Hello, How Long Has This Been Going On?

After Tao Zhiyue replied, five minutes passed before Guan Yudong commented on a carefully selected emoji.

Simple pictures and simple accompanying text are enough to show his magnificent heart.

[Is it an official or not? Reply to Tao: Why can't I control my hand.jpg]

[It's an official, not a croak, replying to Tao: Damn it, **** it, I have carefully evaluated this photo and there is absolutely nothing to show it! ! ]

[Xiao Huang Xiao Huang replied that it was an official, not a croak: Hahahahahaha thank you, once again sacrificing yourself to please us. ]

Tao Zhiyue looked at the bickering colleagues on the screen and smiled happily, while Huo Ran who was on the side also watched the same conversation.

"Speaking of which, what is Xiao Huang's real name? I haven't given him a note yet."

"His name is..." Tao Zhiyue paused, "Forget it, it's better not to note his name, just pretend that his name is Xiao Huang."

Huo Ran was very surprised: "Why?"

"I won't tell you."

"Forbidden not to tell me."

"Ban ban don't tell me... no, no nesting dolls."

"Are you changing the subject?"

"No."

The two had lunch at a restaurant near the community. During the whole meal, Huo Ran, who was eager for knowledge, kept trying to guess Xiao Huang's name using the exhaustive method.

"Oriole? Yellow Emperor? Twilight? Gold? Coptis?"

Tao Zhiyue endured the pain with a smile.

It has to be said that Huo Ran's thoughts are really upright.

In a certain room more than ten kilometers away, classmate Xiao Huang, who was slumped on a chair and stared at the computer screen, sneezed countless times.

In his heart, he made a strong note of classmate Guan Yudong.

On the screen in front of me, the automatic quarrel program is running passionately.

In the PP chat dialog box between him and Guan Yudong, the messages quickly swiped the screen. He was using the automatic quarrel program, and Guan Yudong was also using it.

The two machines greeted each other cordially and friendlyly, and Xiao Huang felt relieved and naive at the same time.

After the keyword detection results in the sentences on both sides gradually converged, the two machines actually began to repeat indefinitely.

Shocked for a moment, the human Xiao Huang and the human Quack sent out messages at the same time.

[Xiao Huang Xiao Huang: Grass, it's a bug! ! ]

[Stupid colleague: The program made by Tao Tao has a bug! ! ]

[Xiao Huang Xiao Huang: Haha! ]

[Stupid colleague: Hahahahahaha! ]

[Xiao Huang Xiao Huang: But I did it in a hurry that day. I didn't consider that someone would be so bored and use two programs to argue. It's normal. Let's optimize it. ]

[Stupid colleague: Yes, I support it. ]

[Stupid colleague: Before that, I want to use a classic reserved link to end our cordial and friendly communication~]

Xiao Huang had a very familiar bad feeling.

A long string of rolling characters was already lying in the input box, and he was about to click send, but he still couldn't beat Guagua's hand speed.

Guagua sent a lot of emoticons accumulated over a long period of time, and there was only one core meme.

— Let’s have some yellow pictures.

— (Xiao Huang's ugly photo)

—? Want real yellow pictures.

— (The ugly photo of Xiao Huang being adjusted to yellow)

Xiao Huang's fist hardened.

He stared at a lot of emoticons of lonely and widowed frogs in the favorites, and felt that it was imperative to create an automatic picture-fighting program.

On the other side, Huo Ran fell into a brief silence as he looked at the expression pack Tao Zhiyue showed him.

After a while, he concluded: "It turns out that Xiao Huang's name is Huang Tu... It's an angle I didn't expect. Next time, I will definitely think about it."

"This kind of expression pack also looks very interesting. I want to learn how to do it. What is this called? A meme?"

Tao Zhi laughed so tiredly: "Don't summarize this kind of thing in such a serious tone."

"But you had a good laugh, so I think there is a need to sum up and learn."

Tao Zhi was stunned for a moment, feeling as if someone poked softly in his heart.

