Chapter 333 Hope Ignited
After Tang Xia finished her meal, Ye Yifan hesitated for a while before finally deciding to say it. After she finished her meal and drank some water, her body was obviously better. Her cheeks were even getting their colors back.
“I think you should give up. There are some things that won’t come true just because you persist. After all, we’ve already searched for so long and we still can’t find any traces of him,” Ye Yifan could not help but advise her solemnly.
Tang Xia, who was drinking water at that moment, almost choked. Ye Yifan quickly patted her back to help her breathe but was pushed away by. A pair of cold eyes stared at him sternly and questioned, “What is your point? You can leave, you know? I’ve never forced you to stay with me right from the start, and it still remains the same.”
“But look at yourself, what have you become? If you continue like this, I’m afraid you might break apart!” This was especially so after she suddenly fainted today. Honestly, Ye Yifan was getting more worried now. He was afraid that one day, not only did she not find Chu Tiankuo, she might even lose her life.
Tang Xia slowly stood up and pulled him up too. Ye Yifan looked at her with some doubt. She said in a deep voice, “If you want to leave, don’t take me with you. No matter what, I have to find him. I don’t care how.”
Then, she started to drag him out. Ye Yifan looked at her in shock. However, he did not dare to break free from her grip. He was afraid he might accidentally touch her weak body.
Ye Yifan looked at her and remained silent for a while. Just as he was about to say something, he was suddenly interrupted by Tang Xia’s roar, “Scram!”
Suddenly, he felt a blur before his eyes and the door was slammed in his face. Ye Yifan looked at the tightly-shut door and had no choice but to go back.
Tang Xia watched him leave and then slowly squat down. She hugged herself tightly. “I’m sorry. If I do this, you’ll probably ignore me forever. I’m taking it for granted.”Read More chapter on our vi pnovel. com
In the next few days, Tang Xia locked herself in her room all the time. Other than the meals and water for her necessary energy intake, she stayed in the system in the remaining time and went to those places she had been to with Chu Tiankuo to reminisce.
Almost every grass and every tree in those places were carved into her heart. In the blink of an eye, half a year gone by. She was still so persistent. Her thoughts for Chu Tiankuo never decreased. Until this point in time, she then realized that she was really drawn into it. She was unable to pull herself out.
“But Chu Tiankuo, where are you? I have been waiting for you for so long, but you have never appeared.” Tang Xia looked at herself in the world of “Destroy the Virus” and reminisced, but there was only the scenery to look at, the person was not there.
She had been here for so long that she had forgotten the time. Every day’s search felt like years, so she became unwilling to take note of the time.
Looking at the empty scene, Tang Xia could not help muttering even more. “Chu Tiankuo! Where the hell are you! Did you lie to me? If you lied to me why do you want me to wait for you?” Then, she could not hold it back and slowly crouched down and cried.
At this moment, there was suddenly a loud sound coming from behind her. Tang Xia was inevitably shocked. She turned around to look with her blurred eyes. There seemed to be a few people walking towards her.
Tang Xia was not in the mood to care about them, so she turned her head and ignored them. However, at that moment when she turned her head, she could not help but feel stunned and the tears in her eyes stopped flowing.
She could not help but stood up suddenly and murmured in surprise, “No, that can’t be right. Why are there people in this place? I’m sure…it has already been locked up. I only managed to come in because Ye Yifan hacked the system!”
Hearing the voice behind her get closer and closer, Tang Xia turned around to see. A bunch of fully armed men was standing together, looking at her.
“Who is this person? Is she a virtual character in the system?” One of them could not help but say to another in doubt.
However, everyone did not know, so they ignored her and turned around, ready to advance forward. Tang Xia quickly went up to them and stopped them. She said anxiously, “Who are you guys? How did you come here?”
The group of people looked at each other in the eyes and all chose to ignore her. They turned to leave. Tang Xia frowned and went up once again to ask, “What are you guys trying to do here!” If they were here to cause a mess, she would not allow them to destroy the world between her and Chu Tiankuo.
However, they still bypassed her. They ignored her and walked away. Tang Xia was even more puzzled. After a slight hesitation, she still decided to follow them. After they were gone, she carefully started following slowly by hiding behind a wall.
Suddenly, a pair of hands stretched out to her and pulled her inwards. Tang Xia was shocked. Her brain was unable to process the quick change and she was so shocked she wanted to shout for help. That person quickly covered her mouth.
