I am weak and friendly

Chapter 34: Afraid of seeing myself trending on local hot topics.

The next morning, the first thing Tang Yiping did after waking up was to eagerly open his project page.

Then I saw it...

A lone star.

Looking through the forum again, yesterday's post only had two replies.

"Thumbs up for the expert!"

"The boss is awesome!"

I went back and took another look at my project page.

It's still just a lonely star.

I didn't expect them to just give me empty praise, not even a single star!
Tang Yiping suddenly felt that the whole world had lost its color and everything was utterly tasteless.

After brushing his teeth, washing his face, and taking a quick shower, Tang Yiping brought in the clothes he had hung out to dry and put them in the closet in the second bedroom.

The house has water and electricity, but Tang Yiping didn't know how much was left in the water supply, so he didn't dare turn on the air conditioner last night.

Fortunately, the apartment is on the 12th floor, so even with the windows open at night, it's not unbearably hot.

"Old Tang, how do I pay the water and electricity bills? What documents do I need?" he asked his assistant.

Master Tang: "If you know the water and electricity numbers, you can just link them to Taobao."

"That's it? You don't need anything else?"

Master Tang: "That's all, nothing else is needed."

Surprisingly simple; next, just find the water and electricity numbers.

Tang Yiping explored the house for a while.

The house is quite large, at least 150 square meters, but the main signs of life are concentrated in the master bedroom, study, kitchen, bathroom, and shower room.

The two secondary bedrooms and one guest room look like they've been renovated but never lived in.

From the various traces in the room, Tang Yiping roughly deduced the basic information about the house.

This place must have once belonged to an elderly person living alone, so there are many accessible facilities here.

This is very favorable to Tang Yiping.

But now... this old man has most likely passed away.

The elderly person must have children, but it seems they have gone abroad and have not returned.

Tang Yiping found some photos, which showed an old man with his son and daughter-in-law. The daughter-in-law appeared to be a foreigner.

The other photos are all of my son and daughter-in-law.

Judging from the photos, they have two children, a boy and a girl, and they are living a happy life.

It seems that this is how the old man looked at photos of his children and grandchildren, growing old alone in this house, and eventually passing away.

This explains why the house had been forgotten for so long.

The old man's profession seemed to be related to urban construction. Tang Yiping saw many related books in the study. There was an old computer on the desk that hadn't been turned on for many years. Judging from the model, it was a model from more than ten years ago.

After exploring, Tang Yiping clasped his hands together and bowed outside the master bedroom door: "Old man, I'm just staying here for a while. I'll clean it up when I leave. Thank you for giving me a place to shelter from the wind and rain. I'll try not to cause you too much trouble. If you are watching over me from heaven, I hope you can help me find the water and electricity numbers soon."

It has water, electricity, and a roof.

Tang Yiping didn't actually ask for anything more.

I didn't expect there to be a large bed.

Tang Yiping believes that people should not be ungrateful.

Last night, as Tang Yiping lay in his big bed, Lola was on his mind.

It's so pitiful to sleep in the shoe cabinet; luckily I have a big bed.

In fact, even the second bedroom is very large, with a desk and bookshelves, as well as a variety of carefully selected bedding and other items.

It was probably prepared by the old man for his grandchildren.

The secondary bedroom where Tang Yiping lives should belong to the old man's grandson.

Tang Yiping found the blue bear-patterned bed sheet and pillowcase in the closet and changed the dusty ones.

He felt that the blue bear bed sheet matched him well.

Then Tang Yiping opened the window and looked out from the window of the second bedroom.

From the window on the 12th floor, he could see the Qihang Building, which was not far from here.

He could even see the windows of the open-plan office where the development team was located.

"If only we could hang a steel cable here, and then... whoosh!"

Forget it, I’m overthinking it.

After packing his things and washing up, Tang Yiping prepared to go to work.

He went outside and gently knocked on the shoe cabinet: "Lola!"

No one responded from inside.

