Vivian never expected to encounter Jason Purewater again, especially at University A, her own university.

That day, Vivian was returning books to the library when she ran into a male classmate. After nodding to each other in greeting, Vivian noticed the astonished expression of Jason Purewater standing beside her classmate.

Vivian nodded slightly at him as well, but then walked past him.

Behind her, she heard her classmate's excited voice: "Did you see that? We at University A have beauties too, right? She's the belle of our department, not any worse than your campus belle..."

This chance encounter was quickly forgotten by Vivian. Over a month into the semester, she was busy running around all day, not only studying but also working at the Master Shawn's Company, leaving her no time to think about other things.

Staying at ZyTech was suggested by George Yu.

One day during a meal, George Yu said, "Third Sister-in-law, continue working at the company after the semester starts. Come over whenever you have time. What you learn at the company is much more useful than at school."

Vivian was tempted. Learning at the company was fast, and ZyTech had a bunch of experts. Learning a bit from any of them would be immensely beneficial. Moreover, she was reluctant to leave Dreaming 2 and the company's atmosphere. Of course... getting to see the Master a few more times every day was also nice.

Mozar Ta also said, "Why not just be an unofficial staff member? Third Brother, you should at least give her some salary."

Vivian said, "No need for a salary, just cover my meals = ="

Nai Shawn nodded, "Alright, then I'll transfer the salary to my account."

Vivian: ">o<"

Mozar Ta: "..."

Returning from summer break to pursue graduate studies, Monkey Wine bravely voiced everyone's thoughts: "Third Brother, you're too shameless."

And so, Vivian continued as an unpaid intern at ZyTech. In the golden autumn of October, ZyTech was not only busy with regular work but also with the promotion of Dreaming 2.

Dreaming 2 was finally about to start its promotion.

Before this, there was very little information about Dreaming 2 online. This was partly because everyone thought a long promotion period would reduce anticipation, and partly to consider the operation of Dreaming 1. Now that the closed beta of Dreaming 2 was imminent, the promotion followed promptly.

Setting up websites, organizing materials, making various promotional videos, planning various activities... Vivian was busy running around with the planning department.

Even though she was so busy, Vivian didn't forget to log into Dreaming 1 often to feed her little tiger. Without raising the little tiger's attributes, Vivian always felt like something was unfinished. Raising the little tiger was expensive, so Vivian often made and sold equipment. One day, Vivian arranged to trade with a buyer at 8 PM, but the school teacher suddenly rescheduled a class to the evening, so Vivian had no choice but to ask Nai Shawn to help.

Nai Shawn naturally knew her account password. He logged into her account at 8 PM, gave the equipment to the buyer, and was about to log off when he saw Jason Purewater appear nearby.

His appearance didn't cause any reaction in Nai Shawn. Nai Shawn's fingers still moved towards the red cross in the upper right corner, but just as he was about to click it, two words appeared on the screen.

"Vivian."

Jason Purewater called out "Vivian."

He hadn't called her "Vivian" in a long time. Before the divorce, he also called her "Vivian", but after the divorce, he called her "Reed". Now, calling her like this made his heart flutter, but seeing that Reed Vivian had no special reaction, he felt a glimmer of hope.

Jason Purewater himself didn't know what he wanted to do by calling out to Reed Vivian. Ever since he saw Reed Vivian in person during the summer vacation, he had been feeling uneasy, even somewhat distracted with Little Rain Fairy.

It wasn't until later when Dry Smoke said there was no Reed Vivian at University X that he felt a bit better and rekindled his enthusiasm for Little Rain Fairy. Little Rain Fairy's academic background was always higher than Reed Vivian's, so his initial decision wasn't entirely wrong. To prove his unwavering affection, he showered Little Rain Fairy with gifts. But this behavior, while meant to please Fairy, was also a way to convince himself.

However, he saw Reed Vivian again at University A.

She was actually a student at University A?!

Jason Purewater suddenly felt uncomfortable all over. This discomfort reached its peak when he heard Thunder Nina say that Reed Vivian's boyfriend was Smiling Naihe.

If... he hadn't divorced back then, would he be the one today?

