For anyone, the journey from growth to maturity always requires a period of time when one has to be independent.
This is especially true for Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi.
Before graduating from high school, the two of them spent most of their time working according to Mei Fang's plan. Although they also had their own interests and ideals, they could not do without Mei Gou's thoughtful help.
After entering university, in order to be worthy of the title of one of the three giants of Yuanxi Interactive Entertainment, Lin Youxi and Xia Yuan both began their own practice, that is, hard work and struggle without Mei Fang's involvement.
During this period, Xia Yuan was participating in the song practice of the Yixia band as the energetic girl "Lin Wanwan". Her third album had been recorded and she was just waiting for Yuanxia Music to complete the team's distribution work.
As for Yuanjiang's live broadcast, Xia Yuan's live broadcast frequency has also been reduced to once a month. Yuanjiang has become a salted fish live broadcast UP host who only occasionally brushes up her presence, but every time she goes online for a live broadcast, she wants it to become a big event that C Station will spread.
At the same time, Lin Youxi focused on in-depth learning and explored the possibilities of the AI field with Yuanxi Interactive Entertainment's technical team.
In addition, Lin Youxi also took advantage of her free time to get a driver's license. In this way, Mei Fang also had to prepare a new car for his wife, so that the three of them could travel at any time.
As for Mei Fang himself, when he is separated from his wives during the day, he focuses on exploring the gaming field that he loves.
In addition to his own upcoming game "Codename: End", which was finally named "Lily of the End", it also includes "Salted Fish Survivor" led by Zhang Ming.
In addition to these two independent works, Mei Fang has also begun to prepare for a 3A-level open world MMO product development project.
According to Mei Fang's idea, this work, which is expected to take three years to develop, will also be the last product he personally leads the development of before graduation, which can be regarded as a final explanation for his gaming dream in his previous life.
In the hot summer, young people are sweating, tasting the fruits of victory and enjoying the beauty of youth.
In September, the school season begins.
Since then, the campus of Pengcheng University has welcomed a group of energetic new students.
Probably influenced by the Mei Fang effect, this year Pengcheng University received applications from college entrance examination candidates from all over the country, which also caused the admission line of Pengcheng University to be nearly 20 points higher than last year. The game design major even surpassed computer science and became the most popular major in the school.
There is no doubt that the entrepreneurial stories and love stories of the three giants of Mei, Youyuan and others have become a benchmark in the hearts of young people in China, and even Pengda has become a place worthy of pilgrimage.
Among this group of freshmen, in addition to Peng Xue who is already half-enrolled, there are some faces that Mei Fang is familiar with.
They are the younger students from Jiangcheng Normal University No. 1 High School.
This also includes Zhu Nanai, who was once Fang Bao's personal promoter, and Xu Wei, a die-hard fan of "Cloud Journey". After Mei Fang graduated, they continued to maintain the existence of the Ximilu Studio and passed on the club well.
Mei Fang was of course generous in treating these younger classmates who had been madly infatuated with her in high school to dinner and chat about the past.
At the same time, these younger students also brought many follow-up stories from far away in Jiangcheng.
After all, Mei Fang’s high-profile announcement of his relationship with Lin Youxi on the playground of Jiangcheng Normal University No. 1 High School and his donation of 2 million yuan as a reward to his alma mater made him the most talked-about legendary senior in Jiangcheng Normal University No. 1 High School in recent years, so much so that Jiangcheng Normal University No. 1 High School has become a "holy place" in a sense.
The class that Mei Fang attended back then became the class that everyone wanted to attend;
Mei Fang's head teacher, the "tyrant" Dong Zhongying, became the class that parents wanted to transfer to;
The grove where Mei Fang and Lin Youxi were photographed is now known as Lover's Hill;
As for the photo of Mei Fang, Lin Youxi and Xia Yuan crossing the adult gate hand in hand, it has now become the welcome photo on the homepage of the official website of Jiangcheng Normal University No. 1 Affiliated High School.
In short, the school did not stop the students from showing admiration and yearning. After all, Mei Gou was also the most proud graduate of Jiangcheng Normal University in recent years.
However, as the instigator of each incident, Mei Fang still felt a little ashamed when listening to his younger classmates vividly describing the traces they left behind.
