Chapter 146 The Paper "Lover" is a Little Busy (Part 6)

An Nannan felt a surge of tenderness in her chest that she couldn't quite explain. Her reason told her that no matter how closely the paper doll Si Yisi resembled a human, it was still just an existing program. He couldn't offer her any more comfort, and the idea that she could rely on him was just empty words.

But what about emotionally?

She was truly comforted.

It was even gentler than a breeze on the face, leaving a slightly tingling sensation in the heart.

He was right. An Nannan agreed with Si Yisi in her heart. It was too tiring for her to fight all by herself... Although she had always worked hard silently since she was a child, without relying on her family and friends, An Nannan had to admit that she always felt a kind of exhaustion that was hard to express.

"Nannan, what's wrong?"

The sound of a key turning came from the doorway, and An Nannan's grandmother, Qiao Huixin, walked in, leaning on her cane.

In fact, the cane was almost just an ornament. Qiao Huixin, whose hair was silver but whose spirit was very good, noticed the tear stains at the corners of An Nannan's eyes at a glance.

“I…Grandma,” An Nannan hesitated for a moment before finally speaking haltingly, “My ex-boyfriend from college is still harassing me.”

"He's a pervert. He collected my private photos, and even after we broke up, he kept spreading rumors about me and even came to my house..."

Qiao Huixin's expression immediately turned serious: "Nannan, are you telling the truth?"

She was just an ordinary old lady, but when it came to her granddaughter, it was as if her sore spot had been touched: "Which blind fool dares to look down on this old woman..."

“No!” An Nannan retorted, “I… I have a way to deal with that guy.”

An Nannan had the courage to be honest, but it was far from enough, Si Yisi thought.

She is gradually gaining strength, and this gradually cultivated strength will become the source of An Nannan's confidence in the future.

At that time—she will reveal the ruthlessness she has never shown to others.

I'm waiting for that day... Nan Nan. Si Yisi raised her eyebrows slightly, looking at An Nan Nan through the screen.

"Okay." Qiao Huixin had never seen her granddaughter so resolute before. She changed the subject, "But I need to talk to your counselor when I return to school."

"Look... who's the blind fool who's so disgusting!"

"By the way, he even dared to come to our house?!" Qiao Huixin didn't want to dwell on how long An Nannan had kept it from her, only instructing her, "If he does anything rash next time, smash him with whatever's around you!"

"Smash it hard on his eyes and other areas!" Qiao Hui said angrily.

“Okay, Grandma,” An Nannan replied with a smile.

The school holiday ended quickly, and An Nannan returned to school. As soon as she arrived, her best friend Tang Yunlan grabbed her arm.

Did you see my text message?

As soon as Tang Yunlan grabbed An Nannan's arm, she subconsciously felt that something was different. Her eyes widened as she stared at An Nannan's exposed arm, and her voice changed.

"Nannan, how come you've changed so much in just a few days? Tsk tsk tsk, your arms have gotten so much stronger!"

"Huh?" An Nannan exclaimed in confusion, looking down at her arm.

Something really seems different; a thin layer of muscle seems to have appeared on my arms.

Si Yisi smiled, concealing his merits and fame.

An Nannan subconsciously replied, "It's probably because of that virtual paper lover game you recommended to me..."

"It is my gospel."

Who can say otherwise? Sometimes An Nannan also felt that the game was secretly changing or manipulating something, and her luck seemed to improve after it appeared.

Life is also undergoing positive changes quietly.

"The game that Yunlan recommended to me is really fun... He also talks to me and helps me solve my problems, just like a real person."

"Huh?" Tang Yunlan was completely bewildered. When communicating with the little paper figures, weren't they only able to make vague, soft noises?

Like birds singing beautifully, or cats crouching and emitting lazy meows, it sounds pleasant, but no one can understand a single word.

Aren't they playing the same game?

An Nannan seemed to want Tang Yunlan to greet Si Yisi, but Si Yisi presented the most harmless state in front of the screen, successfully disguising himself as a little paper doll that was not unusual.

He heard An Nannan sigh and say to Tang Yunlan, "He's probably... shy."

Without Si Yisi's cooperation, Tang Yunlan quickly changed the subject back.

"Listen to me, according to your ex-boyfriend's roommates, when that guy surnamed Yang went back, he threw all the photos of you that he had collected into the trash... Tsk tsk tsk, he looked like he had been secretly beaten up."

"They also heard Yang Muyan muttering that you hit him... Bah! Taking the dark path, you finally saw a ghost!"

I hit him?

Something vibrant was throbbing in An Nannan's heart, thump, thump.

