Everyone had to pack up and go home the next day after the party. Only less than half of the people got up in the morning.
When Xiang Bingbing, Yue Xinyi, and Guo Yun came downstairs, Lin Youxi was already busy preparing breakfast. Seeing everyone coming over, she simply greeted them:
"Morning."
"Youxi got up so early." Guo Yun smiled, "Have you started preparing breakfast? Do you want to help?"
"No, no, I'm almost done. I wanted to call you when I went downstairs, but I was worried that you were sleeping well, so I thought of calling you later."
Today, she made a combination of ham omelette and milk. Xiang Bingbing smelled the fragrance and moved closer to Lin Youxi, "Woo woo... Youxi, you are such a good cook. This smells so good, right? I envy Ah Fang so much."
"I don't cook every day. Sometimes Ah Fang will help us make breakfast."
"Speaking of which, Mei Fang and Yuan Yuan haven't gotten up yet?"
Yue Xinyi asked curiously, and Lin Youxi replied, "After all, they had so much fun last night, they are too tired."
"That's right... it's quite interesting to see Mei Gou lose in swimming."
Yue Xinyi was holding her chin and thinking about what happened yesterday. At this moment, a sound came from the stairwell, and Liu Xiaoyu yawned and came downstairs.
"Good morning... You guys got up so early..."
"You call this early? It's almost ten o'clock."
Yue Xinyi put her hands on her hips and stared at Liu Xiaoyu and said, "Xiaoyu, did you play with your phone very late last night? No matter how I called you in the morning, you couldn't get up."
"Ah... yeah, kind of."
Liu Xiaoyu pulled her hair and said, "I was so engrossed in watching a movie that I forgot the time..."
"Staying up late is bad for your skin. You should pay more attention to skin care."
"Yeah... I know."
Liu Xiaoyu unconsciously met Lin Youxi's gaze as he spoke, but quickly turned his head away guiltily, "Um, um, do you need help with breakfast?"
"No, I've prepared everything, let's eat together."
The girls enjoyed breakfast happily together. Xiang Bingbing, who was still not satisfied, saw that Lin Youxi had left two servings. She wanted to reach out to take the plate, but was hit by Lin Youxi.
"This is for Ah Fang and Yuan Yuan. You can't eat it anymore."
"They haven't gotten up yet, and I don't know when..."
"Bingbing, I'm just repeating this to you - no."
Lin Youxi's narrowed eyes and smiling expression frightened Xiang Bingbing, and she could only shrink back in shame.
It was just after 10 o'clock when Xia Yuan and Mei Fang slowly walked down the stairs. Yuanyuan had to be supported by Mei Fang while walking. Everyone looked at her in surprise as she sat down, except Liu Xiaoyu, who lowered his head to play with his mobile phone.
"Yuanyuan, what happened to you? Did you fall somewhere?"
"Yesterday, I caught a cold last night and my legs are cramping."
"Have you bent it back?" Guo Yun asked seriously, "If you haven't, you will probably be in pain for a long time."
"Um... Yeah, yeah, that's how I feel now..."
Xia Yuan was grimacing in pain even when she sat down, and Lin Youxi brought her breakfast.
"Miss Yuanyuan, please enjoy your meal."
"What, what a strange name you are..."
Xia Yuan was about to scold Lin Youxi, but he found that Lin Youxi was looking at him meaningfully. He immediately lowered his head guiltily and started eating.
Mei Fang was enjoying his breakfast as usual, and he couldn't help but find it a little funny when he saw Bingbing looking at him with eager eyes and drooling.
"Did you miss breakfast? Why are you so hungry..."
Mei Fang was about to share some with Xiang Bingbing, but was stopped by Yue Xinyi halfway. "She has already eaten. You should eat it yourself. Youxi made breakfast for you. Do you want to be scolded?"
"Youxi is not as stingy as you think, right? Youxi?"
"No, I'm just that stingy."
Lin Youxi smiled at Mei Fang, "I specially left this for you and Yuanyuan, but you still want to share it with others. Do you think my cooking is not delicious?"
"No, no! How is it possible..."
Mei Fang always felt that Youxi's tone of voice was a little strange today, but he didn't think much about it and ate up the loving breakfast prepared by Youxi in just a few bites.
But after eating, he remembered something else.
"Speaking of Zhang Ming—"
At this time, Zhang Ming was limping over in slippers, "Um, what... is there anything to eat—"
"Oh, I forgot to leave one for you, sorry."
Lin Youxi apologized to Zhang Ming expressionlessly, and Zhang Ming waved his hand and said it was okay, "Do you have any bread or something? I just need some to fill my stomach..."
