Chapter 22: Investing
Liu Wangxue changed into her casual clothes again, carefully put away the evening dress and high heels, then took out the Tibetan clothes and handed them to Wenxi.

In recent years, in addition to studying and designing Hanfu, Wenxi has also collected a lot of costumes from other ethnic groups, constantly learning to gain inspiration.

This Tibetan costume is a peacock green satin long-sleeved high-necked shirt with silver edges, paired with a pure black outer robe made of fine cotton. The lapels, cuffs and hem of the outer robe are all rolled with wide silver edges, and are embroidered with complex Tibetan patterns with green silk threads.

The overall design of the clothes has been improved. Unlike the traditional Tibetan robes which are loose, they are tightened in various places to make the lines better highlight the female body curves.

Liu Wangxue also matched the outfit with a set of jewelry, including a necklace, ring, earrings and a headdress, all made mainly of beeswax and turquoise, and set on a handmade silver base.

Wenxi's great-grandmother came from a small country in West Asia. Her genes were inherited from the previous generation and are prominent in Wenxi. Not to mention the advantage of height, her facial features, in particular, have both oriental charm and western three-dimensional depth.

Once they put on this set of Tibetan clothing and jewelry, not only Liu Wangxue, but even Wen Xi himself was stunned when he looked at himself in the mirror.

Liu Wangxue thought she would look good in it, but she didn't expect it to look this good. Her whole temperament changed, with a mysterious and exotic coldness. She also used the "killing eyes" she had honed in the workplace over the years, looking sharp and charming.

Liu Wangxue covered her chest and said, "This is what 'Sister kills me' means, okay!" She took out her cell phone and took pictures frantically.

All I can say is that they are truly good friends. They are aware of every strength of each other and know how to appreciate and praise each other.

After trying on the clothes, Wenxi took Liu Wangxue back to the living room to continue opening other gifts.

Suddenly, Wenxi asked, "Where are my uncle and aunt? I have been here for a while, why haven't I seen them? These gifts are for them."

Liu Wangxue told the story about her uncle's car accident.

"It's good that you woke up." Wenxi put the boxes under the coffee table and said, "It's really unpredictable."

"Who said it wasn't?" Liu Wangxue took out a furry cell phone pendant, which immediately attracted Pengpeng's attention. He raised his front paws to grab it and play with it.

Liu Wangxue liked this and didn't want to let it spoil it, so he picked up the ball at his feet, waved it in front of it, and threw it out. Pengpeng instinctively chased after it, then brought it back, letting Liu Wangxue continue to play with it.

Liu Wangxue said as he threw the ball: "So, we should enjoy and cherish every moment before any accidents happen."

Wenxi took a banana and peeled it and ate it: "So you ran to this corner to live out your retirement?"

Liu Wangxue smiled and said, "Oh, it's just a different way of living! If you can't roll up anymore, just lie down."

"Ah, I don't want to curl it anymore," Wenxi threw the banana peel away, feeling distressed, "but there are so many people in the studio to support, I have to curl it!"

Liu Wangxue unpacked the unnecessary packaging boxes one by one so that they could be easily thrown away. Hearing this, he asked her, "Are you short of money?"

Wenxi looked at the ceiling and said, "It's not just the lack of money! After signing the contract with Porcelain, we are not only short of money, but also short of people! Short of people! Models, designers, operations, everything."

Wenxi started to mutter as she spoke: "Before, when I wanted to attract investment, no one paid any attention to me. After the exhibition was held, those investors smelled the scent and came here. One by one, they all wanted to get a piece of the pie. I don't want my beautiful clothes to be stained by their money. Disgusting!"

"Wait a moment." Liu Wangxue went to the bedroom.

"What's wrong?" Wenxi's eyes followed her.

After a while, Liu Wangxue came out and handed Wenxi a bank card: "The breakup fee from Mu Jingsheng, five million."

Wenxi was shocked: "He's so stingy? He only gave this little? Doesn't he know that the breakup fee of the overbearing CEOs in romance novels starts at tens of millions?"

Liu Wangxue stuffed the card into her hand, smiled helplessly and said, "What are you thinking about? Take it quickly, just for emergency."

Although the money was not much, it could indeed solve her urgent need. Wenxi held the card and said, "Okay, I won't be polite. When you invest in the shares, don't worry, the loss will be mine."

As he said that, he took out his cell phone and called the legal department, asking them to prepare the contract and bring it over tomorrow.

Liu Wangxue stopped him and said, "Anyway, I haven't decided what to do with the money. You can use it first. Just treat it as a loan. You don't have to invest."

This money was unexpected gain, and Liu Wangxue didn't care about it, but it was her who oversaw Wenxi's studio and managed it bit by bit with her hard work.

She didn't have the ability to help financially at the beginning, and now that the studio is on the verge of taking off, she doesn't want to "take advantage of the fire."

Wenxi didn't care: "You must think this is unexpected money and it doesn't matter, but we are sisters, so we can't count it this way. I tell you the truth, no matter how this show with Porcelain goes, my studio's reputation has already been spread - of course I will definitely not mess around, what I mean is, if you want to use this money for me, you must count it as an investment, let a sister help you achieve a class leap!"

Wenxi's expression showed full confidence in the future. Seeing that Liu Wangxue was still hesitating, she handed the card back to her: "Otherwise, take it back. I don't want it."

Liu Wangxue didn't take it. She knew Wenxi's temper, so she compromised and handed the peeled orange to Wenxi: "Okay! I'll listen to you!"

Wenxi was satisfied. He took the orange with a smile, put the card away, and immediately called the legal department.

Liu Wangxue told her not to worry: "Hai City is so far away from here, your studio should be very busy recently, there is no need to make a trip alone."

"Hey," Wenxi raised her eyebrows, "Speaking of this, there is one more good news that I forgot to tell you."

"What?"

"Wait a moment."

After hanging up the phone, Wenxi said, "Didn't you sell the copyright to the story about the Hanfu designer you wrote for me last year? We just started filming it recently, and it was shot at the city's largest flower and bird market. They originally didn't plan to use the costumes from our studio, but later they heard about Porcelain's collaboration with me and came to ask for cooperation."

Wenxi rolled her eyes and continued, "I asked Xiao Zhao to come over first to discuss the contract with them."

Liu Wangxue comforted him, "This circle is like this, it's normal to flatter the powerful and bully the weak."

Wenxi nodded: "I know, so, if you don't make money, you are a fool."

"Hahahaha." They both laughed together.

Then Xiao Zhao's message came: [Sister Xi, the contract has been negotiated, they hope to sign it tomorrow, do you want to come over first? ]

Wenxi suddenly had an idea and asked Liu Wangxue, "Xuxu, do you want to take this opportunity to visit the crew? We can also sign our contract while we're at it." In the evening, the sky suddenly cleared up. Pengpeng saw the light of the setting sun in the yard and immediately took the leash to go to the willows to see the snow.

"What is it going to do? Go out?" Wenxi asked.

"Ah, it hasn't been out for a run in the past two days of rain. I guess it's getting impatient." Liu Wangxue took the leash, buckled it onto the collar, and patted the dog's head. "Wait a minute, we'll be leaving soon."

Just sit there and wait obediently.

Liu Wangxue kicked Wenxi and said, "Let's go. I'd like you to go see the scenery you've never seen before."

Wenxi sat up from the chaise longue and stretched: "Go! I didn't bring any sneakers, let me wear yours."

The two changed their shoes, and Wenxi went to Liu Wangxue's bedroom to get a rubber band and tied her hair up casually. Pengpeng saw the two move, and immediately followed excitedly.

The rice fields were refilled with water, and a new round of rice transplanting had begun, with machines and people working at the same time. The setting sun spread over the water and the ridges, shining golden, as if foreshadowing the next good harvest.

"Wow, there are real people in the painting!" Wenxi recorded the video with his mobile phone.

Pengpeng had already started running. Liu Wangxue pulled the leash to signal him to slow down: "We are about to start running. Do you want to join us?"

"I'm coming!" Wenxi put away his phone and followed.

In less than ten minutes, Wenxi gave up and panted while holding onto a tree by the roadside: "You guys run, I, I can't do it anymore, I really can't do it anymore."

She has entered the fashion circle. In order to maintain her figure, she has taken some yoga and Pilates classes and goes swimming from time to time, but for some reason she just can't run, and each time she can't run for more than ten minutes.

"Then you take a walk, I'll take it for a run and come back."

"Go, go." Wenxi waved his hand, his throat smoking.

Liu Wangxue didn't like sports before, but since she got Pengpeng, she actually discovered the fun of running. The sound of his breathing, heartbeat, wind passing by her ears, Pengpeng's increasingly strong body, his dancing hair, and the joy emanating from his body all made her love him from the bottom of her heart.

After the man and the dog ran back, Wenxi held two lotus leaves in his hand and handed them to Liu Wangxue: "Use them as props. I will take pictures for you."

Liu Wangxue inserted the petiole into Pengpeng's collar and used it as a hat. She sat on the ground, holding up another lotus leaf, and asked Wenxi to take a few photos. Then she stood up again and led Pengpeng to interact. Wenxi quickly caught the angle and used her mobile phone like a SLR.

This is the best time to take photos of the sunset. The light is soft and the background is open. The rice fields and lotus ponds are poetic in themselves. The dogs are lively and the beauties are charming. It is easy to take photos.

Liu Wangxue leaned over to look at the photo, touched and pulled at her pants: "Woof woof!"

"Okay, I'll show you." Liu Wangxue and Wen Xi squatted down together.

"Your skills are amazing now! The photos are so beautiful!" Liu Wangxue liked every photo.

"Who made my model so good? So beautiful and so camera-savvy." Wen Xi gently bumped Liu Wangxue with his shoulder.

Liu Wangxue felt itchy: "Come over, I'll take a picture for you too."

Wenxi looked at the sky and said, "The light isn't just right now. Let's do it another day. I'm going to stay at your place for a while anyway."

"OK!"

The two of them took a walk and went back with Pengpeng.

When I arrived at the gate of the courtyard, I just saw Xu Qingsong coming out.

Liu Wangxue greeted: "Want to go out?"

"A new barbecue restaurant opened in the town. Tao Huayu and his friends booked a private room. They asked you in the group, but you didn't reply." Xu Qingsong said.

"I went for a run and forgot to bring my phone." Liu Wangxue introduced him, "This is my good friend, Wenxi. He just came here today."

"Hello, Xu Qingsong."

Wenxi stretched out her hand and said with a smile, "I know you."

Xu Qingsong squeezed it lightly and then let it go, deliberately showing a surprised expression: "Ah? When did I become famous?"

"It's too contrived." Liu Wangxue commented.

"Hahahaha," Wenxi started to urge after she finished laughing, "Didn't we just say we were going to have barbecue? Come on, come on, I'm hungry."

Xu Qingsong looked at Liu Wangxue: "Then drive my car?"

Liu Wangxue was worried about Pengpeng: "Can you take it with you? I don't feel comfortable leaving it alone at home."

"Tao Huayu has said hello," Xu Qingsong nodded, "The boss said that as long as you stay in the private room, don't run around."

"Okay, then I'll go get its dog food."

When the three arrived, Tao Huayu, Yue Cheng and Lan Xiaoxi were already there. Li Yu went to practice and learn with Old Li, so he did not come.

Tao Huayu and the other two were too enthusiastic about it right from the start, and they rubbed it so hard that it went under the table and couldn't come out.

After a lot of fuss, Liu Wangxue introduced Wenxi to them. Inevitably, they talked about their professions. When they learned that Wenxi was a designer and specialized in making Hanfu, they were all confused.

Tao Huayu looked at Xu Qingsong, obviously wanting to stir up trouble: "Didn't you make an ancient style game, the "Twenty-one Cases of Dazhao"?" Then he looked at Wenxi: "I don't know if you have heard of it. It is said that the costumes and scenery in it are very well-researched. Is it true?"

Wenxi put down the water cup and looked at Xu Qingsong with surprise and excitement: "You did it! Oh my God, I didn't expect that the big boss would be by my side!"

Xu Qingsong smiled modestly.

Liu Wangxue concealed her surprise by eating, because she was the one who wrote the script for this game.

In her previous life, when she first joined Shenghai Entertainment as a screenwriter, it coincided with the company's new talent support program. She stayed up countless late nights, checked countless materials, did rigorous research, and spent more than a year to write a first draft of more than 300,000 words.

She excitedly showed it to her senior who was in charge of her at the time, who was also one of the persons in charge of the new talent support program at the time. He only took a glance at the book and cursed it as worthless.

Liu Wangxue himself knew that this script still had many immature parts and needed to be carefully polished, so he went back and stayed up late to continue revising it, constantly enriching the details, improving the character portrayal, and making the logic of the case more rigorous.

After revising it three times, the senior was still not satisfied, so he suggested to Liu Wangxue that he give the book to him and let him complete it.

But this was his own hard work after all, and Liu Wangxue was reluctant to give it up. He wanted to try again, so he politely declined the kindness of his senior and directly sent the outline to the general manager's email address, but the email fell into the sea.

Later, Liu Wangxue registered an account on a drama platform and serialized the script of "The Twenty-one Cases of Dazhao" on it.

After she changed her career to become a broadcaster, a person in charge of a game studio contacted her and wanted to buy the copyright of "The 21st Case of Dazhao". At that time, she was disillusioned with the screenwriting industry and did not care about the follow-up after taking the money.

After suppressing the surging emotions in her heart, Liu Wangxue asked Xu Qingsong: "When will the game be launched?"

(End of this chapter) Chapter 24 Struggle

"Last year!" Wenxi interrupted, "I told you specifically, but you, a love-sick person, were not interested at all."

Including the time of her previous life, "last year" seemed too far away for Liu Wangxue. She tried hard to recall it and struggled to pick out some fragments in her mind.

I can't remember exactly when, but it seems that during the live broadcast, a fan did mention a popular ancient style game and asked, "Did Wenxi Studio participate in the costume design and saw similar elements?"

Wenxi was right. At that time, Liu Wangxue was in the brainless period of "turning a deaf ear to the world outside the window and only caring about melodramatic love affairs."

"I'm interested now, okay?" Liu Wangxue took out his mobile phone, opened the APP store and searched for downloads. "Wow, more than 100 million downloads!" His pupils trembled and he looked at Xu Qingsong. He felt that he had lost money by selling the copyright for 200,000 yuan. Why?

Xu Qingsong has now become indifferent to it. When the game was launched, their small team thought it would be popular, but they didn't expect it to be so popular. They had dark circles under their eyes every day and kept fighting with the server. At one point, they were on the verge of collapse. Fortunately, the evil money saved them.

"This game became an instant hit as soon as it was released!" Lan Xiaoxi said while eating barbecue, "Sister Xuxu, you must try it, it's really brain-burning."

Tao Huayu insisted on changing the subject: "Hey, let's talk about clothes! Wenxi, just tell me, is there anything wrong with the clothes?"

Yue Cheng laughed at him: "Brother Yu, you are just looking for trouble somewhere else because you can't play the game well!"

Tao Huayu threw a small orange at him: "Who told Xu Qingsong not to behave like a human being!"

On the mobile phone screen:
[Your test has been completed]

When Tao Huayu mentioned this, he became angry and wanted to bite off the iron skewer: "It is because of this personality test that I was matched with a marginal figure! How can I solve the case? Xu Qingsong—"

Liu Wangxue understood immediately. In order to polish the script and make every character come alive, she wrote a complete biography for each character, even the supporting characters who only appeared in a few lines.

"Why?" Wenxi asked. She played this game purely to look at the costumes and sets. After she had seen and admired them, she put them aside and didn't pay much attention to them later.

[Matched character: Princess Ke'er of Lantian]

While he was talking, Liu Wangxue had already finished downloading and opened it: "Hey, why do we have to take a personality test?"

"This is one of the charms of this game," Xu Qingsong said while eating grilled chicken wings. "According to the different personality traits of the players, you can match them with corresponding characters. On the one hand, you have to play 'yourself' well and not ruin your character. On the other hand, you have to solve the case and pass the level to create an immersive life experience."

Liu Wangxue played for a few times and then stopped.

