Chapter 208

Chapter 208: It’s Time to Focus

Lin You Xi and Xia Yuan shared their thoughts and changes with Mei Fang. Lin You Xi also shared her beautiful memories with Mei Fang exclusively with Xia Yuan. Xia Yuan, moved by Lin You Xi’s frankness and sincerity, began thinking of reciprocating by sharing her exclusive memories with Mei Fang.

But…

But…

The most memorable thing about me and Fang when we were young was running away from home.

But You Xi was also involved in that, so there’s not much to talk about…

Apart from that… there was the incident in junior high where we stood up to the head teacher.

But You Xi was also involved!

She even stood up for me!

Then…

Xia Yuan could only think of the times she secretly slept with Fang during nap time;

During sports events, she secretly did things with Fang while You Xi was competing;

Of course, there was this worst thing—

She took Fang’s first kiss, under the pretense of secret training.

They said they would do it just once, but during those days over the New Year, she took advantage of the situation and did “secret training” every day!

She felt that no matter which secret she revealed, it would lead to a falling out between her and You Xi.

Xia Yuan hugged You Xi and cried on the ground, moved by what You Xi said, but also ashamed of her own despicable thoughts.

If not for her deep love for Mei Fang, to the point of being willing to die for him, and if they didn’t seem to mind sharing, she would have voluntarily stepped back to let Fang and You Xi live happily together.

Of course, apart from self-reproach, Xia Yuan also wanted to express her apology through actions.

For example, she decided to give You Xi and Fang more opportunities to spend time together after the New Year.

Such as taking longer showers or taking Aunt Liang out shopping, to create intimate moments for the two.

Once Fang and You Xi also kissed, her own kisses with Fang wouldn’t feel so guilty!

Oh, poor Xia Yuan!

She didn’t even notice the signs that You Xi and Mei Fang had progressed further, and even resisted the last chance for secret training, letting Mei Fang leave for Baizhou City.

Mei Fang felt much lighter after returning to his unique large house in Baizhou City.

He rarely spent time without hugging Xia Yuan and Lin You Xi, maybe only ten to twenty days a year. He needed to seize this rare opportunity and enjoy being single.

Oh, speaking of which, during the New Year, he spent all his time playing new games with You Xi and didn’t play with Zhang Ming.

Recently, Mei Fang and Lin You Xi were playing the newly released MOBA game “League of Legends,” which didn’t need Mei Fang to introduce its future popularity.

He played as support for You Xi in the bottom lane, and You Xi played VN for the first time. Their bottom lane combo dominated every match, making Mei Fang doubt You Xi hadn’t secretly played DOTA before.

He and You Xi went on a gaming spree during junior high, so engrossed they didn’t even reply to Xia Yuan’s messages instantly, naturally leaving no time for interaction with Zhang Ming.

However, they often discussed game-related design issues online. Zhang Ming asked many questions about game plans, and Mei Fang replied via text or phone calls, strengthening their friendship.

Although he received the least year-end bonus at the gathering before the New Year, Zhang Ming was deeply moved afterward. From initially trying to make a game with Mei Fang to watching its sales rise and generating real money, it made him feel like he was living in a dream.

Zhang Ming came from a family with many graduates from prestigious universities, but even with hard work and good grades, it seemed like they could only reach that level. But his junior high friend, Mei Fang, not only made games but also wrote songs and created websites, clearly becoming an unsung legend.

Looking back, it seemed childish to compete with him in academics and book turning.

From Zhang Ming’s enthusiasm, Mei Fang could sense his drive but reminded him not to neglect his studies, not just for future development, but because if Zhang Ming focused too much on games and fell behind in his studies, his parents wouldn’t support him.

And if his parents opposed helping Mei Fang with his game, it would be impossible.

At least, before the release of their game “Cloud Journey,” Zhang Ming couldn’t fall behind.

“Cloud Journey” was the project Mei Fang discussed with Guo Yun before the New Year, with the English name “Gloudy.” The prefix “g” corresponds to Guo Yun’s surname, and “Gloudy” almost directly translates to Guo Yun’s name, showing the respect they gave her.

Guo Yun, who had been receiving attention since the dividend distribution, naturally wasn’t disappointing. While Mei Fang and Xia Yuan, Lin You Xi enjoyed their happy winter break, Guo Yun stayed at home painting.

On the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, Guo Yun handed Mei Fang the initial drafts of several concept designs for “Cloud Journey,” which were nearly as high-quality as the original “Gris,” and even better in some aspects.

Mei: [The color coordination in your design fits the theme of this chapter, doesn’t it? Being looked down upon, so you deliberately used such a dark tone, like walking with your head down… Yes, the atmosphere is amazing. Can you freely express yourself in the future without needing my input?]

Guo: [No way! Your art requirements were clear enough for me to do well. Without your documents and creativity, I couldn’t have done these.]

Guo Yun expressed her admiration for Mei Fang, and Mei Fang accepted it but reminded her to rest.

Mei: [I didn’t rush you, why did you spend your whole winter break drawing…]

Guo: [Because I like it. I really enjoy drawing these… It’s a way for me to express my emotions, and I find it very fulfilling.]

Mei: [Even if you like it, you still need to take care of your health. Also, I’ve told you, even if you’re capable alone, to ensure quality, efficiency isn’t enough. You should recruit some schoolmates interested in game development to help you.]

Guo: [Sigh, to be honest, this is harder than drawing. I’d rather draw more.]

Mei: [You’re already beautiful, people’s attitudes towards you have improved a lot, haven’t they?]

It’s precisely because of this… it feels uncomfortable.

It makes everyone seem superficial.

Of course, there are people who don’t judge by appearance.

Guo Yun lay in bed, looking at the message from Mei Fang, remembering their eye contact before the New Year, blushing and tossing and turning.

Calm down…

You know, Guo Yun.

Mei Fang only appreciates your talent, not your feelings.

Although… he didn’t know your talent before and treated you well…

But that was only because Mei Fang is a gentle boy, not for any other reason.

He treats me gently, so he must treat other girls the same way.

If I have to say, there are only two people, and he gives them different gentleness.

Guo Yun held her phone, imagining the grand scene of Mei Fang’s wedding someday in the future.

Who will hold his hand to walk down the aisle…

Guo Yun drifted off to sleep, waking up when her phone dropped on her face.

No, no… I haven’t done my squats today… I have to get up and finish them before sleeping!

Guo Yun painted and exercised at home, not neglecting either.

This chapter is from yesterday. There will be another chapter later.

Around one thirty.

My old friends love me, so I’ll add two more chapters today, but the updates after will be regular.
