    Not far away, they walked back.When they reached the gate of the community, Sheng Min asked Li Xuan to wait, turned around and went into the nearby supermarket, and when he came out, he was holding two pillows in his hands.

    "Why did you buy the pillow?"

    Sheng Min thought for a moment, then whispered: "Don't you think it's a little strange for us to sleep on the same pillow?"

    Li Xuan didn't think there was anything strange about it, only that he had a lot of problems.He reached out to take one, and heard Sheng Min ask him: "How about I buy another bed?"

    "Can you fit two beds in one room?"

    Of course it can be put in the study.Sheng Min thought about it but didn't say anything.

    "My sleeping habits aren't that bad, are they?" Li Xuan looked at him with an unspeakable expression, "I'm not very used to sleeping with people, so don't make yourself sacrifice too much."

    "No." Sheng Min shook his head, sighed secretly, stretched out his hand and pressed the elevator button, and did not continue this topic.

    It was raining heavily, and even though they were holding umbrellas, their clothes and hair were all wet.I didn't feel it when was walking on the road, but realized it was cold when came back to the house.After taking a shower, Sheng Min changed clothes and sat on the sofa to order takeaway.

    "Do you have anything you want to eat or something you should avoid?" Before he could make up his mind, Li Xuan had already finished washing.He came out of the bathroom with half-dry hair.

    "It's okay, it's lighter. I don't eat celery."

    Sheng Min hummed, then pointed to Li Xuan's cell phone on the table: "I just had your call."

    The call was from Qi Boyuan, Li Xuan brushed his hair, casually dialed it back, and gave a hello.Qi Boyuan was stunned when he heard this voice: "Who are you?...Where's Li Xuan?"

    "Wait." Li Xuan recovered his senses and quickly threw the phone to Sheng Min, asking him to pick it up first.Sheng Min had no choice but to pick it up.

    "Who was it just now?" Qi Boyuan asked curiously, "Why is your cell phone in someone else's place?"

    Sheng Min subconsciously glanced at Li Xuan, who was taking out his laptop from his schoolbag.I pressed the power button, but there was no response at all. It was probably broken in a car accident the day before.Li Xuan frowned, and lip-synced to Sheng Min and asked him if he had a computer at home.

    Sheng Min pointed to the study room, while continuing to deal with Qi Boyuan: "A friend, I was busy just now, let him pick it up for me."

    "Ah?" Qi Boyuan seemed surprised.

    Sheng Min didn't know who was on the other end of the phone, nor did he know what relationship he had with Li Xuan.Too many words and too many mistakes, I can only say: "I have something to do, I will get back to you later."

    He hung up the phone without waiting for an answer from the other end, and when he walked into the study, he saw that Li Xuan had already downloaded the voice-changing software and was adjusting it.

    "Come here and say a few words." Sitting behind the desk, Li Xuan looked at the screen with a slight frown, without raising his head, "I'll try."

    Sheng Min nodded, and gave him another pair of earphones.It was also the first time for Li Xuan to use this. After tuning for half an hour, the sound was 80% similar, and then changed the format and put it back on the phone.Dial back, Qi Boyuan is on the phone.

    "Then let's eat first." Sheng Min said, "The delivery is here."

    At the end of the dinner, he ordered Subang dishes, Sheng Min changed the plates and put them out, before eating two bites, the bell rang again.

    "Hello." Li Xuan swiped the call button.

    "Li Xuan?" Qi Boyuan asked tentatively.

    "It's me. What are you doing so sneakily on the phone?"

    "If it's not, let me confirm." Qi Boyuan said, "Your voice sounds a little hoarse. I thought it was someone else. Are you not at school today? Go to your dormitory and your roommate said you didn't come back. YesNow, who was it just now? Why haven’t you heard of it?”

    "No. I have something to do outside." Li Xuan said flatly, "Have you finished your work? It's free."

    Qi Boyuan laughed: "I'm curious."

    Don't blame him for being strange, he and Li Xuan have known each other since they were freshmen for three years, and they have been working with Li Xuan on outsourcing projects for more than two years, so they are very familiar with each other.But apart from himself, Qi Boyuan had never seen anyone who was too close to him.

    Li Xuan seemed to be able to get along with anyone, but in fact he was very wary.Qi Boyuan sometimes joked that he had persecution paranoia, and felt that he could barely get acquainted with Li Xuan because of his big heart and thick face.It was a little surprised that Li Xuan suddenly had a friend who was familiar enough to help answer the phone.

    "You don't know." Li Xuan said smoothly, "I picked it up by the side of the road."

    Sheng Min on the other side subconsciously looked up at him when he heard the words, but Li Xuan didn't look at him, stood up and went to the balcony with his mobile phone.

    "Have you changed your career to pick up waste?" Qi Boyuan asked solemnly.

