Chapter 322 His Love History
Liu Wangxue took two steps forward under Xu Qingsong's force, and then put one hand on his arm, almost wanting to put all her weight on him.
Xu Qingsong led her forward and encouraged her as they walked.
After a while, the view became wider and the two walked onto the wooden plank road on the lake. They finally arrived at a pavilion and sat down inside.
Xu Qingsong put the things in his hand aside, took out the hot drink he had just bought and handed it to her: "Drink something?"
Liu Wangxue took it and drank two sips slowly. Looking at the Quanfu Long Bridge and the open water not far away, he felt that it was worth being a little tired: "It still has to be a Chinese aesthetic. After this trip, I am a little tired, but I feel that my eyes and soul have been baptized."
Xu Qingsong took out a wet tissue and wiped her hands, then handed her a snack: "Eat a little to replenish your energy."
Liu Wangxue put the hot drinks and snacks aside, took Xu Qingsong's hand and put it on her lap, took the wet tissue and pulled out a piece, with a smile on her face: "Serve each other, I'll help you wipe it too."
Xu Qingsong felt warm inside because of her smile. He watched her wipe his palms and backs of his hands with a wet tissue, and then wipe his fingers one by one: "Are you not tired anymore?"
"With Mr. Xu's service, your health bar will be instantly refilled, okay!" After wiping, Liu Wangxue threw the wet tissue into their garbage bag, then took the snacks and placed them on his legs, "Replenish your energy."
Xu Qingsong raised his hand and pinched her dimple, then took out a small biscuit from the snack bag and fed it to her mouth, then reached out to take another cup of tea and took a sip.
The two of them sat quietly for a while, and Liu Wangxue finally remembered to ask him: "Have you been here before? It seems like you know this place very well."
Along the way, Xu Qingsong completely acted as a tour guide. He could talk about the history of architecture and the history of humanities. Liu Wangxue didn't even need to join the tour group.
"Yes, I've been here twice." Xu Qingsong nodded.
Liu Wangxue thought he was pretty impressive: "You've already figured this place out after just two visits? God, if that's the case, I think you'll get your money's worth wherever you go."
"No," Xu Qingsong said with a smile, "I didn't come here to play the last two times."
"What's that for?"
"The second time I came was for the game." Xu Qingsong opened a tiger skin scroll and handed it to Liu Wangxue, saying, "In the case of 'Ghost Oars Happy Boat' in 'The Twenty-One Cases of Dazhao', you set the story background in an ancient water town. I remember you also played the game. Now think about it, don't you think that ancient town in it is very familiar?"
Liu Wangxue took the tiger skin scroll and remembered after he reminded her: "That ancient town is based on Zhouzhuang!"
When she thought about it carefully, it was true that the layout of the canals and the street buildings were almost exactly the same as what she had seen along the way.
Xu Qingsong opened a pack for himself, took a bite and continued, "At that time, our entire team came here and lived here for about half a month. We visited every alley in person, and the art department drew countless pictures."
Liu Wangxue immediately became interested: "What about the 'mountain fire from the sky' case? Which famous mountain did you go to investigate?"
"That's not the case," Xu Qingsong smiled and shook his head, "It was designed entirely by the artist's imagination."
Liu Wangxue asked about one case after another, and the two chatted for a long time.
Xu Qingsong said: "In the beginning, Du Yunkai had a lot of ideas for the game. For example, he wanted to go to the field to collect materials and put real scenes into the game, so that it would be more immersive. But at that time, our studio had just been established, and he made a bet with his family that we were short of manpower and funds, so those ideas had to be shelved."
"Bet?" Liu Wangxue asked.
Xu Qingsong changed the subject and told her about this.
"Boss Du is really courageous. He actually bets his happiness for the rest of his life!" Liu Wangxue exclaimed, and then changed the subject and asked, "Then the PC game should not be short of manpower and funds this time. Are these plans going to be realized?"
"It's unlikely," Xu Qingsong felt sorry for Boss Du, "because we don't have enough time."
"Lack of time?"
Of course I don’t have time because I have to compete with Mu Jingsheng.
However, Xu Qingsong did not mention the name of this person: "He wants to compete with other companies. When their games are launched, we will also release them online. He wants to beat them down directly."
"Is Mr. Du so competitive?" Liu Wangxue felt as if she had gotten to know Du Yunkai all over again. "But as the old saying goes, good food is worth waiting for."
"That's right," Xu Qingsong nodded, "So after we discussed it, we decided to send a few people out to collect folk songs."
"I'm really looking forward to it now," Liu Wangxue said after taking a sip of tea, "When you do the internal test, you must give me a number."
"Okay, no problem." Xu Qingsong agreed immediately.
"By the way," Liu Wangxue finished eating the tiger skin roll in her hand and asked him, "The second time I came was for the game, what about the first time?"
"The first time was because of my ex-girlfriend," said Xu Qingsong.
He said this calmly, as if it was just a casual remark, but Liu Wangxue's eyes lit up and he became more interested: "Ex-girlfriend?"
She couldn't help but change her sitting position and leaned towards Xu Qingsong, ready to listen to gossip: "I haven't heard you talk about your ex-girlfriend yet!"
"Do you want to do this?" Xu Qingsong looked at her as if she was taking herself for granted, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
In this case, let's just eat melons together, so he said: "I haven't heard you talk about your ex-boyfriend either."
"You haven't heard me talk about it, but you know everything." Liu Wangxue retorted, "You've even seen it!"
She reached out to pinch Xu Qingsong's face and said with a smile, "I have reason to suspect that you deliberately changed the subject. You are avoiding talking about it because you are guilty. Tell me, is there something hidden?"
Xu Qingsong laughed a few times, took her hand and held it in his palm: "No secrets, break up peacefully."
He looked into Liu Wangxue's eyes and said, "I've been in two relationships before. The first one was when I was in college. When she graduated, she wanted to get married, but I was admitted to graduate school. At that time, I was not ready for marriage. She didn't want to wait, and I didn't want to delay her, so we broke up."
"The second relationship started when I was in my second year of graduate school," he continued. "She was also a graduate student, in the same class as me, studying architectural design. When we were about to graduate, I thought we would be separated, but coincidentally, the companies we received offers from were both in Haishi, so we moved here together. One time, the company assigned her an order to design a garden for a wealthy man, and the man wanted a water town style, so on weekends she would ask me to accompany her to visit the surrounding ancient towns."