Tao Huayu quickly covered his mouth, and then Lan Xiaoxi took over the revelations.

"Why is it closed? Sister Xuxu," Lan Xiaoxi asked, "You are the only one around me who has matched with Princess Ke'er. I still want to watch the plot."

Lan Xiaoxi cast a sympathetic look: "Sister Xuxu, the difficulty of the game is hell."

Xu Qingsong said: "Every character starts with a dungeon. It is easier for the people of Dazhao to go to the main storyline, but the people of the surrounding small countries have to settle their own affairs before going to Dazhao."

Yue Cheng's gossip face came online: "That's why Brother Yu's character is always broken. He's stuck on the tenth case and can't get through it. He can't find any tutorials on solving cases online, and he asked Brother Qingsong, but Brother Qingsong ignored him. He was so angry that he smashed his phone hahahahaha"

When the person in charge contacted her to buy the copyright, she thought he was very generous, so she packed all the money and gave it away. Unexpectedly, all of them were taken advantage of. Why did she feel like she was at a loss again?

Amidst the laughter, several people gathered around Liu Wangxue to see what character she would be matched with after completing the test.

Yue Cheng recalled his experience with utter misery: "My first account was the eldest prince of Lantian. As a result, the entire country was destroyed by me. Not to mention going to Dazhao, I even lost my life. I had to go back to the previous game and start over again."

"I'm hungry. Let's eat first. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep up with the brain-burning pace." Liu Wangxue made an excuse, looked down at Pengpeng, and fed it dog food.

Although so many years have passed, she still remembers these characters that have come to life under her pen. She just knew what to do when the plot started, and it was effortless to make this opening copy.

Xu Qingsong looked at Liu Wangxue for a second longer and felt that she was a little unnatural.

"Yes, let's eat first." Yue Cheng pulled Lan Xiaoxi back to sit, "The barbecue is almost cold."

"Recently, a streamer on Pomegranate Video matched with a princess," Tao Huayu distributed skewers to everyone, "and it's quite popular."

Lan Xiaoxi also got it, but she was not optimistic: "What kind of game is she playing? Her IQ was crushed by the NPC."

"I think it's the fate of the country to be destroyed, hahaha." Yue Cheng commented.

Wenxi whispered to Liu Wangxue, "I've suddenly become interested in this game again. Can you go back and play with me for a while?"

Liu Wangxue made an "OK" gesture while eating.

There was laughter and chatter in the private room again, as people ate, drank and chatted.

Tao Huayu was sitting next to Xu Qingsong. He suddenly felt very sorry and puzzled. He whispered to him, "I really don't understand. You are so talented and capable, why were you laid off? What kind of rubbish has blinded the company's leaders!"

In fact, it was not as simple as layoffs. It was just that Xu Qingsong was reluctant to mention it. He pretended to be profound and laughed it off: "That's because I didn't show my true strength to the company."

"Don't give me that," Tao Huayu said in disbelief, "You must be hiding something from me."

"Hey, two big brothers!" Yue Cheng shouted.

The two looked up and saw that everyone was looking at them. Tao Huayu asked, "What's wrong?"

"We're going to the peach orchard next week," Yue Cheng said, "to pick peaches. Everyone has agreed. It's just you two left."

"Go, go, go, I agree." Tao Huayu quickly agreed.

Xu Qingsong also nodded and said, "Okay."

"What are you talking about? You're so engrossed in it that you've left everyone here alone." Yue Cheng asked.

"Well, this is not the Twenty-One Case anymore. Ask him when he will make a new one, a simpler one, suitable for all ages." Tao Huayu took the juice and filled up the glasses one by one.

"Really, Brother Qingsong?" Lan Xiaoxi was extremely excited. "Let's do another case 81 and continue to stir up a nationwide trend of solving crimes!"

Tao Huayu disagreed and filled her glass with juice: "Drink yours, what's the point of playing Case 81? Playing games is for relaxation. If you keep burning your brain cells, they will die."

Xu Qingsong smiled and said, "What are you doing? I'm just a nobody right now. I'll wait until I've had enough of lying down and want to turn over."

Wenxi sighed: "Why are all of them lying around doing nothing—"

Lan Xiaoxi also sighed and looked at Yue Cheng: "Who doesn't want to just sit there and do nothing? Unfortunately, my strength doesn't allow it."

"Wife, don't compare yourself with them," Yue Cheng comforted her with great sorrow, "A life of struggle is more meaningful to us!"

"That's right, don't let them corrupt your morale," Tao Huayu echoed, "Come on, let's raise a glass. We are people who have nothing, so we still have to struggle!"

"cheers!" There was nothing big about organizing this group. I just wanted to have a meal and chat with a few friends. Therefore, I didn't drink any alcohol and just dispersed after eating.

As the car drove out of the town center, the street lights became scarce. When we were almost at the door of our house, the car ran over something and suddenly there was a loud noise. Peng Peng was startled and screamed anxiously.

When Xu Qingsong felt the front of the car veering to the right, he quickly turned the steering wheel to the left. Fortunately, he slowed down in advance as he was almost home and stopped safely.

"It should be a flat tire. I'll go down and take a look." Xu Qingsong unbuckled his seat belt, pushed open the car door and got out.

Liu Wangxue in the back seat kept comforting the dog, and the dog whimpered into her arms.

Wenxi was also frightened: "Oh my god, it's a good thing we're not on the highway."

"The front tire is flat." Xu Qingsong came back and took out the key, saying, "It's only a few steps away, let's walk back."

Liu Wangxue took Pengpeng and Wenxi out of the car and asked, "What about your car?"

Xu Qingsong locked the car door and said, "We can only park here for now. I'll contact someone to come and take a look tomorrow."

When they got home, the dog seemed to have not recovered from the shock. Liu Wangxue peeled a banana and fed it to it, then held it in his arms and stroked its fur. After a long time, the dog started to play with its toys by itself.

Under the guidance of Liu Wangxue, Wenxi participated in the entire process of the protagonist group solving the twenty-one cases from the perspective of Princess Keer.

"What truth?"

"Do you want to hear the truth?" Liu Wangxue yawned again.

"OK!"

Wenxi curled up on the sofa: "They say people nowadays raise dogs just like raising children. I think you are no different."

Pengpeng has fallen asleep in its doghouse.

"The truth is, I wrote the script for this game."

It was just after midnight when the prompt box for completing the game popped up.

Liu Wangxue also yawned repeatedly, but Wen Xi stared at her with shining eyes: "Why didn't I realize that you are also a highly intelligent person before? Or are you screenwriters so familiar with the plots and routines of the stories that you can draw inferences from one example?"

"What a coincidence!" Liu Wangxue said with a smile, "That's what I was thinking."

On the first day he entered Dazhao, he was involved in the theft of food supplies for the Northwest Army and was placed under close surveillance by the Northwest Commander Liang Yanfeng.

Next, Wenxi was in charge of the operation, while Liu Wangxue watched from the side and gave instructions from time to time. In just over ten minutes, Princess Keer helped the eldest prince ascend the throne and took her people to Dazhao for marriage.

Wenxi said as she waited for the game to load: "I was matched with a concubine in the cold palace before. She died several times before finally getting out of the cold palace. I am more interested in your character now."

Liu Wangxue turned on the projector and picked a variety show to play: "It's not that exaggerated. I just think that since I have raised a child, I have to take responsibility."

"Didn't you say before that you wanted to get a cat?" Wenxi remembered that this was something Liu Wangxue wanted to do when she was in college. Later, she was busy with work and life and had no time to take care of a cat, so she gave up.

"Yeah," Liu Wangxue leaned back on the sofa and looked at Peng Peng chasing her tail. "I was planning to buy one after I cleaned up the house here. Who would have thought I'd run into it first?"

"That's just right," Wenxi said, "Aren't we going to the crew tomorrow? After signing the contract, let's go shopping at the flower and bird market. I heard that the crew's cats were rented from the pet store there."

Wenxi moved over and hugged Liu Wangxue: "After all, we are good sisters..." Then she picked up Liu Wangxue's phone and said, "Let's play for a while?"

"What!"

Liu Wangxue poured a glass of water and said, "Do you remember when I first joined Shenghai Entertainment, the new talent support plan I mentioned to you was written for that."

"Then I understand!" Wenxi has been in the workplace for so many years that he understands everything now. "So the teacher who taught you at the time was interested in your book and deliberately belittled it, just to make you give him the idea."

"Now it seems that this is the case."

Wenxi was so angry that she laughed: "This old man, the bullying and oppression you suffered later must have something to do with him!"

After the email fell into oblivion, Liu Wangxue became a invisible person in the department.

Those who entered the industry at the same time were brought into the creative team to write scripts, or were arranged to study in the crew. Only Liu Wangxue was not needed even for serving tea or water.

After a while, the senior came to her with an idea, saying that he had helped her get an opportunity in the company and asked her to perform well.

Liu Wangxue was very grateful, but also afraid that his writing was not good enough, so he often took his manuscripts to discuss with his predecessors.

Finally, the script was finished, the company approved the proposal and the project started filming. Liu Wangxue was waiting for the notification to join the crew with great anticipation.

However, Liu Wangxue learned about the opening ceremony from the Internet. The screenwriter was signed by that senior.

All of this suddenly had nothing to do with her.

Liu Wangxue went to the company to complain, but the management first responded with courtesy and then force. As a recent college graduate, she had no power, no background, and no money. She could not afford a lawsuit, so in the end she had to pay the money to shut up.

From then on, she was hidden by the company.

Wenxi took out his phone: "What's his name?"

"Tang Songhe." Liu Wangxue will never forget his first "mentor" after entering the workplace.

Wenxi looked at the retrieved content and slammed the sofa in anger: "This old Bidden, you have established a firm foothold in the industry with the scripts you wrote. In recent years, you have won so many awards! I wonder whose works those award-winning ones stole."

"Wow, someone really accused him of plagiarism!" Wen Xi showed his phone to Liu Wangxue.

Liu Wangxue flipped through the pages: "The person who exposed him has apologized."

Wenxi sighed: "I guess his mouth was covered."

When Wenxi was an intern, her design drawings were stolen, but the person who stole her design was a relative of the company's design director, and everyone in the company was united in protecting the thief. She only had a small salary a month, and she couldn't even afford to sue, so she had to swallow her anger.

"The girl who stole my design has now been hailed as one of the top designers in the country. This world is so unfair," Wenxi said.

"This world is inherently unfair," Liu Wangxue hugged Wenxi and consoled her, "It's good that you're going to make it big soon. Being the best in the country is nothing. If she's capable, she can work with an internationally renowned master!"

"Hahahaha, you're right!" The depressed mood disappeared in an instant, and Wenxi said, "If I appear in the same place again, I will be Niuhulu Wenxi!"

"Your Majesty is welcome back to the palace—"

"Hahahaha." Wen Xi laughed and asked Liu Wangxue, "What about you?"

"Me what?"

"Xu Xu, I understand your feelings and thoughts, but do you really plan to stay here forever?"

Liu Wangxue nodded: "I plan to stay here forever."

Wenxi was anxious.

"But..." Liu Wangxue continued, "I will never give up what I love!" After chatting for a long time last night, it was not the biological clock that woke Liu Wangxue up in the morning, but the sound of knocking on the door. Liu Wangxue had no choice but to get up, wash up, and take Pengpeng out for a run.

Wenxi couldn't get up. She watched Liu Wangxue get out of bed, then she tilted her head and fell asleep again.

Just as Liu Wangxue was getting ready, she received a message from Xu Qingsong: [Will you go running today? ]

She replied: [Let's go!]

The morning air is very comfortable, the thin mist slowly dissipates in the morning sun. The rice fields seem to have changed their appearance, with green spreading out one after another.

After running, the two of them walked back with the dog. When they passed a lotus pond, Pengpeng ran over with Liu Wangxue.

Yesterday afternoon, Liu Wangxue played with it with a lotus leaf, and it wanted more. It put its claws on a lotus leaf on the shore and looked back at Liu Wangxue.

When the lotus leaf was touched by it, it tilted at an angle, and the dew condensed on the leaf rolled down and fell into the grass.

Liu Wangxue walked over with a smile, picked the lotus leaf, and put it in the collar: "Okay."

Pengpeng was satisfied and walked with its head held high, as if the lotus leaf was its crown.

Xu Qingsong took out his cell phone early in the morning, took pictures of all the scenes, and handed them to Liu Wangxue to see: "Look, is it a dog spirit?"

Liu Wangxue didn't think so at first, but when she looked through the close-up of the camera, she said, "It really looks like it, hahahaha."

It was really rare to see such a small expression on a dog's face, from desire to anticipation to satisfaction.

Liu Wangxue said: "Send it to me, I will cut it when I have time."

"Do you want me to find someone to do the streaming for you?" Xu Qingsong asked.

"No need," Liu Wangxue said, "I'm not going to make money from this, I'm just posting it for fun."

After saying that, Liu Wangxue looked at him and said, "Your account has hundreds of thousands of followers. Could it be that you also did some streaming?"

"No," Xu Qingsong raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "these fans increased in an instant."

"ah?"

"I started posting videos in October last year," Xu Qingsong said. "Until the end of February this year, my number of followers was less than 2,000. Then on March 1, it suddenly skyrocketed to more than 300,000."

"Oh my god, what hit did you make?" In the self-media industry, excluding the influence of other factors, some accounts accumulate fans slowly, while others gain a sudden surge in attention after accidentally making a hit.

Xu Qingsong looked at Liu Wangxue and said, "Think about it, what happened on March 1st?"

Liu Wangxue recalled carefully.

After walking for a while, the lotus leaf fell off, and it turned its head to look at Liu Wangxue. Xu Qingsong bent over and picked it up and helped it put it back in place.

Liu Wangxue's thoughts were obviously not going in the right direction. Xu Qingsong felt helpless for a moment and said, "When someone was leaving the internet during the live broadcast, did he mention my account in the live broadcast room?"

"Ah?" Liu Wangxue was surprised. "It seems that there are really quite a few people who want to live a life of retirement." She became curious: "So, has your business volume increased?"

Xu Qingsong felt that her thinking was really unusual. Shouldn't he ask, "You're not my fan, are you?"
"No," Xu Qingsong said, "You can't just lie down and do nothing. Although the houses here are only tens of thousands of yuan, some people can't just take them out. In addition to the economy, what's more important is-"

"Courage and confidence." Liu Wangxue continued, "Do you have the courage to let go of everything and start over? Do you have the courage to face the unknown? Do you have the confidence to earn money to support yourself even if you don't work from nine to five?"

"That's right!" Xu Qingsong praised. "So most people who watch this kind of video probably have the mentality of 'Although I can't live this kind of life for the time being, I also want to see how others live.'"

As they were talking, they arrived at the gate of the courtyard and Xu Qingsong asked, "Are you going to use the car today?"

"I'm going to the city with Wenxi in a while," Liu Wangxue said, "What's the matter?"

"Can you give me a ride?" Xu Qingsong smiled a little embarrassedly, "Someone won't come to change the tire of my car until this afternoon. A friend is coming over, and I have to go to the city to meet him later."

"Sure, no problem."

Wenxi was still sleeping, so Liu Wangxue went to the kitchen to wash her hands and prepare breakfast.

There are some dumplings left in the refrigerator, so I take them out to make pot stickers. I also fry some bacon and poached eggs, wash two lettuce leaves to make sandwiches, and finally heat up some milk. That's it.

The fragrance drifted out, Pengpeng smelled it and came in to pull at Liu Wangxue's trouser legs. He was hungry and needed to eat.

Liu Wangxue was knocked over by the dog food, and turned around to see Wenxi coming out with sleepy eyes. He yawned and said, "Good morning—"

"I was thinking about pulling you down." Liu Wangxue said, "Breakfast is ready, go wash up quickly."

Wenxi walked to the bathroom, with resentment in her tone: "If Xiao Zhao hadn't called to urge me, I could have slept for two more minutes!"

After dinner, Liu Wangxue wanted to go out without makeup, but Wen Xi forced her in front of the mirror and forced her to put on makeup.

"You are going to the crew!" Wenxi said.

"I went mainly to see the cats," Liu Wangxue retorted.

