Lin Xin did not go to work today.

He lay on the sofa playing mobile games, like a salted fish.

Every year on this day, he looks as if he has lost all hope in life. Xue Fei was a little worried at first, but now he is used to it.

If Lin Xin didn't say it, he couldn't force Lin Xin to say it. Anyway, after today, Lin Xin still looked full of energy, so he should be fine.

Xue Fei brought a plate of fruit and placed it next to Lin Xin. Seeing that Lin Xin had no intention of putting down his phone, he put some fruit on a toothpick and put it into Lin Xin's mouth.

Although Lin Xin was like a salted fish, he still remembered to move his mouth.

"Your sister-in-law just sent you a text message asking if you want to go to her house for dinner." Xue Fei said, "She will bake a cake for you."

Lin Qin, the overtime-obsessed CEO who was addicted to work, finally got married at the age of 35. His wife studied Chinese painting and her dream was to be a housewife, which was a good match for Lin Qin, a workaholic who never stayed home.

But later, more people envied Lin Qin and said that Lin Qin was a winner in life than those who envied Lin Qin's wife for marrying a CEO. Because in addition to being beautiful, clever, elegant, mature, and other common characteristics of most CEO wives, Lin Qin's wife also had the characteristic of a painting that could be sold at a high price of millions.

That’s right, Lin Xin’s sister-in-law is a traditional Chinese painter who is very successful both in reputation and business. Many people said that her marriage to Lin Qin was like marrying a rough man who doesn’t know how to be kind (Lin Qin, who graduated from a prestigious university and whose whole family is scientists:…), and many people felt sorry for her.

Even Lin Xin, an honest child, couldn't help but feel sorry for his perfect sister-in-law. When his sister-in-law and Lin Qin were in love, he advised her to think more about it, but was chased and beaten by Lin Qin.

However, Lin Qin still successfully married the beauty, making others envious.

This is probably love.

Lin Xin used up the last bit of his energy in the game, cleaned up the materials he had obtained, closed the game, and looked up, saying, "I don't want to move."

Xue Fei put down the fruit plate and ruffled Lin Xin's hair: "Then I won't go. I'll go reply to the message."

Lin Xin rubbed Xue Fei's palm and continued to lie on the sofa like a salted fish.

Xue Fei looked down at his lover, whose appearance had hardly changed from ten, twenty, or even thirty years ago, and felt sad.

Although he took good care of himself and was in good health, people who didn't know him said he was no more than 30 years old. But seeing Lin Xin's ageless appearance, he still felt a little inferior about his appearance.

However, Lin Xin was originally praised by fans for his "beautiful face". Both his figure and face are top-notch among movie stars. As he gets older, he has added a touch of mature charm. For an ordinary person like him to compare his looks with those of big stars is just asking for trouble.

Yes, Lin Xin is fifty this year, but he still looks as young as a young man in his twenties. Some stars tease him, saying that if he doesn't get older, he will go crazy.

Some people speculated whether he had plastic surgery, but his face looks pretty much the same as before and it's clear that he hasn't had any surgery.

At most, some medical beauty treatment?

However, Lin Xin's relatives and friends all know that Lin Xin really doesn't look old and is just naturally beautiful.

However, when he announced at the age of 40 that he would only make one movie a year and would no longer accept variety shows, he became more melancholy and mature, which broke the hearts of his fans. They condemned the three major international film festivals for colluding with each other and forcing the young actor, who was still in the prime of his career, to semi-retire.

Other stars are in tears. Making a high-quality movie every one or two years is something that many stars in their career rise cannot do. Is this called semi-retirement?

Well, compared to the previous situation where Lin Xin was always on the hot searches and hot topics every year, now he almost only appears in film and television works and not in other media. He is indeed semi-retired.

Even the veterans in the entertainment industry and the juries of the three major film festivals couldn't help but talk to Lin Xin, saying that although they did have the idea of asking Lin Xin to give way to young actors, it was just that Lin Xin would no longer participate in the awards, not that she would retire.

Lin Xin had to explain one by one that he would continue to work, but he would not be on the show.

Now it has been ten years, and Lin Xin is still in the film industry and singing, so those who care about Lin Xin can rest assured.

But Xue Fei, as the person closest to Lin Xin, was not at all reassured. He keenly felt that Lin Xin was very sad, and had been sad for ten years without any improvement.

This may have to start from Lin Xin's concert to give back to his fans, or it may be related to his last song.

Xue Fei knew that Lin Xin had a virtual pet named "Xiao Guang" in her phone, a big fat cat with wings. After the concert, he did not see the virtual pet in Lin Xin's phone or computer again. Could it be that Lin Xin was really sad for ten years because the virtual pet accidentally broke down?

Xue Fei felt a headache.

As an ordinary person, it is probably difficult to understand Lin Xin's feelings. However, if we regard the pets in Lin Xin's phone as real cats and dogs, perhaps...

Well, Xue Fei still couldn't understand.

It would be fine to be sad for a month or two, but it has been ten years and Lin Xin still observes a moment of silence on this day, as if he had set a memorial day.