At the dinner table, Zhu Nanai and Xu Wei kept circling around Senior Mei Fang and making a fuss. Zhu Nanai was committed to clinging to Senior Mei Fang's thighs, asking him if he needed a super assistant who was obedient, capable, and took care of everything;
Independent game enthusiast Xu Wei is more concerned about the development status of Mei Fang's new work "Lily of the End". She wants to know if there are any areas in the script that can be further polished. Obviously, she also wants to participate in it.
The enthusiasm of the two schoolmates surrounding Mei Fang made Xia Yuan, who was sitting nearby, feel uneasy.
She looked at Mei Fang who was being pestered to speak patiently, and then exchanged glances with Lin Youxi on the other side. Lin Youxi seemed to be eating leisurely and contentedly, answering questions from her juniors from time to time.
Being able to dine with seniors who are worth over 100 million yuan is a rare opportunity for the students of Jiangcheng Normal University No. 1, and everyone is trying hard to seize it.
After the dinner, Mei Fang drove Lin Youxi and Xia Yuan home. Xia Yuan couldn't help but complain:
"Afang is really popular today. It must feel great to be surrounded by schoolmates."
“It feels good…”
"So which schoolgirl do you like the most? Nana, who kept talking about you when you were in Fang Bao and came to get close to you after class every day? Or Xiaowei, who is as devoted to games as you are, and looks quiet and well-behaved, but is fanatically obsessed?"
"Well... they are all good, yes—"
"Carrying water again, huh?"
"But compared to the other school girl, the taste is so much worse."
"Why are there other school girls? How many girls are you hooking up with out there?"
"Yuanyuan, why are you so excited..."
Lin Youxi leaned against the car window and smiled, "Ah Fang must be talking about my sister Lin Wanwan. How come you forgot the role you were in?"
"Is it Lin Wanwan?"
"That's even a question."
Mei Fang rolled his eyes at Xia Yuan with some disdain, and then whined, "But Yuanyuan is still the cutest like this."
"You two are such bad guys... You always play tricks on me like this."
Xia Yuan whined and pinched Lin Youxi, saying, "Youxi, Youxi, please teach me why you are not jealous when Ah Fang talks to other girls. This kind of calmness is really great. I can't do that. I'm so anxious."
"It's not like I'm not jealous... How could I not be jealous?"
Lin Youxi explained, "But Ah Fang is a person of this status after all, it is normal for him to be welcomed by the juniors... Aren't you also very popular among the juniors?"
"I am only popular with girls. Few of my juniors talk to me directly. At most they ask for my autograph..."
Xia Yuan muttered, "Although I don't have any obsessions, I sometimes want to see Ah Fang get jealous of me."
"I'm not jealous of you enough..."
Mei Fang was a little unhappy when she heard this. "I just chatted with the school girls. We didn't do anything intimate. I didn't even look at them. Last time you went to play basketball with Bingbing, I booked a VIP court to prevent other boys from seeing you. Do you think I'm not strict enough with you?"
"Now that I think about it, that time was also..."
Xia Yuan felt a little embarrassed when she thought of what happened back then. "Now that I think about it, I suddenly feel that Ah Fang can be quite domineering sometimes..."
"Yuanyuan is like this... She likes to be controlled and watched by Ah Fang."
Lin Youxi started to tickle Xia Yuan, "Then, like this, with Ah Fang pressing me down. I like this position and Ah Fang makes me tremble—"
"S-Stop driving! Youxi, why did you start driving right after you got your driver's license!"
Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi made a fuss in the back seat of the car for a while, and Mei Fang was driving very slowly at this time.
"I like being conquered by Alphonse!"
Xia Yuan said seriously, "It sounds too weird without the adjective, as if I have some weird habit... By the way, doesn't Ah Fang also like to be conquered by Youxi?"
"I don't have any particular preferences. I can role-play anything. After all, I'm a game planner. I need to have a wide range of experience and enough material to show that I'm knowledgeable. I have a lot of prototypes of gameplay designs in my mind."
"Is this how you use game planning..."
Lin Youxi raised a small question to Mei Fang, and then asked Mei Fang, "By the way, Ah Fang, are you free tomorrow afternoon?"
"I'm free... I don't have classes. What's wrong? You missed me."
"I'm going to study in the library tomorrow. Can you accompany me?"
"Ah... the library? Okay, that's fine."
"You, both of you!"
Xia Yuan blushed and muttered, "You're not planning to do anything naughty in Pengda's library, are you?"
