Only After I Was Reborn Did I Realize That I Had Childhood Sweethearts Chapter 135: Studio Naming

In early 2011, Weixin[1] had just erged, and mobile paynts were still in their early stages. Setting up online mobile paynt wasnt an easy task; one had to go to the bank.

i Fang had taken care of this matter during the sumr vacation, so he could use Taobao[2] to order his laptop online.

However, logistics in this era werent particularly fast. It took a whole week for the three Alienware M11X laptops i Fang had purchased for 40,000 yuan to be delivered from Shanghai to Jiangcheng. They arrived on the first weekend of the first week of sumr camp.

The task of informing Liang ijuan about the school-provided laptops was assigned to Lin Youxi.

In the eyes of her stepmother, Lin Youxi had always been an exemplary and hardworking child, so she had always trusted her words. This made Lin Youxi feel a bit guilty.

To reassure Liang ijuan, everyones laptops were usually kept in the living room. This also involved setting up a network broadband connection, and i Fang managed to convince Liang ijuan to apply for the 10 Mbps internet broadband, which was extrely rare at this ti.

In this era, the bandwidth for ho computers was mostly around 2 Mbps, which ant a download speed of 200 Kbps. From i Fangs perspective who ca from the year 2022, this was incredibly slow. But the 10 Mbps broadband could guarantee a download speed of around 1 Mbps.

Of course, the price for this was about four tis that of a 2 Mbps connection. The annual internet fee was 3,200 yuan, which could be considered a substantial amount, almost equivalent to Liang ijuans monthly salary.

Although i Fang and Xia Yuan said they could pay for it themselves, Liang ijuan was worried that the children wouldnt have enough living expenses, so she reluctantly paid the money.

Liang ijuan didnt interfere too much with what the children were doing. She trusted i Fang and the others quite a bit, much more than the trust i Fang and the others received from the other five parents of the three families.

However, keeping their actual actions hidden from Liang ijuan all this ti made the trio feel guilty.

So on weekends, they would help Liang ijuan with household chores. Xia Yuan would clean the house, and Lin Youxi would accompany Liang ijuan to buy groceries.

Only i Fang, the little computer geek, was busy setting up the laptops and configuring the internet connection. He would lend a hand only when Xia Yuan needed help with cleaning.

We dont need these cardboard boxes anymore, right?

Xia Yuan put down the broom and held the unpacked laptop packaging, asking i Fang, Should I throw them away?

We dont need the boxes, just keep three warranty certificates.

Is it these?

Mhm, mhm just put them on the coffee table, Ill take care of them later.

i Fang glanced at Xia Yuan and continued to busy himself with setting up the laptops. As he was working, Xia Yuan suddenly pinched his shoulder from behind and leaned in close to him. Is it done?

Mhm almost.

So from today onwards, are you going to code together with Youxi again?

Besides coding, I need to check the planning docunt written by Zhang Ming and the text written by Yue Xinyi.

Xia Yuan asked in surprise, Is he really helping you now?

Yeah but its probably only during the sumr break when he has more free ti. Once school officially starts, he probably wont have ti. After all, I gave him such a good car, so I have to make good use of him.

While i Fang was talking, Xia Yuan had been leaning on his shoulder, looking at the screen. However, she only behaved so freely when Lin Youxi and Liang ijuan were not around.

Of course, i Fang was unaware of the agreent Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi had about not taking their relationship with him further. He was still focused on balancing his affection towards the two. As long as Yuan Yuan didnt cross any boundaries, he wouldnt resist.

Is there anything I can help with? Everyone is currently helping you with work. Ive handed over all the gas copywriting to Yue Xinyi, and she seems happy to do it.

Well you could learn music arrangent software, not just for creating ga music and sound effects, but it will also be helpful for your future in music! How about trying out FL Studio? Its a powerful music production software.

Okay, Ill search and download it, then Ill study so tutorials.

Xia Yuan wiped her hands to dry them and took a seat nearby.

i Fang saw her mop placed aside, indicating that only the last bit of mopping was left, so he took the initiative to finish the task.

Shall I finish mopping the floor for you?

Yes, please. Thank you, Ah Fang!

When i Fang was almost done mopping the floor, Liang ijuan and Lin Youxi happened to return and knock on the door. Xia Yuan imdiately got up from her chair as if she had been shocked.

Wearing her slippers, she quickly urged i Fang to open the door, while she took the mop pretending to finish the last touch-ups.

Were back.

Mhm Yuan Yuan is mopping the floor, working so hard.

Xia Yuan smiled guiltily at Liang ijuan, Its nothing, its what I should do Oh, oh, dont walk too fast, the floor isnt dry yet.

Alright.

Lin Youxi carried the groceries and went to the kitchen with Liang ijuan. Liang ijuan nudged Lin Youxi and said, You can go watch TV or play computer with Ah Fang for a while. Ill handle the cooking.

Its alright, Auntie. Let help you

Liang ijuan beca unhappy: My job is to take care of you three. Why do you always have to help with everything?

She continued, Youre all good kids, thats for sure. But usually, you eat at the school cafeteria, so practically, I only have work on weekends. You cant take over all my tasks. I also need to make my life not boring, you know?

Liang ijuan intentionally spoke loudly so that Xia Yuan could also hear, indicating that the children didnt need to be too sensible or obedient.

