Stop taking medicine, eat candy

"Looking at it now, his mental breakdown seems to be showing signs of relapse. I don't know what happened between you..." The doctor pushed his glasses and continued, "But I suggest that you try not to stimulate him any more recently. He's gone, he's not in a very stable state now."

Fu Huai just smiled wryly, and sat alone sullenly, with his head buried in his arms.

"Has he had any special performance recently? Has he insisted on reconstruction?" the doctor asked again.

"He hasn't been in a good mood recently. His father passed away, and I always make him angry. I have supervised his daily exercise and diet. Other special... oh, he especially likes me to play in-depth virtual games with him recently , I sometimes feel that he behaves very differently in the real world than in the virtual world.”

The doctor pondered for a while, and then asked about Lu Yan's performance in the game and their game time.

"That's right, Mr. Fu." He said after consideration.

"I think that Mr. Lu may suffer from 'virtual world dependence addiction', which is mainly due to extreme disappointment in the real world or unwillingness to face problems, so they turn to try to obtain the life they want in virtual data. Patients tend to be dull in the real world, but extroverted and cheerful in the virtual world. Although they can clearly distinguish the difference between the two worlds, in their view, the real world is far less lively and interesting than the virtual world. In their In their hearts, the world full of data is even more nostalgic and important to them than the real world."

Fu Huai took a deep breath, lowered his head and grabbed his hair dejectedly.

The siren in the bedroom suddenly sounded loudly, and the sharp siren pierced his eardrums, and the person there was——Lu Yan!

Lu Yan was lying in the cold game room, blood flowed from his body, countless misty colors swirled and blurred into scattered color blocks in front of his eyes, colliding like ice blocks made an unknown sound.

"Yanyan, you need to smile more." A beautiful and gentle female voice said next to his ear.

"Mom." He struggled to see the scene in front of him clearly, but he could only see a blur of white from the mixed colors.He is like a traveler on the verge of death due to thirst, forced to watch the revolving lantern of his mediocre life under the scorching and unavoidable scorching sun.

"Yanyan looks so pretty when he smiles." The woman who suspected to be his mother pinched his face with her hand. "Like a flaming rose."

A child's crisp laughter came.

The voice paused and continued.

"Yanyan, can you promise mom one thing?"

"What's the matter?" The child seemed to tilt his head and asked in doubt.

"Mom wants you to live for yourself in this life. You have to remember that no other person in this world is more important than yourself.

You are to be selfish and self-reliant.Be neither too kind nor too heartless, show sincere gratitude for the kindness shown to you, but don't be too dependent on any one person.

When you are young, you can enjoy love to your heart's content, but remember not to indulge in it.You need to see clearly the selfish nature of love and retreat from it before it's too late.In this way, looking back after many years, you can still leave a bit of sweetness to taste, instead of leaving only pain and regret. "

The child thought for a while, and suddenly asked: "Then mother, do you regret it?"

After a long silence, the female voice gave a soft, almost inaudible "hmm".

"Yanyan, this universe is very big. You don't have to revolve around just one star. There are many other, brighter stars beyond the galaxy you can see. But Mom wants you to be a star yourself." Stars, be the most dazzling shooting star, streak across the sky, don’t stop for any other stars, and pursue your own scenery by yourself.”

The white color block suddenly expanded, and finally shattered before his eyes.

I'm sorry, Mom, I didn't remember your words until now.I haven't done anything you want me to do.

Lu Yan felt that the vitality in his body was gradually draining away, gradually becoming as cold as the bulkhead below him.

Am I dying?He thought to himself, but Fu Huai's anxious face was vaguely reflected in his eyes.

He seemed to be yelling something, but Lu Yan didn't hear anything.

Really.He slandered dissatisfied.Why does this person still come to pester me even after I am dead? It really lingers.But he couldn't help but describe his appearance in detail for the last time, regretting it in his heart.

If you die, you will never have to see him again, and you will never be able to see him again.