Surrounded by a bustling vegetable market, the air is filled with the smell of vegetables and meat, which is a very real breath of life.

He thought that Huo Ran, who wanted to learn how to make emoticons for him now, should also feel this kind of breath.

"What else do you want to eat besides stewed beef at night? The beef may not have enough time to taste, so make something else."

"Tomato fish? It's the kind we ate in the old house last time."

"Okay, but only tomato fish, not including other things in the kitchen that day."

"...I didn't think about other things." Huo Ran didn't have three hundred taels of silver here. "The kitchen is very big now, and I can do some serious things beside me, such as performing knife skills."

Tao Zhiyue was very cooperative: "Then I'll buy you two carrots to play with. You can follow your father's example and carve them into small tomatoes."

The confidence that Huo Ran is familiar with is back.

"Shipping into **** is too easy, not challenging."

As he said that, he immediately turned on his phone and searched for dishes that test knife skills, "Cucumber in coir raincoat... this one looks more difficult, I'm going to make this."

He was inspired by the homonym, "Cucumber! If you put two coir raincoats on Xiao Huang and Gua Gua together, they will also be Huang Gua in coir raincoats. Does that count?"

Huo Ran raised his head and saw that Tao Zhiyue had brought a large handful of cucumbers at some point.

"Forget it, your learning ability is still as strong as ever, so I believe you will be able to make a successful cucumber."

"...Then why do you take so much?" Huo Ran was dubious, "I think you don't seem to trust me very much."

Tao Zhiyue's face was full of sincerity: "No, it's dry in autumn, you should eat more cucumbers to replenish water."

"Do I need to eat as many as ten sticks?"

"Just in case, anyway, if it's cut up, it can be served cold, and it can even be squeezed into cucumber juice. You can learn without worry."

"..."

That night, Huo Ran, who vowed to prove his talent in cooking, still suffered a tragic defeat in Waterloo.

When he cut the fifth cucumber, he felt a sore neck under the gaze of several plates of cucumber corpses next to him.

"The neck is so sore, are they cursing me?"

Tao Zhiyue had just finished marinating the fish fillets, washed his hands, and rubbed the back of his neck while suppressing a smile.

"Would you like to get the sixth one for you?"

"…never mind."

Huo Ran stared at the pile of cucumber slices in pain, and reluctantly put down the kitchen knife.

"I don't think I can finish eating tonight."

Today's dinner: tomato fish, cucumber egg soup, cucumber shredded pancakes, cucumber salad, cucumber juice.

Tao Zhiyue couldn't help sighing: "I learned a lot of new dishes today."

Huo Ran pretended to be calm and stretched out his chopsticks: "I have never eaten so many cucumbers at the same time."

However, the cut cucumbers are still not used up.

Huo Sihan, who was thousands of miles away, had just finished dinner and was walking in his garden admiring the flowers when he received a message from his brother who had been silent recently.

[Brother No. 1: Can cucumber slices be used as a facial mask? ]

[Why is it still not raining: Yes! Just apply it directly to the face. Although it is not very useful, it is mainly for psychological comfort. ]

[Why isn't it raining ah ah ah: what's the matter? Have you started researching skin care now? ]

[Brother No. 1: Nothing, just ask. ]

Huo Sihan suddenly felt blessed.

[Why isn't it raining ah ah ah: You can't cut too many cucumbers and can't use them up? Are you learning some new knife technique? ]

[Brother No. 1:…]

[Brother No. 1: Is there really such a thing as telepathy between brothers and sisters? Looks like you really didn't pick it up from the trash. ]

It seems that Huo Ran hasn't teased her like this for a long time.

Huo Sihan rarely used a rather warm angle of retaliation.

[Why isn't it raining ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh: Maybe we both picked it up from the same trash can. ]

[Brother No. 1: Hahahaha, idiot. ]

Then Huo Ran sent her a photo, which showed a table of dishes, with bright red tomato fish in the middle, surrounded by all cucumbers, very eye-protecting.

