Mei Fang's embarrassed posture amused the girls, but everyone was considerate of Mei Fang's face and no one laughed out loud. Xia Yuan even considerately lifted Mei Fang up from the water, patted his back and said soothingly, "Huh... Look at how scared our brother A Fang is... It seems that we still need to practice a few more times."

Guo Yun blushed as she lifted up the shoulder strap that Mei Fang had nearly pulled off, then cleared her throat and continued the conversation, "It seems that Mei Fang is indeed quite afraid of the feeling of being in contact with buoyancy alone..."

Thanks to everyone's unremitting efforts and an afternoon of hard work, Mei Fang, whose progress had been slow, finally began to make some progress and was finally able to swim forward by himself.

Xia Yuan looked at Mei Fang's happy expression as she swam forward and waved at them, and suddenly couldn't help but cover her face and mutter:

"I don't know why, but I always feel like I'm seeing my own child finally learn to walk, wuwu——"

"Come to think of it, when we were learning to ride a bicycle, Ah Fang also worked so hard to teach us." Lin Youxi smiled at Xia Yuan, "Do you still remember what happened at that time?"

"I remember, of course I remember!"

Xia Yuan also smiled and responded, "I remember that because you were a slow learner, Ah Fang always followed you around, and I was jealous."

"After all, my sense of balance has always been poor, even when I was roller skating..."

Guo Yun leaned against the edge of the swimming pool, listening to Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi telling stories from the past, and immediately became interested, "The Mei Fang in your memories is more like the deskmate I knew."

Xia Yuan nodded, "Indeed... When I was in junior high school, I always felt that Ah Fang was omnipotent, and I would always think of him first when I had anything to do."

"But it's not bad now, isn't it..."

Lin Youxi smiled and said, "No matter how outstanding Ah Fang is, he is still a person like us. He has his strengths, weaknesses, and fears. We have been relying on Ah Fang's company since we were young, and we can make up for his shortcomings and do things for him."

As she spoke, she turned her gaze to Guo Yun, "It's the same for you, Guo Yun. Your abilities are indispensable to Ximilu Studio and Ah Fang. However, you are only one person and cannot shoulder all the responsibilities. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Well... I understand." Guo Yun looked a little guilty. "The progress of Cloud Journey is slow right now. It's because the art department can't keep up with the pace."

"If it's true that we don't have any classmates in high school who are interested in making games, then that's fine. We are now planning to set up a company and will recruit some artists. Of course, most of them will probably be newcomers with little experience..."

Xia Yuan immediately took over the conversation and said, "I saw that you did a good job in guiding Ah Fang just now. Maybe if you take this step and try to communicate more with people other than us, you will find that communication is not so scary, right?"

"Yes...I understand..."

Guo Yun smiled and nodded. She actually felt a great sense of accomplishment from guiding Mei Fang just now. She had obviously said goodbye to her past self with low self-esteem, but she still had some time to get used to the real self-confidence.

"If I can recruit new artists, or if I have the opportunity to find someone at school that I think I can work with, I will...try to communicate more."

Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi unknowingly completed a growth interview with Guo Yun for Mei Fang, while Mei Fang was still immersed in the excitement of learning to swim.

I'm no longer a landlubber, quack quack, puff pu pu pu pu——

A mediocre swimmer is most likely to drown, and Mei Fang is in this state now.

Chapter 237 Seventeenth Birthday Gift

June in Jiangcheng is scorching hot and unbearable, but July is the real torture. The outdoor temperature every day can bake Xiang Bingbing into steam.

Boarding students have never been so eager to stay in the classroom and study hard as they are now. After all, taking classes in an air-conditioned classroom is a wonderful experience.

The school classrooms only have air conditioning turned on in late June and are no longer in use at the end of August. In essence, it is only serving the sophomores and those about to become seniors.

Because there is no need to make up classes during the summer vacation of the first year of high school, this is a privilege only available to students of Jiangcheng Normal University No. 1 High School.

After completing the final exams on July 7, everyone officially ended their first year of high school, officially entered summer vacation, and became students about to enter their second year of high school.

In addition to what is written in the notebook, the summer homework for the first year of high school also includes many social practice activities. If you have participated in a club before, the activities you participate in are relatively rich depending on the club, so if you are willing to stay in Jiangcheng, there are still many things to do.

Mei Fang, Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi naturally had no intention of returning home during the summer vacation, but Liang Meijuan wanted to go home a little, so she was a little confused when she learned that the three little ones did not plan to go home. Lin Youxi saw what her mother was thinking, so she took the initiative to suggest that the three of them could take care of themselves in Jiangcheng.

