After writing the requirements document for the food game and sending it to the collaboration system of the project team, it is already dawn. Xu Youyuan fell asleep and slept until the afternoon when she was awakened by her father's phone call.
Xu Yishu called and asked her why she didn't reply to WeChat, for fear that something would happen to her.
Xu Youyuan rolled over on the bed sleepily, put her feet into Ah Shuang's soft stomach, and said lazily, "I was sleeping, I didn't see your WeChat."
Xu Yishu said, "It's already half past two in the afternoon, how do you sleep?"
Xu Youyuan smiled and said, "Noon nap."
"Okay, I don't know you yet? When did you take a nap since you were a child?" Xu Yishu said earnestly, "It's okay for young people to stay up late, but they can't stay all night. Do you want to die suddenly?"
Xu Youyuan changed the subject: "Now you will say that I am a young man. You can say a few more words for me to listen to."
"Don't be too aggressive, how are you doing recently? I saw in your Moments that you have a little assistant. Have you returned to work?"
Xu Youyuan's circle of friends has never been closed to parents. Parents can let them see if they want to see it. It is generous, and there is nothing shameful anyway. Before same-sex marriage was allowed, many gay friend circles kept parents out, just because they didn't want to let them discover secrets inadvertently.
Xu Youyuan is very fortunate that she can have a civil union of the same sex when she is in her twenties, and her aunt is gay, and her father's best friend is also gay, so when she has the idea of falling in love and confirms her sexual orientation, Her parents didn't object much, and she had no reason to close her circle of friends.
"I didn't go back to work, but I picked up a few new game projects."
"Really? Do you work for others?"
"Forget it, Canglu, do you remember? She helped me find a job and was helping her play games."
"Remember, it's the tall girl who wipes her red lips every time, right? The first game you played in high school was to follow her, and it's her who brought you into the game."
"That's right, it's her."
Xu Yishu sighed: "She can still reuse you in your current situation, but she has to remember the goodness of others, and repay Xiao Cang when she has the opportunity in the future."
"That's for sure, don't tell me, don't worry about it. How are you doing? I don't have time to watch, and I don't know if you have been drinking secretly."
"Just kidding, my daughter said she wouldn't let me drink it, how could I still drink it."
"How much is a day? Twenty taels?"
Xu Yishu giggled: "That's more than that, two taels per meal."
"Okay, how about three meals?"
"What's the point of a life without drinking, hey, don't worry, I'm sure I won't drink too much, and I won't fall down again, okay? By the way..." Xu Yishu turned a corner here, and Xu Youyuan knew it The purpose of his call this time is definitely not just to talk about it casually, "Have you been in contact with Xiao An recently?"
"Xiao An? She went abroad after the divorce. We seldom contact each other and are busy with each other. How can I mention her well?"
"Didn't I just mention it casually? It's been a while since I thought about your divorce. Do you have any thoughts now?"
"what idea?"
"Remarriage, it's impossible to live alone like this, right?"
"Oh, Dad, what are you in a hurry? How long has it been since I got divorced, so you're thinking about it." Xu Youyuan didn't expect her dad to call this time to urge the marriage.
"Why don't I think about it? I care about my daughter. Hey Youyuan, have you read the news recently? It is said that women and women can also have children. The volunteer seems to have successfully conceived, and now I am waiting for her. Let’s make further observations after the baby is born safely. If this research is successful, maybe you will have time.”
"what?!"
"Look, you're only thirty-four years old, and you're fast researching everything now. When you find a suitable object and then start a family, maybe this research has already been implemented and can be put into practical use. Let's count it in three years. After three years, you will only be thirty-seven years old, and you are not too old. If you want to have a child, it is still too late."
"Stop it, Dad, what are you studying all day long? To tell the truth, have you been drinking again now? Why do I hear you talk more and more and you're not looking good?"
"It's not a formality, so what is a formality? Although getting married is no longer your women's top priority, it's still a big deal. You don't think it's a big deal when you're young now. When I'm gone, if I'm too lonely, it's hard to find a partner." Xu Yishu said, "I can see it clearly when your mother was away. People just need a partner, no matter if they are male or female. You have to find a partner. A person who can accompany you for the rest of your life, at least someone can talk when you are lonely."
Dad has said this, Xu Youyuan has nothing to refute, she can only say yes, and wants to suppress him temporarily.
"Don't be perfunctory all the time, let's just give me some time. Like you said, I don't drink more than a few taels a day, you also give me a time limit, when can I find another girlfriend to show your dad Look?"
"Dad, it's not like you don't know about your daughter's situation. She is a blacklisted person in the whole industry. My gossip is everywhere on the Internet. When I go back to my hometown, the neighbors all say that I am going to jail, right? Who dares to be in my situation? My girlfriend? Even if someone dares, I don't have the nerve to drag them into the quagmire. And I'm not thinking about it right now." Xu Youyuan said every sentence that was piercing the truth.
