"Yes, that's it."

After Ren Zhouyuan put the Anan to sleep, he came to the living room. Leonid didn't even change his clothes. He was sitting on the sofa with a tired face. After listening to Ren Zhouyuan's words, he looked even more tired.

"I see."

Leonid wiped his face and smiled at Ren Zhouyuan. "Thank you for your hard work. Are you used to living here these days?"

Ren Zhouyuan carefully observed his expression and felt embarrassed. This man was looking forward to meeting the Anan. If it weren't for the Anan, they wouldn't be sitting here and talking face to face. However, he didn't guide the Anan well these days, which led to tonight's situation.

He nodded and said, "The Anan has a childish temper. Don't take it to heart. I'll scold him."

Leonid waved his hand and looked indifferent. "The Anan is right. I should learn Chinese. You and your father both speak Chinese, and you can speak Russian. There's no reason for you to give in to me, right?

Don't be nervous. I'm not angry. "He looked at the time." It's so late. The Anan is asleep. You should go to sleep too. "

At this point, if he said anything more, it would seem that he was being unreasonable. However, Ren Zhouyuan still felt sorry. He looked at the place where the conflict happened and saw the suitcase still in the hallway. He suddenly thought of something. "Have you eaten?"

"Yes?"

Leonid paused and shook his head. "I rushed back as soon as I got off the plane. It's already past the time when I came back."

For some reason, Ren Zhouyuan felt that his tone was a little pitiful. He thought for a moment and said, "I'll cook noodles for you." Seeing that Leonid wanted to refuse, he quickly stood up and said, "It won't take long. Go wash your face and change your clothes. It'll be ready when it's done." He didn't wait for Leonid to refute and walked quickly to the kitchen.

Leonid curled his lips and smiled. He obediently took his suitcase from the hallway and walked to the bedroom.

Ren Zhouyuan finished cooking and found that Leonid was already sitting at the table waiting for him. He walked over with the noodles. "I don't know what you're used to. I didn't put any spicy food."

Ren Zhouyuan thought that Leonid was so big, so he made three noodles. The bowls at home were not big enough, so he just put the noodles in a pot.

Leonid looked at the noodles, his face twitched. He silently picked up the fork and began to eat.

Leonid ate the noodles very fast, but his posture was very elegant. Ren Zhouyuan wanted to wait for him to finish eating before coming out to clean up, but seeing him eat one-fifth of the noodles in one bite, he had to sit aside and wait for him to finish.

Leonid's appearance was very three-dimensional. At this time, from the side, the bridge of his nose was higher, his cheekbones were more prominent, his eye sockets looked deeper, and his dark brown eyelashes were lowered at this time, covering his eyes that were different from the Anan's. His blue eyes were usually fierce, but when he looked at the Anan, they were blazing.

This was the first time that Ren Zhouyuan saw Leonid in casual clothes. The last time he went to the Maker's Base, he wore a slightly simple shirt. But now he only wore a white T-shirt and a pair of ordinary sweatpants. Such simple clothes made Ren Zhouyuan feel that he was a different person.

A bear was still a bear, but from a big black bear to a polar bear. Although he knew that he still couldn't change the ferocity in his nature, he changed into a white skin, which made him feel much more approachable.

From that day on, Leonid's first task was to learn Chinese. Whether it was at work or after work, Ren Zhouyuan could see him holding a book called "Easy Chinese" and reading "E." without any expression on his face. It was not an ordinary funny look.

The relationship between him and the Anan remained the same. One was trying to please the Anan, while the other was avoiding him. Later, Ren Zhouyuan told the Anan a few times, so the Anan had to "lower himself" and no longer hide behind Ren Zhouyuan, showing his little face to Ren Zhouyuan.

Leonid was very diligent in his studies, and it took him more than a week to learn how to say a few simple sentences. Ren Zhouyuan saw his hard work and tried his best to be a bridge between the two of them. In the end, after much persuasion and half-coercion, An 'an finally opened her mouth to call him "Hello, uncle."