After finishing the al, the three of you should go out and have so fun. Dont stay at ho all the ti, its so boring.

Okay

So Liang ijuan kicked the three kids out of the house in the afternoon.

Where should we go? Where should we go? Xia Yuan beca excited as soon as she stepped out. By the way, we havent watched a movie together in Jiangcheng. Should we go to the movie theater in the city center?

i Fang shook his head. Its quite far from here to the city center. It would take a two-hour drive back and forth.

Ah Xia Yuan wore a disappointed expression. Thats too far, we wont make it back in ti for evening self-study.

Its so hot outside right now. How about finding a milk tea shop to hang out for the afternoon? Lin Youxi suggested. And then we can find sothing to do.

Well what can we do outside? Xia Yuan thought for a mont. Ah Fang, do you have any good ideas?

Oh, I actually have sothing to ask for everyones opinion, i Fang explained. Its about naming our ga studio.

When i Fang released Flappy Bird on the international internet, ClaringMay (Cleveri) was the one he used as its ga developnt team na. Next, he planned to take advantage of the release of the iPhone 4 and start accumulating a reputation and fa in the local ga industry.

Life Restart Simulator and Reigns were the gas he intended to release on the App Store during the National Day in October. Because they were text-based gas, the programming and art resources were already done, and they were just waiting to finalize the ga balance and test for bugs. Therefore, they needed a na for their studio.

The na of this studio would hold special significance for i Fang. The ntioned gas were rely remakes of other peoples successes, but creating a studio would be the first step for i Fang to expand his own ga territory and establish his presence in the industry.

The three of them found a milk tea shop across from the Jiangcheng NOHS. Since it was a weekend of sumr vacation, there were so students from their school who were living on the campus gathering here. i Fang and his friends didnt mind and found a less noticeable corner to sit in. Xia Yuan brought stickers and pens and distributed them to i Fang and Lin Youxi.

Ah Fang, before we think of a na, I have a question to ask, Xia Yuan said, rubbing her hands together. Um my contribution to the ga is minimal right now, even less than Yue Xinyi and Guo Yun. Is it really appropriate for to participate in choosing the na?

Whats inappropriate about that? We are a startup team of three, and its not determined by the amount of work each person does. Besides, Yuan Yuan, your role will beco more and more important later on. Be prepared, because I will be strict with you.

Okay thats good. Xia Yuan smiled and stuck out her tongue. Actually, Im just being considerate

Lin Youxi suggested, Since its a studio founded by the three of us together, a common naming thod is to take one character from each persons na to form the na of the studio, right?

Then it would be called i You Yuan Studio, which sounds quite attractive. i Fang often liked to use this combination to tease her, and this ti he was knocked hard on the head by Xia Yuan.

Youre not allowed to use such an inauspicious na! Your surna is too difficult to work with! Dont use i in the na!

Fang Xi Yuan, Xi Yuan Fang, You Fang Yuan, Yuan You Fang

Lin Youxi wrote down all the possible combinations, and Xia Yuan watched her from the side, unable to help but sigh.

This wont work either We cant co up with fitting words by combining the nas of the three of us!

Then lets think of other combinations.

i Fang suggested, Lets take the initials of our nas in pinyin and recombine them to form the na of the studio. For example, M for i Fang, L or Y for Lin Youxi, and X for Xia Yuan, combined together.

As i Fang spoke, he straightened his waist, looking quite pleased with himself. This way, we can be called MiXi Gas or MiLe Gas. When we beco famous in the future, well be known as the three giants of MiXi Gas.

That thod is indeed a good one, but that title, the three giants of MiXi Gas'

Xia Yuan expressed her disdain, It sounds too strange! Whether its MiXi or MiLe, it doesnt sound good, its quite forced.

I also think so. Lin Youxi nodded.

To think you would dislike it, I thought it was not bad

They found themselves in a predicant.

They didnt expect naming a ga studio to be such a troubleso task.

Lets have so milk tea first and then think about it!

While sipping their milk tea, the three of them brainstord for new ideas, and Xia Yuan was gradually conquered by the sweet pleasure brought by the milk tea.

Oh! This milk tea tastes so good! Besides the pearls, it also has many toppings like pudding, coconut jelly, and sago!

Sago sago

i Fang slapped his forehead, I have a good idea! Xia Yuans X, my nas M, and Lin Youxis L. With just the initials of our surnas, couldnt we form the na Ximilu Studio[3]?

Hey hey! That sounds good, I like it!

Xia Yuan raised her hand to express agreent, I like this na, Ximilu Studio. It sounds sweet at first listen!

Lin Youxi added from the side, I rember the English word for ximi is sago. It sounds a lot like saikou[4] in Japanese. Using it as the English na and na for the studio is also a suitable choice. Its simple, easy to read, and rolls off the tongue.

Mhm, mhm! Lets settle on this! Ximilu Studio, mmm, it really sounds sweet!

Sipping her milk tea with added sago, Xia Yuan had a very happy smile on her face.

Translator's Notes:

Its a version of WeChat designed for Chinese users. Chinas online shopping platform. Ximilu, or Sai Mai Lou, ans Sago Soup. But Sago Soup Studio sounds weird to , and since their initials (XML) are not present, I will just use the pinyin na. sen.wikipedia/wiki/Sago_soup Saikou ans the best.
