Hello, How Long Has This Been Going On? - Chapter 76
At the end of August, the weather finally ushered in a hint of autumn coolness.
The weeping banyan tree stretches its leaves on the small round table on the balcony, which is still rich in green.
On Friday afternoon, a regular sharing session of One Tree Game.
After Tao Zhiyue listened to the first half of the week’s work summary and next week’s outlook, he prepared to say goodbye to his colleagues and set off for the airport ahead of schedule.
“Have a good weekend and see you next week!”
“See you next week.”
Guan Yudong is unique: “Tao Tao, are you finally going to the southern hemisphere to see snow? Actually, I think it’s more fun to go to Antarctica to see penguins.”
“Penguin, fat penguin, so cute, remember to take more photos—”
“Wake up, I just went to Yanping for two days.” Tao Zhiyue ruthlessly broke his fantasy, “There is no snow or penguins, only sugar pancakes.”
“Ah, ah, don’t mention these three words, I’m hungry!”
“Will Yanping’s sugar pancakes be more delicious? Damn it, I’m so greedy, is there anyone going to catch the moon this weekend!”
“Appointment! After the appointment, it’s black!”
Xiao Huang stood in front of the projector that no one was paying attention to, impotent and furious, “What are you talking about, listen carefully!”
“I know, I know, you found a new coffee machine, but we really want to hear something else, such as sharing what was going through your mind when your parents named you…”
“Hahahahahaha, don’t say that taboo name!”
In the cheerful atmosphere of his colleagues as usual, Tao Zhiyue left the company with a smile, took a taxi and took the airport bus.
When he went to Yanping last time, he carried a bag, which contained the gift he gave Huo Ran.
This time, he was empty-handed, because Huo Ran didn’t need to bring anything.
Going to Huo Ran’s real home, his heart was full of anticipation and nervousness.
Although he has seen Huo Ran’s banknote ability in many places, Tao Zhiyue has not seen the mansion of the legendary top rich man, and he is full of curiosity about it.
When he arrived at the airport, Tao Zhi saw the very eye-catching bright yellow suitcase from a distance.
Huo Sihan sat on his suitcase and looked around with Huo Ran who was standing beside him. The sharp-eyed Huo Sihan saw him first and waved to him happily.
Both siblings were wearing sunglasses, and Huo Sihan even added a hat to arm himself well.
When Tao Zhiyue came to the front, she graciously handed over a glasses bag: “Brother Zhizhi, put it on!”
Tao Zhiyue put on the sunglasses as he said, and Huo Sihan nodded with satisfaction: “Very well, my two bodyguards are all here, and we are going to the security checkpoint!”
Huo Ran complained: “Stop dreaming, you look more like my assistant carrying my luggage.”
“No way, no way, if your real assistant sees you wearing a suitcase of this color, won’t your image be ruined?”
“Or are you implying that you like such a girly color?”
“…”
Tao Zhiyue was overjoyed: “Give up, you can’t say Sihan.”
Huo Ran refused to give up: “I’ll let her take a round first.”
“After getting off the plane, do you go home directly?” Tao Zhiyue asked a little nervously, “Is your father at home?”
“Don’t be nervous. He’s on a business trip and won’t be back until tomorrow.”
“Should I prepare some gifts?” Tao Zhi was lost in thought, “Although your house must have everything, it doesn’t seem good to come home empty-handed.”
“No, it’s the best gift if I have someone.”
While speaking, Huo Ran glanced at Huo Sihan very casually: “Is that right?”
Huo Sihan’s fist hardened: “I told you, can you change to a new meme!”
Huo Ran smiled politely: “No, classics will last forever.”
Passed through the security check through a special channel, and handed over the luggage to a special person to check in. The three of them had no interest in sitting in the VIP lounge and playing with their mobile phones in a daze, so they simply wandered around.
Huo Sihan walked back and forth in the duty-free shop, while Tao Zhiyue and Huo Ran looked at the runway outside the transparent glass window, betting on which plane would take off first.
A few meters away, a man wearing a peaked cap looked here thoughtfully, with a camera beside him.
On the screen of his mobile phone, new messages are constantly popping up.
[A: Haven’t squatted yet? It is estimated that the itinerary was really changed temporarily. ]
[A: Forget it, withdraw if you don’t expect it, don’t waste time. ]
The peaked cap cuts out the chat history interface, opens the browser, and enters a person’s name.
He glanced at the picture that popped up from the search results, compared it with the person wearing sunglasses not far away, and immediately smiled.
[struggle! : Yes, a windfall. ]
[struggle! : Aniseed, wait. ]
He raised his camera, took a few shots first, and then held his breath, waiting for more exciting pictures.
