CHAPTER 1 - UNINHIBITED FREEDOM.

At the end of the summer in C City, it was especially stuffy. The trees outside the hidden window kept chirping, and the leaf fans above the office drove the stuffy air to swirl and emit buzzing sounds. However, the sound was concealed by the noise of typing.

Gu Gou dejectedly raised his hand to chase away the flies that were flying around his face. He turned his face around and continued sleeping.

Suddenly, a sharp and crisp sound came out, and a gloomy female voice shouted: Gu! Squeak!"

While Gu Gou was still in a dreamy sleep, he reflexively stood up and shouted, Here!

Pah! The fountain pen in the leader's hand was forcibly cut into two sections, and under a pair of reflective glasses, his eyes shot out thousands of ice swords, nailing him to the seat.

The leader said sorrowfully: Bring me the entire document in order! Otherwise! Her hand was like a sharp sword unsheathed, pointing straight at the window. Gouge looked in her direction, and it was as if he could see the abyss of hell: I- I'll - just - kick you out of here! Gu Gou swallowed his saliva. This was the sixth floor!

The entire office burst into an uproar, Wow …

Gu Gou immediately looked at the documents on the table that were still dripping with saliva. His mind was blank and he stuttered for a long time, but he still couldn't utter a single word.

At this moment, the leader's figure slowly floated over. When Gu Gou heard the pen in her hand slapping against his palm, the hairs on his body immediately stood on end.

You stupid pig!

Gu Gou covered his ears, closed his eyes, and desperately denied it, I'm not! I'm not! I am not!"

Dumb pig! Get up! Stupid pig! Get up! Gu Gou angrily pressed down on the alarm clock, grabbed it and threw it onto the blanket at the end of the bed. He covered his head and unhappily said, Sound my ass! You caused me to have nightmares!

Little hook. Mother Gu's voice came from outside the door. Your alarm clock is already ringing, why aren't you up yet?

Gu Gou frowned and turned around, covering his ears in annoyance, Aiya! You let me sleep a little longer! It's the New Year holiday now!"

What annual leave? It's almost over. Sniff the black eyes and immediately lit up. He got up and pulled off the blanket, which was incredibly active. After putting on his slippers, he ran outside, and his happy voice came from the dining room, Aiya, I want to brush my teeth and wash my face. "

Mother Gu couldn't help laughing in the room. She shook her head and picked up her son's quilt.

It was snowing outside today, and the Spring Festival had just passed. The roads of the district were completely covered in a layer of snow. Looking down from above, it looked like a dream during this season of ice and snow.

In the mirror, a clean and handsome face was reflected, eyebrows were high and nose were straight, the eyelashes were thick when the eyelids were lowered, and when the eyes were lowered, they were not short, Gu Gou used the basin to catch the hot water and directly rubbed his face with both hands. In the end, he grabbed a towel from a shelf to wipe himself, caught a glimpse of himself in the mirror, lifted his hand and, imitating his father's movements in front of the door, straightened his collar in the side mirror, and when he was done, he smilingly raised his eyebrows to the corner of his mouth, the youth in the mirror also looked at him, doing the same action, with rebellious eyes, arrogant and domineering, as if he was his youth.

506's door opened. Xin Yi's mother peeked her head out and smiled as she said: Aiyo, it's so early. Come in quickly.

Zhao Xinting quickly said sweetly, Auntie wishes you and Uncle a happy New Year. As he said this, he handed two small bags over with both hands, his cheeks slightly red. These are the two scarves from my needle, I'll give them to you.

Xin Yi's mother was grinning from ear to ear, Thank you, Little Ting. Auntie really likes this New Year gift too much. It's such a surprise! As she said this, she pulled her in and called into the room: Xin Yi, the new pavilion is here.

Xin Yi, who was still wearing her pajamas, opened the door and stuck her head out. She smiled at Zhao Xinting until her teeth were missing, Darling, New Year's Day is good. Wait for me. Change your clothes and we'll be ready.

Xin Yi's mother put everything in place and poured her a cup of warm water. She curiously asked: What are your two plans for today?

Xin Ting thanked his aunt, took the glass of water, and said, It's time to go to work. The unit will organize the cleaning.

