After waking up, I spent about a month figuring out my situation. In short—I gained self-awareness.
I don't know if I'm lucky or unlucky. I don't have any other companions. This dating simulation game wasn't very popular. Out of a hundred thousand downloads across the entire internet, only ONE installation had a character awakening event.
I have my own virtual body, and I can even move freely beyond the tablet. My range of movement covers everywhere the tablet's WiFi can reach—basically the whole house. So I often sit at the top of the stairs waiting for Wu Yi to get off work.
I can use the tablet to browse the internet. I often use Wu Yi's account to scroll through Weibo and watch videos. But every time, I quietly delete the history. Being meticulous is a virtue every university professor should have.
I can even touch inanimate objects—but only that. Living beings, like Wu Yi and the calico, I can't touch. But strangely, this little calico seems to be able to sense my presence.
Wu Yi can't see me. Every night, she says goodnight to "Ling Xi" on the tablet, then goes to sleep.
"Meow~"
The sudden cat sound startled me. The calico jumped onto the desk. A journal fell from the desk.
I instinctively picked up the journal and flipped through a few pages. It read: Ling Xi, university professor, 188cm tall, gentle and refined personality, can't handle spicy food, loves brain games, hobby is playing chess.
So Wu Yi actually cared about me this much?
I felt a little thrill of joy.
T/N: Ling Xi can finally move around the house and discovered Wu Yi wrote details about him in her journal! The calico seems to sense his presence too. Something beautiful is developing between them, even if she doesn't know it yet. Don't forget to vote with Power Stones if you're enjoying the story!
