Ding Yinan was stunned for a long time, but it was the sound of Huo Zhixiao raising his head drinking that brought him back to his senses. He put down the beer can on his lips, looked at Huo Zhixiao in a foggy manner and asked, “Why are you kissing me?”
“Nothing.” Huo Zhixiao said, “I just want to kiss.”
The way he said this was like a kid doodling on a textbook. When you asked him why he drew Pikachu, he said it was nothing, he just wanted to draw it.
There was no reason at all, but it just made people feel that it fits his style.
After returning to the hotel room, Ding Yinan took out his mobile phone and entered a question in the search bar: What does it mean when your boss kisses you?
The titles of the webpages that pop up are highly consistent: Sexual harassment in the workplace, it is recommended to call the police.
That’s not right.
Ding Yinan suddenly realized that since returning to the room, he had been thinking about the inexplicable kiss just now, which was not the way a victim of sexual harassment in the workplace should think.
Forget it, Ding Yinan threw the phone aside irritably, Huo Zhixiao’s temperament was unpredictable, so why should he bother with it.
The next day, the two were going to inspect the construction site. Since the general construction plan had been determined the day before, today’s itinerary was very loose.
The small-scale landslide at the entrance of Sanyang Village had been reinforced to prevent similar incidents from happening in the future. The children in the village were on summer vacation, and many of them were helping out in the farmland.
Ding Yinan and Huo Zhixiao walked slowly towards the hillside with San Baisui on their hands. When they passed by a small farmyard, they ran into the little boy they had chatted with before.
The little boy was fanning cards the size of playing cards on the concrete floor at the entrance of the small courtyard. When he took a closer look, the cards contained various monsters from “Yu-Gi-Oh.”
Genuine Yu-Gi-Oh cards were very expensive, and Ding Yinan knew at a glance that the little boy was holding pirated cards, just like the ones he played when he was a child.
However, the prince next to him was obviously the first time he had seen a pirated version of Yu-Gi-Oh!
“What?” the little boy asked, looking up.
Ding Yinan had never seen such a disrespectful adult like Huo Zhixiao, he pulled Huo Zhixiao behind him, and said to the little boy, “Why are you playing alone?”
“They’ve all gone to the fields.” The little boy pouted in the direction of the farmland, “Our family’s land has been harvested.”
“I’m very good at this,” Ding Yinan squatted down next to the little boy, “Want to play with brother?”
“Okay.” The little boy’s eyes immediately became sparkling. He distributed half of the cards to Ding Yinan.
He took a card from Ding Yinan’s hand, and said eloquently, “The attack effect of this card must match the trapping card…”
Ding Yinan swished back the card, glanced at Huo Zhixiao with a little disgust, and said, “It’s not what you play.”

“What kind of game is this?” Huo Zhixiao asked beside him.
This was a game called fanning cards, and whoever could flip a card over will get that card. In other words, no matter what the content of the card was, it had nothing to do with the game itself. Although Yu-Gi-Oh cards had more high-end and more interesting gameplay, the happiness of rural children was as simple as that.
“This is too untechnical.” Huo Zhixiao tied San Baisui to the gate of the courtyard, returned to Ding Yinan and said, “Let me try.”
The fan card game was indeed simple, but it was not completely without technical content. In addition to the proper palm style, you also need to observe the angle of the card, it was best to use ingenuity.
After more than ten rounds, the thick stack of cards in Huo Zhixiao’s hand was reduced to less than ten cards, and even the little boy couldn’t help laughing and said: “Uncle, you are such a good fodder.”
“Uncle…?” Huo Zhixiao frowned, his resentment for losing to the little boy was written all over his face.
Ding Yinan thought it was funny, but at the same time couldn’t bear it. Huo Zhixiao played this game for the first time, and it was normal that he didn’t get the point. Besides, he watched his boss being “bullied” by others, so there was no reason to stand idly by.
“Don’t use brute force.” Ding Yinan stopped Huo Zhixiao, tapped lightly next to the target card, and the card immediately turned over, “Did you see it? We’re going to find the gap between the card and the ground, and let the wind blow away from it.”
Huo Zhixiao comprehended very quickly. His palm was stronger than that of the little boy. After mastering the trick, he won all the cards back in a short while, and even won all the cards in the little boy’s hand.
“You two adults bullied me.” The little boy pouted.
“Strength has nothing to do with age, you know?” Huo Zhixiao said mercilessly, “Who is the fodder?”
Ding Yinan couldn’t help but poked Huo Zhixiao with his elbow. This man led the army to play, and he was ashamed to show off if he won. He touched the little boy’s head and said, “Brother will buy you popsicles.”
“Okay!” The little boy immediately forgot the unhappiness just now, “Brother is definitely a good person, while this uncle is really thick-skinned.”
“Who is your uncle?” Veins appeared on Huo Zhixiao’s forehead.
“Let’s ignore him.” Ding Yinan took the little boy’s hand and walked towards the small shop in the village.
