Jiro could be seen tapping on his phone stalking about Zone's information . He learned that he is a foreigner who just came to China to visit his friend , which is unexpectedly the human who suddenly appeared through thin air in his office , named Yu Yī .

Stalking Zone's newly created account . He stalked and saw that Zone was tagged by his friend Yu Yī on a post . He clicked on it and saw that it was a picture of the trio at the top of ferris wheel . It looked aesthetic as they took it at the time of sunset . The beautiful purplish orange hue of the sky could be seen while at the middle of the picture , there's a shadow of a thin yet slender man being shadow kissed by the darkening sky .

Jiro rubbed the screen and felt his longing within his heart burning again in intense emotions . He could barely stop himself to visit his house and hug him tight.

Jiro excitedly imagined their fateful encounter tomorrow and couldn't sleep because of the thoughts running through his mind .

Zone immediately returned to the World of Fantasy and regressed back to his supposed appearance . He layed on the bed and turned off the night lamp . The moment Zone closed his eyes , Jiro just opened his game and saw that his game character is resting .

Jiro rubbed the little guy and faintly sighed , now that he finally found his wife . He was supposed to neglect and uninstall this game , but he is reluctant to do so .

He felt that neglecting this game character would be just like neglecting his own wife . This game character had talked to him like a real person , and Jiro felt that he couldn't bear to ignore this human like character .

At least he could raise him to what he desires . Jiro rubbed the character's head gently .

[ Cub's Favorability : 57 ]

" Huh? "

" When did the favorability risen? Is there a bug in the game? " Jiro muttered in confusion .

He did not touch his phone when he was on the meeting there's no way the favorability would rise .

Or maybe , it could rise without him playing it .

Jiro pondered about it and then realized that it's a real simulation and the game's time setting must be set on real time . If he neglected the character and doesn't play for a few days , the favorability might drop and if he played 7 times a week , the favorability will surely rise .

Jiro slowly nodded as these thoughts ran through his minds .

Zone was woken up by the gentle breeze upon his hand and flashed a bright yet drowsy smile . " Master! "

Jiro smiled and turned on the microphone . " How are you , did you feel lonely? "

Zone shook his head and climbed down from the bed . " Look master! " Zone said and went to the door and pulled it .

Surprisingly for Jiro , he saw that the door is now unlocked . Jiro touched the door as the scene suddenly changed to the corridor . Then he saw his game character walking down the stairs and roamed around the house to show him the structure .

Jiro asks " are you satisfied that you are able to exit your room now? "

" Yes master " Zone said and nodded with a light smile on his lips .

Jiro watched as his game character strolled around the house and walked outside towards the courtyard where a dazzling moon hung above the sky . It was round and looked gorgeous , one would unconsciously feel nostalgic whenever one gazes above . The solemn atmosphere of the night created a place for one to reminisce their past life .
