On the day of the beginning of spring, Yuanyi’s second game “Against the Tracks” was officially launched.
Within three hours of its launch, the game had over 200,000 downloads and topped the action-adventure game charts that same day.
Related posts can be seen on various social software and game forums. In the discussion of content and strategy, there is a small detail that aroused the curiosity of players.
This game has a cruel overall positioning and style, but the opening background is a bright and beautiful full moon.
The light is gentle, but it makes all darkness dissipate.
There were many speculations and discussions among employees, but no one knew the answer.
At the celebration party, the young founder gave a brief speech and then left, taking advantage of the moonlight to go to the theater to attend the premiere of "Not on the Mountain".
Li Xuan didn't really understand whether a drama was good or bad. He just stared at Sheng Min on the stage and was moved by the emotions she displayed. Only when the scarlet curtain fell did he realize that he had just woken up from a dream.
At first there was an eerie silence, and then thunderous applause broke out. The emotional audience stood up unconsciously and burst into tears. They shouted the names of the main creators, one louder than the other.
The curtain opened again, and the main creators bowed and thanked the audience with flowers in their hands. Sheng Min stood in the center, with red gerberas and sunflowers in his hands shining brightly.
Gold powder and colorful ribbons fell on his body, but through the beam of light and the crowd, his focused gaze with a gentle smile was only looking at Li Xuan's eyes.
After the audience left, Li Xuan stood up and went backstage.
In the corridor, flower baskets of various colors were placed all the way, and he even saw one from Zhang Shan among them. After the press conference, Sheng Min and Dong Yi had no contact again, but for some reason, Zhang Shan did not release those photos in the end.
Amid the lingering fragrance of flowers, staff members pushed clothing and prop carts back and forth. It was busy but orderly and not too noisy.
Turning the corner in the corridor, Li Xuan heard Sheng Min's voice.
Opposite him was a very gentle old lady who was saying something to Sheng Min and patted his shoulder with an expression of emotion. Sheng Min nodded, leaned over and hugged her, then sent her to the elevator and said goodbye with a smile.
Turning around and seeing Li Xuan, his smile deepened.
As they entered the lounge and closed the door, they exchanged a kiss as naturally as possible.
This week he was busy with the launch of "Against the Tracks" and the upcoming release of "The Mountain". Sheng Min also had a lot of things to do. We haven't seen each other for two days, so it feels like a reunion after a short separation.
Sheng Min's hair was a little wet after she had just removed her makeup. A drop of water fell and melted into the collar of Li Xuan's ink-black coat.
"Was that your former teacher just now?" After they separated, their breathing was not very stable. Li Xuan calmed down and asked softly.
"In the future too." Sheng Min's fingertips brushed over the light water marks on his collar, and she looked at him with a smile in her eyes and eyebrows. "I have completed the procedures for returning to school. After this round of tour, I want to go back to school to finish my studies."
Li Xuan listened and kissed him again, then let go and said confidently, "This is considered a deposit."
"What deposit?" Sheng Min chuckled.
"Hire me as a driver to pick you up from school."
Li Xuan hugged his waist, rubbed his nose, and leaned too close. After not seeing each other for two days, it was easy to be distracted by a little intimacy, and gradually the meaning changed again, but this time he failed to do so and was interrupted by a knock on the door.
"I guess I didn't disturb anything?"
Yin Qianpin opened the door and greeted Li Xuan, looking very familiar with him. "Would you like to go to the celebration party together later? If you don't go, you will definitely seduce my male lead away."
When Li Xuan came to the theater to pick him up, he bumped into Yin Qianpin twice, but Sheng Min couldn't remember when they had any extra personal relationship, and acted so familiar. He looked at Li Xuan inquiringly, and the latter was very calm: "I listen to Sheng Min. If he doesn't allow me to go, it's not impossible for me to wait at the door."
"It's so cold, we still can't let investors stand outside." Yin Qianpin raised his eyebrows and handed over a file bag in his hand. "I knew you were coming today. It's just right. The stamp has been stamped."
Sheng Min heard something fishy and said hesitantly, "... What investment?"
"Sorry for the trouble." Li Xuan reached out to take it and handed it to him naturally.
In the file bag was a share acquisition agreement. Li Xuan bought 25% of the shares of the drama troupe. There was also a donation contract inside. All the acquired shares were donated to Sheng Min free of charge. Li Xuan had already signed his name in the donor column, waiting for Sheng Min to sign.
