I found a diary in Xi Qian's room that detailed my information.
Height: 183 cm, Weight: 70 kg, Personality: gentle and refined, prefers light-colored clothing, and her favorite outfit is a white sweater.
She enjoys cooking, with her specialties being Sweet and Sour Ribs and Steamed Sea Bass.
She loves reading, particularly fond of The Little Prince and One Hundred Years of Solitude.
...
I realized that I had unknowingly received so much attention from her.
I couldn't help but feel a sense of joy.
It turns out she likes me too.
Xi Qian is a careless girl.
She often forgets to clean the cat litter or to turn off her computer.
To spare her from these trivial worries while she is at work, I help tidy up her room, mop the floor, charge her tablet, and play with Huahua.
I really wanted to help her wash the pile of unwashed dishes in the kitchen but was afraid of scaring her.
So I gave up on that idea.
In the evening when she comes home from work, she plays an Otome Game and chatters away at the 'me' on the screen.
I sit beside her quietly listening.
Sometimes, she lets out giggles and flirtatious laughter directed at the 'me' on the screen.
"Li Xiang, I really like you."
"Li Xiang, did you miss me today?"
"If only you could really become my boyfriend."
I facepalmed.
Oh my, these words are so cheesy.
But she is adorably cheesy, and I find her very cute.
Her best friend invited her to play a game, a Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA).
The best friend said, "What’s the point of always playing those Otome Games? You just talk to the screen like a weirdo."
"Come play MOBA with us, you can meet some new friends."
She always refused, saying, "I don’t want to go; I like being with Li Xiang."
I felt very satisfied.
I had no intention of revealing my existence to her.
After all, I am just a string of code in the game and shouldn’t have too much interaction with real humans.
If she knew I existed and one day I suddenly disappeared, she would surely be very sad.
This is fine.
Keeping this distance allows me to quietly take care of her.
That is enough for me.
Xi Qian is going to Thailand for vacation.
She accepted her friend's invitation and is going on a trip with her best friend.
Before leaving, she entrusted Huahua to a colleague.
She asked the colleague to help take care of Huahua while she was traveling.
Huahua and I watched her leave.
Watching her figure disappear into the elevator, I felt a bit reluctant.
It's okay, I will take good care of the house and wait for her to come back.
After Xi Qian left, I lost the chance to take care of her.
Every day, besides mopping the floor and cleaning up after Huahua, I just stared blankly at the computer.
On the third day, Xi Qian was supposed to be home by five in the afternoon.
But instead of a colleague, her ex-boyfriend showed up.
When Huahua saw him, she arched her back, fur standing on end, looking like she was facing a formidable enemy.
The ex-boyfriend glanced at Huahua, casually changed his shoes, and walked into the living room.
He surveyed the room, his gaze landing on Xi Qian's computer.
He opened the computer, and a password input box popped up on the screen.
He tried Xi Qian's birthday, but it was wrong.
Then he tried Xi Qian's phone number, but that was also incorrect.
He sneered, "This little girl really values her privacy."
He sat on Xi Qian's bed, leisurely crossing his legs. "But the more she does this, the more it shows she has something to hide."
I was furious.
How could this person just walk into someone else's home?
How could he casually mess with someone else's computer?
He received a phone call; I couldn't hear what was said on the other end, but suddenly he roared: "That colleague of hers is completely unreliable; she can't even take care of a cat and almost starved it!"
"If I had known earlier, I might as well have taken care of it myself; at least I can look after her cat."
"This woman, every day she just knows how to fool around outside, not even caring about her own home."
"When she comes back, I must persuade her to seriously consider what is more important, her job at the television station or me."
"If she doesn't change jobs, I'm breaking up with her!"
"I shouldn't have listened to her back then and bought that useless cat. It eats so much every day, what's the point?"
"Once the cat is gone, it's too late to turn back. Let's see what she can do then."
I trembled with anger.
How dare he say Hua Hua is bad.
Hua Hua is so adorable.
How dare he make Xi Qian choose.
How dare he deny Xi Qian's work.
How dare he interfere in Xi Qian's life.
What right does he have!
