"I don't want to be a family with him!" or maybe he wanted to get your attention, let you know that he's also an important person in this house!"; "So narrow-minded?"; "Why else? But if I had a sister, I would definitely spoil her, why does your brother still want to make things difficult for you?"; "Not my brother!"; I corrected him, "His name is Guan Sha."; "You two have weird names! This isn't a family, not even the same household! Haha~~~"; "I don't want to be a family with him! We're like water and fire, incompatible!"; "Ah! If I were Guan Sha, how lucky he would be!"; I detected a hint of admiration in Freedom's words and felt a bit embarrassed. He quickly added, "Having such a lovely and clever sister must be very fortunate!"; "Really?"; "I swear! Among the girls I know, Smile is the most lovely and intelligent one!"; I placed my hand on the keyboard and smiled smugly. Maybe it's a common trait among girls, but I love hearing compliments, so chatting with Freedom was really enjoyable. So I said, "If you were Guan Sha, I would be very happy too."; After finishing speaking, I quickly logged off. Imagining Freedom smiling foolishly on the other end made my mood improve as well. Walking from the study to the living room, Tian Ai Auntie sat in her favorite corner of the sofa. Guan Sha and Dad were nowhere to be found. Seeing me come out, she asked, "Not going online anymore?"; I felt a bit embarrassed and said, "No more, want to read books now."; She invited me to sit in front of her and then said, "Guan Sha's self-esteem is a bit strong, don't mind him."; Tian Ai Auntie's words made my face flush red instantly. With a red face, I said, "Sorry, I didn't let him today. But, I had to go online today because I promised my net friend and couldn't miss the appointment."; Tian Ai Auntie smiled and said, "Nowadays it's popular to have net friends, we used to write letters and call them pen pals. I think that feeling is quite nice!"; She said this while sitting on the sofa, leaning her head back, eyes closed, reminiscing about something with a pleased expression. "You also had pen pals?"; I was a bit disbelieving. "Yes! We exchanged letters every month, talking about everything!"; "Having pen pals is not as interesting as having net friends! Chatting online is like having a friend sitting in front of you face-to-face, very direct and reacting quickly to what you say, it's thrilling!"; "What do you guys talk about?"; Tian Ai Auntie had a professional habit, like conducting an interview, she looked at me with great interest, almost putting the microphone in front of me. I dodged the question and said, "We talk about everything, wherever the conversation takes us!"; Of course, I wouldn't tell her about my conversations with Freedom. That's my secret, the crystal-like moments of growth, shared with a distant boy whose appearance I don't even know, how wonderful! Now, Freedom has become a very special friend to me, and I often copy our conversations and re-read them when I have nothing to do. It seems like there's never been such a boy by my side who understands me and cares about me, although we're far apart but connected in heart. This feeling is really wonderful, making me cherish it to death.
