Chapter 582 Extra 2 The Secret in the Heart

In early October, the crew completed the exterior shooting.

There was no holiday during the National Day holiday, and the entire crew seamlessly returned to the theme park in Huai City to continue filming the indoor scenes.

The director, actors and staff of the crew all knew about the grand occasion of the game launch conference. They only regretted that there was no holiday during the National Day and they could not go to the comic exhibition in Hai City to join in the fun. So those who were particularly close to Liu Wangxue asked her if she had an internal test account so that they could play it.

When the first version was tested, Liu Wangxue was in Taojia Village and used Xu Qingsong's account to play directly. When the second and third versions were tested, she was in the crew, so naturally she had an account. Even if she was not the screenwriter, she was Xu Qingsong's girlfriend - no, now she is the lover, also called wife - Xu Qingsong would definitely give her a trial version.

Not only she had one, Wenxi also got one from Du Yunkai as his girlfriend. Du Yunkai kept his promise to participate in the lotus root digging competition three years ago and opened an account for Qiu Xiangrong. They were all the third edition, so Tao Huaxin and Tao Huayu at home also experienced it in advance.

However, in the crew, Liu Wangxue played secretly. Only Jing Yujun, Ni Jia and a few others knew about this account. Sometimes when there were no night scenes, they would gather in her room to play under the pretext of discussing the script.

Facing everyone's inquiries, Liu Wangxue lied, saying that Xu Qingsong gave it to her but she didn't want it, and she didn't have time to play it, so she would play it after finishing filming and going home - the game hadn't been officially released yet, and she was worried that if someone accidentally released it, it would cause some bad influence. Anyway, the release date was only a few days away, so she just waited.

On the 15th, the public beta version of the game was officially released. Because it was not a mobile game and not many people in the crew brought laptops, there were few downloads. However, once everyone had free time, they still gathered around those with computers and vie to try it out.

Since the public beta started, Xu Qingsong would discuss various game statistics with Liu Wangxue. Liu Wangxue also kept an eye on online discussions and felt relieved to see that most of the comments were positive.

Du Yunkai doesn't even have to spend money on promotion, as game bloggers on major video platforms have taken the initiative to live stream the game because the game has its own traffic.

Among them, the one who stands out is Tao Qinglei's brother Tao Qingxin.

Tao Qingxin was doing game live streaming in college, and after graduation he did not go out to find a job, but continued to do this at home. Originally, his parents were very dissatisfied with him doing this, but after he made money from "Da Zhao Twenty-one Cases", they let him do it.

At that time, Tao Qingxin was just a game anchor with very few fans. Ever since he started playing "The Twenty-one Cases of Da Zhao" and was matched with the role of "Princess Ke'er", and each time he destroyed his own country in different ways, his live broadcast room became popular and he was hailed by fans as the "Princess of the Lost Country."

When Jin Zhaofei and others from the PC game group found out about this, they were so delighted that they specially brought him to the studio to live broadcast the public beta. Du Yunkai even spent money to buy him a promotion.

However, the gameplay of the PC version and the stand-alone version is different. In the current map, "Princess Ke'er" has not appeared yet, so Tao Qingxin just randomly chose a profession and went into business, starting from a grocery store.

In the end, no one knows how he managed it, but the grocery store closed down within a few days of opening! The fans in the live broadcast room followed the halo of "the princess of the fallen country" and immediately gave him a new title of "the owner of the fallen store".

Afterwards, Tao Qingxin changed his career and went farming, starving himself to death. He then went to learn a craft from a master, but was expelled from the master and ridiculed by his fans. They left messages one after another, suggesting that he take the imperial examination and pursue a career in officialdom, to see if he could climb to a high position and then bring down Dazhao.

Tao Qingxin actually started the "part-time work and part-time study" mode in the game, preparing for the imperial examination. You will be surprised to find that what you learn and what you take are exactly the same as the ancient imperial examination!
When other gaming bloggers who were pursuing careers in politics saw this, they pulled Tao Qingxin into a "scientific examination group". A group of people worked hard every day, saying "We didn't work so hard when we were in school" while trying their best to pass the examinations for students of status and become scholars. They also gathered other players online to scold Jingshan Technology for being inhumane.