"That won't work either," Wenxi said, "Our beauty's appearance is all about appearance. We should treat her like a work of art."

While I was putting on my makeup, Xu Qingsong sent me a message, asking: [Have you finished your breakfast? Do you want to leave?]

Liu Wangxue put down the beauty egg and replied: [Girls have many procedures to go through before going out]

Xu Qingsong: [I understand. Take your time. Don't be in a hurry.]

Liu Wangxue put down her phone and said with a smile, "I would rather my brain be presentable. High IQ is sexy. There is no comparison."

"NONONO," Wenxi said, holding a makeup brush. "Don't belittle yourself easily, and don't compare things of different dimensions together. The result of comparison is internal friction, and the result of internal friction is anxiety. Anxiety will make people depressed, and depression will have the greatest impact on appearance and luck."

Liu Wangxue began to put on her eye makeup: "Okay! Don't compare, don't waste time, don't be anxious, know yourself, and be a salted fish lying happily in the sun."

They both moved quickly, and in less than half an hour, they had completed a daily makeup with a touch of sophistication.

Liu Wangxue slightly modified his eyebrows and raised them upwards, as if he had become a different person, exuding a sense of heroic spirit.

Wenxi drew her eyebrows into delicate sword-like eyebrows. She had to have some aura when signing a contract. Her eyes were sharp, but her words were very childish: "Yesterday you ignored me, today I will make you out of reach!"

Liu Wangxue's clothes fell off her hands due to laughing.

Since no one was home, Pengpeng would naturally be brought along. Liu Wangxue packed a small bag specifically for his things.

The car drove out and honked in front of Xu Qingsong's courtyard.

As soon as Xu Qingsong came out, he was dazzled by Liu Wangxue's bright smile. He thought, it's different with makeup on, it's another kind of beauty that is unforgettable at first sight.

(End of this chapter) Unexpectedly, they were going to the same place - the only five-star hotel in the city.

"What a coincidence." said Xu Qingsong.

Wenxi asked him with a mischievous smile: "What friends are you meeting? Why do you have to go to a hotel?"

Xu Qingsong sat in the back seat, jerked off, glanced at Liu Wangxue secretly, and said with a smile: "He is both a friend and the boss. The boss asked to stay in the hotel. What can I do?"

Liu Wangxue glanced at the rearview mirror and asked, "Aren't you freelance now? How come you still have a boss?" She thought for a moment and asked, "Is it the studio that developed "The 21st Case of Dazhao"? "

"Yeah," Xu Qingsong said jokingly, "It's because the boss is too appreciative of talent and can't bear to let me go, so I'm just taking a long vacation in name only."

When the three of them arrived at the hotel lobby, Xiao Zhao was already waiting there. Liu Wangxue felt that it was inappropriate for her to be present while they signed the contract, so she asked Wenxi to go upstairs with Xiao Zhao first, and she waited for her in the coffee shop next door.

After Wenxi got on the elevator, Liu Wangxue asked Xu Qingsong, "What about you?"

Xu Qingsong pointed to the coffee shop next to him and said, "I'm going there too."

The two of them were talking as they walked towards the coffee shop.

The girl at the hotel front desk was on the phone, and she was very anxious when she saw them walking in with the dog, but she couldn't hang up. Just then a colleague came over, and she quickly pulled her colleague's sleeve, signaling her to help.

So, they were stopped in front of the coffee shop, and the girl said politely: "Excuse me, two guests, please follow me to the front desk to register first."

Liu Wangxue explained: "We are not checking in, we are just waiting for someone here."

The girl had a professional smile on her face: "I'm sorry, guest, our hotel has a rule that anyone bringing a pet in must register at the front desk."

"Okay." Liu Wangxue handed the leash to Xu Qingsong and followed the little girl to the front desk. Pengpeng was unwilling to stay where he was and followed Liu Wangxue. Xu Qingsong had no choice but to follow by pulling the leash.

After completing the registration, Liu Wangxue took the leash again and took Pengpeng and Xu Qingsong into the coffee shop.

Liu Wangxue asked: "After meeting your friends, do you have anything else to do?"

Xu Qingsong shook his head: "Probably not."

Liu Wangxue asked him, "Wenxi and I are going to the flower and bird market later. There is a film crew shooting there. She signed a contract with me today and she wants to take me to see it. If you are free, do you want to go with us?"

"Okay, I haven't seen what the crew is like yet." Xu Qingsong readily agreed, and then said sadly, "I forgot to close the window when I went to bed last night, and a wild cat from somewhere came and grabbed my fish. I just happened to buy a few by the way."

Liu Wangxue expressed sympathy.

After ordering coffee at the counter, Xu Qingsong chose a seat by the window. Just as he was about to help Liu Wangxue pull out a chair, Liu Wangxue smiled and said, "I won't disturb you from meeting your friends. I'll go over there."

Without waiting for Xu Qingsong to react, he took Pengpeng to a seat farther away.

Xu Qingsong had no choice but to sit down and send a message to Du Yunkai: [I'm here, in the lobby cafe]

After a long while, Du Yunkai replied: [Coming soon]

Not long after, Du Yunkai appeared with a girl wearing sunglasses and a mask. A black nanny car drove to the lobby door. He first sent the girl to the car, said a few words, and then walked towards Xu Qingsong.

Du Yunkai and Xu Qingsong were roommates and classmates in college. After graduating from college, Du Yunkai went abroad to study and received an offer from an internationally renowned game company. Xu Qingsong was admitted to graduate school at his own school and joined a domestic game company, Lumin Technology, where he later became a department manager and became well-known.

After Du Yunkai became a manager, he felt that the company's philosophy was increasingly leaning towards extreme political correctness, which was also caused by the general environment, and he was unable to refute it. Coincidentally, his family also began to urge him to get married, so he returned to China.

However, he himself was against arranged marriage, so he made a bet with his family on the grounds of career, that he would produce a game with revenue of over 100 million within two years, otherwise he would accept the arrangement.

Du Yunkai asked a few of his friends who had money but nowhere to spend it to invest, and then recruited a few more people to set up a studio. He also found a good script that no one was interested in on a certain drama platform.

At that time, Lumin Technology's performance declined, and internal factional struggles continued. Xu Qingsong, the department manager, was left out in the cold, and many headhunters came to him one after another. But when he received the olive branch from Du Yunkai, he refused because he had signed a non-compete agreement.

Du Yunkai was not short of money, so he said, "As long as you come, I will pay for the liquidated damages."

Before Xu Qingsong made a decision, Lumin Technology was acquired. He was the first to be laid off in the personnel adjustment.

Everyone under him was in disbelief.

"I originally thought that with Manager Xu's ability, he could at least move up one level."

"That's right. If not promoted, at least transferred to the same position. How could he be laid off? What do the higher-ups think?"

After coming out of the HR department, Xu Qingsong was called to the office by his master, who handed him a document bag. He opened it and saw that it was the non-compete agreement he had signed.

His master said with embarrassment: "I don't have the ability, I can only help you up to this point. Go out and find another company. With your ability, you will have no worries about finding a job."

However, the headhunters who had previously approached him seemed to have disappeared.

When Du Yunkai went to find him again, he realized that there was a reason why he was fired.

Du Yunkai said: "I found out that it was acquired by the Xu family. Do you know who the CEO who was parachuted in?"

"who?"

"It's that jerk Xu Han!" Du Yunkai laughed, "He went to a fake university abroad and thought he was a gold nugget! He messed up his small company and now he's trying to bully a big company."

Xu Han is a descendant of the second branch of the Xu family. He is of the same generation as Xu Qingsong, but a few months younger. Logically, he should call Xu Qingsong "cousin".

Xu Han, Xu Qingsong and Du Yunkai were in the same school, major and class as each other in college, but he was admitted because of the expanded enrollment.

Xu Han took notice of Xu Qingsong the first time he saw him, because he thought this person looked very similar to the photo of his great-great-grandfather hanging in the living room of his home, and for a time he thought he was the illegitimate son of someone in the Xu family. After going back to check, he found out about the past connection.

As the youngest son, Xu Han was spoiled since childhood. He couldn't compare with Xu Qingsong in academics, so he wanted to crush him in other aspects, but Xu Qingsong didn't take it seriously at all. During the four years of college, he was always in a state of jumping around, getting angry and embarrassed, but unable to do anything.

After returning from studying abroad, his family gave him a small company to practice. He didn't achieve any results, but got into a lot of trouble. He accidentally learned that Xu Qingsong was working at Luminance Technology, and his father was planning to acquire it. Xu Han almost threw a tantrum and persuaded his father to take over the CEO position.

Afterwards, Xu Qingsong went to Du Yunkai, who directly gave him some technical shares. Chapter 28 Transformation

It took a total of 21 months from the establishment of the project to the completion of the internal test of "The 21st Case of Dazhao". Coincidentally, it became a big hit as soon as it was released, setting off a trend of solving cases among the people. Du Yunkai also fulfilled the bet with his family and started dating freely.

"Who is it?" Xu Qingsong raised his chin towards the lobby door. "Why does it feel like it's not the same person as last time?"

Du Yunkai ordered breakfast, handed the menu back to the waiter, and said, "A popular traffic star recently, she's pretty."

"Resource exchange?"

"How could she be so dirty?" Du Yunkai pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, pretending to be a gentleman, with a slight smile on his face. "She simply fell for my suit pants."

Xu Qingsong had nothing to say and gave him a thumbs up.

The waiter brought breakfast to the table. Du Yunkai ate while asking, "How have you been recently? Have you had enough rest? Is it time to go back to work?"

"Let me give you a suggestion," Xu Qingsong took a sip of coffee.

"What suggestions?"

"Why don't you go and experience rural life?" Xu Qingsong said sincerely. "I guarantee that you won't miss work again after you go there."

"No way," Du Yunkai found it hard to accept, "You've been resting for almost half a year, isn't that enough?"

Xu Qingsong felt that it was not enough: "I have to thank Mr. Du for giving me the technology shares. This money is enough for me to live a lifetime."

In fact, during the period of constant factional struggles within Lumin Technology, Xu Qingsong wanted to resign and return to Qiushui Town. He chose the gaming industry because of his passion, but the workplace is not a place where passion alone is enough.

Thanks to that period of being on the bench, he had time to look back on the road he had traveled over the years - he had lost his original intention and was left with only fatigue.

Faced with being laid off, he actually felt nothing at all. It just so happened that he thought he needed some time to find his former self.

The reason why he agreed to Du Yunkai later was because they were good brothers, and when his brother was in trouble, he certainly had no choice but to help. So, after "The Twenty-one Cases of Dazhao" was put on the shelves and everything was stable, he immediately returned to Qiushui Town.

Du Yunkai suddenly changed the subject and asked Xu Qingsong: "Are you really willing to accept this?"

When they were in college, Xu Han was always provocative and sometimes did some outrageous things. Although Du Yunkai looked down on his childish behavior, he also learned about the relationship between Xu Qingsong and the Xu family.

He never understood why Xu Qingsong turned a blind eye to something that was clearly his share. Du Yunkai thought that if it were him, he would not only not tolerate Xu Han's mischief, but would definitely fight back and take back what he deserved.

But Xu Qingsong was calm. Du Yunkai thought that he might not have the capital to start a war, so he chose to endure it.

"What?" Xu Qingsong was confused by Du Yunkai's sudden change of subject.

"I'm talking about the Xu family." Du Yunkai finished eating, wiped his mouth, and said, "You should have a share of the Xu family's assets. In the past, you didn't have the capital to go back and fight for it, but it's different now."

Du Yunkai got angry when he saw Xu Qingsong smiling without saying anything. He thought that Xu Qingsong was such a smart man, how could he be so confused about something like this?

He wanted to tear it apart and tell Xu Qingsong the whole story: "Although the Xu family has a great reputation in recent years, it has actually been on a downward trend. It is not easy to run a physical business now. The Xu family has been forced to cut off many subsidiaries, and its assets are also shrinking.

Not only did they acquire Lumina Technology, they also invested in Shenghai Entertainment to pave the way for transformation. If Xu Han wasn't a professional match, do you think he could have become CEO? I think the Xu family is really going to run out of luck, supporting such a fool to take the position.

You have some assets now, and with your buddies backing you up, I don't believe you can't tear a piece of his flesh off."

Xu Qingsong listened to Du Yunkai patiently. He knew that the other party was thinking about him, but he really had no idea: "Thanks, brother. However, the Xu family is something my great grandfather didn't want. My grandfather didn't think about it, my father didn't think about it, and I won't think about it either. Whether they live or die has nothing to do with my family."

Du Yunkai stared at Xu Qingsong for a long time and asked, "Really?"

Xu Qingsong nodded.

Du Yunkai was convinced. This time he was really sure that Xu Qingsong just didn't want it. He jokingly said, "Okay, you are from a family of scholars, but you are so noble that you regard money as dirt."

"Tell me," Xu Qingsong pointed at the table, "What exactly do you want to talk to me about?"

"Of course I'm here to ask you to go back to work!" Du Yunkai said, "You haven't paid any attention to the industry in the past six months, have you?"

"What's wrong?"

Du Yunkai said proudly, "Our Twenty-One Case is very popular. Many companies have taken a fancy to it and have released concept PVs one after another, all of which are expected to be put on the shelves in the second half of the year. It is a miracle that our popularity has been maintained for so long. If I hadn't had people keep an eye on the various platforms and delete any posts that post clearance analysis, the discussion would not have been so high.

But we can't keep watching like this. Once other companies put their products on the shelves, as long as the quality is slightly better, they will take away our traffic. So I plan to take advantage of this last period of time to let go of this part, and make the transition after earning this last wave of popularity."

"Transformation? You want to do PC side?" Xu Qingsong asked.

"Correct!" Du Yunkai said, "Other companies are planning to copy us, so we don't need to be afraid. But that little chicken Xu Han actually wants to replace us with a PC game. Although I look down on him, I can't stand it. In addition, do you still remember Mu Jingsheng from the Mu family?"

Xu Qingsong looked at Du Yunkai jokingly: "Remember, the kid from another family that your parents talked about? You couldn't escape the shadow of that kid until you went to college."

Du Yunkai got angry when he thought about this: "He is in power now, and he has recently taken a fancy to the traffic of ancient style games. He has bought a lot of IPs, established branches, and is also planning to develop PC games."

"So you want to challenge him?" Xu Qingsong asked.

"I've never lost in professional matters!" Du Yunkai said, looking at Xu Qingsong, "Except you, of course. So, as a shareholder, you have an obligation to participate in the company's development planning."

"Let me think about it." Xu Qingsong said.

Du Yunkai was relieved because Xu Qingsong said "think about it" instead of "consider". "Consider" means thinking about whether to participate in this project, while "think about it" means that you have decided to participate, but you still need to make further plans.

Sure enough, Xu Qingsong asked next: "Are you planning to use IP or an original script?"

Du Yunkai said: "The popular IPs have been monopolized by Mu Jingsheng, and those with small traffic are not interesting. So I still want to use original works, but I haven't found a suitable screenwriter yet. It would be great if I could come across a script like "The Twenty-One Case" again."

Xu Qingsong suddenly had an idea when he heard it, and asked, "When will the copyright authorization for the 21st case expire?"

Du Yunkai said: "About two and a half years."

Xu Qingsong shook his head: "No, the time is too short. I said you are a very smart businessman, why didn't you just buy it out?"

"Well," Du Yunkai changed his posture and said, "I just felt a little compassionate." Chapter 29 Magical Changes

Du Yunkai accidentally searched for "The 21st Case of Dazhao" and decided to buy it immediately after reading it. But strangely, the website did not sign a contract for such a good script. So he contacted the author with the pen name "Ruxi" through a private message on the website, and learned about his frustration during the chat.

Du Yunkai thought about it and felt that the life cycle of crime-solving and mystery-solving games was also short, so he only bought the game adaptation rights for 5 years. He thought that he would definitely make this game popular, and after it became popular, the author might be able to sell other copyrights and not have to change careers and leave the profession he loved.

"I admire her very much," Du Yunkai said, with a tone of regret. "It's obvious that a lot of effort and thought went into the script of Case 21. Do you still remember the biographies of the characters in the script? I even asked someone in the industry about it. There are very few people who are so serious about writing."

