The friends continued to chat, Xu Youyuan touched the access crystal of the game, and listened without a word.
"It's boring, boring, and the same thing. I can't do anything. I'm tired from get off work and I don't want to move. I eat junk food all day on weekends. I feel sick when I eat it, and I just can't stop. Filled with rubbish, I want to live a healthier life, but I’m so tired, thinking about green organic food, calorie control, coarse grains… I feel exhausted from the bone marrow, and I can’t work hard to toss with it.”
"Just find someone to take care of you."
"Who are you looking for, I don't want to. My head hurts at the thought of starting over. And really, it's no exaggeration to say that I haven't liked it in a long time. Not for anyone, I mean everyone. I don't know. Is my heart numb as I get older, and now I only think about work and making money. If I ask my girlfriend which one to choose between getting rich overnight, I will definitely choose getting rich overnight!"
Everyone collectively agreed: "Getting rich overnight is everyone's dream."
"Really, I used to be young, with hormones all over my body, and I acted entirely on the basis of feeling. When it comes to falling in love, it's like being politically correct. Everyone worked hard. I found it, and then I found it inappropriate to live together. I can only barely continue to live."
Ah Gan warned: "This kind of behavior of yours is very dangerous.
Jiang Yun said indifferently: "There are too many middle-aged people who have broken up. We are almost finished with the people in this circle, and Shi Ye and Ah Gan are still maintained."
"Don't say it's suitable, it's hard to find someone who doesn't get upset. I think it's fine to live alone now. If I'm itchy, I'll find someone to take care of it. It's really good to be single, trust me. I think I play games all day, I eat whenever I want, and no one talks about it.”
"You age faster without sex."
"Single doesn't mean you can't have sex. If you're really uncomfortable, go find a wife in the game, and then go to the 'dark room' Rio Cannon, everything is solved."
"Wow, you are not afraid of getting sick. Only young people will go to places like the dark room." Everyone disliked and began to chat about various interesting things about the phenomenon-level app "Dark room".
Shi Ye found that Xu Youyuan was extraordinarily quiet today. Usually, she was the absolute central figure in the circle of friends. As long as Sister Bird arrived, she couldn't stop, laughing and scolding until late at night.
Today, Xu Youyuan seemed a little absent-minded since she sat down. Seeing that she was playing games from time to time, the black "R" mark on the crystal was connected to the crystal, which was obviously a "reshape the universe" connector.
It seems that this time the hurdle is a bit difficult to pass.
Xu Youyuan and Shi Ye are the same year, and are thirty-four years old this year. The two who have been classmates since elementary school are among the best friends who have known each other for the longest time and have the best relationship.
Shi Ye witnessed with his own eyes how Xu Youyuan, who had just graduated from college, was favored by SQUALL and was directly hired away with a high salary. Watching her drink tons of coffee, boil countless nights, move forward without hesitation against the questioning eyes of countless people, and finally make her own son "reshape the universe" into a world-renowned and popular one. Popular games have even led to a complete revolution in the game industry.
On TV and in newspapers and magazines, the youngest woman in the history of Fortune's rich list is still vivid to this day.
Similarly, when Xu Youyuan fell, she also saw it clearly.
Until now, only Shi Ye knew about Xu Youyuan's resignation from SQUALL. She specifically explained not to tell anyone else.
What happened to Xu Youyuan over the past year made Shi Ye unbelievable, and at the same time worried about the state of his friend.
Some time ago, I couldn't find her. Whether it's WeChat or video, they were all offline, and no one could even be found in the game. The offline time was as long as 12 days.
After finally seeing a living person, I can breathe a sigh of relief. Shi Ye found that Xu Youyuan's state was still not quite right.
"What's the matter?" Shi Ye leaned back, next to Xu Youyuan, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Don't keep everything in your heart, let alone play missing. ."
Xu Youyuan's eyes were round: "Don't be funny, do you think I'm someone who keeps things in my heart?"
