In the evening, it was raining heavily in Lanshan District.
In addition, today is Friday, and traffic in the entire science and technology park is almost paralyzed.
After a busy day, Mei Fang and several colleagues said goodbye at the bus stop and got on the bus. The crowded bus was full of tired passengers.
Mei Fang tried hard to squeeze inside, and was splashed all over by the wet umbrella from next door.
At this moment, the billboard on the bus was broadcasting news about the Pengcheng Blueberry Music Festival.
Mei Fang glanced at the names of the unfamiliar singers at the music festival. At this time, the car finally started and Mei Fang tried hard to hold on to the swaying bracelet.
His fate also swayed like it.
Traffic jam caused Mei Fang to return home half an hour later than usual. When he dragged his tired body back home, the room was pitch black.
Mei Fang gently called Youxi's name, then turned on the lights in the living room.
There was a laptop with a black screen on the coffee table, and various wires were tangled on the ground, including network cables, data cables, power cables, game cartridges, and remote controls.
There is also a pair of pink cat slippers.
Mei Fang tidied himself up simply, then picked up the cat slippers, opened the door and walked to the bedroom. He did not turn on the light directly, but went to the bedroom closet.
"I found you."
Mei Fang gently pushed open the wardrobe, letting the light penetrate into the haze.
His lover was hiding in the corner of the closet, with disheveled hair, hugging her knees and shivering.
Like a frightened cat, he buried his head and closed himself in his own world.
"It rained heavily today, so I came back late... I'm sorry."
Mei Fang patted Lin Youxi's shoulder gently, but she just shook her body stiffly, looking angry and unwilling to pay attention to Mei Fang.
Although the work was already very hard, Mei Fang still patiently comforted Lin Youxi, and finally saw Lin Youxi slowly raise her head.
Her eyes were red, as if she had been crying for a long time.
"You're tired of me."
"That's not true."
"It's okay to admit it!"
Facing the hand that Mei Fang extended to him, Lin Youxi stared at Mei Fang, the corners of his mouth trembling constantly:
"I wish I had never met you."
"For so many years, I have been living well on my own."
"Why did I become like this!"
I hurt him again.
Always say such hurtful words directly.
And then—
I just want to see the disappointment on his face.
In that case—
But, it didn’t.
Mei Fang once again disappointed Lin Youxi—
He failed to show any disappointment, his hand just paused in the air for a moment.
Then, Mei Fang reached out to Lin Youxi's cheek and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
At this point, Lin Youxi could no longer suppress her emotions. She threw herself into Mei Fang's arms under his comfort, but her body kept shaking.
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry Fang!"
"That's not... that's not what I really mean."
“I know… I know.”
Mei Fang hugged Lin Youxi, then held her in his arms, comforting her like a child, patting her back gently.
"You're just sick. Depression is like this—"
Mei Fang combed Lin Youxi's hair and wiped her tearful cheeks, then busied herself in the kitchen making dinner for Lin Youxi. After dinner, Mei Fang took Lin Youxi out for a walk and then fed her medicine.
Lin Youxi lay in Mei Fang's arms for a while, and her anxiety and uneasiness were obviously relieved a lot. She even had a brief chat with Mei Fang.
Mei Fang also took this opportunity to ask Lin Youxi why she was sick today:
"Hasn't he been getting better recently? Why is he suddenly not doing well again today?"
"Today I am fixing the last bit of BUG in "White Plum Time", but I can't fix it no matter what I do..."
Lin Youxi snuggled in Mei Fang's arms and covered her forehead, "Ah Fang, I feel like my memory has declined seriously. The bug I fixed a few days ago has happened again today..."
"Didn't the doctor tell you when we went to the hospital last time? The medicine I'm prescribing will have some effects. You should just rest more recently."
"But didn't we promise the players that it would be officially launched next month? Everyone is looking forward to it, and I don't want to disappoint them—"
"But you can't force yourself. I'll feel bad."
Mei Fang gently squeezed Lin Youxi's shoulders and said, "The development progress of the program is basically 80% to 90% complete. I can ask my colleagues in the company to help check for bugs. Brother Xu also supports our work, so it's OK with him too."
