Chapter 131

Huan Xu felt that the temperature of Yan Ze's palm seemed too hot. With Yan Ze holding his arm, Huan Xu thought aimlessly: Yan Ze's body temperature should be higher than normal. No wonder Yan Ze is afraid of heat and his ears and neck turn red at any time.

Now it was Yan Ze's turn to try to find a topic to divert his attention. For this day, he had been urgently trained by his family at home for three rounds, and they had come up with ideas and designed the most romantic plan for Huan Xu's birthday.

But Grandpa hadn't taught him what to do when his heart was beating too fast and he didn't want to be noticed by those around him. Xiaoyan could only think for himself and, in a moment of wit, used words to mask the sound of his heartbeat: "Ah, are you scared?"

Huan Xu: "What are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid of falling."

Huan Xu's answer was matter-of-fact, as if he had something to rely on to be extremely confident: "What's there to be afraid of?"

Yan Ze, who hadn't heard the underlying meaning of Huan Xu's words, was puzzled: "Why?"

Without waiting for Huan Xu to reply, Yan Ze spoke again, "There's a bump ahead. Lift your left foot, yes, step over it, then your right foot. Okay, the road ahead is flat, and we'll be there soon."

Huan Xu imitated the tone of an ancient knight and said with a smile, "So, with you by my side, I can brave any mountain of swords and sea of ​​fire."

Why else? With Yan Ze as his human crutch, why should Huan be afraid? Besides, even if he were to fall, Huan Xu was confident that Xiao Yan would be able to protect him before he hit the ground.

This time, Director Huan really wasn't testing Xiaoyan on purpose. However, the teasing was unintentional, and the listener took it to heart. Hearing Huan Xu's trust in him, Xiaoyan's long eyelashes flickered again, and her voice was even lower and gentler than usual: "Okay, we're here."

Slender fingers slowly untied the knot of the ribbon, being careful not to pull any hair.

As the navy blue ribbon slides past your eyes, what comes into view is a large park-like building complex.

The last two words on the stone plaque were "Park", but Huan Xu was unsure about the type of park. Apart from the two words "Park" exposed on the plaque, the theme in front was covered by a bright red cloth and had not yet been unveiled.

"What's inside?"

The corners of Yan Ze's lips curled up slightly, like a child sharing his favorite sparkling gem with his closest friend. His tone was light and slightly raised, with a hint of impatience to show off: "Come in and take a look?"

"Is it the new theme project of Fenghuo that everyone guessed..."?

Huan Xu's voice stopped abruptly, his eyes slightly opened, and the moment he saw the scene in front of him, surprise and astonishment appeared on his face.

Facing him was a magnificent palace complex.

The central axis passes through the palace. When you step into the Meridian Gate, it is as if you have traveled through a tunnel of time and space, and are brought back thousands of years by this magnificent complex of buildings that carries countless histories and cultures.

Golden tiles and vermilion walls, painted and carved beams, golden dragons and jade phoenixes, and glazed enamel.

It embodies the image of heaven and earth, and its warp and weft are yin and yang. It follows the correct position of Kunling and imitates the round and square shape of Taizi. (Note: "Western Capital Fu")

·

In the mixed colors, the emperor's unfulfilled tenderness is hidden, and the history of the Ming and Qing dynasties walking on the yellowed pages comes to life before our eyes.

What Huan Xu saw before him was the Forbidden City, the imperial palace of two dynasties that had emerged from history and had completely "come alive".

Huan Xu suddenly turned his head to look at Yan Ze.

"Surprise?"

"Super invincible surprise, how did you do it?"

The treasure that had long disappeared in the long river of history reappeared before Huan Xu's eyes. It was as majestic and magnificent as in his memory. It could not be created overnight. It was as if it was copied and pasted directly from another parallel world where the disaster had not yet occurred on the blue planet.

Huan Xu once gave Yan Ze a figurine of the Forbidden City of his home planet. At that time, he never thought that Yan Ze would actually give him a real Forbidden City in return.

Yan Ze raised the corner of his lips slightly, but did not explain immediately. Instead, he said: "This is my first time here since the completion of the project."

