I couldn’t get up early this morning, but I hurried to finish yesterday’s diary. Then, I got ready for the day with Hamer, washing up and preparing for school. After dropping her off, I went back home to make breakfast. Today, I deliberately used a tray to arrange everything nicely. Xiaoyan even smiled and took a picture with her phone, saying the plating “had a vibe.”

During the day, I was completely immersed in work, thinking about how much I could push the features forward before the Feature Freeze. Most of my time was spent optimizing device connectivity, followed by dealing with layer structure, saving issues, and tweaking the right-click menu and properties panel. The work pressure was quite high, but the progress was decent. In the evening, I discussed things with a colleague, and we decided to separate the device positioning structure. This way, the user experience would be smoother. My colleague was very helpful and assisted in implementing part of the features.

I also started coughing today—there’s a colleague who’s been coughing for a while now. The two of us were coughing back and forth in the office, which gave everyone a good laugh as they teased us for our “synchronized coughing.”

I got home around 10 p.m., just in time to meet Xiaoyan on her way back, so I picked her up. Hamer had already gone to bed with her grandma, and the house felt especially quiet. Before bed, Xiaoyan suddenly started thinking about buying new clothes for me. She complained that my old clothes were too ugly and that I kept wearing the same few outfits, which she “couldn’t stand anymore.” She was really serious about it, occasionally measuring my waist and arm length. Her attention to detail left me feeling a bit helpless, but also quite touched. I couldn’t help but laugh, thinking that if it were up to me, I would have long given up out of laziness—no way would I have her level of patience.
