In silence, looking at his long-lost classmates and friends, the memories of his youth gradually emerged in Sun Yimin's mind.

Speaking of which, back then, Sun Yimin, Liu Ronghua and another boy, Zhou Xiaoyu, became friends because of the smell.

All three of them are relatively smart, and their academic performance during school is naturally not bad. In addition to completing my coursework, I often go to the computer room on campus to play computer games in my spare time. Computer games at the time included stand-alone games and games that could be played over a local area network. There were no online games at that time.

The three of them were originally singles, and they were not in a hurry to fall in love at that time. Sun Yimin feels that life is full of fun, and even if he doesn't fall in love in college, he won't leave any regrets.

In addition to this, there is another important reason why they are single.

As a science major, their "applied computer" class is predominantly male. Although there are a few girls in this class, most of them are ordinary-looking. The only one of them is quite passable, and it was also soaked by the outside. Maybe it's because the boys blame the girls for not being good-looking, and the girls blame the boys for not taking care of their "own" girls at all, and the boys and girls in the class "despise" each other, and the relationship is not harmonious.

The situation in other classes in the School of Computer Science is also about the same, so even if the male students in this department have Yaxing who is in love, they do not have many opportunities.

But then things changed.

In 2000, when they were sophomores, the Internet was booming in China, and although online games were still in their infancy at that time, chat rooms and instant messaging software were already prevalent online. Internet cafes have sprung up near the campus.

Since then, Liu Ronghua's interests have changed, and in his spare time, he is no longer keen on playing LAN games with Sun Yimin and Zhou Xiaoyu, but always runs to the Internet café outside the school.

At that time, there were naturally games on the computers in Internet cafes, but they were still limited to LAN online games.

And the only thing that can really be said to be related to the Internet in Internet cafes is actually chat rooms and the popular instant messaging software - QQ. Liu Ronghua doesn't do anything else in the Internet café, except for one thing - chatting with netizens on QQ.

This is a little incomprehensible in Sun Yimin's opinion: isn't it just talking? Why spend money to go online.

But soon Liu Ronghua brought his new girlfriend to two friends to get to know. The girl is quite beautiful, and she is a freshman student.

Liu Ronghua told Sun Yimin and Zhou Xiaoyu that their girlfriends met through online chats.

Sun Yimin and Zhou Xiaoyu once asked him curiously: "Aren't there netizens on the Internet?" Why are you so lucky that you can find an alumnus of our school as a girlfriend? ”

"You don't understand this, do you?" At that time, Liu Ronghua unexpectedly revealed his secret to the other party, "Start QQ on any computer in the Internet café, click on the drop-down menu in the form of entering the account, and you will see a large row of historical login number records." I wrote down those numbers, then logged in to my QQ, and searched and added these numbers as friends one by one. Among these friends is my current girlfriend. ”

At that time, Sun Yimin and Zhou Xiaoyu thought about it for a long time before they suddenly realized. No wonder, Liu Ronghua would rather spend more expensive money to go to the Internet café to chat.

Later, Liu Ronghua repeated his old skills and found a lot of girls during college.

Soon after, Zhou Xiaoyu also found a girlfriend in this way, and this directly led to the breakdown of Sun Yimin's relationship with his (Zhou Xiaoyu) brother.

After a cold scene, Sun Yimin sighed and said: "Many of our classmates are married, and some even have children in kindergarten. Speaking of which, we are also the fifth king of diamonds......"

"Hehe, to be honest, I actually have a wife." Liu Ronghua's sudden sentence made Sun Yimin stunned. At this time, Liu Ronghua was already sitting in front of the computer screen, with his back to Sun Yimin, fiddling with the mouse.

"What do you mean, where is it?" Sun didn't know why, and asked in surprise.

"Here." Liu Ronghua pouted at the computer screen and gestured to the other party.

"Online games?" Sun took a long time to react.

"Yes."

"The wife in the game is joking." Sun Yimin thought the other party was joking.

"No kidding, we're already married." Liu Ronghua looked serious, and seemed to have a hint of pride.

"Register your marriage?" Sun wondered.

"Marriage in online games. Got it? ”

"Cut!" Sun Yimin scoffed, "You're old, why did you play with such childish things again?" ”

"What age am I?" Liu Ronghua asked with a smile.

"It's almost three!"

"Haven't you heard of forty-one flowers for men, you see that we are still in the state of flowers and bones......" Liu Ronghua quoted scriptures and retorted logically, which made Sun Yimin speechless for a while.

After a pause, Sun Yimin followed the other party's words and asked, "What about yours...... Online Game Spouse ...... How old is it? ”

"She said she was 25 years old, single, and already working."

"Where is she from?" Sun asked again.

"Guizhou."

