Let's walk together for the rest of our lives. If the host says to leave, she will leave.

As for dating games, it’s okay if you don’t know what to do, but once you start playing, and there happens to be a character you like in it, you can’t stop playing.

I feel uncomfortable all over if I don’t play it for a day. It really lives up to the name of this game - "Lovesickness".

Lu Wenzhou has been addicted to the game for more than a month. On this day, he logged into the game as usual, used his money power to quickly skip the boring daily tasks and directly entered the plot.

Yan Qi's voice is as beautiful as ever, and it is easy for game players to immerse themselves in the character and feel that they are having a sweet love affair with Yan Qi.

However, there is a setting that always prevents Lu Wenzhou from having an immersive experience, as he has to quote some traditional Chinese quintessence from time to time.

There were fruits scattered all over the floor. Zhou Zhou apologized to Yan Qi with red eyes: "I'm sorry, I just wanted to wash the fruits for you."

“Fuck!” Lu Wenzhou cursed, “What’s wrong with this incompetent little white flower? I…”

Eight hundred words are omitted here that cannot be expressed in words.

Lu Wenzhou was so angry that he slammed the table. He roughly untied his tie, revealing a part of his collarbone, and his chest rose and fell with slightly intense breathing.

If he became the boss of "Lovesickness", the first thing he would do is to retrain the screenwriter!

What if he was the boss?

Lu Wenzhou's eyes fell on a pile of business cards neatly placed next to the desk.

He remembered that the boss of "Xiangsi" seemed to be...last name Wang?

A month later, "Lovesickness", which received a huge investment from an investor, was finally put back online.

The game has an "Exclusive Lover" section, where you can have real-time voice interaction with your love character by making an appointment and spending a certain amount of money.

However, voice is only supported by voice actors, and gamers still need to type.

The mobile phone page slowly changed, and Zhou Zhou's room came into view.

Compared with before, the pairs of toiletries in the room, the spicy strips placed casually on the coffee table in the living room, and the intimate photos on the bedside table all indicate traces of another person's life.

Oh, by the way, Zhou Zhou is a singer, so——

Avoid spicy food.

Lu Wenzhou chose a ten-minute voice interaction and paid 520 yuan. Then, the sound of thunder came from his mobile phone and the windows were rattling with raindrops.

He pointed his finger, and Zhou Zhou on the phone made a call. Soon a familiar female voice came: "Zhou Zhou?"

Zhou Zhou, Zhou Zhou.

His heart skipped a beat. Since this was a love game, it was reasonable to say some sweet words, right?

So he typed on the mobile phone page: I want to see you.

This was a sudden thought that came to his mind, and all the opening remarks he had prepared were thrown out of his mind. The moment he heard this voice, there was only one thought in his mind: I really want to meet Yan Qi.

Although it was text, Zhou Zhou on the phone showed that he was speaking.

Gu Ling was guarding a table full of untouched food as he read the message sent by the player, somewhat surprised by his directness.

She casually glanced at the game background at the moment, and said in a gentle and soothing tone, "Wait until the rain stops, okay?"

Although I know that the person on the other side is coaxing me, the other party's gentle tone is really irresistible.

Lu Wenzhou had no intention of resisting. After all, it was just a game.

Zhou Zhou: Not good.

"Zhou Zhou." She called his name helplessly.

Zhou Zhou: Actually, I added one extra word in the previous sentence, “see” was missing.

It's not that I want to see you, it's that -

I want you.

Lu Wenzhou hadn't heard her voice for a whole month. During the month of game maintenance, Lu Wenzhou thought about her all the time.

Thinking like crazy.

Seeing these words, Gu Ling smiled silently.

"I miss Zhou Zhou, too. But..." Her voice seemed a little distressed, "It's raining and stormy outside. What if you get lost and I can't find you?"

Lu Wenzhou: “…” He has a normal IQ and healthy limbs. As a reliable adult male, it is impossible for him to get lost!

Gu Ling stretched out his fingers and drew circles on the table. He looked careless, but he said softly, "Zhou Zhou, don't make me worry!"

In terms of whose words were the most disgusting, Lu Wenzhou felt that he had lost. Why did he lose?

Maybe it was because the other party's tone was too gentle, and he was just typing, so he was somewhat inferior to Yan Qi.

