Before Cheng Lingxi was eighteen years old, the only thing he would do was study.

Since she was a child, she has been hanging beams and stabbing strands, and her sac is as easy as finding a bag.

It's a pity that the fortunate event of being admitted to Tsinghua University brought this girl not a bigger stage, but a slow and heavy blow.

After all, the surrounding classmates are all champions, and no one wants to be the second place, and the atmosphere of the competition is naturally terrifying.

After the start of school, the exams and tests continued, and Lingxi's grades were in the middle once or twice, of course, it could be explained as being uncomfortable, but if there were too many times, she couldn't dece herself anymore.

Maybe the English of poor children is not as good as those who can go abroad to play since they were young.

Perhaps in the face of increasingly complex computer courses, she is indeed far from those male students.

Maybe it's not a small setback, but the beginning of a banality......

Cheng Lingxi, who is used to being excellent, didn't dare to continue to think about it, so he could only judge recklessly: he was indeed not distracted enough.

Learning to play DND, thinking about Xiao Yunshen every day, spending all his time on illusory things, and getting nothing in the end, it's not strange at all.

Such an obsession is too stupid.

――

In the same year, Xiao Yun had a hard time.

He expanded his studio, hired a few more right-hand men, and took on design projects that were more complex than ever.

Probably standing at thirty, I instinctively wanted to fight again.

So in this way, there is naturally not much leisure time.

When he rarely has time to rest, he is not happy to go out at all, just looking forward to staying in front of the computer and playing games.

Who would have thought that Baozi, who used to accompany him unconditionally, has frequently refused recently, not only is he not on DND, but even the number of appearances on chat software has become very rare.

Xiao Yunshen was a little worried about the little girl he had never met, and couldn't help but leave a message: "Nothing happened to you, right?" I don't have to drag you around, but you're at a bit of an unusual pace. ”

In fact, Lingxi has nothing to hide from the fact that she is not good enough, she saw Teacher Xiao's question online, so she cautiously replied: "My grades are not very good, I have to hurry up recently." ”

said to be a hurry, but in fact, the strong girl has pushed herself to the limit of what her body can bear, sleeping for three or four hours a day, reading books like crazy, doing questions, memorizing words, and people are so thin that they can hardly read.

"I don't know you college students very well, don't you study every day?" Xiao Yunshen happened to be online, thought about it and inquired: "Studying at a prestigious university?" ”

Baozi didn't seem to have much energy, and it took a long time to reply: "Sort of." ”

Xiao Yunshen has no habit of relying on anyone, nor is he used to being relied on by anyone, he has been out alone for many years, and he has long seen the success or failure very thoroughly.

He hated being a life coach, but he couldn't bear to see the person he cared about depressed, and after thinking about it for a while, he still clicked on the chat voice invitation.

Unexpectedly, the mysterious bun was connected in an instant, and a still vague but gentle voice was made: "What's wrong?" ”

"Talk to you, I think you're unhappy." Xiao Yunshen chuckled.

Baozi was silent for a moment and explained: "I'm not unhappy, I can only study since I was a child, and I have always been the first in the exam, but after college, I began to be inferior to the classmates around me, so I decided that I couldn't mess around like this." ”

"I haven't met you in person, but judging by the frequency of your "I'm going to read" sentence, I don't think you're messing around. Xiao Yunshen asked rhetorically: "Besides, even if you are desperately trying to do a good job now, what about it?" In the future, when you get to a better environment, you will still have a nervous breakdown again, and there is no such thing as "the best person in the world". ”

Baozi asked in a whisper, "What do you want to express?" ”

"I want to say, hello Lai is in college, don't be like a child, find your own interests and work hard, it is far more important than getting a few more papers." Xiao Yunshen propped his chin in front of the computer and said: "Although I don't want to boast, I can live a super comfortable life in Beijing just by painting, buy a lot of luxury goods that ordinary people dare not think of, be sought after, be liked, and live a life that is not to say how successful it is, at least it is enough to see." ”

Hearing this, Baozi began to fall silent.

Xiao Yunshen never hid her life in contact with each other, and she didn't know how much she knew about herself, so she continued: "But do you know what I was like in high school? ”

Baozi snorted quietly: "I don't know." ”

"At that time, I had super poor grades, average sports, and a bad family background, and I was useless except for drawing cartoons to deceive the little girls in the next class." Xiao Yunshen is very calm: "But it is because of these few strokes that I have a firm expectation for the future, my parents did not support me to study art, I carried my bag and went to Beijing alone, from brushing dishes, to watching nightclubs, from stealing pictures to stealing small trademarks, basically you can think of hard work without too much dignity, I have done all of it." ”

Bun said, "I know you're a very strong person......"

"No, I'm not strong at all, I'm super afraid of trouble." Xiao Yun smiled deeply: "But I firmly pretend to paint in my heart, I can't let go of it, no matter how tired I am from working, I will still tick on the paper in my free time, if I can't practice a piece, I will practice a thousand pieces, so many things that seem exhausting, I am happy to be able to get to this point, just because I am a person who knows what to want." ”

Baozi is a very smart girl, and when it comes to this, she obviously understands what Teacher Xiao means, so she said depressedly: "I understand that even if I take a few more points in my homework, I can't change my bad life state, but I really don't know what I want." ”

"First of all, you should take it easy and clear your mind, instead of blindly comparing yourself with others." Xiao Yunshen worked hard to guide: "You see that you played the game very well, are you interested in this matter?" Or do you like something else? College majors are important, but it doesn't have to be a crooked neck tree that you have to hang for the rest of your life, although I haven't been to college, after all, I've seen a lot of people whose jobs are not related to their majors. ”

"I know what you mean, I'll figure it out." Baozi said softly.

Xiao Yun saw that persuasion had some effect, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "Well, but there's nothing wrong with studying hard, don't just listen to me, a bad student's family." ”

Hearing this, Baozi suddenly showed his first shallow smile of the day, and seemed to have relaxed a lot.

――

In fact, Xiao Yunshen's enlightenment that day was one of the few in Lingxi's life, and it came from the care of adults.

Her parents once had no time to take care of her, and she was used to taking care of any problems by herself.

If you are too lonely, you will inevitably get into the horns and make the road narrower and narrower.

Fortunately, this frustration was finally brought to rest.

For the recent mid-term assessment of Tsinghua University, the little girl is still preparing carefully, but she also mustered up the courage to start a new attempt and signed up for the college student software design competition with a senior student.

Although it was almost an unfamiliar field to Lingxi, and with her level, it was not a miracle, but her heart was still full of motivation for it.

In fact, as Xiao Yunshen said, she played the game very well, from the beginning of understanding DND, to really entering the new world that is completely different from her past life, the relaxation, happiness and confidence she has gained in her heart are really indescribable.

Why is that?

Why is it that a few strings of code and a few drawings can be put together to produce so much magic?

She didn't understand why, she wanted to know the answer.

She began to aspire to be a person who made online games.