"That's all rumors, and Canglu is also helping you. You are not a homeless person now. You still have social relationships even if you don't stay at home. Choose carefully among these social relationships, don't be too picky, and find a suitable person. , at least stay with me first, right, you…”
Xu Yishu still had a hundred words to say, Xu Youyuan hurriedly conceded: "OK, OK, I'll look for it, find it and tell you. I have a video conference right now, so I'll hang up first. ."
"Do what you say, Dad is waiting for your good news."
Xu Youyuan forced a smile and ended the call.
Xu Youyuan did not expect divorced people in their thirties to be urged to marry. It seems that the matter of marriage has nothing to do with age or sexual orientation, it is just a local feature.
Xu Youyuan fell on the bed, Ah Shuang came over to eat, Xu Youyuan tapped its nose, and said to herself:
"What does it mean to choose well, don't be too picky... If you want to get married, of course you have to choose the best knot. Ah Shuang, don't you think?"
After hanging up her father's phone, Xu Youyuan went to brush her teeth and wash her face and came back, wearing a serious business suit on the upper body and loose pajama pants and slippers on the lower body. After nodding in the project team of the food game, she initiated a holographic video conference.
This meeting is only projected on the desktop. Xu Youyuan believes that it is not only her, but other people must wear how comfortable their lower bodies are.
Xu Youyuan is very particular about work efficiency. After an hour, the important matters and development cycle are determined. The meeting is over, and everyone is busy.
Tao Xiaoyu came to cook dinner for her, and when she entered the house, she saw the new refrigerator.
"Mr. Xu, did you post it? Isn't this the legendary refrigerator that can do everything except cook in person? It's more than 60,000 yuan, you are really willing."
"Really? So powerful?" Xu Youyuan replied casually.
After Tao Xiaoyu opened the refrigerator, he was surprised to see the mountains and valleys full of ingredients.
There are brand logos on all meat, vegetable and fruit packaging. Tao Xiaoyu looked at these logos and looked suspiciously at Xu Youyuan, who always asked her to grab special food at a fixed point:
"Mr. Xu, no matter how difficult life is, you have to plan well, but you can't break the jar."
"What are you thinking, it's all from a friend."
"Ah? What friend? I'll give you something to eat in the refrigerator?"
Xu Youyuan thought about it and found it funny: "Why not, sincere friend."
With so many high-quality ingredients, Tao Xiaoyu happily cooks.
After that, Xu Youyuan spent two hours in the gym, and when she came home in the evening, she received a WeChat message from Shi Yue, asking her if she had woken up.
Xu Youyuan was happy when she saw it, and replied, "It's already 6 o'clock in the afternoon. Do you ask me if I got up at this o'clock?"
"Well, let me change the question, did you eat meat after getting up?"
Thinking of the huge amount of meat, fruits and vegetables that Shiyue brought in in the middle of the night yesterday, and the 66,000-sixty-sixty-sixty-sixty-sixty-sixty-five-year-old refrigerator, she felt a big head: "Of course I eat it, I can eat it for a year."
"How can you eat for a year? You are too underestimated by your food intake, at most a month. Eat it quickly, and I will give you a fresh batch after eating."
"Don't, don't, I'll buy it myself, why are you giving these? And that refrigerator... "
"Xu Youyuan." Shi Yue interrupted her, "When you say this, do I want to mention how much the Xu Xian appearance you bought for me cost?"
Xu Youyuan: "You can't be a hooligan if you disagree."
"Don't say it, I'm the best at playing hooligans. By the way, I heard that you have a party tomorrow night?"
"What party? Who did you listen to?"
"Listen to what my sister said, didn't you read WeChat? They said that tomorrow night is still the same place to eat, Bo Aoxuan."
It was only then that Xu Youyuan remembered that the chatting in the group of friends was too wild in the past two days, and Shi Ye and the others chatted more than 3,000 things in half an hour. Xu Youyuan happened to be in a meeting, and she couldn't stand the shock of her mobile phone, so she temporarily blocked the group, and even forgot to turn it on to this day.
After listening to Shi Yue, she entered the chat group, and indeed saw the news that they would meet at Bo Aoxuan for dinner tomorrow night. The amazing thing is that Canglu actually took the initiative to say to go, and said something he wanted to say.
Xu Youyuan had some ominous premonition and asked Shi Yue, "Are you going too?"
"Go, my sister specially asked me to say that her car broke down, let me drive, and take her home by the way."
Xu Youyuan really felt that Shi Ye, the traitor, was going further and further on the road of betrayal, and the more he walked, the more determined he was.