So it's like that. You guys be careful on the road. Go home early after you finish cooking. Xin Yi's mother warned.

Zhao Xinting nodded his head obediently. At this time, Xin Yi came out of the room in a flurry, wearing a pleated skirt and a pink tweed jacket. She carried a small square bag and dressed in a style similar to Zhao Xinting.

Zhao Xinting's facial features were more exquisite, he had an oval face, a three-dimensional figure, and eyes that liked to laugh were like spring water in a mountain stream. When he lifted the corner of his mouth, there was a small dimple on his left cheek, and his figure was slender and slender.

And even though her family Xin Yi didn't have such a beautiful face, she was as energetic as a small sun. When she saw people, she first smiled, then her eyes curved, revealing her small canine teeth, revealing her fair and clean face, a pair of round eyes like a cat's, black eyes, and a clear and crisp voice that greeted you, making you feel close to her.

Xin Yi's mother sent the two young men downstairs. Only after seeing them walk away hand in hand did she feel at ease to go upstairs.

Gu Gou's feet shook as he sat on the railing. While holding the PSP, he was full of energy. Suddenly, his head was smashed into the paper box. His hands slipped and the checkpoint that he should have jumped through fell.

Guanjie tossed an apple up and down and raised his chin at him. Your grandfather is here! Are you asking for a beating by hiding there!?

With an embarrassed smile, he slipped the PSP into his pocket and jumped off the railing.

The colleagues who arrived first had already assigned work to do. They took a bucket and swept the floor. Gu Gou was extremely unwilling to waste time cleaning the unit. If it wasn't for Guan Jiexi who dragged him here to do some work, he would have been playing computer games at home comfortably by now.

He took the cloth that Guanjie handed to him and frowned doubtfully. Why do I feel like your hospitality is a bit strange?

What's so strange about that?

Gu Gou narrowed his eyes and moved closer to him, his face full of suspicion. At this moment, a crisp voice came from the door, Hey, everyone. Sorry we're late.

Everyone raised their heads and smiled as they greeted, Happy New Year.

Happy New Year.

Gu Gou raised his head. When he saw Zhao Xinting and Xin Yi, he was stunned for a moment before looking at the shining Champion with disdain. He snorted and dragged him out the back door: Idiot, face full of foolishness. Time to work.

Guanjie struggled, Hey, hey, Gu Gou!

Hey my ass!

The two of them walked out. Gu Gou crossed his arms over his chest and said, Tsk tsk, I thought you changed your personality all of a sudden, or something. You actually started to be interested in serving everyone. So it's because you intend to get drunk.

Wow. Guan Jie gestured in an exaggerated manner: Our Master Gu can actually use idioms!

Gu Gouge gave him a big slap on the face and said angrily, Go to hell!

As the two of them messed around in the corridor, Zhao Xinting stuck his head out of the window and asked, Hey, do you guys have any extra rags?

Guanjie immediately extended his hand. I do!

The moment Gu Gou saw the hacking hand, he walked over to Zhao Xinting and raised his chin arrogantly, saying, Find it yourself. We'll have just one.

Zhao Xinting pouted and said, Never mind, you guys can use it.

Seeing that the goddess had left, Guan Jie jumped up and angrily hit Gu Qishao. Why didn't you give it to her!? Seriously, she doesn't care about her female colleagues at all.

Gu Gou jumped to the side and unfurled his arms, completely wronged. It's not like she can't find one herself, and we really only have one. What do we do then?

Guanjie rolled his eyes. Diaosi.

Gu Gou curled his lips at him. Fantastic.

Gu Gou didn't have a good impression of this girl who claimed to be the brightest and brightest in the entire unit. She had a pretty and refined appearance, and looked as if she would fall if the wind blew, but in reality …

A few girls raised their heads to look up. A figure was hanging by the window, raising everyone's hearts.

Xin Yi calmly stood at the back of the crowd and commanded: Go left, right, a bit to the left and you didn't touch it. Right, that's it!

Zhao Xinting grabbed the iron rod on the window with one hand and threw down the cloth, Wash it.

At this moment, Director Wang, who was walking on his high heels, came in with a folder. He was shocked when he saw the girl hanging in the window. Xinting, why did you climb up?

Zhao Xinting pointed at the dead corner of the window and said, My hands and feet are more flexible, I can't rub them here.

