Fold the Moon



The overly realistic scene made Yunli subconsciously dodge back, and his hands left the handlebars of the motorcycle. The sound system of the VR glasses was installed inside the glasses, and Yunli heard a cute prompt sound, "Little boy, hold on to the handlebars tightly so that you can hug your daddy."

“…”

Although she knew that all this was virtual, the visual sense of reality in the VR world still made Yun Li resist hugging Fu Shi Ze.

But the more you care about it, the more these ordinary things become special.

In two seconds, the motorcycle started to move, and Fu Shi rode the motorcycle through the mountains and forests, shooting the monsters that jumped out at the same time. The image of the monsters also paid tribute to the classic arcade game. The simulation effect of the motorized device was very good, and several flipping scenes scared Yun Li so much that he closed his eyes.

When Yunli came to his senses, he found that he had tightened the handle again without knowing when. In the game, he was wrapping his thin arms around Fu Shizhe's waist.

Yunli felt beads of sweat on his forehead. Virtual reality technology was limited and could not provide true tactile feedback. However, just from the visual hug, Yunli felt his heart in his throat.

Fu Shi kept looking straight ahead, seemingly not noticing her presence at all. Yun Li stopped her hand as she was about to withdraw it, and pressed her palm with her fingertips, which was already covered with sweat. She took a deep breath, stretched out her fingers, and saw that she was hugging the figure in front of her again.

A secret hug...it doesn't seem to matter...

The end point was the edge of the canyon. She saw Fu Shizhe get off the motorcycle. The character in the game was wearing a helmet and sunglasses, and there were some scratches on his cheeks.

He held out his hands to her.

Yunli held her breath and saw Fu Shizhe's hands pass under her arms, pick her up and put her on the ground.

It was a short journey of just a few minutes, crossing mountains and rivers. Yunli looked at her small palm and mustered up the courage to hold his hand.

In her sight, the other person also gently held her hand.

Fu Shize had already taken off his VR glasses, and only saw the glove on his left hand vibrate. He turned his head to look at Yunli, who took off her VR glasses slowly after a while, as if she had not yet come to her senses.

After a few seconds of silence, the system began to broadcast the safety precautions for leaving the venue. Fu Shi first untied his equipment and walked to Yun Li.

Yunli's eyes were a little evasive: "This mode seems to be quite special."

Fu Shi bent down to untie her safety rope. It was the same game, but he didn't seem to be affected. He asked her, "What's so special about it?"

"This parent-child mode setting seems to prevent children from learning driving and shooting movements..."

Fu Shize was stunned for a moment: "You didn't shoot just now?"

"Yes."

"You don't ride a bike either?"

"Yes……"

Fu Shize's expression was slightly confused: "Didn't enter the game?"

“…”

Yun Li lowered his head, feeling guilty: "In parent-child mode, children can't operate, they can only watch the scenery along the way."

Fu Shi glanced at her and asked, "Does it look good?"

Yunli nodded.

Without asking, Yun Li could infer from their conversation that Fu Shi had no idea that she was sitting at the back.

That’s right—it’s impossible for him to have ever played the parent-child mode.

Unable to tell whether she was happy or disappointed, Yunli felt that she had gained a lot today. Under the blessing of technology, just like the excitement that arcade games once brought her, she experienced a completely different world.

But she hoped it was true.

After turning off all the equipment, the two returned to the office.

Yunli held the folder in his arms and whispered to Fu Shizhe, "Thank you for your guidance," then turned and ran away.

There were already three or four people sitting in the office. Yun Li suddenly felt a little nervous and walked back to his seat in light steps. Fortunately, he did not attract anyone's attention.

Deng Chuqi was delivering materials nearby and asked her to meet at the coffee shop on the first floor of Haitian Commercial City. Yunli packed up and sent a message to He Jiameng saying that he would not have lunch at the company.

Deng Chuqi: "So, you just played games this morning."

Yunli said dissatisfiedly: "This is not work."

Deng Chuqi said: "It's still a game that you have to pay to play."

Deng Chuqi took a sip of coffee and said, "Did Uncle Xia Xia show any concern for you? But he looks so cold and doesn't seem like someone who would take care of you."

"Be self-reliant." Yun Li glanced at her.

Not wanting Deng Chuqi to interpret his words as Fu Shizhe's "doing nothing", Yun Li organized his words and said, "Uncle Xia Xia is also very nice to me. When he came to our school a few days ago, he accompanied Fu Zhengchu to watch a football match and brought me along as well."

Yunli did not mention any other details.

"You guys went to watch a football match together. Do you know anything about football?" Deng Chuqi suddenly remembered something and tapped the table. "I remember now. You participated in the robot football match before. You should be familiar with the competition system."

Yun Li shook his head: "In a football game, as long as we score a goal, it's fine. If we score a goal in a basketball game, it's also considered a win."

The robot football match that Deng Chuqi mentioned took place when Yunli was in her second year of high school. They were both in the best high school in Xifu, and the school had many activities to improve students' comprehensive qualities.

That was the first time Yunli knew about the existence of the Science and Technology Festival.

Yunli barely made it into this high school, and was overwhelmed by the excellence of his classmates. The monthly exam rankings were announced, which was a physical and mental torture. Many times, Yunli held the ten-centimeter-long report card without the class teacher knowing. This small piece of paper with pits on the edge was a night full of tension.

Don't want to go home.

