"Has it really gotten smaller?" Xia Yuan seemed quite nervous. "And it's gotten a lot smaller?"
Lin Youxi rested her chin on her hand and thought: "Maybe it's because of the shaping underwear? Take it off and take a look."
"Afang is here!"
"It's not like you haven't seen it before, why are you suddenly so shy—"
"It's okay, it's okay! I won't look at it. Youxi, can you help me take a look?"
Mei Fang covered her face and fell on the bed as she spoke. Lin Youxi stood up, stepped over Mei Fang, walked barefoot to Xia Yuan and began to examine Xia Yuan.
Puff puff…
"H-How is it?"
"Hmm... Let me feel it again."
Puff, puff—
"Youxi, stop teasing me!" Xia Yuan said angrily.
"It does feel a little smaller, but it's much tighter, and it feels different when I rub it."
Lin Youxi smiled and said, "I heard that some people's physiques are such that when they get fat, their faces get fatter first, and when they lose weight, their breasts get thinner first. Maybe Yuanyuan is also this type, or maybe you have gained weight here, so the 10 pounds is not very obvious in your appearance..."
"Then why have I worked so hard and suffered so much for so many days..."
Xia Yuan is now trapped in nihilism, and is in a very lost state.
"What does it matter... small ones are cute too, look at me, I'm still living the same way, huh, huh?"
"Come to think of it, Youxi, you seem to have grown a lot recently!"
As Lin Youxi spoke, she began to talk back to Xia Yuan. The sound of the childhood sweethearts kissing each other made Mei Fang feel very uncomfortable. He covered his eyes and added his own opinion:
"In fact, size doesn't matter. As long as you can stay healthy, isn't it good to exercise? For example, I feel that I have been exercising recently and my spirits and complexion have improved a lot..."
"Isn't it because everyone's energy has been focused on fitness recently?"
While playing with Xia Yuan, Lin Youxi smiled and said to Mei Fang, "Yuan Yuan doesn't have to work out now, and I don't have to get up early to prepare a fitness meal. You'll have a hard time at night."
Mei Fang, who was lying on the bed, raised her hand and gave a thumbs up. "What's the big deal? I'm totally OK with it!"
"Then you have to help me too..." Xia Yuan muttered, "You have to be responsible for rubbing it back for me!"
It is said that in the following days, Mei Fang walked to school with the help of the wall. He insisted that it was because he had sprained his waist, but related gossip rumors were also rampant.
Recently, Mei Fang is considering the issue of what to do with Sago Studio.
Ximilu Studio now has two external identities. In addition to the officially registered company Ximilu Games, the other one is a social organization, a registered society of Jiangcheng Normal University No. 1 High School.
But in fact, this place has just become Mei Fang and his friends' private space at school, a place for them to meet, rest and occasionally replenish their energy.
Now it is almost the end of June and the club needs to renew its leadership. In fact, there is only one club secretary in the first year of high school, Junana.
During her entire second year of high school, Zhu Nana did almost no serious work except chatting with Mei Fang after class every day. Mei Fang valued her work enthusiasm and basically assigned her some rather tedious chores, which she did seriously.
But if Ximilu wants to continue as a student club, Junana's ability is obviously not enough. The only thing to blame is Mei Fang, who only used her as a junior assistant and did not train her as a planner at all.
Now the club has received a notice of change of leadership. Theoretically, Mei Fang, Xia Yuan, Lin Youxi, Liu Xiaoyu, Wan Chaoxiong and others should all quit the club when they reach their senior year, but if they all quit, Zhu Nanai will be the only one left in the club.
"So... do you think the society still needs to continue?"
Mei Fang wanted to hear Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi's opinions.
"Now that Ximilu Games is well-known, if we want to recruit seriously, it will be easy to recruit new students, but the time cost will be borne by ourselves."
Lin Youxi's opinion was against it. "If you don't consider cultivating your own reserve talents at Jiangcheng Normal University, and don't want to spend time training people, then there's no need for the club to continue."
"Didn't we want the club in the first place just to have more opportunities to spend time together at school, plus we were busy making games? Now there's no such need."
"I'm just thinking about the talent reserve."