"Thanks to your CEO Mr. Li's generous donation, the purchase of the new office building was so smooth." Yin Qianpin joked, "Thank you, CEO Li. Otherwise, I would have to rob a bank."
Li Xuan smiled easily: "I hope Director Yin doesn't think I'm taking advantage of someone's misfortune."
As soon as Yuanyi’s crisis was resolved, Li Xuan began to discuss the matter of investing with Yin Qian frequently, but if it weren’t for the need for funds to buy a building, it wouldn’t have been so smooth.
"Mr. Li is very generous. I think it won't be a big problem if we do this kind of robbery a few more times." Yin Qianpin said solemnly. He heard someone shouting in the distance and looked at his watch. "I'll go over and make arrangements. I'll send the address to you on WeChat later. Come over early when you're done."
The sound of calling him was getting louder and louder, and it was clearly Deng Jing's voice. Yin Qianpin responded impatiently, "Stop calling him," and hurried away.
"Have you made a fortune?" Sheng Min paused for two seconds before speaking.
Li Xuan laughed and stretched out his hand to pinch his face: "I found a treasure."
"I think you are a treasure." Sheng Min said softly, and it was hard to tell whether he agreed or not. He casually rolled up the valuable contract in his hand.
"I have to do this." Li Xuan explained to him, "I know that you and Yin Qianpin are working together happily now, but it is too difficult to determine what the future will be like. If he was just a director, maybe it wouldn't be necessary, but he is also the boss of this drama troupe. In addition to being an artist, he is also a businessman... In any case, Dongyi's incident cannot happen again."
"What else?" The question was unclear, but Li Xuan knew that he was talking about another contract. "Can't you be sure about it?"
Li Xuan smiled but didn't answer. He slowly moved closer. Sheng Min tried to dodge but failed to get away. He pinched the back of her neck and made up for the interrupted kiss. He whispered into Sheng Min's ear, "It's because I know you too well, so it doesn't matter who holds it."
It doesn't matter who you give it to, he always hopes he can get more.
"Silly boy." Sheng Min felt her eyes a little swollen. She blinked twice quickly and hugged him tightly.
The celebration banquet was held in a newly opened glass restaurant, serving fusion cuisine. The taste is a matter of personal preference, but the wine was good and the night view was even more beautiful.
Some of the troupe's staff knew Li Xuan's identity and glanced at him with scrutiny and curiosity, but their smiles were full of kindness.
The great success of the performance made everyone very excited. The drunken artists asked the waiters to bring various musical instruments and sang old songs one after another, talking about friendship, love, and many years...
There was constant laughter and music, and people kept coming to chat with Sheng Min. Deng Jing took him to watch the fireworks blooming in the night sky.
Li Xuan did not stop him. He leaned leisurely against the window with a glass of wine, smiling indulgently and gently, watching Sheng Min talking to the people around him.
It was already late at night when the show ended. Both of them were drunk, so they left the car in the parking lot and gave the keys to the waiter to be returned the next day.
Fortunately, it wasn’t far away, so we held hands and walked slowly home.
"Li Xuan."
After walking slowly for a while, Sheng Min suddenly called him.
"What?" He turned his head away.
"You're so nice." Sheng Min gently shook his arm, "It's great to have you."
"You're the best." Li Xuan pinched his chin with one hand and tilted his head to look at Sheng Min's face, "Are you drunk?"
Sheng Min looked at him with watery eyes, a little puzzled for a while, then leaned over and kissed Li Xuan on the lips: "... Probably not."
Li Xuan was watching Sheng Min at night, and Sheng Min didn't even drink two glasses of red wine. He didn't know that Sheng Min had such a low alcohol tolerance.
He suppressed a laugh: "A little, I think."
"Nonsense." Sheng Min whispered to him.
"Yeah, I was just kidding."
Sheng Min laughed again and happily pulled Li Xuan forward. Not far away, when they passed a small bus stop with lights on, Sheng Min suddenly stopped.
"Want to take the bus back?" Li Xuan asked.
Sheng Min looked at him with a bit of grievance without saying anything.
"What's the matter?"
"Do you remember?" After a long while, Sheng Min said, pointing at the platform sign, "It was here that you called me up fiercely and scolded me, saying, 'Wait for me to carry you?'"
Of course, this was not the same platform, but Sheng Min was drunk and couldn't tell the difference. He imitated Li Xuan's tone at that time, but his voice was too soft and not quite similar.
"I wasn't very fierce then, was I?"