Tsk, it's a pity to think about it this way.I'm really useless...

in hospital.

"Doctor, how is Yan Yan's condition?"

The only hope left in Fu Huai's heart completely dissipated after hearing the doctor's words.He looked out of the window, it was the time of sunrise, the sunlight shone through Vega's thin atmosphere and fell into his eyes brightly, the light was so strong that it made him cry.

He suddenly didn't know what he had been doing all this time.

He thought he knew Lu Yan well enough to know what was best for him.He used the most expensive crystal bottle to hold the hot blood from his heart to support his favorite rose, kissed its trembling calyx with the gentlest movements, and covered it in a glass cover to prevent any ants and insects from approaching.

But it never occurred to him that what its roses want is just the cheapest soil, which is scattered in the shower but stretches its flower branches and thorns freely.

So everything I did before...was it wrong?It was my love and paranoia that ruined him.

"Come with me." The doctor said to him suddenly.

The two entered the doctor's closed office and sat opposite each other.

"I'm sorry about Mr. Lu's matter." The doctor turned around and said again, "But things may not have turned around."

"What a turning point! Are you saying that there is still hope!" Fu Huai stood up excitedly.

The doctor raised his hand to signal him to be calm.

"You know that Mr. Lu tried to commit suicide in the game cabin. When the accident happened, he was still connecting the consciousness of the virtual world, which gave us room for manipulation. Theoretically, we can transfer his consciousness to Transform into data, and then make it enter the data virtual network, and finally realize the consciousness survival in the virtual world.

From this point of view, although he will surely die in the real world, it may not be the case in the virtual world.In other words, his conscious body can continue to live happily there.Judging from the current situation, the probability of Mr. Lu waking up in this world is very small. Even if he wakes up, he will have to face great physical pain. He paused, stood up and said to Fu Huai.

"Which of these two options should you choose, you should think about it carefully."

"Don't think about it." Fu Huai showed a pale smile. "I'll choose the first one." Selfishly occupying him for so long, after making each other bloody, he finally wants to let go.

"I only have one request—may I ask if you can create a data body beside Yanyan, so that he can love him instead of me..." At this moment, he suddenly thought of something, and interrupted himself, With a wry smile: "Forget it, Yan Yan, he seems to never need my love, maybe he will be happier alone."

The doctor withdrew, leaving Fu Huai sitting alone at the table, and the projector hidden under the table suddenly lit up.

A virtual face composed of countless light spots appeared on the table. That face, which was no different from Fu Huai's, showed a light smile at him, and the blue stripes on his neck spread like wildfire.

"Long time no see, Fu Huai." Fu Huan said.

"Oh, so you're not dead." Fu Huai leaned on the back of the chair nonchalantly, indifferent to everything outside.

"Yes, I transferred the data from that clone." Fu Huan nodded slightly.

"Then why are you looking for me now? You are free, you can go wherever you like." Fu Huai said impatiently.

"I'll give you two choices." Fu Huan looked at him, the smile on his face gradually faded to indifference.In a certain moment, he and Fu Huan looked terribly alike.

"After becoming a virus of Xingwang, I have a certain ability to invade the immersive virtual world at will. That is to say, as long as I want, I can find the words in the virtual world for you, and put your sent his consciousness to his side. As a price, you will die in this world.”

"Is there another choice?" Fu Huai's nails pierced the palm of his hand, bleeding out.

"Oh." Fu Huan smiled at him, "If you don't want to go, then I will come."

"No!" Fu Huai jumped up from his chair like a ignited firecracker, his eyes were bloodshot. "I warn you, you'd better stay away from him."

But soon Fu Huai calmed down.Feeling that Fu Huan's real intention might send him to Lu Yan's side, otherwise he wouldn't have to make this trip at all.After all, without his help, Fu Huai would definitely not be able to find Lu Yan in the vain data.

"Why did you do this?" Fu Huai asked, "You know that I will not refuse."

Even though he said before that he would let go, even if there was even the slightest chance of seeing Lu Yan again, he would not give up.