After a pause, Yan Ze said softly, "I'm waiting to inspect it with you."

From the outer court to the inner court, from the east road to the west road, from the moat to the imperial garden, Huan Xu noticed that the Forbidden City in front of him was not just a restoration of the palace complex with staggered and progressive layers.

With its flying eaves and interlaced brackets, it also restores the spirit of the craftsmen from thousands of years ago.

Yan Ze raised his hand and tapped lightly on the optical computer system. During this journey, he also took Huan Xu to see the splendor of this ancient city in different seasons and time periods, from spring to autumn, and from day to night.

In spring, all things come back to life and are full of vitality. Flowers are in full bloom. The magnolia in front of the Cining Palace and the vermilion city walls complement each other, and the fragrance is refreshing.

In summer, the weather is cool and pleasant with green trees. The Jinshui River meanders along. A raccoon squats by the lake, watching the koi swimming in it.

Autumn is golden, brilliant, and solemn. The golden ginkgo trees sway in the autumn wind, witnessing countless historical moments. He lived what he thought was a perfect life, and she dreamed under the moon by the window.

In winter, the city is covered in snow, quiet and solemn, with red walls and silver clothes, and the snow-capped palaces standing proudly. In the silence, the vicissitudes and glory of this ancient city are further outlined.

Huan Xu raised his hand and stretched out his hand to catch a falling snowflake. The hexagonal crystal began to melt the moment it touched his palm. The rain was real, and even the snow was real, as if it added a bit of reality to this romantic inn in time and space.

Under Yan Ze's slightly surprised gaze, Huan Xu directly climbed over the fence, grabbed a snowball and threw it at Yan Ze, saying with a smile:

"I've been wanting to ask you this before, Yanze, how high is your temperature? Why are your ears still red even in the snow?"

We are getting wet in the snow together today, can we be considered to grow old together?

"I really like the gift. Today must be the most memorable birthday I've ever had. I'll never forget it in my life."

Yan Ze sent him on a reverse journey.

Even if the two of them cannot become lovers in the future and are just friends, even if Huan Xu is old and has a bad memory, he will never forget this impossible possibility.

"Thank you, Yanze."

Huan Xu thought this was the end, but unexpectedly, it was just the beginning.

Led by Yan Ze, the two walked out of the Forbidden City. Looking back, they saw that the Forbidden City, which originally covered an area of ​​150,000 square meters, had been reduced in proportion to a large building venue covering an area of ​​15,000 square meters. Therefore, Yan Ze and Huan Xu were able to tour the entire Forbidden City in less than an hour.

The reason why it is called a venue is that it is like an antique exhibited in a museum. Above this 15,000 square meter building, it is completely covered by a large transparent "glass cover".

This is why, when Huan Xu was in it before, he did not realize that the entire replica model was scaled down. This is a combination of reality and virtual technology.

In a completely real experience, with the help of technology, it deceives people's vision and hearing, and introduces the director's shooting system into reality, combining it with real scenes to weave a real romance for people.

Looking back, Zhuang Zhou dreams of a butterfly and the butterfly dreams of Zhuang Zhou. It is like the Forbidden City walking out of the pages of the book, and it is like Yan Ze and Huan Xu shrinking together and entering the miniature world that belongs only to the Forbidden City.

The three plots of land that Yan Ze bought are all very large. Even if there were still some left over after building the complete version of the Forbidden City, they are now compressed proportionally. Naturally, there are other surprises in the remaining open space.

Under the leadership of Yan Ze, they came to the restored scenic spots and historical sites through the combination of the second reality and black technology.

The endless wall stretches across the vast land, like the backbone of the earth. No matter whether the sky is clear or stormy, it stands on this land with its unparalleled posture, supporting the past and future between heaven and earth - the Great Wall.

Standing on the beacon tower and looking into the distance, you can see the endless mountains. Every brick and tile under your feet tells a magnificent history. At this moment, Huan Xu Yanze seems to have become the guardian of history.

keep going.

A temple suddenly appeared before my eyes, like a dream caressed by moonlight, emitting an ancient and mysterious glow.

