Unexpected romance

Your smile can make me happy all day long...

There's a saying that goes, "People who truly love each other can't be friends. They soften the moment they meet, and fall for each other with a hug. They'll either become strangers or stay together for life!"

In this life, everyone is always searching for something beautiful. Shang also met that destined person, someone who is either a stranger or someone she will spend her whole life with.

There was a time when Shang and Yu Sheng had experienced both sorrow and joy. However, no matter how cold their words were, no matter how far they pushed each other, a message or an expression could bring everything back to the sweet days they once shared.

Some people say that love at first sight is a joke, but what they don't know is that when this so-called joke really comes true, it can no longer be described as love at first sight. The moment you open your mouth, I know you're the one.

I stand on the stage, gazing at you, and before I know it, the whole world is your lens.

Shang likes to go to a coffee shop whenever he has free time. He doesn't like sitting in crowded places, but he prefers to choose a corner by the window, pick up a cup of coffee without sugar or milk, and savor it alone. He likes the quiet atmosphere there, and the beautiful melodies help him relax.

Since Yu Sheng entered his world, his life has slowly begun to change. He no longer likes watching movies, shopping, or going out for coffee. He even has to time his meals and his gatherings. He runs faster and walks faster than anyone else, all just to meet her at the agreed time, even though the two have never met in person and mostly just think of each other quietly through photos.

The sorrow was uncertain and could not be sustained. Although Yu Sheng had confessed her feelings to him, reality was reality. The distance between us was half a world apart. In the game, the two were inseparable best partners. Outside of the game, although there would be more interaction, it would only be a little more.

Shang once said, "You have your world, and I never thought of disturbing you!" Yet he has repeatedly entered her heart.

In Shang's eyes, all he could see was one person. He wanted to take in all her negative emotions, quietly put them into his own body, and feel the pain she had experienced. He just wanted to give her all the happiness he could.

How many wrong people do you have to go through before you meet the right one, the one who makes you laugh like a fool, cry like a madman, replies to your messages instantly, and feels sad when things are quiet?

The wind stops at the autumn waters, and I stop at you.

He couldn't sleep again. Shang felt very lonely, especially at night, when he would become more sentimental than usual. He remembered Yu Sheng telling him this one night.

"Don't let your mind wander at night, because that's when you feel most down, so please don't let your mind wander!"

Shang kept her words in mind very well, as if he would listen to anything she said, without rejection or aversion, and even believe her unconditionally. He couldn't explain why.

Illusion and reality are like sworn enemies, neither willing to yield, neither willing to back down, blocking couples who want to rush into each other's arms.

The coffee in the cup was almost gone, a slight chill swept over me, and drowsiness crept in.

Shang leaned on the windowsill, looking out the window. The surroundings were quiet, and his heart became quieter and quieter. He enjoyed this feeling, like an outsider.

He knew she must be asleep, and he knew he would receive a message from her tomorrow. It seemed that all of this had become a habit, a habit shared by the two of them.

When Shang confessed to Yu Sheng for the first time, even through the screen, you could still feel the slight flush on his face. He was so bold, so passionate, and so reckless.

"My love!" These were the words she often uttered, and the words he kept in his heart.

The two had known each other in the game for almost two months. They had once heard someone in the clan say that a relationship in a game would not last more than a month, but this did not seem to apply to Yu Sheng and Shang. They spent most of their time together after logging in, in their room, saying things that only the two of them could know.

Nian is Yu Sheng's biological older sister in real life. Shang is very afraid that one day she will find him and say that he has disturbed her world and hopes that he can leave.

Many times, Shang had fantasized that if it had never started, would he not be in so much pain? He loved her without any concealment, yet he was afraid of ruining her life or disturbing her. Sometimes, forcing himself to do things against his will was really exhausting.

"I love you, truly and sincerely!" This seemed to be her first confession; the words were brief, yet profound.

"I love you, from the bottom of my heart!"

I've seen many couples in games, and they almost always change partners every three or five days, but they took it all for real.

Shang never imagined she would meet Yu Sheng, but she did; Shang never imagined she would fall in love with her, but she did! In that instant, she seemed to understand what longing and waiting meant.

The night was beautiful, breathtakingly beautiful, so beautiful that it made you want to seek a hug.

He got up, stretched, and realized it was late. He was also a little sleepy. When did he start to become so sentimental, and his tear threshold seemed to have dropped significantly? He knew that everything would be alright when he woke up tomorrow, and everything would be back to how he knew it.

Recently, Shang started using his heart to send messages, not because he liked her, but because she had said that he wanted to get her a pearl ring, which greatly reduced the precious time he could spend alone with her.

We are trapped in the cage of love, unable to extricate ourselves. We embrace tightly in the virtual world. Shang has always known that the two of us can only go so far, but she still deceives herself time and time again, refusing to face it, and for the first time, she wants to escape reality.

Perhaps in the future, if he has the chance, Shang will go to the city where she grew up. It seems that there will be her presence there, but he may never tell her that he has been there, and yet he has never been there.

"What's wrong with me?" Shang lowered his head, trying hard to control his emotions, as if he had so much to tell her at this moment, so urgent.

Listening to her songs, I felt so close to her. Hearing her real voice was like hearing her speak to me. I couldn't help but check her Moments, but recently I can no longer access them. Fortunately, I can still access XQ and see the real her.

People are always afraid to face what they care about most, and Shang was no exception. He didn't know what the future held, nor did he want to know. Perhaps they would meet again, perhaps they would never meet again, perhaps... there were no perhapss...

In Shang's heart, he always thought of this girl, the girl who made his heart ache. As long as she was happy, he could truly be happy. Love doesn't need to be said to the whole world; love is silent. Love would make Shang silently choose to stand behind her, offering a warm hug when she was sad and wanted to turn away.