"Like this..."
Lin Youxi hummed and buried herself in Mei Fang's arms, thinking about other things.
"However, this work that brought us together has finally come to an end..."
“That sounds a little sad.”
Mei Fang smoothed Lin Youxi's hair and said, "I won't allow you to leave me now."
"I can't bear to leave you either. I can't live alone without you."
Lin Youxi raised her head and kissed Mei Fang for a while, and Mei Fang also responded:
"Since this is a rare opportunity, why don't we do something ceremonial before officially releasing the work... For example, go out on a date together or something?"
"Okay, where do you want to go on a date?"
Lin Youxi, who was in a depression phase, showed a rare expression of interest: "Do you want to go to Qing Bar? I feel like drinking."
"You're still taking medicine, and you still dare to drink?"
Mei Fang patted Lin Youxi's head and said, "Let's go to the beach. I'll book a holiday hotel by the sea, a house facing the sea with flowers blooming in the spring."
"Okay, okay! Then we can go there and relax. It might be helpful for me to relieve my depression symptoms..."
Lin Youxi touched Mei Fang's cheek and said, "Would you like to take a shower together tonight?"
"Okay, let's take a shower together. I'll accompany you." Mei Fang nodded.
While busy with the final sprint of the version, Mei Fang and Lin Youxi were also preparing for this date with special significance.
Mei Fang booked an expensive seaside hotel suite for the date, and Lin Youxi bought a bright and colorful beach dress with colorful flowers painted on it.
They chose a day when the weather forecast predicted consecutive sunny days, arranged their itinerary, asked for time off on a leisurely weekday, and then packed their bags and set off together.
After a tiring drive, Lin Youxi arrived at the seaside hotel. She had just put down her luggage and changed into a beach dress to go to the beach, but the sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and the originally sunny weather disappeared in an instant.
It was pouring rain outside the window, accompanied by flashes of white light and bursts of thunder coming from the end of the sea across the ocean.
…
Lin Youxi opened the transparent French window and quietly watched the rain outside.
Mei Fang patted her back gently from behind.
"We have two and a half days off. It will definitely be sunny tomorrow. It's okay to take a good rest today. There will also be a bonfire party in the evening!"
"I'm not sad because of this... I just remembered some things from my childhood."
"What's the matter?"
Lin Youxi said softly, "Just like what is described in "White Plum Time", I was a real troublemaker in kindergarten. The teacher didn't like me very much, and I was afraid to be alone with the teacher. But my dad was very busy at the construction site, especially when it rained... So I was particularly afraid of thunder and rain."
"Come to think of it, you seem to be afraid of thunder and rain now."
Mei Fang hugged Lin Youxi from behind, "But it's okay now, you have me with you, right?"
"Yeah, it's good to have Ah Fang here!"
Lin Youxi held Mei Fang's hand, then emptied her body and leaned back into Mei Fang's arms.
At this time, the Bluetooth music in the hotel room was playing a song called "Sunny Day".
When the two woke up early the next morning, the sky was indeed bright.
After having breakfast at the hotel, Lin Youxi and Mei Fang walked hand in hand along the beach. Lin Youxi took off her beach shoes and asked Mei Fang to carry them. They left footprints on the beach with every step. Mei Fang held Lin Youxi's shoes in one hand and took pictures with her phone in the other.
"Ah Fang! Damn Ah Fang! You turned on the beauty filter and it's not working!"
"We have Xi, which looks good even without beauty filters, and has 360-degree views."
"Don't use these sweet words as an excuse to be lazy!"
Lin Youxi and Mei Fang were chasing and playing on the beach, with Lin Youxi running in front and Mei Fang chasing behind.
As Mei Fang was running, he suddenly felt his chest tighten and his pace slowed down.
He shouted to Lin Youxi to stop, as he could no longer run.
At this time, Lin Youxi turned around with his hands behind his back, looked at Mei Fang squatting down, and playfully made a face and stuck out his tongue:
"That won't do... You stinky Ah Fang, you were so arrogant last night, you bastard! Lulululu!"