"What are you talking about..."
Lin Youxi frowned and looked at Xia Yuan with disdain, "I just think it's a bit boring to read alone, so I want Ah Fang to accompany me. He has nothing to do."
"Then you're still saying you're not making fun of Ah Fang!"
At this moment, Xia Yuan suddenly changed her voice into Lin Wanwan's and began to hum, "Senior Sister Youxi, how long have I known you? I know you very well, what kind of person you are!"
"It may have been true in the past, but Ah Fang and I have long been in a platonic relationship, and we have long been able to control the matter of Duoduoduo. I am not like you, my junior, whose head is full of royal color garbage. I want to try new feelings on the first night of COS Lin Wanwan."
"Plato is fine, but don't you think about your week... your week-"
Xia Yuan patted his head and thought about it carefully, and then he found an important problem, which shocked him greatly -
Lin Youxi pretended to be angry and reminded Xia Yuan.
"You've been playing with Alfonso all this week, and I've been sleeping in my room, haven't I?"
"Okay, that seems to be the case..."
Xia Yuan
"Youxi, you really don't care anymore?"
"Yes, that's right."
Lin Youxi held her chin and looked at the mottled shadows of the trees outside the car window. Her eyes softened.
"We are going to spend our whole lives with Ah Fang. We can't overdraw our future just for the sake of temporary happiness... Ah Fang is still very young, but there are some things that we really need to be careful about..."
"Woo..."
Xia Yuan was enlightened after listening to Lin Youxi's words, and immediately realized that what he had done to Afang might have been a bit too much.
"I… "
"I really don't feel sorry for Fang anymore... If we spoil Fang now, we might not be able to have a baby in the future... So we really should exercise some restraint..."
"Yuanyuan."
Mei Fang said this and sighed again.
"Why are you so cute?"
"What do you mean by calling me cute... Are you implying that I'm stupid again?"
"No, I just think you're cute..."
Mei Fang half-jokingly said, "The luckiest thing in your life is meeting me. Do you know what fate is?"
"It's fine if I say this myself, but it's too weird for you to say this, Ah Fang!"
Xia Yuan was very angry, and Lin Youxi said, "What Ah Fang meant is that if you were with someone else, you would help others count the money even if you were sold out. Your kind and innocent character would easily attract scumbags."
Lin Youxi paused and said, "Although Ah Fang is also a scumbag."
"So what are you talking about? Youxi, you don't feel sorry for Ah Fang at all, right?"
"I would definitely feel bad for Alfang, but Alfang insisted—"
"Ah...wasn't it you who seduced me first?"
"Damn it! They took advantage of me while I was rehearsing! Aaaaahhh!"
The next day, Mei Youyuan and the other three went to class together. After dinner, Xia Yuan went to watch Peng Xue's military training, while Mei Fang went to the library to study with Lin Youxi.
Because Mei Fang and Lin Youxi basically appeared without makeup at school, and Lin Youxi was slightly nearsighted and usually wore glasses, her appearance without makeup was quite different from that of a young lady, so the two were not harassed by the freshmen.
Mei Fang accompanied Lin Youxi to study in the library. Lin Youxi was taking notes on the subject seriously. Mei Fang went over to take a look at what Lin Youxi was studying, but then found that she could no longer keep up with Lin Youxi's theoretical knowledge and techniques.
"Youxi in our family is really a genius. I have also learned so much about programming, but I feel dizzy just looking at these..."
"Every profession has its specialties. Ah Fang is now on the producer route."
Lin Youxi patted Mei Fang's head and said, "If you feel sleepy, just sleep next to me. You don't have to force yourself to accompany me."
"How dare I sleep? Don't do what you did last time, while I'm sleeping—"
"Okay, school has started now, and it's not as crowded as it was during the summer vacation. I'll pay attention."
So Mei Fang had a peaceful nap under Lin Youxi's persuasion.
But when he was about to wake up, someone suddenly pulled him and started shouting.
The person who woke him up was a tall man with a slicked-back hair and fashionable clothes.
He pretended to be silent and said to Mei Fang in a serious tone:
"Brother, please give me some face and go to sleep over there?"
"Go over there... for what?"
Mei Fang was a little dazed when she saw the tall student whisper to her, "Actually, I like the girl next to you. Hmm... How about this, you give me this seat and I'll give you 100 yuan, okay?"