[Brother No. 1: Learning how to make coir raincoat cucumbers failed. ]

While Huo Sihan laughed, he originally wanted to ask what he was doing in the past month, why he seemed so quiet.

But after thinking about it, she didn't ask, and took a photo of the dahlia still blooming around her, and sent it to Huo Ran.

[Why is it still not raining: I am different. Last week, a new variety was transplanted, and it grows very well. ]

[Why isn’t it raining ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah brother Zhizhi who has worked so hard to deal with a lot of cucumbers too! ]

[Brother No. 1: It looks great! ]

[Brother No. 1: Little Penguin Stickers.jpg]

[Brother No. 1: It’s not me, we’re going to make a mask/bye]

[Why isn’t it raining ah ah ah: must you emphasize us/smile]

[Brother No. 1: must/cute]

After the meal, the dining table and the kitchen were cleaned up and cleanliness was restored.

On the coffee table in the living room was a porcelain plate with light blue juice remaining.

Tao Zhiyue and Huo Ran leaned on the sofa in unison, staring at the large-screen TV that was playing a movie in front of them.

The cucumber slices on the face brought a refreshing and cooling touch, and Tao Zhiyu, who was making a mask for the first time, found it very novel.

It's just that they seem to have chosen the wrong film.

Seeing the funny expression of the protagonist in the movie, Tao Zhi wanted to laugh more, the corners of his mouth just raised a little, and the cucumber slices on his cheeks began to fall down.

He quickly reached out to help, and held down the slippery cucumber slice. The uneven force caused the cucumber slice on the other side to slide down slowly.

In a hurry, Tao Zhiyue glanced at Huo Ran next to him, and found that he was picking up cucumber slices from his collarbone and sticking them back to his face as if nothing had happened.

Tao Zhiyue stopped laughing immediately, and the cucumber slices fell into an avalanche.

"Aren't we supposed to watch comedies?"

"I think so too." Huo Ran tugged at his collar, "My neckline is already completely wet."

"Then what is better to see?"

"Science fiction, the kind of subject matter related to time and space, I want to open up my mind."

Tao Zhiyue looked at him in surprise, but found that his expression was very serious.

So he turned off the comedy and re-selected a movie.

Watching sci-fi movies won't make you laugh, perhaps because of the strong presence of cucumbers on your face, and it doesn't have the slightly complicated and heavy atmosphere that Tao Zhiyue expected.

The protagonist in the movie wakes up on the same day again and again, and Huo Ran is watching and chatting with him.

"Within half a year, I don't want to eat cucumbers anymore, not even cucumber-flavored potato chips."

"Me too."

"What if there are five cucumbers in the refrigerator?"

"I'll take it to the company the day after tomorrow and give it to Xiao Huang and Quack."

"Okay, don't tell them about the coir raincoat and cucumber, I'll make the emoji first."

"Hahahaha, you still remember this." Tao Zhiyue was caught off guard for a moment, annoyed, "...it fell down again."

"Shouldn't the bevel be made bigger?"

"No, I can't do it, my waist is about to break."

"So you need to exercise more."

"Stop using this set, it's been on for a long time, and I'm going to wash it off."

"I am coming too."

Tao Zhiyue pressed the pause button casually, and the TV screen in the living room was still on the bewildered and lonely figure of the protagonist in the movie.

There was the sound of splashing water in the sink.

Tao Zhiyue, whose cheeks were finally free, asked curiously: "When you watch this movie, don't you feel...unhappy?"

"No." Huo Ran shook his head, "I know he will be able to leave this cycle, fall in love with the heroine, and let himself grow."

"The movie has a great ending at the end, so I figured I would too."

Tao Zhiyue looked at his calm expression, and his heart, which had been hanging in the air for a long time, seemed to be able to finally come down.

"Will do."

The marble countertop is icy cold, and the splashed transparent water wets the warm skin and light cloth, and the bright mirror surface is gradually covered by a tall figure.

"Actually, it's fine now."
