The scene that was too real made Yunli subconsciously hide back, and her hands took off the handle of the motorcycle. The sound system of the VR glasses was installed in the glasses. Yunli heard a cute prompt, "Kid, hold on to the handle to hug daddy." oh."

“…”

Even though he knew that all of this was virtual, in the VR world, this visual reality still made Yunli resist taking the initiative to hug Fu Shize.

But the more I care about it, the more ordinary things become more interesting.

Within two seconds, the motorcycle started to move, and Fu Shi rode the motorcycle through the mountains and forests, while shooting at the monsters that came out. The image of the monster was also a tribute to that classic arcade game. The simulation effect of the mobile device is very good, and several flipping scenes scared Yunli to close her eyes.

When Yunli came back to her senses, she realized that she had tightened her grip on the handle again at some point. During the game, she was wrapping her small arms around Fu Shize's waist.

Yunli felt a thin layer of sweat on her forehead. The virtual reality technology was limited and could not give real tactile feedback. However, with just a visual hug, Yunli felt her heart was in her throat.

Fu Shize always looked straight ahead, seemingly not noticing her presence at all. Yunli's hand that was about to take it back stopped, and she pressed her fingertips on her palm, which was already covered with a thin layer of sweat. She took a deep breath, stretched out her fingers, and saw that she was hugging the figure in front of her again.

It doesn't seem to matter if I hug you secretly...

The end point was at the edge of the canyon. She saw Fu Shize getting off the motorcycle. The character in the game was wearing a helmet and sunglasses, with some scratches on his cheeks.

He held out his hands to her.

Yunli held her breath and saw Fu Shize's hands passing under her arms, picking her up and placing her on the ground.

In just a few minutes of journey, he traveled through mountains and rivers. Yunli looked at her small palm and mustered up the courage to hold his hand.

In sight, the other party also gently held her hand.

Fu Shize had already taken off his VR glasses at this time and only saw his left glove vibrating. He turned to look at Yunli. After a while, she slowly took off her VR glasses, as if she hadn't recovered yet.

After a few seconds of silence, the system began to broadcast safety precautions for departure. Fu Shize untied his equipment first and walked to Yunli.

Yunli's eyes were a little dodgey: "This mode seems to be quite special."

Fu Shi bent down to untie her safety rope. He was playing the same game, but he didn't seem to be affected and asked her, "What's so special about it?"

"The setting of this parent-child mode seems to prevent children from learning driving and shooting..."

Fu Shize was stunned for a moment: "You didn't shoot just now?"

"Yes."

"You don't ride a bike either?"

"Yes… "

Fu Shize's expression was slightly confused: "Didn't you enter the game?"

“…”

Yunli lowered her head, feeling extremely guilty: "In parent-child mode, children can't operate it, they can only watch the scenery along the way."

Fu Shi glanced at her: "Does it look good?"

Yunli nodded.

Without asking, Yunli could also infer from their conversation that Fu Shi had no idea she was sitting behind him.

That’s right—he couldn’t have played the parent-child mode either.

I can't tell whether I feel happy or disappointed. Yunli feels that she has gained a lot today. With the blessing of technology, just like the excitement brought to her by arcade games, she experienced a completely different world.

But she hoped they were true.

After turning off the equipment, the two returned to the office.

Yunli held the folder in her arms and whispered "Thank you for your guidance" to Fu Shize, then turned and ran away.

There were already three or four people sitting in the office. Yunli suddenly felt nervous and walked back to her seat with a gentle step. Fortunately, she didn't attract anyone's attention.

Deng Chuqi was delivering materials nearby and asked her to meet at the coffee shop on the first floor of Haitian Commercial City. Yunli packed her things and sent a message to He Jiameng saying that she would not have lunch at the company.

Deng Chuqi: "So, you just played some games this morning."

Yunli said dissatisfied: "This is not work."

Deng Chuqi said: “It’s still a game that you have to pay to play.”

Deng Chuqi took a sip of coffee: "Then did Uncle Xia Xia show that he took care of you? But from his cold look, he didn't seem to take care of others."

"Self-reliance." Yunli glanced at her sideways.

Not wanting what she said to be interpreted by Deng Chuqi as Fu Shize's "nothing", Yunli organized her words and said, "Uncle Xia Xia is also very kind to me. When he came to our school two days ago, he accompanied Fu Zhengchu. When watching football matches, he took me with him."

Yunli did not mention other details.

"You guys went to watch a football match together. Do you still understand football?" Deng Chuqi thought of something and patted the table. "I remembered it. Didn't you participate in that robot football match before? You should be cool." Know the format.”

Yunli shook his head: "As long as you score a goal in that football match, scoring a basketball counts as a win."

The robot football match Deng Chuqi mentioned happened when Yunli was a sophomore in high school. Both of them were in the best high school in Xifu, and the school had many activities to improve students' comprehensive literacy.

That was the first time Yunli knew about the existence of the Science and Technology Festival.

Yunli pressed the deadline to enter this high school, and was overwhelmed by the excellence of the classmates around her. The monthly public announcement of the monthly exam rankings was even more physically and mentally tortured. Several times, Yunli held the ten-centimeter-long score slip without the class teacher knowing—this small slip of paper with bumpy edges was a night full of gunpowder.

do not wanna go Home.

Yunli always carried that kind of note blankly, two intersections away from home.

A distance of five meters, repeatedly kicking the same stone from one side to the other.

