Like all mothers in the world, Li Xiuyun did not give up her purpose lightly because of her son's obstruction, and in the few days she spent with Lingxi, she brainwashed her to have a child early at every turn.

Fortunately, Cheng Lingxi's temper is really gentle, no matter what her mother-in-law says, she can smile and wait.

On the contrary, Xiao Yunshen couldn't get used to his mother's behavior, and before going to work one morning, he grabbed her and warned her: "Mom, please stop meddling, you should eat, you should play, and don't give Lingxi those strange Chinese medicines of yours, you know?" ”

"Okay, that's long-winded, you can go quickly." Li Xiuyun nodded with a smile.

Xiao Yunshen looked at her with no peace of mind, and then hurriedly left with his notebook.

When the living room was quiet again, Li Xiuyun's eyes rolled and he immediately rushed into the kitchen, extremely athletic.

——

Since the studio doesn't have a lot of people, the proprietress suddenly doesn't go to work for the whole week, and there must be something that can't be done.

Lingxi is very responsible for this and doesn't want to shirk it, so he catches up a little code in the study every morning, and then goes to hang out with Li Xiuyun in the afternoon.

The aroma of coffee slowly diffused around the table, making her feel good.

Before I had time to pick it up and taste it, my mother-in-law walked in with a smile: "Oh, don't drink that foreign thing all the time, everyone has said that coffee is not good for the heart, come, drink the soup I boiled for you." ”

"Mom, don't be busy." Lingxi got up embarrassedly.

"Come on, come on, sit down, sit down." Li Xiuyun got along with her a lot, and she liked the quiet character of this daughter-in-law, and after pressing her shoulder to urge her to sit down, she said like a treasure: "I have been stewing since five o'clock in the morning, and the nutrition is in the soup." ”

Lingxi scooped up the strange ingredients in the bowl, and looked embarrassed: "But, what is this......

"It's all good for your health, it's for the palace." Li Xiuyun's face was full of anticipation.

Lingxi looked at her smile and felt that it was not her own mother after all, so she couldn't bear to refuse, so she frowned, tried her best to pour the bitter decoction into her stomach, and then wiped her mouth and said, "Thank you, Mom, when I'm done, I'll take you wherever you want to go in the afternoon." ”

"Just rest at home, everything that should be bought has been purchased, I have to go back on the weekend, I don't feel at ease when the old man is home alone." Li Xiuyun was satisfied, and walked away lightly with the bowl.

Cheng Lingxi shook his head helplessly, secretly wondering if when he grew old, would it become so eventful.

——

As it turned out, Mr. Xiao's worries were not wrong.

Cheng Lingxi, who was originally fine, began to vomit non-stop at noon, and finally his stomach was empty, and he had a high fever again, and he collapsed on the bed, looking half-alive, and couldn't even speak.

Li Xiuyun was so frightened that she was in a hurry, and she didn't get better after taking care of her for a long time, and then she called her son to explain the situation.

Xiao Yunshen was unexpectedly angry: "Mom, I have said countless times that she is not in good health, and she can't help you toss, what do you want to do in Beijing?" Let's go home tomorrow! ”

"I didn't want to toss her, I was ...... for her" Li Xiuyun was very aggrieved.

"You always say that you are good for others, but you are not willing to think about what others want, you are selfish!" Xiao Yunshen has never been so harsh with outsiders, but in the face of his mother, he did not suppress his feelings: "I have to call 120 first and send her to the hospital for an examination in the past hour." ”

"Okay." Li Xiuyun agreed, but she didn't care about bickering, so she hurriedly complied.

Cheng Lingxi, who was lying in the bedroom, was dizzy, and couldn't hear the movement outside at all, only felt that Baozi was always screaming around the bed, so he said angrily: "I...... It's okay......"

Baozi quickly licked the owner's hanging hand to show comfort, and looked cute.

——

After the doctor's examination, Li Xiuyun realized that her daughter-in-law was cold and weak, and she drank so many tonic herbs at once, she couldn't bear it at all, and finally had gastric lavage and infusion, and the high fever subsided until midnight.

Xiao Yunshen was worried and tired, and in the end, his face was not much better than Lingxi's, and he saw that the needle of the liquid was pulled out by the nurse, so he reached out and touched her forehead: "Okay, don't be afraid." ”

Lingxi still didn't have the strength, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Li Xiuyun dozing off on the hospital bed next to him, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Why don't you ask your mother to go back to sleep...... She's so old......"

"I persuaded her a few times, and asked Sister Li to pick her up, but I couldn't help it if she refused to leave." Xiao Yunshen obviously hasn't accepted his mother's recklessness yet.

