Chapter 15Determination to take a step

As usual, Yu Ningze walked down the aisle leading to the R&D department after finishing his leisurely lunch with a glass of iced Americano. But today is different. There seemed to be a familiar voice coming from the corner ahead, causing him to stop reflexively. To be on the safe side, he turned around and hid in the tea room, with his back to the door, lowering his head and pretending to be concentrating on scrolling through his phone. By chance, he saw a message from Xia Tian: "What type of girls do you like?" Xia Tian: "I can help you introduce them, hahahaha." He subconsciously sent a string of ellipses, not knowing how to answer her words. How did the topic get to where it is now? Oh, Chinese Valentine's Day. A festival that carries serious romantic overtones in both the real and virtual worlds can always make people unconsciously associate it with love. Long-term uninterrupted chatting will indeed give people an illusion of intimacy, and the home system in koi will strengthen this bond. The game has only been online for two months, but many netizens have already officially announced their separation on social platforms, bringing a new wave of popularity to the already popular app. From the perspective of being a R&D director, it is indeed a very good virtuous cycle. But as a human being with seven emotions and six desires, Yu Ningze can no longer look at this matter coldly. This netizen named Xia Tian obviously has an idea of ​​being more than a friend. Yu Ningze gently kicked the water dispenser next to him. The originally calm water surface rippled, but it returned to calm after an instant. But he felt complicated. Xia Tian was certainly right. She downloaded an app that focused on social networking. Whether she wanted to make friends with whom she could chat or fall in love, these were very reasonable needs for a user. But what does he want to gain from this virtual kingdom built by himself? To be honest, he couldn't articulate the answer. Every time he wanted to look down and see clearly the reality hidden under the extremely dark haze deep inside his heart, he couldn't help but move his eyes away. Does he want friends? But he couldn't cope with Ye Jing, a bad friend who was always looking for trouble. Does he want to be in love? But why would he want to fall in love? He is very busy at work and has hobbies and interests that are enough to fill his free time. Logically speaking, he is not lonely and does not need to spend effort to establish deep relationships with strangers. Knowing the other person's preferences and revealing all your secrets in front of the other person is very troublesome, isn't it? But is he really not lonely? Turning around, Yu Ningze vaguely saw Ye Xi and Fu Sheng talking and laughing, walking side by side towards the operations department. As a result, he walked towards Ye Jing's office before he could say goodbye to Xia Tian. Chaotic thoughts were entangled in his mind, squeezing every nerve. He opened the door of Ye Jing's office fiercely and walked in angrily. Ye Jing seemed to be busy in the video conference. He raised his hand to signal Yu Ningze to stop talking. Yu Ningze had no choice but to sit alone on the sofa, looking down at the toes of his shoes, trying to sort out the intertwined story lines that he didn't know where to start. After about ten minutes, Ye Jing's meeting ended, and at this moment, Yu Ningze also lost his temper. He glanced at Ye Jing who was walking next to him, and asked coldly: "You asked Ye Xi to come here again?" Ye Jing seemed to have ended a long and difficult battle, and collapsed on the sofa with relief. His voice was hoarse: "What do you mean? Ye Xi just came here for an internship. Isn't it like this every year?" Yu Ningze sighed. As a student in the Department of Philosophy, Ye Xi's fact that he comes to Halo for internship every summer is an established fact that is no longer news to everyone in the company. But she still had to come to the R&D department where Yu Ningze worked. Perhaps for Ye Jing's sake, at first, Yu Ningze would give her some simple tasks, such as doing Excel or copying documents, but gradually, he discovered that Ye Xi's drunkard's intention was not to drink. Whether it was lunch or dinner, she followed closely behind her like a follower. Even working overtime could not dampen her enthusiasm that came from nowhere. On several occasions, Ye Jing even accused the R&D department of working too much overtime and hoped that they could arrange their time reasonably and improve work efficiency. It's more like a spy planted by Ye Jing. Yu Ningze glanced at Ye Jing and said, "Can't we let her go to other companies for internships? Make her like a related household." After hearing this, Ye Jing suddenly became energetic, stopped and stared at Yu Ning Ze, "Are you pretending to be stupid? Why do you think Ye Xifei wants to come to our company for an internship?" Before Yu Ningze could explain, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, I know the requirements of your R&D department. "Gao, I asked her to do an internship in the operations department this time. Are you satisfied?" Operations Department... Yu Ningze recalled the scene he just saw and thought of Fu Sheng's rather arrogant attitude toward Ye Xi. He looked like he was biting his lower lip unconsciously. Ye Jing added: "The operations department has been quite busy recently, right? Chinese Valentine's Day is coming soon, and with the new linkage, Ye Xi can go over and help." Yu Ningze could only smile bitterly. I hope it doesn't cause any trouble. Ye Jing yawned and opened her eyes just in time to see Yu Ningze's bitter and resentful expression. She couldn't help but ask, "That's why you came in so aggressively just now?" It's no exaggeration to say that, then For a moment, Ye Jing thought that Yu Ningze finally couldn't stand his behavior and was planning to revolt. However, there is no doubt