Yang Muyan is not an insurmountable barrier. The fact that he dreams or feels that I hit him shows that he is not without weaknesses!

I might... actually be able to teach him a lesson! As long as this pace continues, I'm sure I can perfectly achieve my goal!

Si Yisi seemed to hear An Nannan's rapidly beating heartbeat. He smiled slightly and took the initiative to find a paper doll in the app whose mood value had dropped to negative.

Si Yisi herself was also a little black person, and the two little black people met face to face.

Although they were about the same size, Si Yisi's spirit far surpassed that of the other little paper doll. He was calm and composed, with no trace of worry between his brows.

Or perhaps... another way of saying "victory is assured".

An Nannan's matter was simple to resolve, so Si Yisi decided to start a side business—he no longer waited to fleece the little paper doll Xiao Xigua, but instead contacted several other little paper dolls based on Luo Xiao's wishes.

The reason these little paper figures are depressed does not come from themselves, but seems to come from the outside world!

The little paper doll gritted his teeth and said, "Please save my 'lover,' she's been locked up by her family and forced to marry a man thirty years her senior!"

The first one.

The university students all returned slowly, but An Nannan didn't see one of her roommates, Cheng Jingliu.

"What did Jingliu say? She's sick and took leave to come?" An Nannan asked subconsciously, then looked down and saw Si Yisi's mood value suddenly plummet on her phone screen!

The "lover" mentioned by the little black paper figure refers to Cheng Jingliu, An Nannan's roommate who was absent due to leave!

No wonder Tang Yunlan recommended this app to An Nannan, and naturally she would recommend it to her other roommates as well.

Besides, the game "Virtual Paper Lovers" is based on geographical boundaries, so it's normal for people to be close to each other.

Si Yisi never expected such a coincidence!

However, this also greatly facilitated Si Yisi's actions... He hardly needed to deliberately search for people.

"What's wrong? Are you in a bad mood?" An Nannan asked Si Yisi in a normal conversational tone, while casually planting a small packet of lucky clover seeds.

Si Yisi didn't avoid An Nannan and said directly, "Cheng Jingliu isn't sick."

He was so certain that An Nannan felt as if her long-held belief had been confirmed.

"What did you say? Little Watermelon... are you really just a two-dimensional character?" An Nannan's eyes were filled with doubt, and at the same time, a little anxious.

She feared that Si Yisi approached her with ulterior motives, and that all the reassurances were merely a way to numb her.

“If you want me to be human, then I am human.” Si Yisi didn’t avoid An Nannan’s probing gaze at all, but just stared at her calmly.

Just looking at him gives one a sense of calm and peace of mind... even if he is just a rough little paper figure.

Some qualities cannot be transferred or erased because of changes in the body; they are unique charms imprinted on the soul.

"I trust you."

An Nannan turned her face away and asked her roommates in a heavy tone, "Do you guys think Jingliu is the type of person who skips school because she's sick?"

She was a model student; even with a high fever, she insisted on attending classes. Her roommates had to force her to stay in bed several times to prevent her from going.

An Nannan subconsciously knew something was wrong, but no one deliberately guided her—

“Yes…” Tang Yunlan sniffed, “I tried to contact her by phone yesterday but she didn’t reply.”

"Maybe her family felt sorry for her and asked the counselor for leave?" Tian Tian came up with a reason.

"Why don't we ask Jingliu's family?" Tang Yunlan was undoubtedly a woman of action, and she did exactly what she said she would do.

Tang Yunlan knew her home phone number; someone answered it shortly after she called.

Although Cheng Jingliu's family was a rural family according to the little paper doll, their economic conditions were not bad. Logically speaking, it was impossible for them to sell their daughter, who was already able to earn money, for a dowry.

From what the little paper doll said, we know that just a few days ago, Cheng Jingliu and her family had a harmonious phone conversation, but as soon as she went back...

Her family then placed her under house arrest.

The "harmonious call" might be a conciliatory policy, intended to subtly deceive Cheng Jingliu.

But Si Yisi's heart was screaming that it wasn't like that—if

Cheng Jingliu's family hadn't originally planned this, but they changed their minds at the last minute.

According to the information provided by the paper doll, before Cheng Jingliu was placed under house arrest, the landline at home rang more than once.

He also noticed the secretive actions of Cheng Jingliu's family and sensed that they were deliberately lowering their voices.

After eliminating all the impossibilities, what you get is very likely the truth!

On the other end, Tang Yunlan spoke politely and with a smile to Cheng Jingliu's family. A moment later, she hung up the phone, and the smile vanished instantly.

She said with a serious expression, "I think... something really happened to her!"
