Even before he opened his eyes again, Xie Feng could feel a small, soft hand clinging tightly to his own. He did not need to look at the person to know who this hand belonged to.

The touch, the scent, the sensation of physical contact was something he could not mistake no matter how much time passed.

As he slowly opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was an extremely beautiful and charming face. A pair of black eyes looked at him with concern, love and affection.

"Yaoyao...you didn't sleep well?". Xie Feng asked in a guilty tone after seeing the dark circles under Xie Yao's eyes.

Xie Yao smiled sweetly. She shook her head slightly and responded: "I did sleep. It's just that you were suffering while connected, so I couldn't rest at ease".

Xie Feng said nothing. He sat down on the bed slowly and hugged her gently. How could he not love this girl? A girl who was born with everything and nothing missing is willing to do his laundry, cook for him, clean his room, and worry about his daily meals.

It is impossible not to feel affection for a girl like that.

Xie Yao closed her eyes and curled up on his chest. After taking a comfortable position, she asked in a soft whisper: "While you were inside the game, your body was sweating a lot. I was worried and wanted to turn off the device, but I was afraid to interrupt you...".

Xie Feng gently kissed the top of her head, just above her silky hair, and spoke in a low tone: "Mmh.It was hard, I thought I was going to lose. But I won...Thank you for supporting me, understanding me and being there for me".

"I knew big brother Xie Feng is the best...I'm glad nothing bad happened". Xie Yao's voice gradually faded away until Xie Feng soon felt her breathing become calm and regular. He looked at her sleeping face and couldn't help but feel guilty. Clearly she had not slept all night and stayed by his side until now.

He moved her body slowly so as not to wake her up and put her head gently on the pillow so she could rest better. As he looked at the sleeping face of this 19-year-old girl, Xie Feng's only thoughts at this moment were to protect her and make her happy.

Xie Feng closed the door of his room slowly, worried about waking up the sleeping beauty.

At this point it was 12 noon and it had been 4 hours since Xie Yao had fallen asleep. During all this time, he had stayed by her side while watching her in silence. He was so mesmerized by the beauty that he had completely forgotten that his villa had an extra member since a week ago.

As he walked down the stairs to the second floor, Xie Feng saw a beauty that was not lost on the beauty of Xie Yao and a great body sitting on the living room sofa.

At this time Gu Qianxue had a pair of earphones in her ears, so she did not notice when Xie Feng came to her side until the sofa sank slightly due to the weight of another person.

"Xie Feng! You finally woke up, Xie Yao was very worried about you". Gu Qianxue said after taking off her headphones. Apparently, this girl could already identify Xie Feng and Xie Yao even without hearing the voice or being able to see.

"I'm sorry to have worried you. But there was something important for me to do". Xie Feng responded with a tone of apology. Although he had previously warned both girls that he probably could not disconnect, he has no problem admitting his mistakes.

No matter what the reason, if someone cares about, it means that person really appreciates you. So, what reason does he have to get angry? No reason.

Suddenly, Xie Feng realized that this was the first time he and Gu Qianxue were alone. Since the three of them live under the same roof and go to the same university, they spend most of their time together when they are not in the virtual world.

As if he had noticed something, Xie Feng hit his forehead and asked in a slightly embarrassed tone: "Hey, Qianxue...do you play Samsara Online?".

Since Gu Qianxue moved here, he never asked if she played or not. Since he was always the first one to connect to the game, he also never saw her connect so until now he doesn't know if she played or not.

Gu Qianxue made a nice pout when she heard his question and answered in an offended tone: "Now you ask? isn't it too late?".

Xie Feng scratched the back of his head as he said awkwardly: "*Cough*... Well, we don't usually talk about the game so... I'm sorry".

"Pffft-...I was just kidding, of course I play. My name is Rainbow Butterfly". Gu Qianxue answered while using one hand to cover her mouth, trying to hold back her laughter. These days, she understood Xie Feng a little better. She knows that he is a kind, understanding and intelligent person but he is also arrogant and proud. Therefore, seeing him embarrassed is something new for Gu Qianxue.

Realizing that he was treated like a fool by a girl younger than him, Xie Feng's face, which was slightly pale due to mental exhaustion, turned a little red. He looked at the beauty next to him and said in a serious tone: "How dare you make fun of me? Let me teach you to respect your elders. Look at my Dragon Claw!".

Xie Feng started tickling her fiercely, which caused Gu Qianxue to fall to the couch and start laughing desperately. "Ah! Hahaha...please stop..hehehe".

Xie Feng snorted and continued to tickle at her.

The living room was filled with the joyful laughter of a girl and occasional mockery of a man. He only stopped when he noticed that Gu Qianxue was having difficulty breathing from laughing so hard.

A while later, while Xie Feng and Gu Qianxue were chatting, Xie Yao came down the stairs while yawning softly. She seemed to see that they were both much closer than before but she was not worried about it.

Xie Yao is a smart woman so she had already noticed that Gu Qianxue acted a little differently around Xie Feng. Although she doesn't understand the reason, somehow, she didn't feel anything strange about it.

The three young adults went to the kitchen and prepared lunch together. Laughter and mockery moved from the living room to the kitchen, resulting in a warm atmosphere even on a cold winter day.

Because the player's mind is transported into the virtual world and the body has nothing to do with it, people who suffer from physical illnesses or disabilities in the real world can fully enjoy the virtual world without worry.

People like Gu Qianxue, who never saw the light, were most likely delighted to receive such a wonderful opportunity.

People who are blind, deaf, disabled, etc. No matter what the physical problem is, within Samsara Online, none of this was of importance.

Also for this reason, Samsara Online received the support of practically all the humanity. Because previous virtual games were not of such quality, people with disabilities were not allowed to enter the virtual world as a precaution.

The previous devices did not have the technology to ensure that a weaker than normal person could resist the energy waves directly hitting the brain. But Samsara Online changed all that.

When the news that even people with health problems could enter and enjoy the game without worrying, the whole world was agitated for several days.

Some people doubted, but all people soon accepted the truth after the presidents of the United States, China, Germany, Russia, the queen of the United Kingdom, etc, held a press conference, affirming the truth of the matter.
