Jiang Heng didn’t stay at Huo Zhixiao’s house for too long, seeing that Huo Zhixiao had no intention tagging along, he asked other friends to hang out.
This surprised Ding Yinan. He thought that Huo Zhixiao would definitely go out with Jiang Heng, but he didn’t expect that Huo Zhixiao’s reason turned out to be – he had to walk the dog.
“Didn’t you said that I have to be responsible for San Baisui?” Huo Zhixiao asked.
San Baisui had developed the habit of pooping at a fixed time every day. If no one watched the time and took it out, it would poop at home.
“Yes.” Ding Yinan served Huo Zhixiao a good meal, admitting that he underestimated Huo Zhixiao, “You are a qualified breeder.”
“Then is there any reward?” Huo Zhixiao asked.
What reward is there for this?
Ding Yinan picked up a chopstick and put it into Huo Zhixiao’s bowl, and said, “You like beef tenderloin with black pepper.”
After dinner, Ding Yinan retired and planned to go home. And Huo Zhixiao happened to take San Baisui out for a walk, so the two walked along the green belt towards Ding Yinan’s house together.
Huo Zhixiao handed the dog leash to Ding Yinan, saying that Ding Yinan could take San Baisui on a walk when he went back home, and he would be in charge of the walk back home.
The current San Baisui had not yet learned to follow skills. It did not know how to walk at the feet of the master, and always smells here and there. But this little dog was not weak, Ding Yinan was pulled by it to walk the word “Zigzag” on the path of the green belt, while Huo Zhixiao put his hands in his trouser pockets, and followed Ding Yinan easily.
On the lawn not far away, there were two untethered Teddy fighting, making a noise, one of them suddenly rode on the other and made indecent movements.
Teddy was fierce in the first place, and San Baisui was not a good dog. Ding Yinan was afraid that they would fight, so he pulled the dog leash to San Baisui go on.
“Let it take a look.” Huo Zhixiao followed with long legs, “It’s a good opportunity to observe.”
Ding Yinan understood what Huo Zhixiao meant, he glanced at the two Teddy, and unmoved, he led San Baisui forward: “It’s still young.”
“Didn’t you watch movies when you were young?” Huo Zhixiao said with a smile.

Ding Yinan grew up in the countryside, so he didn’t have any chance to watch movies. The first time he came into contact with pornography was when Yuan Feng and his roommates let him watch it. At that time, he was sure that he was not interested in things between men and women.

But when he was about to leave, Huo Zhixiao suddenly stopped him and said, “What are you doing tomorrow?”
Ding Yinan was going to help Yuan Feng tomorrow night, but of course he didn’t need to tell Huo Zhixiao about these things. He said, “Stay home.”
“Then let’s go to the movies.” Huo Zhixiao said, “There is a suspense movie coming out.”
……See a movie?
Ding Yinan digested Huo Zhixiao’s proposal for a long time.
He had to say that these days he stays at home to pass the time every day. Leisure was leisure, but it was inevitable to feel bored after a long time. It was nice to go for a walk, but the problem was that no employee wants to go to the movies with the boss.
“The two of us?” Ding Yinan confirmed again.
“Otherwise?” Huo Zhixiao asked back.
“But,” Ding Yinan felt strange, “Why do we go to the movies?”
“That movie was well-received.” Huo Zhixiao said.
That’s not the point at all.
“I mean,” Ding Yinan paused, pointed at Huo Zhixiao, said “boss”, then pointed at himself, said “employee”, and then repeated the question just now, ” Why are we going to the movies?”
“What’s wrong?” Huo Zhixiao said calmly, “We’re even walking the dog together.”
This sentence made Ding Yinan speechless, because no employee would walk the dog with the boss. He tried to find the logical loophole in this sentence, but before he thought of it, Huo Zhixiao said: “I will pick you up at noon tomorrow.”
Looking at the backs of Huo Zhixiao and San Baisui leaving, Ding Yinan once again felt that he had auditory hallucinations. He used to pick up Huo Zhixiao when he went out, when did it become Huo Zhixiao to pick him up?
