The Xueba system takes me back to when I was six years old

Eight years later, time has passed like a flash.

September 2017, 9, tomorrow is Ye Jin’s eighteenth birthday.

However, on this day, Ye Jin, who had just finished lunch, learned a heartbreaking news: Xiaoliu was about to leave this world.

When Xiaoliu received the notification, tears welled up in his eyes, but he tried hard to hold them back.

It told Ye Jin the news with difficulty: [Host, I will leave this world at 12 noon tomorrow. I can only accompany you for half a day on your birthday...]

After hearing this, Ye Jin showed a strong smile on her face, but upon closer inspection, one could see that there were sparkling tears in her eyes.

She stroked Xiaoliu's head gently and said softly, "It's okay. You have been with me for many birthdays. We all know that this day will come sooner or later. In this last time, I will take you out for a walk, and then come back in the evening. Um... I won't sleep tonight. Let's chat all night, okay, and then celebrate my birthday tomorrow, okay?"

Xiaoliu replied with a heavy nasal voice: [Okay.] There was endless sadness in his voice.

Ye Jin looked at the Border Collie in front of her that had been with her for ten years, feeling filled with emotion.

As time goes by, the body of this Border Collie gradually ages.

They prepared an empty little schoolbag just to hide their tracks.

In fact, it was filled with food and water that might be needed during the journey. These items were all stored in the space.

Afterwards, Ye Jin sent a message to his family, informing them that he was going to take Xiaoliu out to play for a while and would not be home for dinner in the evening.

Then, he sent a message to the Chinese Academy of Sciences, saying that he had something to do and asked for a day off.

Everything is ready, Ye Jin and Xiao Liu embark on this special journey.

They strolled together on the familiar yet strange streets, taking in everything around them. Every step was filled with memories and nostalgia, as if saying goodbye to the world.

Eight years have passed, and Ye Jin is still accompanied by Li Wenyan and Liu Qingjia.

They were very confused about the fact that Ye Jin suddenly wanted to take the dog out to play today and even took a leave for this purpose.

Although Ye Jin has revealed the existence of the system to the country, she has concealed two other things: one is her rebirth; the other is that Xiaoliu is her Border Collie.

However, despite their doubts, the two chose to remain silent and just followed her quietly.

Deep down in her heart, Ye Jin actually really hoped that these two people would not follow her today, but reality did not allow her to do so.

So, Ye Jin could only stroll silently on the street with Xiao Liu.

Eight years have passed, and City B has become increasingly prosperous, accompanied by a fast-paced urban life.

Before they knew it, they arrived at a park.

Ye Jin lay on the green grass, looking up at the blue sky, feeling filled with emotion. Everything around him was so beautiful.

In this park, Ye Jin seemed to have turned back into that innocent child.

She bought a lot of toys from the vendors and then played with Xiaoliu to her heart's content.

They flew kites together, chased and played with each other, and had a lot of fun.

When feeling tired, I sit on the ground and take a rest.

After a short rest, we started to taste the delicious food we brought.

As time passed, the sky gradually darkened.

Ye Jin brought Xiao Liu to the fried chicken shop. Looking at the wide variety of fried chicken in the shop, Xiao Liu's eyes lit up. This is one of his favorite foods!

Ye Jin looked at Xiao Liu's happy expression, and suddenly an idea came to her mind. She smiled and asked, "Xiao Liu, you like fried chicken so much, have you ever thought about bringing these delicacies back home?"

[Is it okay?] Xiao Liu raised his head excitedly and looked at Ye Jin expectantly.

Ye Jin patted Xiaoliu's head and nodded encouragingly: "Well, let's ask."

So Xiaoliu closed his eyes, concentrated and began to communicate with Dr. Z. After a while, Xiaoliu opened his eyes and said with some disappointment: [Dr. Z said it’s impossible. When traveling through time and space, all the items you carry will be crushed, so there is no way to bring the fried chicken back.]

Ye Jin couldn't help but feel a little regretful after hearing this. She thought about all the gifts she had given to Xiao Liu over the years, and it would be such a shame if she couldn't take them away.

Xiaoliu seemed to be aware of this problem as well, and his originally happy mood from eating fried chicken instantly turned into depression.

The two finished the dinner in silence, and the originally relaxed and happy atmosphere became heavy.

Finally, they slowly walked out of the fried chicken shop and walked slowly along the street, no one spoke.

The streets at night are brightly lit, busy with traffic, and very lively.

It is seven o'clock in the evening, and most office workers have just finished a day's work and returned to their warm homes; it is also a good time for many people to go out for entertainment and enjoy delicious food.

In short, the streets were crowded and bustling with people.

However, Ye Jin and Xiao Liu seemed out of place among the people around them. People passing by always thought that this man and dog were very sad.

Eighteen-year-old Ye Jin has a pretty face, a tall and slender figure, a high ponytail, and a beige long dress. Her eyes are as clear as water, her nose is straight and cute, and her lips are full and rosy.

She was holding a handsome Border Collie by the hand, and two powerful "bodyguards" followed closely behind her.

Such an eye-catching combination has become a beautiful landscape on the streets of City B.

Under the stern gaze of the two bodyguards, passers-by could only watch from afar and did not dare to approach easily.

Occasionally, a few brave people tried to take photos, but they were stopped in time by the bodyguards.

When Ye Jin returned home, she found that her parents had not returned yet. She checked her phone and found out that her parents both needed to work overtime and would not be home for dinner tonight, and asked her to go to bed early.

Ye Jin breathed a sigh of relief. After washing up, he lay on the bed and chatted with Xiao Liu.

"I still remember the day when the system was updated and you were born, Xiaoliu."

[I also remember that I was just born at that time and I didn’t know anything, but I was afraid that you, the host, would think I was useless.]

"How can it be useless? At least you can chat with me. I can't tell anyone about the system, and it's very uncomfortable to keep it in my heart. But you can chat with me about these things, and you don't look like an AI at all. I think you are a 'person' with your own self."

[Really? I always feel like I’m useless…]

"Since a person or an object exists, they have their own value. Xiaoliu, not only me, but also my family and my friends like you very much. You can feel it."

Someone asked me why I didn’t write the system. I will talk about it in the next two chapters. If everyone wants Xiaoliu to come back, I will write Xiaoliu back after the disaster is over.