Huge stone pillars stand tall and majestic. The sunlight shines through the gaps between the pillars, casting mottled light and shadows. The exquisite reliefs and murals silently tell visitors the legend of the goddess of the moon, the lord of hunting and the forest, and let them listen to the ancient call and the gift of nature - the Temple of Artemis.

Then, under Huan Xu's witness, the pyramids, the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus, the Colosseum... these man-made wonders that had long disappeared along with their mother planets reappeared.

Huan Xu's mood can no longer be expressed simply by excitement. It is shock, emotion, and even more so, relief and gratitude. It is not because Yan Ze prepared such a grand birthday gift for him, but because he is grateful to Yan Ze for restoring these ancient monuments to the world.

In one afternoon, in addition to the nearly forty ancient monuments of various sizes that have been built, Yan Ze also took Huan Xu to visit a private museum located in the park. Needless to say, the owner of the museum is naturally Yan Ze, and the museum displays cultural relics that Yan Ze has collected from various places over the years.

Now he has placed them all in the museum. When the park is open to the public, the museum and all the collections inside will be displayed to the tourists who enter.

As time passed, when it was almost five o'clock, Huan Xu discovered that Yan Ze confirmed the time on the computer several times.

Huan Xu: "What's wrong?"

Yan Ze, who was caught checking the time, coughed lightly, his eyes flashing with guilt, and said unnaturally: "Look at the time, I'm afraid... cough, I'll miss the party tonight and be late."

Huan Xu: ...It's obvious that this lie is a bit far-fetched.

They agreed to meet at 8 o'clock in the evening. Even if Yan Ze was afraid of being late, he didn't need to start looking at the watch three hours in advance.

Huan Xu narrowed his eyes slightly. It was obvious that Xiaoyan was not telling the truth, but Huan Xu was not the kind of person who would ask questions. Yan Ze didn't want to say anything, but Huan Xu believed that the other party had his own reasons.

Huan Xu nodded, and just assumed that he believed it.

Huan Xu didn't ask, but Yan Ze couldn't sit still. Huan Xu didn't expect that it was related to him again.

It was already past five o'clock, and Huan Xu was still touring Yan Ze's private collection. Yan Ze, who had previously nodded and patiently accompanied Huan Xu wherever he asked, suddenly said, "We've seen enough here. Do you want to go somewhere else?"

Huan Xu raised his hand and pointed to the east: "We haven't looked over there yet."

Hearing this, Yan Ze was silent for a moment, then spoke again: "Next time we go there, we should go visit other sights first, they are also very beautiful."

Looking at Yan Ze's awkward speech, Huan Xu smiled inwardly and stopped teasing him: "If you say it looks good, then it must be good. Let's go. As for the rest here, we'll do as you say and come back next time."

Huan Xu had guessed by now that there should be other preparations for the next place Yan Ze wanted to take him to, but he didn't know what that had to do with the time. Could it be a specific performance at a specific time?

With a little doubt and great expectations, the two came to the new area under Yan Ze's leadership.

The clear spring gurgles down from the top of the terraced garden, passing through the carefully carved waterways and fountains, making a pleasant sound.

The towering trees and low shrubs are full of vitality. They sway gently in the breeze, and the trembling of each leaf is the rhythm and expression of life.

Beneath the trees, clusters of flowers and green grass are blooming. They are not bound by gravity and grow leisurely in this space that does not belong to them.

The restored miracle that Yan Ze brought Huan Xu to was none other than the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. There were many legends about the Hanging Gardens, and even on Huan Xu's former Blue Planet, the specific details could no longer be verified. However, Huan Xu thought that the beautiful dreamland described in the records, suspended above the hustle and bustle of the world and interwoven by nature and human wisdom, should probably be what he saw before him.

This is another surprise that Yan Ze wants to show him.

"So beautiful, so pretty." It completely matched Huan Xu's imagination of the Sky Garden. Especially in the interstellar era, the records about the Sky Garden were fewer and more incomplete than those in the Blue Star era, so the restored building in front of him seemed even more rare and precious.

