Jiangdu, it was late at night, and Chen Youzhou, who had been dismissed by the game studio, was standing in front of the door of the shared house.

The door suddenly opened, and the roommate Tao Fushu carried the light on his back and stepped on a slipper, startled, "Ah, senior, why are you back?" ”

"Hmm." Chen Youzhou struggled to squeeze out a word, and he had no desire to speak because of his negative emotions, so he bypassed Tao Fushu and walked into the bedroom.

"Huh?" Tao Fushu looked back suspiciously, feeling that Chen Youzhou was a little strange.

The mobile phone rang suddenly, interrupting Tao Fushu's thoughts, and she raised her fist, "Forget it, I'm hungry." ”

Tao Fushu and Chen Youzhou are both students at Jiangdu University, and when they graduated, they met when they were looking for someone to share a house on the school forum.

lived together for three years, and due to the influence of their profession, the days when the two met were counted.

Chen Youzhou works as a game planner in IU Studio, going out before dawn, working overtime until midnight, and focusing on game production.

Tao Fushu is a Chinese teacher, waiting for the school bus to pick up at 8 o'clock every day, cooking on time at 6 o'clock in the evening, waiting for the "Reader" to be updated, and listening to American literature while cooking.

One rolls in the middle of the night, and the other lives in the day.

Like today, it is really rare for Chen Youzhou to meet Tao Fushu who has not slept at midnight.

Chen Youzhou was locked in the room and did not turn on the light.

He likes the night, when everything is silent, he has the inspiration to create the world in his head, and "My Lying Flat Life" is a game that Chen Youzhou made after staying up countless nights.

Relying on "My Lying Flat Life", Chen Youzhou brought the decadent IU game studio back to life and let IU get investment, and now, it is a behemoth.

But Chen Youzhou was too devoted, and he substituted himself too deeply into the game, and he didn't have a decent game.

It's just that he didn't expect to be optimized by IU Studio, and his game dream was shattered all of a sudden.

woke up from the dream, and Chen Youzhou didn't want to stay in this frustrated city.

Chen Youzhou wrote such lines at the end of the game "My Lying Flat Life", "Laugh, the world laughs together, cry, you cry alone, the end of a person is the end of loneliness, the game can be repeated, life can not be repeated." ”

But now, Chen Youzhou wants to leave here, return to his hometown to stay with his parents, and lie down completely.

"Knock knock!"

In the dark night, the hurried sound of the door disrupted Chen Youzhou's thoughts.

Tao Fushu shouted outside the door, "Senior, I ordered a barbecue, let's eat some together?" ”

Chen Youzhou opened his eyes and looked at the dark room, he didn't squeak.

The more lonely I am, the more lonely I am, the more I want to be quiet.

"Senior, have you slept?" The woman outside the door was puzzled.

Chen Youzhou still didn't squeak.

"Ahh A sharp scream was heard.

Suddenly, the footsteps in the aisle outside the door were hurrying, as if Tao Fushu was avoiding someone to chase.

"Tailgated?" Chen Youzhou couldn't help but think.

"You! You are not allowed to come, you don't want me to satisfy your desires, you don't even think about it, it's impossible, you bad ......"

Before Tao Fushu finished speaking, Chen Youzhou rushed out with a table lamp, and his sense of justice was bursting.

But the scene in front of him was not what Chen Youzhou thought at all.

Tao Fushu waited solemnly, pointed to the kitten raised on the ground, and was furious, "You, you, you bad cat, you are already fat like this, and you dare to covet the meat skewers in my hands, you are delusional!" ”

The kitten is called Fa Cake, and when Tao Fushu went home last year, Chen Youzhou raised it for a while.

Fa Cake didn't pay attention to Tao Fushu, and walked to Chen Youzhou's side affectionately, rubbing his trouser legs.

Chen Youzhou picked him up, pinched the cat's belly, and said in a deep voice, "It's fat again." ”

"Senior, I ordered a lot of barbecue, help me eat some, otherwise it will be cheap and fat."

"Okay." Chen Youzhou didn't refuse, and looked up at Tao Fushu, "Is there any wine in the refrigerator?" ”

In addition to making games, Chen Youzhou basically does not go out of the door, has no life, where does he know what firewood, rice, oil and salt.

The shared refrigerator and kitchen are rarely used by Chen Youzhou.

"I'll look for it." Tao Fushu nodded, opened the refrigerator door, and flipped through it, "There is wine, then you wait, I'll fry peanuts and rice for wine." ”

"Just have skewers, no need to ...... hemp"

Chen Youzhou is a person who doesn't understand the world very well, he doesn't know worldly things very well, and he doesn't know all the politeness and mutual praise he needs in communication.

