Strangely, Ding Yinan actually clicked on the screen recording to check.
Most of Huo Zhixiao’s WeChat friends were project clients, and 80% of them were known to Ding Yinan. For example, the material dealer surnamed Zheng thought that Huo Zhixiao didn’t understand the market and his quotation was inflated, and Huo Zhixiao never cooperated with him again. Another example was the contractor surnamed Huang, who questioned Huo Zhixiao’s design and structural mechanics, and was slapped in the face after the project was completed.
In addition to people at work, there are also Huo Zhixiao’s relatives, classmates and friends among the more than a thousand WeChat friends. Ding Yinan didn’t know all of them, but from top to bottom, there was indeed no remark of “surname + bar” in Huo Zhixiao’s mouth.
Ding Yinan knows how flirtatious Huo Zhixiao was before. So when he could completely delete the contact information of his bed partner, means that there was no need to say anymore.
The screen recording playback ended, and the screen jumped back to the very beginning.
Ding Yinan accidentally pressed the play button again.
Huo Zhixiao’s interpersonal relationship was also divided into two parts: work and life, and now the two parts suddenly lost their dividing line, forming a whole before Ding Yinan’s eyes, presenting a more three-dimensional Huo Zhixiao.
Peeking into a person’s relationships was both stimulating and subtle.
Ding Yinan still knew Huo Zhixiao well, but looking at the strange names that appeared from time to time, he still felt curious whether Huo Zhixiao had another side that he didn’t know.
A familiar profile picture suddenly slid out from the bottom of the screen, and Ding Yinan hurriedly pressed the pause button.
Just now, his attention was all on looking for the bar, and he didn’t even think about seeing how Huo Zhixiao changed his remarks.
According to what Huo Zhixiao usually called him, his note should be “Secretary Ding”. But next to the familiar head portrait was a strange appellation.
“Nannan.”
Ding Yinan read out the two words on the screen with a little flustered.
He still remembered that when they first picked up San Baisui, Huo Zhixiao couldn’t even pronounce his full name, so this remark must have been re-edited by Huo Zhixiao.
Sure enough, something was different.
Among Ding Yinan’s principles, one very important one was that work and life must be separated. Before that, Huo Zhixiao and work were equated, but now, Huo Zhixiao has invaded his private life forcefully.
The boundary between work and life had become blurred, and even Ding Yinan himself was not sure where he should divide Huo Zhixiao.
This was indeed a headache.
The next morning, Ding Yinan made a hearty breakfast.
He didn’t play “Aria of the Queen of the Night” in the living room, because both of them asked for leave today and didn’t have to go to the office to work.
It was rare for Huo Zhixiao not to stay in bed, and came to the kitchen yawning, lazily hugged the busy Ding Yinan from behind and said, “I caught you.”
The “race” last night had already been won and lost, and it didn’t make much sense to be arrested now. Ding Yinan pushed Huo Zhixiao with his elbow, and said, “Go wash up first.”
The dining table was full of Huo Zhixiao’s favorite western style breakfast, but Ding Yinan’s usual pasta was not there.
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Huo Zhixiao came back from washing, opened the chair and sat down: “You also eat sandwiches?”

“Qts ufa erfv ab la?” Leb Itlzljb jrxfv.
“Ofjgclcu ab ufa erfv ab sbeg ajraf.” Glcu Tlcjc rjlv, “Mgbw cbk bc, kf klii bcis mbbx bcf xlcv bo ygfjxojra ab rjnf agbeyif.”
Ktfgf kjr j iba bo lcobgwjalbc lc atlr rfcafcmf, jcv Glcu Tlcjc vlvc’a fzqfma Leb Itlzljb ab ecvfgrajcv la.
But Huo Zhixiao just thought for a moment, then bent the corner of his eyes and asked: “Then do I have to get used to your taste?”
“It’s good to know each other’s taste.” Ding Yinan said casually, “We will eat Western food one day and Chinese food the other day.”
Huo Zhixiao didn’t answer any more, but everyone could tell that he was in a good mood.
After a while, he still didn’t seem to believe that Ding Yinan was willing to get along with him, so he put down the orange juice in his hand, looked at Ding Yinan and asked, “Have you finished checking my WeChat friends?”
“The inspection is already over.” Ding Yinan said.
“How was it?”
“It’s good.”
Now Huo Zhixiao couldn’t hide the smile in his eyes.
Ding Yinan didn’t give Huo Zhixiao a chance to talk nonsense, and asked, “Have you considered resigning?”
“Resign?” Huo Zhixiao was startled, he probably didn’t expect the topic to come so suddenly, he lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, then asked Ding Yinan, “Will you be with me?”
“Won’t.”
This was the result of Ding Yinan’s careful thinking.
Adults must pay for their own impulses, and Ding Yinan did not want to make imprudent decisions. What was more, the current relationship between him and Huo Zhixiao was not enough to make him abandon everything regardless of the consequences.
“Then I won’t quit.” Huo Zhixiao said, “I don’t want to leave you.”
Ding Yinan fell silent, he suddenly felt that he might be a little impatient, this matter was not so easy to solve. He exhaled and said to Huo Zhixiao, “Eat quickly.”
Huo Zhixiao suddenly called out: “Nannan.”
“Hm?”
Ding Yinan was thinking about other things in his heart, and almost subconsciously answered the title.
Huo Zhixiao raised the corners of his lips slightly, and said again: “Wife.”