"Did you design this?"

“It wasn’t just me, I also asked a professional team and professors from the Institute of Paleoanthology for help.”

"That's pretty impressive too. If he weren't the CEO, our Assistant Yan would definitely be the best as an actor, detective, or modeler."

Of course, Xiaoyan, who had been praised so much, was not immune. His innocent ears felt hot again. It was not known whether he wanted to divert his embarrassment or he had been prepared for it. He brought Huan Xu to the hot spring in the center of the garden and signaled Huan Xu to turn a mechanism.

Huan Xu raised his eyebrows and turned the sculpture forward under Yan Ze's expectant gaze.

"Click, click, click."

The sound of flowing water suddenly increased. Amid the sounds of the turning of the mechanisms and the roar of some accelerators, Huan Xu felt a slight shaking, and the ground beneath his feet seemed to be shaking.

No, not an earthquake, not a seem.

But... as Huan Xu's body swayed for a moment, after he stood firm again, he suddenly discovered that the plane he was on was slowly rising at a slow and steady speed.

The entire ground and the entire garden rose into the air together. Yan Ze manipulated the control panel again at some point, and the transparent baffles covering the rest of the ancient buildings fell down one after another. As the height of the sky garden continued to rise, Huan Xu was able to see all the exquisite wonders.

Yan Ze's voice echoed beside Huan Xu's ears: "Although according to existing information, the 'Hanging Gardens' is just a beautiful legend, the name 'Xuanyuan' comes from its stacked, gradually decreasing trapezoidal platforms, with many flowers and trees planted in the middle. From a distance, it looks like a garden built in the air, hence the name 'Hanging Gardens'."

"But I thought that if this garden could actually be in the air, it might be another kind of romance, so when building this wonder, we designed two modes: flat ground and suspended."

Huan Xu took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. He was so shocked that day that he couldn't express it in words. But at this moment, he was still so excited that he unconsciously pulled Yan Ze's arm and said, "Yan Ze, you really are a genius!"

For some reason, Huan Xu suddenly thought of a seemingly unrelated yet crucial question: "From the valuable land the park sits on, to the construction of each wonder, to the use of cutting-edge technology, and finally, the grandiose construction of the entire island suspended in mid-air, the cost must be astronomical, right?"

If all this was just to celebrate his birthday, and if Yan Ze said that he was not interested in him, I am afraid no one would believe it.

Hearing Huan Xu's question, Yan Ze's face froze, which seemed to confirm Huan Xu's words. The construction of the entire scenic area was extremely expensive, and it was all funded by Mr. Xiaoyan alone. In fact, after the Institute of Ancient Research heard about it, Grandpa Dou, Yan Ze's uncle, also said that he could act as a middleman. If Yan Ze was willing, under Yan Ze's meaningful and complete blueprint, he could apply for official investment.

However, as soon as Grandpa Dou’s suggestion was put forward, it was rejected by Yan Ze.

It's not that Yan Ze has any objections to the official, but this is a gift he wants to give to Huan Xu, and it must be prepared by him alone. In addition, Yan Ze has a little idea. With the official investment, although the future management rights will most likely still be handed over to him, there may be differences on some things.

So now the entire park is under Yan Ze's name alone, and he will soon hand over the park's property certificate to the "organization", which was something Yan Ze had thought of before.

However, in order to achieve the ideal effect, President Yan waved his hand and all the equipment in the park used the most advanced and cutting-edge science and technology, which means that the cost is high as Huan Xu just said.

Even President Xiaoyan was almost drained out by this series of attacks. As for the remaining money from building the park, it was completely squeezed out by President Xiaoyan for the big event in a few minutes, that is, the proposal and surprise that he had learned from Secretary Gao last year.

In short, Ms. Xiaoyan's current situation is that apart from the real estate, Fenghuo and other investments under her name, and the assets held up by stock speculation, she has no cash left, and her pockets are cleaner than her face.

