Xu Shu’s nights used to consist of nothing but the ceiling and herself.
Then Lu Huai showed up, and the chat window became the thing she most looked forward to opening each night.
She sent him photos of her meals, screenshots of the sunset, and tearful messages when she failed an exam.
Her best friend: “Why haven’t you been having trouble sleeping lately?”
Xu Shu: “...The weather’s nice.”
Her best friend: “What does nice weather have to do with messaging someone at two in the morning??”
Then came the day they finally met. Xu Shu stood at the station exit, watching the boy walk toward her
Lu Huai: “Weren’t you pretty talkative online?”
Xu Shu: ...Chatting online and talking face-to-face are two completely different things!!
Lu Huai’s perspective: Plan successful ✓
Xu Shu’s perspective: Oh no, I’m falling for him.
Good-looking, very good
Pretty and sweet
