I rushed into the living room and deliberately knocked over the cup of water on the table.
"Crash—"
The cup shattered on the floor, scattering into pieces.
He was startled and looked around suspiciously.
Not finding anything, he sat back down.
This time, his focus shifted to the computer.
He opened the encrypted album on Xi Qian's computer.
It was filled with my photos.
These were screenshots taken from the game, carefully edited into an album, one by one.
Each photo had a caption.
“Li Xiang, you look so good today.” “Li Xiang, how are you so tall?” “Li Xiang, have you lost some weight?” “Li Xiang, I really want to hug you.”…
Each sentence struck at my heart.
He scoffed dismissively, "Hmph, it's just a virtual character; why act like it's real?"
“Is Xi Qian out of their mind?”
"I don't know why I fell for her."
"Damn it, I don't believe this nonsense!"
"What Xi Qian likes, I will destroy!"
Just as his hand was about to touch the computer, I controlled the doll in the room to make it jump suddenly.
"Thud—"
He was startled again.
This time, he jumped straight up from the bed in fright.
"Who is it? Who's there?"
I manipulated the doll to open and close its mouth, speaking in an extremely mechanical and eerie voice: "What—did—you—do—to—my—thing—"
"Ahhhhh!!!"
He screamed and ran away as if fleeing.
I looked at my terrified ex-boyfriend with satisfaction, feeling quite pleased.
This is what you get for bullying my Xi Qian.
You deserve it.
Xi Qian returned home, and it was already eight o'clock in the evening.
She hurriedly packed her luggage, washed up, and put on makeup.
Tomorrow morning, she would go to Station to host a program.
The script was not yet written.
She didn't notice the unusual atmosphere at home.
Nor did she notice me hiding in the corner.
I felt a little disappointed.
But as long as she was safe, that was enough.
Xi Qian was getting busier.
She was so busy that she had no time to rest or chat with me.
She came home late every night.
She also had to find time to prepare the script for the new program.
Every night, she would play a bit of an Otome Game and then tell me about what happened that day.
Sometimes, she was so tired that she fell asleep right away.
I forgot to turn off the game.
I forgot to say goodnight to me.
I want to wake her up and make sure she is covered with her blanket.
But I can't.
On the weekend, she was woken up by a call from her best friend.
Her best friend said on the phone, "Qian Qian, do you remember what your ex-boyfriend said about your house being haunted?"
Xi Qian groggily opened her eyes and asked, "When did that happen?"
Her best friend replied, "It was on October 4th, the day your ex-boyfriend came to your house."
"Oh." Xi Qian rubbed her eyes. "I've been so busy lately that I haven't thought about it."
"I'll check the surveillance footage."
Surveillance footage?
She opened the folder where the surveillance videos were stored.
The folder was empty; there was nothing inside.
She said in confusion, "Hey, where did the files from October 4th go?"
Her best friend was anxious. "I told you, it's definitely your ex-boyfriend trying to deceive you!"
"Qian Qian, he cheated on you before; who knows what outrageous things he might be doing to your family now?"
"Qian Qian, you must not believe him."
Xi Qian smiled and said, "You misunderstood. This surveillance footage is set to automatically overwrite after seven days."
"I forgot to tell him that."
"His character is still trustworthy."
She hung up the phone.
She downloaded a game.
It was the Multiplayer Online Battle Arena that her best friend had been recommending to her.
She registered an account and started playing the game with her friend.
They had a lot of fun.
This game consumed her entire day.
Until bedtime, she didn't even open the Otome Game.
For the first time since I woke up, she didn't say goodnight to me.
A few days later, she met a boy named Ma Xiaowei in the game.
He played as a Mage, had impressive skills, and a pleasant voice, which was the type that Xi Qian liked.
When her best friend wasn't around, they would also team up to play together.
Gradually, the time Xi Qian spent chatting with me decreased.
I realized that I was starting to feel anxious about it.
After she got off work and returned home, the first thing she did was open the game.
When I chatted with her, she would also get distracted by messages in the game.
When I said goodnight to her, she would casually reply with "sleep early."
I knew I shouldn't feel this way.
She wasn't obligated to always focus her attention on me.
She is an individual, not my accessory.