"Lola? Would you like to wash up, Lola?"

"Lola, I'm coming in!"

Tang Yiping opened the shoe cabinet door and saw several shoes scattered inside; Lola was gone.

"Where did you go?" Tang Yiping was slightly worried, but it was daytime, so as long as he didn't get hit by a car, he should be safe...

Maybe.

Tang Yiping wasn't entirely confident when it came to Lola's survival skills. Upon arriving at the company, Tang Yiping had just finished the breakfast that Ze Ge had provided when he saw someone tag him in the intern group chat.

"Ping-ge, you're famous now!"

What? I'm famous?
Tang Yiping immediately opened the webpage of his project repository.

A lone star.

It refreshed again.

It's still just a lonely star.

What's so great about me? What's so great about me?

Liar!

Then, the hardworking old ox sent him a video link.

"The wheelchair-bound brother and sister who amazed the world can't get out, this damn fragility!"

The video shows him arguing with Lola in front of a stinky tofu stall.

Someone filmed Lola crying because she couldn't eat her seventh piece of stinky tofu.

Then it was slowed down frame by frame, accompanied by poignant music, then mirrored and played again.

It was also accompanied by the following text:
"The brother and sister in wheelchairs bought a serving of stinky tofu. While they were eating, the sister suddenly started crying. At that moment, my heart broke."

The number of clicks and comments below are numbers Tang Yiping could never achieve in his lifetime.

Tang Yiping: "??????"

The comments below have this style:

"Ah, this damn sense of fragility and vulnerability."

"No, I can't take it anymore! Where are you guys? I'll go buy you a ton of stinky tofu!"

"Don't cry. If you want to cry, can I hug you?"

"Promise me, baby, don't blame your brother, okay? He's just hungry."

"Come to my arms and cry, it's warm here!"

There are also art styles like this:
"I will take care of you for the rest of my life, brother! I will also be good to my sister, please don't worry!"

"Yes, I won't let you and my sister suffer! Brother, please grant my request!"

"Brother, we truly love each other! Please don't separate us!"

"Even though I'm a girl, true love is between people of the same sex! Please believe me, brother!"

Tang Yiping's expression was: "Old man's cell phone on the subway.jpg"
No, you people, do you even know what's behind that face? You expect me to agree to your requests?

He swiped away the video, and another video popped up below.

This time, Tang Yiping was cut off, leaving only Lola on the screen.

If you're unhappy, swipe away.

Lola.

If you're not happy, swipe away again.

Lola.

If you're unhappy, swipe away again.

This time it was Tang Yiping's turn.

"Ah, my brother is so handsome. I love this kind of pure and fragile boy. I want to dirty him..."

"???"

What on earth is going on in this world?!

Tang Yiping felt that he was completely out of touch with the current version.

Retreat, retreat, retreat.jpg!

It's scary to be trending locally!
Tang Yiping tossed his phone aside as if afraid of offending his eyes, and saw an intern standing in front of him:

"Brother Ping, I just want to ask you one question, is that really our sister?!"

Tang Yiping: "..."

"Brother Ping, I hope I'll have the chance to call you my brother-in-law someday!"

"roll!"

"I'm leaving right now, brother-in-law!"

Who said we're siblings? Who said that?!
Why did I suddenly become the nation's brother-in-law?

Tang Yiping grew angrier the more he thought about it, and then refreshed his project repository interface again.

Wow, 2 stars, 2 watching, and 3 forks!
Happy!
Tang Yiping immediately brightened up again and opened the forum L site he frequented.

Hahaha, sure enough, someone replied!

Upon opening the post, I saw a reply: "Dude, how did you manage to write such terrible front-end and integration code?"

Tang Yiping: "???"

This forum is not friendly at all!
No, I need to rewrite it!
We can't let anyone look down on us!
With that in mind, Tang Yiping opened the project and started working on it.

He was so focused that he didn't notice that the number of forks for his project suddenly started to grow rapidly, from 3 to 5, 8, 10, 13...
