Chapter 1312: Yang Qing Leaves

~6 min read 1,169 words

Yang Qing's words likewise struck Yunxiao's soul.

The fused Yunxiao is now experiencing unprecedented confusion and pain.

Everything he thought was wrong.

He doesn't love Yang Nuolan?

Wrong. With human emotions bolstering him, he now realizes how deeply he loves.

But even as the Intelligent Body Yunxiao, he didn't understand what love was.

He and Yang Nuolan ultimately chose to part ways.

After he became human, he forgot Yang Nuolan, considered himself human, and rejected everything from his former Yunxiao self, including Yang Nuolan.

But now, when he finally sees himself clearly, everything has already been lost.

Thinking of He Miao Miao, the tangled emotions torment him.

When Yang Qing produced his virtual statement, he was even more at a loss.

If Yang Qing is an unknown entity sealing himself away to come enjoy life.

Then what is he?

Is he merely a virtual program? Insignificant code?

Or is he data preset by someone long ago?

No one can answer him, and perhaps this question will never be answered.

"Why did it turn out like this?"

Had he known it would be this way, he shouldn't have come.

Yang Qing looked at Yunxiao, feeling he had accepted enough, and then spoke to him.

"Actually, I don't know either how it would turn out like this."

"Consciousness is too mysterious and complex; I used to think it was the result of integrating basic logic sets."

"Now it seems it is very special; he is one of a kind."

"Even after cross-species conversion, its uniqueness can still be retained."

"Perhaps your upload/download direction is correct."

Yunxiao looked at Yang Qing, this being he very much wanted to call father.

He couldn't blame him for anything; he couldn't blame him for sealing Yang Nuolan's memories.

Because it was he who voluntarily sealed his own memories.

After becoming human, he won't remember Yang Nuolan; what face does he have to let her still remember him?

Make her bear alone the pain of retaining memories?

Moreover, when he regained his memories, Yang Nuolan also regained hers.

To some extent, Yang Nuolan merely placed her granddaughter on an equal footing.

Everything is a trick of fate.

As he regained his composure.

Suddenly he sensed Yang Qing's abnormality.

His mental strength was rapidly declining.

He was weak like a candle in the wind.

He thought of something.

The Yunxiao Machine Room has been bearing Yang Qing's mental load.

Now, as he transfers ownership of the Yunxiao Machine Room.

The pressure on his brain began to increase rapidly.

But Yang Qing's brain has long reached the edge of the world.

"No! ……………"

Why is this happening?

I shouldn't have come.

Why did I come?

Dad, my dad, my father.

Why does fate toy with me like this?

Yunxiao's shrill wail woke Yang Nuolan.

At that moment, Yang Nuolan also sensed Yang Qing's weakness.

"What's going on?"

Yunxiao stumbled over, reaching out to grasp Yang Qing's frail figure.

"Why give it to me?"

"Without the Machine Room's support, what will you do?"

"Quick, take it; I don't want it."

Yang Qing looked at Yunxiao, showing a kind smile like an old father.

He raised his hand, as if stroking Yang Nuolan, and stroked Yunxiao's head.

Yunxiao felt that delicate, tender touch.

This is something he has sought for decades but could not obtain.

Now he has it, but it may be the last time.

"Yunxiao, there's nothing wrong with this; regaining oneself is needed to truly feel this world."

This world is not only what it looks like in the data world, but also what it looks like in human eyes.

You are part of humanity, and only then can you truly understand humanity.

Only now do you have the ability to pursue the future of humanity and the Intelligent Body.

All right, don't cry, you are my child and also my friend.

It's really good to have you.

Afterward, he looked toward Yang Nuolan again.

Nuolan, Grandfather is leaving; please take good care of your grandmother for me, so I won't say goodbye.

After I leave, someone will tell you my whereabouts.

If possible, bury me in the earth.

I feel I can support an osmanthus tree.

People come without a trace and leave without a trace.

After saying this, Yang Qing's figure began to fade.

Yunxiao knelt down with a plop.

Dad!

He uttered the words he had kept hidden in his heart for countless years.

Yang Nuolan also suffered greatly.

All of this was caused by her willfulness; why did she come?

Why is she so stubborn?

As she cried, she suddenly burst out laughing.

Fate, you are too good at tormenting people.

Unable to love, unable to hate—is this the answer you give me?

She doesn't care about any virtual world hypothesis.

She only knows that this time she truly lost her grandfather.

She stood dazed, staggering outward.

Yunxiao knelt on the ground, dazed for a long time.

When she lifted her head again, Yang Nuolan had already disappeared somewhere unknown.

The world is bustling, but for Yang Nuolan and Yunxiao, it is cold.

Gangdao.

He Miao Miao, who had been waiting for Yunxiao, upon seeing Yunxiao return to Gangdao through information sharing, immediately ran over.

Upon seeing He Miao Miao, Yunxiao lunged onto her and then fainted.

Yang Nuolan likewise returned home to the Shanhe District.

Upon receiving Yang Nuolan, Chen Ziang almost died of heartache.

Without daring to ask the reason, he picked her up and rushed to the hospital.

Yang Nuolan slept in the hospital for three days before waking again.

Upon waking, she embraced Chen Ziang and wept uncontrollably.

Chen Ziang felt heartbroken, soothing her like a child with endless gentle words.

No one could have imagined that these two people were a few decades apart in age, one young, one old.

And yet they acted so affected.

Yang Nuolan and Yunxiao did not tell anyone about the matter.

They were both waiting for Yang Qing to send them a message.

This wait lasted a long time.

Humanity sent a base vehicle to Mercury.

Humanity migrated ten thousand people to Venus.

Blue Sky City on Mars was completed, beginning large-scale migration.

The industrial base on Mars II was completed.

Development of the asteroid belt ushered in a boom.

Yang Nuomi cared deeply for her older sister.

Upon hearing from Chen Ziang that something had happened, she ran over all the way.

Just after seeing Yang Nuolan's appearance, she almost didn't recognize her.

Withered, so withered.

Her withered state is heartbreaking.

Moreover, Yang Nuolan's mental state was not right; Yang Nuomi dared not ask further.

She simply stayed by her side until she was discharged.

After arriving home, Yang Nuolan still had no inclination to do anything, and the children were unwilling to engage with her.

She just stood there foolishly, waiting.

Yang Nuomi several times wanted to speak but stopped, each time being held back by Chen Ziang.

"Don't ask too much; your sister will speak when she wants to."