This morning he almost had no money to refuel the hover car. Fortunately he suddenly remembered that as Fenghuo's CEO he had distributed company salaries yesterday and General Manager Xiaoyan's salary card had more money deposited into it, so he had enough living expenses for this month. Otherwise he might have to rely on foreign debt to survive for the next month until the profits from the investment projects were distributed, so that he could get rid of the current deficit situation.

Mr. Xiaoyan had a beautiful idea, and it seemed that Huanxu was satisfied with the construction of the wonder. However, it was not until this moment that Mr. Xiaoyan realized a serious problem. He was penniless now. Even if Huanxu did not despise him for being "poor", he would probably despise him for being "spendthrifty".

"What's wrong?" Huan Xu noticed that Yan Ze's expression suddenly began to change drastically after he asked the question. He was complacent at first, then fell into deep thought, and then he didn't know what he thought of, his pupils trembled again, and his whole temperament became shaky in an instant.

If you ask Yan Ze if he regrets it, the answer is definitely no. As far as Huan Xu is concerned, he is willing to spend any amount of money and will be happy to do so. What makes Yan Ze regret is why he didn't work harder and earn more money before. If he had earned more before, it would seem that he would not be so extravagant with his money, right?

Huan Xu: "Yan Ze, you..."

Yan Ze Dog lowered his eyes and looked at Huan Xu: "It's my fault that I can't make more money."

Huan Xu: ...

He looks so pitiful. What's the matter? If he had known this, he wouldn't have brought up the money issue just now.

Also, Mr. Xiaoyan, please don't tell anyone about this, otherwise Huan Xu is really afraid that Yan Ze will be attacked by everyone. He is too ordinary, and the most hateful thing is that he is so ordinary but doesn't even realize it.

Before Huan Xu and Yan Ze could say more to remind people to be careful, the time came to 5:20.

That is, at the moment when interstellar time is unified, there will be a daytime meteor shower in the park.

Outside the park, above the merged planets such as Cangtian, Haotian, and Youtian, starships that had long been hidden behind the clouds appeared. As the huge screens on the ships stretched out in the sky, wonderful film and television clips and shots flashed by quickly.

Some of the clips are all from Huan Xu's first official film shooting to all his film and television works to date, including movies, TV series, promotional videos and even variety shows.

Some clips show the moment when Director Huan won the award.

The height of the Sky Garden at this moment allowed Huan Xu to be more directly impacted by this massive and powerful advertising campaign from the best possible perspective.

The large fan celebration for Director Huan's birthday, which covered the sky of several capital cities, lasted for five minutes.

In the last minute, at 5:25, the formation for playing this highlight clip changed again.

It was also at this minute that, tens of millions of meters in the sky, two large banners composed of countless large flying ships, which could be seen by the entire capital and even the surrounding areas of the capital, were seen by everyone who looked up at the sky at this moment.

"Director Huan, happy birthday!"

"Huan Xu, I love you!"

At 5:25 sharp, countless Huan Xu fans in cities across the stars spontaneously launched brilliant electronic fireworks into the sky, lighting up the entire sky with artificial starlight.

When Huan Xu was at a loss, Yan Ze gently reminded him: "It's time to make a wish."

"Yeah, it's settled."

Huan Xu looked up at Yan Ze again, and when they looked at each other, Huan Xu saw countless stars and tenderness reflected in Yan Ze's eyes.

And, the only me.

Little did he know that Yan Ze also saw Huan Xu looking at him intently.

As they stared at each other silently, an inexplicable atmosphere brewed, and the temperature around them seemed to slowly rise, gradually becoming stained with a layer of pink ripples.

Huan Xu's gaze fell on Yan Ze's even more perfect thin lips and then moved away for a moment. He was thinking that maybe he could try to confess his feelings to Yan Ze during Valentine's Day in a while, but now the atmosphere was just right and the person in front of him was so close to him, and he suddenly didn't want to wait any longer.

"I have something to say to you." Unexpectedly, two voices sounded at the same time.

"I'll go first." ×2

"Then you speak first." ×2

Huan Xu paused and said with a smile, "Stop pushing back and forth. Let me speak first."

Could it be that Yan Ze also wanted to confess to him? Well, if he said it first, would Yan Ze be surprised?