At this moment, Gu Gou and Guan Jie shakily walked in. Director Wang quickly pointed at them and said, Hey, two male colleagues, can you help out with the new pavilion?

Guanjie looked up and saw that the goddess had climbed up. He immediately rubbed his hands together and said, Come down! This kind of thing, let me do it!

Gu Gou looked up and saw a reflection on Director Wang's lens. He immediately thought back to that morning's dream and silently leaned his head against the wall.

Zhao Xinting deftly jumped down to see Guanjie climb up to take her place. Gu Gou looked at her bold and unrestrained movements and appearance, which didn't match at all as he muttered: Tsk tsk.

Zhao Xinting suddenly turned his head. His gaze was like a sword that pierced over. It gave Gu Qishao a fright. He cleared his throat and turned around.

Gu Gou! Director Wang said in a serious voice through the crowd, Come with me to the office for a while.

Guanjie made a face at Gou, then proudly waved his hand at him. Good luck.

The corner of Gu Gou's mouth twitched as he received a warning from Leader Wang with his middle finger. Gu Gou!

Gu Gou seemed a little sloppy as he left the office with Director Wang amidst the laughter of his colleagues. Zhao Xinting shook his head and said, Gu Gou doesn't feel like he's been through the new year for a year. Instead, he's still a year younger.

That's true. This guy has a very high IQ.

Xin Yi burst out in laughter: People say that similar objects gather together. It's the same for him if he turns on you.

Guanjie lifted a stone to smash his own foot. His face was red as he watched his goddess laugh happily. He could not help but scratch his head and laugh. I'm still better than him.

A colleague next to him jeered, Champion is so shameless! All of you are the same!

Zhao Xinting also agreed, I think so too!

CHAPTER 2 - THE GODDESS AND DIAOSI OF FRIENDS AND FRIENDS

When he started his lecture, he secretly glanced at his watch. Half an hour had already passed, with his hands behind his back, and his head slightly lowered, looking like he was obediently receiving his education. In fact, his soul had already wandered far away, his left ear entering his right ear. Director Wang was tired and stopped to take a sip of water. Seeing him staring blankly at the floor with a thoughtful expression, his heart skipped a beat. He wondered, could she have said too much? Broken the heart of this young man? Director Wang leaned forward slightly and tapped the table with his fingers, sighing. Actually, the Leader said all this because he hoped that you would do your job well and not blame you for it.

Gu Gou lowered his head and depressingly answered, En …

Actually, you're a very smart employee. If you're serious about doing business, you probably won't have to worry about Xin Ting.

Zhao Xinting? Gu Gou's mouth twitched when he thought of her. What's so good about that bookworm who only knew how to read silly books. All he did was show off his results to others all day long to attack poor people like him.

When Director Wang's voice landed in his ears, he said, Alright, you can leave first. Remember to come back the day after tomorrow on time to register.

Gu Gou suddenly felt as if he had been granted amnesty. He shouted with energy in his voice, Goodbye, Leader! With that, she ran off like a wisp of smoke, frightening Director Wang so much that the lid of the cup fell to the ground and broke into two. She shook her head in anger, Bastard!

Gu Gou called Zhiwen and Yu Xi as he walked.

Hey! Wisdom! Get out of here! Come with this grandpa to the Internet Cafe and fight three hundred rounds! "

Hey! Fatty! Stop sleeping! Die for me, I will take you to have a good meal!

In the end, Gu Gou dialed Guanjie's number and proudly announced, You're a calf! Obediently run to your goddess's dog legs. I will invite Zhi Wen and Fatty to go, but don't come!

Gu Gou? The female voice from the other end of the phone shocked him. Gu Gou picked up the phone to check if there was anything wrong with it, then put the phone close to his ear and greeted him with a suspicious Hello.

It's me, Zhao Xinting.

Gu Gou pulled at his hair and exhaled a breath of white air. This girl existed wherever he went. He said rather impatiently, Give the phone to Guan Jie.

Zhao Xinting said depressingly, I don't know where he is either. I just told him to go and dump a trash in the office. He didn't bring his phone with him.

Gu Gou stepped on the snow beneath his feet and said, Then you can wait there. Wait for him to go back and find him himself.