People who have been passionate about the gaming industry since high school must be a group of gaming geeks who have loved playing games since childhood. While loving games, they were able to be admitted to the No. 1 Affiliated Normal University of Jiangcheng, which means that they have very good time management skills and outstanding talents.
Leaving such a club to absorb outstanding talents from Jiangcheng Normal University No. 1 is what Mei Fang really wants to do.
Xia Yuan fully supports this, "I agree with keeping the club... Even if it's not for the purpose of reserving talents, it's also a wonderful memory of our high school."
“I think it is very meaningful to leave these memories in the club classroom and come back to visit it when I have time.”
Lin Youxi nodded and said, "To be frank, it depends on your own ideas, Fang. Whether it is driven by interests or emotions, I think it is acceptable. It's just that we need to spend some time to cultivate talents so that we can pass on our experience in making games and the culture of the community."
After listening to Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi's words, Mei Fang thought again and again and decided that he still wanted to keep the club. The time spent on guidance was a one-time job.
"While I'm at school, I'll find some time to talk to Junana and see what she thinks. After all, there's no point in me doing it alone if there's no one to help lead these things."
Before this, Mei Fang had always been sitting in his seat in the class, and Zhu Nana would often bring her female fans or come alone to pay her respects to Mei Dog.
However, it is now the end of the semester and the review and preparation for the exams are quite busy, so Zhu Nana is seen less and less frequently. Mei Fang takes advantage of the afternoon break to look for Zhu Nana.
The first and second grade students of Jiangcheng Normal University No. 1 High School were not in the same building. Every time Zhu Nanai went to see Mei Fang, she had to run in between, and she always looked very embarrassed when she returned to the classroom in a hurry to catch the bell.
A boy like Mei Fang who is full of legends is still very popular in high school even if he has a partner. Especially in the first year of high school, there are many little fans like Zhu Nana in his class.
However, after Mei Fang rarely sang or performed on stage, the fanaticism of her fans has declined to a certain extent. Now only Zhu Nana still insists on promoting Mei Fang.
She often promotes some information about Mei Fang and his life photos in her Penguin space. Of course, her star-chasing and bootlicking behavior makes many boys in the class sneer at it. Zhu Nanai's classmate Chen Xubo is one of them.
As a student from a special prefecture who was admitted to the same school, he admitted that he did have a crush on Junanai, whose ranking and grades were similar to his, in junior high school. Because they often appeared on the school podium together, they did have some rumors.
But that's all in the past!
It must be admitted that Jiangcheng Normal University No. 1 is indeed a strong school with many hidden talents. The girls here not only have excellent grades, but also many are sweet-looking. There are many girls who are much better than Zhu Nana.
The girl Chen Xubo likes now is Xu Wei, who sits in the row in front of him. As a native of Jiangcheng, Xu Wei is a rich and pretty lady with a very gentle and pleasant personality, and is very popular among the boys in the class.
When Mei Fang was shining at the art festival before, Chen Xubo found that she seemed very calm. He knew that she was a girl with higher taste, different from those tacky girls like Zhu Nana, so he often chatted with her about art-related topics.
However, because he and Zhu Nana are from the same hometown, they are quite familiar with each other in the class, and he always goes to tease Zhu Nana from time to time.
"Why...Junaina-san, why didn't you go meet your idol today?"
"It's none of your business."
Zhu Nanai rolled her eyes at Chen Xubo in annoyance. She had been getting more and more annoyed with her fellow countryman recently. "He's been busy preparing for the exams lately. The classes are going to be divided into arts and sciences, and you're not worried."
"You actually still care about studying. I thought you only knew how to cling to senior Mei Fang and didn't even need to work hard yourself."
"Not everyone can hug the senior's thighs if they want to."
Junana said seriously, "It's not easy for a half-witted person with insufficient strength to stay with the senior."
"Isn't it just that he sang some pop songs because his girlfriend is a celebrity? What's the big deal? Making games is also a waste of time. If you have that time, you might as well study real art and create thought-provoking music and works."
This was not the first or second time that Chen Xubo had been so sarcastic that Zhu Nana was almost too lazy to pay attention to him.
"If you are so ambitious, go and get the Nobel Prize for Literature. I am just an ordinary person and I cannot appreciate the kind of art you are talking about."
"Of course I have my own self-knowledge. I just advise you not to indulge in such meaningless things. You should pay more attention to improving your self-cultivation..."
