Chapter 41 41
"This article is almost done, but I'm still not sure about some professional vocabulary." Bai Ran moved his fingers that had been numb from typing on the keyboard for a while, and said to Jiang Chao.
The entire office was very quiet, and there was a regular knocking sound from the wall clock on the wall.
Bai Ran looked at his watch, only to realize that it was almost ten o'clock in the evening, except for Jiang Chao's office, there was no one in the workshop outside, only the night lights were dimly on.
"Where?" Jiang Chao pushed away the chair and walked behind Bai Ran.
It seems to be due to the atmosphere of the night, Jiang Chao's bass is cold and warm in such an environment.
"This CMOS, I checked, is the abbreviation of ComplementaryMetalOxideSemiconductor, but I still don't know exactly how to translate it." Bai Ran pointed to the words marked in red by him in the document.
"CMOS." Jiang Chao lowered his head and put his hands on his keyboard to help him type the translation into the document.
This posture made Bai Ran dare not move.
Jiang Chao is tall, bent over and lowered his head, put his hands on Bairan's side, almost holding him in his arms, Bairan could hear his heartbeat, and Jiang Chao's shallow breathing from above his head .
"Where else?" Jiang Chao held his mouse and slid down the scroll wheel.
"This?" His cursor rested on the next word marked in red.
"CLK, ClockCycle, clock cycle."
"CPGA, CeramicPinGridArray, Ceramic Pin Grid Array."
Jiang Chao turned the pages while reading, and then helped Bai Ran type the translation into the document.
He read the standard English pronunciation, and the distance between the two of them was too close, Bai Ran could feel the slight roll of his tongue when he pronounced it.
Subconsciously, the word sexy popped into his mind.
"There should be none." Jiang Chao browsed roughly, and there were no other words marked in red.
"Yeah." Bai Ran nodded hurriedly, and lightly knocked his head on Jiang Chao's chin.
Jiang Chao let out a low muffled groan, and Bai Ran's breathing became even more chaotic.
"I'm sorry, are you okay?" He looked up, wanting to see Jiang Chao's condition.
"Is that how children say thank you to me?"
Jiang Chao propped himself on the table with one hand, rubbed his chin that was hurt by the knock with the other, and looked down at Bai Ran.
The four eyes meet, Jiang Chao hides a smile in his eyes, Bai Ran can clearly see the two small selves in his eyes, he looks away in a panic.
Quiet night, dim light, ambiguous atmosphere surging, Jiang Chao's faint cold woody fragrance is very pervasive.
Bai Ran subconsciously wanted to escape.
Looking at Bai Ran's fluffy hair, he knew that he was shy, so Jiang Chao stopped teasing him, got up and patted Bai Ran's head lightly.
"It's late, I'll take you home."
"En." Bai Ran saved the document modified by Jiang Chao again, and followed Jiang Chao with his red ears on his ears.
On the drive home, neither of them spoke.
Bai Ran didn't know what to say, but Jiang Chao patiently waited for Bai Ran to speak.
"It's snowing." At the intersection, the green light turned red, and Jiang Chao stepped on the brakes, only then did Bai Ran realize that snowflakes had fallen in twos and threes outside the car window.
He leaned over in surprise to see that a thin layer had already fallen on the sidewalk beside the road.
"This is the first snow of the year."
The first snow in Jincheng in December.
"En." Jiang Chao looked at Bai Ran who was lying on the car window, he was obedient and clever, he restrained the urge to rub Bai Ran's head in the next second.
How can there be a child as good as him?
"Do you like snow days?" The red light turned green, and the two were on the road again.
"I like it." Bai Ran nodded.
"When I was young, the snow in Jincheng started to fall in November. At that time, the snow was so heavy that it could be covered with a thick layer in a few hours. My friends and I lay on it directly, surrounded by white snow. Yes, the sky is blue, it feels amazing."
Chuxue, who visited suddenly, opened up Bai Ran's chatterbox.
As he spoke, Jiang Chao listened patiently. The snow became heavier, and a warm and harmonious world was isolated in the car.
-------
Jiang Chao didn't drive into Bai Ran's community, but parked in the parking lot at the gate of the community.
The two walked side by side on the road, their steps were very slow, Bai Ran stepped on the snow with his head down, Jiang Chao's eyes fell on him.
"Go up." Jiang Chao sent him to the door of the unit.
She reached out to brush off the falling snow from Bai Ran's shoulders.
The street lights in the neighborhood were dim, and Jiang Chao exhaled white steam when he spoke, putting a thin layer of soft light filter on his face.
"Wait a minute, I'll come down right away."
Bai Ran watched the snowflakes fall on Jiang Chao's black hair, and then disappeared without a trace in the next second. The road from the unit gate to the gate of the community is neither long nor short, but it must be cold for him to walk by himself.
Thinking of this, Bai Ran hurriedly said something, then turned around and ran upstairs.
Two minutes later, he ran down again, his breathing became short of breath due to running, and he stuffed the thick gray scarf he was holding into Jiang Chao's arms.
"Bring it to you."
Just now Bai Ran entered the room, and now he rushed out again, the cold and heat alternated, and when the winter wind blew, he couldn't help shivering.
