What It’s Like Being a Vampire

It is now late February, and the temperature in Star City has warmed up a lot. It's around 11 o'clock in the evening, and it's still around 10 degrees Celsius.

The wind wasn't too strong by the river, so the four of us walked around and wrapped our coats tightly, so we didn't feel cold at all.

At the beginning, Yang Zhener was chattering about how cute and cute the "egg yolk pie" of the little fat girl's family was, and discussed with Tang Baona whether they should buy a cat to raise, whether it was a British shorthair cat or an American cat. Short, Garfield, Ragdoll, Little Fox, or simply adopt a stray cat?

However, while chatting, Yang Zhener's attention shifted to the river after Xia Libing seemed to casually mention the view of the river under the moon.

"The river view here is really good. During the day, we didn't pay much attention to it." Yang Zhener sighed while looking at the moon reflected on the river.

"I remember that the city where you studied in college also had a riverside road with a good view of the river." Xia Libing seemed to mention it casually.

"Yes... that's right, Nana, Lao Xia, do you still remember when I graduated from college and asked you to come over and play together? The three of us, and my three sisters in the college dormitory, six of us, were together in Jiang We ate at a food stall, and then sang together in front of the river. Alas... except for Lao Xia, who was so hard-hearted, everyone else cried while singing, with runny noses and tears. It was embarrassing... No, it was touching..."

Yang Zhener sniffed and said with emotion: "Nana, what was the name of the song we sang at that time, which was particularly easy to cry about? They are all old, right~~~ They are in Lali~ ?”

Tang Baona smiled and said: "It's "Those Flowers". I was singing along with you at that time. I also remembered the scene when I graduated. It was quite sad. Alas, the sisters in my dormitory have not been together for a long time. ”

As she said that, she also started humming softly: "That laughter reminded me of my flowers, which were blooming for me quietly in every corner of my life. I thought I would stay with her forever." Beside you, today we have left in the vast sea of ​​people~"

Even Xia Libing hummed softly. While humming, he glanced at Xiang Kun from the corner of his eye.

Xiang Kun understood Lao Xia's intention instantly——

It must be because he said before that listening to Tang Baona's songs is particularly easy to arouse emotions, so Lao Xia deliberately wanted to use the riverside environment to affect the emotions of Yang Zhener and Tang Baona, so that they could recall the scene when they graduated, and then... He was moved by the emotion, and even hummed a song like before, to stimulate his emotions. And because of the effect of "emotional assimilation", Lao Xia could also experience that feeling.

The three girls stood side by side and sang "Those Flowers" twice, swaying from side to side.

She started singing "You Were a Boy" again. This song happened to be released the year Tang Baona graduated. It caught up with the graduation season and was particularly popular. Later, when Yang Zhener graduated, they also sang along with their roommates on the river bank, and they all burst into tears.

Of course, except Lao Xia.

Yang Zhener suddenly noticed Xiang Kun, who was looking at the river with a smile on his face, and said, "Chef Xiang, when you graduated from college, did you hold your arms and cry with Brother Bin and Zicheng? Let me see how your dormitory is. The relationship between brothers is quite good!"

Xiang Kun noticed that Lao Xia glanced at his cousin. Although the look in his eyes was still the same as usual and showed no emotion, he understood that Lao Xia probably secretly praised Yang Zhener in his heart.

Obviously, Lao Xia hoped that Yang Zhen'er's question would help him better integrate into his emotions, and he would also reminisce about his school days together to see if he could "emotionally assimilate".

Xiang Kun also cooperated and recalled what Yang Zhener said: "I remember that the four of us in the dormitory had small stir-fries together outside. Abin drank four bottles of beer with another roommate of ours, and Zicheng and I drank Coke, and then bragging together, oh yes, at that time Zi Cheng was definitely going to study abroad, and he was bragging to us that he wanted to find a blonde beauty to be his girlfriend, like Scarlett Johansson, hey... Anyway, I remember the atmosphere was quite joyful, and then we ate After dinner, Abin took the train that night and left first. Another roommate was going to accompany his girlfriend. Zicheng and I went back to the dormitory and played games all night. When I woke up, packed my luggage and left, Zichengdu was still there. Didn’t wake up…”

Yang Zhener asked curiously: "You said you were bragging when you were eating, so what kind of bragging were you bragging to the chef?"

"Am I bragging?" Xiang Kun recalled with a smile: "I said that one day I will lead people to develop a software that everyone can't live without, and develop a game that everyone wants to play. Anyway, it is bragging. Well...Chang Bin also said that he wants to buy an island, and then invite us to go fishing and hunting on the island when he has nothing to do."

"Don't tell me, now you seem to be not far away from the awesome thing you are bragging about! Our game may really become a 'game that everyone wants to play' in the future!" Tang Baona said with a smile.

"Yes! Yes! There is really hope!" Yang Zhener nodded repeatedly, her eyes shining, as if she saw herself becoming a beautiful president and CEO.

Xiang Kun smiled and said: "Although I am very confident in that game, we still have to recognize the reality. Our game actually has many limitations. At least it cannot allow players to use fragmented time. , it takes at least half an hour to play a game, and it requires a relatively quiet voice environment, which is very immersive. However... this is just the beginning after all, we can develop more games or related applications in the future..."

Ever since, the topic has suddenly shifted from graduation sentiments to the gaming field.

After chatting, we arrived at the hotel.

Although Lao Xia's expression remained unchanged, Xiang Kun knew that she must be a little disappointed because she failed to trigger "emotional assimilation" and experience the emotions of graduation and farewell from friends.

In fact, after Xiang Kun judged Lao Xia's intention, he also thought about cooperating. But on the one hand, he didn't feel any sadness or regret when he graduated from college or high school. He had met Chang Bin and Zicheng frequently recently, so it was difficult to empathize with them. On the other hand, most of his attention was actually on the river.

I don't know why, but from the moment he started walking by the river, the sound of the water on the river attracted his attention inexplicably. The sound of the water seemed to contain a lot of information.

This information could actually be obtained through his previous senses, but other than the information about the water lapping at the river bank or the ships sailing on the river, he didn't think it had any special meaning.

But now this information made him vaguely feel that it expressed more content. He speculated that it was because of the sensory variation caused by swallowing the "mutated parasite" this time.

So Xiang Kun walked, "listened" to the river, and secretly threw four "super-connected object" balls into the river.

Through these four beads, Xiang Kun further expanded the magnetic field, and then used magnetic field feedback to expand the scope of his information collection, extending his "tentacles" to the entire river and even into the river.

It wasn't until he was approaching the hotel that Xiang Kun quietly took back the four "Super Linked Object" balls.

It was precisely because he was distracted that even if he wanted to cooperate with Lao Xia, feel sad about the spring and autumn, miss his college days, and feel the sadness of graduation, he couldn't do it.

Emotions...are really not that easy to get into.

When they arrived at the hotel, Xiang Kun originally planned to open an extra standard room for Tang Baona and Yang Zhener, but they refused directly and wanted to squeeze in a room with Lao Xia.

So Tang Baona, Yang Zhener, and Xia Libing slept on two beds, while Xiang Kun occupied two beds alone.

After saying good night to the three girls, Xiang Kun returned to his room, went directly to the bathroom, filled the sink with water, and then sunk his head in.

After a long time, Xiang Kun raised his head from the water, wiped the water from his face, looked at himself in the mirror, and frowned.

He looked and saw that the standard room here only had a shower room and no bathtub, so he thought for a while, checked the map on his phone, recalled what he had just observed on the riverside, pulled out the room card, and left the room.
