Wei Shenglan wanted to walk to her but he lost control of his feet. He stood there unmoved and said, “I don’t like the way you’re looking at me now.”

What was he talking about?

Ye Xi really wanted to ask but no words came out of her mouth. She felt very guilty and upset.

The two looked at each other and were speechless.

Wei Shenglan thought his state of mind wasn’t good right now. But he didn’t want to leave. An idea popped in his head. He walked over to her side and picked up a book, beginning to read it.

Ye Xi’s arm touched his. The slight warmth told her that he was a living person who had his thoughts. He was a human who could be happy or sad.

Ye Xi seemed to be burnt from this. She moved a few steps to the side.

Wei Shenglan glanced at her and followed her footsteps.

Their arms touched each other again.

Ye Xi was a bit irritated. She moved a few more steps to the side.

Wei Shenglan followed again, not admitting defeat.

Their arms touched again.

Despicable.

Ye Xi moved again but before she could, her back touched the wall…

Heaven wants her to die.

Ye Xi couldn’t help but feel sorrow.

There was no movement by Wei Shenglan’s side. He stood at his original spot, reading a book.

Ye Xi glanced at him a few times but he concentrated on reading. Then, she realized that he was holding the book upside down…

Wei Shenglan’s hand trembled and said calmly, “I’m practicing to read upside-down recently.”

Why is he practicing this?

She really couldn’t understand the rich people’s world.

Ye Xi didn’t understand but she didn’t ask. She nodded her head and hummed.

After experiencing Wei Shenglan’s childish behavior, the feeling of guilt, self-reproach, and sorrow faded a bit away. However, there was more of a strange feeling now. For a moment, she didn’t know how to get along with Wei Shenglan. Everything had been overthrown in the past and now she needed to find a new way to get along. She was in a difficult position.

The two read their books, standing shoulder to shoulder. However, they both weren’t reading it.

Regarding their relationship and way of getting along, Ye Xi thought a lot. She wasn’t in the mood to read at all.

On the other hand, Wei Shenglan was concentrated on listening to Ye Xi’s mind and he wasn’t in the mood to read either.

From Ye Xi’s mind, he found out that she started to accept this world, not as a world of stories, or to be more accurate, not as a “virtual” world, but rather a real world. She was embarrassed for trying to matchmake him and An Mudie in the past out of her impulse. 

She was thinking about how to get along with “real humans”.

Wei Shenglan who was originally upset because of her sorrowful gaze slowly felt happy. He thought that the only reason how Ye Xi was able to stop viewing the world as a “virtual world” was because of him and other unimportant people. They had been accompanying her the whole time so she was slowly able to escape this mindset.

“Although I don’t know why you’re irritated,” Wei Shenglan closed the book and said, “-but I can help you. After all, you are the most important assistance in our team.”

“Uh.” Ye Xi turned around to look at him only to see him looking seriously. It was rare for a young man to look full of energy and vigor.

It’s not that Ye Xi was lonely. In the past, she had the goal of letting An Mudie becoming the female lead which is why she had neglected this feeling of being separate from the world. Even if she was in the bustling city, she only felt loneliness. But because of the slag, it had overthrow all her thoughts on the world. All sorts of emotions surged in her mind as she suddenly needed to face this situation. She was panicking.

But from now on, it seemed like there’s a place she belonged to in this world.

She had An Mudie, that very foolish and innocent friend who was straightforward in her words. She had Wei Shenglan who had similar interests as her. She had Ding Xiuxiu and Bing Yiyi, these “enemies” who were too stupid for their good.

Actually, she wasn’t lonely.

But she still felt very guilty.