When this proposal was passed back home, it naturally aroused the vigilance of Mei Fang's mother Xiang Xiaoxia.

She called Mei Fang and gave him a severe lecture, asking him to come back more often to spend time with his family and to help and supervise his sister with her homework.

But Mei Fang did know what her mother was worried about.

On the one hand, he sent Mei Ya a set of high-end aircraft models that she had long coveted to get her sister's help. On the other hand, he summoned Sister Yueyue, who was currently working as a "freelancer" in Jiangcheng, and asked Meiyue to take care of the three of them instead of Liang Meijuan.

Under the double attack of Mei Yue and Mei Ya, Xiang Xiaoxia finally gave in, but still gave Mei Fang many verbal warnings and teachings from an elder on the phone.

It's really not for the sake of being naughty, mom.

I haven't finished this game yet, so I'll take this opportunity to release "Cloud Journey"...

The official release date set by Mei Fang for the "Journey in the Cloud" project is August 8th.

Different from the simple production of "Reign" and "Restart Simulator", this is an independent game product that can be called a big-budget one, which will enable Ximilu Studio to get rid of the name of a small workshop and become an independent studio with a place in the industry.

It has been nearly a year since the project of "Cloud Journey" was launched last year. As an independent game, and a part-time operation, the development cycle is not that long. However, for high school students, they don't have much time left.

Because, unless he revealed his identity as the webmaster of Station C, it would be a fantasy for Mei Fang and his friends to persuade parents to continue their gaming career under the pressure of the college entrance examination.

What's more, Mei Fang and Lin Youxi had also planned to participate in the NOI Information Olympiad in their second year of high school, and had no time to take care of other things.

Although Mei Fang still has many cards in hand, given his conservative and stable character, and the fact that he is still only a high school student, he will continue to hide things that can be avoided.

After saying goodbye to Youxi's mother Liang Meijuan, Mei Yue came to the community where Mei Fang and his family lived the next day. On the one hand, she also fulfilled the duties of a temporary guardian, and for this purpose she also had a video call with Xiang Xiaoxia.

On the other hand, Mei Yue also reported the progress of the company's preparations to her cousin Mei Fang separately.

Under Mei Fang's instruction, Mei Yue now has to apply to register two companies at the same time. The first is Station C, which has the largest industry scale, and the application name is Linxi Technology; the second is Ximilu Studio, and the application name submitted is Ximilu.

"Currently, the registration materials for Station C and Sago Studio have been submitted. The business license will be issued in about a month. Later, I will need to find an office space... It should be okay to open these two companies together, otherwise it will be troublesome to manage them."

"No problem. You need to confirm the budget and other things first, and then I will allocate the money to you."

When Mei Yue was reporting, she specifically asked her cousin: "Speaking of the meaning of the name 'Linxi Technology', it means that the entire C site will be handed over to Youxi in the future, right?"

"Um... Is there anything wrong with this? Youxi can be said to be the founder of Station C, both externally and internally."

Although she had doubts about this before, Mei Yue still felt that Mei Fang and Xia Yuan were probably in a relationship.

"I know you guys have a pretty good relationship, but this is a business deal after all. Even brothers have to settle accounts, not to mention you're just childhood sweethearts."

"What do you mean by just childhood sweethearts..."

Mei Fang immediately shook her head and smiled, "Since we started working on C-site in junior high school, I said that this website was a gift for her, and she will naturally be in charge of it in the future. If there is no trust at all, Youxi and I should not live together."

Mei Fang has enough trust in his childhood sweetheart, not to mention that he is pursuing a career to realize his self-worth, and he already has the guarantee of BAK to make a lot of money.

But in Mei Yue's view, Station C is a huge industry with tens of millions of assets. Ordinary people dare not even think about it. If it is completely handed over to Lin Youxi, she would find it a bit difficult to understand.

"Of course I understand your concerns... But you don't have to worry about it. Before that, I was the only one who handled the external capital operations of the three of us. They also trusted me and left the money to me."

"As for the issue of equity distribution after the listing, my idea is to let Youxi hold a portion of it on my behalf. Because if I don't give Youxi any equity, she will just be a senior employee of mine and have no substantive position on the board of directors. It will become a situation where I have to make the final decision on everything, which is exhausting."

"I see that you know a lot at such a young age... Since you know everything clearly, I won't say anything more."

Mei Yue originally thought that his relationship with Youxi could not always be that good, especially after he and Xia Yuan were publicly together. Given Youxi's strong performance, she did not look like the type of person who would silently bless him. If they ended up parting ways and breaking up, it would definitely have a major impact on the company's future development.