"Okay, then let's see you tomorrow night. But there's something I need to ask you."
"Um?"
"When you meet my sisters, don't talk about our secret missions, okay?"
"Why, afraid that they will laugh at you for being rude?"
"No way... I'll tell you later."
Shi Yue put down her mobile phone, how could she not know that in the eyes of the public, the Dark Room APP is a software for dating a gun that goes down three ways. Serious people would never tell others that they were playing in the dark, let alone Xu Youyuan, who was so sullen.
Shiyue is the earliest developer of Darkroom. The prototype of Darkroom APP is actually an idea she had when she was in college. At that time, a senior at the school asked her to make an offline dating app, preferably before Halloween, to facilitate the friendship between the two departments.
Shi Yue quickly came up with the initial idea of the APP, and the earliest version was made by her alone.
Shi Yue also found it very interesting that the dark room was in the limelight on Halloween, and began to slowly ponder, optimize many details, add more functions, and gradually become an APP that is now popular all over the world, and then established NCOUNT.
When she returned to China, she moved the headquarters of NCOUNT back to China. Although the company she founded herself is generally favored by the industry, it is also recognized as having potential. Unfortunately, because of the suspicion of hitting the edge, it is still relatively conservative in China. The reviews are not very good.
She never told her family that the secret was from her, and she didn't want her family to think that her little daughter, who had always been well-behaved and pinned all her hopes on it, didn't do anything serious, and even tossed out such a thing that was not suitable for children.
And now the dark room is in the transition period, and it will not be too late to tell the family when the transition is successful.
Of course, hiding from Xu Youyuan at first, there is actually another layer of deeper concerns.
It's rare today that the company has nothing to do after six o'clock, and Shiyue plans to go find some food.
She had no appetite all day, and the terrifying face and tone of the female ghost Xiaoxiu were still circling in her mind, making her sick to see everything.
After sending a WeChat message with Xu Youyuan, my appetite improved a little. When I went out, I happened to meet A Biao, the leader of the horror-themed project team. She called A Biao over and said:
"Mr. Biao, our horror scenes are really scary and professional, but I have a little suggestion, can we just be scary and not disgusting?"
A Biao said, "Mr. Shi, are you going to experience it yourself?"
"Of course, in such an important season, I definitely have to play the game myself. Not only do I want to experience the experience, but I also want to participate in the final competition stage and win the championship."
"If you have this idea, Mr. Shi, I have to remind you of something." A Biao said very seriously, "Mr. Huang and I estimated that there may be more than 10,000 teams entering the final competition stage next year. .As far as I know, many top professional clubs in the world have sent teams to join this season, all of them are going for the final championship, and they are all masters who abuse people without blinking. If you want to play, it's fine. But if you really want to win the championship..." A Biao smiled and didn't say anything.
Although he didn't finish speaking, Shi Yue knew what he wanted to say.
Shi Yue nodded: "Well, Mr. Huang has already told me before."
"You just know what to do. I'll go to work first."
Shi Yue has long known that it is not easy to win the championship this season. It is precisely because so many top players have joined the competition that the championship is more valuable. The possibility of being able to exchange for the best account that reshapes the universe on Caps higher.
Can she directly assign the champion to Xu Youyuan? sure.
But if she does so, she will destroy the entire darkroom project, and even the entire NCOUNT, leaving her friends who follow her to start over in the country with nothing.
This is not her dream alone, but the dream of a large group of people. She has no right to treat other people's dreams as gifts to please anyone.
And when Xu Youyuan learned that her efforts in the dark room turned out to be just a joke, their relationship would be on the verge of irreversible collapse.
So she can't do this. What she wants is to fight side by side with Xu Youyuan and win the championship through hard work.
This road is indeed full of challenges.
But even if there are many top players, her partner is by no means inferior to anyone else.
**
Jiang Yun deliberately made a video with Xu Youyuan and asked her why she disappeared, and the group did not reply.
Xu Youyuan said that she had been with Sister Lu recently and was a little busy with the project.
"Sister Lu responded to the call of the party as soon as possible, okay? Bo Aoxuan at 7 o'clock tomorrow night, don't be late."
"Row."
Xu Youyuan looked in front of the mirror. Although she was busy with work and games, she was a little tired, but she still looked good. With the blessing of exercise and fitness, Xu Youyuan felt that she looked better than the two. A few months ago, I was taller and straighter, and the lines of the whole person were much more refined. Although there should be fine lines at the corners of her eyes, she doesn't care too much.
If you are in a good mood, the whole world will be different.
At 6:45 p.m., Xu Youyuan drove to the parking lot of Bo Aoxuan. This time, she was lucky, and there was an empty parking space.
