September 29th, the dormitory lights were about to go out. Shi Nian rubbed her eyes and said goodbye to her online friend, Yan Qi.
[10]: Sorry, I have to log off now. By the way, I won't be coming online tomorrow. Good night.
"10" was her username. To be honest, what first caught her attention about Yan Qi, and what drew Yan Qi to notice her, was indeed this username. Since both of their usernames were related to numbers, they probably found it amusing.
After saying good night, Shi Nian directed her mouse toward the close button, but couldn't help holding her breath and paused. Then she quietly watched his avatar.
Usually, after she said goodbye, his avatar would also soon dim.
She didn't know when it started, but it seemed like he came online just because she was online. If she logged off, he would certainly disappear immediately after.
This feeling made her heart feel warm.
