After a while, Yan Xia walked into the room with a pale face.

She trembled her eyelashes slightly, her cheeks were wet, fine droplets of water dripped down against her curled eyelashes, drawing a meandering trace.

Shang Wandong suddenly looked up at her, his lips trembled, and asked softly, "Are you okay?"

Yan Xia lowered her head, strands of long hair covering the profile of her face.She leaned on the desk and sat down, her voice hoarse: "It's okay."

There was a glass of water on the desk, the side of the glass was still warm to the touch, it should have just been picked up.

She picked up the water glass and took small sips. The water poured into her mouth, and the disgusting smell just now was slowly washed away.

Shang Wandong didn't say a word, turning his head to look at her from time to time, the concern in his eyes was obvious.

Yan Xia suddenly felt grateful to her because she didn't ask anything.

At this point in time, I couldn't find a good reason to explain my anomaly.

As long as she accidentally glanced at the empty opposite bed from the corner of her eye, that indescribable fear and anxiety would arise spontaneously, like a huge stone stuck in her chest.

All this is caused by her.

It was all because of her choice that indirectly caused Wu Qing's disappearance.

The voice of the system suddenly appeared in the ear: "Host, are you okay?"

Yan Xia paused, trying to keep his voice calm: "Don't talk to me just yet."

There was a hint of puzzlement in the stiff mechanical voice of the system: "Why? Are you still concerned about Wu Qing's affairs?"

Yan Xia raised her voice subconsciously: "...Shouldn't I mind this?"

That was a living person who completely disappeared before her eyes for no reason!

System: "Sorry, I don't understand your thoughts. To me, Wu Qing is just a piece of common code in the program, so there is no need to feel sad about it."

Yan Xia clenched her fingers, feeling unreasonable.

"But she is just a human being in my eyes, an ordinary human being who can laugh, cry, and think." She suppressed her anger and pinched her index knuckles, "Her future and life are up to her to decide , not just wipe her out completely because of any cloud port!"

The system let out an ah, and the mechanical tail sound rose: "Master, this is not a casual matter."

"Don't you think that if the truth of this world is broken by NPCs, it may be a more devastating blow to them?" It said slowly, "You can accept that your life is just a part of the program. Code, or an insignificant passer-by in a book?"

Yan Xia opened his mouth, his mind was buzzing, his finger bones turned white.

The system said: "Host, maybe you think my behavior is too cold-blooded. But I am not a human being, I will only follow the optimal solution of the program."

"The operation of all things follows the rules. It seems that in this world, the NPC and the program rules do not interfere with each other and complement each other. But if the NPC accidentally breaks this rule, the world will for the basic normal operation of the program. The rise of the collapse value, so I chose to forcibly delete the NPC from this world."

It said slowly, "This method is as common as deleting a bug that prevents the program from running in the process of debugging code."

Yan Xia rubbed the center of his brows, a faint sense of powerlessness welled up in his heart.

Sure enough, there is a natural moat that is hard to cross in thinking between humans and machines.

She whispered: "If... If there are NPCs who accidentally break the rules, will they all be deleted?"

"Indeed."

Yan Xia took a deep breath: "...Okay, I see."

This means that his every move in the future may affect the survival of an NPC.

She suddenly remembered her mission goal: "What if this person is Shang Wandong?"

The system paused, and the tone dropped suddenly: "Host, please don't ask such boring and meaningless questions."

"So you can't delete Shang Wandong, right?"

"I can't answer that."

The system's tone was cold: "...Host, don't try to explore the rules of the world." After that, it didn't speak again.

Yan Xia squinted his eyes, and shouted a few more times tentatively, only a dead silence remained in his ears.

She raised her eyes, just in time to meet Shangshang Wandong's gaze.

In the shadow of the incandescent lamp, the dark eyes were covered with a white halo, light and bright, as clean as water.

Yan Xia's heart softened suddenly.

She couldn't accept that Shang Wandong would receive the same treatment, but fortunately, the system didn't state that Shang Wandong could be deleted.

Shang Wandong put down his phone, looked at her and said, "I have asked the teacher for leave for the writing training in the afternoon."

It was only then that Yan Xia remembered that she had skipped a class for no reason.

Seeing her dazed and tired expression, Shang Wandong asked softly: "Do you want to sleep for a while?"

Yan Xia shook her head, throwing those weird conversations out of her mind.

She lowered her eyes and frowned, her brows and eyes were stained with a little sadness: "I can't sleep."