“Huo Zhixiao.” Ding Yinan frowned uncomfortably, “Don’t push yourself.”
Huo Zhixiao drew the construction drawings very quickly, but he couldn’t keep delaying.
When he came back from Sanyang Village yesterday, he did handwork for most of the day, and he should finish his job today no matter what.
In comparison, Ding Yinan was much more relaxed. After making coffee for Huo Zhixiao, he nestled on the sofa and read a book, but after a while, he received a WeChat message from Huo Zhixiao.
【Huo Zhixiao: My eyes are so sour】
Ding Yinan took a steam eye mask and went to study, he casually glanced at Huo Zhixiao’s computer screen, how dare this person draw a few pipes after working for a long time?
“Isn’t your progress a bit slow?” Ding Yinan couldn’t help asking.
“Do you want to be a supervisor?” Huo Zhixiao patted his thigh, “You can sit here.”
Ding Yinan: “…”
He didn’t know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that Huo Zhixiao seemed to have reached a new level of coquettishness.
Ding Yinan went back to the living room, but within half an hour, he received another message from Huo Zhixiao.
【Huo Zhixiao: The coffee is gone】
【Ding Yinan: One cup a day】
【Huo Zhixiao: [poor] [poor]】
Ding Yinan looked at the screen like an old man in the subway looking at his mobile phone. Did Huo Zhixiao use WeChat’s built-in emoji?
WeChat’s built-in emoji was a very mysterious thing, and had formed a unique culture. For example, the meaning of a smile becomes sarcasm, and the function of laughing through tears becomes alleviating embarrassment.
And Huo Zhixiao’s pitiful use, no matter how Ding Yinan looked at it, he seemed to be acting like a baby, which made him not know how to reply.
He first entered a [coffee] in the dialog box, trying to pretend to pass a cup of coffee to Huo Zhixiao.
But he always felt that it was too rustic, so he deleted the coffee emoji and entered a [leisurely] to express the meaning that he would not let you drink.
Wait.
Ding Yinan suddenly realized how he was being led by the nose by Huo Zhixiao, like a mentally retarded person, he quickly deleted the dialog box and threw the phone aside.
After a while, the phone vibrated again.
【Huo Zhixiao: Your hands are so tired, rub them for me】
【Ding Yinan: If you do this again, I will go home for vacation!】
Sure enough, work and life shouldn’t be mixed together, Ding Yinan thought angrily, ruthless capitalists will only do their best to squeeze the surplus value of employees.
Huo Zhixiao finally calmed down and honestly drew pictures all morning.
After lunch, Ding Yinan played fighting games with Huo Zhixiao for a while. He was not good at this kind of console games, and was tortured by Huo Zhixiao to the point where he had no skin.
Seeing that the time finally came, he put down the handle with relief, and said to Huo Zhixiao, “You can go to work now.”
“I’ll practice with you again.” Huo Zhixiao said solemnly, “I can’t allow you to be this bad.”
Ding Yinan raised his eyebrows and asked, “Why, do you want me to grab the controller?”
Huo Zhixiao was obviously excited, looked at Ding Yinan in a serious manner and said, “You can try.”
The two exchanged eye contact for a second, and Ding Yinan rushed towards Huo Zhixiao unexpectedly, who knew that Huo Zhixiao didn’t talk about martial arts, so he threw the handle directly on the single sofa beside him, letting Ding Yinan pounce on Huo Zhixiao.
Before Ding Yinan could stop his momentum, Huo Zhixiao pulled him into his arms. The two looked at each other up and down, and even the air became ambiguous.
Huo Zhixiao’s body had a pleasant aloe fragrance, and after being heated by the scalding body temperature, it seemed to be more intoxicating than the smell of wine.
Ding Yinan’s adam’s apple slipped, and he said slowly: “You should go back to work.”
Huo Zhixiao asked: “Is work that important?”
“Well, it’s very important.”
Ding Yinan’s thoughts were very realistic. As an independent social person, the premise must be that he could guarantee his own food and clothing. He didn’t reject Huo Zhixiao’s invasion of his life, but he didn’t want their work to be adversely affected.
“I’ll finish the construction drawings as soon as possible.” Huo Zhixiao said, “Shall we go on a date tomorrow weekend?”
“A date?”
Most of Ding Yinan’s foot injury had healed, and it was not a problem to go out for a walk. But tomorrow he had other arrangements, and when he thought of the person who arranged him, he felt guilty for no reason.
“Tomorrow night, I have to go to the alumni association with President Huo.” Ding Yinan said.
“Alumni Association?”
As soon as Huo Xun was mentioned, Huo Zhixiao’s tone immediately turned cold.
“President Huo and I were alumni.” Ding Yinan guessed that Huo Zhixiao would not know about such a thing, “He recruited me in the first place.”
Huo Zhixiao was silent for a moment, and said: “Then let’s date during the day, and I will take you there at night.”
“This…” Ding Yinan hesitated, “It’s not very good.”
Ding Yinan was willing to try to develop with Huo Zhixiao, but when he thought that the date was over and he still had to see the big Buddha, he inexplicably felt conflicted.
If Huo Zhixiao sent him to the alumni association and was accidentally bumped into by Huo Xun, that would be the real death scene, because he couldn’t explain why Huo Zhixiao came to be his driver at all.
“Okay.” Huo Zhixiao stood up, his expression obviously not very happy, “I’m going to work.”