"Even if you want to engage in online dating, find a reliable one,...... Maybe there's a chance to develop into a real partner. You're ...... What does it mean that the mountain is high and the emperor is far away? As a former sworn friend, Sun Yimin at this moment is really a little anxious for him.

Liu Ronghua sighed, with a certain helplessness, and said leisurely: "It's a long story, in short, it's fate." I made an appointment with her that next year she plans to quit her job and come to Shenzhen to find a job, and then we can be together......"

"Really, really?" Sun questioned.

"Reliable, we're going to meet in reality. She's going to come to Shenzhen next week to play, and I'm going to receive her then. Liu Ronghua's expression in the smoke revealed a certain sense of happiness. This made Sun Yimin wonder, is this guy going crazy in online dating?

"She came to Shenzhen to play alone?" Sun asked.

"Uh-huh!"

"You just said that you have a girlfriend, is it worth it to be this so-called virtual girlfriend of online games?" Sun asked.

"No, that's my real-world girlfriend."

Sun Yimin nodded thoughtfully.

Liu Ronghua focused on his game again, and after a while, I saw him crack on the keyboard and then stopped, turned back to Sun Yimin and said, "Since you came to accompany me, let's play together by the way!" ”

"I'm here to make a living, and I don't have the leisure and elegance of Boss Liu." Sun Yimin flatly refused.

"It's okay to have some time to play. Think of it as killing time. ”

"Time is so precious to me, why should I spend it?" Sun Yimin asked rhetorically.

"I hate you like this, you are young, and you always pretend to be serious." Liu Ronghua glanced at the other party. Turn around and continue to play.

After being silent for a long time, he suddenly seemed to remember something, turned around and asked Sun Yimin: "By the way, where is Xue'er?" ”

"Divided. You know. Sun said lightly.

"I remember you seem to have said it, just...... Why? ”

"Alas...... It's a long story...... Anyway, I'm sorry for her. Sun Yimin sighed lightly.

"You dumped her?"

"So to speak!" Sun Yimin sighed lightly: "But after we graduated, she found a new boyfriend at school." ”

"Uh...... What about you? , have you also found a new love? Liu Ronghua asked.

"I've been single ever since."

"Don't tell me that you still keep your most precious ...... in college," Liu Ronghua said with a grin.

Sun Yimin was stunned for a moment and understood what the other party's words meant. After a moment of silence, he sighed and said, "It's true." After speaking, he silently lowered his head.

"Ahh You've been single all the time with such good conditions, and you're still ...... Aren't you a tyrannical thing! Liu Ronghua looked surprised and puzzled.

Sun Yimin sighed: "Everything depends on fate, you can't force it, there's nothing to regret ......"

"Hey, speaking of Xue'er, I think of Zhou Xiaoyu......" Liu Ronghua sighed, and suddenly his expression was gloomy.

"Alas......" Hearing Zhou Xiaoyu, Sun Yimin also sighed, and couldn't help but feel a trace of guilt.

"If you hadn't robbed his girlfriend back then, he wouldn't have cut off contact with us." Liu Ronghua's tone was flat, but Sun Yimin heard the blame in his words.

"It's true that I'm not good ......," Sun replied softly.

"You said that you are a man of this shape, where can you not find a girlfriend, you have to come to rob your brother." Liu Ronghua continued to blame, as if this incident had just happened recently.

"It's true that I'm wrong." In the face of Liu Ronghua's accusation, Sun Yimin seemed to feel that he was actually a little aggrieved, but he had no intention of refutating it.

Sun Yimin sighed, and then asked, "Have you contacted him?" ”

Liu Ronghua said: "I was also about to ask you this question, but I haven't been able to contact him." ”

Sun Yimin sighed: "Actually, after graduation, I have been trying to contact him and want to apologize to him, but he ignored me. Later, even the mobile phone number was changed, and the QQ number has been offline, and it has been many years. ”

Liu Ronghua was silent.

Sun Yimin looked at his watch and said to Liu: "Discuss a serious matter with you...... From today on, I will be cheeky to you, but I still have to pay the rent, but I don't know the market price of rent here, you ...... Give a standard. ”

"In this way, you play games with me and pay the rent." Liu Ronghua began to smile again. Sun understood his kindness, but still gave him a blank look.

"Okay, don't talk about that." Seeing that the other party was interested, Liu Ronghua turned to him, "The room has been cleaned up for you, the quilt was covered by me, I didn't wash it, you will just take care of it tonight and deal with it yourself tomorrow." There are two keys at the head of the bed, one door and one door. ”

Sun Yimin promised, and when he saw that the time was not early, he washed and went to bed.

The city is full of traffic day and night, and the streets outside the window are brightly lit. But he didn't close the window at the moment. It's a habit he's developed over the years of being single – he's always felt that sleeping with his windows open can reduce his loneliness to some extent. And there's nothing inconvenient about this - for a big man, there doesn't seem to be much privacy to protect while sleeping.