Although it was not "Hello, Daddy," An 'an was willing to talk to him. Leonid was so happy that his heart was bubbling. He held back his excitement and nodded vigorously, but his shining eyes betrayed him.

Ren Zhouyuan couldn't bear to see him like this, so he went to talk to the Anan. The two negotiated for a long time before they finally reached a consensus.

He found Leonid in the hall. Seeing him struggling to read the sentences that were difficult for him to pronounce, Ren Zhouyuan felt funny and a little warm.

When Leonid saw him, he put down the book and smiled at him, a little frustrated. "These little squares are giving me a headache."

Ren Zhouyuan laughed. When he passed by Leonid's study two days ago, he saw him writing with a ruler stroke by stroke. He almost couldn't help laughing, but he didn't have the bad habit of exposing people's secrets. He took the book and glanced at it. "These textbooks are written according to the grammar. It's boring and impractical to learn." He returned the book to him. "When I was learning Russian, I just learned the grammar and then went to the forum to look up the words I didn't know. It's easier to learn and apply them flexibly."

Leonid rarely heard him talk about himself. He raised his eyebrows and asked a few more questions.

The two chatted like ordinary friends. The atmosphere was a little relaxed, but it was not annoying.

Ren Zhouyuan chatted with him for a while, organizing his thoughts. When Leonid sighed again about how difficult it was to learn Chinese, Ren Zhouyuan took the opportunity to suggest, "I'm thinking, if you find someone to practice with, will you learn faster?"

Leonid sat up straight after hearing this, and there was a little hesitation in his eyes.

Ren Zhouyuan knew he was thinking the wrong way. He waved his hand and said, "I'm talking about you and the Anan."

He and the Anan had exchanged conditions for a long time to persuade him. For this matter, Ren Zhouyuan had agreed to many of his requests.

Although it was not Ren Zhouyuan who was going to practice with him, Leonid's eyes lit up when he heard that it was the Anan. He asked, "Can I?"

Ren Zhouyuan nodded, but soon he looked a little embarrassed. "But you have to be able to withstand the Anan."

Leonid did not quite understand at first, but a few seconds later, he understood. He smiled helplessly and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

The next morning, Ren Zhouyuan received a call from Fan Wenfeng. He suddenly remembered that he did not tell Fan Wenfeng that he had moved for several days. After the "Si Kong" incident was successfully solved, he did not talk to Fan Wenfeng in detail. After thinking about it, he decided to leave the Anan at home and let Leonid take care of him. He asked Fan Wenfeng to go out for a meal and talk about it.

Ren Zhouyuan could not help but laugh when he thought of the betrayal on the Anan's face before he left.

When he arrived at the meeting place, Fan Wenfeng had been there for a while. As soon as Ren Zhouyuan appeared, Fan Wenfeng complained, "Why didn't you tell me that you moved? I could have helped you move. Where did you move to?"

Ren Zhouyuan thought for a while and said, "It's near the company. I don't think it's far and there aren't many things, so I won't bother you. Next time, I'll invite you over."

After that, he took a sip of tea and said, "The" Si Kong "incident was solved. I said I wanted to treat you to a meal, but this time, don't fight with me."

Fan Wenfeng shook his head and smiled. He did not fight with Ren Zhouyuan.

Fan Wenfeng's media company later officially sued "Si Kong." They thought that this kind of defamation case would take a lot of time and effort, but they did not expect that a few scholars, who were suspected to be part of the archaeological team, would come forward to testify that Ren Zhouyuan's article did not steal their results. In the end, "Si Kong" deleted the comments posted on the Internet. The whole thing was like a farce, and it ended in such a way.

But the result was gratifying. Ren Zhouyuan's appearance made the company's executives pay more attention to the pen name "An Yi." Although this put a lot of pressure on Fan Wenfeng, they now had a lot more manuscripts to choose from, and the price was higher than before.

