After rebirth, I found out that I have a childhood sweetheart

Lin Youxi blinked her eyes, put her arm around Liu Xiaoyu's shoulders, and looked at her with interest, "Afang is focused on planning the gameplay design. As for the script, you can see that it is only rough and lacks polish..."

"But, I only write game reviews and have no experience in developing games myself..."

"That's not important. What's important is whether you are interested and whether you have time?" Lin Youxi said gently, "After all, you have to write novels and go to work, so you may be busy at work..."

"Yes, yes, Xiaoyu has some!"

Yue Xinyi chimed in and complained, "She's not like those losers who write novels on Qidian who have to write every day. This book has been completed and published for a while. As for work, you know, it's the Internet winter now, there aren't that many games to write——"

Liu Xiaoyu patted his companion Yue Xinyi and then explained:

"I do have time to help, but after all, this is your story with Yuanyuan. Wouldn't it be inappropriate for me to butt in on it?"

"It doesn't matter. The original script only covers the fourth grade of elementary school. The rest of the story is up to us to imagine. Ah Fang and I never dated when we were students, and I don't think he can write anything great... You're a famous writer, so you'd definitely be suitable!"

"I...I want to take some time to think about it. After all, I have to be responsible for your work..."

"Yes, whether you are willing to join or not, I hope to get your guidance."

"okay."

After Liu Xiaoyu nodded, Mei Fang came out of the kitchen after washing the dishes. He found a bottle of oolong tea in the refrigerator, gulped down a few sips, and then looked at Lin Youxi who was staring at him with a smile, "What are you grinning at?"

"It's nothing! Come sit down and play games together!"

"Playing games... isn't that an interview? The creation story of Baimei Shiguang or something like that—"

"That kind of thing is the same as playing and talking at the same time!"

As Lin Youxi spoke, he pulled Mei Fang aside to sit next to Liu Xiaoyu, and then he searched for something under the TV cabinet.

"Let me see what to play..."

Now Mei Fang happened to be sitting next to him, so Liu Xiaoyu couldn't help but talk to him and complain:

"Compared to the last time I saw her, she looks really full of energy now!"

"Yes, I feel very energetic recently and always go to bed very late at night."

"That's good... like this."

Liu Xiaoyu smiled and said, "You are so lucky to have come through so much hardship."

"Happiness is happiness, but her current state... may not be a good thing."

"Ah? How is this not a good thing?"

When Liu Xiaoyu was surprised, Lin Youxi suddenly let out a very strange laugh.

“Hahahaha…let’s play this, hahahahaha!”

When Lin Youxi turned around, she couldn't help but grin foolishly at everyone, looking a little adorable. However, as she spoke with a smile, her hands involuntarily covered her cheeks, and she looked like she was struggling unwillingly.

"What's going on here?"

"The manic phase of bipolar disorder has begun, and sometimes I can't help laughing like this."

Mei Fang walked over and squatted while explaining, holding the bewildered Lin Youxi in his arms and gently comforting her, "Youxi is just very energetic recently, not aggressive, don't be afraid."

"No...I won't be afraid."

Liu Xiaoyu waved her hands quickly, "This will actually make me feel cute..."

Yue Xinyi also nodded, "Hahaha, Youxi suddenly became so cute, I was completely melted by her cuteness."

“Hahaha… I can’t take it anymore… I’m really so happy hahahaha—”

Lin Youxi covered her face and swayed in Mei Fang's arms, giggling non-stop, as if she would not stop even if she laughed herself hoarse. But Mei Fang just held Lin Youxi and let her laugh in his arms, and laughed along with her.

“What should I do…I…haha, I can’t do it anymore…hahaha!”

Seeing this amusing and funny scene, Yue Xinyi put her arm around Liu Xiaoyu's shoulder and chuckled, while Liu Xiaoyu beside her couldn't help but smile.

However, Liu Xiaoyu's smile was more like a polite smile, and she felt very uncomfortable inside.

It wasn't because of jealousy, but because he empathized with Lin Youxi's struggle and the effort to control his emotions.

She doesn't want this to happen...

Right?

Lin Youxi laughed for a while and then suddenly stopped laughing. She buried herself in Mei Fang's arms and refused to speak, then made a muffled humming sound.

Mei Fang whispered soothingly in her ear and asked her what was wrong.

"shameful."

Lin Youxi stammered, "I'm like a fool."

"How can you be like a fool..."

Mei Fang gently held Lin Youxi's cheek, "You are so cute like this, you."

Mei Fang turned around and apologized to the two guests. Liu Xiaoyu and Yue Xinyi also expressed their understanding, and the two of them sent messages to complain.

[This couple is really good... Do you feel like a pair of star-crossed lovers? I feel like after seeing them, I believe in love again. ]

[Stop talking nonsense... Stop laughing like that aunt of yours, you are more exaggerated than a patient with a mental illness.]

[Am I exaggerating that much?! Don’t talk nonsense.]

Mei Fang spent about ten minutes to calm Lin Youxi down, and then Lin Youxi slowly climbed up from Mei Fang's arms. Liu Xiaoyu handed her a glass of water, and after she gulped down the water, she smiled and apologized to the two of them:

"This is what a manic episode is like, sorry hahaha."