The public beta period is also a busy time for the PC game team. There are many people online and the server is under great pressure, so it needs constant maintenance. In addition, the public beta will also expose bugs that were not discovered during the internal beta, which have to be fixed one by one. So even though Liu Wangxue was in the nearby Huai City, Xu Qingsong rarely had time to visit the set in the first two months of the public beta. It was basically Gu Xuelan and Liu Nanshan who took turns to visit.

As December approached, the workload at the studio was not so heavy, so Xu Qingsong took the three kids to Huai City every weekend. However, they didn't go there many times, and the crew finished filming after New Year's Day.

This year's filming was wrapped nearly a month earlier than last year because after more than half a year of running-in last year, the crew had already formed an unspoken understanding and all work went on very smoothly.

After the wrap party, Liu Wangxue took the train back to Xishi early the next morning. Xu Qingsong went to the train station to pick her up, without the three little ones, but with a bouquet of flowers.

Arriving at the underground parking lot, after putting the luggage in the trunk, Xu Qingsong first pulled Liu Wangxue into the back seat: "Let me hug you first."

Liu Wangxue put the flowers in her hand aside, hugged Xu Qingsong back, and smiled happily: "I miss you too!"

Xu Qingsong kissed her and changed his face to act like a young wife: "Tell me, is there any couple like us who separated right after marriage, and lived apart for seven months. My God, do you know how I survived these seven months?"

Liu Wangxue sat on his lap, hugged his head and gave him a loud kiss, then said distressedly, "I'm sorry for leaving you alone in an empty room."

Xu Qingsong took the opportunity to put forward a condition: "Then from today on, you have to stay with me 24 hours a day, every day, not a minute less."

Liu Wangxue nodded and agreed: "Okay!"

Xu Qingsong continued, "It's not enough to just accompany me, you have to make it up to me."

Liu Wangxue nodded again and agreed: "Okay!"

Xu Qingsong teased her: "Why don't you ask what you want to make up for?"

Liu Wangxue cooperated: "What do you want to make up for?"

"Of course it's something that a couple should do." Xu Qingsong held her down, raised his head and kissed her, "Let me have a taste of the sweetness first."

They kissed lightly for a while and had to hurry home. Liu Nanshan and Gu Xuelan had prepared lunch and were waiting for them to come back.

In the past six months, the courtyard has changed again.

When recording the dating variety show, Liu Wangxue said that she wanted a loft like the one where the recording took place. Xu Qingsong decided right then and there that he would renovate his own house after he returned.

After Liu Wangxue went to the crew in June, Xu Qingsong took the time to go through the various procedures for self-built houses in the countryside. After the procedures were completed, he asked Du Yunkai to help contact a designer.

When Du Yunkai heard this, he called the designer who had designed the small building for Liu Wangxue. The designer had done it before and had experience. Xu Qingsong had only one requirement for the exterior and interior, which was to be consistent with the style of Liu Wangxue's. The only difference was to build a small attic on the second floor.

The design draft was quickly produced. Xu Qingsong first sent it to Liu Wangxue for review. They both felt it was almost ready, and then they discussed with Tao Huayu about hiring a construction team to build the house.

This time, when building a two-story building, Liu Wangxue participated in the whole process online, just like last time. Every time a progress was completed, Xu Qingsong would take a video and send it to her, or make a video call when they were both free.

The result after construction and decoration was almost the same as what the two had imagined.

The yard was not moved - originally the two of them had discussed making some changes, wanting to demolish the kitchen in the middle and move it to Xu Qingsong's side and rebuild it against the wall. In this way, the yards on both sides would be merged into a complete large space, and the new building on Xu Qingsong's side would not need to leave space for a kitchen, so it would be more like a place for the family to live.

