After confirming the outsourcing of art coordination, Mei Fang has been very active in providing Guo Yun with art documents and reference ideas. Although Guo Yun is extremely inferior offline, she is very easy to get along with online. The two of them cooperate harmoniously online, but for Mei Fang, work has become busy.
It would take at least years for a person to complete an independent game with a relatively large budget, not to mention that Lin Youxi had high expectations for "White Plum Time".
"There must be the innocence of childhood, the innocence of adolescence, the love of adolescence, and in addition, there must be some ups and downs, stories of life and death, which can make people cry and have some"
"You need to outsource a full-time copywriter and plot planner for me!"
"You are the chief planner, can't you do everything?"
Mei Fang's little cutie Lin Youxi suddenly appeared from Mei Fang's arms, lying on Mei Fang's legs and looking up at him.
"And if you didn't write the story, it wouldn't be clean."
"What do you mean by unclean..."
"Because you and I are both characters in the original story. If we write it ourselves, we can incorporate all the small materials we collected before into it. The same goes for our feelings towards Yuanyuan."
Mei Fang listened to Lin Youxi's muttering and suddenly stopped typing.
"Yes..."
"how?"
Mei Fang pinched Lin Youxi's face in his arms and said, "Don't lie here."
"Do you feel uncomfortable? Or, too comfortable?"
As Lin Youxi spoke, he pulled Mei Fang up from his body, sat on top of her, and gently stroked her cheek.
"I want to communicate with you further, not just kiss and make out."
"Only if you stay with me."
Mei Fang asked seriously, "Will you be my girlfriend?"
"I don't want to."
Lin Youxi said as she kissed Mei Fang lightly on the lips, "Dating is so tiring, and you have to cater to the other person's mood. Why don't you pursue happiness with me?"
As soon as Lin Youxi finished speaking, Mei Fang hugged Lin Youxi and began to get intimate with her.
…
After the two of them had been intimate in the living room for a while, Lin Youxi, with a messy hair, lay on the sofa, looking at Mei Fang who slowly stood up from in front of her, panting and mumbling:
"It's all my fault that Ah Fang has been led astray. Why has he been so proactive recently? Even after all that, he still refuses to do it... It's a bit disappointing."
"… "
Mei Fang remained silent and didn't say much. He just reached out and pulled Lin Youxi up. "I'm a very traditional boy."
"And then?"
“My first love can only be experienced by the person I love.”
"Good boy! It's a tradition here, right?"
Lin Youxi stretched out her leg and kicked Mei Fang, then stood up with the help of Mei Fang. Mei Fang greeted Lin Youxi and said gently, "It's time to take medicine."
"Okay..."
Lin Youxi sat on the sofa and kicked her legs, boredly looking at Mei Fang who was about to deliver medicine to her, and then her eyes slowly...
"I say, Alfon."
"Even if that's not possible, I can still help you relax like we did last time in the hot springs, right?"
"Need not."
"Why are you being so polite to me? Didn't you resist last time?"
"Student Lin Youxi, please think carefully about what our relationship was like when we were in the hot spring last time?"
"Ah, they are a couple."
Lin Youxi immediately muttered and bit her fingers, "So, last time I could have done that, but I missed it—"
"Then can I be your girlfriend for another day?"
"It's not that good."
Mei Fang smiled at Lin Youxi and said, "Team building is a special case. If you want to date me, it will take at least half a year."
"Not even three months?"
"No, it's too short."
"Okay then... I'll think about it."
Mei Fang was somewhat curious about the change in Lin Youxi's attitude.
"Didn't you say before that you would never date me?"
"I don't want to date you because I think you deserve better, but I don't think you'll be able to find someone anytime soon, so—"
Lin Youxi's shy look made Mei Fang feel that she loved him so much, so she quickly went over to be intimate with Lin Youxi, and then handed the medicine to Lin Youxi to take.