"Okay, don't be angry with your mother." Lingxi smiled weakly: "Do you need to be hospitalized?" I want to go home......"

"I'll ask." Xiao Yunshen immediately got up and left the ward.

Li Xiuyun, who woke up when she heard the movement, grabbed her daughter-in-law's arm very weakly: "How do you feel?" Still uncomfortable, isn't it uncomfortable? It's all my ...... blame."

"It's not uncomfortable, I don't blame you." Cheng Lingxi was still tolerant: "I don't understand either, otherwise I won't drink it." ”

Li Xiuyun wiped the corners of her eyes: "Fortunately, you're fine, otherwise Yun Shen wouldn't have forgiven me." ”

"It's so strict, he's your son, what's there to forgive or not...... It must have been someone who was in a hurry to talk nonsense to you just now, I will persuade him, you must rest well, don't think about it......" Lingxi said soothingly.

In the face of her daughter-in-law's generosity, Li Xiuyun was moved and had nothing to say, and suddenly realized that her concern with nowhere to put it seemed to really disturb the lives of the children.

——

"You don't have an empty stomach, I just ordered porridge for you, do you want to drink some and go to bed again?" After Xiao Yunshen sent Lingxi and his mother home, he still refused to rest.

"It's a little nauseous and I don't want to eat it." Lingxi fell on the pillow and asked, "Did Mom eat it?" Bring it to her. ”

"I ate, when I was in the hospital, I took her to eat Chinese food nearby, and the old man didn't like to eat at night." Xiao Yunshen sat on the edge of the bed and said, "She has already gone to sleep, you just need to take care of yourself." ”

"You know she's an old man, so don't talk about her all the time." Lingxi curled the corners of her mouth: "Our life, our habits, are incomprehensible to the elderly, no matter how many superfluous things she does, it is because she loves you, and you left home at a very young age, your mother must be very sad and lonely, you think she doesn't understand you, in fact, you don't really understand her......"

"It's me who didn't do it well." Xiao Yunshen admitted.

"Also, you are so gentle with anyone and never angry, why do you have so much affection with your mother? Is it because she didn't support your dream and didn't let you be admitted to the Academy of Fine Arts, and you have a pimple in your heart? Cheng Lingxi asked bluntly.

Xiao Yunshen smiled bitterly: "Maybe somewhat, once I prove myself right, I hate her for interfering with anything about me...... But what makes me most angry today is that she hurt you. ”

"She did it unintentionally, and she already knows it's wrong, so don't you blame me for drinking indiscriminately?" Lingxi suddenly hugged his waist and said coquettishly: "Anyway, don't quarrel anymore, I don't like to see you quarrel, go and apologize to your mother tomorrow morning, okay?" ”

Xiao Yunshen smiled silently.

"Okay?" Lingxi looked up at him.

Xiao Yunshen leaned over and kissed it, and said in a low voice, "Hmm." ”

"I knew you were the best......" After Lingxi achieved his goal, he could no longer resist the rolling drowsiness brought by the drug, and slowly closed his eyes.

Xiao Yunshen was still sitting next to her, patting her back again and again, as if he would never get bored.

Maybe Cheng Lingxi doesn't look as radiant as those beautiful women with exquisite makeup, but her gentleness and kindness from the bottom of her heart are always so beautiful that he can't take his eyes off, and often makes him feel like a mirror without dust, so that it is so easy to see the shortcomings in his body.

——

The next morning, there was movement at home very early.

Xiao Yunshen heard the sound of his mother walking around the corridor with buns, so he got up and walked out of the door: "Morning." ”

Li Xiuyun was already dressed up, turned her head and smiled, "Morning, the dinner is on the table for us." ”

"What are you doing here?" Xiao Yunshen followed behind and asked, "Was it because my tone was too impulsive yesterday?" It's all my fault, don't ......."

"It's Mom's fault." Li Xiuyun stopped and said: "What you are telling is the truth, I am just thinking about my own thoughts, but I don't estimate what you want......

"Mom." Xiao Yunshen saw his elderly mother blaming herself like this, and he felt bad in his heart: "My brainless words are not allowed to go to my heart." ”

"Hey, after staying for so long, it's time to go home, your dad urges me every day." Li Xiuyun smiled: "When you need me in the future, I will ensure that I will be the first to arrive." ”

"It's not that I don't want children." Xiao Yunshen finally told the truth: "But Lingxi has her own career and dreams, once a woman has a child, her life will be completely changed, you understand this better than me, maybe everyone thought that serving the family was what women should do, but in fact it is not, she is still young, and so smart, she must have the right to choose freely, so I hope you don't put any pressure on her." ”

I don't know if Li Xiuyun really understood these words, but she still nodded and didn't refute willfully.

