Chapter 48 Immersive Date 4: City
The hot breath hit his lips, like the heat wave in the midsummer afternoon, burning Luo Qinglin's lips and making them numb and itchy.
Luo Qinglin pursed his lips, held his breath and raised his mental alertness to avoid being bewitched by the vixen.
"Brother Yanyu," Jiang Yanyu reminded slowly, "As long as you call me, I will get up immediately."
Luo Qinglin counterattacked without thinking: "Then why don't you call me Brother Qinglin?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Qinglin shuddered subconsciously. The four words "Brother Qinglin" sounded so corny when they came out of his mouth that it made him feel uncomfortable all over.
Jiang Yanyu was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then smiled ambiguously and said, "So Mr. Luo wants me to call you 'Brother Qinglin'?"
It wasn’t enough to say “Brother Qinglin” in the question. Jiang Yanyu tilted his head and whispered into Luo Qinglin’s ear:
"Brother Qinglin."
Jiang Yanyu deliberately lowered the tone of his voice, which was deep and sounded as if mixed with mind-destroying drugs, making Luo Qinglin uneasy.
The resonance vibrated all the way from my ears to my mind.
The only thing in his mind was Jiang Yanyu's words "Brother Qinglin" that kept repeating. The sounds of birds singing, leaves rustling, and wind all around him disappeared, leaving only a tiny, hazy echo.
"It's your turn, Brother Qinglin." Jiang Yanyu reminded.
Luo Qinglin felt goosebumps just thinking about the four words "Brother Yanyu", let alone actually saying them out loud.
Luo Qinglin didn't say anything. He kept his mouth shut and acted like an ostrich, trying to get away with it by being silent and playing dumb.
Seeing that Luo Qinglin was still silent, Jiang Yanyu sighed and said dissatisfiedly: "Brother Qinglin is cheating and not keeping his word."
"I didn't agree, you were the one who insisted on shouting!"
Luo Qinglin retorted: "Also, don't call me Brother Qinglin anymore, it sounds weird."
"Brother Qinglin is not trustworthy and deceived my feelings." Jiang Yanyu said in an aggrieved tone.
The vixen started acting again.
Luo Qinglin simply closed his eyes, deciding to turn a blind eye to it, and prepared to wait for Jiang Yanyu to finish her performance and sit up.
"Brother Qinglin~"
"Why is Brother Qinglin ignoring me?"
"Brother Qinglin is so annoying!"
......
Jiang Yanyu kept talking, and his tone became more and more delicate. Luo Qinglin's scalp tingled, his hands and feet curled up, and he even had the urge to punch him.
"Stop! Stop shouting!" Luo Qinglin opened his eyes and said with a frown.
"I will stop if you call me Brother Yanyu." Jiang Yanyu said with a mean smile.
Seeing that Luo Qinglin was still hesitating, Jiang Yanyu continued to call out in a pretentious manner: "Brother Qinglin~"
"Stop, stop, stop! Stop first." Luo Qinglin quickly interrupted the monster's spell.
Jiang Yanyu stopped talking and stared at Luo Qinglin quietly, waiting for his next words without moving.
Luo Qinglin coughed uncomfortably a few times, avoiding Jiang Yanyu's close sight and looking at the blue sky between the gaps between the leaves.
After taking a few deep breaths and preparing himself mentally, Luo Qinglin called out in a very small voice: "Yanyu...Brother..."
As soon as he finished speaking, an inexplicable feeling of shame surged from head to toe. Luo Qinglin was so ashamed that he wanted to dig a hole in the ground and jump into it.
Luo Qinglin gritted his teeth, filled with regret.
Jiang Yanyu was amused by his expression, and chuckled and said deliberately: "I didn't hear it clearly."
Luo Qinglin ignored the hint in Jiang Yanyu's words, bit his lower lip, and decided never to give in to the vixen again.
"Can you please shout it again?" Jiang Yanyu coaxed in a low voice.
Luo Qinglin pursed his lips, shook his head silently, and refused to give in.
Seeing that Luo Qinglin was determined not to give in, Jiang Yanyu sighed loudly, stood up with regret, and pulled Luo Qinglin up from the ground.
The interlude ends and the game continues.
Jiang Yanyu took Luo Qinglin's hand, crossed the lush birch forest, and continued walking forward.
The birch forest in the film and television city is not very big. After walking less than a hundred meters, you will see a broad view.
An ancient city building comes into view. The city wall is not very high, and people come and go in front of the city gate in an endless stream.
Jiang Yanyu walked to a mask stall outside the city gate and said, "I want all these masks."
After saying this, Jiang Yanyu took out a few silver bills from his sleeve and threw them into the hands of the stall owner with great generosity.
The vendor took the banknote, read the words on it with shining eyes, bowed to Jiang Fox Demon with gratitude, and left the stall with a smile.
Are this person's sleeves Doraemon's pockets?
Luo Qinglin glanced at Jiang Yanyu's sleeves curiously, trying to see through the cuffs to see what was inside.
"Help me choose a mask." Jiang Yanyu said.
Luo Qinglin withdrew his gaze and looked at the various masks on the table.
After thinking for a moment, Luo Qinglin picked up a silver half-face mask and hung it in front of Jiang Yanyu's face to examine it.
The mask is printed with red-gold cloud-thunder patterns. The patterns are three-dimensional, combining squares and circles, with continuous lines, giving it a traditional and majestic feel.
"Help me put it on." Jiang Yanyu said as he took the mask.
Hearing this, Luo Qinglin turned behind Jiang Yanyu, pulled the strings on both sides of the mask, and gently tied a knot, "Okay, turn around and let me see."
The mask covered most of Jiang Yanyu's eyes, leaving only her tall, three-dimensional nose and plump, red lips visible outside the mask.