"Go in." Jiang Chao originally wanted to say something, but he was afraid that Bai Ran would catch a cold, so he aggressively pushed him into the unit door.
"Let's go." He waved to Bai Ran, wrapped the scarf around his neck, turned and walked into the vast night.
Through the transparent thick glass, Bai Ran watched his figure gradually shrink until he was out of sight, and then Bai Ran walked into the elevator room.
--------
When Bai Ran woke up the next day, his forehead throbbed with pain. He sniffed, as if he had a cold.
No way, last night he was hit by the cold wind. He sighed resignedly, dragged his sore body out of bed, and made a cup of cold medicine.
Holding the warm water glass, Bai Ran recovered a little.
Fortunately, it's the weekend, so I don't need to go to school, so I can rest at home.
Bai Ran opened the curtains, the heavy snow last night hadn't stopped, looking down from the eleventh floor, his eyes were all white.
Lu Xiaotong seemed to be counting the time, he just woke up and called in.
"Are there any plans for today?"
For students, weekends are a little liberation.
"It's snowing outside and I don't want to move, so I'll stay at home today." Bai Ran turned up the thermostat in the room by a few degrees.
"I knew you would say that."
"Lin Yi and I bought something and went to your place to have hot pot. I just saw the topic of 'the first hot pot meal in winter' on Weibo. Let's catch up with the trend."
"Besides, I haven't been to your house yet, so I've been curious for a long time."
Lu Xiaotong Gu's rhetoric followed another, and he was almost killed in the next second.
Bai Ran doesn't want to go out, and he's too tired of eating takeout every day. Thinking about eating hot hot pot in this weather makes him feel comfortable.
"I eat tomato soup base, I'm not good at spicy." Considering the faint sore throat, Bai Ran nodded in agreement.
"Okay, you eat tomatoes, we are spicy, go in the afternoon."
Lu Xiaotong was waiting for Bairan's words, and the list of ingredients in his hand had already been listed.
Bai Ran hung up the phone, and opened WeChat every day as usual, only to find that JC actually posted a circle of friends.
The copywriting is simple, thefirstsnow.
The accompanying picture is a snowy night.
The boss is also in Jincheng, so last night was also the first snow.
Bai Ran gave a thumbs up.
After a while, JC's WeChat message came over.
[JC: Wake up? 】
[Ran: Hmm~]
【Ran: Brother, is it snowing over there? 】
[JC: The first game last night. 】
【Ran: Pretty~(#^.^#)】
Jiang Chao looked at the facial expression sent by Bai Ran in the dialog box, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly involuntarily.
[JC: What are you doing today? 】
[JC: Will there be a live broadcast on Saturday night? 】
【Ran: Today I invited my classmates to come to my house for dinner, so I won't broadcast it. 】
[JC: Well, it’s fun]
[Ran: It's snowing and the temperature cools down quickly, brother, you should wear more clothes, don't catch a cold. 】
Bai Ran wrapped up the quilt tightly, took another sip of the medicine with a faint bitter taste, and exhorted.
Jiang Chao frowned slightly, thinking of how Bai Ran ran down yesterday, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.
[JC: Do you have a cold? 】
【Ran: I didn't pay attention last night. I have a bit of nasal congestion today. It's just a small problem. It should be fine after a rest. 】
"What are you looking at, with such a dignified expression?" Chen Yu walked into Jiang Chao's office, and saw him frowning, staring at the phone in a daze.
"Call Bai Ran and confirm the translation progress with him." Jiang Chao put down his phone and said to Chen Yu.
"Is there anything to confirm? He has already sent it to my email this morning. I checked it and it's not bad." Chen Yu was at a loss.
"If you want to hit you, hit it, so much nonsense." Jiang Chao's patience is not high for people other than Bai Ran.
Jiang Chao met Chen Yu as soon as he entered the school, and after two years of starting a business together, Chen Yu also knew his temper very well, and after thinking about it, he understood Jiang Chao's plan.
Don't you just want to care about Bai Ran? It's so awkward to make a phone call.
"If I don't fight, why don't you ask yourself?" Chen Yu's mind turned, and it was time to counter-squeeze the capitalists.
"If you want me to call, yes, the Japanese restaurant in the west of the city, two meals."
Chen Yu handed over the chips at the right time.
"Yeah." With Jiang Chao's consent, the treacherous smile on Chen Yu's face became even happier.
Bai Ran was a little surprised when he received Chen Yu's call.
"Senior Chen Yu?" Bai Ran cleared his throat.
Jiang Chao wasn't listening to what Chen Yu and Bai Ran said, but Jiang Chao could hear Bai Ran's hoarse voice and slight nasal sound clearly.
He already has a cold, and if he doesn't have a good rest, and his classmates go to make a fuss at night, how can the cold get better?
Jiang Chao's expression sank.
"It's nothing. I'll send you the materials I'm going to translate later." Chen Yu had never seen Jiang Chao with such a serious face. He found a topic to finish and hung up the phone.
"What's going on?" Chen Yu leaned against the door frame and looked at Jiang Chao.