As long as you get busy, time will naturally fly by.

After sending off his mother-in-law, Cheng Lingxi followed the seniors of the studio for more than half a year, from spring to summer, from summer to autumn, at a speed that no one could imagine, the new stand-alone game that was established at the beginning of the project was developed, and then kept making optimization and adjustments, although tired, but also fulfilling.

In terms of picture quality and striking effect, the quality of their games is indeed second to none in the domestic market, and Xiao Yunshen frequently appears in various media for sales, making it the first place in the game rankings in terms of expectations, and almost all the potential to become popular.

However, the weak awareness of domestic copyright, the low price of a single machine, and the high cost of transnational development and publicity really worried Lingxi, although she thought that completing Xiao Yunshen's dream was something she had to do, but in addition to this, she also had to consider some retreats, so the production of the strategy game has been carried out intermittently.

——

It's winter snow again.

Although the game is approaching and there is a lot of pressure, on the day of the New Year, the studio still gave everyone a holiday in advance, and asked the logistics to dress up the park shiny for those colleagues who do not go to the city to hold a duì New Year's Eve here.

Since Xiao Yunshen was still recording a program on the TV station, Lingxi didn't stay long, packed his things and hurriedly found his car, ready to go to the city to meet him.

Who knew that Yue Xuan suddenly came out of the corner, dressed like a dog, with a smile on his face: "Little sister, where are you going?" ”

Although this guy is very playful all day long, the legal affairs that he has been assigned to do have been completed have also been completed, so Xiao Yunshen doesn't care much.

Lingxi put the New Year's gift in the trunk and replied, "Go to the TV station, do you want me to take you to the city?" ”

"If you want it, my car is limited today." Yue Xuan immediately shook in front of her, rubbed his hands and said, "Please, lend me the car at night, I'm dating my sister-in-law, where can I do without a car?" ”

"Okay, then I'll get off at the TV station." Lingxi has always been easy to talk to.

"I knew you were beautiful and beautiful." Yue Xuan was about to hug her immediately.

The vigilant Lingxi immediately took a few steps back: "Be honest, otherwise just stay here." ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Yue Xuan immediately sat in the passenger seat, gossiping while fastening his seat belt: "The game is about to go on the market, why is Mr. Xiao on the show?" ”

"Well, on February 3rd, he can't help it, stand-alone games are not good to sell in China, so he can only publicize them more." Lingxi learned everything very quickly, and he was already very proficient in driving, so he poured out of the parking space very neatly and got on the road steadily.

"I'm afraid that the more ruthless the publicity, the more piracy there will be." After Yue Xuan finished speaking, he smiled evilly: "You will be my crow's mouth." ”

"Maybe you're telling the truth, but I'm still going to support him." Cheng Lingxi said calmly: "Life time is limited, if you can do what you like, even if you fail, what's the matter?" ”

Yue Xuan sighed: "You two are really a dream husband and wife duo, I will serve one hundred and twenty." ”

Lingxi smiled: "Don't mess around all day." ”

"Little sister, what did you say?" Yue Xuan said poorly: "I work for you, and you still say that I am messing around." ”

"I think you're quite smart, the studio only has a lot of legal matters, and most of the time is idle." Lingxi shook her head.

Yue Xuan couldn't listen: "Everyone has their own way of living, what about me, just be happy, right?" Play games every day to help you engage in copyright, save more effort. ”

——

Unlike idle young men, Xiao Yunshen now has a lot of responsibility, he not only has to think about his own career, but also has to think about the future of his family, so he is particularly attentive to this product.

After participating in the talk show that day, I accepted an interview with the surrounding area by the way.

By the time I left, it was still completely dark.

"Where, are you in a hurry?" Teacher Xiao got into the car and immediately called Lingxi.

"It's in front of the TV station." The movement on Lingxi's side was noisy.

Xiao Yunshen was confused, and hurriedly drove out only to find that his beloved wife was standing on the snow and shivering.

"Where's the car? Why are you standing here?! Xiao Yunshen opened the door and said hurriedly.

"Lend it to Yue Xuan for a date." The tip of Lingxi's nose was frozen red, and he was still smiling.

"Then it's okay to go and sit in one of the coffee shops around for a while." Xiao Yunshen held her cold hand: "What should I do if I am sick?" ”

"I thought you were coming out soon." Lingxi leaned the corners of her mouth on his shoulder.

