Chen Xu returned to his rental, took a hot shower, changed his clothes, sat down in front of the computer, turned it on, and picked up his phone, noticing there was a message on QQ, which he then opened.
His QQ account had been created during middle school, used to keep in touch with classmates and a few online friends. After starting work, he seldom logged in—now logging in only to check emails.
Former classmates and online friends were no longer in contact, and any groups he had joined were set to do not disturb. Occasionally receiving one or two messages, they were mostly ads.
Until recently, when he added Bai Jinxuan on QQ. He couldn't remember her QQ number, only her screen name, and that age-old status. By search, he went through one by one until he found her.
These days, they chatted daily on QQ and had become good online friends.
Of course, up to now, she had not revealed her identity.
After opening QQ, he saw her message from ten minutes ago, "Off work yet?"
