Before getting the virtual dream device, Chen Xu lived a very Buddhist life. He didn't need a girlfriend, didn't argue with others, and did his job well. In life, he found some entertainment activities that he was interested in and could afford, such as reading novels, watching movies, watching short videos, playing Werewolf...
Life is easy and comfortable.
Doesn't he want to find a pretty and lovely girl and have a sweet and thoughtful love affair?
Doesn’t he want to be successful in his career, make a lot of money, pay off his family’s debts, and buy a house and a car?
No, the reason why he became so Buddhist was because he knew how painful it was to not get what you wanted and to be powerless to do anything.
After entering the society, the continuous setbacks made him become more Buddhist, working seriously and living a relaxed life. As for the rest, he just let it go. Maybe when the time comes, the girl will appear. His boss will also appreciate his work.
Although he is a Buddhist, he remains optimistic about life.
He is very lucky to live in this era where one can live a good life alone even if he is not good at interacting with others.
Until he got the virtual dream device, everything became different.
Be it love or career, everything went very smoothly. Even though there were some twists and turns along the way, the fact that outstanding women like Luo Xiyun, Yang Jinxia and Bai Jinxuan had feelings for him was something he had only dreamed about.
Could it be that things have gone so smoothly this year that you have become inflated?
At this moment, Chen Xu looked at Luo Xiyun's back as he packed up his things, and this thought couldn't help but come to his mind.
This silence lasted for several minutes.
Suddenly, Luo Xiyun, who had his back to him, threw away the clothes in his hand, propped up the chair with his hands, and said angrily, "Aren't you going to say something?"
Chen Xu had thought of many things to say, but after seeing her, he couldn't say them at all. It was impossible to fool someone like Luo Xiyun with just a few words.
He grabbed the bed sheet tightly and finally said, "What I said to you this morning, I meant it."
He obviously looked at her, and her body became a little stiff.
After a while, she asked, "Where are the two women?"
There was another unspeakable silence. "Do you love them too?" She sneered.
Chen Xu spoke again, and this time, he directly asked her to stay, "Can you please not leave?"
"You can only choose one." Luo Xiyun stood up straight, his voice a little cold, "I can let go of the past, as long as you cut off all ties with them and no longer have any contact with them. Between me and them, who do you choose?"
Do I have a choice?
Chen Xu thought about Yang Jinxia and Bai Jinxuan, and felt that the answer was of great weight.
As time passed by, the atmosphere in the ward became increasingly heavy and depressing in silence.
"You don't want to choose, right?" Luo Xiyun's voice became a little hoarse, and she raised her head, "Then I'll help you choose, and we're done." After saying that, she bent down, closed the suitcase, and walked out with it.
From beginning to end, she never looked back at Chen Xu.
When she was about to reach the door, Chen Xu said, "I said, no matter what happens, I will never let you leave me."
Luo Xiyun paused, opened the door and left.
The door slammed shut.
He silently took out his phone and dialed a number, "Liu Yumeng, take good care of Xiyun during this period. She just left the hospital..."
After saying that, he hung up the phone, ignoring the questions and threats from the other end.
He threw his phone away, lay down on the hospital bed, looked at the ceiling, thought about her words "We're finished", and realized that he might lose her forever.
…………
Outside the door, after Luo Xiyun closed the door, all the strength seemed to be drained from her body. She leaned her back against the door and covered her mouth and nose with her hands. She gasped heavily several times, stood firm again, held the suitcase handle with one hand and the wall with the other, and slowly walked towards the bathroom at the end of the corridor.
After entering the bathroom, she locked the door. Unable to hold on any longer, she squatted on the ground, tears streaming down her face. The phone in her pocket kept ringing, but she didn't respond, as if she didn't hear it.
There were few people using the restroom late at night, and no one disturbed her.
After an unknown amount of time, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly sounded outside, "Xiyun..."
It was Liu Yumeng's voice. Along with the sound of the door being pushed open, the door of the toilet next door was pushed open. Soon she was outside her room, knocking on the door and shouting, "Xiyun, are you in there?"
She stood up slowly, her legs feeling a little numb. She rubbed her eyes hard before reaching out to pull the bolt open.
"Xiyun..." After the door opened, Liu Yumeng breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her and asked, "Are you okay?"
As she spoke, she saw that her eyes were red and swollen, obviously she had been crying. She couldn't help but get angry and said, "Did that bastard bully you? Which ward is he in? I'm going to settle the score with him."
"No." Luo Xiyun held her back.
Liu Yumeng was almost mad, "It's already this time, and you are still helping him?"
Luo Xiyun lowered his head and said in a hoarse voice, "I don't want to see him again. Let's go."
Liu Yumeng was stunned. "You... broke up?"
separate?
Hearing this word, Luo Xiyun stopped and tears fell from his eyes again.
"That damn guy..." Liu Yumeng understood immediately after seeing her reaction, "Did he do something to offend you? I'm going to kill him."
"Let's go."
Luo Xiyun sniffed, wiped her tears with her hand, pulled her and walked out.
…………
Chen Xu opened the interface of the virtual dream device, then clicked on the personal panel, looked at the playmate column, and asked, "If my three playmates don't sign the agreement, will I be unable to connect them to the dream in the future?"
The familiar electronic voice said, "Yes."
He felt a little sad when he heard this answer. He remembered clearly that after Luo Xiyun read the agreement, he kept questioning him and did not sign the agreement at all.
Is this the end of everything? He clicked on the playmates column with some discomfort, stared at it for a while, and suddenly asked, "Why are all the avatars above lit up?"