Zhao Xinting hesitated, I can only wait for half an hour.

Gu Gou mumbled, Up to you.

At this moment, in the unit's two men's restroom.

After squatting down and grabbing a piece of paper, he realized that he didn't bring any paper with him. Thus, he once again took out his phone and touched it, immediately turning pale with fright. He searched up and down a few times, only to find that he had put his phone somewhere.

With a pale complexion and a pale complexion, Guan Jie trembled as he looked around. How could they compare! There was not a single piece of paper during the break!

A sorrowful howl came from the men's restroom, Save them!

Fatty, who had just woken up at home, excitedly said to Zhi Wen on the other end of the phone, Hurry up! I came to pick me up on the way.

Zhi Wen cursed as he found his pants. F * ck, you want me to bring you along? Didn't you know that three of my tires were destroyed by you?

The unit's Gu Ke whistled and walked out of the unit, leaving a trail of footprints behind.

Inside the office, Zhao Xinting and Xin Yi were discussing each other's New Year's Eve while waiting for Guan Jie to come back to get his phone.

The new semester was about to begin.

At eight in the morning, the office bell for Xincheng Corporation's company rang. Leader Wang, the director of the office, strode into the office with a smile on his face. He took a look around the office and said in a clear voice, Ladies and gentlemen, happy new year!

A voice replied, Happy New Year, Leader!

Director Wang said with a smile, Not bad, it looks like everyone has had a good year, your voices are full of spirit and vitality. This year, your first meeting will be held by Director Wang, and we will open an office to see if you will be able to get to work. How was the performance of our colleagues last year?

The colleagues below all applauded.

He still hadn't adjusted his vacation time, and was drowsy under his two thick black eye circles. When his head drooped down, Leader Wang's voice suddenly became louder, and next to him came another round of warm applause. Gu Gou abruptly opened his eyes and blankly clapped along with them.

Zhi Wen expressionlessly whispered into his ear, Didn't you fall asleep?

Gu Gou's eyes were half open and his face was expressionless. He clapped his hands and said, Such a loud noise, do you think you're sleeping?

Zhi Wen looked at him and whispered: Ai, don't you feel that the new pavilion seems to have become more beautiful after the new year?

As he said this, he looked in the direction of Zhao Xinting. At this moment, the sunlight shone in from the window next to her seat, and Gu Gou saw her side face was dyed with a faint golden splendor; her long eyelashes projected, her jujube red neck made her face look white and rosy. Her black ponytail hung down on her white school uniform, and her ponytail also had a layer of faint golden glow.

Gu Gou was in a bit of a daze.

You feel the same way, don't you, Zhi Wen whispered in his ear.

Gu Gou came back to his senses, and impatiently pushed him away. Go away, go away, a bunch of infatuations.

The two men's movements caught Director Wang's attention. He cleared his throat at the front and asked, Those last two, Gu Gou and Zhi Wen, do you have anything to say to everyone?

Zhi Wen quickly put up the documents to cover himself and shook his head: No, no!

Gu Gou suddenly raised his hand and shouted, Leader has something to say, but he doesn't dare to say it!

Director Wang encouraged him, saying, It's alright. If any of your colleagues have anything to say, stand up and say it.

Gu Gou smiled evilly, Leader, please say if it's okay on his behalf.

Zhi Wen vaguely felt that something was wrong. Before he could stop Zhao Xin, he had already stood up and said loudly, Zhi Wen colleagues feel that our colleague is getting more and more beautiful, so beautiful that he's no longer in the mood to work!

Boom! Zhi Wen's face quickly flushed red. He wanted to cover Gu Gou's mouth with his hands and feet but stumbled awkwardly and fell to the ground. His comical appearance caused the entire office to burst out in laughter.

Zhao Xinting, on the other hand, slightly frowned as he looked at Gu Qishao, who was making fun of others. Their gazes met in the air. She saw the provocation in his eyes, and he saw the disgust in hers.

Gu Gou was extremely pleased with himself. I'm not in a good mood. Bite me!

There was still 15 minutes before the end of the shift. The corridor was filled with sunlight, Gu Gou was standing upright against the wall, and his 175 height seemed to be half a head shorter beside Zhi Wen.

