anyone's wondering why the suddenly burst in activity, it's because recently, we've had a role reversal. Instead of Cao urging Cai to do work, it's Cai who's pushing for Cao to do work

Wildhood Friends physical by One Bean Culture: Design Concepts (Part 1)
Very much thank you to @/nandemonksloth for your help for them as well
Very much thank you to @/nandemonksloth for your help for them as well
![The overall design concept revolves around the main characters, unfolding along their timeline. After getting the main illustration and confirming the direction to be along the lines of "retro, nostalgic, passage-of-time, day-in-the-life, etc.", we began to incorporate elements from the text.
The main illustration shows the growth and changes of the two, from childhood to adulthood, from spring and summer to autumn and winter. The coming-and-going-to-school routine of their younger years also hints at the wider plotline of them maturing and leaving the nest to find their own paths, before finally wandering their way back together, back home for their resolution, reunion, and happy ending.
The outer cover is coated with UV sand. It feels slightly rough to the touch, so that, much like the feel of stroking a mural on a wall, you can feel the changing of the times.
The title is designed based on brand label clothing tags. Selling clothes was the through-line of Fu Kun's journey to financial independence. The path from his first time setting up a roadside stall to opening his shop in Datong was also the transformation of a carefree child to someone carrying family responsibilities on his shoulders. In the original design, the cloth was pasted directly onto the cover, but as the tailoring was not precise enough, it was later changed to UV-sanding, stamping, and stitching coated with PET film to imitate the visual effect of a cloth tag. The real cloth tag will come as accompanying merch, which you can sew on your own clothes—it'll be like having an altered item from Fu Kun gege's clothing line :P
The back cover shows some snippets of their lives: the bicycle they rode to and from school, Fu Kun drawing for Fu Yijie, and their bunk beds.

![The color of the inner cover corresponds to the outer. It uses their longtime habit of leaving sticky notes for each other to display their lives and growth in dribs and drabs.
There’s the rabbit Fu Kun drew for Fu Yijie, the milk and puppy they grew up with, and a caring reminder to eat breakfast. The three book names on the little receipt—the ones Xia Fei left to Yijie—have been rendered in English for certain reasons.
The note on the cover has a UV sand coating, while the parts with tape are UV varnished to mimic the texture of the real thing. 510 thousand words in two volumes can be difficult to flip through, so the book used thread-sewn binding. This makes it easier to display the color pages inside as well.
The elements in the second volume includes the two’s career paths after growing up, the Martha store that the big brother almost opened, as well as some snapshots of the two’s lives.

From the Q&A which One Bean Culture had with Wu Zhe while bringing us the uncensored physical for Wildhood Friends
![來自-你問我答 [2024.11.23]
"想問問5折老師,夏飛張青凱這對是不是在創作初期就註定了是be的結局? 從劇情上看,雖然副cp著墨不多,但是對主sp的情感推動發展功不可沒,無論是一截兒的性啟蒙還是後期媽媽的同意,就想問問這一對的創作思路。畢竟是很多人的意難平,也是老師交中少有的be結局,所以比較好奇。"
"我的故事一直以來都是he,哪怕過程艱難,也都會是美好的局。所以夏飛和張青凱也是我的意難平啊,哪怕是到現在,回看的時候也會淚目。
"其實也沒有很複雜的創作思路,就像是自然而然的,他們就出現在腦海裡了。畢竟故事發生的那個年代,這種哪怕是拼盡了全力無法有際人願的愛情是很多的,在某種程度上來說,他們是付坤和一截兒最純粹的情感裡所需要的那份指引,也是他們所需要的那份勇氣 ,更是幫助他們打破世俗柳鎖的天使。"
