9 min read2,361 words

Zhuang Yanyu quickly entered Uncle Liu’s yard with the killed chicken.

Uncle Liu’s family was busy with work, Zhuang Yanyu’s eyes searched around like a detector, but he didn’t see anyone other than Uncle Liu’s family.

“Xiao Yu¹, you are back?” Uncle Liu had sharp eyes, saw him immediately and hurriedly greeted him.

“En, Uncle Liu.” Zhuang Yanyu pursed his lips and asked, “Is the guest… not here?”

Uncle Liu smiled and said, “Those bosses went fishing at the Qiantou River.”

In his heart, Uncle Liu only thought that Zhuang Yanyu was curious and chatted with him in a good mood, saying that one of the three bosses came here once before. He was very generous, spent a lot of money and loved their local chicken because it was more fragrant than those in other places and this time he even brought his friends here.

“My son said that the cars they drive cost at least a few million dollars as starting price, and that they are all big bosses, but they don’t put on airs at all and are easy to talk to.”

Zhuang Yanyu thought, that’s for sure, his brother² was of course good.

Uncle Liu: “They should stay here for a long time. They said they want to eat the fish they caught at night, and let us cook it. Our fish is also delicious.”

Zhuang Yanyu heard that Wen Chenxi and the others didn’t leave so fast, was not worried anymore, listened quietly and helped Uncle Liu.

Uncle Liu soon discovered that whenever he needed scissors, Zhuang Yanyu handed them over before he even asked. When he needed to wash and use water, Zhuang Yanyu had already brought the water over.

If it’s people who have lived together for a long time, it’s okay to be so familiar with each other’s words and deeds.

However, Uncle Liu was actually very unfamiliar with Zhuang Yanyu. He only knew that Lao Zhuang had a son, but he had never seen him.

In the past two months, they only saw each other once or twice.

Uncle Liu said in amazement: “Xiao Yu, you are like a roundworm in my stomach, you know everything I want!”

Zhuang Yanyu said: “Behavioral calculations.”

Uncle Liu was at a loss: “What is that?”

Zhuang Yanyu was about to explain, when he heard someone in the kitchen call Uncle Liu to steam chicken and Uncle Liu did not care about Zhuang Yanyu anymore, he just nodded at him Zhuang Yanyu before going in.

Once Uncle Liu left, Zhuang Yanyu had no excuse to stay at the Liu house. He turned and went out, walking very slowly this time.

According to the footsteps taken by normal people, one step was about 50 to 70 centimeters, last time he calculated an average value, and the distance between his steps was stuck at 60 centimeters, with the time for one step 0.8 seconds. If he now slows down the distance and time to 50CMX1.5, then the time and distance to go home can be extended…

Nevertheless, no matter how much it was extended, coming back home which was only a little more than ten meters away would not take long.

Zhuang Yanyu then turned around and walked towards the river ahead.

The sun was already very hot even before noon, especially in the southern weather. If one stands outside, he would be sweating profusely in no time.

Fortunately, this place was surrounded by mountains and rivers, and full of trees, so whenever a gust of wind blew, one could feel the cool of summer.

On the bank of the river, the three big bosses whose time was extremely precious on weekdays and who are particularly difficult to make an appointment with were sitting leisurely on outdoor chairs fishing.

It was said that nine out of ten men love fishing.

Wen Chenxi’s friends were no exception.

“The place I chose is not bad, right?” Ji Zhiyuan said proudly, “When Lao Zhou brought me here last time, I was thinking that I must bring you here again.”

“The fish here are fat.” While talking, Li Xi caught another lively fish, “We can have a whole fish feast tonight.”

Among the three, only Wen Chenxi was left without catching a single fish.

Wen Chenxi was not in a hurry, he put the fishing rod aside, picked up the laptop on the stool next to him, and read the latest email from Assistant Lin.

The email contained Zhuang Yanyu’s personal information.

One night was enough for Wen Chenxi to memorize Zhuang Yanyu’s materials by heart, but he still couldn’t help but open it up and take a look.

Li Xi: “Lao Wen, you promised not to bring your work out, why did you pick up the computer again!”