He couldn't turn his head, so he could only squint at Zhi Wen and mutter, Don't make a face. It's better to stay here and bask in the sun.

Zhi Wen said expressionlessly: Gu Gou, I really want to beat you up.

Gu Gou curled his lips. Because I've embarrassed you?

No, because you have humiliated me in front of my goddess!

Gu Gou: … The game in his mind was the only thing that made him unable to understand this kind of heart-stirring, shy youth. He could not help but taunt arrogantly, Look at all of you, you're all like lustful spring cats!

As soon as he said that, Director Wang suddenly appeared and yelled in his ear, Gu Gou, you did well. You can still chat so happily outside!

The two of them almost fell to the ground from that shock, the documents on top of their heads fell to the floor. Director Wang stood in front of them with his hands behind his back and pointed at the book on the ground: Pick it up for me! It's a lesson! "

The bell for getting off work rang. All of the colleagues in the office came out to bask in the sun. Everyone's gaze was attracted by the two people standing there.

Pointing and laughing, Gu Gou's thick skin didn't matter.

It was just that because he felt pity for Zhi Wen, his face started to turn red again. He squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: Gu Gou, I hate you!

I know.

He enjoyed the sun's rays comfortably. The first bell at work rang, and everyone slowly returned to their offices. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of red in the corner of his eyes, and he squinted his eyes, watching as the red color passed through the crowd and arrived in front of them.

Zhao Xinting, who had just received his hygiene equipment, said to them with a serious expression, The leader said that we will send you here. The next time you mess up at work, he will call you to the sports field to read your books for everyone to watch.

Gu Gou humphed and raised his hand to take down the book, then suddenly leaned close to her ear and said, I'm happy to cause trouble, but you're not in a good mood to bite me.

Gu Gou heard Zhao Xinting laugh and say, You think I don't dare?

His body was suddenly pushed away. Zhao Xinting suddenly flew into a rage as he swung the broom in his hand. He suddenly hit his head, hitting his leg. Gu Gou didn't manage to dodge and let out a groan. When the fight ended, no one around him had time to react.

Zhao Xinting was slightly out of breath as he raised his broom. What? Do you think I don't dare to beat you up?! Saying this, she kicked him in the face. He raised his chin provocatively and left. Xin Yi smiled as she bent over to hook Zhao Xinting's arm and entered the office.

Fatty and Guanjie both sighed and stuck their heads out of the window, exclaiming, Does it hurt, Gu Gou?

Gu Gou bared his teeth, pointed at the office, and stared at the people in disbelief, This tigress hit me, as brothers, you guys are actually watching her play!

Zhi Wen and Fatty, Guan Jie all answered at the same time: Who told you to be so cheap, you deserve it!

On his first day at work, Gu Gou was very depressed.

Zhao Xinting felt even more depressed.

Xin Yi picked all of her favorite stir-fried potatoes beans into her bowl and comforted her: Don't be angry at this little pavilion.

Zhao Xinting gloomily poked rice and said, Do you know what the office manager said to me? He told me to keep my colleagues at arm's length, or else I'd have to invite my parents over!

Xin Yi was shocked. The new pavilion for the three best employees would actually be warned by the office manager?

Zhao Xinting ferociously stuffed a mouthful of rice into his mouth, This Gu Gou!

The customers eating well in the second restaurant suddenly sneezed a few times, causing the other three to carry their plates away from him.

Fatty patted his chest and said, What the f * ck is this swine flu!

Champion: + 1

Zhi Wen remained expressionless: + 2

Gu Gou wanted to throw the plate angrily, Hey, sit down and properly explain what's going on. Are all of you trying to push me away for a woman?

Guanjie narrowed his eyes and shook his head, No! Who betrayed us!

Fatty: Gu Gou!

Zhi Wen: Scum!

Who is the one that is damaging our image?

Fatty: Gu Gou!

Zhi Wen: Scum!

Gu Gou covered his face as if he was crying. I know I was wrong …

The three looked at each other and sat down. Guan Jie poked him with his finger: Since you know you're wrong, you should be punished.

The winter wind was cold.

Gu Ge stood at the very end of the crowd, rubbing his arms and stomping his feet. He turned his head to look at the three people behind the glass.

