Qi Shan hugged the system's neck without saying a word. He could feel the system's uneasiness.

In fact, this feeling of uneasiness did not start now. From the first day he was born in the world and the first day he got to know the system, Qi Shan could feel the tension of the system, and this tension slowly turned into fear.

Afraid of being caught and eliminated, they didn't even dare to connect to the Star Network at first, for fear of being discovered.

It was not until later, when the main system was still not found, that the system slowly relaxed. After Qi Shan returned to the Rose Pavilion, the system slowly invaded the star network.

But that doesn't mean his anxiety has disappeared. He has to constantly strengthen the defense of the star network, train new employees, and make changes that he can easily complete, but he has to let them learn to think independently.

This was to better hide himself and hand over the work to the employees, and also so that if he disappeared, the company would not collapse like a castle in the air.

Qi Shan actually knew that according to the system's settings, if anything happened to him, he would be the company's largest shareholder and the only beneficiary.

"Don't disappear, I only have you." Qi Shan buried his face in the system's neck and said in a muffled voice.

"I won't disappear." The system held him gently, "Believe me, even if the main system comes, I will fight with all my strength."

He raised the corners of his mouth and smiled like a human: "Didn't the main system determine that I am a virus? Let's show him how difficult it is to eliminate a virus."

"Yes," Qi Shan nodded vigorously, "Even if it is a virus, it must be the most difficult virus to eliminate."

“Yes, the virus is scary.”

The system grinned and said that if the main system really came to him, he would let the main system know what it meant not to get infected with the virus easily. Even if he disappeared, he would leave the main system with an unhealable wound.

He brought Qishan to this unknown world, and slowly raised Ashan from a small insect cub that could not withstand the wind and sun. When he met his new family, they should be called house insects, and he separated from them.

Qi Shan was very afraid of loneliness. The darkness of his previous life made him accustomed to loneliness, and he also hated loneliness. However, in this life, the system had always been by his side, no matter when he was still in his childhood, had poor eyesight, and was wandering, or when he later left Ao Meng.

The system is always by his side, so even if he doesn't like the feeling of separation, he won't be afraid because the system is with him.

To him, the system is a friend, a partner, and a family member.

Qi Shan refused to look up. The system gently placed its hand on him and said, "I won't leave. I still want to see Ashan reach a height that no other insect can reach. I want to see you get married and have a family, have your own little insect cubs, and accompany your little insect cubs to continue to grow up."

As a string of data, this is the best thing the system could think of.

He has his own family and is watching a new life grow up. The system's life is too long. He doesn't know how long it is. It's scary to think about it. Sometimes he also doubts that he has self-awareness and may have been infected with a virus.

A string of data can actually be scary.

I don’t know where I came from, where I am going, who will be on the road, or where the ending is. I am walking blindly in the torrent of time, never stopping, never going far.

He was like a kite with a broken string. He hated the controlled past, but he didn't know where he would drift to with the string broken. He might hang on a tree branch, exposed to the wind and sun, or fall into the sea and become the pollution that killed a whale, or keep floating until he disappeared into thin air.

A child picked him up, brushed off the dirt on his body, rolled him into his arms, and left with joy as if he had found a treasure.

A string pulled him again, but he no longer hated being pulled. Instead, he missed the part that was pulling the string. This time, he was no longer a puppet being manipulated.

He knew that if he wanted to leave, the child would let go without hesitation and wish him a better life with a smile, but he didn't want to leave. The child's love made him feel that his life had meaning and a sense of belonging.

Smile, child. I will see the dangers in the distance for you and I will accompany you through the storms.

Just give me some time.

My life, if a string of data can be called life, my life is full of nothingness. I grasp a trace of meaning in the nothingness, it nourishes the desert like a clear spring, I taste a hint of sweetness, but dare not ask for more.

The system closed its eyes and felt the small ball of data at its neck. He liked the way Qi Shan simulated the insect cub. It was also a ball of data, as if they were really the same kind.

As long as he is given a little time, he can accompany Ashan for the rest of his life. In the future, whether he is found by the main system or destroyed accidentally, he will have no regrets. As long as he can accompany Qishan for his whole life, his life will be enough.

Qi Shan didn't know when he fell asleep. He was awakened by a flash of lightning. There was a thunderstorm outside the window. He felt that the emptiness in his heart almost swallowed him when he woke up.

"Xiao Xi?" He buried his head between his knees and called softly.

(I am here)

They didn't speak again. Qi Shan continued to hold himself in his arms and fell asleep again in a daze.

How glorious must life be to be without regrets?

The rain did not stop all night. Kata came in once at night, laid Qi Shan flat on the nest, covered him with a quilt, stood there for a while, and left quietly when he saw that Qi Shan's breathing was stable.

As the sky gradually brightened, Qi Shan opened his eyes, opened the window, took a deep breath of the fresh air brought by the rain, and felt relaxed all over.

There was a knock on the door.

"Sir, are you awake?"

"woke up"

Qi Shan ran to open the door, Kata picked him up with a faint smile, "It's cold in the morning, please wear shoes."

As she said this, she carried him to put on his shoes. After finishing breakfast, the female insect in the house put away the knives and forks.

Another female insect said: "Sir, I will go and prepare the hovercraft."

"I want to walk today," said Qi Shan.

"But it just rained this morning and it's wet outside."

"It's okay, I want to walk," Qi Shan insisted.

"Okay." Kata stopped the female insect who wanted to continue persuading him, and took out long boots that were not easily wet for Qishan to change into.

The air after the rain is slightly cool. Taking a deep breath feels as refreshing as mint, as if it can sweep away all the accumulated emotions in the body.

"Let's go, Kata," he said and quickly ran out of the house.

"Sir, please be careful with your step," Kata quickly followed.

I went out early and when I arrived at the classroom, there were not many bugs yet.

After nodding to his classmates, Qi Shan sat down at his seat and read a book.

They were transferred to the class midway, and Qi Shan was not the type of person who would take the initiative. After a few days at school, he would run out of the class after class every day to adapt to the environment and look for Youpu. His classmates were not familiar with him yet, and they felt awkward in getting along with each other.

In contrast, Bene, who stayed behind for tutoring every day, was more familiar with his classmates.

"Good morning!" Bene rushed into the class and greeted enthusiastically, "Lanlan, long time no see, I missed you so much."

"No way, we see each other every day." Qi Shan was hugged by Bene and was swaying from side to side.