Xu Qingsong certainly remembers that he was amazed when he read the script, and when he saw such a thick stack of character biographies, he was filled with admiration. Without these character biographies, their game would not be so detailed.

Du Yunkai went on to say: "So when I was looking for a screenwriter recently, she was the first person I thought of."

Xu Qingsong knew it as soon as he saw Du Yunkai's expression: "But can't contact anyone?"

Speaking of this, Du Yunkai found it incredible: "I tell you, I don't know what happened to this person. He just published this script on a certain drama and disappeared from the scene. He didn't sell other adaptation rights of the script, nor did he sign a contract with the platform. He didn't reply to private messages or emails. I can't find him now."

"Didn't you leave a phone number?"

"I didn't leave it. She didn't give it to me. All we have to do in contact is private messages and emails on the platform."

"That's a difficult thing to do." Xu Qingsong said, "You just said to make use of the last wave of popularity, but I actually have another idea."

Du Yunkai pretended to listen attentively.

Xu Qingsong said: "We can take advantage of the popularity and make a PC game for this IP. The content of this script itself has many areas that can be developed. For example, if we still use the 21st case as the main line, then places other than the place where the 21st case took place can be slowly developed as copies.

In addition, there are countries around Dazhao, and Lantian is a very good dungeon map. In addition, in addition to adding the necessary combat system, you can also add the scholar-farmer-businessman system, which is simply the imperial examination, farming, handicrafts and business, and even the diplomatic system. "

Without Xu Qingsong explaining it in detail, Du Yunkai could understand and imagine it. He thought this plan would work: "Then we must find Ruxi. She has to do the adaptation. She is the one who is most familiar with this script."

Xu Qingsong agreed: "But we also need to prepare alternative plans. Time is tight. If we really can't contact anyone, we can make timely adjustments."

Du Yunkai nodded.

The two then further discussed how to finish the stand-alone game of "The Twenty-one Cases of Da Zhao" and the specific plan to adapt it into a PC game.

After finishing the business, Du Yunkai resumed his dandy tone and motioned Xu Qingsong to look at the corner on the right, where only Liu Wangxue was.

Du Yunkai took off his plain glasses, wiped them, put them back on, and said admiringly: "I noticed it as soon as I came in. People with this kind of looks are rare in the entertainment industry. Wait for me, I'll go and talk to him." It's just that the dog next to him is too ugly. Look at the way its hair is cut. It's really uncomfortable to look at.

Xu Qingsong immediately stopped the man and said, "Put away your magical power. It will be a good thing for you."

How could Xu Qingsong not know what kind of person Du Yunkai was? Since college, he had always relied on novelty to fall in love. Once the novelty disappeared, he would immediately change people. Those who had dated him could only break up with money. If they didn't want to break up and wanted to make a scene, that was fine, but the result was that they got nothing, and lost both their money and their love.

Du Yunkai was not annoyed when he was stopped. He looked at Xu Qingsong with a smile and asked, "Why, you like it? Okay, since you have been single for so many years, I will give it to you as a brother."

Seeing Xu Qingsong sitting still, he began to urge him: "Go ahead! It's just a matter of contact information, how simple!"

As they were talking, Wenxi came over, followed by Xiao Zhao. Seeing Xu Qingsong still talking to his friend, she nodded and went to Liu Wangxue.

When Du Yunkai first saw Wenxi, his eyes almost popped out. Isn't this the dream goddess tailor-made for him? Her facial features are three-dimensional, with an exotic style, yet still oriental charm. Especially her figure, how can it be so hot!
Xu Qingsong also nodded in response to Wenxi.

Du Yunkai came to his senses when he saw Wenxi sitting in front of Liu Wangxue. He kicked Xu Qingsong under the table and said, "Are we still brothers?"

"What?" Xu Qingsong bent down and patted his trouser legs.

"When did you meet?" Du Yunkai raised his chin slightly towards her, "You knew I liked someone like this, but you didn't introduce her to me."

Xu Qingsong almost rolled his eyes. He really didn't understand what Du Yunkai, an impulsive lower body animal who liked every girl he met, was pursuing.
"What's that look in your eyes? Take it back." Du Yunkai was dissatisfied. "I'm not a piece of trash like Mu Jingsheng. It's fine if I just play around. I heard that he got her pregnant and didn't acknowledge her. He forced the girl to have an abortion. But he turned around and arranged a marriage with the Ling family."

Xu Qingsong sneered: "I now feel more and more that my great grandfather's decision to leave the Xu family and start his own business was the right one. Your circle of wealthy families is really dirty."

"There are even dirtier ones, do you want to hear them?"

"Stop!"

"No, no, I have to break up quickly." Du Yunkai couldn't wait any longer and said, "You have to accompany me to the crew right now and be a witness for me."

Xu Qingsong didn't want to pay attention to him, so he waved to the waiter and ordered a cold drink to cool down.

Over there, Liu Wangxue started searching for content related to the crew on his phone as soon as he sat down, and the more he looked, the gloomier he felt.

She regretted why she didn't get to know the company and the production team when she sold the copyright. Why didn't she add a restriction such as no "magic changes" in the authorization contract?

She sighed in her heart again: "Love-brain is killing people!" Once they fall in love, they don't care about anything else.

In the previous life, this story was written by Liu Wangxue when she was in love with Mu Jingsheng.

At that time, Wenxi's studio, "Chunjian", was fortunate enough to participate in a TV show and became a little famous. She struck while the iron was hot and wrote a story about the heroine of this Hanfu designer and promoted it in the live broadcast room.

At that time, some fans asked whether the designer created the character based on Wenxi.

Later, a series of events happened and the drama was boycotted before it even started filming and was aborted.

Liu Wangxue looked at the leaked photos of the main creative team and some of the behind-the-scenes footage that were released to create hype, and could only constantly comfort herself, repeating to herself three times, "At least the filming started smoothly."

Then I turned off the screen, put down my phone, drank the coffee in the cup in one breath, picked up a magazine, read it while petting the dog - stay away from this terrible and vicious thing. Chapter 30 Cute

Pengpeng has been lying obediently at her feet since entering the cafe.

"You are still the cutest." Liu Wangxue scratched its chin.

When it came to the third magazine, Wenxi came down with Xiao Zhao.

A contract was placed in front of Liu Wangxue - an investment and shareholding agreement.

Wenxi looked at her with a smile and said, "Look, if there is no problem, then sign it."

Xiao Zhao also sat down, pushed his glasses, and said, "If you have any questions, you can ask me."

Liu Wangxue picked up the pen, turned directly to the last page, signed, and handed it to Wenxi.

"Please at least take a look!" Wenxi said.

"Why?" Liu Wangxue spun a pen with one hand and supported her chin with the other. "Are you not optimistic about our friendship, or are you not optimistic about my trust in you?"

"Okay! I admire you." Wenxi signed another one and exchanged it with her.

Over there, Xu Qingsong was annoyed by Du Yunkai. He turned around and saw Liu Wangxue and Wenxi putting away some documents, so he had no choice but to walk over despite his constant urging.

Du Yunkai followed Xu Qingsong and whispered, "Why am I suddenly a little nervous?" No, it's abnormal, too abnormal.

Xu Qingsong ignored him, walked to the side close to Liu Wangxue, and said with a little embarrassment: "Well, let me introduce you, this is my friend, Du Yunkai."

Du Yunkai signaled him with his eyes: "Is that all you have to do after introducing the names? Why don't you say a few more words!" He was dissatisfied, very dissatisfied.

Xu Qingsong pretended not to understand, and immediately changed his expression when he faced Du Yunkai, with a hint of warning in his eyes: "This is Liu Wangxue, this is Wenxi."

The only one left was Xiao Zhao, whom he didn't know.

However, Xiao Zhao was very tactful. He stood up with his bag and prepared to leave: "I'm not important. You guys sit down and chat." Then he sat down at the next table.

Wenxi smiled and said, "My studio's legal officer, Zhao Heng."

Zhao Heng smiled and waved.

Xu Qingsong nodded slightly apologetically as a greeting.

Du Yunkai's eyes were almost glued to Wenxi's face. He tried his best to restrain himself and nodded to Xiao Zhao.

"Please sit down." Liu Wangxue seemed to understand the argument between the two of them, and after saying that, she looked at Wenxi with a smile.

Wenxi curled her lips slightly while lowering her head to drink water.

Du Yunkai immediately sat next to Wenxi, and Xu Qingsong sat next to Liu Wangxue.

Liu Wangxue asked Xu Qingsong: "Is this your boss?" She thought to herself, thanking him for giving her script a chance to be published.

Du Yunkai tried to ease the tension in his heart by chatting him up, and said with a smile: "He mentioned me to you? What did he say?"

Wenxi put down the cup and continued in a flat tone, "We are both friends and bosses, and we can even meet at a hotel."

Liu Wangxue couldn't help but smiled with her head down.

Du Yunkai used the table to block the view and made a gesture that H country men hate the most to Xu Qingsong from the side. He coughed twice and said with a smile, "Don't listen to his nonsense. We were roommates in college. I came back to start a business a few years ago and asked him to be my partner."

Xu Qingsong responded with the same gesture without hesitation, then cut off the topic without giving him a chance to open the screen: "Have you finished your work?"

The question was asked to Liu Wangxue and Wenxi, and they both nodded.

"Shall we go then?" Xu Qingsong asked.

"Where are you going?" Wenxi asked him.

Liu Wangxue explained: "He went to the flower and bird market. The fish he raised were stolen by wild cats, so he just happened to stop by to buy a few more."

Wenxi found it incredible: "Things in the house and the fish tank could be stolen?"

Xu Qingsong regretted not checking the window again before going to bed: "The fish tank is shallow and there is no cover, so I plan to replace the fish tank as well."

Du Yunkai mocked him with his mouth silently: "You deserve it!"

Xu Qingsong ignored it.

Then they walked towards the elevator together, ready to go to the underground parking lot.

Wenxi lagged behind a few steps and gave Xiao Zhao some instructions.

Liu Wangxue was waiting for her while holding Pengpeng's hand. When she saw that Xiao Zhao didn't follow her, she asked a question.

Wenxi said to her as they walked, "There's nothing to do here, so I asked him to go back to Hai City first. It's also busy over there, so he has to go back and keep an eye on it."

After entering the elevator, the air suddenly became quiet, as if an unknown awkwardness was surging.

Du Yunkai seemed to be making small talk. He looked at Peng Peng and asked Liu Wangxue, "Which shop did you get your golden retriever groomed? Why is its fur sometimes long and sometimes short? Is this a new fashion trend?"

Pengpeng seemed to understand and barked at him twice.

Liu Wangxue patted its head to comfort it. She thought it was really cute and said to Du Yunkai with a smile, "Don't say that to it. It will understand and will be unhappy."

As they were talking, the elevator reached the basement level. Du Yunkai reached out his hand, pressed the "HOLD" button, and asked, "Do you understand? Have you become a spirit?"

Several people walked out one by one. Xu Qingsong said, "It's almost a spirit." Then he took out his mobile phone and showed him the video recorded in the morning.

Du Yunkai was simply astonished.

Wenxi also became curious and leaned over to take a look: "Oh my God, Xuxu, what kind of adorable little thing did you raise!"

Du Yunkai secretly glanced at Wenxi. She had a cool appearance and a lively heart. What a contrast. She was so adorable.

Liu Wangxue bent down and rubbed Pengpeng's face, saying gently: "Did you hear that? You are an extremely cute little girl. The hair on your body will grow out after a while, it's okay."

Pengpeng licked Liu Wangxue's hand and rubbed her.

Xu Qingsong looked at her interaction with the dog and raised the corners of his mouth unconsciously.

Du Yunkai came here by plane without an assistant, and there was no car here, so he thought of taking Xu Qingsong's ride.

But when he walked to the second-hand Chery SUV, Du Yunkai once again showed an expression of disbelief. In his entire life, since he was born, he had never ridden in such a shabby car!

He almost said something out loud, thinking, I gave you shares and a salary, what did you do with all that money? Can't you even afford a nice car?
Then he was stopped by Xu Qingsong's eyes, and then he saw Liu Wangxue took out the key, pressed the unlock button, and smiled awkwardly while stroking her hair.

Xu Qingsong said to Liu Wangxue, "Let me drive, you and Wenxi can sit in the back with Pengpeng."

"Okay." Liu Wangxue gave him the key.

This hotel is on the way to the flower and bird market and is very close to it, only less than ten minutes' drive away.

The entire flower and bird market covers a large area. Liu Wangxue looked at the flow of people and cars outside the car window and said, "Is this flower and bird market so crowded?"

Wenxi was not surprised: "It should be because of the crew. The lead actress is a new rising star. What's her name? He Yan? She has quite a lot of traffic."

Liu Wangxue nodded. She already knew this star from Reuters and behind-the-scenes footage. She felt his acting skills were hard to describe and she would not comment.

Xu Qingsong drove around for almost half a circle and finally saw an area with a few empty parking spaces. He turned the steering wheel and drove there.

Before I even turned the corner, I was stopped by a man in security uniform: "You can't stop here, go somewhere else."

(End of this chapter) Chapter 31 The Crew

Xu Qingsong was puzzled and asked, "Why?"

The security guard said, "This area has been taken away by the crew. Only the crew's cars can be parked there."

Wenxi, who was playing with a toy in the back seat, heard it, lowered the window, and said, "We are going to the crew. We have already said hello to their producer."

The security guard held out a small notebook and said, "No, your car is not registered with me, so you can't park it."

Wenxi took out his cell phone: "Ha, wait, I'll call them. I can find a parking space somewhere else, why should I waste my time talking to you here? Is the parking lot opened by his crew?"

As they were talking, a black nanny car drove in, brushing past their car.

Then Liu Wangxue saw a car about to drive out not far away. She pointed and said, "Forget it. I see there's a vacant car over there. Let's park there."

Xu Qingsong turned the steering wheel and drove towards the direction Liu Wangxue pointed.

Before Wenxi could finish her call, Cheng Cheng, the producer's assistant, called her: "Sister Wenxi, where are you? Producer Wang said you were going to bring your friends to the crew, so he asked me to pick them up."

Wenxi wanted to scold the assistant and ask her how she could do things without considering the parking space. But then she thought, she is not her assistant, so forget it. So she took a deep breath and said, "I'm already at the parking lot, looking for a parking space."

Cheng Cheng said, "Sister Wenxi, which parking lot are you in? I'll pick you up."

Wenxi didn't pay attention to which area, so she said, "Next to the area your crew marked out."

Cheng Cheng said, "That's great, Sister Wenxi. I'll be waiting for you at the entrance over there."

Not long after hanging up the phone, Cheng Cheng saw two men and two women walking towards the entrance from a distance. She stared at them. She had seen Sister Wenxi before and was already amazed. The other three, my God, they were not here to visit. They were so good-looking and had such good figures that they turned the cement road into a red carpet.

It's just that the dog that the beautiful woman is holding is a bit of a downer. Why is it so ugly? Was its bumpy fur cut by someone?

Cheng Cheng complained about the dog in his heart and hurried to meet him. When he walked in, he felt that Liu Wangxue looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her, so he took a few more glances.

Liu Wangxue saw her staring at him and asked, "What's wrong?"

Cheng Cheng looked embarrassed: "You look familiar, have you seen me somewhere?"

Liu Wangxue smiled and said nothing.

Wenxi didn't explain either. She knew that Liu Wangxue did it on purpose to separate work and life.

Every time she broadcasts live, other people use filters to beautify themselves, but she uses filters to "uglify" herself. Such a natural beauty who is memorable has turned herself into a cookie-cutter Korean-style plastic surgery face.

To be honest, if you are not a five-year old fan like Tao Huayu, it would be really hard to recognize him at first glance.

Cheng Cheng led the four people inside. After the costume designer of the crew learned that Wenxi had arrived, he came over and invited them to go to the costume department first.

The costumes of the costume group are all daily-style Hanfu. After the cooperation intention was established, Wenxi sent them to the crew at their request. Unexpectedly, the director liked them right away and used them for the first few scenes with Hanfu.