Once the fox eyes were covered, Jiang Yanyu's frivolous temperament was reduced a bit, and he looked more like a young man from a prominent family who kept a low profile and did not want to attract attention.
Nowadays, the calm and elegant temperament prevails, and the frivolousness in Jiang Yanyu has been completely suppressed.
Does it mean that even if the New Chinese style and the Punk style are integrated together, one of them is bound to be overshadowed and it is impossible for them to perform equally?
Did he really want to replace the "twins" plan with "couples confrontation" and just hand it in to get it over with?
As soon as he stopped running, Luo Qinglin couldn't help but think about work.
"Don't let your mind wander." Seeing Luo Qinglin daydreaming again, Jiang Yanyu reminded him.
Jiang Yanyu checked whether the mask was worn firmly, then took out a bright red translucent veil from his sleeve and tied it around Luo Qinglin's face.
"What on earth do you have in your sleeves?" Luo Qinglin couldn't help but ask.
"Something you wouldn't expect."
After saying this, Jiang Yanyu took Luo Qinglin's hand, walked leisurely through the city gate, and entered the city.
The scenery in the ancient city is lifelike, with neatly arranged shops on both sides of the streets and alleys, shops and teahouses everywhere, and every shop is bustling with people, and there are customers bargaining with shop owners in the workshops.
There were some homeless vendors in front of the shops, wearing tattered clothes and shouting to sell their wares. The shop owners noticed that there were people blocking their door, so they walked out of the shop angrily and tried to drive the vendors away.
The scene before him was too real, as if the city life in ancient paintings had come true. Luo Qinglin was shocked by the lifelike picture and stopped unconsciously.
In addition to shock, there is also a sense of panic about the misuse of money.
There are at least a hundred extras in the show so far, plus the venue rental and other fees. Luo Qinglin can't imagine how much money it will cost just to play this "game".
And such an expensive game is just for him to find inspiration.
The person next to him suddenly stopped moving, Jiang Yanyu turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"
Luo Qinglin was speechless for a moment, and then asked slowly: "Did you hire someone to arrange these extras and scenery?"
"The scenery was already there, but the extras were arranged temporarily this morning." Jiang Yanyu replied.
"How much did these sets cost..." Before he could finish his question, he was interrupted by Jiang Yanyu.
"Luo Qinglin, I don't want to hear words like 'waste', 'too expensive', 'unnecessary', etc." Jiang Yanyu's voice suddenly became a little cold.
Noticing Jiang Yanyu's displeasure, Luo Qinglin quickly shook his head and explained, "That's not what I meant. I'm just curious about how much it costs to play a game."
Jiang Yanyu narrowed his eyes and examined him for a few seconds, then replied, "These people were arranged by Jiang Chan, and I didn't pay for them."
Hearing that Jiang Yanyu did not spend any money on him, Luo Qinglin breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the state he was in before entering the city gate.
After adjusting his state, Luo Qinglin was about to move forward, but was suddenly pulled back by Jiang Yanyu and hugged from behind.
"How much do you remember about what I said on the helicopter that day?" Jiang Yanyu asked, resting his chin on Luo Qinglin's shoulder.
"Just remember...you asked me to try to understand your world."
Jiang Yanyu sighed slightly and said helplessly: "Luo Qinglin, let me say it again."
"You don't like diamonds, luxury and extravagance, so I won't put these things in front of you to please you and try to change you."
"But for today's game, or some rare job opportunities, I don't want you to feel guilty or resist them just because they are worth a lot of money."
"You should consider these as my gifts for pursuing you. Don't just be bothered by their monetary value, but look at the value of my heart, okay?"
Luo Qinglin suspected that the vixen could really read minds and could accurately grasp his anxiety every time.
The feeling of panic gradually faded away, and was replaced by a kind of warm warmth that warmed Luo Qinglin's chest.
Luo Qinglin exhaled lightly, remained silent for a few seconds, and finally replied: "Okay."
After getting a positive answer, Jiang Yanyu smiled softly, loosened his arms around Luo Qinglin, and pulled him forward.
Jiang Yanyu seemed to be in a very happy mood. She squeezed his hand gently from time to time, and the corners of her mouth under the mask curled up slightly.
The eyes of the extras on both sides of the street turned over and focused on them. Luo Qinglin did not feel uncomfortable because all the attention was on the hands that were being held.
My palms feel warm. This time of holding hands seemed to make Luo Qinglin feel more at ease than any other time in the past.
Suddenly, a breeze blew, gently lifting the veil on Luo Qinglin's face.
The soft cloth gently rubbed against his skin, exposing Luo Qinglin's face. The people around him suddenly changed their expressions, from confusion and curiosity to horror.
"What happened to them?" Luo Qinglin asked in a low voice.
"They saw your face," Jiang Yanyu replied leisurely, "and were ready to come forward to stop us."
Luo Qinglin sighed and said tiredly: "So are we going to start running away again?"
"No need," Jiang Yanyu said, pointing to a teahouse in front of the right, "Look there."
Luo Qinglin looked up and saw a Taoist priest in a navy blue robe. He was holding a peach wood sword in his left hand and holding a magic mirror in his right hand. He was standing on one foot on the arch of the teahouse, looking very majestic.
Swish...
The Taoist threw two talismans towards where the two men were, spread his arms, jumped down from the top of the beam, and landed in front of the two men.
The Taoist priest moved quickly, pointed the peach wood sword directly at the fox demon Jiang's throat, and shouted loudly: "You bold fox demon! Let Hua Gongzi go!"
The author has something to say:
Jiang Yanyu: Brother Qinglin~~
Luo Qinglin: Shut up! (Covering ears)
Author: The vixen is older than Luo Qinglin, and she keeps calling him "Brother Qinglin" simply because she is thick-skinned.
