Feng Siyu

After assigning the 'task' to everyone, Chen Yize returned to his computer, intending to start programming for the game [Tetris].

For the programming, in the end, Chen Yize intended to develop a kind of 'sample' first before considering adding something else.

First, he must divide the field he had drawn into 'grids' so the program could have these grids as a standard for calculating the position.

Then, Chen Yize began to recall everything about [Tetris] while noting them down.

In fact, there was a better way for him to recall these things.

And that was to eat another 'gummy bear' from the system.

However, when Chen Yize recalled his experience when eating that terrible thing, he immediately abandoned this idea that shouldn't have existed.

Just thinking about it again... and it had already made him feel like vomiting.

For this kind of 'simple' game, Chen Yize thought eating it was unnecessary and would only make him suffer.

So this time, Chen Yize decided to rely only on his memories when developing this game.

And while Chen Yize was taking notes of everything he could recall,

He found that things weren't as 'simple' as he thought.

For example, in the notes, he wrote...

[ - The players can control only one block at a time by moving it left or right, rotating it clockwise (or counterclockwise), ninety degrees each time.

[ - The players can also accelerate its descent, known as 'soft drop,' or drop it and lock it into place directly, known as 'hard drop.'

[ - The blocks are not allowed to appear outside the field's boundaries, no matter how the players control them.

[ - The blocks can either land on the bottom of the field or stack on each other.

[ - Whenever the players succeed in making a complete row, the squares in that row will disappear. And the things above will fall.

[ - The more lines the players have cleared, the faster the following blocks will fall.

[ - When the blocks stack high and reach the top of the field, it's a game over.

[ - Ghost block: Will appear directly below the current block the players control, serving them as a guide before each hard drop.

[ - Next queue: Allow the players to preview the upcoming blocks (Will set the number of blocks the players can preview at three for now.)

[ - Scoring: Will think of a specific way of calculating the score later.]

...

There were several kinds of things that Chen Yize had noted.

And when Chen Yize had just finished, suddenly, there was a voice that interrupted him 'again.'

"What are these?"

The voice this time came from Feng Siyu, a new artist of the Xinyi company and the only one currently.

At first, Feng Siyu gave Chen Yize an impression of being a cute and optimistic girl.

And at that time, he only thought: For some men in the company, having an opportunity to work with this kind of female colleague might make them feel overjoyed.

As for him? Well, whether his new colleague was a man or a woman, he didn't care.

He only regarded them as those who would work for him in the future and nothing else.

But after getting to know her for a while, he began to doubt whether this woman was... a child.

Her character could be described as simple, simple to the point of being naive.

And she had always been curious about everything she saw.

Coupled with the other things she had done so far, Chen Yize only had one word to describe her.

'A child'

That's right. For Chen Yize, he had already regarded Feng Siyu as an 'innocent' 'little' child who needed to be taken care of.

So, whatever Feng Siyu did, Chen Yize kept reminding himself, 'Just bear with it. She's just a child.'

"These? They're some of the graphics for the game I intend to develop."

Chen Yize simply gave Feng Siyu the answer she wanted after noticing that she was pointing at his 'masterpieces' on the screen.

"Wasn't this supposed to be my job?... 'Cause I'm an artist, you know?"

After saying this, Feng Siyu puffed out her cheeks, and Chen Yize could see that her hand had already shown... a sign of clenching.

Obviously, she was dissatisfied that she had been 'forgotten' again.

In fact, Feng Siyu had done nothing wrong. It's just that sometimes, she was too 'high-spirited' for a person like him, who only wants to be lazy, to bear.

So gradually, Chen Yize began to ignore her.

As it turned out, Lu Ming was somewhat similar to him in this aspect. They both chose to ignore her. Or should he say this guy had always 'ignored' everyone? As he had rarely spoken to anyone.

And Sun Qiang was the complete opposite as it seemed that this 'child' chose to avoid him instead. Maybe, it was because this guy looked so 'scary' in her eyes. Who knew?