    "Stop talking nonsense, let's get down to business." Qi Boyuan on the other end wanted to say more, but Li Xuan interrupted him, "Have you made it clear with Xinyue?"

    Xinyue is the pharmaceutical company that asked them to build their website this time.

    "It's all done. The final payment is settled, and I'll transfer it to you later." Talking about work, Qi Boyuan became serious, "I called the company's registration procedures in the afternoon and asked again, and said that there is no need to supplement the materials.It should be done on Monday. But just now, another clothing manufacturer called and said that he wanted to find us to do a functional development. Last time you told me that Xinyue's project was over, so we would not accept outsourcing,...But the price is okay. Although the procedures of our game company are about to be completed, the account has not yet been opened. The office rented by the software park will not be able to move in until next month. The current equipment landlord said that togetherI rented it to us, and he said it would work, but I tried it and it didn’t work, and I have to add it myself later, and the progress is definitely not so fast, so if this project is accepted in time, you can be sure.”

    Li Xuan lightly pressed his temples, and didn't speak immediately, looking at the streetlights across the street, his thoughts were rarely a little confused.

    He told Qi Boyuan last month, or rather informed him, that Xinyue would not take up the project after it was finished, and then he was going to open a game studio by himself, and asked Qi Boyuan if he wanted to join.

    Qi Bo should have known for a long time that he had plans to start a business, and he had taken on a lot of outsourced work for the website in the past few years, but it was a small matter after all.I didn't expect him to register the company so early without waiting for graduation.So when Li Xuan asked him if he wanted to be together, he hesitated for a while, but he didn't delay for too long. He called him the next day and said that he had considered it, that he would not guarantee the research, and that he would be with him.

    So during this month, Li Xuan was busy finishing Xinyue's project, Qi Boyuan went to see the venue and rented it out, and went through the registration procedures.It was going pretty well.

    If it was a week ago, even if it was a little earlier yesterday, he wouldn't have hesitated about Qi Boyuan's question, but now, Li Xuan looked down at the little mole on his wrist... and hesitated for a moment before speaking: "II remember that you are the one with the highest GPA in your department, do you really want to study?"

    "Ah?" Qi Boyuan didn't expect him to change the subject suddenly, and joked, "Hey, you. I am the first in the computer department, and I am overwhelmed by the physics department in any programming competition.I have won two gold medals in three years of university, once I formed a team with you and once you did not participate in the competition. I also have no face to continue my studies. Why, my conscience found out that I want to raise my salary?"

    Li Xuan didn't smile, and his tone was more serious: "Have you thought it through?"

    "What's going on with you today?" Qi Boyuan was a little surprised, "We've known each other for so long, I believe in your ability, and I'm used to working together, I think it's more suitable for me to start a business with you than to continue reading. I think this questionWe have already talked about it last time, why do you repeatedly...do not doubt me? I am talking about starting a business with you, and I am planning to go abroad in private. Then who am I? IAdmit that my skills are not as good as yours, but you shouldn't question my character."

    "Of course not." Li Xuan pressed his brows together, and didn't know how to explain the current situation, so he thought for a while and said, "It's just that I have something to do recently, and I will be a little busy, maybe I can't take care of many things in the company, so I need you to come."

    "That's okay, I'll make it up to me..."

    "You don't understand what I mean." Li Xuan raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose, "I mean, I may not show up for a while in the future. Follow up the company's various matters such as account opening, recruitment, and even our official start of operations, I probably won’t be able to come to the company, of course you can call me if you need something. I can answer it anytime.”

    Qi Boyuan was really stunned for a while, before he said: "No, what's wrong with you? What happened to you? Personal freedom is restricted?"

    "No." Li Xuan cut him off.

    "Then why? If something really happens, just say it. It's better for more people to find a way."

    Li Xuanxin said that he must be able to speak. Now that he can't understand the situation, it's nothing. He doesn't show it on the surface: "I can't explain it clearly now, so don't ask. I just have to explain it clearly to you.If the company continues to push forward, you need to face things."

    Qi Boyuan asked hesitantly, "How long is a period of time?"

    Li Xuan said frankly: "I'm not sure, maybe a week, maybe a year, maybe longer. So I let you think about it."

    Qi Boyuan didn't speak for a long time, through the receiver, Li Xuan could feel Qi Boyuan scratching his hair, and asked him after a while: "Then what can you do during this time?"

    "There are no procedural problems for planning and writing codes. It's just that I said that I can't come to the company. You can communicate with other people. If you really want to have a meeting, you can go online." Li Xuan thought for a while, "The initial fundsI have, you know this, if you want to attract more investment in the later stage, the investor will have to talk to you."

    "I'll go." Qi Boyuan swears rarely, "What's the matter with you? Or is it..."