Recently, Lin Youxi has not had any obvious side effects from taking medicine. Of course, it is also possible that she is just enduring it. Every time Mei Fang accompanies Lin Youxi to take medicine, she will hold her hand and stay by her side, and only slowly let go when she sees that there is nothing wrong with her.
"Oh, Youxi, I think I'm almost done with this box of medicine. Can I just buy it according to the packaging?"
"No, I can buy it myself." Lin Youxi took the bottle from Mei Fang. Mei Fang smiled helplessly at Lin Youxi, "I know your medicine expenses are not small, but we live together after all, so let me share some of the cost, just like paying rent."
"I need you to help me with my work. Hiring a nanny is much more expensive than you." Lin Youxi hugged Mei Fang's neck, "If you really love me, please treat me to a barbecue today. I haven't had barbecue and beer for a long time. I want to go out and have a good time."
"Oh, yes."
Mei Fang recalled that when they first met Lin Youxi, she kept pouring beer for her. "You used to like drinking beer, but I don't think you drink much after we started living together."
"I drink to drown my sorrows. I have nothing to worry about now that I have you."
Lin Youxi pouted at Mei Fang, "Are you attracted by me?"
"You, you..."
Mei Fang pinched Lin Youxi's nose and said, "What a bad woman."
"Hehe, that's good to know."
"But, I really love a bad woman like you."
"… "
Lin Youxi smiled and pinched Mei Fang's cheek, "You actually like being bullied by me so much, you are really amazing."
As agreed just now, Mei Fang accompanied Lin Youxi to eat barbecue at a street night market food stall in the evening.
The company's plan to make a lot of money failed, and Mei Fang's salary was only enough for one person to live a decent life;
Although Lin Youxi's salary at Penguin is not low, she still has exaggerated drug expenses, and her rent and living expenses are not low. Now she has to prepare the final payment for the art and subsequent music outsourcing, so Mei Fang will have to save money in the future.
Mei Fang has saved over 200,000 yuan from his work over the years, but this was originally intended for him to buy a new house in his hometown to improve his living environment. It could be considered as money for his wife, but there is no need to keep it at the moment. If game development requires so much cost, Mei Fang is still willing to spend it for Lin Youxi.
The two of them were chatting and laughing as they strolled around the night market near the community. Pengcheng's nightlife is rich and colorful, with street stalls selling barbecue, casserole porridge, crayfish, and fly-in restaurants where crowds of people gather, all filled with the smell of fireworks called the world.
Lin Youxi and Mei Fang, who were born in a small county, felt very close to this rustic atmosphere. Shopping in such a night market was like returning to their hometown in Baimei County. Soon Lin Youxi was attracted by the fragrance on the side, took a fancy to a barbecue restaurant, and sat down at the stall outside.
“Let’s eat here!”
"OK… "
After Mei Fang sat down, he called the waiter who was busy not far away: "Hello, waiter, take the order."
The waitress had short hair. Although she was completely without makeup and looked a little dusty, her facial features were quite regular. Her narrow and long eyes had a kind of sharp beauty, and she had the feeling of a spirited young girl.
She looked to be about the same age as Lin Youxi, but her expression seemed very indifferent. She did not come over immediately after Mei Fang greeted her. She only took the menu and handed it to Mei Fang and Lin Youxi after she had cleaned up the table.
As soon as Mei Fang received the menu, Lin Youxi came over to order food.
"10 skewers of each of lamb, pork, chicken, and beef! Then two skewers of dried meat and grilled sausage. I wonder if this small skewer tastes good... Are you good at eating leeks? Have one serving of that, too..."
"There are only two of us, why are you eating so much?"
"I haven't eaten out in a long time. I'm hungry!"
Lin Youxi and Mei Fang were flirting while ordering, which made the waiter very impatient. "Please be quick, other customers are rushing too."
"Why are you in such a hurry? It will be ready soon!"
Mei Fang obviously didn't want Lin Youxi to continue to embarrass the waiter:
"Um... Let's do this for now! Beauty, help us get two more bottles of Snow Pure Draft."
