Xi Xinxin and Chu Quanyi stayed in this world for another year.
Xi Xinxin's reason was that her shop hadn't stabilized yet. But that wasn't the case. Chu Quanyi knew. She was just a little reluctant to give it up.
Being able to make her feel reluctant to part with it is a big step forward.
"Didn't you say there was life? What's going on then?"
Chu Quanyi made a shushing gesture: "I'll tell you when you leave."
So Xi Xinxin kept pulling and tugging at her face.
Xi Dai recently closed a big deal and was unexpectedly in a good mood. She also just received her graduation certificate. The group of them decided to get together.
She arrived at the store first and found that Xi Xinxin was not there, but she saw Chen Tongyun reading a book, her face rosy: "Are you feeling much better?"
Chen Tongyun clenched her fist and bent her arm in a strong pose: "Running five thousand meters won't be a problem even if I'm exhausted."
"Where's Xinxin? Isn't she at the shop today?" Xi Dai asked.
"Those medical teachers came looking for her again today. I don't know why they didn't want to see her, and Zhang Suxiang was the one to greet them. Then they just disappeared." Chen Tongyun pointed towards the basement, indicating that Zhang Suxiang and several medical experts were inside.
Everyone already knows about the basement incident, but only Xi Xinxin's friends and a few medical experts who keep bothering her.
Xi Dai sighed helplessly, thinking that Mei Qing was in the studio next door, so she would go and talk to her first.
Mei Qing has been feeling a bit tired in her eyes lately; it seems she's become a little nearsighted! But she doesn't really like wearing glasses, so she'll just have to buy contact lenses.
"Qingqing. Are you busy?" Xi Dai's voice made Mei Qing look away from the computer screen.
"DaiDai, how come you don't get nearsighted after playing so many video games?"
Xi Dai shrugged, indicating she didn't know either. She looked around: "Chu Quanyi isn't here either? Oh right, isn't Chu Quanyi nearsighted too? Her gold-rimmed glasses are quite nice."
Mei Qing recalled the glasses she had discovered the previous year, but she had never asked about them. She also remembered that once when she came here, Xi Xinxin and Chu Quanyi were whispering to each other.
In fact, she hadn't heard anything at all. She just knew that they were definitely hiding something from her.
Seeing Xi Dai sit down next to her, Mei Qing moved her lips and casually asked, "Does Xin Xin have any secrets with you?"
"How do you know she's already with me?" Xi Dai's joke was very awkward, and Mei Qing couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Dai Dai, you're really not good at joking."
Xi Dai smiled shyly.
"Oh ho~ It's rare to see the two of you chatting together." Chu Quanyi opened the door, followed by Xi Xinxin.
Xi Xinxin's eyebrows curved into a smile, seemingly always wearing a smile, her eyes brimming with laughter. They must have been discussing something interesting, for a smile still lingered on her lips. Strands of her hair naturally and obediently rested on her shoulders, framing the smooth lines of her face.
Xi Dai always thought that Xi Xinxin was actually prettier than Mei Qing, and the more she looked at her, the prettier she became. Sometimes she really couldn't bear to take her eyes off her.
Xi Xinxin stepped forward and apologized: "I'm sorry, Dai Dai, I missed my parents' gathering earlier."
Xi Dai knew this during this time. Xi Xinxin had been accompanying Chen Tongyun throughout her overall physical recovery.
"It's okay. Your parents aren't upset with you. You can come to the next gathering."
When Xi Dai mentioned the next gathering, Xi Xinxin and Chu Quanyi exchanged a glance but remained silent.
Xi Dai was in charge of selecting the private room and the dishes, not just the girls from the dormitory. She also invited Mu Xue and others.
As her business partner, and also as Xi Xinxin's friend.
Everyone welcomes it.
Everyone shared their current life progress and talked about the interesting things that had happened to them.
It's truly hard to imagine that these people with such different personalities could actually get along so well and find themselves so compatible.
It's late. Our reminiscing has come to an end.
Xi Dai suggested seeing the guests out first and led everyone out of the private room. Mei Qing glanced at Xi Xinxin and said, "I'll stay a little longer. I'm going back with Xi Xinxin anyway. I've been spending all my time in the studio these past few days."
The private room fell silent instantly. Only three people remained.
Mei Qing felt at that moment that if she didn't ask, she would never have another chance.
"Yiyi, you're not wearing ordinary glasses and hearing aids, are you? I want to know. Even just a little bit would be helpful." Mei Qing looked up anxiously, afraid that Chu Quanyi would be angry at her for her offense.
Xi Xinxin's smile widened at this moment, dazzling Mei Qing's eyes: "Alright. Tell me, Quan Yi. There's nothing Qingqing can't know."
"I'm sorry. I forgot a small gift box in the private room." Xi Dai rummaged through her bag. "You guys go home first."
"Xi Dai, you can't be like this. You can't become careless just because you have a career. How can you take good care of Xin Xin like this? Unlike me, I'm extremely meticulous." Xu Chacha even winked.
Yu Shuwen smiled and said, "It's rare to see Xi Dai so careless. Let me help you look for her. It'll be easier if there are two of us."
"I'll come too. There's no rush anyway."
"That's great. Let's go, let's all look for Miss Xi together."
...
The door to the private room wasn't closed yet. Xi Dai was about to open it when Chu Quanyi's voice came out, causing Xi Dai and everyone behind her to pause.
"We are not from this world..."
With a creak, the sound of the door opening was heard. Xi Xinxin instinctively turned around and saw Xi Dai and the others returning.
As if he had expected this, Chu Quanyi held up the small blue gift box in his hand: "Are you looking for this? I think you accidentally left it on the chair."
"Xinxin. In this year, more than one person has been able to leave. So..."
Chu Quanyi finished explaining everything. Of course, she omitted the fact that Xi Xinxin also had the task of "conquering" the people who came in. Well, it wasn't really a conquest. For Xi Xinxin, being nice to them was just a regular thing.
"So... who among you is willing to go back with me and Xinxin?"
After a moment of silence, someone answered. It was Xu Chacha.
“I originally had no parents and no ties. I want to be with Xinxin.”
Then Zhang Suxiang said, "Can you take me with you? I don't know if the life force you mentioned exists inside me. But I want to continue my research and learn from Xinxin."
Unlike Xu Chacha and Zhang Suxiang, most of their families are happy and harmonious.
Even though he loves Xi Xinxin, he still finds it hard to leave the place where he lives.
They find it even more difficult to accept at this time that their lives are virtual, fabricated.
“But I never thought of you as characters in a book. You are living, breathing people who have lived with me.” Xi Xinxin walked up to the group.
He stroked Xi Dai's face and said, "I'm sorry. I still can't join you for the next gathering."