So, in the end, Zhou Wei, who had a relatively better relationship with a 'child,' became a 'babysitter.'

And his responsibility as a 'babysitter' was to prevent the 'child' from making trouble.

Of course, for these additional 'roles' that they subconsciously agreed upon, they had never told Li Xinyi about it.

It's not that they hadn't tried to tell her about this matter.

But as it turned out, whenever Li Xinyi was around, this child had always turned into a seemingly 'well-behaved' child.

So when they were in a meeting with Li Xinyi, Feng Siyu had always remained silent and had never disturbed anyone like she used to, just like the 'well-behaved' child she was.

And when Li Xinyi wasn't present, this child would return to her mischievous self, a kind that had caused those around her a headache.

Whenever they told Li Xinyi about this matter, she had always waved her hand nonchalantly and simply responded with the words "I know.", which made them somewhat tired of 'reporting.'

Whether Li Xinyi really 'knew' about this matter, Chen Yize had no way to know.

And that's why they need a 'babysitter' like Zhou Wei to keep her from making trouble.

Glancing at Zhou Wei on the other side, Chen Yize found that this guy didn't know when he began to take notes of something on the paper and rip them apart, over and over again, like crazy.

'So, that's why this child can come and disturb me again,' Chen Yize thought.

"Wasn't you supposed to go and help those guys develop [Pong] and [Breakout] first?"

While sighing in his heart, instead of answering, Chen Yize chose to ask Feng Siyu back, intending to return this girl to where she should belong.

"Of course, I have already helped them, and now, I have come to help you."

Saying this, Feng Siyu crossed her arms above her flat chest and raised her head slightly, like saying, 'I'm a good girl. Come and praise me.'

"So… since you want to help me, how do you want to help?"

Chen Yize ignored her act of 'asking for praise' and asked Feng Siyu directly what she wanted to do.

If Feng Siyu didn't know, he wouldn't hesitate to 'shoo' her away.

"I will help you draw them again. The things you have drawn were simply too unappealing in my eyes."

While saying this, Feng Siyu didn't even bother to hide any of her disgust for the things Chen Yize had drawn.

Looking at the 'masterpieces,' Chen Yize wasn't convinced that his works were... that bad.

"Come on. Let me come."

Feng Siyu didn't wait for Chen Yize to respond and used her hands directly, intending to push him away, just to sit in his place.

And Chen Yize was too lazy to compete with a 'child' and stood up directly.

"Okay. But you better not mess with anything else in this computer."

Of course, before that, Chen Yize gave Feng Siyu a 'warning.'

"Okay. Okay."

Feng Siyu replied nonchalantly.

And Chen Yize decided to keep an eye on Feng Siyu as he didn't and had never fully trusted her.

About twenty minutes later, as it turned out when it came to something about art, Feng Siyu was still trustworthy.

For anyone else, it seemed that Feng Siyu was just designing a few more kinds of blocks.

But for Chen Yize, it was the first time he found Feng Siyu to be able to concentrate on a thing in front of her for this long.

Looking at her from the side, Chen Yize fell into deep thought.

…

After about an hour or so, Feng Siyu finally completed the thing she wanted to do, and that was to design a few more kinds of blocks.

Glancing at these designs that he couldn't have thought of, Chen Yize could only sigh.

'This child was still pretty good at art.'

But remembering that this child was an 'artist,' it seemed... pretty normal.

Looking at Feng Siyu again, this child had also turned to look at him.

At this moment, Chen Yize felt like he could read the other's mind as he could 'hear' the words 'Praise me. Praise me' from Feng Siyu's eyes without a need for her to speak.

"Good job."

In the end, Chen Yize decided to give Feng Siyu praise. The praise she deserved and the first one it was.

And Chen Yize gave Feng Siyu... a 'pat' on the shoulder.

"For art, I will need to rely on you more in the future." Chen Yize 'smiled' as he said.

'So you can have a thing to do and won't come to disturb me again,' Chen Yize thought.