"Two cans? No, I need a dozen!"
"Hey, why did you drink so much?"
The waiter showed an impatient expression again, "I just pressed one dozen to place the order."
"Hey, wait, you..."
Before Mei Fang could finish her greeting, the waiter left without looking back.
Lin Youxi was very upset when she saw the waiter's cold attitude. "Ah Fang, why don't we stop eating here? We are customers and we haven't offended her. Why is she giving us such a cold shoulder?"
"Her attitude is indeed quite cold, but this store is doing pretty good business. She must be very tired after a busy day. Don't be too picky with her. It's not easy for everyone."
"You are just like that, you have the same good temper and personality as Yuanyuan, so you are easily bullied."
Lin Youxi held her chin with her hand and looked at her lover helplessly, "Luckily you met a bad woman like me who still has a conscience. If you met another bad woman, I'm afraid she would eat you up without leaving any bones."
"How can it be so exaggerated... Look at what you said."
Mei Fang patted Lin Youxi's thigh as she spoke, "I think it's a bit unreasonable for us to show our affection in front of others."
"Our Ah Fang is so cute that he dares to touch me casually."
Lin Youxi smiled sweetly, "I feel like I'm nurturing a boyfriend. Should we also have this kind of nurturing experience in our game?"
"I know, I know."
The orders placed by Mei Fang and Lin Youxi arrived one after another. Mei Fang sipped beer and toasted with Lin Youxi while enjoying the delicious barbecue.
"Hmm... To be honest, the BBQ here tastes really good... No wonder there are so many people lining up. It's just a food stall, how can it be... how can it be so delicious! Haha! It's so refreshing to drink cold beer in the early summer!"
"Don't drink too much... I'm so weak, I won't be able to carry you when the time comes."
"Why are you worried about me? I can't get drunk. Have you forgotten what happened that day? I dragged you to my house, and you almost passed out drunk."
Although Lin Youxi didn't get drunk, his pale cheeks turned slightly red after drinking beer, and his personality became much more talkative.
Mei Fang had been chatting with Lin Youxi about random things, but her eyes would occasionally fall on the waiter beside them.
The meticulous Lin Youxi noticed Mei Fang's unusual behavior at a glance, and immediately glanced at the waiter in a childish manner.
"No wonder you didn't want to leave just now, you're attracted to that girl? Hiccup!"
"What nonsense!" Mei Fang knocked on Lin Youxi's head, "I just think she looks a bit like a classmate of mine."
"Was she your secret crush when you were in school?"
"That's not the case..."
"If not, how can you remember it so clearly?"
Lin Youxi counted on her fingers, "Junior high school classmates... It's been almost 15 years now, right? Unless you guys are still in touch."
"This is not related at all... Oh, forget it, don't think about it, just keep eating... Ah, why are they gone?"
"I ate it all, hehe."
Lin Youxi smiled at Mei Fang, "Come to think of it, Ah Fang, didn't you have any secret crushes before? In junior high and high school."
"Let me think..."
Mei Fang thought about it and said, "If I have to say one of them is from high school, it still counts."
"Tell me about it. What kind of girl is that child?"
"She's just... very dazzling, can dance and sing, has won the top ten singers, and is my deskmate. In short, she's a very outstanding girl with a good personality."
"She sounds like the goddess of the class."
Lin Youxi thought for a moment, "Our Yuanyuan was also so popular in elementary school. I said that if you were Yuanyuan's elementary school classmate, you would also like her. But why didn't you get together?"
"I don't think we've reached that level of liking each other."
Mei Fang touched her nose and thought for a while. "She has many wide-ranging interests and hobbies, but we just have some things in common. She is very friendly to everyone, including me, but we are closer because we sit at the same table. Um... that's all."
"Then, when I saw her performing on stage and waving to the crowd, I felt that I was very far away from her..."
"Afang sounds so self-deprecating."