"You really are. Your self-esteem is too strong, and you don't want to be soft in front of others."
Xu Youyuan smiled and said: "Isn't that just a little bit of a mess, everyone is upset sometimes. It just so happens that I don't have a job now, and I have no worries, so I gave myself a big vacation and went to Iceland to play around. ."
"I didn't see you posting pictures in the circle of friends."
"Isn't the resignation still a secret? I didn't tell my dad, and I don't want him to know. My mother's going to hit him too much, don't block him any more." Xu Youyuan pressed her elbow against Shiye. , "Don't be annoyed, I..."
Xu Youyuan was halfway through speaking, when she heard Jiang Yun raise her voice:
"If I find another girlfriend, I'll find a younger one."
Everyone laughed: "Old cow wants to eat tender grass? How small is small?"
Jiang Yun said: "At least seven or eight years younger. Young and passionate, with a little dragon on the bed and a little milk dog under the bed, with a variety of poses, naive and simple, and don't believe in anything but love and me."
Everyone can't listen to it anymore, even Shi Ye can't stand it: "Do you still want this old face? You can do it when you are seven or eight years old? Use your extra seven or eight years of social experience to deceive ignorant girls? Go out and say goodbye. Say I know you."
Jiang Yun was immersed in the fantasy of finding a little girlfriend. No matter how despised or teased his friends were, he would not admit defeat: "What's the matter, my sister has just been cheated on and is about to go bankrupt. I can't imagine it anymore?"
"Okay, fantasy is fantasy, just don't commit crimes."
"Is it a crime to find young people?!"
"Isn't it a crime to deceive people's feelings and delay people's youth? What else can there be other than a momentary passion, really want to live with a child?"
The frivolous ridicule finally made the atmosphere really liven up, Shi Ye and Jiang Yun fought each other, and the phone rang when they were so excited.
"Hey? Shi Yue, are you here?" Everyone looked at her when Shi Ye answered the phone.
"Shiyue is back?" Ah Gan asked Xu Youyuan.
Xu Youyuan: "How do I know, I'm not familiar with her sister."
Shi Ye hung up the phone, and Ah Gan asked her again.
Shi Ye said: "I came back in the summer and found a company in China. Now that the global environment is so bad, it's still a bit promising to go back to China to find a job. And I don't feel relieved at home alone."
"What did Shi Yue learn?"
Jiang Yun remembered: "Little sister learns what you hate the most."
"what."
"artificial intelligence."
"real or fake?"
Shi Ye looked behind the floor-to-ceiling windows where he could see the entire yard and the gate: "The full name is Pattern Recognition and Intelligent System, which is a little different from artificial intelligence."
"It's so cutting-edge. Are people here? Let us old aunties have a good experience."
Xu Youyuan turned her face slightly and glanced at the door, Shi Ye squinted and smiled, beckoning: "This way."
Shi Yue pushed open the door of the coffee shop and walked to her side, smiling sweetly at everyone, "Long time no see everyone."
Shi Yue is tall and has long legs, her waist is almost as high as her sister's chest, medium-length hair with slightly curled ends. Light makeup, big eyes and pink lips, and a sweet smile.
She was wearing a fruit-green jacket with the edge of a white T-shirt showing from the zipper of the jacket, and ordinary jeans on the lower body, with the knees ripped more exaggeratedly than the average person. Under his feet, he stepped on a pair of clover with white stripes on a dark blue background. It is indeed the dress that young people like, very concise, everything is mainly comfortable, and the whole youth is pressing. The strap of the backpack is slung over his right shoulder, and a book as thick as a brick with the logo of the city library is held in his left hand. Xu Youyuan didn't look at Shi Yue's face, and at the height she was sitting, she saw the striking title on the cover of the book - "The Development of Holographic Online Games and Immersive Entertainment".
Jiang Yun: "Ah? Are you Xiaoyue? Are you all this big?"
Friends were stunned. In their memory, Shi Yue was a primary school student eleven years younger than Shi Ye.
