Unfortunately, he searched through all the files. Even countless pieces of data, including files that had been deleted long ago, were restored by him, yet he still could not find her.
“Ah Yu, what are you looking for? Is it some important file?”
Feng Yu stiffly turned his head and looked at Xia Yi, whose face was covered in tears, recalling everything that had happened today.
“Ah Yu, what should we do now? I really do not know why this happened. Are you blaming me? Can you find a way to bring your friend back? I can return the body to her.”
Feng Yu froze for a moment. Looking at the fully restored computer, with nothing missing except her, he said in a low voice, “She cannot be found.”
He could not find her.
She was gone.
Feng Yu’s eyes reddened. Was reviving Xiao Yi not what he wanted? Was it not what he had hoped for all these years? Then why did he feel so unbearable now?
“Ah Yu, please do not ignore me. I know I was wrong just now and broke your computer. This is all my fault.” Xia Yi hugged her arms and sobbed softly. If Feng Yu stopped caring about her, what was she supposed to do? She was completely unfamiliar with this world and could not survive independently at all. It would be better to put her back into the network world.
Feng Yu came back to his senses. Looking at Xia Yi crying softly, he reached out and wiped the tears from her face, pulling her into his arms. “Alright, stop crying.” His voice was incomparably gentle, as if returning to the past. Xia Yi felt reassured and stopped crying.
“So what should we do now?” she asked.
Feng Yu gently patted Xia Yi. “I do not know where she is. For now, we will leave things like this and talk again once I find her.” He took out a tissue and carefully wiped Xia Yi’s tears. “You are not allowed to cry anymore, understand?”
“Mhm.”
Seeing Xia Yi smile, Feng Yu finally relaxed. How could this face cry? Crying really did not look good on her. His eyes and the corners of his mouth were full of gentleness. “Smile more. Have you not always wanted a body? Take this opportunity to see the world properly.”
Xia Yi was naturally happy, but also uneasy.
She did not know how long she could keep this body. “Ah Yu, what is going on with your friend? When will you be able to find her?”
“I will try my best. Do not overthink it. Maybe she ran into the network world on her own, just like you did before. The network world is so big, it is very hard to find her.” Feng Yu’s voice trembled slightly. In fact, he was not even sure whether she had gone into the network world at all. There was also a possibility that she had disappeared forever.
“Ah Yu, I am really afraid you will stop caring about me. I am so unfamiliar with this world. You are the only familiar person I have.”
Xia Yi was happy to have a body, yet also afraid of living alone in this unfamiliar world. What she feared most was being exposed and taken away for research.
Deep down, she hoped to occupy this body forever. Having a body was far better than living in a virtual network world.
She could hug Feng Yu, wear beautiful dresses, and eat delicious food.
“Do not worry. My friend is a streamer. I told you about her before. Her job is livestreaming games every day. She rarely goes home, so she will not be exposed…” Feng Yu held Xia Yi and patiently explained Tang Guo’s life to her. He also taught her how to livestream games.
Xia Yi was extremely curious about all of this. She truly had great interest in games and the internet, and she quickly adapted.
