Li Yue lay in bed, unable to fall asleep no matter what she did.
"Liyue, I love you to death..." kept playing in my mind.
Li Yue took a deep breath and tried to lull herself to sleep again, but her mind kept having its own thoughts.
It was watching the slideshow by itself, enjoying its own happiness.
One moment it's her pale ankle in my palm, the next it's the hot hand around my waist as she supports me, and then it's her hamster-like face with her head down, engrossed in eating.
"I'm really crazy."
Li Yue couldn't sleep, so she went to the bathroom to take a shower to help her fall asleep.
Yun Lian paused in her game when she heard the sound of running water in the bathroom.
"Tsk, no wonder he's the campus heartthrob. With that level of cleanliness, who else would like him if not her?"
003 wanted to complain, but couldn't utter a sound, feeling extremely frustrated.
It doesn't want to say anything.
The moment it saw its host secretly taking the moisturizing pill to make its tears look better, it began to doubt the system's existence.
"Ugh... noob teammates, dragging me down again! If you can't play, don't play! I'm here to play games, not to watch you two show off your love! You dog couple!"
Yun Lian played her voice aloud, and almost everyone on the opposing team and her teammates could hear her.
"They use a skill, and you flash in to catch it? What's wrong with you? Are you asking for a beating?"
"Hey sis, can't you just hide in the bushes when you recall? Why do you have to recall in the enemy jungle? Are you afraid of having to go home?"
She had a fierce voice and a sharp tongue. The teammate who was being scolded initially argued back, but later she made him cry.
After finishing the game, Yun Lian felt like she was about to explode with anger.
He felt a little better after using all of the original owner's savings to buy stocks.
"Games are definitely not for me; I'm only good at making money."
Yun Lian muttered to herself, not hearing 003's voice for a while, and asked hesitantly, "San'er, you haven't lost connection with me again, have you?"
003: “…”
Who unilaterally banned it?
Yun Lian jumped into the system space and saw that the consciousness of 003 Cloud was gagged. She was surprised to see an expression on the cloud.
"Hehe, I forgot, I forgot, good boy, I'll lift the ban on you right away."
003 had barely gotten a chance to speak when it started rambling on: "True heartbreak isn't about making a scene, host, I can't appease you!"
Yun Lian suddenly produced a lollipop: "Have some candy, and I'll treat you to tea to warm your heart."
003 took the candy from her hand and stood there silently for a long time.
This is the first time someone has ever comforted it.
"Waaaaah, host, why did you suddenly do this?"
It wasn't in vain that it desperately clung to the host's soul in the previous world.
Yun Lian hugged its consciousness and said, "Look at you, so pathetic. It's just a piece of candy. If you like it, I'll give you lots of candy later."
"good!"
Yun Lian lay on the chaise longue for a while, feeling her soul relax there.
"I'm leaving now. Be a good boy/girl. Next time you're going somewhere, remember to tell me in advance so I don't worry."
"Okay, host."
003 watched Yun Lian fall into a deep sleep on the bed before collapsing into the system space.
Given the speed at which its host completed the task, it surprisingly developed emotions unique to humans, feeling reluctant to part with the host.
The mere thought of being unbound from its host made it feel extremely uncomfortable.
However, completing the host's task has always been a common goal for both it and the host.
They were destined to be apart.
Only when the host completes all the tasks can she welcome her unique new life.
As Yun Lian slept soundly, she felt as if she were being gently stroked by feathers, which made her sleep even more peacefully.
Goodnight, my host.

For several days in a row, Yun Lian did not encounter Murong Xiao.
She even skips classes almost every time.
Yun Lian has been buying stocks at low prices and selling them at high prices lately, making a fortune.
Adhering to the principle of "if the mountain won't see me, I'll go to the mountain," Yun Lian took the initiative to find her.
Unfortunately, that was the case.
When Yun Lian arrived, the usually arrogant curly-haired cat was completely drunk at the bar.
"Murong Xiao, come with me."
Yun Lian blocked the disgusting gazes that were falling on her.
Murong Xiao became even angrier upon seeing her, and smashed the wine glass at Yun Lian.
"I'm so annoyed. Nothing ever goes my way. I don't want to see you. Get out of here."
Yun Lian dodged to the side, while Murong Xiao looked like a kitten baring its teeth and claws to hide its vulnerability.
His face was all dirty from crying; he looked rather pitiful.
Yun Lian pulled her into her arms, ignoring her struggles, and carried her out of the bar.
Only after the gaze that had been watching her disappeared did Yun Lian strike Murong Xiao on the back of the neck with a hand blade.
They carried her to the hotel like she was a corpse.
Yun Lian sent a message to Li Yue in advance.
I'm not coming home tonight, so don't save me any food.
Li Yue stared at those words, her wrist gripping the phone so tightly it almost snapped in two.
where you go?
Or should I come and pick you up and take you home?
The message in the input box was deleted and rewritten, then deleted again.
Liyue sent only one last message.
Okay, be careful.
"Where could she go after get off work if she doesn't go home?"
Liyue didn't cook dinner; they just made a quick cup of instant noodles and that was it.
With her not home, the small room felt empty.
Li Yue checked all of her social media accounts but found no clues; she had visibly become dejected.
"Ding Dong-"
The notification sound from Yunlian's tablet drew Liyue's attention.
Her phone and tablet are connected.
At this moment, it's like Pandora's box, tempting Li Yue to open it.
Li Yue has excellent eyesight and can tell it's a payment message, but two little voices in her heart are fighting.
