Chapter 25: The Christmas Covenant
At 0:30 a.m. on Sunday, Mu Die couldn't fall asleep tossing and turning in the bed, still thinking about the elephant's Christmas invitation. Casually put on a coat and turn on the laptop.
The elephant on the other end of the network is studying international financial trends at this time.
Mu Die took the initiative to knock on the elephant on the Internet, and in less than a minute, she quickly received a message from the Internet.
"Good evening, butterfly! What's wrong, can't sleep? Night owl. ”
"Elephants."
"Yo, I'm here."
"I got your Christmas invitation email."
"Uh-huh......"
"You know what!"
“?” Elephant back.
"Over the years, I have unconsciously thought of you on the other side of the network as perfect. I'm scared that once we meet in real life, I will no longer be as innocent as I used to be to you, or you to me. It's no longer just friendship, or it's no longer warm. Or maybe the friendship will go sour. Mu Die finally put the troubles in her heart and said it on the keyboard.
At this time, the elephant on the other end of the network did not respond after reading the text message.
.
After 10 minutes of silence,
"I'm sorry!! It's me who is too abrupt. ”
"Thank you so much for thinking so well about imperfections."
"I've heard it said that there are usually three kinds of people in the online world. The first type of person will highlight his secondary character, the second type of person will become the kind of person he "wants" to become, and the third type of person will become the kind of person he "can't" become on the Internet. In this world, everyone has put on a mask of hypocrisy in different places, the Internet is, and so is real life. Even I have done this at work, and I hope you can understand that at all times, "the heart of defensiveness is indispensable". “
"Not everyone is a gentleman, girls have to know how to protect themselves. Do you understand? The elephant tapped on the keyboard earnestly.
"Understood!"
"Although the online world is illusory, after nine years, butterflies have come to regard elephants as friends they can make friends with, and they are afraid of losing this friend because of this." Mu Die tapped the keyboard again.
"You'll never lose me, at least in the online world. Maybe we all have retained our identities in reality, but for nine years I have really looked at you as a friend, so I mustered up the courage to treat you to a light meal... ”
"I'm sorry!! I'm so sorry that I let the optimistic butterfly have trouble. “
Then came a big sticker of bowing and apologetic.
.
Mu Die looked at the computer screen, the elephant's reply, and her heart was mixed. Thinking about it, did I think too much about it, and finally made such a decision.
"Otherwise!"
“??”
"At eight o'clock on Christmas Eve, we met at the Bund in Shanghai to take pictures of the most beautiful Christmas night scene we saw at that time and send it to each other. Let's spend two quarters of an hour looking for each other, and if we find each other after 30 minutes, let's have a meal together. But if it doesn't work out, this photo will be used as a Christmas gift for each other this year. After that, we'll meet forever in the online world, okay?" Mu Die tapped on the keyboard.
"Good! But there is a request. The elephant responded.
"What?"
"Butterflies should stay in crowded places, just let the elephants go to you. It's too dangerous for you to run around alone. ”
"No problem!!"
"I'll be waiting for you with a red scarf. At 20:30, if I can't wait for anyone, I will leave obediently. "Butterflies.
"It's a deal! No matter how windy or rainy, I will come. "Elephants.
"It's going to be cold at night, so butterflies should wear more, dress warmer, and know how to protect themselves."
"It's cold, but I'm not afraid." Butterfly.
"Why? Aren't you afraid of the cold? "The elephant doesn't know what is going on.
"Because it is so warm to live in your heart!"
"Hahaha...... The butterfly created its own golden sentence to flirt with his brother, and his brother has been flirted. ”
"Remember, wear warmth!" The elephant cared again.
"Okay, well, then you have to cover the quilt at night, don't give me a cold!"
This is the Christmas appointment between elephants and butterflies, and it is also the Christmas appointment between Xiangyun and Mu Butterfly. What will fate do after this night??
In any case, the hearts of both people seem to have begun to look forward to it.
.
"Have you been busy lately? I often don't see you online. The elephant asked again, tapping on the keyboard.
"It's not busy, it's tired. But there were twenty-two days left, and I was free. ”
"22 days? WHY?”
"It's a long story, I met an ice cube face, always a high-minded, fickle personality .........." Mu Die tapped on the keyboard and spoke energetically.
Tonight, the two chatted until late at night, saying goodnight to each other before going offline.
