Tang Lingfei was stunned. Once upon a time, Xu Zhe's home was clearly open only to her. How could a girl from another family come in? Even if it was Song Xingye, it would be impossible for her to appear in Xu Zhe's home so naturally!

Song Xingye was even more shocked psychologically. His little trick was to find a way to get Xu Zhe to come to his house, and he had to think of all kinds of ways, and the frequency was also limited. But why did Shen Lan appear here? Moreover, why did she look so skilled!

There was no response to her greeting, so Shen Lan just smiled indifferently and walked past the two of them.

She took two empty cups and poured boiled and then cooled water into them. Then, Shen Lan held the two cups in both hands, walked slowly past the two girls, and returned to the study.

As for Xu Zhe, he had already returned to his study to continue working.

Tang Lingfei and Song Xingye tiptoed and hurriedly approached the study door to observe - they saw that Xu Zhe was facing a desktop computer, while Shen Lan was facing a laptop. Both screens contained completely incomprehensible pages, without even a single Chinese character.

The two girls gasped in unison.

After staring and observing for a while, Xu Zhe and Shen Lan seemed not to notice the gazes of the two little ones.

Suddenly, Song Xingye pulled Tang Lingfei from the study door to the sofa in the living room. They sat next to each other on the sofa and talked quietly.

Song Xingye: "They are really working, and that senior sister Shen Lan is really helping him with his work..."

Tang Lingfei: "Does she also know programming?"

Song Xingye: "It seems that he understands."

Tang Lingfei: "How many days have they been like this?"

Song Xingye: "How many days has the summer vacation started?"

Tang Lingfei started counting on her fingers.

Song Xingye: "Don't worry about it, there's no point in thinking about it. That's why I told you not to call, but to come to his house to check on him. Didn't you often come here to wake him up before?"

Tang Lingfei felt a little aggrieved: "But he told me that he would get up on time every day this summer and spend the whole day playing games... How could I know that there would be one more person?"

Song Xingye was about to speak but stopped.

She wanted to say that if it were her, she should take the initiative to stay by Xu Zhe's side at times like this, even if it was just to pour him a glass of water - but on second thought, she seemed to not need to inspire Feifei in this way.

Suddenly, Xu Zhe came out of the study and asked, "Why don't you two turn on the TV?"

The two girls were chatting quietly on the sofa, and of course they forgot the reason of "coming to your house to watch TV". At this time, they could only stare at him blankly, not knowing what to say for a while.

Xu Zhe turned on the TV for them and turned down the volume, then turned back to the study.

Tang Lingfei and Song Xingye looked at each other and fell silent.

After their whispered conversation was interrupted, they didn't know what to say next for a moment.

Tang Lingfei found the remote control and changed channels one after another, but her eyes were a little dazed. She didn't have any TV programs she particularly wanted to watch at the moment, so she just used the most familiar action to divert her attention and try to relieve her anxiety.

Suddenly, Song Xingye whispered in her ear: "Only you can accomplish this task."

Tang Lingfei was stunned: "What task?"

Song Xingye said solemnly: "Come to Xu Zhe's house every day to prevent Senior Sister Shen Lan from doing anything to him... You are childhood sweethearts, and your two families are so close, so only you can do it."

Tang Lingfei said in a daze: "Yes, we must supervise them, otherwise, who knows what Senior Sister Shen Lan wants to do..."

Song Xingye: "Only you can do this."

Tang Lingfei took a deep breath, and her eyes regained their spirit: "Yes, only I can do it!"

Song Xingye smiled and patted the back of her best friend's hand.

Of course she would not do this. After all, she had used the opportunity of skiing during the winter vacation to set up the shield of Feifei and attracted the attention of Senior Sister Shen Lan. Now, of course, Feifei would continue to play a role.

After all, teammates are the best shields.

But suddenly, Tang Lingfei whispered, "I have to work hard too."

Song Xingye: "What?"

Tang Lingfei: "I said, I also want to work hard to learn something other than textbooks."