The story about the Hanfu designer that Liu Wangxue wrote for Wenxi is called "The Moon Rises over Spring Stream", which carries the name of Wenxi Studio and is also from Wang Wei's poem "The moon rises and startles the mountain birds, which sometimes sing in the spring stream."

The early part of the story mainly tells that the heroine, who was born in a small town, went to work in her cousin's flower shop in the city after failing the college entrance examination. After seeing several young girls wearing Hanfu buying flowers, she fell in love with Hanfu uncontrollably.

At first, she saved money to buy it, and then she suddenly had the idea to try to make it herself. During the process of making it, she realized the lack of professional knowledge, so she wanted to go back to school and take the college entrance examination to study fashion design. But her family did not support her to repeat the year, thinking that it was more important for her to work hard and earn money instead of wasting time learning useless things.

The heroine would not easily give up on the things she liked, so she began to save money by living frugally, enrolled in a technical school alone, and started her journey of studying fashion design while working.

The flower shop of the heroine's cousin is in the flower and bird market, so the main scenes in the early stage are mostly set in the flower and bird market.

The four of them came out of the costume department just as the director team was preparing to start filming the next scene. None of them had ever seen what filming was like, so after getting permission, they stood a little further away and watched.

Even when the director said "get ready", there was still a buzz of conversation all around.

Du Yunkai asked directly: "It's so noisy around here, won't it affect the radio?"

Cheng Cheng explained: "It's okay, we are doing the dubbing in post-production."

Several people nodded and focused their attention back on the actor.

This scene was shot when the heroine was returning from delivering flowers to a client. She passed by a locked flower shop and saw a blue-gold tabby cat with its claws stuck in the gap of the gutter cover. The heroine went to the shop next door to borrow tools, rescued the cat, and brought it back to her cousin's flower shop. Then, the hero came over and said the cat was his, and thanked the heroine for treating her to dinner.

He Yan, who plays the female lead, is the one who was sent to the nanny car by Du Yunkai in the morning.

Du Yunkai was also watching her acting for the first time, and like the other three, he was a little confused. But it didn't matter, he didn't take it seriously from the beginning, so it didn't matter.

While Cheng Cheng was called away, Du Yunkai whispered, "The gap in the manhole cover is quite big. How could a cat's claw get stuck in it? And even if it really got stuck in, there are so many people coming and going around. Why did they turn a blind eye? Are they just waiting for the heroine to come?"

Xu Qingsong was also puzzled: "Normally, if you rescue a cat, shouldn't you ask around to see if anyone knows who the cat belongs to? She just took it away without saying a word."

Liu Wangxue spoke with difficulty: "I remember that there was no such part in the original story. Moreover, the male protagonist only appeared in the later stage of the story." This story is based on inspiration and the promotion of Hanfu, not on love!
"Well," Wenxi said, "Isn't it like this in all dramas nowadays? Nothing is more important than the love between the male and female protagonists. The male protagonist only appears so late, how can the drama producers spread the sweetness? How can the audience be happy? So if there are no conditions, we should create conditions to let the male and female protagonists meet, know each other and fall in love as soon as possible."

Peng Peng also barked twice. Liu Wangxue thought it was so cute and asked with a smile: "Did you understand it again?"

As a few people were complaining, the director asked them to prepare for the next scene, which was to film the interaction between the heroine, the hero and the cat.

(End of this chapter) Chapter 32 Methods

He Yan, who was touching up her makeup, showed a dissatisfied look and complained to her makeup artist: "It's so annoying. I shouldn't have added this scene earlier. I'm covered in cat hair!"

After saying that, he looked at the assistant and said, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and get something to glue it off for me!"

The assistant quickly took the lint remover and cleaned He Yan's clothes and pants.

He Yan was still dissatisfied: "If I wasn't afraid of being exposed in the next scene, I really want to change this outfit. Things that shed hair are the most annoying!"

After touching up her makeup and dealing with the cat hair, He Yan sprayed herself with perfume several times. Only when she smelled her favorite scent did she feel a little better.

The director called her, and she walked towards the flower shop used for filming. The male lead was already waiting with the cat in his arms, and when he saw her coming, he handed the cat over.

This cat is not raised by the crew. Because He Yan had to add a scene yesterday, she temporarily rented it from a pet shop here and specially chose a docile and well-behaved one.

When the male lead handed the cat to He Yan, the cat suddenly meowed and started struggling. He Yan didn't catch it firmly and it fell to the ground, then ran out of the flower shop quickly.

A young man standing at the door of the flower shop glared at He Yan, then immediately ran over after the cat with an anxious look on his face.

Then He Yan cried out, "Ouch! My hand!" The cat scratched it, leaving three red marks.

The crew was in chaos in an instant, with some helping He Yan deal with her "wounds" and some looking for the cat. There was a lot of noise. As the crowds grew, the male lead was pushed aside, and he turned around, rolled his eyes cryptically, and left.

The four people who were watching the show not far away were simply amazed.

Suddenly, Pengpeng barked a few times, spread its legs and rushed out. Because it was usually so well-behaved, Liu Wangxue held the leash loosely in her hand, and was caught off guard at this moment and failed to hold it.

She was startled and quickly chased after him.

Xu Qingsong and the other three hurriedly chased after him, but when they reached the corner of the alley, they could no longer see Peng Peng.

Liu Wangxue was very worried. This flower and bird market was so big and there were so many alleys. How could she find it?

Xu Qingsong comforted her: "It's okay, don't worry. It's so smart, there must be a reason why it ran away. Maybe it will come back on its own in a while."

Du Yunkai said to Wenxi, "How about this, you guys wait here, Qingsong and I will go look for it separately."

Wenxi said, "I'm going too. Xuxu, you wait here. If Pengpeng comes back, I'll be able to find you."

Du Yunkai looked at the stiletto heels Wenxi was wearing and said, "Don't go there either. The roads here are all paved with tiles and are uneven. Be careful not to sprain your ankle."

Xu Qingsong and Du Yunkai went to look for her separately, and Wenxi was kept by Liu Wangxue.

Liu Wangxue was anxious and suddenly thought: "Is there a radio here? Let's find a radio to broadcast the news so that anyone who sees it can contact me in time."

Wenxi was also here for the first time, so she said, "I'll call Cheng Cheng and ask."

Before the call was made, Pengpeng came back with a cat on his back. It seemed to be the blue and gold tabby cat used in the filming.

It walked up to Liu Wangxue and said, "Woof woof!"

Liu Wangxue handed her phone to Wenxi: "Please call Xu Qingsong for me and ask them to come back quickly."

"good."

Pengpeng called twice again. Liu Wangxue squatted down and asked it, "Did you run out to look for the cat? Don't do that next time. I'll be worried."

Pengpeng turned the cat around, and Liu Wangxue saw that the cat's left hind paw was bleeding. She immediately took the cat off Pengpeng's back and held it carefully in her arms, avoiding the injured paw.

Wenxi hung up the phone and saw the injured cat paw. She felt distressed and asked, "What happened?"

"I'm not sure," Liu Wangxue said, "Help me hold Pengbang, let's go back to the crew and see if they have anything to treat its wound first."

The two of them took the two towards the crew.

The riot that just happened has subsided, and there are only a few people left on the set, and the director behind the monitor has disappeared.

Wenxi was just about to find someone to ask who was in charge of the crew's pets when a little girl came over.

The little girl was delighted when she saw them: "You found the cat? Great, give it to me!" When she reached out to take it, she saw the blood on the cat's paw and immediately changed her expression: "What's wrong with you? How did you hurt the cat? How can we continue filming now!"

"How do you talk like that?" Wenxi questioned her.

Liu Wangxue looked at the little girl in front of him and said seriously, "First, we didn't hurt the cat. It ran away and was found and brought back by my dog. Second, the most important thing now is to treat its wound first."

The little girl stared at Liu Wangxue's face for a while, then said proudly, "Then you wait here."

"How outrageous!" Wen Xi looked at the little girl's back, furious. "Who is she? Why does she talk to you like that?"

Liu Wangxue shook her head: "I don't know, I don't know him, but I have seen him."

A moment later, the little girl followed He Yan over, pointed at Liu Wangxue, and whispered, "That's her. I'm sure I didn't make a mistake."

He Yan followed the direction she pointed and the first person she saw was Wen Xi. That was almost certain, she thought.

Walking up to Liu Wangxue, He Yan looked her up and down for a while.

Just when Liu Wangxue and Wenxi were still wondering what she was going to do, He Yan spoke up, her tone full of sarcasm: "It's you! Look at the makeup you put on, your scheming is too obvious, no wonder you can seduce Mu Jingsheng and make him miss you so much."

Pengpeng is very sensitive to human emotions. It immediately sensed the hostility of the woman in front of it towards its owner and barked at her loudly.

Wenxi and Liu Wangxue were both stunned by her words and forgot to comfort Pengpeng.

"You have nothing to say after I hit your heart?" He Yan sneered, "Okay, give me the cat. Xiao Tan, take it away."

The little girl was Xiao Tan, He Yan's assistant. She immediately stepped forward and reached out to hug the cat.

Wenxi also stepped forward, stopped her and asked He Yan: "Excuse me? Who are you?" Wenxi of course knew who she was. She was asking about the relationship between He Yan and Mu Jingsheng.

He Yan exhaled and said, "Sister Wenxi."

Hearing the word "sister", Wenxi rubbed her arms unconsciously.

He Yan continued, "I know you are good friends, but have you ever thought that you are just blinded by her appearance? Sister Wenxi, I advise you not to have such a friend. It is better to break up with her as soon as possible and stop the loss in time, otherwise be careful that she will use her tricks and means on you in the future."

"Stop, stop!" Wenxi frowned, "No matter who you are, what do you want to say?"

Cat and Dog TheatreThe
cat with its paw stuck in the manhole cover (thinking): Why did they tie my hands here?

Peng Peng, who was standing with his owner, said: Is he injured? He is so pitiful. Fortunately, someone rescued him.

—The
cat is irritated by the smell of perfume (shouting): Ah! What is this smell? Is this woman going to kill me? Let me go! I'm suffocating! (Cat running )

Peng Peng: That person is so mean! He is so pitiful, I want to save him! The owner is very good, he will definitely be willing to take him home.

Chapter 33 Speechless

He Yan thought, if her agent hadn't repeatedly told her to build a good relationship with Wen Xi if she met her on the crew, she wouldn't bother to say anything.

I don't know where the agent heard the rumors. Porcelain is such a big brand, would it be interested in her small studio? If they really cooperated, the publicity materials would have been flying everywhere!
Liu Wangxue comforted Peng Peng, and his curiosity was aroused when he heard it, so he looked at He Yan.

He Yan thought she was really shameless. She was exposed in public, but she could still look calm and wait for the show. Sure enough, people who can get to the top are not only scheming and resourceful, but also have extraordinary acting skills. It's a pity for her not to enter the entertainment industry to act! But it's a good thing she didn't enter. With her unphotogenic appearance, it's better for her to be with a rich man to make money faster.

He Yan angrily said to Wen Xi: "I don't know what means she used to get pregnant with Mu Jingsheng's child, and after breaking up with Mu Jingsheng, she aborted it without hesitation."

Then he stared into Liu Wangxue's eyes and continued, "You just want to use this method to make Mu Jingsheng feel guilty about you so that you can rekindle your relationship, right? Ha, you are really cruel, and you succeeded. Sister Ling Ling has been disturbed by you forever! Are you satisfied?"

Xu Qingsong and Du Yunkai just came back and heard what He Yan said.

Xu Qingsong's eyes flashed with shock. The girl that Du Yunkai mentioned who was scumbaged by Mu Jingsheng was Liu Wangxue?!
He looked at Du Yunkai and asked with his eyes: Did you tell her?
Du Yunkai sternly said, "He Yan!"

When He Yan turned around and saw Du Yunkai, she immediately put on a sweet smile. She wanted to hug him, but was afraid of being photographed, so she could only take a step forward, keeping some distance, and said, "Yunkai, you're here! I was still filming when you sent me a message. I'm sorry I didn't reply to you in time."

Du Yunkai ignored her and said to Xu Qingsong, "It's not me." Then he looked at Wenxi and Liu Wangxue and said, "Wait for me."

He Yan immediately became alert, looking back and forth between them, wishing she could pull Du Yunkai behind her. She said, "Yunkai, go to my lounge. I have something to tell you."

"Let's go."

He Yan said, "This way." Then she followed happily, and did not forget to let Xiao Tan take the cat away.

Liu Wangxue seemed to have guessed why He Yan, whom she had never met before, was hostile to her, so she didn't want to meddle in other people's business and handed the cat to Xiao Tan.

When Xiao Qin's hand reached out, the cat seemed to be suddenly frightened, and began to flutter, scratching Liu Wangxue's clothes with its two front paws.

Liu Wangxue wore a small piece of beeswax around her neck, tied with a braided rope. Just now, it slipped out of her collar when she squatted down to hug the cat.

The cat climbed up and touched it. The next second, its two claws hooked the rope tightly, and its head was pressed against Liu Wangxue's neck, refusing to be taken away no matter what.

Liu Wangxue was so worried that the cat would fall down. But seeing its final posture, she could only helplessly avoid the wound and hold the cat's butt.

Xu Qingsong found it funny and thought, Oh, another spirit.

Wen Xi looked at Liu Wangxue's helpless face and laughed. He stroked his bumpy head and said, "Is this a scam? Right?"

Xiao Tan stamped his feet and said anxiously, "Hurry up and give it to me! We still have to shoot the movie after we treat the wound!"

Liu Wangxue pretended to push the cat forward, but the cat held on to the rope and refused to let go, even meowing twice like a spoiled child.

Liu Wangxue said, "You saw it too. Is it me who doesn't want to return it? Come, take it. If you can, take it away. It's up to you."

Xiao Tan thought, the rope wasn't stuck to the cat's paw, so how could she not be able to take it away? She just didn't want to give it to him on purpose. So she stretched out her hand and tried to force it.

Before her hand touched the cat, she was frightened by a fierce "meow" and shrank back. Even Pengpeng started to bark at her.

Liu Wangxue and Wenxi ignored Xiao Tan and comforted the two together.

Xu Qingsong asked Xiao Tan: "Does your crew have a special medicine box for pets? Please bring it over and we will take care of it ourselves."

The little girl Xiao Tan was always shy when talking to a handsome and mature man. She hesitated for a moment and said, "No, this cat is a temporary rental. I want to take it to the pet store for disposal."

"Let's go, take us to which pet shop." Xu Qingsong said.

Xiao Tan was a little embarrassed.

Liu Wangxue saw through it and said, "If it's inconvenient, just tell us the address and we'll go there ourselves."

In fact, the crew signed a rental agreement with the pet shop, which required that the cats not be injured, otherwise the owner had the right to terminate the agreement. Although the cats were not injured by them, they were responsible for the poor supervision during the rental period.

Xiao Tan said: "I can't decide, I have to go find the director first."

"Okay," Liu Wangxue was too lazy to argue with her, "Then we can go to another pet store, right? Is this convenient for you?"

"Okay then." Xiao Tan said and led them towards the pet shop area, specifically choosing an alley farther away from the cat rental store.

The pet shop was quite a distance away, and it took more than ten minutes to get there. The brick pavement was not suitable for high heels, and Wenxi almost sprained her ankle. Fortunately, Xu Qingsong was quick to help her.

Liu Wangxue chose a store that looked warmly decorated and walked in.

The shop owner looked to be in his forties, slightly overweight, and his smile made people like him easily. The moment he saw the cat, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, he looked at the people, and said nothing.

The cat still maintained the posture of sticking to Liu Wangxue with its front paws hooked on the rope and its head resting on the neck. The owner wanted to pick up the cat and treat its wound, but was scolded back.

He was wondering when he suddenly saw a young man running hurriedly from the door. He immediately chased after him and shouted, "Jia Lin, Jia Lin, come here."

Xiao Tan turned around and looked, and became nervous.

The young man named Jialin was the one who ran away after the cat in front of the flower shop. He couldn't find the cat and was anxious: "Uncle, let's talk later. I have to go find the cat."

