Chapter 111 Chapter 111 “…So you are…
"...So you are here for tourism?" Wen Qian looked down at the snow beneath his feet.
The thick layer of snow made a "crunching" sound when stepped on. She liked the sound very much and even chose to walk in places with thicker snow.
Xia Zhiqing lost his focus and saw Wen Qian, who was beside him, almost went into the woods along the snow.
He reacted quickly and pulled the person back.
"I'm here for tourism." Xia Zhiqing thought about it and didn't tell his real purpose for coming here.
He said that he came here to avoid Xun Cang because he was too annoying. Then if Wen Qian asked him why Xun Cang bothered him?
After thinking it over, Xia Zhiqing came up with a plausible excuse: "The snow scenery here is very famous. I'm here to spend two days."
"A scenery lover!" the player sighed, as if remembering something, and took Xia Zhiqing's arm and walked back.
Xia Zhiqing was stunned for a moment, subconsciously followed her for two steps, and then reacted.
"What's wrong?"
Is something left behind?
"I just passed by a small ice lake. You came here to see the scenery, so I'll take you there!" The player took Xia Zhiqing to an interactive point he had passed by before.
"I don't know what the next mission will be. If I'm very busy, I might not have time to bring you here. Now is a good time to go."
The person leading the way in front spoke loudly.
Xia Zhiqing's heart moved slightly, and he said softly, "It's okay. Just tell me the location and I can come by myself. Can you go back and rest for a while?"
During the conversation just now, he learned that Wen Qian had been in the mountains for most of the day. His first reaction was to take her back to rest.
After all, Wen Qian had been quite active in the mountains for most of the day - meaning he had been hanging on the trees.
Without some rest, he was worried that she would get sick.
Hearing Xia Zhiqing's words, Wen Qian shook his head: "It's different if you come here alone, so I'll accompany you."
Not noticing Xia Zhiqing's dazed expression, Wen Qian turned back and grabbed him, then quickly walked towards the ice lake recorded on the system map.
Large lakes of frozen water shimmered in the sunlight, surrounded by soft, fluffy snow.
The snowdrifts showed the recent snowfall, but the lakes were bare of snow, gleaming translucently in the sunlight.
Xia Zhiqing, who was just making up an excuse, couldn't help but be attracted by the scenery.
"It's beautiful, isn't it?" the player said proudly.
"Watch carefully from now on." Wen Qian reminded him, and when Xia Zhiqing looked over, he opened the system panel and changed the icon behind the weather function to small snowflakes.
Fluffy, fine snow fell from the sky, landing lightly on the frozen water surface.
Looking at the fine snow falling bit by bit, Xia Zhiqing was slightly stunned.
The player is very satisfied with his masterpiece, so he must have her come along!
If she didn't come today, even if she gave Xia Zhiqing the address, he would not see this kind of scenery next time.
Because as long as she stays here for one day, the weather here will be sunny for one day, and she will not let it snow while she is doing the task.
Snow is indeed beautiful, but it affects efficiency.
Snowflakes fell on the surface of the lake, forming a thin, translucent layer of snow.
The surface of the lake was not as clear as before, as if covered with a layer of mist.
The cold air carried the bitter fragrance of trees into his nostrils. Looking at the lake, Xia Zhiqing smelled a hint of the unique fragrance of citrus fruits from the unique smell of the forest.
He turned sideways to look at Wen Qian. Perhaps to accompany him to see the lake, Wen Qian did not walk around, but just stood beside him and made snowballs.
The snowflakes that fell on her hair accumulated little by little, forming a small snowdrift on top of her head.
He couldn't help laughing. Seeing Wen Qian looking up at him with a puzzled look, Xia Zhiqing didn't explain the reason. He naturally raised his hand and patted the snow on her head.
"Let's go back," Xia Zhiqing said. He turned around and took one last look at the icy lake before leaving. "It's a beautiful place. Thank you for bringing me here."
"Now I understand why you insisted on bringing me here today." Xia Zhiqing said with a smile, "There's not even a speck of snow on the lake."
If we come two days later and it snows, the lake may not look as beautiful as it does today.
"It's strange, though. The snow is piled so thick around us, but there's not a single snowflake on the lake."
"Of course there won't be any snow on the lake." Wen Qian's tone was a matter of course. Facing Xia Zhiqing's gaze, she casually said the second half of the sentence, "I pushed away all the snow that had piled up before!"
Xia Zhiqing paused, seemingly unable to react: "What?"
"I mean, I cleared all the snow off the lake. Otherwise, what do you think I did in the mountains today?"