Song Xingye: "You want to learn programming too? Well, my advice is don't touch that, really."

Tang Lingfei blinked at her and said, "Who said I wanted to learn programming? I promised Xu Zhe that I would make music for his game. Now my grades in every subject are consistently in the top ten in the class. How can a simple music theory stump me?"

"come on……"

Although she said "come on", Song Xingye could already imagine the scene where Feifei hugged her arms and cried, "Music theory is really difficult."

In the following days, Shen Lan discovered that Tang Lingfei was indeed not simple.

Song Xingye rarely showed up, but Tang Lingfei would knock on Xu Zhe's door almost every day. In the name of childhood sweethearts, this little girl seemed to be able to go anywhere. Even the bedroom that Shen Lan was embarrassed to step into seemed to be no big deal to Tang Lingfei, she could go there whenever she wanted.

How could Shen Lan not be alert?

What's even more tricky is that Xu Zhe's parents will be back at dinner time. Uncle Xu is fine, but the aunt's attitude is really unpredictable. Although there is no clear sign or evidence, Shen Lan just feels that this aunt doesn't seem to like her.

In comparison, Tang Lingfei is obviously more popular with Aunt Zeng...

But none of this matters.

Shen Lan knew very well that this summer vacation was for work. Helping Xu Zhe complete the game he wanted to make was the first priority. After that, she would have better opportunities.

When the new semester begins, Xu Zhe and she will both participate in the informatics competition. Although the competition is still two or three months away, Shen Lan has already started planning.

As the summer vacation was coming to an end, Xu Zhe's skiing game was finally basically completed.

Even the outsourced art process has become more reliable. As for the reliable outsourced employees, Xu Zhe was not stingy and paid them the agreed labor remuneration of several thousand yuan.

"Neither you nor I have any salary, so the production cost of this game should be just a few thousand dollars, right?"

On the evening of the last working day, Shen Lan asked this while sitting on the sofa.

Xu Zhe paced beside the coffee table and said, "Yes, even if we add up the company's total expenses in the past few months, it is less than 10,000 yuan. What we need to see next is whether this game can generate a stable cash flow."

Shen Lan: "What about the income from cutting fruit?"

Xu Zhe: "After Pingguo 4 came out, it was boosted and returned to over . It's hard to say what will happen in the future, but the gap between it and Vegetable Ninja is getting bigger and bigger, and the sales volume is already an order of magnitude difference. So I don't count on it."

Shen Lan smiled and said, "One hundred thousand per month is terrifying."

Xu Zhe shrugged: "Not bad, but I expect more from the new game."

Shen Lan asked again: "By the way, it seems that you haven't named the new game yet. What is it called? It can't be called skiing, right?"

Xu Zhe: "Skiing adventure."

Shen Lan tilted her head: "You seem to be very straightforward in naming."

Xu Zhe: "Because what I make is a straightforward little game. By the way, there is something you have to accept."

Hearing this, Shen Lan's eyes suddenly lit up: "You also prepared a gift for me?"

"You've been helping me for almost two months, so I can't just say thank you for nothing."

After saying that, Xu Zhe returned to his bedroom, took out a red envelope he had prepared yesterday, went back to Shen Lan, and handed it to her.

Shen Lan didn't open it, she just touched it and knew what was inside. But her reaction was a little different from what Xu Zhe expected. She didn't feel surprised, but rather helpless.

Xu Zhe: "Why, you're not satisfied? Open it and take a look."

Shen Lan opened the red envelope and took a look, but did not take out the money inside. She hesitated for a moment, but still said softly: "Thank you, boss."

There is one thousand yuan in the red envelope.

Xu Zhe asked tentatively: "You don't seem to be happy about it?"

Because compared to other gifts, money alone cannot serve as a souvenir. Besides, Shen Lan is not short of money now, and the living expenses given by her father every month are more than enough. Compared to a thousand yuan, she wants something much cheaper but can be carried around with her on a daily basis.