"Yes, yes. I remember there were some cookies and other things in the refrigerator yesterday..."
Liu Xiaoyu ran to the refrigerator and got some food for Zhang Ming. They ate, drank and chatted while yawning with some tiredness from yesterday.
At this time, Mei Fang started chatting with Xia Yuan about Yuanxia Music.
"According to our current product matrix development, we at Yuanxia Music can't always just release your new songs. We also need to complete other tasks. Otherwise, you will be under a lot of pressure to create, and Yuanxia Music can only revolve around you, and you may not have the time."
“I don’t think this is a good idea either.”
Xia Yuan thought for a moment, "So when you were talking about games with Yunyun yesterday, you asked me to listen too. Are you planning to let me start making music like you did with Yunzhizhilv?"
"Well... you don't have to be the main person in charge this time. After all, you have a new song yourself."
Mei Fang's eyes fell on Liu Xiaoyu who was standing beside him. "Xiaoyu, do you think you can take responsibility?"
Liu Xiaoyu taught herself accompaniment music with Xia Yuan in high school. Liu Xiaoyu participated in and played a leading role in Xia Yuan's first album and some of the BGM of "Journey of Clouds", but overall she was just Xia Yuan's deputy.
She was a little surprised to be asked about being the main composer. "A new project's composer? What kind of project is it?"
"I'll send you the information when we get home, but don't be too anxious to start because we still have to wait for our art master Guo Yun to finish the concept design."
Guo Yun explained, "I will do it as soon as possible... but it will probably take at least a month."
"Then you can try to experience the few soul-related games we used as reference."
Mei Fang thought for a moment and said, "You may not play games very often, so just watch it on your laptop. If you want to experience it, you are welcome to come to my house to experience it. However, it is best to come when Yuanyuan and Youxi are here, otherwise it will be inconvenient."
"I, I know... I can try."
Liu Xiaoyu nodded, "It's just... I may not be able to do it very well..."
"It's okay, Xiaoyu, just do your best."
Xia Yuan nodded and said, "When I first started, Ah Fang also complained every day that the rhythm was wrong here and the tone was not right there, but didn't the OST of Cloud Journey sell nearly one-tenth of the original version in the end? As a digital collectible, this is already quite a lot."
"You're making it seem like Xiaoyu has to meet this target, too. Don't put pressure on her."
Mei Fang tapped Xia Yuan on the head, then hugged her and said to Liu Xiaoyu, "Now the entire Yuanxi Interactive Entertainment needs to take the path of commercialization and formalization, and Yuanxia Music also needs to expand accordingly. In addition to Yuanyuan's own efforts, I think more can be delivered to you, Xiaoyu."
As Mei Fang was talking, he looked at Xiang Bingbing on the other side, "In addition, I also hope that Bingbing and the future Peng Xue can join us. You were all asked by Yuanyuan to form a band before, but you still haven't had a chance to try it out."
Xiang Bingbing, who is always carefree, confident and radiant, now seems a little reserved and shy. "Yuanyuan is now a nationally famous star, and Xiaoyu has been helping Yuanyuan since high school. I am just a novice in drumming."
"It doesn't matter whether you are a novice or not. What matters is talent and practice. I see that you play the drums quite well, Bingbing..."
Liu Xiaoyu said gently, "But in fact, Xiaoxue is already a very famous folk singer now. We both really need to work harder."
"Well, is there anything I can help with for the game's soundtrack? I'm also interested and would like to help make something."
Xiang Bingbing said seriously, "When I was in high school, I liked a lot of things, such as photography and basketball. I studied a lot of different things, but I didn't pay much attention to any of them. However, now I plan to work hard..."
Xia Yuan patted his chest, looking very confident, "After all, I am the music teacher of a well-known independent game producer. You can trust me! Hehe..."
"Look at what you can do..."
Mei Fang rubbed Xia Yuan's little head. The close relationship between the two was very enviable, but it also caused Yue Xinyi some doubts and confusion.
When everyone was getting ready to go home, Mei Fang offered to take Guo Yun to the station, so the two parties did not go back together, and Yue Xinyi, Xiang Bingbing, Zhang Ming and Liu Xiaoyu took the bus together.
In the car, Yue Xinyi also raised her doubts.
"You... don't you think that even though Mei Fang and Lin Youxi broke up, their relationship is still good?"
"… "
Yue Xinyi's words silenced everyone, because Liu Xiaoyu and Xiang Bingbing didn't know whether Zhang Ming knew this secret or not, so they didn't dare to directly tell him the secret of the threesome. Zhang Ming, on the other hand, remained calm on the outside, but he was already very happy in his heart.
