Chapter 26: A Glimpse of Warmth Beyond the Screen (1)

  Back in the dormitory, unexpectedly all roommates were there. They saw me coming back and started asking "Qing Yi, how did you come back so soon? Didn't you stay with your friends for a while?"

  "No way! We've just met a few times." I said calmly.

  "We've met a few times, and you're still so casual about it! What a huge coincidence!" Dandan said with a smile.

  But listening to her words, I think maybe it's like this, some people will often see him in different places after meeting once. And those who have never met before, even if they brush past you by your side at a later time, you can't recognize them because you've never noticed them.

  "Qing yi ah, we all think you two are very compatible! If you two are together then it's great!"

  "Now, the latest scoop: our Lin Qingyi is the 'dream girl' of all the boys in class. They said it themselves, but they also say that they want to go talk to her but don't know how to start a conversation, she looks too delicate!"

  "This boy is quite good-looking and standing with her makes a perfect scene!"

  They were talking to me in a friendly manner, but I didn't have any feelings about it. However, I also couldn't be too indifferent about it! After all, they are my lovely roommates. They said so also as a kind of hope for me!

  "Shut up, I won't bother with you guys anymore!" Hearing these words, I didn't want to discuss those endless things with them. So for a moment, I had nothing to say and could only retreat like this.

  I opened my computer, found his QQ number and added him as a friend.

  His nickname is: Foam. He is online.

  He said: "Waiting for you, see if you have added me online."

  I asked him: "Why 'foam'?"

  "It's a name that came up with the mood at the time! Bubbles in the sunlight are colorful and beautiful, I like ethereal things."

  "Things that are illusory don't give you a sense of security!"

  "I didn't notice that, I'd better change my username."

  "It's nothing, I was just saying it casually."

  "Floating Shadow."

  "No way." As soon as I saw the word "shadow", a faint pain began to emerge in my heart. Seeing the two words I wrote, I knew I shouldn't have written them like that, what does it have to do with him? But the words I typed out can no longer be taken back.

  "What's wrong?" Did he feel that I was different from before in that instant and raised a question? I couldn't see his expression through the screen. I didn't know if he was happy or worried, and could only judge by the text without any temperature. And I clearly shouldn't have written like that, that sentence "no way" seemed a bit overbearing, he wasn't even close to me, how could I change my tone so suddenly? This isn't me.

  "I'm sorry, I suddenly remembered something and I shouldn't have said that. I take it back. Saying 'take it back' should be okay. I told myself in my heart."

  "What name you think of is what it will be? How can I intervene in this? Hehe." I continue writing.

  "Night Rain Lightly, this is the name."

  "The rain at night is gentle, good, sounds great."

  My username is: Ruò Xuě Piāo Líng. Putting our two names together feels like they are of the same type, one is rain and the other is snow, both are dynamic, and both have a very beautiful feeling.

  "I've been wanting to talk to you about that poem you wrote in the library last time."

  "Alright!"

  Staring at the cold screen, typing these words, looking at his QQ avatar shining there, I felt a little warmth in this spring night with some chill flowing.