However, the girl still put on a sensible smile: "No, thanks to the boss for the reward. I am very satisfied with the probation period. Then I will go home. See you next time... in October?"

Xu Zhe nodded: "See you in October."

Two weeks after school started, his "Ski Adventure" was finally successfully launched, but this time, it was not immediately recommended by the Pingguo App Store.

Since the birth of the Pingguo 4 mobile phone, starting from the United States, a craze for smart phones has been set off around the world. As a result, more people have developed apps for the Pingguo platform, and more games have been developed. The competition is becoming more and more fierce, and it is becoming more and more difficult to get the recommended position.

After the school started, this trend also spread to China, because the product was finally officially launched in China.

Then another month passed, after the first monthly exam of the third year of junior high school.

The head teacher, Ms. Sun, walked up to the podium holding three iPhone 4s. She placed the three phones on the desk and said coldly, "You guys are really good at keeping up with the times. You don't even know how to compete with others in your studies, but you all use new phones."

The students were silent.

The three Pingguo phones were confiscated by the English, Math, and Physics teachers in the past two weeks. Most of the students in the class who used Pingguo 4 couldn't help but want to play with them during class, and then they were discovered by the teachers while playing, and finally fell into the hands of the head teacher.

"You three, go call your parents to come to school and take your phones back. Really, learn from Song Xingye and Xu Zhe and see how they study!"

A naughty male classmate below quietly complained: "Xu Zhe didn't learn..."

Teacher Sun heard this and immediately raised his eyebrows: "How come he got the first place in the grade without studying? Think about it, Xu Zhe had already finished the third grade courses when he was in the first grade. How much study and effort did he have to put in to get the carefree life he has now?"

This made the person involved feel a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, the head teacher did not continue to talk about the point of "hard work", but instead instructed him: "You come and hand out the report cards to everyone."

Xu Zhe, the class monitor, stood up and walked to the podium.

When Teacher Sun handed him the stack of report cards, he glanced at it and asked casually, "What's in your trouser pocket? It's so heavy."

"Oh, this."

Xu Zhe pulled out a Pingguo 4 mobile phone from his sweatpants pocket.

Teacher Sun: “…”

The whole class couldn't help laughing.

Teacher Sun was a little annoyed: "The school has a rule that mobile phones are not allowed."

Xu Zhe put away his phone and explained, "I have no choice. I am participating in the informatics competition and need to find some study materials. Our school does not have a supervisor, nor any information on this subject, so I can only use my phone to search online."

Teacher Sun took a deep breath and said, "Good boy, you can turn everything into a competition, right?!"

Xu Zhe's expression was quite sincere: "Because it is indeed like that."

Teacher Sun glared at him for a while, then waved his hand helplessly: "Okay, okay, just hand out the transcripts."

There was another burst of laughter in the class.

Teacher Sun said again: "Why are you laughing? Others use their phones to study, but you guys just play. Can they be the same? Ah, let me ask you, can they be the same?"

So next, when Xu Zhe handed out the report cards one by one, he found that his classmates were looking at him as if they were looking at a legendary figure.

He dared to take out his mobile phone in front of the head teacher, and it would not be confiscated. Instead, he asked the teacher to defend him. Such behavior has undoubtedly entered the legendary level in the eyes of these boys and girls.

The day of the competition has finally arrived.

On a brisk Saturday morning in October, Xu Zhe packed his schoolbag, took a taxi with his parents to the bus station, and then boarded the bus to the provincial capital alone.

The schoolbag contains a laptop, chargers for mobile phones and computers, printed self-made knowledge manuals... and a change of underwear and socks.

Because the exam was in the afternoon, if he wanted to go home after the exam, he would have to take a night bus, and it was a long-distance bus. It was a bit exciting just to think about it. Xu Zhe had long been able to overcome his psychological trauma and take a long-distance bus alone, but a night bus was still a bit beyond his acceptance.

As soon as he got in the car, Xu Zhe fastened his seat belt and took out his cell phone out of habit.