A moment later, the girl who was traveling with her came out of the duty-free shop and stopped at the entrance of the shop. Huo Ran and another man finished their private conversation and walked over. Soon, there seemed to be a fierce dispute between the three.
It’s now.
The excited peaked cap pressed the shutter one after another, trying to capture their expressions at the moment as much as possible, and fantasized about the generous offer this time in their minds.
Huo Sihan always felt as if someone was watching him.
She turned her head and found nothing, but exchanged glances with a handsome young man passing by.
She looked away embarrassedly, and punched her hateful brother a lot in her heart.
Walking out of the duty-free shop, there was a cute doll standing at the door, with a pleasant smile, almost as tall as her eyes.
Although the store’s new autumn products are ugly, this joint doll is quite beautiful.
Huo Sihan thought so, and was immediately distracted. He took out his phone and prepared to take some photos.
When she was looking for an angle, a familiar gentle voice came from above her head.
“Do you want to take a photo with you?”
In the take-off bet just now, Tao Zhiyue won, and happened to see Huo Sihan taking pictures again, so he came over to help in a good mood.
“Okay, okay, let me think about a pose.”
Huo Sihan handed him the phone, and was about to take a step forward to the doll when he heard Huo Ran’s voice stopping him.
“Don’t move, keep this formation, I’ll call someone over and take pictures of three, no, four of us.”
Huo Sihan used his eyes to convey the feeling of caring for the mentally retarded: “What are you talking about? What formation?”
Huo Ran was serious: “Look, starting from the dolls, the four of us stand in a straight line. Does this height difference look like an arithmetic sequence?”
The height of the doll reached Huo Sihan’s eyes, Huo Sihan’s height reached Tao Zhiyue’s shoulders, Tao Zhiyue’s height reached Huo Ran’s eyes.
Three people plus a doll, just standing in a straight line, the height gradually rises.
One, two, three.
Tao Zhiyue reacted for a few seconds, couldn’t hold back, and laughed out loud.
What kind of magical brain circuit is this?
However, he feels that the arithmetic sequence is not very rigorous.
Tao Zhiyue exerted his scientific spirit of seeking truth and being pragmatic: “According to the actual gap, the two ends are slow and the middle is steep. I think it is more like the left half of the normal distribution curve.”
Huo Ran imagined for a while: “It makes sense, you are still smart. In fact, it is very similar to nesting dolls in a row. Suppose there are six in a set, then remove the third and fourth. The gap is very similar It’s…”
Before he finished speaking, Huo Sihan couldn’t bear it any longer and went up to beat him.
“Huo! Burn! You! Shut up! Mouth!”
“Why, your Zhizhi brother also said, why did you hit me?”
“I don’t care, who told you to start! Stupid!”
“Haha, little matryoshka.”
“You are the only nesting doll! Your whole family is nesting dolls!”
“Did it ever occur to you… that you belong to my whole family?”
Until he sat down on the plane, Tao Zhi laughed until his stomach still hurt.
Huo Sihan sat on the other side of the aisle, took off his hat aggressively and threw it aside, he was so angry that he accidentally laughed.
Huo Ran who was beside him saw him covering his tired stomach, leaned over and whispered: “I think your waist and abdomen strength is still not good enough, next time do a hundred more abdominal crunches.”
Tao Zhiyue responded sensitively to the itchy flesh on his waist: “You should also go for more massages.”
Huo Sihan was unwilling to be lonely, and secretly glanced at them: “What are you whispering again?”
“It’s nothing, little doll.”
“!! You are still here!”
Huo Ran didn’t change his face, and stopped her urge to get up and beat someone in time: “Fasten your seat belt, look, isn’t the stewardess in front your favorite type?”
Huo Sihan followed the reputation, and immediately sat upright obediently under the gentle smile of the ideal flight attendant. When she took the blanket from the other party, she was still a little blushing.
Tao Zhiyue looked very surprised: “Does Sihan like all good-looking people?”
“Yes.” Huo Ran’s low voice rang in his ears, “For example, you.”
So now someone was blushing with Huo Sihan.
The plane passes through the clouds, the blue sky contains the afterglow of the setting sun, the world below is small and far away, and the sea of clouds is close at hand.
Landing in Yanping was at 7:00 pm, just dark.
When the plane finished taxiing, the passengers on the plane couldn’t wait to turn on their mobile phones, lined up to get off the plane, and walked across the corridor bridge surrounded by night.
After Tao Zhiyue turned it on, he glanced at the screen and was stunned.
Huo Ran and Huo Sihan next to them also reacted in the same way, staring at the phone screen, the expression changed from surprise to doubt.