Xu Qingsong's parents, who were far away in Beijing, had no objection. After all, the house had been given to their son, so they could do whatever they wanted with his wife. The only thing was that the new house must leave a room for them and their grandparents. This was self-evident. Even if they didn't mention it, Xu Qingsong and Liu Wangxue would have included it in their plans.

After discussing with Liu Nanshan and Gu Xuelan in Taojia Village, they both had no objections.

However, it was the time when the cherry trees were bearing fruit, and this cherry tree was planted against the courtyard wall. Once the soil in the yard was disturbed, the tree had to be transplanted.

Not to mention that June is not the time for transplanting, the cherry tree was planted by Xu Qingsong's great grandfather and is several decades old. If it cannot survive after transplanting, the whole family does not want to see it. In the end, the yard was not moved. Liu Nanshan asked the construction team to open a door from the kitchen to Xu Qingsong's yard, which was also considered a connection.

After the discussion, Xu Qingsong's bungalow was demolished and a two-story building was built on the original site. The first floor has a living room, a bedroom and a bathroom, and the second floor has two bedrooms and a bathroom.

The bedroom on the second floor next to Liu Wangxue's bungalow is designed in a loft style, and the wall facing the sun room is made into a floor-to-ceiling window, so there is no obstruction between the upper and lower floors on both sides.

After lunch, Liu Wangxue couldn't wait to go upstairs and downstairs and look carefully.

The style of the soft furnishings here is the same as that over there, and everything is what Liu Wangxue likes. There is also a cross-stitch of green mountains and rivers hanging in the living room, which was also embroidered by Gu Xuelan herself. It is not as large as "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains", so it did not take long to embroider. She went to the city to get the frame before New Year's Day and hung it up immediately.

In addition to cross-stitch, the living room also installed a new cat climbing frame for Xiaoci, a new dog house for Pengpeng, and a new villa for Guaguao, to ensure that the three little ones are comfortable no matter where they are.

In the afternoon, Xu Qingsong was going to the studio, and Liu Wangxue would definitely go with him. As usual, when he was working, she would sit next to him and play the game "Da Zhao 21 Cases" on her laptop.

Xu Qingsong told Liu Wangxue that Du Yunkai planned to launch the official operating version after the Spring Festival, and also to release a mobile game version, in order to attract all the target groups. The other regions will be developed slowly, and it can be foreseen that their main work will be this game for the next few years.

After playing the game for a while, Liu Wangxue took a break and went to the rest area and bar opposite to chat with Tao Huaxin, and also played with Tiantian for a while.

The two of them inevitably talked about children again, and Tao Huaxin asked her: "It's been almost a year since we last talked about it, why haven't you two made any progress yet?"

Liu Wangxue wanted to say that she had to follow the crew and it was inconvenient, but Tao Huaxin responded as if he could read her mind: "Don't use work as an excuse. You are a screenwriter, not an actor. There is only outside the play, not inside the play."

Liu Wangxue smiled. It was true that Tao Huaxin was the first person who urged her to have a baby quickly. She also knew that Tao Huaxin was thinking about her from her own experience. After all, if you plan to have a child, it is better to have it earlier.

Liu Wangxue touched the bracelet on her wrist that Shi Xi had given her. She and Xu Qingsong had never taken it off since they put it on. She thought it was time to put it on the agenda.

On the way home from get off work, Xu Qingsong asked her where she wanted to stay tonight, as if she had telepathy: "In your bedroom over there, or in the attic?"

"Of course it's in the attic," Liu Wangxue looked up at him, "Who said that the additional function of the attic is 'more convenient'?"

Xu Qingsong laughed non-stop, pretending to be ashamed and reflecting on himself: "My thoughts are really obvious."

After the wedding, they returned to Taojia Village, and Xu Qingsong moved to Liu Wangxue's place. After the new house was built, he had not lived in it yet, and Xu Qingsong was waiting for Liu Wangxue to come back.