"You... don't be so arrogant—"
Mei Fang covered his aching heart and shouted at Lin Youxi with a smile, but the pain was so intense and painful that Mei Fang couldn't even open his mouth to respond to Lin Youxi's ridicule.
Just when he was nervous about how to hide his situation, he suddenly felt a cold touch on his back.
When he looked up at Lin Youxi, he found that Lin Youxi was looking at the sky with her hands in her hands.
The rain started to fall again.
Mei Fang and Lin Youxi trotted back to the hotel in the rain. As soon as Lin Youxi closed the room, she entered the empress's new dress mode. She then tried to strip Mei Fang naked by force, and while making a fuss, she poured out the contents of Mei Fang's pockets.
“This is…”
Lin Youxi bent down and picked up the thing that fell out of Mei Fang's pocket. It was a square jewelry box.
Mei Fang scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "I was planning to give it to you at the bonfire party, but now it's gone..."
"Haha, I say... you're not going to give me a wedding ring or something like that, are you?"
"Open it and have a look."
Mei Fang stared at Lin Youxi, with no change in his facial expression.
Lin Youxi slowly opened the jewelry box. She was startled at first, and then took out the things in the jewelry box.
This is a pendant in the shape of a thousand paper cranes, with several exquisite sapphires inlaid on the cranes.
"What... is this?"
"It's our half-year anniversary."
"How can the half-year anniversary be commemorated?"
“Not all mobile games are like this now.”
"Humph, a despicable kryptonian scam!"
While teasing Mei Fang, Lin Youxi slowly took off the pendant, then unhooked the pendant and handed it to Mei Fang.
"Help me tie it, Fang."
Lin Youxi turned her back to Mei Fang and stared at the mirror, watching Mei Fang put on the necklace for her.
"How is it? Does it look good?"
"This will only look good with clothes..."
"I don't look good naked? Do you think I'm not big enough? Or do you think my skin is already loose... and you dislike me?"
"How can this be... It's enough for me."
Mei Fang hugged Lin Youxi close to her.
"I don't believe it... You men love to say sweet nonsense... Um... no... Um—"
Lin Youxi blushed and muttered as she turned back to Mei Fang, "Take a shower first! Take a shower! You'll catch a cold if you get caught in the rain."
Mei Fang and Lin Youxi were soaking in a warm bathtub. In the steaming mist, Lin Youxi was rubbing Mei Fang's back. Mei Fang whispered an apology to Lin Youxi.
"What are you sorry for? I've had a lot of fun these past two days."
"The sunny day we were promised was only for a short while, so we didn't get to go to the bonfire party."
"There will always be a moment, and that's fine."
Lin Youxi leaned on Mei Fang's back and comforted him, "It's better than never seeing the sun."
"When White Plum Time makes some money, we'll have some fun again. Let's have fun until we have enough fun. What do you say?"
"Okay... You're my man, I'll listen to you!"
As Lin Youxi spoke, she began to tickle Mei Fang's armpits.
The two of them always seem to have endless quarrels.
Mei Fang and Lin Youxi's three-day and two-night seaside trip came to an end.
End of the month.
After several days and nights of fixing bugs, the day of the official release of "White Plum Time" has finally arrived.
With the addition of the copywriter Liu Xiaoyu, the description of "White Plum Time" has become more delicate. Players who have experienced the trial version have given it rave reviews, and many have expressed their outrageous wishes for the author to die.
On the eve of the release of "White Plum Time".
Lin Youxi was interacting with other players in the group. Seeing Mei Fang making a phone call on the balcony of her bedroom, she opened the QQ chat group and typed a few lines.