Lin Youxi patted Mei Fang's shoulder and comforted him, "You don't have to be like this. I think you have always been very good. Maybe if you had confessed to her, she would have agreed to be with you."
"There's no point in that assumption. Anyway, she and I will never meet again."
"That's hard to say. We haven't seen each other for more than 20 years. How could we meet now?"
"I knew you in high school... You're the top student in our high school, who wouldn't know you?"
"Then why didn't you fall in love with me at that time? Was it because I was not good-looking?"
Mei Fang shook her head frantically after hearing this. "How could I dare to do that? I felt that you were even more distant than she was, and we had no intersection. Even if I knew you at that time, I wouldn't dare to raise my head and say hello to you."
"But now you can pin me down and bully me, you know?"
Lin Youxi sat down next to Mei Fang with a chair and clinked beer cans with him. "Ah Fang, you are much better than you think. You just don't dare to say love out loud because you are afraid of getting hurt. That's why you have never found true love. Do you think I am right?"
"wrong."
Mei Fang hugged Lin Youxi and clinked glasses with her, "Hasn't this found true love now?"
"I can't be called a suitable true love, but I think you, my high school classmate, are quite suitable."
Lin Youxi gulped down a can of beer, then pinched Mei Fang's face and said, "Go find her again. Maybe she liked you back then, too."
"It's been so many years... Are you kidding me?"
Mei Fang and Lin Youxi were enjoying their meal when they were interrupted from time to time by the obscene discussions of several middle-aged men at the next table:
"Brothers, let me tell you, the girls at the club I went to recently were all really hot! Every girl had a model-level figure, it would definitely be worth it if you went there!"
"What's the index? I care more about this. I've discovered a lot of mines recently, all of which are auntie's fields. I'm sick of it."
"The average is 666, all three routes are available, I guarantee you'll have fun, come with me next time, it's my treat!"
"Fuck! Fuck!"
Several middle-aged men, either with big bellies or with pointed chins and monkey faces, always discuss foot washing and massage whenever they get together. They talk about their romantic affairs in a very ostentatious manner, causing the customers at the tables nearby to be secretly amazed.
"Even if I am no longer with you, Ah Fang, you can't go to such unclean places and become a greasy man, do you hear me?"
Lin Youxi pretended to look aggrieved, "I don't want to see our Ah Fang become a man with a big belly."
"What are you talking about... What do you mean I don't have you anymore? Don't talk nonsense. I didn't ask you to agree to be with me, but you still want to run away."
"I really want to run... but I can't bear to..."
Lin Youxi was held in Mei Fang's arms, feeling both happy and a little helpless.
"The more intimate we are, the higher the sunk cost will be, and the more you will like me. When I torture you when I get sick in the future, the more you will want to stay away from me."
"But you like me more when you are sober, don't you?"
"I still hope that we can break up peacefully..."
Lin Youxi muttered, "I really don't want to torture you when I get sick."
"We haven't even been dating yet, how can we break up peacefully?"
Mei Fang started to joke with Lin Youxi while talking. At this time, a bald middle-aged greasy man at the next table waved his hand and called the waiter over:
"Girl, come here!"
"Want to add anything?"
The waitress came to the table with the menu.
"Give us another case of beer, and then some—"
The middle-aged man here was ordering, and the man with a pointed face and monkey cheeks next to him began to carefully look at the waitress. When she turned around, he slapped her hard on the PG and said with an obscene laugh:
"Hahaha, girl, you have such a nice butt and you're pretty, it would be a shame if you didn't become a JS!"
"How much money can you make as a waiter here? Do you want me to take you to Luohu to see the world?"
"Haha, Lao Liu, you're up to your evil tricks again. Don't drag other good kids into this."
"I just feel sorry. Girl, if you come with me to Luohu, I promise you will have delicious food and drinks. A monthly salary of 100,000 yuan is better than earning a few thousand yuan this month—"
Before the wretched man with pointed chin and monkey cheeks could finish his words, the waitress who had been photographed by him before immediately walked up to him, without changing her expression or heartbeat, and slapped him hard in the face. The crisp sound even silenced the whole scene.
