An encounter in the library
Xiaoyue is interested in anime and games, but gradually loses the motivation to pursue her dreams during her university life. Chen Xi's appearance changed his daily routine: she got along well with him and resembled the girl in his dreams. Their relationship began with shared interests and gradually touched on why the world could so closely align with their wishes.
Chen Xi and Xiaoice
Chen Xi comes from a privileged background, speaks well, enjoys anime and games, and dresses differently from other students on campus. Librarian Xiaoice has long known Xiaoyue and is close with Chen Xi, often joking with Xiaoyue and helping them get closer. She sometimes shows insight into the future, adding a suspenseful touch to the library's daily interactions.
Dormitories and campus life
Xiaoyue's roommate soy sauce and fried rice form another set of daily relationships. Soy Sauce is usually easygoing, but when playing games, he's very serious and often argues with fried rice; Fried Rice also enjoys anime works and often becomes the target of jokes among friends. The laughter in the dormitory and the encounter in the library together form the early part of the story about campus life.
Virtual worlds and freedom
The official collection introduces Xiaoice helping everyone build a virtual utopia, making it a key part of this article. The story progresses from romance to questions of reality, dreams, and free choice, with a cyclical structure that gives previous encounters different meanings. Xiaoyue's initial wish about virtual reality is thus connected to the life he is currently experiencing.