The shop owner waved: "Come here and see if this is it."

Jialin walked in doubtfully, and knew at first glance that it was the cat in his shop.

He didn't know Liu Wangxue and the other two, but he knew Xiao Tan, the assistant of the female star. He asked angrily, "How did you get hurt? Who did it?"

After asking, he didn't care whether Xiao Tan answered or not, and reached out to hug the cat, but was scolded back.

Jialin became even angrier and pointed at Xiao Tan: "Let me ask you, what did that man and woman do to scare the cat like this during the filming? What did your crew say when they came to rent it? How did they sign the agreement? I'm telling you, I won't rent this cat anymore, and you must compensate me!"

Liu Wangxue was speechless. Could you please take care of the cat first? Could you please treat the wound first before talking about these unimportant things? The cat seemed to have a stress response and would not let anyone take over. Even Liu Wangxue would not let him change the position in which he held it in order to make it easier for the owner to clean its wounds and apply medicine.

In the end, he could only maintain this posture, and under Jialin's accusations, he asked the owner to trim the hair around the wound, disinfect it, and apply medicine.

The shop owner bandaged the wound and said, "It must have been scratched by something sharp. Fortunately, the wound is not deep and will heal in a few days."

Pengpeng rubbed against Liu Wangxue's leg and called to the cat. Liu Wangxue showed it the bandaged cat paw: "It's bandaged, it's okay."

Pengpeng stuck out his tongue and wanted to lick it, but was stopped by Liu Wangxue.

At the same time, Xu Qingsong received a message from Du Yunkai: [Where are the people? ]

Xu Qingsong sent him a location: [Checking the cat's wound]

Du Yunkai: [I'll come find you guys]

After Jialin finished accusing Xiao Tan, he took out his phone and called the person in charge of the props group. He told the whole thing in a rush and then demanded compensation:
"Anyway, my cat was scared by those two actors when you were filming, which caused it to run out and scratch its leg. The responsibility lies with your crew, you can't shirk it! So I won't rent this cat anymore, and your crew must give me the compensation I deserve!"

The person in charge of the props team did not have the authority to make this decision, so he took his phone and went to find the director first.

This phone call was like a spark that lit a fuse, completely detonating the barrel of explosives: "I'll compensate you! You can rent it or not, but I don't need your broken cat anymore! Listen to me, from today on, there will be no more scenes with your broken cat! Take it and get out of here as far as you can! From now on, no cats or dogs are allowed in the crew! Don't let me see a single hair! Beep-beep-"

The person in charge of the props team quickly snatched the phone back and hung up the call in panic.

The director continued to output. He felt that he was really unlucky to be tricked into taking this role.

Originally, it was a good workplace inspirational drama with a female lead, and the main theme was to promote Hanfu culture. But then one investor came to interfere, and then another investor came to interfere.

The script was changed by everyone, not only was it changed beyond recognition, but the leading actor also relied on his own popularity and the company behind him to bring his own screenwriter to write pages every day.

Yesterday, the female lead wanted to add a scene of saving a cat to highlight her kindness, but today, she inexplicably got angry and asked for it to be deleted. Is this deleting a scene? This is deleting the time and energy of everyone in the crew!

The female lead doesn't want a cat anymore, and the male lead wants a dog again. Dog, right? What a dog! He's late and leaves early, and he asks for leave when he wants to, and he doesn't come when he says he won't come. Do you really think he's a soft persimmon that's easy to squeeze? Okay
, crazy, right? Then let's go crazy together and see who can be crazier! No one can tell him how to shoot in the future! If you have the guts, replace him as the director!

Although Jialin did not play the sound externally, the director's roar still came out, and everyone in the quiet pet shop could hear it clearly.

Xu Qingsong sighed in his heart: "Tsk, what a beautiful mental state."

Xiao Tan ran out as if he had been pardoned and returned to the crew. Are you kidding me? The director has already spoken, why is she still staying there? Is she going to be a scapegoat?
Jia Lin stared at the screen of his mobile phone in a daze. He did not chase Xiao Tan when she ran away. After a while, he seemed to come to his senses and said, "I want to let it go, but there is no way. I will post it online and expose them!"

As he said this, he reached out to the cat in Liu Wangxue's arms, wanting to forcefully take the cat back.

The cat cried ferociously, kicking its hind paws in the air, and its two front paws hooked on the rope and refused to let go, causing Liu Wangxue's neck to tilt forward. No one knew where these short and thick little paws got so much strength.

Pengpeng jumped up in an instant, climbed on Jialin and called out to him. In an instant, there was a cacophony of "woof woof" and "meow meow" from those who wanted the cat, those who wanted to coax the dog, and those who wanted to persuade people.

Xu Qingsong took two steps forward and pinched the numb tendon on Jialin's arm, forcing him to let go.

The store became quiet only after the cat returned to Liu Wangxue's arms.

The few of them looked at each other, and Pengpeng stood in front of Liu Wangxue, staring at Jialin with a defensive posture.

Jialin said to Liu Wangxue, "Then, you help me remove the bandage, I'll take a picture, and then wrap it again."

Liu Wangxue and Wenxi said in unison: "You are not sick!" It is unbelievable how there can be such a person. Is he raising a pet? It must be a tool for profit.

Not to mention the two of them, even the shop owner and Xu Qingsong looked at them sideways.

"My cat is a purebred blue-gold cat with 12 colors. It has a top-quality appearance and has breeding rights. Its parents are even show-winning!" Jialin said, "What if the hair on the wound doesn't grow back and affects future sales? Wouldn't I lose a lot of money?"

"So, it's not your pet, but a commodity?" Liu Wangxue asked. If it is a commodity, then it would be easy to deal with.

"Why, you want to buy it?" Jialin rolled his eyes and looked at Liu Wangxue carefully. He felt that she was not short of money. "This cat is not cheap. Last time someone offered 10,000 yuan, I was reluctant to sell it."

Liu Wangxue smiled: "It looks like you are going to raise the price?"

Jialin pulled a stool over and sat down: "How can you raise the price? Blue gold is rare. If it were in Beijing or Hai City, thirty thousand would not be expensive."

There are many people in Wenxi's circle who keep cats. They all buy expensive ones, some cost tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands, so she knows a little bit about it. She said to Jialin, "That's enough. It's still 30,000. This cat should be worth 10,000 at most."

Xu Qingsong asked Liu Wangxue: "Do you really want to buy it?" and started searching on his phone.

What else could Liu Wangxue do? She changed her hand to hold the cat's butt: "When do you think it can get off me? Or, is there any way you can get it off?" Well, she came here to buy a cat anyway.

Jialin immediately said, "Then it's 20,000, not a cent less!"

At this time, Du Yunkai came over with his phone. He heard it as soon as he entered the door and asked, "What do you mean by 20,000?" He looked around and quickly understood the situation: "Buying a cat?"

Liu Wangxue nodded and said to Jialin, "I know a little bit about the market. You just said it's purebred, which means it has double bloodline and its bloodline can be checked within five generations. In addition, you also said its parents are competition grade, so please bring the relevant materials and certificates to me first. If everything is true, we can discuss the price."

Jialin immediately stood up and said, "Okay, the materials are all in my store, come with me."

The four of them followed Jialin and left the pet shop.

Du Yunkai looked at the cat, which was round and chubby everywhere and very cute, and wanted to hug it. He said to Liu Wangxue, "Let me hug you too."

Liu Wangxue smiled and said, "You try it."

Cat and Dog
Play: Just hold on to her tightly, and don't let go no matter who holds you! Got it?
Cat: Is that okay?

Peng Peng: You have to trust me. Only if you trust me can I take you home.

Cat: Okay then! (Hold on tightly, never let go, be fierce to anyone who touches ) Du Yunkai stretched out his hand and was unsurprisingly scolded: "What's going on? Aren't cats like this usually very gentle and obedient? Why does it have such a bad temper?" His mother also had one, but it was a long-haired cat with a lighter color than this one, and it especially liked to cling to people.

Wenxi held Pengpeng's hand and said, "It seems to be a stress reaction. He gets aggressive when anyone touches him."

"Is it true?" Du Yunkai didn't believe it.

Wenxi reached out his hand and was scolded.

Xu Qingsong also came over and pretended to reach out for a hug, but was still scolded.

Liu Wangxue slapped his hand away and gently stroked the cat twice: "Okay, don't mess with it."

While we were playing, we arrived at Jialin Pet Shop.

"You guys sit down first." Jialin pointed at the sofa, "I'll go find some materials."

The sofa was a bit old and had some unknown stains on it. Several people were a bit disgusted and didn't want to sit on it.

Xu Qingsong took apart the plastic stool in the corner, and Du Yunkai and he wiped it with wet tissues on the coffee table before they sat down.

After waiting for a long time, Jialin still didn't come out.

Wenxi asked, "Isn't he just talking nonsense? Is he talking about something that doesn't exist?"

Liu Wangxue didn't care: "It's fine if there isn't one, it's convenient for bargaining." She just wanted to raise a cat and didn't care about its pedigree or nobility.

A few minutes later, Jialin came out with a few sheets of paper: "These are all electronic files. My printer is a bit old, so it took some time."

Liu Wangxue took it and flipped through it one by one. In addition to vaccinations and physical examinations, there was also a CFA certificate.

"Let me ask you," Liu Wangxue looked at Jialin, pointed at the English word "NEUTER" on the green paper with her slender fingers, and asked, "What does this word mean?"

Jialin pretended to take a look and said, "How would I know? I don't understand English."

The other three also leaned over to take a look. Xu Qingsong and Wenxi burst out laughing, but Du Yunkai was confused. What was so funny about "castration"?

Xu Qingsong said: "He said this cat has breeding rights."

Du Yunkai had a subtle expression.

"That's right," Jialin said with certainty.

Liu Wangxue had already taken out his mobile phone, opened the browser, entered the URL, registered an account at random, entered the CFA's Herman Online system, and entered the query according to the number on the certificate.

The result showed "Sorry, the cat registration number you provided does not exist."
Liu Wangxue handed the phone to Jialin and said, "The certificate is fake."

"How is that possible! I bought it from a good friend!" Jialin looked shocked. He understood the word "Sorry". Generally, words that start with "Sorry" are not good words.

Liu Wangxue entered the certificate numbers of the cat's parents again, and the search results were the same.

This is a scam. Liu Wangxue looked at Jialin's almost broken expression, took back the phone, and pointed at "NEUTER" again: "Look up what this word means."

Jialin mechanically took out his mobile phone, typed in letters one by one, and stared at the translation result for a long time without saying a word.

Several people looked at him, and then saw him call that good friend.

"Hello, the number you dialed is unavailable. Please check before dialing."

Jialin looked at Liu Wangxue. His buddy had cheated him. The certificate was fake, which meant the pedigree and breeding rights were also fake. If everything was fake, he wouldn't be able to sell it at a high price!
In anger, he made a final struggle: "But this cat is indeed of top quality!"

Xu Qingsong said: "I just checked. Putting aside other things, this color number does not look like 12, but more like 11."

Du Yunkai felt that he was really scheming. He could even distinguish the colors in such a short while.

Liu Wangxue looked at the time. It was already past lunch time. People were hungry, and the dog should be hungry too. What's more, Pengpeng's gastrointestinal disease had not yet healed, so she wanted to finish it quickly.

She asked Jialin: "How much did you pay for it? If you are still willing to sell it now, I will add a little money to the original price and take it away."

Jialin must want to sell it. It takes too much trouble to keep a cat like this. He has been focusing on this cat for more than a month, hoping to sell it for a good price. Who knew that he was cheated by that bastard? Wait, he must find someone!

Under the gazes of Xu Qingsong and Du Yunkai who were trying to "talk nicely", Jialin did not dare to ask for an exorbitant price and said, "I spent three thousand on it."

Liu Wangxue said: "Okay, I'll give you six thousand."

"Then I also took him to check-ups, vaccinated him, and had beauty treatments. In addition, he also had to pay for food, playthings, and other things he used to eat and use in the past month." Jialin counted them out and said, "You, add some more."

Wenxi deliberately advised Liu Wangxue, but actually said to Jialin: "Think carefully, this cat is now equivalent to a 'three-no product'. What if something goes wrong after you buy it?"

Jialin quickly retorted: "This medical examination report is absolutely true. If you don't believe me, you can go and ask." He then said to Liu Wangxue: "Really, I'm selling it sincerely. You can at least give me a little more. You can't let me lose money, right?"

Liu Wangxue thought for a moment and said, "Okay, eight thousand, no more."

Jialin said, "Nine thousand! Is nine thousand okay?" He walked to the cabinet and took out the cat bed, cat scratching board, cat teaser, cat bowl and other small things one by one, "I'll give all these to you, as my farewell gift to it." Then he took out a bag of cat food.

Liu Wangxue nodded under his expectant gaze.

Jialin happily took the money, helped her pack the gifts, and sent them all the way to the alley. On the way back, they passed by the pet shop that Liu Wangxue and the others had entered for the first time, and were stopped by the owner.

The shop owner asked him with a smile: "Is it sold?"

"Don't mention it!" Jialin said, "I'm so angry! How dare Mao Chang, that bastard, cheat me!"

"Oh, that's bad," the shop owner pulled Jialin inside, "I also bought a few from him and haven't sold them yet. Can you help me check if they are fake?"

Liu Wangxue and three others returned to the parking lot and got in the car.

The cat still maintained the same posture and never changed. Liu Wangxue wanted to put it in the cat bag, but it didn't want to.

Xu Qingsong checked the time and said as he drove out, "Let's go eat first."

Everyone agreed, and everyone was indeed hungry.

Liu Wangxue took out some snacks from Pengpeng's bag and handed them to Wenxi. Wenxi refused and said, "What are you doing? You can't eat dog food even if you are hungry!"

Pengpeng saw its snack and barked.

Liu Wangxue felt that she must have fainted from hunger to say such a thing: "I'm not asking you to eat, I'm asking you to feed Pengpeng."

The two grown men in front laughed out loud.

Wenxi couldn't help laughing, but he knocked on the back of the chair and said, "What are you laughing at? Just focus on driving!" Then he tore open the package and fed it to Pengpeng, who finished it in just a few bites.

The cat in Liu Wangxue's arms suddenly moved, its little nose twitching, and it poked its head towards the source of the smell. Liu Wangxue said to Wenxi: "Take another one for me and feed it to the cat."

Wenxi asked, "Will Gouzi be willing?" Then he opened one and handed it to Liu Wangxue.

He licked his lips and his eyes followed the snacks.

Liu Wangxue said, "Is this for the cat to eat?"

"Woof!"

Liu Wangxue fed it to the cat.

Wenxi opened another one and put it to Pengpeng's mouth.

Seeing the two little animals eating so happily, Liu Wangxue felt even hungrier. She asked, "Where should we go to eat? It would be best if we could find a restaurant that allows pets."

Wenxi said, "That's right. Look at the cats and dogs. Which one of them can leave you?"

Du Yunkai took out his phone and searched for it, then asked, "What do you want to eat? I'll book the restaurant."

Xu Qingsong glanced at the rearview mirror and said with a smile: "The opportunity to kill someone has come, you two must not be polite."

They were also embarrassed to meet someone they had just met, and Liu Wangxue said, "I'm not picky about food, as long as I can bring my pet."

Wenxi also said, "I am the same as her."

Du Yunkai stretched out his voice and asked Xu Qingsong: "What about you? What do you want?"

Xu Qingsong was not polite to him: "Expensive, the more expensive the better."

Du Yunkai complained about him: "What a lack of taste." After that, he made a phone call, booked a private room, switched the map on his phone to navigation mode, and placed it on the bracket in front of the car so that Xu Qingsong could see it conveniently.

Before eating, Wenxi helped Liu Wangxue pour cat food and dog food, but the cat was unwilling to eat, so Liu Wangxue had to feed it little by little with her hands.

After feeding it, it still didn't want to come down, no matter how much she coaxed it. Liu Wangxue had no choice but to continue holding it, letting Wenxi wipe her hands with a wet wipe, and eating with one hand.