Shan You Lin Xi: [Tomorrow is the official release date of "White Plum Time". Thank you all for your hard work over the past year! ]
Xiaoxiao Rain: [Celebration.jpg]
Shan You Lin Xi: [Thank you Xiao Yu for the story that you told us! I cried after reading it, so sweet! Your previous recommendation on the game Taozi also helped us attract a lot of free traffic! ]
Shan You Lin Xi: [And Yunyun’s art design is really cute and beautiful, especially the design of the heroine, which is exactly the same as what I imagined Yuanyuan would look like when she grew up, hehe! ]
Shan You Lin Xi: [I am also very grateful to @Penglai's Snow for her music, I also like it very much, the slightly sad style just fits the tone of the story, haha! ]
Penglai Snow: [I'm busy. I'll tell you guys when I get off work. It will definitely be a big hit! ]
Xiaoxiao Falling Rain & Distant Clouds: [Yeah, it will definitely sell well! ]
After Lin Youxi sent the message, Mei Fangzheng walked from the bedroom balcony to the living room, stood behind Lin Youxi and pinched her shoulders.
"What are you looking at?"
"I am making a summary speech. Thank you all for your hard work during this period."
"Yeah, it's pretty good..."
Mei Fang nodded, "Our classmate Lin Youxi finally looks like a producer now."
"What... Haven't you always been the producer? I'm just a coder."
"You hired me to write the documentation, okay..."
"Then in the end it's not me who will satisfy your needs? Hmm?"
"We...are we talking about the same thing?"
"Whether it's daily life or work, it's all the same!"
Lin Youxi patted her cheeks, stood up, and asked Mei Fang for a hug.
"Afang."
"how."
Lin Youxi raised her head from Mei Fang's arms.
"I want to go to bed early tonight and check the sales tomorrow!"
"Well, okay... I'll listen to you."
Lin Youxi and Mei Fang washed up early and prepared for bed. It was a rare night for the two of them to rest and not exercise, but Mei Fang hugged Lin Youxi very tightly.
"Are you being... extra clingy today, Fang?"
Lin Youxi muttered, "It's so hot."
"Just bear with it for a moment. I feel very insecure tonight."
Mei Fang was only concerned with hugging Lin Youxi and holding her cold hand.
"I'm afraid that once my game is released, Youxi will leave me."
"Haha, you think too much."
Lin Youxi snuggled in Mei Fang's arms.
"Although we met because of this work, to commemorate the fateful meeting."
"But, for me right now, you are more important to me now, Afang."
"Really... I am more important than Yuanyuan?"
Mei Fang was a little surprised, "You said before that Yuanyuan is irreplaceable."
"She is indeed irreplaceable, but you two mean different things to me. Yuanyuan was the only ray of light in my childhood, and you are everything I have now, like this."
"Well... probably like that, if your life and Yuanyuan's life are threatened and only one can survive, I will choose to save Yuanyuan, and then-"
"Die with me, yeah?"
"Ah, how did you know—"
Mei Fang hugged Lin Youxi tighter as she spoke.
"It's easy to do... I'm the planner, Youxi Planner."
"Your life belongs to me now, and I will plan everything from now on."
"Haha... Ah Fang has a strong desire for control."
"But I really like this kind of planned day."
If it could continue...
Even on the release day of a work like this, Mei Fang still has to go to work in the company because it is a working day.
Fortunately, she was still in his arms.
He and Lin Youxi kissed each other good morning, then got up, washed up, and rushed to catch the early bus to work.
It's a sunny day today.
It's really not a good day to go to work.
Which day is suitable for work
Ha ha.
As a planner with many years of experience, Mei Fang is very clear about the final outcome of "White Plum Time".
It is difficult for a niche work like this to become a best-seller without almost any commercial promotion.
The only chance is the player's tap water.
But that is a matter of luck.
It cannot be forced.
But it is indeed the bridge that establishes the fate between me and Lin Youxi.
Fate...
Mei Fang rested his chin on his hand at his workstation, thinking about his impression of the girl.
The girl who was originally vague in his memory became clear again because of "White Plum Time" and Lin Youxi.
The girl's innocent smile seemed to be just yesterday, so much so that when Mei Fang was actually experiencing his own game, he even felt a little sad.
Are Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi the childhood sweethearts I missed
-at the same time.
Lin Youxi packed everything that belonged to her, carried a large suitcase, stood in front of the living room door, and then checked everything again.
Clothes, jewelry, couple's toothbrush cups, slippers, pajamas, photos taken together on the coffee table, and even game saves that were completed together on the console.