"?"
"roll!"
Zhu Nanai's roar was a little loud, and everyone's eyes were drawn to her. Chen Xubo suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He touched his nose and returned to his seat dejectedly, just in time to see Xu Wei drawing a little man made up of geometric shapes on his seat.
When Chen Xubo saw this, he exclaimed, "This little man is so cute."
Xu Wei said softly, "This is gloudy."
"This character has a very minimalist style, and it has charm with just a few strokes. You named it Gloudy, right? It sounds like an adaptation of Cloudy. Let me think about how to deconstruct it..."
Xu Wei didn't wait for Chen Xubo to finish speaking, and continued to draw a few little characters.
"This is Crow the crow, Grandiose the fishman, and everyone's favorite little cat Cathy, who helped Gloudy a lot."
Chen Xubo pretended to be very interested in listening to Xu Wei's description of an artistic role he had never heard of, thinking that he would go back to Baidu to check it out in the evening. After Xu Wei finished her enthusiastic introduction of her favorite role, Chen Xubo quickly changed the subject and asked:
"By the way, are you interested in watching the Shakespeare play this week? I just bought two tickets. They are hard to get. I had to ask my friends for help—"
"I... I have something to do this week too?"
Xu Wei was a little embarrassed, "You can ask someone else to watch it together."
"Ah, there's one today too. I thought you were interested..."
"Hmm... Actually, I'm not that interested—"
Xu Wei and Chen Xubo were talking at the moment when suddenly there was a commotion outside the classroom:
"Zhunai Nai, your Fang Bao is here to see you! Come out quickly!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Nanai immediately raised her head like a rabbit with its ears pricked up, and then she saw Mei Fangzheng smiling and raising her hand to greet her outside the window. Zhu Nanai immediately jumped out happily and ran to
"You actually came to see me alone... Is it because you haven't seen your junior for a long time and you started to miss me?"
Zhu Nana said as she pushed Mei Fang with a smile, "Senior is so dishonest now, have you reported it to Sister Yuanyuan?"
"That must have been said before."
Mei Fang didn't mind joking with Zhu Nana, but after that he changed the subject, "I came here today to talk to you briefly about the follow-up of the club. Aren't we all going to quit the club in our senior year?"
"Oh! I've actually always wanted to ask you this..."
Zhu Nanai and Mei Fang were chatting animatedly in the corridor outside the classroom about the follow-up plans of the club. Because there were so many people in Jiangcheng Normal University No. 1 High School, many first-year high school students had rarely seen Mei Fang and Xia Yuan on weekdays. Now they had the opportunity to observe Mei Fang up close, and everyone was secretly observing and discussing them.
"Is this the legendary Fang Bao? He's much more handsome than I imagined. I thought he was a domineering producer."
"You must have read too many romance novels. Where do all those overbearing CEOs come from?"
"Come to think of it, Nana seems to be the only freshman in the Sago Studio. Does their club only last for one term and then stop?"
"It's hard to say. It seems that they are here to talk about this today..."
Chen Xubo looked up at the boy who was regarded as an absolute idol by Zhu Nana from afar. He felt that he looked ordinary, and his appearance and temperament were not even better than his own. He thought that he was probably a rich second-generation who used his money to pick up girls and play games. He was about to complain to Xu Wei who was sitting in his seat, but Xu Wei had already disappeared.
When Chen Xubo came to his senses, Xu Wei, whom he liked so much and had so much to talk about, had appeared in the corridor outside the window. She listened for a while, and finally couldn't help but stepped forward to interrupt Mei Fang and Zhu Nana's speech.
"Um... Senior Mei Fang! I'm a loyal fan of yours. I really like the game "Cloud Journey" you made. I've been playing it over and over again recently. I bought a copy on Steam and C Station!"
Mei Fang didn't quite understand why she suddenly told him this. He scratched his head and smiled, "Thank you for liking it."
Zhu Nainai introduced, "This is my classmate Xu Wei. She likes to draw things by herself. When school started, she actually wanted to sign up for your studio with me, but you didn't even have a recruitment event."
"Haha... I didn't consider recruiting so many people at that time. After all, I couldn't bring them all in... I'm so sorry."