"So what are we having for dinner?" Xue Fei asked, "We have to eat something, right?"

Lin Xin glanced at Xue Fei with a melancholy look, then turned over and said, "Whatever."

Xue Fei joked: "What about noodles?"

Lin Xin said nonchalantly: "Yeah."

Xue Fei frowned and sighed.

Forget it, let Lin Xin calm down for a while. After today, Lin Xin will be back to normal.

Xue Fei really cooked a bowl of noodles with soybean sauce for Lin Xin. Lin Xin ate the noodles mouthful by mouthful with a decadent and melancholy expression, which made Xue Fei lose his appetite.

Fortunately, although Lin Xin looked depressed, he still ate a lot of noodles. He quickly finished all the noodles and asked Xue Fei to add another bowl.

Xue Fei breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it was still edible.

After finishing the noodles, Lin Xin continued to lie down in melancholy. Xue Fei poked Lin Xin: "Lie down after eating, be careful not to gain weight. You have gained a lot of weight now, right?"

Lin Xin glanced at Xue Fei with a melancholy look. Well, he had indeed gained weight.

Although they are separated from Xiaoguang, as the original system intelligence, they will have benefits even if they become human. For example, they will retain the system space and the optical brain replica, but they will no longer issue tasks or rewards, and they will no longer be able to connect with the main brain and the system intelligence space. Of course, their technology will stop at this moment, and they can no longer receive new information or upgrade. Unless they are in the highly developed society where the system intelligence exists, then the technology they have is consistent with that time.

Of course, it is impossible for Lin Xin's system intelligence, which has come to another low-tech space, to upgrade its data.

But this is enough. There are so many holographic games in the virtual space. For example, Lin Xin has not yet cleared the survival mode hell difficulty. It is still no problem for Lin Xin to keep training in the system space.

But now when Lin Xin entered the virtual space, he felt very lonely. So he went in less and less frequently, and spent less and less time in it.

Even though Lin Xin's physique is different from that of ordinary people, he will still gain weight if he doesn't move.

Lin Xin sighed. It seemed that he would have to enter the virtual space and play the holographic game for a while longer.

"Let's go down and take a walk?" Xue Fei suggested cautiously when he saw that Lin Xin was interested.

Lin Xin was about to answer that he didn't want to go, but suddenly froze. A few seconds later, Lin Xin flipped off the sofa and rushed into the bedroom: "Change clothes! Drive out!"

Xue Fei: ???

Xue Fei asked: "What's wrong? What happened?"

Lin Xin said as he changed his clothes: "Come with me to pick someone up! The journey is a bit far! It's best to bring some food! We will take turns driving."

Xue Fei was puzzled: "It's far? Who should I pick up?"

Lin Xin's melancholy expression had been replaced by a bright smile: "Xiao Guang, Xiao Guang is back!"

Xue Fei:!!!

Your virtual pet?! Wait, where do you pick up your virtual pet when it comes back? How do you know it's back? Is it the production engineer who went to pick up your virtual pet?

Xue Fei was completely confused and wanted to continue asking, but Lin Xin just said that they would talk about it after they met and told him to get out of here quickly.

Xue Fei was urged by Lin Xin to change his clothes and go out together. Following Lin Xin's navigation, the two took turns driving for a total of eight hours, all the way to the gate of a children's welfare home in a county-level city.

Lin Xin hurriedly put on sunglasses and a hat and rushed out. When he reached the door of the welfare home, he hugged a little boy who was standing at the door looking around and burst into tears.

The little boy was stunned for a moment, then he also hugged Lin Xin and burst into tears.

Xue Fei: “???”

Xue Fei suddenly wondered if this was Lin Xin's illegitimate child.

"Xiaoguang, Xiaoguang, Xiaoguang..." Lin Xin cried and shouted.

"Lin Xin, I'm back, wuwuwu, I'm back..." The boy also cried and shouted.

Xue Fei: “!!!”

Is it really Xiaoguang?! Isn’t Xiaoguang Lin Xin’s virtual pet?

Xue Fei felt a little dizzy.

Lin Xin and the little boy's crying attracted the welfare home's staff. The little boy had just arrived at the welfare home, and the staff thought that the father had found his abducted son, and the lost father and son finally met. They also advised Lin Xin and the little boy not to be too sad, saying that it was good to meet each other, and to be careful in the future and not let the child be abducted.

Xue Fei: "...Xiao Xin, won't you explain?"

Lin Xin wiped her tears and said, "I'll tell you when I get back that I'll adopt the child first... What procedures are required to adopt the child?"

The staff member said: "If you are his relative, the procedure is very simple. You just need to provide proof of blood relationship."

Lin Xin: "Uh...Xiao Guang, are we related by blood?"

The boy…well, Hikaru said unhappily, "No! I'm brand new!"

Lin Xin said to Xue Fei in a depressed tone, "What should I do? How can I adopt Xiao Guang? Brother Fei, please think of a way."

Xue Fei: "..." How do I know what to do! What on earth is going on? !