Shang Wandong looked at her for a while, then suddenly said: "Then you sleep with me."

Yan Xia froze, unable to understand what she meant.

Shang Wandong climbed up the stairs, sat on the bed in the dormitory, lowered his head and hooked his index finger at her.

"Come up."

The iron frame bed is not big, but luckily both of them are thin and not heavy, more than enough for a squeeze.

Yan Xia was trapped in the soft quilt, her whole body was tightly wrapped, and she was lying face to face with Shang Wandong, with a wall behind her.

Pulling the curtains on the bed, the thin curtains are like a barrier, clearly separating them from the outside world.

The surroundings suddenly became narrow, as if in a closed and narrow space, there was an indescribable sense of security and intimacy.

The air conditioner made a slight roar, the tall buildings blocked the afternoon sun, and the light suddenly became dim.

Shang Wandong put his arms around Yan Xia's waist, the movement was very natural, as if he had done it hundreds of times.

She closed her eyes and whispered softly, "Good afternoon."

Yan Xia didn't feel sleepy, she stared blankly at her long and thin eyelashes, subconsciously counting for a long time.

Suddenly, she belatedly felt a long and sharp pain.

Yan Xia buried her face in the quilt, suppressing the soreness welling up in her eyes.

She thought she was the protagonist, the chosen one, omnipotent, but she couldn't save an ordinary person.

In the end, it was Shang Wandong who silently comforted her in his own way.

Shang Wandong closed his eyes, opened his soft lips slightly, and took a long breath.

Yan Xia fiddled with Shang Wandong's hair hanging down her ears, she straightened up slightly, and leaned close to the sleeping girl next to her, looking down at her peaceful side face.

With black hair and red lips, she was as beautiful as a dream in a fairy tale.

"Sister, you are so kind." She couldn't help smiling, and whispered in Shang Wandong's ear, "I like you so much."

All the sweet and astringent emotions in my heart that I wanted to express loudly were quietly melted into this short confession.

Yan Xia lay down again, and closed her eyes contentedly.

Naturally, she also missed the moment when Shang Wandong slowly opened his eyes.

……

The next morning, in the auditorium of No. [-] Middle School.

Looking around was full of black heads, Lu Yixing struggled to shuttle through the crowd holding the light board, and quickly found an empty seat near the front to sit down.

Not long after, someone sat next to him.

The man was wearing wide sunglasses that covered half of his face, and was wearing a black trench coat. He was fully armed from head to toe, and the dog was looking around furtively, like a suspicious private detective.

Lu Yixing couldn't help but look at her more, shit!Dressed like this in the summer, there are so many monsters!

"Brother, isn't it hot for you to dress like this?"

"Nonsense!" The man was angry, but when he opened his mouth, it was a very young female voice.She glanced at Lu Yixing, stretched out her hand to push the sunglasses, and said in surprise, "What the hell is that in your hand?"

"Oh, you said this?" Lu Yixing looked at the light board in his hand, and said happily, "I made it for my friends, how about it?"

The man raised his eyebrows high, stared at the light board and read word by word: "Xia Dongxia, you're a god of speech, don't you take the first handstand to have diarrhea?"

"It's too heavy to make two light signs, and it's not easy to bring them here, so I condensed them into one." Lu Yixing pressed the switch, "The ranking is not in order, isn't it very reasonable?"

The lights flickered back and forth in various colors, like the spiral light bulbs in front of a hair salon.The eyes of the surroundings were attracted by the eye-catching lanterns, with different expressions.

That person: "Wait... won't your friend beat you after seeing it?"

"Is it not doing well?" Lu Yixing looked down and said confidently, "I just looked at it, and only our school has a light sign in the audience, and the row of noodles is full!"

That person: "..."

She rolled her eyes openly through the sunglasses: "Hehe, it's great."

Near eight o'clock, the host came to the stage to introduce the schedule.

The contestants drew lots to decide the order of playing, and the judges took their seats one by one. After the short opening remarks and speeches, the competition officially kicked off.

Contestant No. [-] came to the stage. Looking at the dark crowd below, he was probably a little nervous. He got stuck as soon as he opened his mouth, and his performance was also stumbling. The judges in the audience shook their heads.

The performance of the latter few players is also relatively average.Most of the performances were mediocre, and contestants No. [-] and No. [-] stood out, with standard pronunciation, but the content of the speech did not arouse much response.

Lu Yixing's heart beat faster, and his legs were shaking nervously: "I'm going, I'm so flustered! The atmosphere is so dignified!"

