Xueba's computing system

Chapter 55 What is Life

Xia Ye was completely unaware of the teasing hidden in Lin Yuan's words, which made Lin Yuan speechless.

"No wonder Song Xiaoxiao had to act like a worried mother." Lin Yuan felt that Xia Ye's brain was like a single-layer network with only one convolution kernel, and could only get the superficial information from other people's words.

Single-layer networks are at most used as examples in teaching, and cannot be applied in actual production environments. Just like Xia Ye's brain is obviously not suitable for this complex society.

Xia Ye's next words also proved this point, "I still get the highest salary at the milk tea shop, thanks to the boss who takes care of me."

This made Lin Yuan unable to hold back his laughter.

"why are you laughing."

"The maximum wage is $25 an hour?"

"Yes. The hourly wage in our milk tea shop starts at 20 and caps at 25. I'm getting the highest salary."

"Based on how much traffic you can bring to that milk tea shop in one night, it's reasonable to pay you 250 an hour."

"I don't have 250. When I first got there, I didn't know anything. Fortunately, the boss didn't mind and didn't deduct my money. I only need 25."

"I didn't say you were 250." Although Lin Yuan believed in his heart that the other party was 250.

"What? I said I don't want 250, just 25."

Lin Yuan was stunned for a long time before he finally reacted. He remembered the last time this girl chased his electric scooter, it was because she said "you give me back a thousand yuan" instead of "I will give you back a thousand yuan", which scared Lin Yuan so much that he jumped on his electric scooter and ran away.

"This girl seems to have a problem with her mouth slipping. And... she doesn't even notice it."

From Lin Yuan's professional perspective, this is a bug, a typical case of "front-end and back-end data definitions not being synchronized." The brain is like a back-end server, invisible to others. The information in the brain needs to be transmitted by the mouth, so the mouth is the front-end display.

And Xia Ye is obviously a program full of bugs that needs to be debugged!

As for how to debug and who will debug, Lin Yuan thought that with Xia Ye's outstanding appearance and obviously insufficient brain frequency, debugging would be very difficult. As he was an IT person and was good at handling various bugs, it was his duty to help.

Lin Yuan recalled his previous conversation with Song Xiaoxiao, in which she said that Xia Ye had never had a boyfriend in four years of college and was still a virgin. This made Lin Yuan even more excited.

After all, in today's era, girls like Xia Ye are rare animals no matter how you look at it.

Lin Yuan felt secretly delighted for a moment. He had originally had some doubts about Xia Ye because of the previous incident in the maid shop, but now it was Song Xiaoxiao's magical operation that dispelled his doubts.

Should he tell Xia Ye that he had been admitted to graduate school? After thinking about it, Lin Yuan decided to conceal it. Just for the sake of the Lin Yuan he once was.

That's right, just think of it as helping Lin Yuan, who hadn't obtained the system yet, to realize his deep-seated dream. A guy who had no other options after graduating from college and could only work as a food delivery boy was dating a pretty girl who graduated from the art department. Just thinking about it was a very interesting plot.

"What are your subsequent plans?" Lin Yuan was very curious about what Xia Ye would do now that he was facing tutoring fees that he obviously could not afford.

"Hmm~~," Xia Ye stopped and thought carefully for a while, "Of course I should work harder and strive for a raise, so that I can save enough money."

Facing the sunset glow in the summer evening, Xia Ye opened her arms and smiled in the afterglow. Lin Yuan enjoyed watching her and felt a slight sense of satisfaction in his heart, as if this was the life he wanted to have. Of course, it would be even better if the cabbage leaf on Xia Ye's front teeth could be removed.

"Let's go get some milk tea."

"Oh." Xia Ye closed his open arms.

"Rinse the leaves off your front teeth."

"What? Vegetable leaves?" Xia Ye was stunned for a moment before she reacted, then immediately covered her mouth and said in an inarticulate voice, "Why didn't you remind me earlier." No girl can accept opening her mouth in front of a boy she likes a little, and then having a vegetable leaf on her front teeth.

"Wait a minute, let me wipe it off." Xia Ye wanted to take out a small mirror from her bag.

"Let's go, just drink some milk tea to wash it down." Lin Yuan pulled her arm and led her away. Xia Ye was very stiff as Lin Yuan led her, "Now, holding hands?" She lowered her head, and an uncontrollable smile appeared on her face.

“Don’t walk with your head down.”

"Oh," Xia Ye responded, and raised her head. But the smile on her face was a little out of her control, and she was still in the throbbing of Lin Yuan's rash hand holding. So, the piece of vegetable leaf leaked out again.

Lin Yuan tried very hard not to laugh, but his nasal tone betrayed him in the end.

"Hmph, you're laughing at me." Xia Ye pretended to break free from Lin Yuan's hand, but it was obvious that she didn't use much strength.

"Okay, okay. I won't laugh anymore. I'll go buy you some milk tea."
-
On the way to the milk tea shop, Xia Ye's hands gradually went from being stiff and uncomfortable to being natural, and she and Lin Yuan were like two elementary school students holding hands.

What is life? This question suddenly popped up in Lin Yuan's mind.

Since graduation, he often asks himself this question. It's not that he likes to think about such deep questions, but reality always pries open his mind and forces him to face this question.

Delivering food is for living, and taking the postgraduate entrance examination is also for living. Lin Yuan feels more and more that when people grow up, they spend a large part of their 24 hours facing life.

He thought of Da Zhang, who must be busy during the evening rush hour paying for his child's tutoring tuition.

There was also Song Xiaoxiao who had just left. Lin Yuan looked at the tone of her voice when she said goodbye, and saw the makeup mirror she took out of her bag. It was obvious that she was not going back to her rental house.

Everyone is defining their own life, even if they may not have seriously considered this issue, but everyone faces the ups and downs in their own life script.

'What about my life?'

Lin Yuan glanced at Xia Ye beside him.

The answer may be right before our eyes.

If everything goes well, Lin Yuan should have a good job. Although Xia Ye will most likely not be able to pass the entrance exam to become a graduate student at Ziyi, it is still possible for her to find a relaxing place to teach dancing. He will marry Xia Ye and have their own children. Then he will watch the children grow up and he and Xia Ye will grow old together.

Even when they are 80 years old, they will still walk hand in hand under such a sunset.

Who says that hackers must do something earth-shattering? Who says that having a system must promote human progress?

At this moment, Lin Yuan was immersed in his own little happiness.

. . .

But suddenly, Lin Yuan's steps became unsteady and he almost slipped.

"What's wrong with you?" Xia Ye quickly grabbed him.

Lin Yuan stood up quickly. He felt a little puzzled because he had not felt any discomfort just now. Why did his legs suddenly go weak?

Could it be that he was physically weak because of the recovery of his computing power? Lin Yuan could only think of this far-fetched reason. But the feeling of kidney deficiency obviously wouldn't just last for a moment and then disappear without a trace. So what was the reason?

"I'm fine, let's go get some milk tea."

Lin Yuan suddenly thought of a possibility. Was it because the system was warning him about his previous idea of being content with a small fortune?
Lin Yuan quickly rejected this idea, because so far the only ways he could communicate with the system were through gestures and lip reading, but not through thoughts and consciousness.

Could it be that the system saw that I was immersed in the land of comfort and forgot about the computing resources, so it gave me a slight reminder? (Just like the "kind" greeting from the reader when he saw the author straying from the main plot)
[System?] Lin Yuan asked quietly using lip reading, but the system did not respond.

Forget it, I should really get back to work.

"Let's go." Lin Yuan planned to go back to the dormitory after buying the milk tea to continue applying for computing resources from OCR.
