Zhu Qing’an: “……”

He froze for a moment, confirming that the other party was calling his name, and then wondered, “How do you …… know me?”

And also to himself – why was he so enthusiastic?

The young man smiled, the blue eyes behind the thin lenses flashed with light, he looked at Zhu Qing’an, with a little surprise and amazement: “You’ve grown up, the old you, was really like a small bean sprout, thin.”

Zhu Qing’an: “……”

He, during his childhood, didn’t know such a person.

Zhu Qing’an glanced at the business card, to the information on the card, and greeted: “Your name is Mr. Sami, right ……? From the imperial capital? The president of a game group?”

He was a little skeptical, such a big shot couldn’t be so familiar with him.

The result was beyond Zhu Qingan’s imagination.

The youth nodded: “Well, it’s me.”

Zhu Qing’an: “??!”

“Mr. Sami ……”

The questions that were on his mind suddenly stumbled out.

“You look like you were looking for me, is there something wrong?” The young man asked suspiciously.

Zhu Qing’ an clasped his shirt and whispered, “Yes … I wanted to ask you if you know a love development game called False Love.”

As soon as his words fell, Sami frowned tightly and immediately looked intimidating. After a long time, Sami replied slowly, “I know this game.”

Zhu Qing’an: “!”

He was a little impatient to know the secrets of the game he, took a step forward and asked, “- the virtual character in this game, always give me expensive gifts. Do you know what …… It’s all about?”

Sami: “…… I don’t know. My group has only been involved in the production of this game, and the official unit of the game is the Ministry of Military Affairs. I’m not quite sure why they wanted to make this game, but I don’t think the avatar inside the …… game is that simple.”

He raised his head and held up his glasses, “That virtual character, is it called Qin Hengyi?”

Zhu Qing’an: “Yes ……”

Instead of getting the answer he wanted, he gained even more doubts.

“Then it’s him.”

Zhu Qing’an: “……”

When he saw that the other couldn’t answer the truth about the game, he decided to change the question, he laughed lightly and asked, “Then …… Mr. Sami. Do you know some of the plot of the game? For example, how to heal Qin Hengyi who has turned into a mermaid…”

Sami paused and thought for a moment. “You can think about’ love’. This game, I remember, is based on the theme of’ proving love’. ”

He looked at Zhu Qing’an’s confused look, frowned, and gave him a warning: “Also, you shouldn’t take Qin Hengyi as a mere virtual character. …… I think he, may be a real existence. The plot in the game, is also real.”

It wasn’t uncommon in the Imperial game world to develop a plot game for some famous person.

But Zhu Qing’an was still taken aback by Sami’s comment.

If Qin Hengyi was real …… was a living person ……

Then he had done so many things to him?

Zhu Qingan’s face turned red, he lowered his eyes, not knowing what to do.

Sami saw Zhu Qingan’s strange look, and the corner of his lips rose, he reached out and stroked the teenager’s head: “Next time we can go to the game headquarters of False Love and take a look. I remember they gave me an address for the headquarters.”

Zhu Qing’an: “…… But …… isn’t the Imperial Star not allowed to the general public?”

“The game headquarters is not in the Imperial Star.”

Zhu Qing’an froze, finding things increasingly confusing.

Since the game headquarters wasn’t in the imperial star, then who sent and received the courier he sent over?

It couldn’t really be Qin Hengyi, right?

He could only wait until he went to the game headquarters and found out what was going on.

At that time, all the questions would be solved.

Zhu Qing’an: “Thank you Mr. Sami ……”

“No need.”

At this time.

The banquet had already started. The high platform at the end of the cruise ship also appeared with the organizers of this banquet.

They wanted to use this to promote the public interest of protecting marine animals, but also wanted to select the Empire’s current marine animal protection ambassador.

Zhu Qing’an wasn’t too interested in these things. He came only to talk to the person involved in the False Love game.

He left the crowd and hid in a small private room on the second floor of the cruise ship.

His ears still echoed with Sami’s words.

Qin Hengyi may be real ……

All the storylines in the game may have prototypes in the real world.

It must be said that the game “False Love” was indeed spot on in its portrayal of the characters. Not only was the picture exquisite, but the characters’ feelings and pursuits …… were written very well.

Making Zhu Qing’an often mistakenly think that his lonely life really had such an extra person.

Protect him and help him at all times.

As if he was a real lover.

Zhu Qing’an couldn’t help but think.

If Qin Hengyi really existed in this world, then what kind of person was he ……? Like in the game?