Zhou Zhou: Wow, you like me so much?

"I like you~Zhou Zhou."

The words were spoken softly and quietly, but Lu Wenzhou felt as if he had eaten a piece of greasy honey, as if he had suddenly fallen into a dreamy candy house, and the sweet scent of candy seemed to fill his nostrils.

He licked his dry lips, picked up the coffee beside him and took a sip. The bitter and mellow taste brought him a sense of reality.

This love story seems to be a bit sweet.

He didn't speak for a while. Gu Ling reflected on whether he had scared the other person by speaking too bluntly, so he easily changed the subject: "What are you doing?"

Lu Wenzhou subconsciously wanted to answer that he was going to work, but suddenly realized that the other party was asking about Zhou Zhou. He frowned slightly and felt a little uncomfortable.

Zhou Zhou: Practicing singing.

Zhou Zhou goes to the bar to sing at night and rests during the day. If he has time, he will practice singing or composing music at home.

The pale words could not express Lu Wenzhou's mood. Gu Ling said without noticing: "Zhou Zhou's singing voice must be very nice. I want to hear you sing."

This is just talk. "Xiangsi" does not yet support two-way voice interaction between players and characters.

Lu Wenzhou also knew this. At this moment, he did not think that it was a big deal that he could not talk to Yan Qi. Instead, he felt a little gloating because of the subtle dissatisfaction in his heart at the moment.

Because in this way, he can openly deal with the person he is dealing with.

Zhou Zhou: If you don’t come, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, it will be powerless. It will rush in at first, and then disappear in a cloud of dust. If you don’t come, no matter how beautiful the world is, it will be in ruins.

Gu Ling was stunned at first, then realized that this was a verse of lyrics, and the other party was actually "singing" to her.

In the game, Zhou Zhou was indeed singing, although it was a text version.

Gu Ling always felt that the players "sang" to her even though they knew she couldn't speak, which was a serious perfunctory gesture.

Just...kind of cute.

Gu Ling was not at all nervous and said, "You sang really beautifully."

Lu Wenzhou: “…” This guy is really good at telling lies with his eyes open.

"Is Zhou Zhou confessing his feelings to me?"

Lu Wenzhou was puzzled, wondering how the other party could tell that these perfunctory words were a confession.

Gu Ling spoke in a lively tone, with a rising ending tone: "'Nothing is worse than You', Zhou Zhou and I are really in tune with each other!"

Lu Wenzhou blushed. He just posted the lyrics casually and never thought there would be such a thing.

But before he could respond, the ten minutes were up.

Gu Ling put down his phone to eat. Not long after, his phone rang again. The player on the other side was renewing his subscription. This time the subscription was for one hour. If he remembered correctly, the price was 999.

Gu Ling quickly ate a few more mouthfuls of rice and swallowed them before picking up his phone.

The moment they hung up the phone, Lu Wenzhou renewed the call and chose to have an hour of interaction, but Gu Ling took several minutes to answer, which made Lu Wenzhou a little confused.

Zhou Zhou: What are you doing?

If it was according to the setting in the game, Yan Qi, who was working in the gym, was waiting for the rain to stop, but now Gu Ling didn't want to chat, she just wanted to eat.

"I think you should go eat now instead of chatting with me." Gu Ling avoided answering and sighed imperceptibly, "It's already 6:30 in the afternoon."

If Gu Ling had not added the last sentence, Lu Wenzhou would have thought that Yan Qi was concerned about him. After adding the time, he suddenly realized that the person opposite him was not Yan Qi, but a humble worker who was forced to work overtime.

After all, the time displayed in the game is five forty.

The company closed at six o'clock, but Lu Wenzhou, the boss, did not leave. His employees did not dare to leave either, and they all stared at the office door.

Lu Wenzhou stood up and finally planned to go home.

While Lu Wenzhou was silent, Gu Ling put his phone away and started eating.

While sitting in the elevator, Lu Wenzhou took the time to ask: Are you eating?

Gu Ling was unsure whether the player had understood her hint or not, and didn't know whether he was asking Yan Qi or her, so she said, "I think we should eat now."

Lu Wenzhou noticed the cautious attitude of the other party and continued typing: Actually, I don’t mind you chatting with me while eating.

He is quite tolerant of his paper lover.

