After hearing this, the owner of the car dealership praised everyone, "You two siblings have a pretty good relationship with your parents. Since you are choosing gifts for your mother, it's rare to see children so sensible, so uncle will make an exception and give you another 200 off, and give you a helmet as a gift!"
"Okay, thank you uncle!"
While the car dealership owner was adjusting the electric bike, Lin Youxi poked Mei Fang's arm.
"He actually thinks we are siblings."
"You are a little taller than me, that's normal."
"Brother Fang, I am not just a little taller than you now."
Lin Youxi patted Mei Fang's head, then measured the distance with his fingers, "It's 2 centimeters higher now."
"Don't be too complacent, wait and see in a few years!" Mei Fang was very unconvinced.
Lin Youxi smiled and said, "Then I'll wait for you."
Mei Fang paid close attention to her diet during adolescence, and attached great importance to protein intake, because many children are very picky eaters during adolescence and do not get enough nutrition. Many parents at that time let their children run wild and did not care or think about these things.
Parents of Mei Fang's era were different. For fear that their children would lose at the starting line, they greatly increased their enthusiasm for raising their children. They provided them with good food and drink, and they never stopped drinking milk. The children in the first grade of junior high school were already 1.67 meters tall, which was terrifying.
After paying the corresponding amount, Mei Fang and Lin Youxi followed the shop owner to the electric car they had chosen.
"My two little friends, I have adjusted the bike for you. I just don't know if you know how to ride it. If you don't know, I will help you ride it back."
Lin Youxi was a little worried that her father would be at home and that both sides would be exposed, so she looked at Mei Fang:
"Afang, can you?"
"Don't worry, I've even ridden my dad's motorcycle, so an electric bike is even easier. But this one—"
The Aidu Li model comes in many colors, and Lin Youxi chose the black model which is more suitable for men.
For Mei Fang and Lin Youxi of this age, it is just right to sit on it.
Mei Fang thought about the way Lin Youxi's father rode the bike, and she would still feel awkward sitting on it.
"It's okay. My dad really doesn't care about this."
Lin Youxi patted Mei Fang's arm and said, "Let's just ride back together."
"Um... okay then."
"Put on your helmet."
Lin Youxi took out the helmet and handed it to Mei Fang. After Mei Fang put it on his head, he couldn't fasten the buttons properly. Seeing this, Lin Youxi reached out to help, "Let me help you."
Lin Youxi's slender white fingers were very close to Mei Fang's mouth while buttoning her clothes, and occasionally they would touch each other slightly, but Lin Youxi didn't care too much.
Mei Fang suddenly asked:
"Youxi, you can tie your shoelaces by yourself now, right?"
"Of course! Why are you suddenly saying this?" Lin Youxi frowned.
"I was just thinking... time flies by so fast. It feels like you were still a little girl who had to ask me and Yuanyuan to tie her shoelaces yesterday."
"I can't always ask you for help."
After Lin Youxi helped Mei Fang fasten her helmet, she patted Mei Fang on the shoulder and said, "I also hope that one day you can rely on me and let me do something for you..."
"Isn't what we usually do enough? We just discussed it."
Lin Youxi shook her head. "I want to be... to be more important. Um... I can't really describe how it feels right now. Well, let's take our time."
Mei Fang was riding an electric bike, while Lin Youxi was sitting on the small, exclusive back seat at the back of the bike, with his hands on Mei Fang's waist.
Mei Fang gently turned the handlebars, and the electric bike slowly moved forward. Then it came to the avenue and drove towards Lin Youxi's home.
It was already around ten o'clock in the morning. It was a sunny day today. The chilly wind was not very painful under the warm sunshine. With Mei Fang in front of her to help her withstand the wind, Lin Youxi felt very comfortable watching the crowd quickly retreat and disappear from her sight.
"Ah Fang, how come you know everything?"
Lin Youxi asked curiously, "You ride fast and steadily, much better than my dad, who always drives into bumpy places."
While waiting at the corner, Mei Fang reminded Lin Youxi: "Just talk, don't pinch my waist, it's a little itchy."
"You're really ticklish here."
Lin Youxi wanted to play a trick on Mei Fang, but since Fang was concentrating on driving, she restrained her thoughts.
Lin Youxi stretched out her hand and touched Mei Fang's belly, feeling like she was half hugging her.
"Then...if I hold you like this, will it itch?"
"Well... a little better, that's all."
The two of them rode their bikes to a street near their home. Mei Fang was waiting for the traffic light when Lin Youxi suddenly hugged Mei Fang tightly. Her body was pressed against Mei Fang's back, and her face was turned to the other side away from the street.
"Hey, hey... Youxi, what's wrong with you?"
Mei Fang was about to turn around, but Lin Youxi quickly pinched him and warned him in a low voice:
"Don't look over there! Yuanyuan and Teacher Yu are on the opposite street. We will be discovered!"
Chapter 073 A Gift for Dad
Is Yuanyuan here?
Mei Fang’s first thought was to ride away on his bike, but he remembered that he was still wearing a life-saving equipment on his head.
"Oh, I'm wearing a helmet and it's okay. No one should be able to recognize me."
