Shen Huai took a deep breath, suppressed the complicated emotions in his heart, and began to play the role of an "understanding" ex-boyfriend.
He nodded appropriately and made modal particles such as "um" and "ah", and occasionally added comforting words such as "That's it" and "You must be working very hard".
As Su Meng narrated, the progress bar of the hidden task was also slowly advancing.
Finally, Su Meng finished talking.
She raised her head and looked at Shen Huai with tearful eyes: "I'm sorry, Shen Huai, I always wanted to tell you the truth, but..."
[The first phase is completed. Mission reward: Su Meng’s favorability +20. 】
[The second stage: selection. 】
[Please choose: 1. Start over; 2. Say goodbye. 】
Shen Huai looked at these two options and fell into deep thought.
restart?
He glanced at Su Meng, and to be honest, even though it had been several years since his first heartbeat.
Many of the details that made him feel throbbing had long been forgotten.
However, he also knew in his heart that there were too many things between him and Su Meng, not only past misunderstandings, but also the gap in reality.
She is no longer the ignorant and naive Su Meng she once was.
And he is no longer the "poor student" Shen Huai who has to work several jobs.
Life is a process of gradually growing up amidst regrets.
Shen Huai took a deep breath and hovered his finger over the "Farewell" option.
He is not a Madonna, nor a philanthropist.
The pain from a few years ago has scabbed over, and opening it up now will only serve to increase the scars.
Shen Huai chose to say goodbye without hesitation.
Seeing Shen Huai's choice, Su Meng's eyes flashed with a trace of imperceptible disappointment.
The corner of his mouth barely curved into a pale smile. She knew that Shen Huai's choice not only represented an option in the game, but also a real farewell for the two of them in the real world.
Shen Huai raised his head and looked at her quietly. Su Meng's eyes were complicated, with relief, reluctance, and more importantly, a touch of sadness.
She sighed softly, as if letting go of a huge stone in her heart.
Su Meng in the game also shows a touch of sadness on her face made up of virtual pixels.
"Thank you for giving me so many wonderful memories. Although we didn't get together in the end, I will still cherish this relationship. I wish you happiness."
Her voice was gentle and sad, like a farewell song.
Shen Huai didn't speak, just watched quietly as Su Meng's virtual image gradually disappeared on the screen.
He knew that in reality, Su Meng was also working hard to let go of this relationship and start a new life.
Game scene switching.
When the scene turned, Shen Huai found himself on a lush green lawn.
The sun was shining brightly, the breeze was blowing, and a familiar figure appeared in his field of vision.
With her long flowing hair, delicate facial features, and elegant temperament, she clearly looks like Luo Xiaoya.
She was holding a kite in her hand and looking up at the sky.
The kite swayed in the air, as if it would be blown away by the wind at any moment.
"Look, the kite is about to fly away." Luo Xiaoya's voice had a hint of sadness.
Shen Huai approached her and looked at the kite swaying in the wind, feeling an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart.
"The wind is too strong," Shen Huai said.
"Yes, the wind is too strong." Luo Xiaoya repeated his words, but her eyes never left the kite.
"I always want to hold it firmly in my hand and prevent it from flying away. It's like..."
She paused and turned to look at Shen Huai, with a hint of complicated emotions in her eyes, "It's like I always want to monitor you." (End of Chapter)
