Subconsciously, he clicked on Wang Xiaoyun’s avatar. Pop! He kissed the virtual avatar, huh, when did her avatar turn into a smiley face? Could she feel my affection? Wondering how to initiate communication like a phone call, he tried messaging, but what about calls or video? Or perhaps there was another new form of… Focusing all his mental energy on Wang Xiaoyun’s avatar, his mind seemed to sink into a quagmire, uncontrollably plunging into the virtual image, which seemed like an endless abyss, pulling his consciousness in. Lin Feng was terrified, yet a strange sensation arose in his mind, as if behind that avatar lay another mysterious world, summoning him.
As Lin Feng’s mind relaxed slightly, a thunderous sound enveloped him with an irresistible force. When he tried to pull back his thoughts, a ripple-like oscillation shook his consciousness, and the virtual system background began to distort, with Wang Xiaoyun’s avatar blurring. In a flash, an extraordinary scene unfolded: Wang Xiaoyun and the old man appeared in Lin Feng’s mind, sitting on the living room sofa, seemingly arguing about something. Lin Feng was shocked, forcing himself to focus, and vaguely heard Wang Xiaoyun’s voice: “Grandpa, Lin Feng is definitely not that kind of person. If he really liked stealing women’s underwear, why didn’t he steal mine last night? We were so close, even sharing the same bed. Am I not charming enough?” The old man was also speaking, but Lin Feng couldn’t make out the words, just a jumble of noise. Wang Xiaoyun continued, “Grandpa, he might be a bit lustful, but I trust his character. Despite all the accusations at school, he never exposed me to clear his name, showing he has principles in matters of right and wrong!” The old man seemed very emotional as well. Wang Xiaoyun clearly disagreed with her grandfather’s viewpoint: “Grandpa, I know you’re worried he might go astray. I’ll call him out now, and we’ll talk it out. I don’t believe he would do such a thing!”