    Qi Boyuan actually didn't know much about the situation in Li Xuan's family. He only knew that Li Xuan was very talented in computers, but he chose to study physics. It seemed that he was forced by his family.

    "None, don't guess." Li Xuan said, "The situation is like this, you just say what you think."

    "You're impatient." Qi Boyuan scolded him, hesitating for a moment, "Then do you want to continue?"

    Li Xuan was silent for a moment.He doesn't like to disrupt the plan casually, and although he likes the feeling of being completely in control of things, past life experience tells him that in such a situation that is really out of control, it may be more practical for the car to find a way before the mountain.

    If there is no way, just cut one, and always have to go.Li Xuan gently flicked the rainwater off the railing, but he didn't have the habit of dragging others to take risks, so he had to make it clear to Qi Boyuan.

    "I think." Li Xuan said affirmatively, "but if you can't accept such a model, then I can only suspend this matter for now. It's really inconvenient for me now, and I don't feel relieved to hand it over to other people."

    Qi Boyuan didn't answer for a moment, paused for a long time, Li Xuan didn't urge him, and after a long time, he heard Qi Boyuan sigh: "That's fine, that's it."

    "What kind?"

    "Just continue to push it like this. As long as you can do planning projects and write codes in the follow-up, you'll be fine. Anyway, it's almost the same now. After you take over the project, it's important. If there is a lack of people, I will pull them in temporarily. Follow-up communication is also my job. After allIt’s enough for a genius like you to use your brain.”

    "I paid back the money." Li Xuan said.

    "Your uncle." After Qi Boyuan scolded him, he laughed.

    "Thank you." Li Xuan also smiled, and quickly made up his mind after explaining clearly, "The new project will not be accepted. Concentrate on promoting the game. You don't need to transfer the final payment to me. What do you need?All the places are drawn from the inside first. Come to me when you run out, and you don’t have to worry about money now.”

    "What project... Oh, your thinking is too fast." Qi Boyuan realized, "Okay, then I will return."

    "After the formalities are completed, you just look at preparing to recruit people. There is no rush for other things, the artist has to find one quickly. I have a demo of the game here, and I will send it to you later. Take the time to try it. What's the matter?"Ideas, continue to change, and when it is finalized, art will be recruited later, so we can follow up quickly."

    "Have you even finished the demo?" Qi Boyuan was stunned for a moment, then after thinking about it, according to Li Xuan's style, it seems reasonable to plan well.

    "It doesn't necessarily have to be used." Li Xuan said lightly, "It's just that I happen to have a ready-made one on hand. If possible, it will save some trouble."

    "What do you do in your sophomore year?" When he said this, Qi Boyuan suddenly got a little impression.

    In his sophomore year, Li Xuan made a business mobile game and won an award in a game planning competition held by a well-known game company.

    It was from that game that Qi Boyuan really felt the gap between him and Li Xuan.

    It is not too difficult to make a game demo, but it is definitely a huge workload to complete a 3D game demo independently.It took less than a month since he knew that Li Xuan started to do the before and after of the competition, and the degree of completion was very high, far exceeding the needs of the demonstration.The most terrible thing is that Li Xuan even took on an outsourced job and was doing it at the same time.Qi Boyuan had no idea where he got the time.

    The game company wanted to buy it, and the price was quite high, but Li Xuan didn't sell it.In the following years, Qi Boyuan occasionally saw that Li Xuan was still improving.

    "That's it." Li Xuan hummed, "I'm still writing other plans, and I'm not as mature as this one, so you should read it first."

    "That's fine, I'll see and reply to you. As for recruiting, I'll do it as soon as possible." Qi Boyuan agreed happily, but suddenly remembered another thing, "I'm actually not very clear about your current situation."The situation, it’s just that you said you’re not likely to show up, so you have to take classes, right? Is your professional class over?”

    "No." Li Xuan frowned and called out the class schedule to confirm. Most of his classes this semester have already ended, and now there is still one class left, Statistical Mechanics, which will be taught this Friday.

    "Then you won't go in? You won't take the exam? Even if you start a business, your grades don't matter anymore. You have to get a diploma, right?"

    "I'll handle it." Li Xuan responded.

    "Okay." Qi Boyuan sighed, "If you really don't tell me, I won't ask. Anyway, you have always had a score."

    "Thank you." Li Xuan repeated again, Qi Boyuan was good at this, and he didn't get to the bottom of it.

    "Don't thank me, let's do this first. Jiajia is going to have evening class, I'll pick her up for supper, and by the way, ask her if she knows anyone in the school's visual communication."

    Zhou Jia is his girlfriend, who studies cello at the Art Academy not far away.

    "Success. I hang up."

    "You'd better go to class." Qi Boyuan said.

    Li Xuan hummed casually and pressed the hang up button.