But it’s hard to say what will happen in the future. Maybe after spending some time with Yuanyuan, my cousin will feel that Youxi is more attractive and will be with her. No one can say for sure.

In name, Mei Yue took over from Liang Meijuan to take care of the three little ones' daily lives. However, this nominal guardian usually did nothing but eat, drink and sleep except going out to do errands. She hardly did any housework. Lin Youxi cooked, Xia Yuan did the housework, and Mei Fang was responsible for all the hard work of carrying things and running errands, as well as the labor that cost money.

However, the three little ones are enjoying this kind of life.

At the same time, for Mei Fang and Lin Youxi, every year when summer vacation comes, they always need to prepare for a special day.

That was Xia Yuan’s birthday.

Yuanyuan's lunar birthday is June 6.13, which often falls during the summer vacation when converted to the Gregorian calendar. At that time, we can often have fun, and this year is no exception.

It was early in the morning and Xia Yuan and Mei Yue had not yet gotten up. When Mei Fang got up, Lin Youxi was already busy in the kitchen, so he went straight to the kitchen to observe Lin Youxi.

"What delicious food are you making today? Can I try it first? I'm a little hungry."

"Hmm...try this first."

While Mei Fang was leaning closer, Lin Youxi put something in her mouth, held Mei Fang's cheek, gave Mei Fang a sweet good morning kiss, and then put something into Mei Fang's mouth.

"Is it tasty?"

"It's delicious, it's candied dates."

Mei Fang was not surprised by Lin Youxi's attack. After all, this kind of daily routine happened almost all the time after Aunt Meijuan left. He licked his lips and savored it. At this time, Lin Youxi was busy watching over the fried eggs in the pan while asking Mei Fang:

"Speaking of which, what gift are you going to give Yuanyuan for her birthday this year?"

"Well... I haven't thought about it yet. Let's just leave it the same as before."

"After all, it's Yuanyuan's seventeenth birthday. If we don't prepare carefully, Yuanyuan will be very sad."

Mei Fang was a little confused: "It's neither the legal age of 16 nor the adult age of 18. Is there anything special about this age? Didn't we both have simple birthdays this year? Isn't this your 17th birthday too?"

"It has nothing to do with me. It's mainly Yuanyuan's birthday. This is a small agreement between Yuanyuan and me."

Lin Youxi explained, "I promised Yuanyuan before that I would give her the most unforgettable 17th birthday present, so I hope you can help me and give her the birthday present as well."

"Before? How come I, your childhood friend, have never heard of it... When did you agree to her?"

Lin Youxi smiled at Mei Fang and said, "It was an agreement we made seven years ago."

Chapter 238 The Promise Seven Years Ago

(I got the time wrong earlier, it should be 10 years ago when I was 041 years old, what the heck QWQ, I have corrected it, you can go back and look for clues in )

"The agreement seven years ago?"

Mei Fang asked curiously, "Seven years ago... that was 05. We should have been in the third or fourth grade at that time, right?"

"Fourth grade was the year you and Yuanyuan ran away from home, and... the year you accompanied me to visit mom. It was also the year you were preparing to move to Baizhou City."

"So many things happened that year? I have almost no recollection of them."

Mei Fang scratched his head, "So...what happened that year?"

"When Yuanyuan's birthday was approaching that year, I lost the music box that I was going to give her as a birthday present. It was the pocket money I had saved for a long time to give to Yuanyuan."

Lin Youxi explained the reason to Mei Fang, "But my family was in financial difficulty at the time, and my uncle had just borrowed some money from my father a while ago. I didn't want to cause trouble for my father, so I made a time treasure box overnight as a replacement and prepared to give it to Yuanyuan as a birthday gift."

"There is actually such a time!" Mei Fang was very surprised, "Why don't you ask me for help?"

Lin Youxi gently pinched Mei Fang's cheek, "Actually, we weren't that close when we were in elementary school. I was always with Yuanyuan, and Fang was just a substitute to comfort myself when Yuanyuan was not around."

“This makes me very sad…”

"Anyway, things changed after you accompanied me to visit my mother."

Lin Youxi continued, "Later, for Yuanyuan's birthday that year, she invited many of your classmates to go to Weijiawei, the fried chicken restaurant in Baimei County that imitated KFC and McDonald's. Do you remember it?"

"Oh, that time... I remember it."

In elementary school, it was the most stylish and prestigious thing for kids to celebrate birthdays together at a hamburger or fried chicken restaurant. Only a county lady like Xia Yuan was qualified to host this event.