Wen Chenxi said casually, “Look at a document.”

Ji Zhiyuan murmured: “I need to read many documents now, but I still turned off the mobile phone I use for work, just because I don’t want people to disturb our rare gathering, today is my birthday!”

Wen Chenxi’s voice didn’t fluctuate: “Well, it’s just a leap year³, after today and another three June⁴, there will be a second one and then a third one.”

Wen Chenxi was used to it.

Even if it was not a leap year, Ji Zhiyuan’s birthday in the new lunar calendar had to be celebrated.

Li Xi laughed and said: “That’s not the case, the next birthday will not be so easy, even if there will be no banquet, Uncle and Aunt will not allow him to come out. Also, Lao Wen, you are the busiest all the time, so it is rare for us to come out .”

The two sang together in harmony to accuse Wen Chenxi, only to find that Wen Chenxi was still looking at his laptop after speaking.

To be precise, Wen Chenxi was staring at Zhuang Yanyu’s ID photo.

The ID photo was very high-quality. On the young and handsome face, there was no pore to be seen. The bright eyes were like the lighthouse on the coastline, and the radiant light could be felt from a distance.

Even though this ID photo had been seen dozens of times, Wen Chenxi still had a fresh feeling to it and appreciates it quietly.

Was he fishing or watching Yú⁵?

Suddenly realizing that them all seemed to be ‘Yú’, Wen Chenxi slightly hooked the corner of his lower lip.

The friends saw Wen Chenxi staring at the screen without blinking, and were speechless: “Seriously, you workaholic, only good friends like us can bear it. If it’s really someone else, when you are supposed to go on a date, and are still working, who can stand it? I feel that you, Lao Wen, will absolutely stay alone for the rest of your life. ”

Li Xi smiled and said: “Let’s not talk about the issue of being alone or not, is it not more difficult to make his cycad tree bloom? Over the years, have you ever seen him fall in love with anyone? He is just an old cycad tree, how can it bloom any flowers?”

Ji Zhiyuan thought about it: “That’s true. So, Lao Wen, what kind of people do you like? There are so many handsome men and women in my company. Although not all of them are excellent enough that they can be at the top of the entertainment industry, they are definitely good looking. I’ll send some photos back later, for you to pick, and see if there are any that fit your eyes?”

Wen Chenxi saved the ID photo on the computer, and was not at all interested in Ji Zhiyuan’s suggestion: “No need, not interested.”

Wen Chenxi was about to put away the computer when he caught a glimpse of a somewhat familiar figure out of the corner of his eye.

The person who had been lying⁶ on his computer screen just now, had appeared in his line of sight. Wen Chenxi turned his head to look, and it was indeed the Zhuang Yanyu he was looking at just now.

Wen Chenxi raised his eyebrows: Was it a coincidence?

On the side, Zhuang Yanyu lowered his head, calculating his position and angle.

The human’s viewing angle was limited, so it was different from the viewing angle he had when he was a system before. The system’s viewing angle could be 360-degree panorama, with the maximum angle of a human’s monocular viewing angle being more than 150 degrees, the horizontal viewing angle of two eyes could also be up to 188 degrees. The coincident backsight was about only 124 degrees. In other words, only within the 124-degree field of view could the objects seen by human eyes have a three-dimensional effect.

Of course, this excludes all eye problems such as myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism.

However, Wen Chenxi wore glasses, so this problem could be ruled out.

In Zhuang Yanyu’s eyes, there seemed to be a fan-shaped area. This fan-shaped diagram took the direction Wen Chenxi was facing as the frontal plane, and the 124-degree field of vision of Wen Chenxi’s frontal plane was 45 degrees from his current angle.

That was to say, as long as he walked forward and turned another 45-degrees, within Wen Chenxi’s field of vision, a three-dimensional self would appear instead of a flat figure.

Zhuang Yanyu took a step, and there was still 20 degrees left.

He lowered his head, kept his eyes fixed, increased the distance between his steps, and took another step, -5 degrees.

He(WCX) should be able to see him(ZYY).

