Unexpected romance

When Shang got home, he turned on his computer and sent a text message to Yu Sheng, telling her that he was online.

"Okay, right away!" Yu Sheng replied quickly, as if the phone had never left her hand.

After Shang booked the room, he changed to the forest theme and closed all the other seats except for the one next to him.

"Here she comes!" A figure suddenly appeared beside him, Yu Sheng, dressed in red.

"Does your head still hurt?" Shang typed a line.

"Seeing you makes the pain go away!"

"I wasn't ruthless enough. I should have decisively cut off all contact!" Shang posted a "sigh" emoji.

"Are you going to be cruel to me?"

"Won't!"

"It hurts so much. Now I understand how those emotional quotes were written. It's so heartbreaking when they happen to you!" Yu Sheng sent a long message, and Shang read it silently.

"Who told you to send that message this morning saying I wanted to keep my distance from you? I almost deleted everything about you."

"You've misunderstood. I won't distance myself from you, nor will I abandon you. I'm just wondering, if we lose the medium of the game, in what capacity should I contact you?" Yu Sheng's words seemed to echo Shang's own heartfelt sentiments.

Yes, if we set aside the game, in what capacity should we continue?

"Can I ask you a question?" Shang suddenly said.

"Speak!"

Do I exist in your heart?

Almost immediately, the words "Yes!" came into his view.

"Same!" Shang's heart slowly began to feel relieved.

"Today, when I heard you say 'I understand,' I felt something was wrong. When I logged into the game, I found that your tags had been changed and you had left the clan. I quickly logged in with your account, and thankfully, my friends list and ring were still there!" Yu Sheng seemed somewhat angry.

"This should have all ended by tonight, but I haven't been able to delete it! If I had left quietly like that, would you have hated me?" Shang desperately wanted to know the answer.

"I definitely will, and I'll hate you for the rest of my life! When I saw you suddenly disappear today, my eyes were swollen from crying. When my family saw me like that, I told them I was reading too much!"

Can I laugh?

"Can!"

At that moment, it seemed that the two of them understood that once something begins, it cannot be ended so easily.

"I remember you saying that time heals all wounds!"

"Hmm, what's wrong?"

"Let's never say these things again, okay? Let's keep each other in our hearts. Have you forgotten the vow you made? The fifty-year promise on the information card!"

"I haven't forgotten. Once I make a promise, I will always keep it. How could I have agreed to it in the first place? Otherwise, I would have left without any hesitation!"

"Now you can't leave. I've already drawn a circle around you in my heart, and you can't get out!" Shang smiled when he saw what Yu Sheng had sent.

"It's late, you should go to sleep!"

"Okay, you should go to bed early too!"

"Don't overthink it, relax!"

"install!"

After saying goodbye to Yu Sheng, Shang returned to the garden, where he sprinkled water and dusted the plants. He wanted to wait until the garden was full of flowers and give her a surprise the next day.

Time froze at three in the morning. Shang could no longer hold on, and her eyelids began to droop uncontrollably, while the flowers still showed no sign of blooming.

So, Shang left her game character in the garden until that person arrived.

"Good morning!" A greeting from the morning.

"Did you stay in the garden yesterday? I was so happy to see you this morning!"

Shang also got up early. After seeing the message, she replied "Good morning" and then got up to wash up and have breakfast.

"The flowers should bloom by 8:30!"

"Okay, then let's wait a bit!" Shang put down his phone, washed up, and came to the study looking refreshed. The flowers still hadn't bloomed.

"I'm heading out now, see you tonight!"

"Okay, see you tonight!"

Upon arriving at the company, Shang finished his work and then took out his phone to send Yu Sheng a greeting emoji.

How are you feeling today?

"Perhaps it's because we only realize how much we cherish something after we lose it, and because of that, my mood seems to be even better!" Yu Sheng sent a smiling emoji, as if the cheerful Yu Sheng had returned.

"I can imagine how you looked yesterday!"

"Yesterday I was like a rabbit!"

"With red eyes?"

"Yeah, it's still swollen!"

"You won't say things like that again, will you? If there's a next time, there won't be a second chance!" Shang said half-seriously.

"No, let's not say goodbye like that anymore, okay? It really hurts!"

"Yes, there won't be a next time!"

"Actually, I've been thinking about how to handle this situation too. We agreed to stay rational, but we've all succumbed!"

"No one expected that we had fallen for each other!" Shang sent a "hug you" emoji.

"I'll hold you tight!" Yu Sheng replied.

Shang didn't reply again, but instead started browsing Taobao.com. As she looked around, she suddenly thought of Lovers' Garden and seemed to be thinking of getting close to it.

There are many shops online that offer to help with boosting, but the process takes too long and requires logging in every hour, which is quite tedious, so I temporarily abandoned this idea.

"My sisters went to Zone 1; they said it's crowded there!"

"are you going?"

"Sister and Loneliness even changed their names to a couple's name!" After saying that, she sent the name over. Shang looked at it and it was indeed as she said, a couple's name.

"I want to go, but I also don't want to go!"

After saying that, she even took a screenshot of what Qiqi said and sent it to Shang.

"Two people can be together anywhere without any problem, but if you're alone, you'll feel very lonely and suddenly lose interest in the game, and you might quit!" Yu Sheng's reply was also above, which was basically in agreement with her point of view.

In the evening, Yu Sheng sent a message to Shang.

"I'm going back to my hometown tonight, and I'll be taking my laptop with me!"

"No need, you don't need to bring your computer this time. I'm granting you leave. Have a good rest today, my queen!" Shang couldn't help but laugh after sending the message.

"Haha!" Yu Sheng indeed sent the same emoji.

When Shang got home that evening, he started registering an account for Zone 1. However, since his membership number was already bound, he couldn't change his name even after activating the zone. Although Yu Sheng had already chosen two great names, they were now useless.

After a brief farewell to Yu Sheng, Shang went to the game alone. After watering the flowers, he realized that after being used to someone's presence for so long, it was a little strange when they suddenly disappeared. He couldn't even say what he wanted to do next.

Shang played with Meteor for a while, then logged off. Standing alone by the window, he recalled the events of the past two days and couldn't help but sigh.

"Some things, once lost, can never be found again. Luckily, you didn't lose it, and it seems it never intended to leave!"
