Section 7: Hurting and enjoying QQing

  Hurry up and QQ happily

  In my spare time, my greatest hobby is surfing the internet.

  My dad can be considered a half computer expert, under his influence, I learned to surf the Internet at the age of 14. However, at that time I rarely chatted online, mainly just browsing some websites casually, later on I got hooked on QQ. On QQ, you can get to know many people and talk about anything with them, anyway nobody knows who is who.

  I met "Free as the Wind" like this. He is my best online friend, a boy from the north who is two years older than me and is now in his third year of high school. He is very interesting to talk to, just like his name suggests - free and easy-going, with topics flowing endlessly and always something new. Of course, I won't lose to him, as I'm known online as "Laughing Pixie", often making him laugh out loud. We chat every Saturday afternoon, and I love it when he calls me "Laughing". I also enjoy hearing his vivid descriptions of the vast snow-covered skies in his hometown, which makes me yearn for that northern sky. I told him that I'll definitely go to university in the north, and he said "Come on, Laughing, come on! I'll take you to see the snow, you can wear a bright red down jacket and jump around in the snow, you'll look like a pixie fallen from heaven!"

  Look at how well others can talk.

  Guan Sha definitely wouldn't, but he also likes to go online and chat. His typing speed is as slow as an old cow pulling a cart, and he doesn't even let me look over his shoulder. Actually, I'm too lazy to look anyway, I just don't want him hogging the computer. It's only on weekends that we have a little bit of internet time, and it would be a waste if he squanders it away. His slow typing is one thing, but I think Guan Sha is the kind of person who can't even finish a sentence in real life. What could someone like him possibly say online? And who would want to chat with him anyway? Plus, I know his username - "Southern Flying Bird". It's not that his username is bad or anything, but looking at his tall and clumsy appearance, how could he possibly fly? He actually chose such a username, it's hilarious, really hilarious!

  Being called "Southern vegetable bird" is actually quite fitting, haha!

  In order to occupy the computer, I had to use some tricks. For example, on weekend mornings, I got up very early because Guan Sha would definitely sleep in late. By the time he woke up, I was already sitting steadily in front of the computer. But I couldn't leave for a moment, if I went to pour a glass of water or answer a phone call, or go to the bathroom, Guan Sha would seize the opportunity to grab the computer and it would be hard to get him off again.

  I had no choice but to turn up the volume of my home stereo, not letting him have his way. Unable to bear it any longer, he turned around and scolded me, saying: "Hey! Turn that thing down a bit!"

  "You play yours, I listen to mine."

  "I say",

  "Mind your own business!"

  He slammed his mouse and said: "Let's play! I'll listen to music, see if you can still keep playing?"

  "Alright! I was afraid he would regret it, so I quickly ran to the computer, put on my headphones and played my favorite MP3. With my ears blocked from outside noise, I happily chatted away on QQ."

  I think that stupid Zhang must be so angry he's about to spit blood.

  I never thought that Guan Sha would sneak a peek at my chat behind my back! By the time I realized it, he was already laughing uncontrollably. He laughed loudly and pointed at the screen, saying: "What's this? 'I still like to be alone... I don't really like girls who talk too much...' Yeah, I'm pretty good-looking, but I'm not arrogant!"