The process of eating was also quite difficult. The cat seemed to be very greedy. It kept staring at the chopsticks that Liu Wangxue used to pick up the food, and its eyes followed her movements. When Liu Wangxue was eating, it would always try to grab a piece of the food, but it would just lean forward with its head, and its claws would still hook the rope with beeswax hanging on her neck.

Liu Wangxue could only turn her head to the right to avoid it when eating. But it seemed to treat this as a game and never got tired of it.

Xu Qingsong was taking pictures with his mobile phone on the opposite side, Du Yunkai was standing next to him, and they were both laughing together.

Wenxi helped Liu Wangxue pick up the food that was inconvenient for her to reach, and was very happy: "It's strange, it sticks to you so much, but Pengpeng doesn't get jealous."

"Woof woof!" Pengpeng, who was eating dog food with his head down, heard someone calling his name and raised his head to respond.

Liu Wangxue smiled and translated: "It must be saying, I brought you back, why would I be jealous of you?"

Du Yunkai had never seen such a cat before, and was very curious. He thought that she had bought such a lively treasure at such a low price, and the cost performance was ridiculously high. How much fun would she have in her future life! He wanted to ask for a transfer, but looking at the situation, he would definitely not be able to take it.

Xu Qingsong finished filming the video, still smiling, and said to Liu Wangxue, "I sent it to the group?"

Liu Wangxue nodded: "Okay, send it."

"What group?" Du Yunkai asked.

Liu Wangxue said: "A few friends created a chat group for Pengpeng." Wenxi had already joined it when they were having barbecue last night.

Du Yunkai expressed his curiosity, so Liu Wangxue and Xu Qingsong told him about Pengpeng's origin and the process of his adoption.

Wenxi listened to it again and still sighed: "My Xuxu is too soft-hearted. If it were me at that time, the most I could do was to help contact the shelter."

Du Yunkai also said: "Yeah, after all, not everyone has the courage to pick up a dirty stray dog." After he said that, he asked Xu Qingsong to pull him into the group.

After Du Yunkai joined the group, the cell phones of the four people in the private room kept ringing, so they had no choice but to open the conversation and stop at the chat page.

The group first welcomed two new members - Maomao and Du Yunkai, and then started a lively discussion about naming the cats.

Some are named based on their appearance, such as "Lanlan" and "Jinjin", while others are named based on their personality, such as "Pipi" and "Taotao".

But the most outrageous one is Tao Huayu, who said: "I bought it for 9,000 yuan, so I might as well call him Jiuqiansui"

I was really amused by him.

Xu Qingsong said: "Why not just pair up with Pengpeng and call yourself 'Ci Ci', since we are all here for Pengpeng anyway."

This proposal was unanimously approved by everyone.

But Liu Wangxue said: "Why not call her 'Xiaoci'? 'Cici' is a bit difficult to pronounce."

Then, Xu Qingsong posted this name to the group, and Tao Huayu and others immediately posted it on the screen, saying that they would go to see Xiaoci when they had time. Then, Tao Huayu changed the group name to "Pengcier Combination C Position Debut".

After dinner, several people sent Du Yunkai back to the hotel to pack up. He suddenly became curious about the small town where Xu Qingsong lived and decided to stay there for a few days as a picnic.

Originally, Liu Wangxue was planning to take Xiaoci to the veterinary hospital for a checkup, and also wanted to have Pengpeng checked again. But Xiaoci was in such a state that it might be difficult to do anything. So, after Du Yunkai packed his luggage, they went back directly.

Xu Qingsong first drove the car back to Liu Wangxue's yard, then helped take the cat supplies out of the trunk, and then took Du Yunkai back.

When I saw that there was only one lonely little goldfish in the fish tank in the living room, I realized that I forgot to buy fish. Never mind, I'll do it next time.

After a room was arranged for Du Yunkai, the mechanic arrived and he went to watch them change the tire.

An incredible scene happened in Liu Wangxue's courtyard.

Pengpeng got out of the car, and after confirming that Xu Qingsong and Du Yunkai had really left, he called out to Xiaocier in Liu Wangxue's arms twice.

Xiao Ci raised his round head and meowed at Liu Wangxue. His paws finally loosened the braided rope. He jumped down lightly and ran to Peng Peng.

Pengpeng raised his front paws, patted its head, and barked twice at Liu Wangxue.

Liu Wangxue and Wenxi were simply stunned.

"Oops!" Wenxi said regretfully after coming to her senses, "I forgot to take a picture with my phone!"

"It's okay. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future." Liu Wangxue squatted down and touched the heads of the two one by one, smiling very gently, "Why are you so cute, um, my little cutie."

They rubbed the two of them against her palms.

From today on, there is a new member in the family.

Wenxi helped Liu Wangxue put the cat's things away, and then they went back to the room to change clothes, remove their makeup and wash their faces, and then curled up on the sofa together.

Liu Wangxue felt really tired after going out today.

Sure enough, if a person rests for too long, he will want to rest all the time. If there are just a little more things to do, the energy in the body will be easily consumed.

She had to lie down for a while, and she fell asleep while lying there.

Sleepiness is contagious. When Wenxi saw that she had fallen asleep, he could no longer hold the phone. He rearranged the pillows and went to sleep.

Cat and Dog
Play Pengpeng: It's safe, you can come down.
Xiaoci: Master, I'm going down ( )

Pengpeng (raise paw, touch head): From today on, we are a family.

Xiaoci (squinting): I have a home now~ I'm happy~ Chapter 37 Breakup

Liu Wangxue and Wenxi fell asleep while lying on the sofa.

Du Yunkai was looking around Xu Qingsong's room.

His impression of this kind of housing was limited to occasionally seeing it on TV, and it was equated with poverty. So he couldn't understand why Xu Qingsong chose to come back after he had money and ability, so he wanted to find out.

The layout of the rooms on Xu Qingsong's side is basically the same as that on Liu Wangxue's side before the renovation, because the two houses were built at the same time by the same construction team.

Xu Qingsong's grandfather is a well-known professor in the field of archaeology. After graduating with a doctorate, he stayed at Beijing University to teach. The house here has always been taken care of by Erye's family. Xu Qingsong's father, including Xu Qingsong himself, were all born in Beijing.

Until Xu Qingsong went to college, his family would come back to live here every winter and summer vacation. So although the house is old, it is well maintained. This time, Xu Qingsong simply renovated it after he came back.

He lives in the master bedroom, and the second bedroom is now given to Du Yunkai.

Du Yunkai walked around the house for a long time but didn't find anything special, so he went out to look for Xu Qingsong, but stopped under the cherry tree in the yard.

The tire was quickly changed. As soon as Xu Qingsong came in, he saw him staring at the tree and asked, "What are you looking at?"

"When I was a child, my family also planted a cherry tree," Du Yunkai said, "because my mother loved eating cherries, and my father planted it for her himself."

"Then what?"

Du Yunkai sighed: "My sister and I watered him to death."

Xu Qingsong thought he was going to be sentimental, and suddenly he didn't know how to respond: "Did you get beaten?"

"He was beaten so hard that he cried." Du Yunkai said, "Hey, when will your tree bear fruit? Send me some when the time comes."

Xu Qingsong went into the house to wash his hands, leaving a message: "Master, the seasonal cherries are gone, you can wait until next year!"

Du Yunkai was dissatisfied: "Hey, I think of you for everything good, but you don't even leave me a cherry?"

Xu Qingsong ignored him. When he came out after washing his hands, Du Yunkai was already sitting in the living room, browsing his phone. It was the hottest time of the afternoon sun, and it was really hard to stand outside.

Xu Qingsong took out two bottles of drinks from the refrigerator, handed him one, and sat down on the massage chair.

Du Yunkai handed him the phone and read the news headline: "Mu Group held a press conference and its subsidiary Wanjun Technology was officially established."

Xu Qingsong swiped down and took a quick look, and saw only words of praise.

Du Yunkai sneered: "Mu Jingsheng only knows how to do these gimmicks. It's just setting up a subsidiary, but why is there such a big fanfare?"

Xu Qingsong returned the phone to him and said, "It is undeniable that it is good to lean on a big tree for shade. With this momentum, the attention of PC game enthusiasts was immediately attracted, and their expectations were instantly raised."

"Okay, let's wait and see what he can come up with." Du Yunkai leaned back on the sofa, looking very leisurely.

Xu Qingsong drank a drink and started the full-body massage mode, saying: "No matter what he makes, it will definitely have huge traffic in the early stage and make a steady profit."

"After our PC game is approved, I will also hold a press conference." Du Yunkai thought, "Then I will ask my parents to come and support me."

Xu Qingsong laughed at him: "Didn't you hate people who compete with their fathers the most?"

Du Yunkai shook his head: "It's different now. When it comes to making money, you can't be afraid of losing face when you need to curry favor with someone powerful." Mu Jingsheng can rely on the entire Mu family as his backer, so what's wrong with him asking his parents to help promote it?

"Hey, let me ask you something." Xu Qingsong suddenly became serious, "What happened to your girlfriend this morning? What's her relationship with Mu Jingsheng? Also, the girl who was cheated on by Mu Jingsheng, was she Liu Wangxue?"

Du Yunkai immediately made a "stop" gesture: "Stop, she is not my girlfriend anymore, we have broken up." Then he answered Xu Qingsong's other two questions.

When Du Yunkai and He Yan arrived at the lounge, the agent was also there.

The agent already knew about their relationship and approved of it. He also privately reminded He Yan: "Although he is a playboy and he may be attracted to you for the sake of novelty, you must seize this opportunity to hold on to him and gain more benefits for yourself. If a person with a family background like him gets a little bit of money, it will be enough for a little star like you to have no worries about food and drink, no matter whether it is resources or money."

He Yan was spotted by a director by chance and starred in a low-budget movie. She became a little famous and then entered the entertainment industry. Not long after that, by chance, she became a regular on a national variety show and her traffic exploded.

She was only in her early twenties, very young, at an age full of fantasies and expectations about love, so she naturally refused to listen to the agent's rhetoric of exchanging interests. Her love for Du Yunkai was at most mixed with some vanity.

When the agent saw Du Yunkai coming to visit the set, he wanted to leave the space for them and go guard outside the door himself, but Du Yunkai did not let him leave.

After closing the door, Du Yunkai got straight to the point and asked, "What is your relationship with Mu Jingsheng?"

When the agent heard this, his face changed drastically. He thought that this girl was so bold as to play two women at the same time. He was about to scold her, but Du Yunkai raised his hand to stop him.

He Yan thought Du Yunkai had misunderstood and was jealous, and she was very happy in her heart, but she said reservedly: "What relationship do I have with him?"

"Tell the truth!" Du Yunkai took off his glasses that pretended to be gentle, and his stern look scared He Yan and his agent.

The agent urged: "Why are you just standing there? Come on and tell me!"

He Yan's body trembled slightly. During the time she was with Du Yunkai, she had never been scolded by him. Du Yunkai always spoiled her in everything. She was a little stunned when she was suddenly scolded by him.

She carefully looked at Du Yunkai's face and said, "I really have nothing to do with him. Yes, it was Sister Zhizhi. She, she is Mu Jingsheng's fiancée and Ling Ling's friend. Once she was on the phone to defend Ling Ling, and I happened to pass by and heard it."

Zhizhi is an actress in their company. Her ability is comparable to that of the top actress and she is the next person that the company will focus on training.

After hearing this, the agent couldn't help but poke her forehead and said, "That's a matter between them, why are you meddling in it!" Although the agent didn't know what the matter was specifically, looking at Du Yunkai's expression, it was clear that it was not something they could interfere with.

He Yan looked aggrieved: "Didn't you ask me to get along well with Sister Zhizhi so that she would think of me when she got any big screen resources? Why are you blaming me?"

The agent got a headache instantly, cursing in his heart: Can you say this in front of Du Yunkai? You said this, and he can think of ten more! How can we still talk about love?
Sure enough, Du Yunkai put on his glasses again, and said in a cold tone: "If you still want her to stay in the entertainment industry, you have to teach her what to listen to, what to say, and what to do. He Yan, our relationship ends here, and the breakup fee will be transferred to your account within three days."

Du Yunkai left after saying this.

After the door closed, the agent and He Yan came to their senses.

He Yan wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by her agent.

A moment later, the sound of something being smashed was heard in the lounge. Liu Wangxue was woken up by someone nudging his head.

Pengpeng is a considerate dog. Seeing that his owner was sleeping soundly, he did not wake up Liu Wangxue even when it was time for him to go out for a walk.

But Xiaoci was not obedient and insisted on sleeping on the owner's belly. It pushed with its paws, but Xiaoci ignored it. But it couldn't move too much, otherwise it would disturb the owner, so in the end, it could only let Xiaoci lie down and not move.

Seeing that it was getting dark and time for dinner, it was very hungry. It thought that its owner must be hungry too, so it arched its neck to wake her up.

As soon as Liu Wangxue opened her eyes, she found that the light in the room had dimmed, and Xiaoci was lying on her stomach. No wonder she always felt like she was being pressed down by something in her dreams, and she couldn't run fast.

After she woke up, Xiaoci got off her belly, crawled to her neck, and rubbed her face. She touched the cat's round head, stretched her body, yawned, and then stood up.

Peng Peng had already put out the dog bowl and cat bowl, and was squatting beside her, calling out to her. Xiao Ci also jumped off the sofa, ran over, and squatted with Peng Peng to watch her.

Liu Wangxue's heart was melted by these two pairs of cute eyes. She walked over and patted their heads one by one: "Are you hungry? Wait a minute, dinner will be served soon."

There is a wardrobe at the door of the living room. Shoes are placed at the bottom and dog food and snacks are placed on the top. Now there is an extra bag of cat food.

Liu Wangxue poured dinner for them and watched them eat happily. She felt a little hungry too.

Wenxi, who was sitting on the chaise longue, also woke up, turned over, and asked Liu Wangxue, "I'm hungry. What do you want for dinner?"

After a while, it was completely dark. Liu Wangxue stood up, sealed the bags of cat food and dog food, put them back in the cabinet, and turned on the light.

"Let's go to the kitchen and see what's there," she said.

"Okay!" Wenxi stretched and got up, following Liu Wangxue to the kitchen. "I haven't had a nap like this in a long time! It feels so good!"

Liu Wangxue joked: "Then don't leave, just stay here with me and sleep as long as you want."

"That won't work—" Wenxi lamented, "Well, when I make my studio the best, I will hire a professional manager to help me manage it, and then I will come and live here."

Liu Wangxue washed his hands and laughed at her: "That's impossible, Xixi. There are still many steps leading to the palace. Once you take this one, there will be another one. It's endless."

"Oh, it would be great if just having a dream could come true. This climb up step by step, when will it ever end?" Wen Xi just said this in a light tone without any complaint at all.

Liu Wangxue knew that she was the kind of person who could take things she loved lightly no matter how hard or tiring it was: "It's almost there, it's about to take off!"

The two smiled at each other.

Liu Wangxue opened the refrigerator and looked around, then asked Wenxi, "How about the pickled cabbage and shredded pork noodles?"

Wenxi pinched her waist and said, "Ah, eating staple food at night will make you fat." She has made it into the fashion circle, so how about controlling it?
Liu Wangxue looked at her and said, "You've already eaten barbecue, so why are you afraid of this?"

Wenxi was immediately shaken: "Yes, the appetite is the most important thing. At worst, I can go jogging with you tomorrow morning."

After dinner, they took a shower, closed the door, turned on the air conditioner, and continued to snuggle on the sofa in the living room.

Liu Wangxue came over with her computer, intending to edit the video and upload it. Under the light, she could see a faint plum-shaped gray mark on the sofa. The cat had just returned and she hadn't had time to educate it yet.

Liu Wangxue put the computer aside and was about to pick up the cat to talk to her when Pengpeng came over with the remote control, meaning that it was time to watch a show after dinner and asked Liu Wangxue to turn on the projector.

Liu Wangxue took the remote control and turned on the projector. Then Pengpeng raised one of his front paws, meaning to wipe it and get on the sofa.

Liu Wangxue took a wet tissue and wiped it one by one. It jumped up and sat upright, calling out to Xiaoci twice.

Xiaoci imitated the way Pengpeng looked, sat down, and raised his paw. But his legs were too short, and his innocent look was so adorable.