"climb mountains?"
"No, I won't do anything that simply consumes my stamina."
Xia Zhiqing... Isn't clearing the snow off the lake just a waste of energy?
Xia Zhiqing tried to look serious to warn Wen Qian not to go to the frozen lake, as it was very dangerous.
Before she could say anything, she heard Wen Qian recounting her experience of the day.
Moving rocks, clearing snow from the lake, playing real-life minesweeper on the snow with water below, climbing to the top of a tree to take pictures...
None of them sound safe.
"Will you come to the mountains again?"
"Not tomorrow." Wen Qian glanced at the task list and said affirmatively, "Not necessarily the day after tomorrow."
Xia Zhiqing, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, became alert again.
"Can you take me with you?" Xia Zhiqing asked, "It sounds interesting."
For some reason, he always had a premonition that even if he persuaded Wen Qian, she might not listen.
I have to look at her in a different way.
"Hmm?" Wen Qian thought for a moment and nodded readily. "Although this isn't a team mode, it doesn't mean we can't form a team. You can join if you want!"
Xia Zhiqing felt relieved. He tentatively asked, "Do you like playing games?"
He always felt that some of the words Wen Qian used when talking to him sounded familiar. When he thought about it carefully, it seemed that there were some game terms mixed in.
Seeing Wen Qian nod, Xia Zhiqing was somewhat happy that he had found a common topic. He turned sideways and looked at Wen Qian: "It seems that I was right. What games do you like to play?"
Hearing the name of the game casually mentioned by Wen Qian, Xia Zhiqing was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked: "Do you play this game too?"
It seems that this game has appeared quite frequently recently. Chu Lingyu came to him some time ago also for this game.
"Yeah!" Wen Qian nodded, "The game is pretty good."
Xia Zhiqing continued, "Well, I rarely play puzzle games like this. The production team is really good at this. Many of the twists and turns are quite interesting."
Listening to the person next to me seriously share with me which round of the game plot he is most satisfied with, analyzing the small details hidden in the game text, and finally asking her why she likes this game.
Wen Qian fell silent.
"Because..." She paused and said, "Sylvia is very beautiful."
Puzzles and hidden details were not enough to support her playing a sandbox puzzle game over and over again.
The fundamental reason why she was able to play for so long was very cliché - the character poked her XP.
Xia Zhiqing was silent for two seconds, then slowly said, "Sylvia?"
His only impression of this character was that her face was covered with bandages and she would jump in the face and kill the player at every critical moment.
Xia Zhiqing coughed softly and mentioned the next game exhibition that the production team would attend.
Just as he opened his mouth, he heard Wen Qian's weak reply, "It's already postponed."
The sadness was shared, and now there were two people who were listless.
After walking out of the mountain, Xia Zhiqing looked at Wen Qian and said, "Should we go back to the hotel first, or go eat first?"
The next second, he remembered that he had not asked her which hotel she was staying in. When he was about to speak, Wen Qian's cell phone in his pocket rang.
He took two steps back, signaling Wen Qian to ignore him and answer the phone first.
Wen Qian feels that a lot of people have called her recently. Is it because they all know that she doesn’t read messages very often?
"...Huh? How did you know I was here?"
"...I see, the scenery here is indeed beautiful. I just went to see the icy lake with someone...Sure, I'll pick you up!"
Hearing Wen Qian's cheerful voice, Xia Zhiqing frowned unconsciously. If she had something else to do next, would they be separated soon?
Xia Zhiqing pursed his lips and looked down at the phone screen absentmindedly. Jiang Zhi had already arrived. In the past, he would probably go to pick him up, but today he was in no mood.
"Xia Zhiqing!" Wen Qian walked quickly to his side, "I have to leave first."
Xia Zhiqing sorted out his expression and said with a smile, "Is there something you want to do?"
"Well, a friend is coming over, and I'm going to eat with him."
"Okay." Xia Zhiqing paused and continued, "Do you want me to take you there?"
"No, he's not far away, I can go by myself." Wen Qian waved his hand, "I'm leaving first!"
Looking at the figure gradually disappearing from sight, the smile on Xia Zhiqing's face gradually faded. The originally quiet environment now felt so quiet that it was uncomfortably quiet.
He sighed lightly, picked up his phone and called Jiang Zhi. Forget it, let him ask Jiang Zhi first if he had arrived at the hotel.
The phone was hung up as soon as it rang.
——If you have something to do, don’t call me next time.
Another busy man, Xia Zhiqing shrugged, it seems that he can only go to eat alone.