Until it was so late that I had to go back.

When the notice of the Science and Technology Festival was released, it happened to be the end of the monthly exam. Unsurprisingly, Yun Yongchang did not agree with her participation in this 'meaningless' event.

In fact, in Yun Yongchang's eyes, academic performance is everything.

Going to a good university is the only way for ordinary people to change their destiny.

He also pinned this on his two children.

"You see for yourself, how did you get in the exam? With this score, you still want to take part in those messy things." Yun Yongchang tore up the note and threw it into the trash can.

It was obviously light paper, but the moment it was torn into pieces, it was so heavy that Yun Li couldn't breathe.

That day, when Yunli was stuck before the deadline for registration, she remembered the viral video she had watched more than a year ago.

As if stunned, Yunli signed up for one of the robot football games. Each team needs to complete the construction of the robot under the guidance of the coach.

The school invited top students from Xifu University of Science and Technology to guide them, and the captain of each team was a student from Xifu University of Science and Technology.

Nearly sixty teams participated.

Yunli's team spent three weeks building these six robots. The official competition was 5v5, and a backup robot was needed.

In the early stage, their team leader wrote code remotely at Western University of Science and Technology, and in the final period, he will come to the school to assemble the robot with them.

There are only a few days left until the game.

The captain asked them to find a ground with greater friction to familiarize themselves with the operation of the robot.

It was the weekend, and the plastic track on the playground was still soaked in the early morning humidity.

Yunli found a corner and placed the robot on the ground. The robot didn't look good, with a dark gray square torso, two round yellow eyes, and a white head.

Ugly, just a little bit ugly, as long as you can move.

Yunli controls the joystick on the handle, but the robot is very slow. She often needs to push it in one direction for a few seconds before it crawls slowly.

Yunli spent a whole day without letting the robot push the stone to move, until the scorching sun at noon also secretly appeared. She went to the small shop to buy a piece of bread and sat back on the playground.

Staring at this stupid robot, Yunli gnawed on the bread dully.

She only felt sad, flicked the robot's head with her finger, and complained: "Why are you so stupid?"

Later, she stared at the robot depressedly as it approached the stone from a distance of half a meter. She herself squatted on the ground and carefully followed the robot.

The hot wind from the north direction hit his face like a tidal wave. When he lowered his head, Yunli caught a glimpse of a pair of canvas shoes appearing next to him.

Yunli raised her head. He was a tall and thin boy who looked familiar. His eyes and hair were brown, but his facial features were soft and beautiful. Yunli was a little stunned for a moment.

"Sorry to disturb you." The boy said with a smile, "It's just me and my friend - we passed by here today, but he was a little shy and didn't come over."

He pointed to the auditorium. In the distance, among the ocean-like blue seats, a boy sat alone there.

The boy also looked at them. Yunli could only tell that his skin color was very fair, but he couldn't see clearly his appearance.

Yunli stood up.

"We've been here all day and I see you've been playing with this robot."

Yunli was a little shy in front of strangers, but when she heard what he said, she instinctively reacted: "I'm not playing, I'm training it!"

The boy was stunned for a moment and suddenly laughed.

Yunli was a little embarrassed and asked him: "Why are you laughing?"

The boy didn't answer her, but squatted down and looked at her robot: "This robot is quite cute. Did you build it yourself?"

Yunli said nothing and stared at him warily, fearing that one of him would accidentally break her treasure.

When he leaned forward, a pass slipped out of the boy's pocket and was placed in a transparent card holder. Yunli recognized that it was specially issued by the school to students of Western University of Science and Technology.

He is the captain of another team.

Yunli didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

When the boy saw Yunli staring at his pass, he thought she was curious, so he picked it up and gave her a look.

There is a picture of Ultraman on the ID photo.

“…”

The picture blocked his name, and only the word Yuan could be seen.

At that time, Yunli had not had much contact with men of this age group. She only felt that the man was gentle and rebellious. She took a step back and stared at him.

The boy picked up the small stone, stood up and threw it into the grass. An arc passed through it and the stone disappeared. He took out a small football from his pocket, with a smiley face drawn on it, placed it in front of her robot, and asked her: "Do you think this is suitable?"

Yunli looked suspicious.

The boy took a step back and said to her, "Try again."

Yunli operated the joystick, and the robot that had been stupid all morning moved forward two steps. When it came to pushing the football, it suddenly got stuck again.

The boy looked a little embarrassed and asked, "How about I give it a try?"

After struggling for a long time, Yunli handed the handle to the other party.

In the warm afternoon, the boy patiently told her how to control the robot and the direction of the ball easily.

After being able to move the small football with the robot, Yunli smiled for the first time since they met.

"I'm leaving. My friend is still waiting for me." The boy's soft features were dimmed in the light. Yunli picked up the small football and looked over again. The boy had run away, and there was a faint mark on his back. words starting with "U".

Yunli's eyes widened.

"wait-"

The call on his lips stopped, and Yunli stood looking at them.

I don't know when, the person who had been sitting silently in the audience also arrived at the entrance of the playground. They were about the same height and wore the same coat. The letters on the back were completely unclear.

Yunli never saw the other person's face clearly.

Such a hasty meeting was forgotten by Yunli in the shadow of time. Later, she focused entirely on her robot. In the competition, although her ranking was not high, Yunli won her first small trophy.

She placed the little football next to the trophy on the bookshelf in the room.