Mei Fang looked across the street and indeed caught a glimpse of Xia Yuan.
At this moment, Xia Yuan was holding her mother's hand, and both of them were holding a bag in each hand, as if they had just returned from shopping for clothes.
She and her mother were talking and laughing, and seemed not to notice Mei Fang and Lin Youxi across the street.
After the light turned green, Mei Fang turned the corner and stopped, but Lin Youxi still held him tightly.
"Yuanyuan won't see it anymore, so you can let go."
"Ah Fang, do you think she can see us?"
Mei Fang shook his head. "That's not the case..."
"you sure?"
"Hmm... from such a distance, I wouldn't be able to recognize you even if I saw you!"
"That's good." Lin Youxi slowly let go of Mei Fang's embrace, "Let's go home now."
"But, Youxi..." Mei Fang paused, "Don't you think it's a bit weird for us to do this?"
"Strange...what?"
Mei Fang explained, "Although buying a bike and riding it today is a special case, I feel that after junior high school, we always seem to be sneaky when we are together. It's the same at school. You don't usually talk to me. It feels too deliberate."
"Yuanyuan is not in the same class with you now, and the academic pressure is too great. If the two of us always play together, I think——"
Lin Youxi paused, "I think she will feel very insecure."
"That's true, but..."
Mei Fang said worriedly, "I care about Yuanyuan as much as you do, but I also hope you can care more about yourself. It's okay if you don't talk to me... but don't force yourself not to talk to me, it will be very uncomfortable."
"I'm not fine!"
Lin Youxi suddenly pinched Mei Fang in anger.
"Ah Fang, you are good in every way, but this is the most annoying thing about you! You always like to guess what I am thinking, and I like the way things are now. You must focus on studying at school and put more effort into studying, otherwise——"
As Lin Youxi was talking, she suddenly realized something. She leaned over from behind Mei Fang and whispered in his ear:
"Ah Fang... do you feel uneasy because I'm ignoring you at school?"
"Ah? Haha, stop joking, how is that possible..."
The warm breath from Lin Youxi's words hit Mei Fang's ears, and she felt numb...
As soon as Mei Fang finished speaking, Lin Youxi suddenly kept pinching him, making Mei Fang scream:
"Hey, stop messing around! You are our class monitor, okay? Class monitor Lin, you are too naughty! If the students in Class 9 see you, they will laugh at you!"
"Hey, Team Leader Mei, please understand. We are not in school now."
Lin Youxi pinched the flesh on Mei Fang's waist and said, "I am not the squad leader Lin Youxi now. I am your childhood sweetheart Youxi now. Get to know the situation clearly."
She smiled and pinched Mei Fang's shoulders. "Actually, I thought you had made a lot of new friends at school, so you should be very fulfilled and you don't need me to accompany you all the time. But since Ah Fang will feel lonely, then I should get closer to you and play with you more often when I'm not at school."
"Who is lonely? Let's not talk about you and Yuanyuan. My naughty little sister is only 7 years old now. She annoys me every day and makes so much noise."
Mei Fang didn't understand why the topic suddenly turned into his loneliness. Fortunately, Lin Youxi didn't continue to talk about this with him and changed the subject:
"By the way, how is the early bird catches the worm game we made overseas now?"
"I haven't watched it for a long time. There are dozens of downloads a day, but I can't make much money."
Mei Fang's operating strategy is to put it out for free, and then make some money from traffic and advertising. There are only three fixed opportunities for immediate resurrection a day, but clicking on an advertisement will give you another chance to resurrect.
In 08, the first generation of Pingguo did not enter the domestic market at all. Mei Fang had already had a lot of trouble setting up an overseas payment account. This time it is just a test of the waters process. If this game really wants to become popular, it has to wait for Pingguo to go international, become a real social game, and introduce rankings and sharing, before it can become popular.
"Now that this game is done, we can put it aside for now. Let's think about what kind of game we want to make in the future. Ah Fang, do you have any ideas?"
"Of course there is...but the timing is not right yet. Let's wait a year or two and see."
U3D does not support Android at this time, and Mei Fang's advance layout in the game can only go so far. Mei Fang does not have enough time, technology and manpower to make an independent terminal game.
"Also, I want to see if I have the ability to run a video website."
"A website for watching videos... you mean, something like Yang Yu You Ku?"
"No... It's a relatively new website technology that I learned about on the forum. It's a bullet screen video playback website. It's quite popular in Sakura Country in the past two years."
"Egg-tomb?"
Lin Youxi was very curious about the unknown knowledge. She kept pushing Mei Fang's back and urging him, "Tell me quickly, what is that for?"
"Hmm... that website, you should learn JAVA and GOLANG first. The specific function is that the messages sent by others can appear on the video you are watching in the form of scrolling..."
Mei Fang drove Lin Youxi and chatted about his future plans to become an industry tycoon, and soon they arrived at Youxi's home.
Youxi's house is a relatively old two-story house with a single door and courtyard. Seeing the motorcycle parked in front of the house, she said to Mei Fang:
"Dad should be home by now. I'll go call him."