"Today for the New Year, would you like to have a big dinner?" Xiao Yunshen started the car: "I haven't had time to accompany you recently." ”

"I ordered vegetables and meat online, it should be delivered to my home, let's go back to eat hot pot." Lingxi wisely arranged: "There are people everywhere today, and there is nothing fun outside, and you have to go on a business tomorrow, so it's better to rest early." ”

Xiao Yunshen smiled helplessly: "But I have booked all the places, and it is difficult to make an appointment." ”

"It's okay, cancel it quickly." Lingxi said seriously: "It's not easy to make money, and it's not just about spending money to be happy." ”

——

The warm home is brightly lit, the steaming hot pot exudes an enticing aroma, and the greedy buns smell it, and they don't hesitate to abandon the dog food and circle around the table.

Xiao Yun washed his hands and sat down, and deliberately asked, "Are you envious?" I won't give it to you. ”

Baozi struggled to stand up on his short legs, trying to make a move.

Lingxi came out with the dish and said, "Don't bully it." ”

"Don't be busy, I miss you and relax for a while." Xiao Yunshen suddenly pulled her to his lap and kissed her face: "Happy New Year." ”

"You're happy too." Lingxi smiled shyly for a moment, and then said, "I know you just want to play quietly, you never had such contact with the media before, but now you are so tired and hard." ”

"This venture is my choice, of course I have to take responsibility, not to mention that I still have you." Xiao Yunshen said seriously: "In the past few months, you have not been less affected, and I don't want you to be like this in the future." ”

"Let's not talk to each other like that." Lingxi left his embrace, poured two glasses of champagne, and raised his glass: "No matter what, for the sake of the studio, work hard and work hard!" ”

Xiao Yunshen took it and drank it all, and then asked, "If you fail this time, will you be disappointed?" The failure I mean is losing money. ”

"Because I did it with my heart, of course I will be disappointed, but even if I fail, I will not be discouraged." Lingxi blinked: "I promised you when I got married, no matter what happens, I will be by your side." ”

"Everyone says it's stupid to be a standalone, but I not only want to make a standalone, but also want to make console games, equipment, ......and platforms," Xiao Yunshen sighed: "There is still a long way to go." ”

Lingxi looked at this man, and the feeling in his heart was difficult to describe in words.

Although from an ordinary background, Xiao Yunshen has accomplished many things that ordinary people can't achieve, and he is still working hard.

than the love when I first saw it, and the fantasy when I missed it...... After getting along, the understanding made her love for him even deeper.

"Let's go together, no matter how long the road is, we are not afraid of far." In the end, Lingxi said so, and picked up the corgi who was bouncing on the ground: "There are buns to cheer us up!" ”

——

In the days after the game was released, it was extremely cold in Beijing.

Relying on the recent publicity and the fame of the members of Zuò, this product quickly became popular, and for a while, fandoms, comics, cos, and novels about it sprung up on the Internet.

But behind the seemingly prosperous scene, there are chilling sales results.

The number of daily sales has dropped repeatedly, and it is less than one-tenth of the number of pirated downloads.

Lingxi, who is quite familiar with the cost of making zuò, quickly understood: Don't talk about making money, I'm afraid that most of the costs paid by Xiao Yunshen have also been wasted.

This is the reality of the domestic cultural market.

Working in the office with her colleagues, she felt everyone's lost feelings, but she didn't know what to say.

On the contrary, Xiao Yunshen was very calm, and this month he also gave his colleagues double salaries to show encouragement.

After getting off work, Lingxi sat in the dormitory and asked him: "Should we crack down on piracy first, in fact, our game security has been very high, but the road is one foot high." ”

"Since the day of listing, Yue Xuan has not stopped sending lawyer's letters, although there are no installation packages on various game websites, but the private transmission of network disks has been repeatedly banned." Xiao Yunshen smiled lightly: "Our cost is already super high, and the current situation has long been predicted." ”

Lingxi sat quietly next to him and held his hand.

"Don't think about it, let's have a good rest recently, I've been tired for a year." Xiao Yunshen said: "I also gave everyone a holiday. ”

"What about you?" Lingxi asked.

"We will continue to negotiate with overseas about selling games, which is the best revenue opportunity at the moment." Xiao Yunshen said: "In Japan, I have negotiated with the company, and I just gave you a bonus for the advance payment, no matter what, I can't treat them badly." ”

"Hmm." Lingxi nodded, and then smiled: "In my spare time, I will finish the strategy game with Xiaojie and take it to the Android platform to test." ”

"Okay, when I'm not there, you can arrange the work yourself." Xiao Yunshen understood that the little girl couldn't rest at all, so he smiled and agreed.

Lingxi didn't want to expose his pressure and pretend to be calm, so he reached out and hugged his beloved, leaned his head on his chest and said, "Teacher Xiao, come on." ”