The man in black was annoyed by her shaking, he couldn't help holding down her foot that was about to move, and whispered: "Don't shake! You don't have to panic when you go on stage!"

Lu Yixing glanced at the phone and clicked his tongue: "Because it's my turn to sit at the same table soon!"

The man in black: "Who is your deskmate?"

"Yan Xia!" Lu Yixing said, "Oh, you may not know him."

The man in black snorted and took off his sunglasses, revealing a beautiful and fair face.

Lu Yixing stared at her for a while, wondering: "You look a bit like my deskmate."

Yan Siqiu nodded gracefully: "Because I'm her sister."

Lu Yixing was shocked.

She lowered her voice: "then why do you dress up like this?"

Yan Siqiu also lowered his voice and gritted his teeth: "Because I don't want her to find out that I came to watch the game."

Lu Yixing: "Oh!"

A series of plots in which the real and the fake daughters turned against each other and slapped the scum in the face suddenly appeared in her mind.

The life of a wealthy family is really not that pure!

Yan Siqiu didn't notice Lu Yixing's meaningful expression, because she saw Yan Xia slowly walking onto the stage.

Yan Xia held her head high, a simple and neat ponytail hanging down her thin white neck, revealing her beautiful and thin cheeks.The pale yellow spotlight was like a hazy golden veil covering her body, her face was pale and haggard for some reason.

Seeing this, Yan Siqiu frowned: "Did she not sleep well last night?"

"Maybe I'm too nervous." Lu Yixing was so anxious that he began to shake his legs again, but when Yan Xia opened his mouth, the audience fell silent.

Lu Yixing's eyes lit up: "Stable!"

Yan Xia's pronunciation is so beautiful, and her emotional expressiveness is so full that even audiences who don't know anything about English will be infected by her appropriate expressions and body movements.

Most importantly, she made no mistakes throughout the process.

Compared with the previous players, this is undoubtedly a great advantage.

In the short speech of less than 10 minutes, the judges showed satisfied smiles from time to time.

At the end of the speech, Yan Xia bowed to the audience with a smile, and the audience applauded thunderously.

Lu Yixing held up the light board and shouted amidst the buzzing: "Xia Xiazi! You are the one who fell!"

Yan Siqiu hummed softly, "That's all! I can do it too!" But he couldn't help clapping along.

The responses from the next few contestants were pretty good, and Luo Qiyuan was among them. Her accent wasn't particularly prominent, but she was more emotionally engaged and her performance was calm and easy, which was not a bad thing.

More than half of the schedule passed, Shang Wandong finally made his debut.

Standing under the spotlight, she has black hair shawl, skin as white as snow, and a sharp and indifferent glamor between her eyebrows and eyes, which makes people reluctant to blink.

The content of the speech was only 5 minutes, and the expressions of the audience were different.

"She is the school belle of Hucheng No. [-] Middle School? This is too pretty, isn't it!"

"To be honest, I have a feeling that I am listening to Siri and my idiom Solitaire."

"Can you still notice what she said? I was so dumbfounded the whole time."

"Feels like she's an emotionless killer—I'll take all of you Dark Sharks when I'm done!"

"I think her pronunciation is very nice, and the content of the manuscript is also good, but unfortunately, her mood is peaceful and there are no major twists and turns."

When Shang Wandong stepped down from the stage, there was constant applause, as enthusiastic as Yan Xia.

Yan Siqiu took a deep breath and shouted to the stage: "Sister Wandong, you are so amazing—"

After shouting, she sat down quickly with a flushed face.

Lu Yixing held the light sign in both hands, opened his mouth into a circle, and turned to look at her in surprise.

Yan Siqiu felt a little ashamed, and whispered, "What are you looking at, didn't you call just now?"

Lu Yixing patted her on the shoulder, suddenly realized: "You said earlier that you supported Shang Wandong, so I lent you the light board."

"...I don't want it! It's too ugly!!!"

Backstage, Yan Xia greeted her with a smile: "My sister spoke really well."

Shang Wandong nodded: "You're not bad either." She casually took a step forward, just avoiding Yan Xia's hand.

Yan Xia was startled, then smiled and said, "Who do you think is likely to win the championship?"

Shang Wandong looked at her: "You."

Yan Xia blinked: "Huh? How do you say that?"

"You speak better than me." Shang Wandong said, "I can feel it."

Yan Xia didn't take it seriously: "But your manuscript is better than mine! Maybe you are still higher in the overall score."