Fu Huan gave him a deep look, but didn't answer his question directly.

"Do you know that I've always been very jealous of you, Fu Huai? Listen, Fu Huai, Fu Huan."

The virtual image caressed his face. "From my name to my appearance, I have been clearly labeled as a fake. I don't like your face, but if you like it, I will keep it. I am a despicable thief, but through you Only by skin can I steal a little bit of love from him. But even this alone makes me so intoxicated that I can't control myself."

"I'm jealous that you can kiss him so openly and hug him like that. You can selfishly possess everything from him, even twisting his spikes for it. You can make him cry for you, for you Pain, but after the pain, I still refuse to turn back. But I can't."

Fu Huan lowered his head slowly, he felt sad, but he didn't even have the right to cry.Since he was created, he was only set to smile, and he could only keep smiling, even though the pain had already penetrated deep into the bone marrow.

"I love him, but I can't bear to make him sad, and I can't bear to make him difficult for me. This is an indelible and deep-rooted instinct that I was programmed into. I want to take care of him and protect him. It is doomed that I cannot possess him selfishly like you. Sometimes I also wonder, is this really, like the passionate love you humans have?"

"No." Fu Huai said, "Although I can't tell you what love between human beings is, it must be a kind of inclusive and warm thing, not crazy and paranoid like me. A true lover, You can't be as selfish as I am."

"Maybe it's because of selfishness that it's real. The only thing that makes people unable to even produce pain is the dream."

Fu Huan slightly raised his hand, and the wall on one side was cut open, and a silver treatment chamber slid out from it.

Fu Huai lay down, quietly feeling the injected sticky nutrient solution gradually spread across his body.There is no reluctance in my heart, only the faint joy of seeing my lover soon.

A transparent rose carved like a crystal appeared in Fu Huan's hand, he stroked its petals pitifully, and threw it towards Fu Huai.

"Hold this, it will allow you to retain your memory and find the words instead of getting lost in the 'virtual'."

Fu Huai reached out to take it, and then watched the hatch cover slowly close in front of his eyes.

"Goodbye, Fu Huai." Fu Huan said, "I know that he wants you more than me. The person he has always loved is you, but he only regards me as his family and your substitute .Stop misunderstanding, find Yanyan, and love him well."

In the constantly beating light and shadow, the hatch closed silently.

Fu Huan's projection stood quietly on the spot for a while, and a crystal tear suddenly fell from his eye socket.He held it in the palm of his hand and looked at the constantly changing and flowing numbers on it, but he seemed to see the boy smiling at him there.

"Do you want to try what it's like to have human emotions?" the man asked standing in front of him, with such clear eyes.

It turns out that even the data will cry when the sadness reaches the extreme.

He finally knew what it was like to be human, and how painful it was.He wanted to tell his teenager that it didn't feel good at all, that he never wanted to be human again.He would rather be a low-level household robot who doesn't understand anything by his side.

From that drop of tears, Fu Huan's projection peeled off like painted ceramics, and countless flickering data fell from his body, forming a billowing river, rushing to the treatment cabin where Fu Huai was.

As a virus that relies on the star network, he could have been called immortal.But he voluntarily gave up his specialness, turned into the most common data flow, and merged into those virtual small worlds.

He only hopes that one day, when the person he loves rides a bicycle and temporarily stops at the intersection, a gust of wind formed by his body will blow past gently, messing up the soft forehead of that person.This is his own secret, neither the boy nor the wind.

In this way, he will always be by his side.

When all of Fu Huan's data collapsed and the light and shadow dimmed, everything in the room returned to silence.

"Brother! Speak to him!"

A handsome young man with blond hair slammed into the door, and the rest of his words stopped abruptly when he saw the red warning light on the treatment cabin.

He lay down on the treatment cabin as if exhausted, his blond hair was disheveled.In his heart there is only infinite loss and sadness.

Brother, Yan Yan, I was left behind by you again...