Yu Xi raised her hand and made a gesture to cheer him on.

Gu Gou stared at him, jumping up and down on the spot. Fifteen minutes later, he came over while holding two cups of hot milk tea. Guanjie praised him as he patted Gu Gou's head, Not bad, not bad. This youth has worked hard.

The four of them left the tea shop and returned to the playground.

Gu Gou retorted, You're all too inhumane, letting me freeze for 20 minutes in the cold wind just for these two cups of milk tea?

Yu Xi rolled her eyes at him. What do you know? Any delicacies are worth waiting for! What's more, this is something that would allow Arwen to apologize to the Goddess! "

Hey, I'll give it to you. Gu Gou passed the milk tea to him, I'm not in the right either. I shouldn't have embarrassed you in front of everyone. Wen, I'm sorry.

Zhi Wen snorted. His expression became a lot better as he said: You said I don't have anything to say! But you said in front of everyone that the girl's quality was just too low!

Gu Gou awkwardly turned his head away, and Guan Jie said, He knows he was wrong. Wen, since you gave these two cups of tea to Xin Ting, they should apologize for Gu Gou. I saw that the office manager found her and talked to her until her eyes turned red.

Zhi Wen carefully held two cups of milk tea and walked towards Zhao Xinting and the others, who were playing badminton at the other end of the field.

Gu Gou was really puzzled. I don't know what you guys like about her.

She likes to be everywhere. She's pretty, has good performance, and has a good personality! Guanjie counted with his fingers. Suddenly, his face turned red as he said, If I had a girlfriend like that, I'd be too ashamed.

Yu Xi also added, with a twinkle in her eye, And she has a good temper. She doesn't look too high and mighty when she's with everyone. Don't you know, teasing her while laughing with her makes you feel like you've eaten the best delicacies!

Gu Gou was so sore that he felt goosebumps all over his body. He brushed past them and looked at them with disdain, Enough is enough, you guys really are disgusting!

Guan Jie shrugged his shoulders and saw Zhi Wen come back with a red face. He sighed. Useless thing!

Gu Gou looked at Zhi Wen and asked with an exaggerated look: Hey! Idiot, why do you like her even though you're so handsome!"

Zhi Wen looked at him as if he was looking at an idiot. You're not talking nonsense. Who doesn't like beautiful girls!

Gu Gou felt that the people around him were no longer normal humans. Zhao Xinting was a reincarnated fox spirit!

The setting sun reflected in the sky. Zhao Xinting and Xin Yi pushed the cart as they walked back.

Zhao Xinting and Xin Yi were very happy as they chatted and laughed. After the two said their goodbyes to each other, they walked to the intersection and went their separate ways.

Just as Zhao Xinting was about to get on the car, she was suddenly startled by a pat on her shoulder. She turned around and saw Guanjie looking at her with a smile.

Zhao Xinting patted his chest, You're the special one that scares people!

Guanjie smiled awkwardly, rubbed his nose and asked, I just want to ask, are you alright?

Zhao Xinting looked at him with a puzzled expression, What do you mean, all right?

I think I saw the head of the office talking about you today.

Zhao Xinting was a bit depressed. After all, her good employees had been misunderstood by their leaders. The unhappiness in her heart couldn't be dispersed that easily.

Guanjie comforted her by patting her on the shoulder, It's fine. It's all because of that bastard, Gu Ke. Tomorrow he'll apologize to you.

Zhao Xinting sighed and shook his head, I was just unhappy because of what the Leader said, so it has nothing to do with him. Even though he said so, he still heavily added two words in the end: This childish fella!

Champion smiled and said, Let's go play basketball tomorrow afternoon!

Zhao Xinting's eyes lit up and he shook his head hesitantly. No, it's only the beginning of the new semester. I need to study my mission carefully first.

CHAPTER 3 - GAME

Guanjie sighed as he laid on the bed. There's no need to be in such a hurry. I said, Gu Gou, I want to learn from him for watching him work so hard on his business.

Gu Gou faced the PSP, full of fighting spirit, and said without even raising his head, Then hurry up and go!

He flipped over, grabbed a book, and threw it to the side. Forget it. I wasn't in the mood to start work at the beginning.

On the screen, the words Successfully cleared the level were displayed. Gu Gou