Mei Fang thought for a moment and then said, "But there are some changes to our club plan now. If you are interested, you can sign up to participate."
Xu Wei did not rush to respond to Mei Fang's words, but handed over her album respectfully:
"These are some fan works I drew by hand. There are some second-hand characters. I want to show them to you..."
"Hmm... Not bad, this is a Gloudy anime-ized 2D character, the drawing is very emotional... You also like to play games, right?"
Xu Wei nodded. "But I usually play games alone... I usually play stand-alone games. I like the feeling of communicating with the producers when playing stand-alone games. For example, in Cloud Journey, I saw a... well, a girl's transformation from a coward to a strong person. It's similar to some of my experiences. I like it very much, and I also want to make some works in a similar style."
"What a coincidence! The senior said that he is planning to reorganize the club and let us develop new projects on our own. If you are really interested, you can come and try to do art!"
"Is it okay? But I can only draw a few things, and I don't have any other skills related to making games... Compared with Senior Sister Guo Yun, I am really far behind..."
“That doesn’t matter.”
Mei Fang smiled and said, "When I first met Guo Yun, she didn't know anything. I taught her slowly and she soon learned everything. In addition, I really like your kind of art that has a sense of expression. Only in this way can you truly draw a character with soul..."
The lively conversation between Mei Fang and Xu Wei and Zhu Nana attracted many boys and girls to watch. Now that "Cloud Journey" is well-known, everyone is very interested in joining Ximilu Studio.
"Senior, can I sign up too?"
"Of course, but we will still interview you then."
"Senior, are you only recruiting cute girls? If I want to go, do I have to dress like a woman to get in?"
Amid the laughter, Mei Fang glanced at the boy with disdain, "What are you talking about... There is no gender discrimination here. Anyone who likes to make games can join. I just don't know why the proportion of girls in the studio is indeed higher."
"That's because you are so handsome! I am a girl and I like you too. Senior, I love you!"
The boys were much better at being cute and flirty than the girls, and everyone had a great time chatting together.
Xu Wei, the goddess who was always gentle and calm in Chen Xubo's heart, now turned into a brainless little fan in front of Mei Fang, looking at Mei Fang with eyes full of admiration.
Chen Xubo had followed Xu Wei to the corridor before. Looking at Xu Wei's expression, he tightly grasped the drama ticket in his hand, and was so angry that his back teeth were about to break.
It turns out that I’m not interested in songs, but games...
Forget it... No wonder you always refuse to go out with me, so this is why.
But…
Chen Xubo looked at the girl he liked, and an idea popped up in his mind:
No matter how charming Mei Fang is, he already has a girlfriend after all, so there is no chance for other girls to like him.
If I also play games with her, I will have more opportunities to interact with her, and maybe she will look at me with new eyes, right
Chen Xubo originally wanted to take advantage of the fact that Mei Fang didn't know him and sign up for the club interview, but he obviously underestimated Zhu Nanai's status in the club.
On the day of the interview, facing the interviewer Zhu Nainai's mocking words "Why don't you win a literature award", Chen Xubo was furious on the spot. Afterwards, he spread rumors to everyone he met, saying that Zhu Nainai was a stingy person who was seeking personal revenge. However, it seemed that his own bad reputation had always caused no one to pay attention to him. Later, Xu Wei was too lazy to deal with him or talk to him.
Before the summer came, Mei Fang recruited a team of about 10 people for the Ximilu Club. He planned to give them some training during the summer vacation to help them understand the game production process as soon as possible and complete the development of a small game as soon as possible.
Because it is a small game, it would be faster to produce it on a familiar framework. Mei Fang chose "Reign" which the studio had previously developed. This card game is easy to release DLC and it is also very easy to make a new chapter.
He thought that he could take advantage of this summer vacation to guide the new team to complete the development of "Reign: Three Kingdoms", similar to a summer camp activity.
If we don't count the amount of art resources, this is just the time cost of one week's work for Mei Fang. He can also train a large number of newcomers and quickly let the team taste the sense of accomplishment and sweetness of making games, which is the most important thing for them.
After that, he could happily and without any scruples continue to stick with his Yuanyuan Youxi. He also had to help Yuanyuan rub it back every night. The work he arranged every day was very hard and busy.
I like to post long chapters now, and there will be another chapter later.