No matter how many twists and turns Jason Purewater's mind went through, after calling out to Vivian, he found himself at a loss for words. Fortunately, he soon realized that the place they were standing was a rarely visited spot where he and Reed Vivian had once come to take on a task.

Jason Purewater finally found a breakthrough and began reminiscing about the past.

He spoke with enthusiasm and emotion, but Nai Shawn had no patience to read word by word. However, he didn't stop him either, occasionally glancing at the screen while handling work. When Jason Purewater asked if Reed Vivian wasn't responding because she was offline, Nai Shawn even moved his foot slightly.

Encouraged by Reed Vivian's step, Jason Purewater reminisced even more about the past. Finally, when Jason Purewater ran out of things to say, Nai Shawn moved his mouse and leisurely typed six words in the chat box.

"I am Smiling Naihe."

What a kill!

What a perfect strike!

A few seconds later, Jason Purewater completely disappeared from Reed Vivian's sight.

Nai Shawn never mentioned this to Vivian, so Vivian naturally didn't know that he had eliminated a rival in love with just six words. Vivian continued raising her little tiger, and when she didn't have enough money to buy elixirs, she would log into Smiling Naihe's account to transfer some assets. After all, the little tiger was partly his responsibility too, and it wasn't fair for her to raise it alone.

Amidst all this busyness, by the end of October, the company was ready. On November 1st, the Dreaming 2 website launched, releasing promotional materials and videos, and the website's first-day traffic broke records. The released materials and promotional videos were frantically reposted on major gaming forums.

Vivian spent several hours in her dorm reading comments and suddenly thought of checking Dreaming 1, where there should also be a lot of discussions. Sure enough, as soon as she logged in, she saw a bunch of people talking about Dreaming 2 on the 'World' chat. Most people were praising it, and even the few who were resistant were worried about their equipment losing value. Many were eagerly anticipating the test and discussing how to get a test account.

Seeing the Master's game receive such positive feedback, Vivian was naturally very happy. But seeing everyone talking about playing Dreaming 2, she felt a slight sense of melancholy. After wandering around Chang'an City for a while, she received a text from Nai Shawn saying the meeting was over. Vivian replied: I'm in Dreaming 1, come online too, many people are discussing Dreaming 2.

Soon, the White-Clad Musician logged in, and the two of them hid their names and strolled through the streets of Chang'an. Watching the bustling streets of Chang'an, Vivian said, "With Dreaming 2 out, the most affected will be Dreaming 1, right? Will it gradually lose players and then stop operating?"

"No, Dreaming 1 will continue to operate," Nai Shawn, as a collaborator of FenTech Online Games, naturally knew these things.

"But Dreaming 2 will definitely take away many players. If the number of players keeps decreasing, won't the game company shut down the servers?"

"No matter how good a new game is, there are things in old games that can't be replaced. Not everyone will leave," Nai Shawn said. "Moreover, permanent operation was a promise FenTech made to the players."

"That's what they say, but there have been games that promised permanent operation and ended up closing."

"I can't guarantee forever, but I think it should be fine until our kids can play games."

Vivian was embarrassed: "Kids..."

"Yes," the White-Clad Musician stopped and calmly said, "At least bring them here to tell them where we said our first words."

Only then did Vivian realize they had unknowingly walked to the edge of Bird Bridge. Beneath Bird Bridge, the willows still swayed, the scenery unchanged. And the White-Clad Musician was still the same as when they first met.

The White-Clad Musician said, "Let's go, it's been a while since we enjoyed the scenery. Let's take a stroll."

So they rode the white eagle, visiting Heavenly Mountain Snow Pool, West Lake Bottom, Snow Sea Ice Field, Fairy Island... just like when they were on their honeymoon.

Finally, they arrived at Sunset Peak.

The sunset was magnificent.

Suddenly, Vivian felt that the problem she had been worrying about was not important at all.

Even if the servers were to shut down one day, it wouldn't matter.

As long as she remembered when and where he said his first words to her.

Remembered where they went to see the scenery.

Remembered the mountains and rivers they flew over on the white eagle...

Those memories wouldn't disappear just because the data did.

So, even if this game were to close in the future, there would always be a place in this world—perhaps in my heart, perhaps in his heart—where the Dressed in white and black, walking together stand side by side.

Watching the never-setting sunset on Sunset Peak.
