Upside-Down Sandbox

One-on-one romance, happy ending

Yu Sheng: Normal person (social judgment) + big shot (industry judgment) + obedient patient (psychiatry) + boring personality (self-assessment) + human (biological classification)

Hui: Socially awkward (social judgment) + robotic (social judgment) + unclear whether friend or foe (business partner’s judgment) + I’m not human (self-assessment) + I’m human (self-assessment)

Who are you?

Who are you… to me?

I don’t quite understand what you mean.

You’re a very good person.

I learn to be an NPC, and you learn to be human.

Everyone at the company who had ever played a sandbox game knew that the logistics department had an excellent manager. When he was involved in a game, you could forget about infinite-flow survival and do as you pleased, taking an unconventional shortcut.

But life is full of surprises. Three years ago, that reliable pillar suddenly left the front lines and switched to training. Few people knew why.

Don’t ask. Company policy.

Only he knew that this wasn’t the only reason he couldn’t set foot in the sandbox.

In the realistic illusions built from countless sandboxes, there was always one person he couldn’t see, shouldn’t see, didn’t dare to see, and yet desperately wanted to see.

Hui: It’s been a long time. I hope you’ve been well, my (longed-for)… person.

Their relationship has its ups and downs, but they’re both sweet on each other.