The elevator opened and Lu Wenzhou went to the parking lot to drive.

Thanks to Yan Qi, he is very hungry now and wants to go home for dinner.

Gu Ling is not a person who likes to put herself in a difficult position, so when the other party said that, she really listened.

"Why are not you talking?"

Gu Ling was eating something, and his voice was a little unclear, not as seductive as usual, and a little more real.

Before driving, Lu Wenzhou replied to her: I'm off work, I'm going to drive home for dinner, I've turned on my Bluetooth, you can talk to me for a few more words.

It's just after get off work, and this guy seems to be more miserable than her. As they are both workers at Tianya, Gu Ling's resentment about having to work overtime while eating has dissipated a little.

Lu Wenzhou did not reply afterwards. Gu Ling did not want to talk while eating, and only said a few words occasionally to avoid awkward silence.

After finishing this difficult meal, Gu Ling began to work hard.

However, she does not intend to reveal her real life, and has no interest in the identity of a player. It seems a bit strange to say sweet words to one person.

After thinking for a while, she took out a book of fairy tales.

She still used Yan Qi's voice, but it was less deliberately seductive, and her tone was calm and gentle, with a hint of playfulness when she read the dialogues between the characters.

It's a different feeling again.

Lu Wenzhou listened to Gu Ling's gentle voice, thinking about her previous secret reminders and the vague tone of her voice during the meal, and felt that this paper figure Yan Qi was not so far away.

If before he just wanted to listen to Yan Qi's voice a few more times, now Lu Wenzhou has developed some interest in Yan Qi.

He wanted to understand her a little bit.

The pale paper man seemed to be injected with vitality and suddenly became vivid. He thought of the slogan of "Xiang Si" again:

The data is fake, but the longing is real.

Gu Ling was tired from reading and stopped to drink some water, just as Lu Wenzhou arrived home.

However, he looked at the empty refrigerator in silence for a while, then turned around and took out a bucket of instant noodles.

Gu Ling stopped talking, but she was not idle either. She was bargaining with her bread and butter.

Chatting with customers is not something that everyone can do. Not only do you have to pay attention to the customers' emotions at all times and make them feel at home, you also have to work overtime from time to time.

It's really tiring to make this money.

She is a voice actor, not a chat companion. There is no fixed script for Exclusive Lover, and it all depends on Gu Ling's improvisation. It would be better to say that the person who talks to the player is Gu Ling rather than Yan Qi.

What's more, Yan Qi's personality is somewhat similar to Gu Ling's, so Gu Ling has no pressure in playing the role.

This kind of work does not require her to figure out the character's image. She just needs to put on a shallow shell and maintain the character's voice. Doing so will not improve her dubbing skills at all.

After Gu Ling came to this world, his dubbing skills improved greatly and his income gradually stabilized, so the rather useless job of "Lovesickness" seemed less important.

Gu Ling is reducing his working hours at "Xiangsi".

After some bargaining, the revenue generated by the "exclusive lover" service was deducted from the cost and split with Gu Ling in a 3:7 ratio. Although the pay was small, Gu Ling now had fixed working hours and the chatting service was from 7:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m. and from 5:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m.

Although it seems like a long time, the same thing applies: not everyone is willing to spend huge amounts of money on a paper man.

Zhou Zhou: What to do if the instant noodles don’t have a seasoning packet?

Huh? These days, there are still people who eat instant noodles without seasoning packets?

Gu Ling felt extremely sympathetic towards this player. Not only was he being exploited by his unscrupulous boss, but he could only eat instant noodles when he got home, and there wasn't even a seasoning packet.

Gu Ling tried to suppress his smile: "You can add a little salt and hot sauce."

Lu Wenzhou heard her hidden smile and sighed: Laugh if you want to.

Gu Ling really laughed. Happiness is built on the suffering of others.

Gu Ling saw that the time was almost up. In order to prevent the other party from placing another order with her, she said, "Yueliang said that she wanted to go to bed early with me today."

Lu Wenzhou understood, but he pretended not to understand: Who is Yueyue? You really have a dog outside.

Gu Ling did not refute or explain, and said at the last minute, "Zhou Zhou, see you next time."

The interaction ends.

Lu Wenzhou looked at the blackened mobile phone page, feeling inexplicably lost.