"Very fierce." Sheng Min said in a low voice.
"Then can I carry you on my back now?" Li Xuan coaxed him softly, squatting in front of him, "Come, I'll carry you."
Under the light, Li Xuan's back looked so stable, it was really a huge **. Sheng Min thought for a while, then slowly hugged his neck: "If it's heavy, just tell me."
"It's not heavy." Li Xuan carried him and walked slowly forward.
It was too late and there were no pedestrians on the road. It was quiet and the only sound one could hear was the wind blowing through the willow branches. After a few gusts of spring breeze, new buds would grow.
In this way, he walked to the downstairs of the community. When he looked up, he could see the lantern on the balcony. Sheng Min hung it up last week, and Li Xuan held the ladder for him.
Among the thousands of lights, there is finally a home that belongs to them.
"Sheng Min." Li Xuan asked him softly, "Next month, the International Game Innovation Conference will be held in the United States. Yuanyi has already received the invitation letter. I plan to go by myself. Will you accompany me?"
"OK."
Li Xuan's Adam's apple moved, and his voice was unusually tense: "After we go, maybe we can take a day off..."
"Um?"
Sheng Min felt that he seemed a little nervous, and subconsciously leaned her head to touch his cheek in comfort. However, Li Xuan quickly took two steps forward, put him on the bench, and took out an exquisite box from his coat pocket. Sheng Min felt a chill on his knuckles, and when he looked down, he saw a ring, which was already on his ring finger.
"Shall we get married?" Li Xuan asked in one go, even after he had put the ring on someone's finger.
"good."
Sheng Min answered without thinking, not minding his disordered order, but frowned slightly after answering, and said hesitantly, "But..."
"But what?" Li Xuan's heart was heavy.
The scent of unknown plants surrounded them. Sheng Min picked up the other one and carefully put it on Li Xuan. She asked him in a low voice, a little embarrassed, "But, didn't we get married a long time ago?"
Under the moonlight, Sheng Min seemed to be glowing with a gentle light. Li Xuan was startled, then smiled silently: "Yes, we got married a long time ago."
So Sheng Min also smiled, took Li Xuan's hand, asked him to sit next to her, and lowered her eyes to look at the wedding rings on their hands very seriously.
He was really drunk. As he watched, he fell asleep with his head resting on Li Xuan's shoulder, but he didn't let go of his hand.
Li Xuan kissed Sheng Min's forehead lovingly, picked him up and walked home.
In the dark sky in the distance, the bright moon hangs high, looking down upon everything in the world with an inclusive gaze.
And Li Xuan's cloud and moon had already fallen into his arms.
He used to get everything by fighting, snatching and exchanging.
He doesn't believe in fate and thinks that fate is meant to be resisted and broken.
Until I met Sheng Min.
It turned out that fate had prepared such a person for him, who belonged to him willingly without him having to pay any price.
His broken soul became complete only after recognizing him.
The light stayed on Sheng Min's temples, leaving a hint of silver. Li Xuan felt so at ease and certain that they would accompany each other until the day they witnessed each other's gray hair.
"Where have you been for so long?" Li Xuan tilted his head and kissed the ring on Sheng Min's hand. Looking at his peaceful face as he slept, he thought of the irretrievable lost time and couldn't help but ask softly.
After saying this, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Since when did he gain the qualification to show weakness
He smiled unconsciously, not expecting an answer. However, Sheng Min's lips moved slightly in his arms.
It was low, like a dream talk, and Li Xuan listened carefully to hear it clearly.
Sheng Min said, I have been waiting for you.
The end.
The author has something to say:
After five years of writing, this is the first article to have over 10,000 views. Thank you everyone.
I spent five very lonely years with no success in writing. I often questioned myself in the dead of night and thought about giving up writing many times. Every article was the last one for me. Even when I was writing "Meeting You", I thought about giving up many times.
I am a writer without talent, and can only rely on hard work. A plot that readers can finish in ten minutes takes ten hours to write, and I have to overturn and start over again and again. It is because of my insignificant sense of responsibility and desire to express myself that I was able to complete the manuscript.
During the process, many readers kept leaving messages expressing their disappointment, and I was powerless to do anything. It was like I wanted to write a sweet story, but ended up with a poor result.
But I still love and appreciate Li Xuan and Sheng Min. They accompanied me through a very lonely time. Next, they will live their beautiful lives. And I will continue to write, even though the gains are not worth the losses.
Thank you all for your company along the way. We will meet again if the chance arises.