When she was a child, Shi Yue always followed her sister's buttocks. She was a little girl with a simple ponytail and always carried a large schoolbag with her special children's laptop in it. Children like to eat cones, and use the cones to deceive them. She sings very nicely. During the Chinese New Year and festivals, she was brought out by her parents to perform shows. Later, she was not very happy to sing when she was older. Shi Yue was rarely seen after she was in junior high school, and even after she was admitted to university and went abroad to study, she never had the chance to meet.
Unexpectedly, the little girl turned into a light mature woman in a blink of an eye. If she walked across the street alone, she would definitely not recognize her.
Shi Yue smiled at Jiang Yun: "How are you doing recently?" Her tone was casual, like greeting an old friend.
Shi Ye frowned slightly: "What's the matter, you are called sister."
Shi Yue kept smiling, not calling "sister" according to Shi Ye's words, carrying her backpack and unzipping the backpack while sitting between her sister and Xu Youyuan: "I wanted to come to get together as soon as I returned to China, but I was busy just now. The back of my head was about to be kicked, and I finally found an opportunity, but Shi Ye didn't let me come."
Shi Ye glanced at her with some doubts, and said while thinking: "What do you have to do with us old people, and we can't chat together."
Shi Yue didn't refute, she opened the backpack, took out all the wrapped gifts, and delivered them one by one: "It's a little hasty to prepare, don't mind."
A group of old aunts were overjoyed when they received the gift, and opened it on the spot, lamenting how long it had been since they received the gift, and they all forgot what it was like to tear the wrapping paper with anticipation.
"For you." Shi Yue gave Xu Youyuan a small square box wrapped in navy blue wrapping paper after a circle.
Xu Youyuan didn't take it immediately, and Shi Yue didn't put it down. The two looked at each other face to face, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.
"thanks."
After about five seconds of stalemate, Xu Youyuan finally took the gift.
Shi Yue's smile was sweeter: "I don't know if you will like it."
Xu Youyuan did not respond to her, nor did she open it on the spot like the sisters around her, but put it in her bag.
Jiang Yun received a watch that can measure body fat, Agan received a pair of contact lenses with navigation function, and everyone else bought popular smart products overseas.
Everyone rushed to Shi Yue with countless questions, asking her about her studies and her work, and Shi Yue answered them one by one with a good temper. For a time, the gathering of the old aunts finally filled up some vigor.
Xu Youyuan didn't join everyone's chat and went to the bathroom.
Seeing her gone, Shi Ye asked his sister, "What did you give your sister You Yuan?"
"Um?"
"What did you give? Huh?" Shi Ye's face turned cold.
Shi Yue: "… "
Xu Youyuan got up weakly from the warm toilet seat, a little upset. I don't know if it was because the menstrual period this month was more than a week late, and there was no movement. Auntie is playing a temper.
Coming out of the compartment, her waist and legs were still aching, Xu Youyuan was ashamed and annoyed, and cursed.
I walked over to the mirror and looked at my face carefully.
It still looks familiar, but the skin condition has become a little unfamiliar.
She was very willing to spend money on this face, and even if it was covered with a lady's foundation, she could still see signs of relaxation. The menstrual period failed to come as scheduled, but the acne was very active and never went away. Xu Youyuan touched it lightly and it hurt.
She was considering whether to go out and reintegrate into the sisters' reunion, or stay here by herself. I'm a little annoyed that I didn't bring the access point in, otherwise I could enter the game and spend some time.
Shi Ye didn't know when he appeared behind her, and he didn't go to the cubicle, just stared at her.
"Why?" Xu Youyuan was a little annoyed, she put her hand under the faucet, the sensor sensed it very sensitively, and the warm water slowly flowed out. The amount and speed of the water are very comfortable, and there is no splash on Xu Youyuan's clothes.
Shi Ye asked something Xu Youyuan didn't expect.
"You and my sister, did something happen?"