Parked the car and got off, and saw that the person in the car next to him also got down. His blonde hair was sprayed with a navy blue splash effect, and his head was small and tall. Xu Youyuan glanced out of the corner of the eye and thought it was somewhere. model coming. The model shouted:
"Xu Youyuan, why did you pretend you didn't see me?"
It was Shi Yue, Xu Youyuan was a little embarrassed: "I really didn't recognize you..."
Shi Yue always wears light makeup, but today's makeup is a little thicker. She even went to the beauty store to ask the designer to help take care of it. It took two hours to come out. Shi Yue originally thought that the time was too long, but she didn't expect that Xu Youyuan's eyes were uncontrollably and a little straight, she was proud, and swayed her new spring coat over to Xu Youyuan.
Shi Yue was wearing a thick scarf, but her windbreaker was very thin. She did not hesitate to show her beautiful legs at any time, and the ice and snow were still exposed, which made Xu Youyuan's knees hurt. Shi Yue's skin is white to translucent, and even if she gets blonde hair, she doesn't violate the harmony at all.
"Aren't you cold?" Xu Youyuan asked her, "Just wearing such a thin trench coat?"
Shi Yue leaned into her ear and said, "My windbreaker has an automatic heating system in it. Don't look thin, it's actually very warm."
It sounded like nonsense at first, but Xu Youyuan thought of the AI and laboratory she saw at Shiyue's house that day. Does this automatic heating system make sense
When Shi Yue saw Xu Youyuan pondering seriously, she laughed with a "poof": "You really believe it."
Xu Youyuan's expression didn't change, and she was still thinking: "No, I'm just thinking that you are dressed so well today, where should I knock you from?"
"Don't, beating people no matter how you meet, so violent."
"How is the decoration of your house? Have you been staying in a hotel recently?"
"Shh, my sister is behind, don't be overheard by her, let's go in and talk."
Shi Yue and Xu Youyuan whispered side by side to the restaurant, and when Shi Ye took the bag out of the car, the two had already walked several dozen meters.
"These two white-eyed wolves!" Shi Ye had a very real feeling of being abandoned.
The box where the sisters Xu Youyuan and Shiyue Shiye walked into the box, Jiang Yun stood up from the chair as soon as they entered the box, and greeted them warmly:
"Sister Bird, you are finally here! This is Xu Youyuan, have you ever played in reshaping the universe? It's from our Sister Bird."
Xu Youyuan saw that Jiang Yun was introducing herself to a strange woman. The strange woman was sitting in the corner with long black hair and glasses. She looked in her early thirties.
"Hello, Miss Xu." The strange woman said, "I've admired it for a long time, and I finally met my idol today."
Okay, Xu Youyuan understood the atmosphere at once. Just why are you rushing to get a party, and dare Jiang Yun to introduce her a girlfriend
When Jiang Yun stood up, she gave up a seat beside a strange woman. She walked to Xu Youyuan's side, supported her back, and wanted to lead her to sit beside that person.
Before Xu Youyuan could open her mouth, she saw a golden light flash across her eyes. Shi Yue slammed into the seat next to the strange woman, stared at the man's face for a long time, and finally said:
"Are you Wang Min from Twelfth Middle School?"
The man said embarrassedly: "No, you have mistaken the person."
"You are, you are, aren't you Wang Min who read a love letter to the senior at the opening ceremony?"
"I'm really not Wang Min. My name is Jiang Xing."
"Jiang Xing? Oh, I'm sorry, I made a mistake. You and Wang Min are so similar, even this pair of glasses are of the same brand."
"Glasses are a new product of our company... "
"Tiger glasses, I know your boss, Xi Maozhong."
Jiang Xing was taken aback, Xi Maozhong was really her boss: "Do you know him?"
"Yeah." Shi Yue took out the phone's WeChat address book, pointed to a person who frantically sent him WeChat, and said, "It's him."
Jiang Xing glanced at it, it was really the boss. She has been wanting to talk to her boss about her promotion recently, but she didn't take the chance. She didn't expect to meet a noble person here.
When the two chatted without anyone else, Shi Yue sat down and didn't leave.
"What's this kid doing..." Jiang Yun originally wanted to introduce Jiang Xing and Xu Youyuan to know each other, to have a date or something, but the place she had reserved for a long time was occupied by Shi Yue, and she was not good at chasing others.
Shi Ye and Xu Youyuan sat beside Shi Yue, and Jiang Yun, who was still standing, asked, "Where shall I sit?"
Shi Ye slanted her: "Sit where you like to sit."
Jiang Yun: "…"
In front of Xu Youyuan is the ordering screen, but her mind is not on the menu. She peeks at Shi Yue from time to time and Jiang Xing, who is frequently talked about drinking water.
When this child's whole body is put on others, it is still a little cute.