Shang Wandong shook his head, didn't speak any more, and watched quietly as the last contestant finished his speech.

The host in a bright dress walked onto the stage with small steps, and said with a decent smile: "Now that all the contestants have finished their speeches, let us once again applaud them for their wonderful performance!"

Amidst the buzzing applause, the host announced a 5-minute intermission, and then stepped off the stage to chat with the judges in a low voice.

Five minutes later, she stood on the awarding platform with a smile on her face, unfolded the note in her hand, and said in a melodious tone: "Please Yan Xia, Wen Lian, and Shang Wandong come to the stage to accept the award!"

A cold mechanical voice sounded in my ears at the same time: "Congratulations to the host for winning the speech contest championship, positive points +300, a total of 2050 points."

Yan Xia was not surprised by this result.She has no desire to talk to the system for the time being, so she just said lightly, "Thank you."

System: "Remind the host again, your points are enough to draw ten consecutive rounds."

After all, it quietly disappeared.

Yan Xia stopped talking, and stood shoulder to shoulder with Shang Wandong on the podium.

Under the spotlight, the rain of golden paper flakes was flying all over the sky, like a brilliant snow with goose feathers.

Yan Xia held the trophy high and smiled brightly.

Shang Wandong stood by her side, the corners of his mouth curved slightly, and his faint smile was a little gentle in the milky yellow light and shadow.

She said softly, "Congratulations."

Yan Xia winked at her quietly: "Congratulations to you too."

Countless flashing lights sounded, forever freezing their carefree smiles at this time.

……

On the return school bus.

"Your light board..." Yan Xia looked at the light board in Lu Yixing's hand, hesitated to speak, "very creative."

Lu Yixing nodded proudly: "Yes, I think so too."

After the game, she went to the backstage to find Yan Xia and the other two, and just happened to meet Teacher Luo, so she got on the bus back to school.

The two chatted all the way, while Shang Wandong who was beside him looked out the window without saying a word.

Yan Xia was afraid that Shang Wandong would be bored, so he handed her a bag of potato chips: "Sister, do you want to eat?"

Shang Wandong shook his head, didn't look at her, leaned on the seat with his face sideways, and said softly: "I want to sleep for a while."

She closed her eyes slowly, her expression indifferent.

Seeing this, Lu Yixing lowered his voice, and asked with his mouth: "What's wrong with her?!"

Yan Xia shook his head with a dazed expression.

Since last night, Shang Wandong has been in this careless appearance.

Talking to her will also respond and express, but for some reason, there is a sense of alienation from the world, which makes people feel that they cannot get close to her heart.

Shang Wandong fell asleep all the way, and was woken up by Yan Xia when he arrived at school.She slowly opened her eyes, frowning slightly, with a trace of lingering fatigue in her expression.

Yan Xia stared blankly.

Shang Wandong glanced at her, stood up slowly, and said without looking back, "Let's go."

Yan Xia quickly picked up her schoolbag and hurriedly followed.

The two got out of the car and stood by the side of the street waiting for Yan's driver to pick them up.

"It's so hot today." Yan Xia wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile, "Sister, do you want ice cream? I'll go across to buy two."

"Don't eat." Shang Wandong called to stop her, "Don't go, the car is almost here."

Yan Xia laughed: "How do you know? It's only been a few minutes..."

As soon as the words fell, a silver-gray Maserati appeared at the corner of the street.

Yan Xia was shocked: "...are you a prophet?"

Shang Wandong didn't answer, but took the schoolbag in her hand.

Yan Xia quickly said: "It's okay, I'll help you get it."

Shang Wandong lowered his eyes wearily: "No need."

There was only the driver in the car, Yan Xia just sat in the back seat, raised his head, but saw that Shang Wandong had already sat in the front passenger seat.

She blinked helplessly, froze for a few seconds, and slowly closed the rear door.

Yan Xia leaned on the back seat and looked out of the window. Wisps of cool wind passed through her face, and she felt that the space around her was a little deserted.

The driver Xiao Li said with a smile: "It's a coincidence, I happened to be doing business nearby, and I rushed over when I heard the call."

Yan Xia smiled faintly: "No wonder it came so fast."

Xiao Li happily said: "Yes, what a coincidence!"

No one in the car answered the call, and the air became silent again.

Yan Xia subconsciously looked into the rearview mirror, only to see Shang Wandong's eyes closed sleepily, with faint redness at the end of his eyes.

Vaguely, she suddenly realized something.

The author has something to say: Don’t panic, family members, you’re about to lose your horse