The commissary and the hillside were on different roads, Ding Yinan turned around and pointed to Huo Zhixiao in the direction of the hillside, and mouthed: You go first.
“Ding Yinan,” Huo Zhixiao said with a dark face from behind, “Can’t he walk? You insist on holding him.”
The canteen in the village didn’t have many things, so Ding Yinan bought a popsicle for the little boy and a few bags of snacks for him.
The two walked back holding hands, chatting casually.
“Brother, do you usually play with that uncle?” the little boy asked.
“That’s right.” Ding Yinan said, “But he’s not an uncle, he’s a big brother.”
“Oh.” The little boy was obviously reluctant to say that.
“Big brother is actually not a bad person.” Ding Yinan said, “Look at him, he even built a beautiful library for you.”
The little boy’s eyes lit up suddenly, and he asked, “Will the library be very beautiful?”
“Of course.” Ding Yinan said, “Big Brother is very powerful and has won many awards, you have to trust him.”
“Um!”
The two parted at the gate of the small courtyard. The little boy waved to Ding Yinan and said, “Brother, remember to come and play with me when you are free.”
Ding Yinan replied “Yes”, and then continued to walk towards the hillside.
At this time, there should be no construction team on the construction site on the hillside, but what Ding Yinan didn’t expect was that Huo Zhixiao was not here.
He called Huo Zhixiao, but the voice prompt was temporarily unavailable. He couldn’t help feeling strange. The two of them came to inspect the construction site. If Huo Zhixiao wasn’t on the construction site, where else could he be?
In the next second, Ding Yinan had the answer in his heart.
He came to the bamboo forest behind the hillside and wandered around, and soon saw San Baisui tied to the bamboo and Huo Zhixiao squatting among a pile of bamboo leaves.
“Take it.” Ding Yinan handed the frozen drink bought at the canteen to Huo Zhixiao, but Huo Zhixiao just lazily raised his eyelids to take a look, and then buried his head in the matter in hand.
Ding Yinan unscrewed the bottle cap patiently, handed it to Huo Zhixiao, and called out, “Master Huo.”
This time Huo Zhixiao took the drink and took a sip, but still looked at Ding Yinan with a bad expression and said: “You still remember me as the boss.”
Ding Yinan couldn’t help feeling amused, and said, “Why are you fussing over a child?”
Huo Zhixiao frowned and said, “This is already the second time.”
“Okay.” Ding Yinan subconsciously lowered his voice, “If you’re not happy, then I won’t be like this next time.”
“En.” Huo Zhixiao handed the drink bottle to Ding Yinan, and the expression on his face eased a lot.
“By the way, what are you doing?”
Ding Yinan quickly noticed a pile of things at Huo Zhixiao’s feet, all of which were patterns woven from bamboo pieces. The front and back of the bamboo slices were inconsistent in color, dark green and light yellow respectively. Forward and reverse weaving weave a variety of regular graphics.
“Can you see what this is?” Huo Zhixiao asked, pointing at a thread pattern with his chin.
Of course Ding Yinan recognized it, it was the Fibonacci spiral, also known as the “Golden Spiral”. There were many golden spiral patterns in nature, which were considered to be the most natural classic golden ratio.
It was not easy to draw this line, you need to use the Fibonacci sequence. In other words, it was impossible for Huo Zhixiao to make up this figure casually, he must have carefully calculated it in his heart, and then applied it to these bamboo pieces.
But the problem was that Huo Zhixiao only learned how to weave bamboo chips yesterday.
If Ding Yinan didn’t know this very clearly, he might even think that Huo Zhixiao is a bamboo weaving artist.
——Perhaps Huo Zhixiao should really resign.
This idea suddenly popped up in Ding Yinan’s heart.
His imagination and creativity were really amazing, but these years, those imagination and creativity was completely silenced.
The last time Ding Yinan stayed at Huo Zhixiao’s house for one night, when he got up early and saw the rainbow in the courtyard of the community, he felt very far away. It was obviously Huo Zhixiao’s work, but it felt unreal, as if he wasn’t the one who created the rainbow.
But now, the golden spiral in front of him overlapped with the gorgeous rainbow, and Ding Yinan suddenly felt that maybe Huo Zhixiao really shouldn’t waste his talent like this.
“Can’t you see?” Huo Zhixiao asked again, interrupting Ding Yinan’s thoughts.
“Golden spiral.” Ding Yinan responded.
“It’s quite interesting.” Huo Zhixiao said, “I always thought that only high-end materials can create beauty.”
“But beauty is everywhere.”
“Well, like you.”
“Me?” Ding Yinan was slightly taken aback.
“Although you are not too tall, your shoulders are a bit narrow, and your lips are slightly thinner, you still look good overall.”
Ding Yinan: “…”
Are these words praising him or belittling him?
Huo Zhixiao said again: “And your waist-to-hip ratio…”
“Okay.” Ding Yinan frowned uncomfortably, “I know that in your heart I’m just a crooked.”