"You little fucking bitch, you're just talking for fun, but you're actually using force, huh?"
Faced with several middle-aged men surrounding her, the waitress remained calm:
"You were the first to do it."
"You lost a few pieces of your flesh when you took the photo of PG. How much do you think you are worth? You beat my brother's face so hard that it was swollen. Do you think we can just let this go?"
"What else?"
The waitress was about to leave without paying attention to these middle-aged men, but one of them grabbed her wrist and said, "If you don't apologize to us today, you still want to leave?"
"Are you fucking sick? Why should I apologize to you?"
The waitress tried to break free from the middle-aged man's pull, but several middle-aged men blocked her and wouldn't let her leave.
At this moment the shop owner also hurried over, rubbing his hands and asking what happened, but was pushed to the ground by one of the big men. Seeing that they were coming at him aggressively, the boss didn't dare to say anything more, but just pulled the other party to stop making trouble.
Seeing the waitress arguing with several customers and the situation escalating, the customers nearby just watched. A few who wanted to step forward to mediate were held back by their companions - they all looked a little drunk and who knew what kind of trouble they might cause.
At this time, Mei Fang approached Lin Youxi who was standing beside him:
"Youxi, stay somewhere far away. If things don't go right, report it to us."
Lin Youxi shook her head and grabbed Mei Fang's wrist. "You want to help, right? You can't do it alone. I have to go with you—"
"Listen, I have to make sure you're safe before I can act with confidence. I'll regret it if I get you involved."
Mei Fang smiled at Lin Youxi, "Besides, I don't want to fight with them. How can I beat them? I'm just trying to reason with them. Just trust me first."
"Um… "
Lin Youxi nodded worriedly.
At the same time, several drunken men approached the waitress.
"Sister, you slapped my buddy today. We brothers have always shared happiness and difficulties together, so today each of us will slap you back. Tell me... is this reasonable?"
"… "
The waitress lowered her head and muttered.
"Um?"
"… "
The waitress muttered again.
"I didn't hear what you said—"
The middle-aged man leaned over to listen to the waitress's words. The waitress immediately knocked him hard on the head and yelled at the middle-aged man who was squatting on the ground with his forehead in his hands:
"I said—"
"It's your mother!"
The waitress's extreme behavior immediately aroused the rage of a big man nearby. He waved his fist and was about to hit the waitress in the face. At this moment, a mobile phone suddenly took a photo of the big men in the face, which made the big man immediately retract his hand and pointed at Mei Fang and threatened:
"What are you filming? Don't film! I'm telling you... you, you better mind your own business. If you continue filming, you'll end up with a bang!"
"We are now living in a society ruled by law. If there are any problems, we should solve them calmly and not hit people at every turn."
Mei Fang slapped his face and explained:
"It's not good to be in jail if you win or be hospitalized if you lose, not to mention you bullied a girl. If this gets out and becomes a hot topic, it will have a bad impact, don't you think? Let the girl go first. Have you forgotten the lesson from the Tanshan incident last time?"
This incident happened not long ago last year. Although the men were a little drunk, they were obviously just friends and not gangsters at all. After Mei Fang's reminder, they all felt a little scared. The bald man in the lead had already shown the intention to stop.
However, at this moment, the man with a pointed chin and monkey cheeks who had been slapped by the waitress before obviously did not calm down his resentment. He picked up a plastic stool and smashed it towards Mei Fang's face.
"Don't worry about your business, just get out of here!"
Mei Fang was about to respond when a crisp "pop" sound suddenly came from the side.
While Mei Fang was attracting attention, the waitress had already gotten away at some point. She was seen holding a half-empty beer bottle, pointing at a few middle-aged men and shouting:
"You want to fight? Come on! Kill me if you can! I only have one life, so I won't lose if I trade it with you Pengcheng people!"