"It's okay! It's pretty cute..."

"Alright, alright... I won't say much more... Let's play, play this!"

The cartridge that Lin Youxi found was "Overcooked 2", a game that emphasizes two-player cooperation.

In the game, players need to play the role of a chef cooking in the kitchen. They need to make suitable dishes according to the prepared ingredients and then serve them to the guests. The control of time is very important in this process, so it is also a work that emphasizes operational efficiency. The division of labor and cooperation between two people becomes extremely important.

However, if the process is wrong or there is no communication between the two parties, it is easy for some ingredients to not be processed in time, or processing the same thing at the same time will lead to a disorderly rhythm. This requires a high level of tacit understanding between the two people, so it can easily become a breakup game of mutual blame and complaints.

As people in the gaming industry, they had of course heard of this game a long time ago, so they started playing right away. Lin Youxi and Mei Fang were in one team, and Yue Xinyi and Liu Xiaoyu were in another team.

The competition between the two teams showed a huge gap in tacit cooperation from the very beginning. Mei Fang and Lin Youxi, who had completed 90% of the game, started chopping melons and vegetables frantically, while Liu Xiaoyu and Yue Xinyi were still in a hurry and shouting. After a few rounds of competition, there was no need to continue the game.

Yue Xinyi was beaten so hard that she started to cry: "We...we are really too weak..."

"I can't help it. After all, Fang and I have been playing for so long... How about this?"

As Lin Youxi spoke, she stood up from Mei Fang's arms and sat down between Liu Xiaoyu and Yue Xinyi.

"I'll be in a group with Xinyi, and you'll be in a group with Xiaoyu, Ah Fang. Let's switch teams and compete. This will be more fun."

"..."

Mei Fang and Liu Xiaoyu seemed a little hesitant in this team formation, but seeing Lin Youxi puffing up her cheeks, Mei Fang took the initiative to talk to Liu Xiaoyu:

"Let's give it a try. This way the fighting power will be more evenly matched."

"Yeah...Okay."

Liu Xiaoyu nodded slightly.

So the four of them started a happy brawl again.

"Xinyi Xinyi, hurry up and cut the vegetables! Let's make hamburgers!"

"I know, I know! Right now!"

"Mei Fang, I'll be busy over here."

"Yes, Liu Xiaoyu, take those potatoes over there."

"I got it, I got it!"

After the combat power was balanced again, the game immediately became tense, exciting and unique. In several rounds, everyone was racing against time to win the opponent, and the back and forth was very satisfying.

While playing, because Lin Youxi mixed in the names of Afang and Xiaoyu, Mei Fang and Liu Xiaoyu accidentally called each other "Xiaoyu" and "Afang" while playing, and sometimes they would accidentally touch each other's bodies, making both of them very embarrassed.

When Lin Youxi noticed this scene, she looked at him meaningfully, but the smile on her lips showed that she didn't seem to mind such interaction.

Everyone established deep friendships during the game of Overcooked, and they played until dusk, only then noticing that it was already evening.

At this time, Liu Xiaoyu also restrained the indulgent attitude during play, stood up, tidied his clothes and said: "It's almost time... Xinyi and I also want to..."

"No, it's already this late, why don't we have dinner together before leaving?"

"That's right. We can play other games together in the evening."

Yue Xinyi also looked like she was still unsatisfied. "I've been working as a wage earner for too long. I haven't been this happy for a long time. Haven't you done your interview yet?"

"Well...it's really too late. I can't bother you any more."

"It's okay... We can do the interview again next time. We're always welcome, right, Afang?"

At this moment, Lin Youxi sat in Mei Fang's arms again. The intimate posture made Mei Fang dispel some of his doubts that he was being pushed away.

"Of course you are welcome, you can come anytime."

Yue Xinyi said, "I think we can go to Xiaoyu's house next time and let her entertain you. You can't be so busy every time."

Liu Xiaoyu tied up her messy hair and said, "Sure... If you have a chance next time, come to my house as a guest."

"Okay, okay, then I will obey your command!"

As Lin Youxi spoke, she took Liu Xiaoyu's arm, turned around and said to Mei Fang, "Ah Fang, I'll take them home, you clean up the house."

"Row."

Mei Fang basically obeys Lin Youxi's arrangements and dotes on her so much!

Lin Youxi held Yue Xinyi's hand while Liu Xiaoyu's hand. The older girls walked hand in hand in the sunset, looking at the scenery by the river, feeling infinitely beautiful.

"Oh, the good days are so short. When I think about going to work tomorrow, I feel like a thousand ants are crawling around in my heart."

Yue Xinyi was sighing, but Lin Youxi stuck out her tongue at her:

"You should be content. At least you still have classes. I've been laid off and can't find a suitable job. I can only rely on Ah Fang for support..."

"At least you have someone to support you. I can only support myself and rely on Xiaoyu occasionally."

Lin Youxi said as he stroked his chin teasingly and looked at Liu Xiaoyu, "Xiaoyu's family is really rich."

"Okay... stop making fun of me, really..."