Zhu Qing”an sat on the sofa and pulled open the small backpack he was carrying, inside was a folded holographic helmet.

Since the opening of the new scene, he rarely used that way to communicate with the man across the screen, he felt more comfortable with holographic mode. And after a long time together, he was no longer so resistant to Qin Hengyi.

He glanced out the window at the still unfinished banquet, as well as under the cruise ship – darkened by the night, the seawater was rippled by the breeze, …… the mermaid in the game …… seemed to exist under this sea.

He pulled the curtains, locked the door, and put on his holographic helmet.

[Welcome back to False Love!]

Zhu Qing’an opened his eyes and what met his eyes was a beach sprinkled with fluorescent stones. The icy sea breeze made him shiver.

He found Qin Hengyi by the beach.

But when he walked up to the other side, he abruptly realized – he had mistaken the person.

What he met was the teenage version of Qin Hengyi.

In order not to be seen by him, he reactively tried to leave, but the other suddenly came over and clutched his wrist so tightly that he couldn’t break free.

The boy’s blood-red eyes were darker and more somber than in his adult years, he stared straight at Zhu Qing’an in a hair-raising manner.

Zhu Qing’an: “……”

He was a bit abashed, his neck shrunk back and he asked: “What’s wrong?”

The boy clutched his hand and rubbed his pale fingers on his palm.

— you and that man, what is your relationship? You kissed him on the face.

Zhu Qing’an:????

The crisp sea breeze …… seemed to be laced with a strong smell of jealousy.

He felt he had met two jealous tanks, and who got jealous of himself.

Zhu Qing’an didn’t know how to answer for a moment, for a long time, he stammered: “He and I are just ordinary friends, I only kissed his face, nothing else ……”

–really?

Zhu Qing’an broke out in a cold sweat, he nodded his head.

The boy still looked at him, his blood-red eyes containing a few complex emotions.

Zhu Qing’an saw a bit of dependence in the other party’s gaze …….

This ……

As a young man, Qin Hengyi lived here, not knowing exactly what was happening to him, not knowing who had hurt him, and not knowing what his future would be.

Zhu Qing’an sent the luminescent stone for Qin Hengyi.

But in the past where it really happened.

Little Qin Hengyi had no luminescent stone, no Zhu Qing’an, facing – only the never-ending darkness, loneliness.

If someone appeared in front of him and was kind to him, he would take the other person as a lifesaver.

Zhu Qing’an had a bit of a headache, but also a bit of clarity.

The game explained to him the task of unlocking the knot left by Qin Hengyi’s previous heart in this setting.

In addition to relying on body/liquid to let Qin Hengyi’s scars heal, he might be able to start with the Qin Hengyi of the past.

Will changing the person in the past have an effect on the one in the future?

Erase the shadows and sufferings of the past and give the other person a better future.

The boy wrapped his arms around Zhu Qing’an, his cold hands swept over his warm skin like he was drawing on his warmth.

–I like you a lot.

Zhu Qing’an: “……”

The palm of his hand was tickled by the other’s fingers.

Finally, he couldn’t resist asking, “Why aren’t you talking?”

Since meeting the boy, the boy had kept his mouth shut. It was only logical that mermaids had good voices and liked to sing and talk ……

His eyes widened, and loss flashed in his eyes.

— I used to love to talk, and even sing.

–But now no one listens to me. I don’t want to talk either.

Zhu Qing’an: “……”

Indeed.

Before he came along, the boy was all alone and there was no need to talk. Not to mention singing.

Zhu Qing’an wanted to say that he could talk to him and listen to him sing. But inexplicably, he couldn’t say it.

He was only one person.

The other might want more people to listen.

Zhu Qing’an thought carefully. He remembered that all the audio in this game, that was, the words spoken by the game’s protagonist, could be found in the Light Computer’s folder and could also be uploaded to Starnet.

In other words, if the boy was willing to sing, he could find the song and upload them to his Weibo account, which had hundreds of millions of followers.

A mermaid’s song was very moving and charming.

Not to mention put into a crowd that had never heard a mermaid’s song before.

There would surely be many people who would like his song.

That …… boy would also be happy for a while, right?

Zhu Qing’an gently pushed away the boy’s hand and moved towards the other’s taller figure.

The tide was rising and falling, and the fluorescent stones wwre caught in the waves, fluttering with the breeze. It was like a string of bright and rosy stars.

The teenager held the mermaid’s cold, wet hand, his face looked extra nice and gentle, and his voice was equally soft, like a piece of strawberry cake melting away.

“Can you …… sing again?”

“I will let many, many people hear your voice.”
