took two steps and then stopped. He asked Jiang An: "What does playing Jiulianhuan have to do with me growing up?"

Jiang An also thought about it carefully, and finally answered him: "I heard that there are hundreds of steps to solve the Jiulianhuan. I praise you for your good temper and patience."

"Is that what you mean?" Xia Yao took two steps forward suspiciously.

"of course it's true!"

Jiang An raised his hand to pat his vest, leaned over and said, "How could I lie to you?"

Of course, Xia Yao didn't think about whether this person would lie to him, after all, he was the biggest "liar" in this "human story".

A group of people entered the special elevator, and the elevator door slowly closed. Jiang An and Xia Yao stood in the innermost place. Going down from the forty or so floors, it was enough for Jiang An to do some little tricks—he held Xia Yao with one hand, and waited for him to turn around. When she came to see herself, she blinked at him again.

After a while, their mobile phones "ding dong" at the same time. Xia Yao, who was held by him, took out his mobile phone to read the information first. After reading it, he looked up at Jiang An again, and shook the mobile phone at him.

Jiang An took out the phone and unlocked it, and a message popped up.

The elevator opened with a ding, Xia Yao and Jiang An walked behind, and heard the secretary call to talk about Jiang An's contract.

The two looked at each other and finally smiled at each other.

I also want to fight side by side with you, stand on the podium together, and then I want to kiss you in my acceptance speech.

Now we can finally fight side by side, go to a bigger arena to win higher honors, and finally kiss you on the podium.

This book is finally finished!I feel that 30 words of writing is not enough, so I am talking about it hhh this is a (fake) mmorpg e-sports book. Before I opened it, my friend told me that it might be cold... However, writing an mmorpg e-sports book is what I have always wanted I did, although I'm not very good at playing games.There are two extra episodes, let’s be honest, everyone said it was to make up 20 words... Try to finish writing and send it out within this month!In fact, I didn't expect to be able to write so much. At first, I told the editor that it was a little over 26, and then it became 500, and now it is almost [-].Like every book and every story before, I am reluctant to end and at the same time want to stop at the most appropriate and best place in my opinion.Thanks to more than [-] cuties for their company, Jiang An and Xia Yao are going to say goodbye to everyone for the time being (in fact, we can see you again hhh) I hope they have brought joy and touch to everyone, and I hope you like them!See you next time!