Sure enough, the next moment, Wen Chenxi’s voice sounded—

“Zhuang Yanyu?”

Zhuang Yanyu raised his head, pretending to be surprised, his eyes falling on Wen Chenxi, showing the human expression he had studied hard, and wondered: “Mr. Wen?”

Zhuang Yanyu walked over in a logical manner, and asked politely: “Mr. Wen, why are you here?”

But Zhuang Yanyu soon realized another problem: how did his brother know his name?

The last time they met was on the elevator.

But this doubt was quickly abandoned by Zhuang Yanyu. This was the brother assigned by the boss in the previous life. It was normal to progress faster, and he was worried that the progress was not enough that he needed to get to know him again.

Wen Chenxi pushed up his glasses to block his slightly sharp eyes under the rimless glasses: “I’m here to play with my friends, why are you here?”

Zhuang Yanyu smiled at him: “My home is here.”

In Wen Chenxi’s mind, he quickly recalled Zhuang Yanyu’s profile that he just read.

Yes, his(ZYY) hometown address seemed to be here.

Ji Zhiyuan and Li Xi looked over curiously: “Old Wen, this is…”

Wen Chenxi said concisely: “Employee of my company, Zhuang Yanyu.”

Zhuang Yanyu was also very polite: “Hello everyone.”

He sighed quietly in his heart, he should be the one to enjoy fishing with his good brother.

“It’s such a coincidence that we have met, come and sit down, Xiao Zhuang.” Ji Zhiyuan greeted Zhuang Yanyu warmly: “You look very young. If you can make Lao Wen remember you, you must be a powerful technical talent, right? You are really young and promising!”

Zhuang Yanyu said politely: “No, my department is in charge of ‘service’.”

“Ah, the service department.”

Ji Zhiyuan and the two looked at each other in a subtle mood. The employees at the headquarters of Weilan Technology Company alone had thousands of people, and one who would let Wen Chenxi take the initiative to say hello would be a high-end technical talent. After all, in a technology company, technology was the most important thing, but they didn’t expect it to be not the case.

This was a bit intriguing.

The two of them looked at Wen Chenxi meaningfully.

Wen Chenxi ignored their gazes, took the fishing rod in his hand to Zhuang Yanyu, and asked: “Can you fish?”

Zhuang Yanyu was flattered, the kind of intense feeling when a person whose friendship progress bar was originally only 0%, suddenly had a surge in progress, reaching 50%.

In martial arts novels, this was the feeling of receiving too much internal force at once…

Zhuang Yanyu: “I haven’t fished before, but I should be able to.”

Wen Chenxi: “Should be able to?”

Zhuang Yanyu: “Throwing the pole, raising the pole, pressing the water line, one also needs to correctly deal with overweight feed and counterfeit water…”

Wen Chenxi saw Zhuang Yanyu’s seriousness, as if he was reciting a fishing guide on the Internet. Wen Chenxi raised his eyebrows slightly and said, “Try it.”

Wen Chenxi said before he took back most of the eaten bait, hung it with new feed, and threw it out for Zhuang Yanyu.

Seeing that his brother had prepared everything for him and that he only had to be responsible for fishing, Zhuang Yanyu felt a emotion swelling in his body and said “Okay” with his eyes wide open.

As expected, he(WCX) was the most compatible with his personality, and his brother was really close to him!

The author has something to say:

PS——

Scheming Xiao Zhuang: Finally met my good brother! Well chosen! They were indeed destined to be good brothers!

Wen Chenxi: I like him even more when looking closer, heartbeat +100%

¹-小瑜, a nickname for Zhuang Yanyu.

²-Wen Chenxi.

³- 闰年, leap year means a year that occurs once every four years, which has 366 days; with 29 February as an intercalary day.

⁴- 三个六月, three June is not third of June but 3 Junes; 3 years.

⁵- 瑜 (from Zhuang Yanyu) and 鱼 (fish) have the same pinyin <yú> and is used as an word play here.

⁶- it was literally written like that? IDK but it feels a bit weird…

Even as the translator, I’m confused at Xiao Yu’s mathematical sense. (^-^|||)