But when Tao Fu wrapped up the rubber band in his hair, tied an apron and ran into the kitchen.

Looking at the back of the schoolgirl, he was lost.

Doing work and fighting ideals, he actually ignored Tao Fushu in school is a talented woman in the Academy of Literature chased by countless people, and the ideal object that countless people want to approach.

After a while, the ruddy peanuts were fried.

Tao Fushu is a woman who can live, she put vinegar in peanuts and sprinkled shallots, which is the practice of vinegaring peanuts.

It's really amazing, Chen Youzhou likes to eat peanuts the most.

Perhaps it was only after being lonely that he could see many things that he couldn't see before, and Chen Youzhou was a little closer to Tao Fushu.

"Ahem......" Tao Fushu's face was hot when he was stared at by Chen Youzhou, and he was about to pull the beer to relieve his tension, but he found that he couldn't pull it away, so he had to hand it to Chen Youzhou, "Help me open it...... Turn it on. ”

The moment Tao Fushu raised his eyes, Chen Youzhou looked carefully, and the roots of her ears were red.

"You, beer?" Chen Youzhou asked.

"Drink, tomorrow I will have an open class, and if I pass the assessment of the open class, my goal will be achieved." Tao Fushu's eyes flowed, and his curled eyelashes trembled slightly, which was a longing for the future, "Just celebrate in advance." ”

The future is promising, like a light shining on a person's face.

Chen Youzhou was also so happy when he graduated, and he understood Tao Fushu's mood at this time.

Chen Youzhou pulled the beer can open, handed it to Tao Fushu, opened another can, and lifted the beer can, "I'm not particularly good at talking, it's all there!" In the wine! ”

Tao Fu weakly bumped back into the beer, grunting and pouring wine into his mouth, but his beautiful eyes smirked at him.

She said, "What about you? ”

"Me?" Chen Youzhou remembered that the two of them chatted a few words three months ago, and she understood her current state, "Completely stuck in the previous game story, the game has never done well, and I wanted to adjust my state and empty myself, but today I received the news that I was resigned." ”

Tao Fushu was a little stunned, she remembered that Chen Youzhou's games helped IU Studio bring new life.

Chen Youzhou also regards IU Studio as the whole of his life, and it is really unfair to be dismissed for such an investment.

"Great, so you can go to another better company to make games." Tao Fushu's amber eyes lit up, "Maybe, it's a new beginning." ”

"I signed an agreement that after I was dismissed, I would not be allowed to engage in related industries for two years." Chen Youzhou was very depressed, and took a sip of wine, "I'm tired!" ”

"And what are you going to do?"

"I'm home." Chen Youzhou thought he was very breezy and said lightly, but the more he didn't care, the more he cared, like a gray and failed person.

"Home?" Tao Fushu glared at Chen Youzhou, reached out and snatched the wine bottle from his hand, and protected all the skewers on the table to his side.

Women, when they are unhappy, become stingy.

"What are you doing here?" Chen Youzhou was angry and laughed.

"When something happens, I go home to gnaw at the old, and even the dreams that I have studied hard for many years and thought about for many years can be abandoned, escaping from life, escaping reality, and escaping responsibility by lying down." Tao Fushu's tone was coherent, deliberately angering Chen Youzhou's fighting spirit, "Heh, waste." ”

I was unemployed and ridiculed, and I had no love in life.

Chen Youzhou was enraged and said coldly, "This is my business, and it has nothing to do with you." ”

"Unrelated? Am I just a stranger? Tao Fushu was very uncomfortable when he heard this, and smiled, "I'm your three-year roommate and college alumnus, does your life or death really have nothing to do with me?" ”

Tao Fushu stared at Chen Youzhou, "You can't do the game well." ”

Chen Youzhou has heard this sentence countless times, and he really can't do the game well.

Facing Chen Youzhou's puzzled gaze, she said seriously, "You are too indifferent and have lost your life." ”

Chen Youzhou has been looking for questions, but he has never found an answer, but now, he has been woken up.

Addicted to game creation, resting on his laurels, and losing his sense of life, he lost his aura.

"Perhaps, then take advantage of this time to go back to your hometown to find the joy of life." Chen Youzhou breathed a sigh of relief.

"You...... I can't go back to my hometown. She laughed.

"What do you mean?"

"I think you can change the environment and find the joy of life, pick furniture, buy refrigerators, decorate the balcony, you can try to find the fun of cooking, you can also find the fun of haggling in the vegetable market, a great game designer can be a designer in life."

Chen Youzhou suddenly gave birth to an unprecedented sense of unknown, which made people look forward to it.

"You! What exactly is to be said? ”

"Our school is married and can be separated, but I'm unmarried, why don't you stay and help me cheat the house?"
