It was office time.
Liu Sanlang glanced at the cute selfie on QQ, pressed Win + L to lock the system, and went to the coffee machine to pour himself a cup of coffee. The free coffee provided by the company was not delicious, but at least it was refreshing, which was very helpful for him, who worked with code all day long.
After pouring the coffee, he was about to go back to his seat to see if she had replied. He turned around and noticed that Ye Yu, the new intern, was playing with his phone again. Another female intern, Beifeng, was watching him.
Liu Sanlang frowned with dissatisfaction. He coughed in a low voice, hoping to get their attention. They would stop playing with their phones. If their boss came to see them, they might not be able to stay in the company anymore.
Unfortunately, the more Ye Yu played with his phone, the more excited he became. His two thumbs were tapping on the screen like crazy. No one knew what he was playing. Beifeng was also excitedly pointing at his phone. He didn't even hear Liu Sanlang's cough.
Liu Sanlang looked around and made sure there was no sign of the boss. He walked over and knocked on Ye Yu's desk with his knuckles. "Hey, what are you doing? You are not allowed to play games in the company! "
Ye Yu was startled. His phone slipped and fell to the ground. Beifeng stuck out her tongue and quickly ran away.
Liu Sanlang's heart skipped a beat. Could they be a so-called office couple? Ye Yu, you bastard! How dare you eat the grass next to a rabbit's nest?
"I'm sorry, sir. I won't do it again!" Ye Yu didn't even bother to pick up his phone. He stood up and apologized with his head down.
"Luckily, I saw it. If the boss saw it, you can imagine what would have happened," Liu Sanlang said sincerely, acting like a senior.
He and Ye Yu graduated from the same university, so Ye Yu had been calling him "sir" ever since he started his internship. Liu Sanlang liked it very much, so Ye Yu would give him advice from time to time, including this time.
"I'm so sorry. Thank you, sir!" Ye Yu nodded and bowed. "I promise I won't do it again!"
"Good. You know." Liu Sanlang bent down to pick up his phone from the ground. "You are too focused. It is dangerous."
The phone did not show the game. Instead, the screen was full of pictures of dogs. Liu Sanlang had seen these dogs in his neighborhood. They were called Schnauzers, and they looked like white-bearded grandfathers.
"What are you doing? Selling dogs as a part-time job? "he asked, puzzled.
"No, how could I …" Ye Yu looked around in embarrassment and said in a low voice, "Senior, I'm only telling you. Don't spread it around. I'm using the dog to pick up girls … "
"Huh?" Liu Sanlang opened his mouth wide. His hands shook and half of the coffee spilled out.
"To tell you the truth, I've been single for 23 years. I'm desperate to get rid of my single life, so I came up with this plan." Ye Yu was even more embarrassed. He blushed and said, "If I don't get rid of my single life, I'll become a leftover man."
"Wait. Tell me clearly. What is going on?" Liu Sanlang asked impatiently.
Ye Yu was stunned. "Senior, must you say it now? What if the boss comes? "
"The boss is nothing! Tell me! "
"Uh … alright."
Liu Sanlang changed his attitude so fast that Ye Yu was confused. He thought for a moment and said, "Senior, you know that many girls like small animals, right? Kittens and puppies. I went to the pet shop to buy a puppy. That's what I was planning. I'll post pictures of the puppy on the Internet to attract fans, and I'll use this to get closer to girls. I can also increase the chance of meeting girls by walking the dog …
"Did it work?" Liu Sanlang asked.
"Well … about that …" Ye Yu was hesitating.
"Tell me!"
"To tell you the truth, the plan to walk the dog has failed. After I bought the dog, I realized that the people walking the dog are all old men, old women, and middle-aged people. There are not many girls walking the dog … I have almost become the friend of the middle-aged women in the community!" Ye Yu said dejectedly.
"…"
"However, I asked around. In fact, many girls have dogs. They just don't like the hassle, so they let their parents or grandparents walk the dog," Ye Yu cheered up and said, "Also, nowadays, it's popular to have cats and dogs on the internet. Do you know that?"
"Cats and dogs on the internet?" Liu Sanlang seemed to have heard of these two terms before, but he didn't pay much attention to them.
"Yes. Many people are busy with work and don't have time to have cats and dogs. Therefore, they drool over other people's cats and dogs on the internet, imagining that they are their own cats and dogs," Ye Yu explained.
"So? Did you use the dog to get a girl or not? "Liu Sanlang was getting impatient.
"There is hope. That's all I can say." Ye Yu looked at Bei Feng's back sneakily. "Why do you care? You have a girlfriend, don't you? "
Liu Sanlang said vaguely, "Well, I do …"
He turned around in a daze, took two steps, and then turned back and said, "You're not allowed to play with your phone anymore! If you want to get a girl, go home! If the boss sees you, don't blame me for not warning you. "
"I understand!" Ye Yu promised.
Liu Sanlang returned to his seat with his half-spilled coffee. He entered the password to unlock the system and looked at the cute selfie in his QQ profile. The name under it was Shi Shi.
In the morning, he sent a message to Shi Shi carefully, "Shi Shi, is your computer okay? I haven't asked you since I reinstalled the system for you. If you have any problems, feel free to contact me. "
He and Shi Shi worked in the same company, but they were not in the same department. It was rare for them to see each other, and even if they did, they didn't talk much. Shi Shi was always with Zhao Qi and a few other close friends. She would only think of Liu Sanlang when her computer was broken.
Liu Sanlang had thought about it before. Maybe he was really a jerk. She was not interested in him, so why did he try to please her? However, every time he saw her cute smile, he would break down again.
Beep beep!
Shi Shi's profile picture flashed.
Liu Sanlang clicked on her profile picture with the speed that he had learned from being single for many years. Then he stared at the dialog box like a traveler in the desert seeing an oasis. He didn't even think about it.
Shi Shi: "No problem."
It was just three simple words. It seemed like saying another word would be a waste of time.
Liu Sanlang was lost in thought. Did she mean the computer was okay, or did she mean, "No problem, I will contact you if I need anything?"
He hoped it was the latter.
If only her words could be expressed with a simple 0 and 1, that would be great.
Right! He clicked on the picture that Shi Shi had just updated. There was a message and a selfie with a peace sign. "So annoying. Another friend has become a cat slave! Can't we have fun together?
So cute! " He looked at her pouting face and was lost in thought.
He carefully sent another message, "Shi Shi, do you hate cats?"
He thought he would have to wait for a few hours, but she replied almost instantly. "I hate cats! All my friends have been taken away by cats! "
He sent another message, "Do you hate dogs?"
This time, after a while, Shi Shi replied, "I don't hate dogs if they are cute."
He sent another message, "Do you have a dog?"
Shi Shi: "No. It's troublesome to have a cat or a dog."
Liu Sanlang remembered the "Cloud Cat and Cloud Dog" he just mentioned. He immediately scrolled down his contact list and found Ye Yu's online ID, Great Chieftain of Thunder Bluff. He sent a message, "Where did you buy your dog? My … My friend wants to learn how to get girls from you. "
"My friend, my neighbor, my colleague, my classmate … This series is really versatile."