Yunli always stood there, holding the piece of paper in his hand, two blocks away from home.

Over a distance of five meters, repeatedly kicking the same stone from one side to the other.

Until it was so late at night that I had to go back.

The announcement of the Science and Technology Festival happened to be the end of the monthly exam. As expected, Yun Yongchang did not agree with her participation in this "meaningless" event.

In fact, in Yun Yongchang's eyes, academic performance is everything.

Going to a good university is the only way for ordinary people to change their destiny.

He also pins his hopes on his two children.

"Look for yourself, how you did in the exam. With this score, you still want to participate in those messy things." Yun Yongchang tore up the note and threw it into the trash can.

It was clearly a piece of light paper, but when it was torn into pieces, it became so heavy that Yunli couldn't breathe.

That day, just before the registration deadline, Yunli recalled the video that had gone viral more than a year ago.

Like a madman, Yunli signed up for the robot football match. Each team needed to build a robot under the guidance of a coach.

The school invited top students from Xifu University of Science and Technology to coach them, and the captain of each team was a student from Xifu University of Science and Technology.

There are nearly sixty teams participating.

Yunli's team spent three weeks building these six robots. The official competition is 5v5, and a backup robot is required.

In the early stage, their team leader wrote codes remotely at West China University of Technology, and in the last period of time, he would come to the school to assemble robots with them.

There are only a few days left until the competition.

The captain asked them to find a surface with greater friction and familiarize themselves with the operation of the robot.

It was the weekend and the plastic track in the playground was still soaked in the early morning humidity.

Yunli found a corner and put the robot on the ground. The robot did not look good, with a dark gray square body, two round yellow eyes, and a white head.

It's a little ugly, but it's okay as long as it can move.

Yunli operated the joystick on the handle, but the robot was very slow and often required her to push it in one direction for several seconds before it would slowly crawl.

Yunli spent the whole day trying to get the robot to push the stone to move, but she couldn't get the robot to move until the scorching sun finally shone out at noon. She went to the store, bought a loaf of bread, and sat back on the playground.

Staring at this stupid robot, Yunli munched on the bread dejectedly.

She just felt sad, flicked the robot's head with her finger, and complained: "Why are you so stupid."

Later, she stared at the robot dejectedly and let it approach the stone from half a meter away. She also squatted on the ground and followed the robot carefully.

The hot wind from the north blew on his face like a tide. When he lowered his head, Yunli caught a glimpse of a pair of canvas shoes next to him.

Yunli raised her head and saw a tall and thin boy who looked familiar. His eyes and hair were brown, but his facial features were soft and handsome. Yunli was stunned for a moment.

“Sorry to bother you.” The boy smiled and said, “It’s just me and my friend—we passed by here today, but he was a little shy and didn’t come over.”

He pointed to the audience seats, far away, where a boy was sitting alone among the ocean of blue seats.

The boy also looked at them. Yunli could only tell that the other person had a very fair complexion, but he couldn't see his appearance clearly.

Yunli stood up.

"We've been here all day and I saw you playing with this robot all the time."

Yunli was a little shy in front of strangers, but when he heard him say that, he reacted instinctively: "I'm not playing, I'm training it!"

The boy was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed.

Yunli was a little embarrassed and asked him, "Why are you laughing?"

The boy didn't answer her, but squatted down to look at her robot: "This robot is quite cute, did you build it yourself?"

Yunli said nothing, but stared at him vigilantly, afraid that he might accidentally break his treasure.

As he leaned forward, a pass slipped out of the boy's pocket. It was placed in a transparent card holder. Yunli recognized that it was a pass specially issued by the school to students of West China University of Technology.

He is the captain of another team.

Yunli didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Seeing Yunli staring at his pass, the boy thought she was curious, so he picked it up and showed it to her.

There is a picture of Ultraman on the ID photo.

“…”

The picture blocked his name, and only the word "Yuan" could be seen.

At that time, Yunli had not had much contact with men of this age group. She only felt that the other party was gentle yet rebellious. She took a step back and stared at him.

The boy picked up the small stone, stood up and threw it into the grass. The stone disappeared in an arc. He took out a small football from his pocket, drew a smiley face on it, put it in front of her robot, and asked her: "Do you think this is suitable?"

Yunli looked suspicious.

The boy took a step back and said to her: "Try again."

Yunli operated the joystick, and the robot, which had been stupid all morning, moved forward two steps. But when it was time to push the football, it suddenly got stuck again.

The boy looked a little embarrassed and asked, "How about I give it a try?"

After struggling for a long time, Yunli finally handed the handle to the other party.

On a mild afternoon, the boy patiently told her how to easily control the robot and the direction of the ball.

After being able to use the robot to move the football, Yunli showed his first smile since they met.

"I'm leaving. My friends are waiting for me." The boy's soft features were blurred in the light. Yunli picked up the small football and looked over. The boy had already run far away. Faintly, a word starting with "U" was printed on his back.

Yunli widened his eyes.

"wait--"

The call on his lips stopped, and Yunli stood there looking at them.

I don’t know when, the person who had been sitting silently in the audience also arrived at the entrance of the playground. The two were about the same height and wore the same jacket. The letters on the back were completely invisible.

Yunli never saw the other person's face clearly.

Such a brief meeting was forgotten by Yunli. Later, she devoted all her energy to her robot. Although she did not rank high in the competition, Yunli won her first small trophy.

She placed the small football next to the trophy on the bookshelf in the room.