Although everyone had been having conflicts and disputes before, they were just minor fights and there were no strong men present. Who had ever seen such a terrible momentum
Even the man with the pointed chin and monkey cheeks remained silent at this moment, and the stalemate was soon broken by the sound of sirens—
This was Mei Fang's companion Lin Youxi who took the initiative to report J when he saw that something was wrong. After JC arrived, Lin Youxi immediately ran to Mei Fang to check on him.
"Are you hurt? I hit you just now, are you okay?"
"It's okay, it's just a plastic stool."
"You've got a broken skin here... I'll put a Band-Aid on it for you later."
"Well... let's wait for JC to handle it first."
Because the impact of the dispute was limited and no one was seriously injured, the police mediated on the spot. Mei Fang and Lin Youxi also completed the on-site record as important eyewitnesses.
At this time, Mei Fang noticed that the waitress had a lot of blood on her hands because of smashing the beer bottle just now, so she immediately walked up to her and asked:
"Your hand is bleeding a lot, why don't you go to the hospital or clinic for treatment?"
The waitress nodded gently, "Just wipe it off, I'll go by myself later."
"Do whatever you're going to do later now!"
"… "
The waitress shook her head and said, "I haven't finished get off work yet. I need to get full attendance today."
This... What kind of consciousness is this for a working person? Even Mei Fang, a social animal, couldn't help but sigh and complain. Lin Youxi beside him also advised:
"Making money is not as important as life. You should go now! Are you afraid of retaliation? How about this, we will go with you."
So the waitress took Mei Fang and Lin Youxi to a clinic not far away.
After all, Mei Fang was the first and almost the only person who came out to mediate the fight, and the waitress's attitude towards him was much friendlier than when he took the order at the beginning.
"You were the ones who helped call the police just now, right? Thank you... Thank you."
"It's okay, it's okay. Let me check on your condition first."
Mei Fang also sighed and said, "This matter has just passed. I don't know if they will cause trouble for you in the future."
"It doesn't matter. Today is my last day of work. I will quit tomorrow and stop working here."
"So it was her last day at work, no wonder she was so cold to us."
Lin Youxi was joking with Mei Fang in Baimei County dialect, when the waiter suddenly interrupted and reminded the two in their dialect:
"I understand."
"Old, old fellow?"
Lin Youxi seemed very shocked, and then she remembered Mei Fang's behavior just now, so she raised her head and looked at Mei Fang's face, "You really know her?"
The waitress seemed surprised: "We know each other?"
Mei Fang nodded, "It just feels like... um, is your name Peng Xue?"
The girl nodded in disbelief. "I haven't been back to Baimei County for many years. How do you know me?"
"We were classmates in junior high school, but I guess you don't have much impression of me. The only thing is that my homeroom teacher is—"
"Don't mention that idiot's name. It makes me want to vomit."
Peng Xue smiled at Mei Fang. "I really don't have any impression of you. What's your name?"
"Mei Fang."
"… "
Peng Xue frowned and thought for a while. "I really don't have any impression. You are probably a good student. I am a bad boy. After dropping out of school, I have basically been working in Pengcheng. People who have no skills and no education are like this."
"Don't say that... It's not easy."
Peng Xue shook her head and smiled, "I've been here for more than ten years, but I ended up like this. I'm sorry to make a fool of myself."
"Thanks for your hard work."
"Oh, Mei Fang. Mei Fang, right? Since we're old classmates, I'm not afraid of you making fun of me."
Peng Xue stared at Mei Fang and said, "I'm going to the hospital later. Can you help me with the medical expenses? My salary is still in pledge with my boss. I don't have much money on hand right now. I'll pay you back as soon as I get paid."
Is this the reason why you don't want to go to the hospital
Mei Fang was surprised and felt sad at the same time, but he just nodded and smiled, "It's okay."