"It's okay, I just want to make sure if he has a cold."
Jiang Chao didn't want to say more.
"No wonder I don't hear Xiaoran's voice right."
Chen Yu folded his hands on his chest, a sudden light flashed in his eyes.
He knew about Jiang Chao's sexual orientation, because the female colleagues in the studio once expressed their affection for Jiang Chao. The female colleagues were fair, beautiful and long-legged, and had a gentle and sensible personality. They were completely the type that men liked, but Jiang Chao Ushio was like an unconscious wooden man, unresponsive to the girl's attention.
In the end, it was Chen Yu who came forward and sent the girl away.
Chen Yu is a fine person, and after this incident, he had a rough guess in his heart, so he simply talked to Jiang Chao.
Jiang Chao didn't shy away from it at all, and directly told Chen Yu that he liked boys.
Even so, Jiang Chao has never expressed intimacy with any boy, except Bai Ran.
When Jiang Chao led Bai Ran into the studio that day, Chen Yu felt something was wrong.
There were obviously still vacant workstations, but Jiang Chao specially ordered a custom-made desk for his office, and set up a special workstation for Bai Ran. Even the chairs were specially selected from old Italian furniture brands, just to Let Bai Ran sit comfortably.
"You like Bai Ran?" Chen Yu asked straightforwardly.
"Ah."
"It is clear?"
Jiang Chao leaned on the back of the chair and looked up at Chen Yu.
"It just couldn't be more obvious."
No wonder every time he talked to Bai Ran, Jiang Chao looked over with icy eyes.
"Ok, you have a long journey, so I won't bother you chasing your wife." Chen Yu spread his hands and decisively withdrew from the battlefield.
"Push off customers from tonight until tomorrow."
"Say Xiaoran hello tonight." Chen Yu said teasingly.
-------
"Damn it, but the environment here is too good." Lu Xiaotong threw the big bags in his hand into the kitchen, and began to visit Bairan's apartment.
The size of the apartment is small, one bedroom and one living room, but what makes Lu Tong jealous the most is the shoe wall in the living room and the bookshelves in the bedroom full of hand-made figures.
"This pair is too pretty."
Lu Xiaotong was almost drooling looking at the limited edition pairs.
"Come here quickly, the kitchen needs help here." Lin Yi was busy in the kitchen.
"Immediately." Lu Xiaotong replied, while still staying in front of the shoe rack.
"How did you get this pair? There seems to be no channel in China."
"My brother went to the United States and helped me bring it back."
"It's great to have such a brother. I burst into tears." Lu Xiaotong's eyes were full of envy, but he was finally dragged into the kitchen by Lin Yi.
"Xiaoran, we both brought a lot of wine today. If we drink too much tonight, we will sleep at your house." Lu Xiaotong came here with the mentality of not getting drunk and not going home.
"Okay." Bai Ran put the wine they brought into the refrigerator, and the doorbell suddenly rang.
"Did you order other takeaways?" Bai Ran asked Lin Yi suspiciously.
"No, we just went to the supermarket and came over."
"Maybe it's a courier." Bai Ran didn't think much, and pressed the call button.
"Is it a courier?" Maybe the downstairs unit door was closed, and the courier rang the doorbell because he couldn't come up.
"It's me." Jiang Chao's voice came out through the loudspeaker.
"Senior?" Bai Ran was shocked.
"Well, it's cold outside."
The voiceover speaks for itself.
"I'm here to return yesterday's scarf."
Bai Ran clicked the unlock button, his expression froze on his face.
"Which senior?" Lu Xiaotong poked his head out curiously.
"That Jiang Chao senior from University A." Bai Ran murmured.
"The one who invited us to dinner in the last college friendly match?" Lin Yi still had the impression.
"Oh, that's the one who looks beyond human handsome." Lu Xiaotong picked up the conversation.
"Xiaoran, did you ask your senior to come over for dinner?"
Bai Ran wants to cry but has no tears.
He didn't call, the senior came to the door himself.
In fact, he was not in such a hurry to return that scarf, he still had several.
"It's okay, we all know each other anyway, so it's okay to have dinner together." Lin is an extrovert, and he is the type who likes to make friends.
"That's right, that's right, the more people eat hot pot, the more lively it is." Lu Xiaotong didn't care.
Bai Ran rubbed her head, her messy hair turned into a bird's nest.
There was a regular knock on the door, and Ta, who resigned himself to his fate, walked over to Jiang Chao with his slippers on.
"Hello senior." The three people who saw the senior still lined up and saluted obediently.
"Here is the scarf." Jiang Chao handed the paper bag to Bai Ran.
"Thank you, senior, for taking such a long trip." Bai Ran stood at the door, not intending to let Jiang Chao in.
Jiang Chao raised his eyebrows, was he rejected by the little anchor?
"Xiao Ran, quickly let the senior come in, our hot pot game will be more lively tonight." Lu Xiaotong enthusiastically handed the slippers to Jiang Chao.
"Senior is very busy every day, and may not be able to attend our party." Bai Ran waved his hand.
"Okay." Jiang Chao took the slippers from Lu Xiaotong.
"I'm free today."