“Hush! Don’t make any sounds!” Then, he dragged her to a secretive place. Tang Xia was stunned. At this moment, she then realized that this person who stopped her was none other than Ye Yifan. She heaved a sigh of relief instantly. Then, she gave him a glare full of blame.
Ye Yifan was also very helpless. He let go of his hand that was holding onto Tang Xia’s hand. “Sure enough, when I’m not with you, you’ll always do these dangerous things.” He then sighed helplessly.
However, Tang Xia felt that he was being nonsensical. She frowned and asked him full of doubt, “What are you doing here?” He had not been here in a very long time.
However, Ye Yifan started to dodge her gaze unnaturally. He turned to look away. He would definitely not tell her than for the past six months, he had been hiding every day and watching her, afraid that something would happen to her.
“Today is one of those days when I go online occasionally. I didn’t expect you to be so disobedient. Why are you following them for no reason?” There was a trace of dissatisfaction in his tone.
Tang Xia then remembered that she was in the midst of stalking. She instantly blamed him. “I lost them all because of you! Oh right, who are they? Why did they suddenly appear here? I thought only the two of us can come in?”
Ye Yifan was startled. He then suddenly remembered that she had not been out of the house for half a year, so he explained patiently, “Time-travel bar has stopped running. It has now been overtaken by streamers from Cross-era. Those who just walked past are some very popular streamers at present–Mu Chengxuan and the rest.”
Tang Xia could not help but feel shocked. She did not realize that her muddled days had caused her to be unaware of such big changes happening outside.
“That is to say, the previous Time-travel Bar system had been re-enabled by Cross-era?” Tang Xia murmured her question and Ye Yifan nodded in silence.
“You can say that, but the difference is that this world is now the live broadcast world of Cross-era’s most famous streamer, Mu Chengxuan. I remember the name to be “Altar”. Fortunately, I took a glance at the broadcast they were doing outside and knew enough information.”
Tang Xia pondered for a while before suddenly lifting her head excitedly and asked, “Since this world has been reactivated, that is to say, all characters or things should also be reactivated?”
Ye Yifan was startled. Seeing the emotional Tang Xia, he instantly understood what she was thinking. Now, the only person who could make her heart ripple a little was probably that one person.
He could not help but slowly nod and admitted, “By right, it is possible. But you should not get your hopes high up. After all, the virus that the company used when Chu Tiankuo disappeared was a permanent virus imported from overseas. You need to be mentally prepared.”
However, right after he said that, he regretted it instantly. This woman before him had been so muddled for such a long period of time, waiting for Chu Tiankuo. Would she care about the time? Her mental preparedness was done right at the instant when Chu Tiankuo disappeared.
After listening to his words, Tang Xia’s eyes froze. She seemed to recall the scene when Chu Tiankuo disappeared. After such a long time, almost every night, she would still dream of the last sentence he said to her and that smile when he looked at her.
Seeing her become silent instantly, Ye Yifan did not know what to do. After a while, Tang Xia sorted out her mood and turned to smile and look at Ye Yifan. “It ’s okay, I’ve waited so long already. I don’t care about waiting another half a year. Besides, isn’t this the moment I’ve always been waiting for?”Read More chapter on our vi pnovel. com
After saying that, she straightened her back slowly and prepared to head out directly. Ye Yifan stopped her again. This time around, Tang Xia looked annoyed. Ye Yifan said anxiously, “This won’t do either. You haven’t met Mu Chengxuan. His way of handling things is extremely cruel. For your safety, I have no choice but to stop you.”
However, Tang Xia raised her eyebrows with some doubt. “No matter what, I won’t die in the real world. At most, I’ll just lose this chance. But if I don’t go, I won’t even have a chance to try. I’ll lose the chance to see him directly!”
Hearing Tang Xia’s powerful words, Ye Yifan was left with no choice. However, he still did not want her to risk it. His gaze darkened instantly. “Are you sure? But I’m really scared that…”
However, before he finished talking, Tang Xia interrupted him. She leaned forward slowly and gave him a hug. She patted his back and said gently, “No matter how powerful that Mu Chengxuan is, he’s just a human after all. I’ve already waited for so long, I really don’t want to give up this opportunity.”
Ye Yifan could feel that this hug was just a hug between friends without a trace of other emotions. He could not help but let a trace of loneliness flash across his eyes.
She slowly let go of him. Her eyes had not shone like this in the past six months. It was as if there were stars hidden inside them.
Then, she said determinedly, “And Chu Tiankuo gives me the courage to not be afraid.”