Just then, Lin Youxi's cell phone rang with a text message alert.
[Where to Go reminds you: Your flight ZH4833 to Shanghai will take off in 3 hours, please arrange your time properly]
And the contact information...
But not now—
Lin Youxi arrived at the airport carrying a suitcase.
Didn't say goodbye to anyone.
In the airport terminal, she took a deep breath.
He skillfully blocked Mei Fang’s mobile phone number, Mei Fang’s WeChat account, and all other contact information.
Then he blocked everyone who could be associated with Mei Fang.
Except Liu Xiaoyu.
Then, open the bank APP and start the transfer.
[Your bank card 63327****6075 has successfully transferred 243,000 yuan to *'s account, and the balance is 2305.3 yuan. ]
Lin Youxi also playfully left a note when transferring the money:
[Wife's Book]
call…
That's it.
Lin Youxi turned on her phone and checked the new offer she had received from Shanghai.
Start a new life there.
A new life without Mei Fang.
My life couldn't be any worse.
But his life would be better without me.
Of course, the period of separation was definitely accompanied by pain...
But if she's there—
Lin Youxi sent all the words he had prepared for Liu Xiaoyu to Liu Xiaoyu.
After Liu Xiaoyu called him on video, he rejected her and blocked her.
It's a bit self-indulgent to do this.
It seems as if I gave Ah Fang to her...
There's nothing I can do, I'm mentally ill.
It is understandable to do something outrageous.
Before she knew it, Lin Youxi's tears had already started to fall.
No matter how hard she tried to wipe her tears, even if she raised her head, the tears always kept falling from the corners of her eyes.
Why would I do this.
Why should I push Alfang, who loves me so much and whom I love so much, to someone else
never mind…
It doesn't matter.
After boarding the plane, everything about Pengcheng, everything about him, had nothing to do with me anymore from then on.
That's it.
Um…
Lin Youxi sniffed the snot that was about to flow out and searched for a tissue in her bag, but found nothing.
ah…
In the past, he always brought tissues to help me, haha…
Now I have to get used to life without him.
Um…
Just as Lin Youxi lowered her head and rubbed her eyes, a tissue suddenly appeared in front of her.
"Wipe it off."
"Or... I'll help you wipe it."
Lin Youxi looked up in disbelief, and saw her whole world appear in front of her when she needed it most.
Although his tone was calm, the sweat on his forehead showed that he had run here for his life.
"How...how did you know I was here?"
Mei Fang was not angry yet and still had a smiling face towards her.
"I've told you before, even if you run to the ends of the earth, I will find you."
Mei Fang tapped his temple as he spoke, "You're not the only one with a mental illness."
After listening to what Mei Fang said, Lin Youxi seemed to remember something. Then she unbuttoned her clothes, revealing the sapphire pendant hanging around her neck that Mei Fang had given her a while ago.
"You installed a tracking system in the pendant, right? Only in the pendant?"
Mei Fang did not directly answer Lin Youxi's question, but said softly, "I know you can't bear to throw away my things."
Mei Fang gently wiped the tears from the corners of Lin Youxi's eyes, helped her wipe away her nose, and then handed a brand new small jewelry box to Lin Youxi.
"Open it and take a look."
Lin Youxi opened the jewelry box tremblingly.
Inside was a ring.
Mei Fang took the ring out of the box, and then carefully put the ring on Lin Youxi's hand, knelt on one knee, held Lin Youxi's hand, and made a gesture of request. There were some onlookers around, but Mei Fang was not at all nervous, and continued to confess to his love.
"Ms. Lin Youxi, the one I love the most in my life, I am here to formally invite you to form a team to get married!"
"You'll never be able to leave me in this life anyway."
"I hope you can marry me and give your life to me."
There was applause and laughter from the crowd.
However, Lin Youxi does not intend to present the audience with the plot they expect.
"don't want… "
Lin Youxi smiled and shook her head, then shook her head violently, and finally burst into tears again.
"I don't want to..."
“I don’t want to…
"I don't want to marry you."