that he has always had a high level of patience. Otherwise, why would he let Ye Xi wander around like a fly and not be willing to say a harsh word? Yu Ningze finally said after a long silence: "What do you think of koi?" "It's pretty good." Ye Jing was a little confused about this question. If you felt bad, you wouldn't have approved this project in the first place, right? Didn't he ask knowingly? Yu Ningze paused and spoke slowly: "According to incomplete statistics, in the two months since koi was launched, 3,595 users have found love partners..." "Stop, stop, stop." Ye Jing frowned. He frowned and couldn't help but raise his hand to interrupt his speech: "Are you reporting to me now?" Yu Ningze quickly ran his brain and then came to a conclusion: "No." Ye Jing was even more confused. : "Then why are you telling me this?" Ye Jing choked back the words that Yu Ningze had already spoken. He looked at the clear eyes staring at him and hesitated on how to speak. "I have a question." Perhaps he felt that he still couldn't figure it out even if he thought about it for three days and three nights with his own brain. He finally asked: "If a user downloads koi and likes the matched user, finally What would this user think if she found out that the other person was not dating her for the purpose of love?Ye Jing almost blurted out: "Isn't this a scumbag?" "No, everyone uses the software for different purposes. When koi was first announced, didn't it also emphasize the game attributes..." Too many explanations tend to make things darker. Yu Ningze only felt that The pain in her temples was severe. Looking at Yu Ningze who was so abnormal in front of her, Ye Jing suddenly thought of something and stood up, pointing at him and opening her mouth. Are you still playing koi? "Genius, Yu Ningze thinks Ye Jing is simply a genius. The more Ye Jing talks, the more excited she is, and she is about to lie on top of Yu Ningze, "No, Yu Ningze, it's okay for you to seduce a little girl in real life, why are you here in koi? Will Li also remain stubborn? "Yu Ningze's brows furrowed even deeper. Why did he act like a playboy when he obviously didn't do anything? He sighed: "I was just having normal interactions with her out of politeness. Ye Jing put her face in front of Yu Ningze's eyes and asked, "Have you ever greeted her?" " If good morning, good afternoon, and good night can be considered greetings... Yu Ningze nodded. Ye Jing asked again: "Have you ever given her a gift? "Yu Ningze thought of the five-star fish sent out to express goodwill, and nodded again. "Do you have any news right away? " This time, before Yu Ningze could answer, Ye Jing made her own conclusion: "The scumbag didn't run away. "In the first twenty-six years of Yu Ningze's life, he kept himself as pure as jade, kept himself clean, and never had unnecessary physical contact with the opposite sex. However, today he is defined as a scumbag. He has been wronged but has nowhere to appeal. Ye Jing After teasing Yu Ningze for a while, I was in a good mood. I sat back on the sofa and looked at Yu Ningze with my feet raised, "Online dating is also good. I have done a good deed by adding a nice story to our app. "The next second, he stared at Yu Ningze as if he had thought of something: "But you are not allowed to tell Ye Xi about this. If she finds out that you used koi to find your partner, she will have to kill me. " Yu Ningze's hand has never come down from his forehead, and he has never felt that the feeling of headache can be so concrete. In his world, finding a partner is magical, and online dating is even more magical. Combined with At the same time, I didn't know where to sigh. In short, it was a headache. Ye Jing looked at his distressed look and kindly acted as a "confidant sister" and asked: "I really don't understand. Why on earth don't you fall in love? Is there any hidden illness? "Yu Ningze raised her eyes and gave him a sharp look, and spoke one word between her teeth: "Get out. "Why on earth is that?" If I had your looks, I would wish to change my partner every day. "Ye Jing said this lightly, but Yu Ningze knew that he was just being modest. In terms of appearance, he did not compare to Ningze. Although he had a flamboyant personality and was always at the forefront of fashion trends. , so that he always catches the eye like a peacock, but he is still a handsome guy anyway. Yu Ningze couldn't help but complain: "Don't you have enough partners now? " He passed by Ye Jing's house a few days ago and was going to say hello. After knocking on the door, he found another unfamiliar face. Ye Jing said that this time it was true love, but his true love was like the one in the bubble economy era. Banknotes are generally worthless. Ye Jing smiled and disagreed: "So, you just try it once, and it's not too late to make a conclusion after you try it. "Although Ye Jing is not a serious person and has a really frivolous attitude towards relationships, this sentence seems to be correct. Yu Ningze always feels that there is an invisible stone pressing on his shoulders, and he seems to be being held back. Sun Wukong was trapped under Wuzhi Mountain and was generally unable to move. He was not sure what was holding him back, the not-so-good memories from his childhood? Or the silent spread that lasted for more than twenty years? With koi, he created this world full of love, so he thought that maybe he was not as resistant to falling in love and establishing a connection with strangers that even he could not imagine. Rejecting Xia Tian? The answer he gave was no. Although she was just a pink figure made of pixels in front of him, she was real. She would be troubled by what to eat for lunch, and also by her mother. He complained about the blind date he had arranged. Her happiness and pain were so concrete and undisguised in front of Yu Ningze. He couldn't help but become curious and wanted to know more about her story. It is in the virtual world.