There was nothing in the new house except furniture, so after dinner, the two of them first bought some daily necessities and some daily clothes. Liu Nanshan and Gu Xuelan also came over to take a look and told them to lock the door at night.

After her parents left, Liu Wangxue finished washing first. While Xu Qingsong was taking a shower, she locked the attic door, then opened the attic window like a thief, walked through the roof of the bungalow, returned to the bedroom opposite, and found the "Clearing the Clouds and Seeing the Moon" set that Wenxi had given her and brought it over.

While changing clothes, her heartbeat was very abnormal, especially when she held the pair of red cherries in her hands, Liu Wangxue felt her face was burning. Finally, she made up her mind and put them on. She didn't know whether it was because of the cold or the shame, but she shuddered all over.

As soon as the last button of her cheongsam was fastened, the doorknob moved, followed by a knock on the door.

Liu Wangxue was startled, and at the same time, she heard Xu Qingsong's puzzled voice coming through the door; "Xuxu?"

Liu Wangxue panicked: "Wait for me!"

She looked around and realized she had forgotten to bring a pair of high heels. She had originally wanted to pose while standing, but forget it.

Liu Wangxue patted his chest, walked to the door, and said to Xu Qingsong: "Wait a moment, come in when I say OK."

Xu Qingsong smiled: "What are you doing, are you preparing a surprise for me?"

Liu Wangxue also smiled. She was not nervous at all at this moment. She was shocked that her mentality changed so quickly: "Refuse to answer. You must agree to my request first."

Xu Qingsong leaned against the door: "Okay, I agree."

With a "click", Liu Wangxue unlocked the door. She ran back to the bed in her slippers and elegantly lay on her side, propping up her elbows to support her temples. "Okay, come in."

Xu Qingsong opened the door and came in. He found Liu Wangxue's position and stared at her. He forgot to close the door. He seemed to be stupid. His hand was still on the door handle and he stood there motionless.

Liu Wangxue felt that she had not cast a spell on him, and thought that this might be a kind of cosplay, so she raised her hand and hooked at Xu Qingsong; "Man, come here and please me~"

Xu Qingsong was brought back to his senses by this sudden "role language". He closed the door, locked it and said, "Yes, my Queen."

However, Liu Wangxue failed to hold up her elbows and fell down. She lay on the bed and laughed so hard.

As Xu Qingsong walked towards the bed, he remembered that he had seen this cheongsam before. It was three years ago when Liu Wangxue went to Beijing to record a program. He went upstairs to see her when she was packing her luggage, and he saw her standing in front of the closet, staring at the cheongsam in a daze.

Because of the angle at that time, he could only see the shoulder and neck part of the cheongsam. Thinking it should look good, he asked Liu Wangxue to wear it, but Liu Wangxue was unwilling.

It turns out that there is a reason for being unwilling.

He had lived across the street for more than half a year, and when he was cleaning his closet, he saw the box. He wondered why he hadn't been curious enough to open it and take a look. Otherwise, he would have gotten this surprise long ago!

Xu Qingsong climbed onto the edge of the bed and covered Liu Wangxue completely: "There are no condoms at home."

Liu Wangxue had not been home for more than half a year. He threw away all the things he had bought before when he found they were about to expire. He never bought new ones afterwards. Moreover, he thought that he would not need to buy any more since Liu Wangxue was back this time.

The two of them had a tacit understanding. Liu Wangxue reached out and pulled his pajamas collar to let him move closer, and whispered, "It's okay, just don't worry."

……

Xu Qingsong felt like he almost lost his soul, especially when he unbuttoned the cheongsam. He said it looked a bit strange at first.

When Wenxi gave this suit to Liu Wangxue, she said, "Isn't there a cherry tree in the yard of your Mr. Xu's house? This is called fitting the occasion, don't you understand? Men are visual animals. I guarantee that as long as you wear this suit, whenever he sees this kind of red cherry, he will definitely think of you."

Xu Qingsong didn't know what was said, but it was obvious that Wenxi was right. From then on, cheongsam and cherries became secrets in his heart.