Liu Wangxue put it on her knees, drew another one, and said to it while wiping it: "From now on, you can only sit on the sofa in the living room after wiping your paws. Do you understand?"

Xiaoci still had an innocent face. Liu Wangxue picked it up, looked straight into its emerald green eyes, and asked again.

Xiaoci: "Meow~"

Liu Wangxue snuggled up to it and said, "So good! Okay, let's watch the show." Then she put it next to Pengpeng, and the two of them sat together obediently, staring straight ahead.

Wen Xi tapped the screen of his phone to finish recording, and then sent it to Liu Wangxue: "Oh my god, they are so cute! How come they are so smart? How about taking them for an IQ test tomorrow?"

Liu Wangxue and Wen Xi put their heads together and watched several videos again.

When Liu Wangxue picked up her computer and prepared to start editing, Liu Nanshan called her via video. As soon as she answered the call, she saw her parents sitting by the window in the ward. After greeting them, he took out his phone and moved closer to Wenxi, letting her be in the frame.

"When did Xixi come here?" Gu Xuelan had always liked this pretty and motivated girl, so she asked, "Is it fun abroad?"

"It's fun!" Wenxi said with a smile, "Uncle and aunt, when will you come back? I have brought you gifts."

Wenxi is a quick-witted person in front of his family. As he spoke, he took out the gifts under the coffee table and opened them one by one to show Liu Wangxue's parents.

After talking about the gifts, Liu Wangxue asked, "How is uncle now? Is he awake?"

Liu Wangxue had already sent a message to her parents in the morning, but her uncle was still asleep.

Liu Nanshan moved the camera to the bed and said, "He's awake. But he has a concussion. Fortunately, the airbag protected him at the time, so it's not serious. He's asleep again now."

"That's good," Liu Wangxue asked again, "Have my sister and brother-in-law decided when they will be back?"

Speaking of this, Liu Nanshan got angry: "Your sister called me this afternoon. Aren't they assigned abroad? Their dean is a piece of shit. He refused to approve their leave, saying that if they leave, there will be no one to teach the classes and no one to do the work."

Liu Wangxue couldn't believe it: "What kind of person is this? How can he be so unkind? Are my sister and brother-in-law the only two teachers in the whole college?" This is a matter of life and death! If he doesn't approve, he will directly report it to the next level. At worst, he will quit.

Gu Xuelan said: "They also wanted to come back directly, but Ruirui is already in elementary school. Although his grandparents help take care of him, the annual tuition and living expenses plus various tutoring classes and interest classes are still expensive. They also have to pay the mortgage. If they just leave, what will happen to the money?" I talked to my parents on the phone for a long time last night, then I edited a few videos and uploaded them, and then I went to bed a little late.

So Liu Wangxue was woken up by the dog again. Pengpeng was very anxious because he wanted to go out to poop.

Wenxi was unable to get up as expected; her biological clock just wasn't set for this time.

When Liu Wangxue was pulling the leash to open the gate, she was stopped by a voice saying "Good morning". She turned around and saw that it was Du Yunkai, who was standing on the roof of Xu Qingsong's bungalow, waving at her.

"Going out?" Du Yunkai asked. Because of the kitchen's obstruction, he couldn't see the cat and dog next to Liu Wangxue.

Liu Wangxue was wearing a neat sportswear. She nodded and said, "Let's take Pengpeng out for a run. Do you want to join us? The air here is quite fresh in the morning."

Du Yunkai was thinking about this, so he quickly went downstairs. Xu Qingsong had just finished washing up, so he went over with him.

When they came over, Peng Peng and Xiao Ci had already finished their work at the edge of the field. Xiao Ci scratched Peng Peng with her front paws, and Peng Peng lay on the ground, and then Xiao Ci climbed onto its back.

Xu Qingsong praised: "Great, Xiaoci, you already have a mount right after arriving!"

Du Yunkai asked with a smile: "Is it going to carry the cat for a walk?"

Liu Wangxue brought her cell phone with her. She held the leash in one hand and the camera in the other. She also said with a smile, "Let it get comfortable for a while, and then we'll take it down. We're here to exercise, not to enjoy ourselves, hahahaha."

The three of them walked forward. Du Yunkai looked back and asked Liu Wangxue, "Where's Wenxi? Isn't she coming with us?"

Liu Wangxue said: "She can't get up."

Walking onto the wider cement road, Liu Wangxue picked up Xiaoci and put her on the ground. Xiaoci seemed to not understand why she was being picked up, and raised her round head to look at Liu Wangxue.

Liu Wangxue scratched its chin and said, "Let's run together."

The three people and the dog ran forward a few steps. Liu Wangxue looked back and found that Xiaoci was still standing there. Liu Wangxue gently pulled the leash, Pengpeng also looked back, and then barked at Xiaoci a few times.

The cat then reluctantly started running forward to catch up with them. However, after running for a short while, it was unwilling to move anymore.

Pengpeng turned back and used his nose to push Xiaoci forward, and Xiaoci let him push her forward. After pushing for a while, Pengpeng became unwilling and called out to Liu Wangxue twice.

Liu Wangxue and the others kept standing still, watching the interaction between the two.

Seeing that Pengpeng stopped pushing it, Xiaoci walked to Liu Wangxue's feet, stretched out its claws to grab her trouser leg, and tried to climb up.

Liu Wangxue could only stop and hand Pengpeng's leash to Xu Qingsong: "Please take Pengpeng with you for a run, you lazy cat."

Du Yunkai asked, "You don't want to run with it as a weight, do you?"

Liu Wangxue bent down and picked up Xiaoci. Forget it, it's our own cat, just pamper her.

She patted Xiaoci's butt and said, "You can't just leave it here." She poked Xiaoci's forehead gently and said, "I won't bring you out next time."

Xu Qingsong took the leash and handed it to Du Yunkai, saying to Liu Wangxue, "It must weigh at least five or six kilograms. How about letting me hold it?"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand towards the cat. Xiao Ci immediately raised its two front paws and hit Xu Qingsong's hand through the air.

Du Yunkai laughed at him: "People look down on you!"

Liu Wangxue was helpless and said, "Let's go. We can carry the weights to exercise our bodies!"

Xiao Ci seemed to have received some kind of signal in an instant. She grabbed Liu Wangxue's coat and climbed onto her shoulders, then squatted down obediently.

The three of them were surprised and burst into laughter.

After jogging, I still walked back.

The new round of rice planting has ended, and the paddy fields are full of short seedlings, growing freely in the sun. In the lotus pond, the green lotus leaves support the graceful lotus flowers, swaying gently in the breeze.

When passing the intersection of a field path, I met several children holding lotus pods. The oldest one looked about seven or eight years old, and the youngest seemed to be only three or four years old. There were mud stains on their clothes. The youngest one was the most embarrassed, with half of his buttocks and trouser legs covered in mud, and his white face was also scratched.

The children stopped beside an electric tricycle and stared at the three of them as they came over with a cat and a dog. They were mainly looking at Liu Wangxue, because she was not only holding a dog with bumpy fur, but also had a cat sitting on her shoulder.

Liu Wangxue looked at these pairs of curious and innocent eyes and couldn't help but greet them with a smile: "Hello~"

The older children were a little shy, but the youngest one immediately smiled broadly when he saw Liu Wangxue greeting them.

He held a few lotus pods in his arms, and walked over with his short legs. He raised his little head to look at Liu Wangxue, and started the chat mode that only children would use: "Sister, do you have a cat?"

Liu Wangxue squatted down and corrected him: "Call me Auntie."

"Oh," the little one asked again, "Sister, are you supporting Auntie?"

Liu Wangxue looked back at Xu Qingsong and Du Yunkai. It was really ridiculous. She had no choice but to squat down, take the cat off her shoulders, and introduce it to the child: "The cat's name is Xiaoci."

The little one said to the cat, "Hello, Xiaoci. My name is Youyou, also called Xiaoyouzi. I have two names."

Liu Wangxue pinched Xiaoci's paw and waved to Youyou: "Youyou, hello!"

Seeing her friendly smile, several other children gathered around her. A little girl with pigtails asked, "Sister, what's the dog's name?"

"Call Peng Peng."

"Sister, why is its fur like this?"

"Sister, why is the cat sitting on your shoulder?"

"elder sister."

For a moment, Liu Wangxue was surrounded by a barrage of questions. Xu Qingsong and Du Yunkai also squatted down, helped answer questions, and joined in the conversation with the children.

Youyou seemed to like Xiaoci very much and asked Liu Wangxue: "Sister, can I touch it?"

Before Liu Wangxue could answer, a little fat boy stopped her: "No, your hands are dirty and will make the cat dirty."

Youyou spread out her little hands, and a few lotus pods fell to the ground. She looked at her hands covered with mud and green juice, and wiped them on her knees, but found they were not clean, and she felt a little sad.

Liu Wangxue put the cat on the ground, with a gentle smile in her eyes, and said: "It's okay, you can wash it again if it gets dirty. Cats also need a bath."

Youyou got permission, stretched out her little hand, and gently touched Xiaoci's head. His eyes suddenly lit up, and he said happily: "Sister, it's so good!"

When the other children saw this, they also asked if they could touch it. After getting permission, they put the lotus pods on the ground, stretched out their dirty little hands, touched the cats and dogs, and then exchanged feelings with Liu Wangxue and the others.

Du Yunkai looked at the time and it was already past eight o'clock. He asked them, "Don't you have to go to school? You'll be late if you don't go home now."2024-01-17 Author: Xuyu

Chapter 40 Good Feelings
The children chirped, "No school!"

"It's holiday time!"

"Summer vacation!"

"There are no more elementary schools or kindergartens!"

Du Yunkai was a little puzzled. When he was a child, he had to attend extracurricular tutoring classes even during the winter and summer vacations. Except for the weekends, he never had such a leisurely day, let alone picking lotus pods and getting himself covered in mud.

Xu Qingsong patted his shoulder and said, "Master, not all families send their children to extracurricular classes."

Liu Wangxue also said: "Yes, I was like this when I was a kid, I would run around and play whenever I had a holiday."

As they chatted, Du Yunkai expressed regretfully, "Wouldn't my childhood have been much less fun?"

"It can only be said that the experience is different." Xu Qingsong said, "You haven't experienced what they have experienced, and they may not have experienced what you have experienced."

As they were talking, a man and a woman came over from the other side of the path, both wearing waterproof jumpsuits and carrying a shoulder pole. The plastic baskets at both ends of the shoulder pole were filled with lotus roots, the mud had been washed off, and they looked fresh and juicy.

They asked the children in dialect: "Didn't we tell you to go home and eat first? Why are you still here?" As they spoke, they moved the plastic baskets onto the electric tricycle.

The children all stood up and chattered about cats and dogs.

Liu Wangxue and the other two also stood up and greeted each other. Xiaoci tugged at Liu Wangxue's trouser legs, wanting to be held again. As soon as Liu Wangxue picked it up, it immediately ran to Liu Wangxue's shoulder and squatted.

The other party still had a few baskets of lotus roots by the field, so after saying a few words, he took the carrying pole and went back to pick them up.

The woman said to the children again: "Go home quickly. You are all covered in mud. Go back and change your clothes and wash yourself. After dinner, it's time to do your homework."

When the children were leaving, one of them gave Liu Wangxue and the others a lotus pod.

The little girl with pigtails taught them how to peel it: "Look, this is how you peel it." She handed it to Liu Wangxue and said, "Sister, try it, it's delicious!"

She was so enthusiastic that Liu Wangxue didn't want to hurt her feelings, but when she saw the plump white lotus seeds covered with mud, she really couldn't reach out her hand.

So she broke open a lotus pod, took out a lotus seed, and peeled it while saying, "Thank you, but you can eat it yourself. I have already learned how to do it. Look." She put the peeled lotus seed into her mouth and bit it with her teeth. It was sweet and cool. "Oh, it's really delicious!"

The little girl smiled happily and ate the lotus seeds in her hand by herself. Her pigtails swayed back and forth, looking very cute.

The children said goodbye and walked towards another shortcut to the village. After walking a few steps, the little one came back and asked Liu Wangxue: "Sister, can I come to play with you?"

Liu Wangxue wanted to tease him, so she bent down and asked, "Why?"

The little one raised his little face and said, "I, I like cats."

It was so cute that Liu Wangxue couldn't help but touch it and pointed to the front right and said, "Sure, my sister's home is over there. You can ask the adults at home to take you there to play."

The land chosen by Xu Qingsong's great-grandfather is in the same village as the children according to the division on the map, but it is some distance away from the village collective. From a distance, it is just a house built in the rice field and is very easy to recognize.

The little guy jumped happily and said to Liu Wangxue, "Thank you, sister~ Goodbye, sister~" Then he took his short legs and trotted to catch up with his little friend.

The three of them continued to walk back, and Xu Qingsong and Du Yunkai also peeled the lotus seeds and started eating them.

Du Yunkai said while eating: "I have an idea."

Xu Qingsong asked: "What is it about?"

Du Yunkai shook the lotus pod in his hand.

Xu Qingsong asked: "Want to experience picking lotus pods?"

"And digging lotus roots." Du Yunkai was eager to try: "Since I'm here, I might as well experience something I've never done before."

Xu Qingsong thought it was okay, to add some fun to his life of lying flat and experience the joy of labor. He turned to Liu Wangxue and asked, "What do you think?"

Liu Wangxue had never experienced digging lotus roots in a lotus pond, so she could pick more lotus pods. She also liked eating fresh lotus seeds, so she readily agreed.

Du Yunkai looked around and said to Xu Qingsong, "I see there are a lot of lotus ponds here. Can you help me contact which one can rent it out?"

"You're not," Xu Qingsong said with a look of rejection in his eyes, "It's just an experience, why do you want to make such a big fuss?"

"Don't we have to pay for digging other people's lotus roots?" Du Yunkai wondered.

Liu Wangxue looked at him with a smile and said, "I think maybe we just need to pay for some lotus roots."

Xu Qingsong threw the peeled lotus pods into the paddy field and said, "You don't have to pay a penny. If you are willing to dig them, their family will be so happy!"

How is that possible? Du Yunkai didn't believe it.

Liu Wangxue was curious: "Whose family?"

Xu Qingsong kept it a secret: "Let me contact him first."

After returning to the courtyard, Liu Wangxue first poured breakfast for Xiaoci and Pengpeng, then added some water to the bowls beside them. She watched them finish eating until they had almost finished eating before making breakfast.

Wenxi slept until breakfast was ready before getting up. Liu Wangxue had left a lotus pod for her, and she peeled it and ate it while sitting at the table.

"This is really the first time I've eaten fresh lotus seeds," Wenxi liked them after taking the first bite. She said, "Why don't we check if there are similar experience parks nearby and try picking some? It would be best if we could also experience how to dig lotus roots."

She loves eating glutinous rice and lotus root, and lotus root and pork ribs soup. She's drooling just thinking about it.

"Wow, you two really have such a tacit understanding!" Liu Wangxue held his face and looked at her.

"Who?"

"You and Du Yunkai!" Liu Wangxue said with a smile, "That's what he suggested when he came back just now."

Wenxi curled her lips.

"Hey," Liu Wangxue gradually revealed a gossipy expression, "I think he seems to have a crush on you, what do you think?"

"I don't have any idea." Wenxi said, "I've seen a lot of people like him now. He has never lacked anything since he was a child. No matter what he does, he always plays with the world. When it comes to dating, he only cares about the novelty. Breaking up is as easy as throwing away a piece of clothing."

Wen Xi handed a peeled lotus seed to Liu Wangxue and continued, "Think about Mu Jingsheng. They are essentially the same kind of people. If I had known about Mu Jingsheng's relationship with the Mu family, I would have tried every possible means to stop you from talking to him, even if it meant breaking off our friendship."

Liu Wangxue took it, thought for a moment and said with a smile: "I won't break up with you, but considering how much I was in love at that time, I would definitely quarrel with you as soon as I met you."

Wen Xi was still furious when she thought of Mu Jingsheng, and angrily threw the peeled lotus pods into the trash can: "Ha, if I had that kind of family background, I would make him fall in a minute!"