Ding Yinan was not a person who didn’t know how to say no, on the contrary, he had a very decisive character. Like when he found out that Han Shuo was cheating physically, he broke up without saying a word. But Huo Zhixiao’s situation was very special, perhaps because of his status as a superior, Ding Yinan was always used to giving him special treatment.
Near noon the next day, Ding Yinan received a WeChat message from Huo Zhixiao. A very short word: Morning.
This old man obviously just woke up, maybe he was still lying on the bed.
Although it was normal for colleagues to greet each other, it was limited to face-to-face social etiquette. Ding Yinan didn’t know how to reply when Huo Zhixiao deliberately sent a WeChat message to greet him like this.
He didn’t reply “Morning” politely, but asked: Do I need to order movie tickets?
【Huo Zhixiao: No, I’ve ordered it】
Looking at the phone screen, Ding Yinan felt a strange and subtle feeling in his heart. It had been a long time since Huo Zhixiao even booked tickets by himself.
The two met at the gate of the community. Ding Yinan was wearing a plain t-shirt and slacks. He no longer looked like a social elite, but looked like a college student who hadn’t experienced much in the world. Huo Zhixiao’s clothes were also very simple, casual shirts and straight-leg pants, but he was wearing famous brands from head to toe, and he was wearing a perfume that Ding Yinan had never smelled before.
“Don’t you need me to drive?” Ding Yinan asked while sitting in the passenger seat.
“No need.” Huo Zhixiao said, “Fasten your seat belt.”
The shopping mall where the cinema was located had a lot of delicious food. The two settled for lunch in a leisurely manner, and then came to the cinema hall watching the time.
The movie Huo Zhixiao chose was a suspenseful one, which fit Ding Yinan’s taste.
The most interesting thing about watching a mystery movie was to solve puzzles with the protagonist, and the best state of doing this was to have someone accompany you to solve puzzles.
Ding Yinan would not watch mystery movies with Han Shuo, because Han Shuo would only ask who this person is and who that person is, and he couldn’t get into the plot at all.
“The murderer must be that woman.” Huo Zhixiao tilted his head slightly, lowered his voice and whispered in Ding Yinan’s ear, “The camera gave her a close-up just now.”
“I think it’s her husband.” Ding Yinan covered his lips and said to Huo Zhixiao angrily, “He must have had an affair with the deceased.”
The two continued to look down, exchanging ideas in whispers from time to time. As a key plot appeared in the film, the two said “I see” at the same time, and then moved towards each other in unison.
The tip of the nose almost collided with the tip of the nose, but Ding Yinan reacted quickly and retreated first.
There was a knock on the back of the chair behind him, and the audience behind him reminded impatiently: “Can you stop talking?”
Ding Yinan turned around and said sorry, feeling a little funny in his heart. In fact, he was also annoyed by people talking in the movie theater, but somehow he became addicted to discussing with Huo Zhixiao.
At the end of the movie, neither of them guessed the murderer correctly.
Huo Zhixiao looked at his watch and asked Ding Yinan, “What’s for dinner?”
Ding Yinan could no longer have dinner with Huo Zhixiao, because he had to meet Yuan Feng at six o’clock to understand the details of the party that needed help at night.
It was inconvenient for him to tell Huo Zhixiao his upcoming itinerary. After all, what he had to do was to work as a temporary assistant for Yuan Feng, so it was naturally not easy for his real boss to know.
He thought for a while and said, “I have to go home later, I have a video appointment with my sister.”
“Video?” Huo Zhixiao asked.
“Yeah.” Ding Yinan said without changing his expression, “She’s not very good at math, I have to help her with her homework.”
“Alright.” Huo Zhixiao said, “I’ll take you back.”
Yuan Feng said hello to Ding Yinan in advance, and told him to not dress too formally when going to a party for work. It was best to blend into the party and atmosphere.
Ding Yinan’s work clothes were all suits, so he definitely couldn’t wear them. He chose at home for a long time, and finally wore a deep V loose shirt and low-rise jeans. He casually scratched his hair with hairspray and sprayed on a perfume that he would not normally use.
It’s so disturbing, oh, this work ethic of corporate slaves