This time, Fan Wenfeng asked Ren Zhouyuan out for a meal. First, she found out that Ren Zhouyuan had moved. The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, so she asked him out to meet up. Second, she wanted to discuss recent work matters with him.

"Do you still remember the manuscript that I mentioned to you before?

It's the one where the topic has two directions. "

Fan Wenfeng pulled out a document and handed it to Ren Zhouyuan. "Previously, when I was dealing with the Si Kong matter, I helped you turn down all the projects you were talking about. I didn't contact any of the other manuscripts, except for this one. In the end, I still didn't give up. I kept an eye on it, and since you don't have a lot of manuscripts on hand recently, I brought it over for you to take a look."

Upon hearing this, Ren Zhouyuan raised his eyebrows. Of course, he remembered this. Back then, he had made fun of Fan Wenfeng for putting the topic in, and had thought about how to write it.

Ren Zhouyuan opened the document that Fan Wenfeng handed over. The more he read, the tighter his eyebrows became. Although the author's specific information was not written in the document, the content gave Ren Zhouyuan an indescribable sense of familiarity.

"You rejected this?" Ren Zhouyuan asked after reading the document.

Fan Wenfeng shook his head. "I rejected the first time, but the other party didn't give up. They continued to send me several emails. I saw that they were very sincere, so I didn't want to reject them. That's why I wanted to ask for your opinion first."

Ren Zhouyuan was almost certain that the document in his hand was an invitation from Wei Qi.

When Fan Wenfeng first showed it to him, the other party only provided him with one topic. However, perhaps because of Fan Wenfeng's rejection, this time, there was much more information. Other than omitting the author's background, the rest of the content was described in detail.

Fan Wenfeng pointed at the document. "I see that a lot of the content is quite consistent with your current job. It shouldn't be too difficult for you to write it. The other party also offered a lot of money. Personally, I think it's quite worth it."

Ren Zhouyuan clenched the document in his hand. After thinking for a while, he looked up at Fan Wenfeng and said, "Okay, take it." After that, he added, "But don't tell the other party my real identity!

I'll send you the manuscript when I'm done. "

Fan Wenfeng felt that his request was a bit strange. The articles published under the pen name "An Yi" had revealed his real identity not long ago, but it was rare for Ren Zhouyuan to accept the manuscript. Fan Wenfeng didn't think too much about it. He happily clinked glasses with him to celebrate the new addition and the new manuscript.

Ren Zhouyuan put the document away, said goodbye to Fan Wenfeng, and returned home. Looking at the document in his hand, he sighed. He didn't expect that he would be tied to Leonid again.

"I'm back …" He opened the door and entered the house. Before he could finish his sentence, he heard Anan screaming.

"It's an egg, not a squeezed egg!

Why are you so stupid?! "

Anan was sitting on the sofa, biting an egg. He frowned and stared at Leonid. When he saw Ren Zhouyuan come back, he immediately climbed down the sofa and threw himself at Ren Zhouyuan. "Dad, you're back!" Then he pointed to the back and complained, "He's too stupid. I don't want to teach him Chinese anymore!"

"Anan," Ren Zhouyuan helplessly rubbed his head. "You can't say that, uncle. Anan went to Wei Qi and encountered something he didn't know. Did the teacher also say that Anan was a little stupid?"

Anan curled his lips and whispered, "Anan is not as stupid as him!"

"You're back."

Leonid followed Anan and came over. He looked at the bag in his hand and asked, "Have you eaten?"

Ren Zhouyuan subconsciously hid the document behind him. Then he realized that his action was a bit stupid. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Yes, I've eaten. How about you?"

Leonid raised his eyebrows and nodded.

He didn't mention Ren Zhouyuan's action just now. Instead, he turned around and pestered Anan to teach him how to read.

Ren Zhouyuan looked at them and felt that his worries were unfounded. Maybe he should talk to Leonid and try to tell him about his past bit by bit.