"Well... that's not normal. They have been childhood sweethearts for so many years. It's not like you don't understand."
I understand, I understand...
Youxi has said it before, even after breaking up, they still have a lot of fun together.
But it’s normal for Youxi to have fun, but why is Yuanyuan... Well, it seems like she’s also having fun
"I remember that when I first visited the suite on the third floor, there was only one bed. Even if they were exes, it seemed—"
"puff."
"why are you laughing?"
Zhang Ming, who was sitting in the front row, shook his head and said, "Nothing."
Yue Xinyi punched Zhang Ming on the head.
"Oh, stop hitting me, stop hitting me, I'm telling you—"
The driver in the car was an outsider at the moment, but he didn't seem to pay attention to the content of the conversation between the few people. Zhang Ming sent a private message to Yue Xinyi, explaining the whole story.
"I'm super, I..."
Yue Xinyi was shocked. "Is this true or not?"
"Of course it's true. If you don't believe me, ask them."
Yue Xinyi turned her head and looked at Xiang Bingbing and Liu Xiaoyu who were sitting upright beside them.
"Did you know about this?"
“Zhang Ming, how can you just say that…” Xiang Bingbing endured it for a long time without saying anything.
"Mei Fang told me about it, but I forgot to tell this guy. I never had the chance. I just remembered it and asked me to tell her. You see, I'm not lying to you."
Zhang Ming showed everyone the chat history between him and Mei Fang. Yue Xinyi turned her head woodenly and looked at Xiang Bingbing and Liu Xiaoyu standing beside her.
"So, you already knew about this?"
Xiang Bingbing and Liu Xiaoyu looked at each other, and then nodded with some difficulty.
"Afang told me this when I was traveling in Shenlongjia."
Xiang Bingbing muttered, "You didn't go that time, so you don't know how obvious they were. In fact, they were clearly showing their cards."
"Where's Xiaoyu? When did you know?"
"I… "
This matter is still a bit embarrassing. Liu Xiaoyu was silent for a while and then said, "I knew it when I was a sophomore in high school."
"They started doing this in their second year of high school?"
"Specifically... I can't really say."
Liu Xiaoyu shook his head. "It was because I just happened to see it that I knew about it so early."
"Oh my god, Xiaoyu, you are really tight-lipped. I can't tell at all that you have so much on your mind."
Xiang Bingbing said seriously, "If I have any secrets in the future, I will definitely tell you."
"Don't tell me, please."
Liu Xiaoyu shook his head and sighed, "I'm really tired. I can't keep any secrets anymore."
"Xiaoyu, it sounds like you have some hidden meaning in what you said... What other secrets do you know?"
"I told you it's a secret—"
Liu Xiaoyu tried hard to push away the curious baby Xiang Bingbing, "You have your own secrets, so keep them to yourself."
“But it’s really fun to say it out loud.”
Xiang Bingbing smiled and said, "I confessed my feelings to Ah Fang last time in the car, right?"
"ah?"
"Ah? Tell me more."
Xiang Bingbing's words once again shocked Yue Xinyi and Zhang Ming. "You really confessed to Ah Fang?"
Xiang Bingbing scratched her head, "I guess so... Youxi asked me and found out that I like Ah Fang very much?"
"Then what?"
"And then... I forgot."
Xiang Bingbing pushed Liu Xiaoyu who was standing beside her, "Do you remember? What was Ah Fang's reaction at that time?"
"Do you really want me to tell you, or do you not want to recall it?"
Liu Xiaoyu frowned, "After all, it's a failure scene."
"I really forgot, please tell me what you have to say."
"that is… "
Liu Xiaoyu paused, "He said he was a two-timing scumbag and told you not to like him. Just look at Youxi and Yuanyuan and you will understand."
"Ah, yes, yes, that's what he said."
"That sounds like something Mei Gou would say."
He nodded to Bingbing and then let out a long sigh of relief.
"But I think that the two of them are living happily like this, aren't they? If only one is chosen, it would be really painful. It would be painful for both the chosen one and the abandoned one."
Zhang Ming also nodded and said, "After all, they grew up together as childhood sweethearts and have long been inseparable."
"Although this result is shocking, it is normal for the three of them."
Yue Xinyi also sighed, "That's right, my mood is a bit complicated."
"Why is it so complicated? Do you think since two people are fine, it's okay to add you in?"
"Go to hell! I'm just angry that I found out about it last. Youxi really doesn't consider me a friend..."
Yue Xinyi was arguing with Zhang Ming, while Xiang Bingbing and Liu Xiaoyu fell into silent silence, and no one knew what they were thinking.