Mei Fang and Lin Youxi accompanied Peng Xue to the clinic to treat her wounds. Then Peng Xue invited Mei Fang and Lin Youxi to her house for a while. Since her house was not far away, the two did not refuse.
Unlike the residential housing where Mei Fang and Lin Youxi live, Peng Xue lives in a peasant house in an urban village. This self-built house is mainly composed of a large single room with a very small bathroom, kitchen and balcony, which is suitable for one person to live in.
There were a lot of sundries in Peng Xue's room, and her underwear was placed randomly when she entered the room. She, who had a slightly weird personality, quickly cleaned up the place, then poured a cup of tea for the two of them and chatted about some long-ago stories about Baimei County.
Lin Youxi didn't mind following Mei Fang to meet these fellow villagers from Baimei County. Listening to them talk about the past also gave Lin Youxi some special insights. However, there were too few topics to talk about, and the two did not dare to ask Peng Xue why she was still working as a waitress after more than ten years in Pengcheng.
Until Lin Youxi's eyes fell on a "guitar" placed in the corner of the room.
"Peng Xue, you like music, right? Do you play guitar?"
Lin Youxi said, pointing at the musical instrument beside him.
"Well... I learned to sing folk songs, and sometimes I sing in bars. But the instrument you're referring to is a ukulele, not a guitar. My guitar is right here."
Peng Xue showed off her old guitar, then touched her nose and smiled, "But my job doesn't make much money, and not many people listen to the songs I write. After all, I don't know when I will die in Pengcheng. Anyway, I will never go back to be a brother-supporting demon. I just regard this as a psychological sustenance for my survival here."
Perhaps it was because she hadn't shared her thoughts for too long, and Peng Xue's few words seemed to hide a lot of past information. However, Mei Fang and Lin Youxi didn't ask in detail. Lin Youxi took the initiative to ask Peng Xue about her musical dream.
"Can you play the song you wrote for us? I'm a little curious."
Mei Fang on the side reminded Lin Youxi, "Youxi, don't forget her hand—"
Peng Xue laughed happily after hearing this, "Ahahaha, my arm is fine. I'm glad you want to hear about it! It's a good chance to get rid of the bad luck on my body. It's really speechless to meet a low-class man. Just consider this as a thank you gift for helping me. Oh, by the way, I will definitely return the money to you later, Mei Fang."
"It's okay, just tell me on your prestige."
So Peng Xue picked up his broken wooden guitar, tuned it briefly, and began to play the song "Beautiful Things" for Mei Fang and Lin Youxi with his eyes closed.
[In the midsummer, you come back to listen to the cicadas]
[Traveling in the North Again and Knowing the Cold]
[It’s worth being young along the way]
[There is a happy ending]
[Look, the playful drizzle is waving across the clouds]
[Repaired a flickering lamp somewhere in the shop]
[Listen, the river flows by and people are clamoring to get ashore]
[Have you been to Jiangnan in March with fireworks?]
[Look, Qiuyue gently tears the petals]
[But just for fun in the late winter when the snow is falling]
[You said you wanted to forget all the unpleasant moments]
[Complete the beautiful things innocently]
Holding the guitar in her arms, Peng Xue seemed to have completely changed into a new image, from a cold and world-weary little spiritual girl to a literary young woman full of energy pursuing her musical dream.
Lin Youxi leaned on Mei Fang's shoulder and listened quietly to Peng Xue's performance, as if she was recalling distant memories of the past in Peng Xue's music.
Mei Fang was also immersed in Peng Xue's small, narrow, and almost impossible dream, feeling her stubbornness, and -
Always have hope.
I thought about the barbecue restaurant incident in this chapter for a long time but couldn't think of a very good way to break the impasse. No matter how I write it, it feels a bit cliché. But that part is really not the point, so just skip it.
Writing an if article is really hard, because apart from the protagonist, what I write about are almost all my real experiences and the real lives of ordinary people. When I compare the circumstances with the main storyline of the article, it becomes even harder.
(End of this chapter)
