Who Moved My Eye Drops

Old Liu, in his late forties, is a senior programmer in "Programmer's Paradise" - which is actually "Bald Head Hell". More dry than his code are his eyes, which are constantly facing the screen year after year. The doctor had warned him long ago that he had severe dry eye syndrome and could go blind if he didn't pay attention. So, a bottle of imported, expensive eye drops became Old Liu's lifeline, always with him.

Old Liu treasures this bottle of eye drops as if it were his life. He brings it to work, and he brings it after work, wishing he could put it next to his pillow when he sleeps. But recently, Old Liu discovered a strange phenomenon: his eye drops were running out much faster than usual!

At first, Old Liu thought he was using more. After all, the project has been rushed recently, working overtime is the norm, and the frequency of dry eyes is also higher. But after careful calculation, it was still not right. The number of times he used it every day had not changed, but the liquid level of the eye drops was decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Could it be... haunted? Old Liu shivered, and then felt that he was really thinking too much. This is the twenty-first century, the age of technology, where did the ghosts come from?

After thinking about it, Old Liu felt that the only possibility was: someone stole his eye drops!

How could this be possible? Stealing things from Old Liu? Or stealing his life-saving eye drops? Enough is enough!

Old Liu decided that he must find out the thief who stole the eye drops!

He began to observe secretly. When he was at work, he didn't dare to take his eyes off his desk for a moment, for fear that the eye drops would be taken away in the blink of an eye.

But after observing for a few days, he gained nothing. His eye drops were still decreasing at a steady rate.

This thief is too cunning, right? Could it be the legendary "invisible man"? Old Liu felt that his IQ had been insulted.

Really had no way, Old Liu decided to take high-tech measures. He bought a mini camera online, disguised as a U disk, and secretly placed it on his desk, aiming at his eye drops.

After the camera was installed, Old Liu felt much more at ease. He thought to himself, let's see where you can run this time!

The next day, Old Liu came to the company early, couldn't wait to turn on the computer, and check the surveillance video.

The video showed that everything was normal. Colleagues came and went, but no one approached his desk.

Until noon, during lunch break, everyone went to eat, and the office was empty.

At this moment, a figure appeared in the picture.

It's Xiao Wang!

Xiao Wang is a new intern in the company, a young man who wears black-rimmed glasses and looks honest.

Xiao Wang tiptoed to Old Liu's desk, looked around, confirmed that there was no one there, quickly picked up Old Liu's eye drops, and dropped a few drops into his eyes.

After dripping the eye drops, Xiao Wang carefully put the eye drops back in place, and then left as if nothing had happened.

Old Liu was so angry that smoke was coming out of his ears. Good you, Xiao Wang, I usually see you being honest, but I didn't expect you to be a thief!

He decided to go to Xiao Wang immediately to settle the score.

But when he rushed to Xiao Wang, ready to question him, he suddenly hesitated.

Xiao Wang looked very haggard, and his eyes were covered with bloodshot. He was lying on the table, trying hard to type on the keyboard.

Old Liu's heart softened. He remembered when he was young, he also worked so hard, for his dreams, for his life, overdrafting his body.

Maybe Xiao Wang also secretly used his eye drops because his eyes were too dry and he was really uncomfortable.

Thinking of this, Old Liu sighed, walked to Xiao Wang's side, and gently patted him on the shoulder.

"Xiao Wang, come here for a moment."

Xiao Wang raised his head, saw Old Liu, and was a little nervous.

"Liu... Brother Liu, what's the matter?"

Old Liu didn't speak, but took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Xiao Wang.

Xiao Wang took the paper and looked at it suspiciously.

Only to see a line written on the paper:

"If you want to use eye drops in the future, tell me directly."

Xiao Wang was stunned, and his eyes instantly became wet.

"Brother Liu..." He choked and couldn't speak.

Old Liu smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Work hard and take care of your body."

After speaking, Old Liu turned and left.

He didn't see that after he turned around, Xiao Wang took out a bottle of eye drops from his pocket and secretly put it back on Old Liu's desk.

That was the bottle that Old Liu accidentally left in the company last time and thought he had lost.

And in the surveillance video, what Xiao Wang dripped was his own, a bottle of cheap, domestic eye drops.