[It’s an official, not a croak: ah ah ah Tao Tao you are on the hot search! But you are still on the plane, you should not receive any news. ]
[It’s an official, not a croak: This outrageous title really made me faint from laughter many times hahahaha, Mr. Rong laughed so hard that he would laugh off the leaves! ]
[It’s an official, not a croak: Although I can’t see the face clearly! But that girl is so cute! Visually, it is 1.6 meters long with shoulder-length hair! Do you have dimples? ]
[It’s an official, not a croak: And, can you tell me what the **** you were doing at that time, I have a funny hunch hahahahaha (‘ヮ)σ]
After glancing at the mountain of unread messages, Tao Zhiyue opened his scarf in a daze, and soon saw the rather sensational headline.
#Huo’s heirs fight at the airport to fight with jealousy#
With the rich protagonist and the eye-catching plot, Tao Zhiyue first got goosebumps all over his body.
Click on this popular tag, and at the top is the gossip account’s bib that broke the news, describing the whole thing in a very explosive tone.
[The heir of the Huo family, Huo Ran, whose identity was disclosed not long ago, appeared at Jinbei Airport today, and fought with the National People’s Congress in public, suspected to be his girlfriend. The girlfriend was depressed by herself at first, while Huo Ran was arguing with a strange man, and then the three of them emotionally pushed each other…]
The pictures are well-founded, and they took pictures of Huo Sihan strolling in the duty-free shop, Tao Zhiyue and Huo Ran looking at the runway and betting on planes.
The focus was on the three-person melee, and several photos of Huo Sihan stretching out his hand to scratch Huo Ran were put on. Another story.
This ability to create something out of nothing in front of pictures can be said to be very powerful.
Tao Zhi was dumbfounded.
He wanted to say something, but the gossip was so outrageous that he didn’t know where to start.
After a moment of silence, he chose a unique entry point: “The term Huo’s heir seems strange.”
“It’s very strange. According to my father’s current state, he can work for at least another twenty years.”
Huo Ran, who had calmed down, read the news with his hair down, and said casually: “Twenty years later, maybe the matryoshka will become a generation of business geniuses, and I can just eat the dividends every day.”
Huo Sihan didn’t have time to refute this funny nickname this time, she was staring at the photo of three people and one doll taken by the paparazzi, her mind was in a trance.
“From a bystander’s point of view, this formation really seems…Damn, why did we stand so aligned?!”
Tao Zhiyue thought about it rationally: “Also, if we tell the content of our chat at that time, I think most people may still choose to believe this outrageous news.”
Huo Ran couldn’t help laughing: “Don’t worry about it, I will take care of it.”
Aside from the astonishment, Tao Zhiyue didn’t worry too much. Huo Sihan’s news has been well protected by Huo Zhendong. Today he is very well armed, only one chin can be seen, so there is no need to worry about his image being exposed.
And he has sunglasses as a cover anyway, and he is not a celebrity artist. Even if he is really picked up by a netizen with great powers, it doesn’t seem to have much impact.
What’s more, based on previous experience, these inexplicable rumors and gossip probably won’t last long before they will disappear completely.
Tao Zhiyue recovered from the shock, and sent a unified reply to the melon-eating colleagues in the friend list: thoughtful and failed little penguin.jpg
To Guan Yudong, who is particularly keen, he honestly told the truth.
[Tao: You may not believe it, but we were discussing the left end curve of the normal distribution. ]
[Is it an official, not a croak:? ? ! …]
[It’s an official, not a croak: How did this outrageous gossip suddenly become believable. ]
[Tao: Maomao giggles.jpg]
After Tao Zhiyue laughed, he didn’t take this incident to heart.
However, before these fake news were deleted, he saved a lot of photos on the scarf. After all, it is a group photo with such a magical composition, which is worth keeping as a souvenir.
The light outside the glass window was flickering, and he turned his head to look at it, full of thoughts.
Walking through the covered bridge here again, the mood is completely different.
That day, Huo Ran watched him set sail and return to his own city. Today, they walked side by side to the same place.
Huo Ran finally finished processing, heaved a sigh of relief, put away his phone, and smiled at him: “Let’s go, go home.”
The street trees are beginning to take on the colors of early autumn, a warm burnt yellow.
As Tao Zhiyue expected, an hour later, all kinds of gossip that became more and more exaggerated disappeared, replaced by several letters from lawyers sent by the Huo family.
There is also a scarf that quickly rushed to the real-time hotspot.
It seems to be a newly registered account, and the profile picture is still the default gray villain, with a striking yellow V hanging on the lower right.
Attached to this scarf is the group photo of three people and one doll that has been spread everywhere, and the accompanying text is simple and straightforward.
[Huo Ran V: Doll, my sister, my boyfriend, me. ]
