Middle-aged Love Patch

 This was what Xu Youyuan originally intended for “Reshaping The Universe.”

“Yes, there is work.” Cang Lu said as she pressed the unlit cigarette to her lips.

“And?”

“I’m afraid you can’t do it.”

“It’s not like you’re going to ask me to murder people, right?” Xu Youyuan retorted.

“How can I?” Cang Lu smiled, “Although your sister Lu has done a lot of jobs and made a lot of money from gray areas, it is not to the point of doing blatantly illegal crimes.
I do have a job for you, and it’s your old job.”

“Making games?”

Cang Lu nodded.

“Then what game can’t I make?”

Cang Lu’s smiling eyes circled around Xu Youyuan’s face, before  she threw out two words with some derisive meaning: “Love Games .”

Xu Youyuan froze for two seconds as the parting words of her ex-wife hit her heart hard.

“You don’t even know what love is now.
.”

Cang Lu is a busy person.
If her friends threw a party ten times, she would attend once, only to just talk about business.
After leaving some profit to her friends, she would quickly disappear.
She is not married, not in love, and not doing anything to delay her money earning.
Right now, she is the type of person whom young women are envious of and aspire to be like the most.

She has been featured in many magazines and has been interviewed numerous times, so her golden words of being single have been circulated everywhere on the internet.

She could probably lead a project by herself even at 80 years old.
For such a hardworking role model, the only thing that could be difficult for her is “love”.

“The market is like a cycle.” Cang Lu finished her makeup, then leaned on Xu Youyuan second-hand sofa, which was quite soft and comfortable, “For so many years, players have been playing your sandbox game, shooting birds in the sky, catching fish in the sea, busy seizing planets, developing planets, and building the universe.
They would eventually get burnt out and long for something new.
Earlier, I had an  idea to do a holographic love game, a retro EDU, a nurturing type of game.”

Xu Youyuan thought for a while and nodded: “Good idea.
Even now, a large number of people do not want to get married, but love will always be a human need.
It’s been a long time since the last love game has been a hit, so if you can make a good one, the possibility of bringing back the trend is high.
Have you already done the market research?”

“Do you think your sister Lu looks like a fool who only works by intuition? The project team is almost finished.”

“So you’re just short of the master planner? You’ve messed up the order.”

“No, I had a suitable candidate for the master planner a long time ago, and just now I even made a joke with her.
Youyuan, ” Cang Lu grabbed her arm and said with certainty, “You’re that person.”

“Boss Lu  asked you, who just got divorced, to make a love game?” Shi Ye also thought it was a bit hard to digest when she heard this, ” Does she not know what happened between you and Xiao An?”

“She should , considering  her good relationship with Xiao An .
It is said that this time, she was the one who helped Xiao An go abroad.”

“Then she ……” Shi Ye thought about it again and said, “In the industry’s view, the only person who brought the game world into a new era, with an eye-opening experience, is you.
In fact, Boss Lu had intended to hire you for a long time, right? It’s just that you used to be so prosperous in SQUALL that she couldn’t poach you directly.
So what do you think about this matter? Even I, a layman, can see that this incident  is a good opportunity.”

“Yes, I have talked to Sister Lu in detail, it indeed is a good opportunity for me to turn over.
Now, she is the only one who dares to use me and is not afraid of getting into trouble.” Xu Youyuan paused here, then added, “so I have no intention to refuse, I want to try it, I want to try to rediscover the feeling of falling in love and make a good game.”

She finally got to the point. 

“So you were looking for someone to fall in love with? And found my sister?” Shi Ye was confused.
“When did you two meet ? She has been busy after returning to China, going out early in the morning and back late at night.
There is no time for her to……” Shi Ye paused, organizing her thoughts, and suddenly came to a realization.

“In fact, her time is not all spent on work, right?”

Xu Youyuan: “Why’re you asking me?”

“Doesn’t she spend all her evenings on a date with you?”

“I’ve only met her once before today!” Xu Youyuan said angrily, “The other times can’t really be considered ‘meetings’!”

“Can’t really be considered meetings?” Shi Ye did not understand.

Xu Youyuan looked at her out of the corner of her eye: “I saw her in “Darkroom”.”

Hearing the word “Darkroom”, Shi Ye’s face changed to six different colors in one second, and wanted to scream, but was pushed back by reason: “Damn you, Xu Youyuan, you’re a beast, harming my sister in that place! Are you even human?!”

Xu Youyuan was completely unmoved: “Shut up and listen carefully, you will see your good sister in a different light after this.”
