Xia Lian was a little nervous.

Holding the new phone, I felt awkward sitting or standing, clutching it to my heart like a precious treasure, afraid that it might suffer even the slightest bump or scratch.

"Ah..." She blinked and let out a soft exclamation of surprise.

There was a fingerprint on the phone screen. Xia Lian looked around in a panic. When she saw the tissues on the table, she quickly grabbed two and carefully wiped the fingerprint off before she breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at the new phone in my hand, I just couldn't calm down.

Although I felt bad about spending Wenmo's money on my wallet, it was a gift he gave me, and Wenmo had said that it couldn't be returned after it was bought, so I had to use it properly.

Wen Mo, who had just finished eating his fried rice, wiped his mouth and watched her panicked expression because of a fingerprint on her phone. In the end, he couldn't help but laugh.

He had also experienced this feeling of cherishing something new. He remembered that when he first got a cell phone in junior high school, he treasured it just like Xia Lian.

But once the novelty wears off, you'll realize that a phone is just something to use; you'll still use it, and there's no real benefit to cherishing it.

And saying that returns are not possible is a lie. Once she gets used to the phone, she should understand that there is a seven-day no-reason return policy... But then, hopefully she won't blame him for lying.

"You know how to use a mobile phone, right?" Wen Mo sat on the sofa and patted the seat next to him, gesturing for her to sit down.

Upon hearing this, Xia Lian pondered for a moment and gently shook her head.

"I have no idea……"

Sitting down next to Wenmo, she looked at her phone and drifted into a brief recollection, "I used my mom's phone occasionally before..."

Kids these days mature quite early; most have their own cell phones by elementary school. It's quite rare to see someone like Xia Lian who didn't get her first cell phone until high school.

"It's okay, we'll learn slowly," Wen Mo said with a gentle smile.

First, they turned on the phone. After the boot animation ended, a clean, native desktop appeared before them.

He often uses this brand of phone because it performs really well, but he bought the latest version for Xia Lian.

Mobile phones are quite easy to learn, and operating a smartphone is incredibly simple. You only need to know how to tap the screen, and most apps are very simple and convenient.

Wenmo took her phone and opened the app store in front of her. "This is the system's built-in app store. If you want to download any app—what we commonly call software—just download it from here."

As he spoke, he moved his finger and searched for several essential apps, demonstrating how to download them before letting Xia Lian try them out.

Xia Lian is very smart, and downloading the app is indeed easy; it only takes one click, and the rest of the system will install it automatically for you.

"Let's register a WeChat account first. This is a must. That way, you can chat with your friends and make payments directly."

As he spoke, he handed the phone directly to Xia Lian, letting her use it.

Xia Lian stared blankly at the screen for a while, looking a little nervous. However, when her finger touched the screen, she immediately relaxed and followed the text prompts to register for WeChat.

Seeing her hard work, Wen Mo nodded with satisfaction. Sure enough, you only need to touch a phone a couple of times to learn how to use it. She's really smart.

About five minutes later, with Wenmo's step-by-step guidance, a newly registered WeChat account appeared on the phone.

"It seems... it's okay now...?"

"Wow! That's great!" Wenmo chuckled and ruffled her hair.

d(^^*)

Newly registered WeChat accounts all have a system name and system avatar, and the homepage is blank.

"Change the name," Wen Mo reminded him.

As for my profile picture, I'm not in a hurry to change it; there aren't any good pictures on my new phone.

Xia Lian responded and obediently fiddled with her WeChat name. After a few seconds, she clicked confirm, "All done..."

"Let me see."

My gaze shifted to the screen, and the white background with black text no longer displayed the system name, but simply two large characters:

Xia Lian

"Idiot, don't use your real name." He tapped Xia Lian on the head and couldn't help but laugh.

I'm using my real name to access the internet.

"Oh..." Xia Lian lowered her head. Although she didn't understand why she couldn't use her real name, she knew that listening to Wen Mo was the right thing to do.

Wenmo crossed his legs and watched her operate the device with his right hand supporting his chin.

It's not that you can't use your real name, but it's mostly middle-aged business men who use their real names as their WeChat names.

Young people always need something new.

Xia Lian's new online name is very simple, consisting of only one character—heart. Wen Mo didn't ask why she chose this name; as long as she felt it was usable, that was fine with her.

"From now on, you can chat with your friends on WeChat. No matter how far apart you are, you can talk to each other. Isn't that convenient?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Lian glanced at her friend list.

“But there are no friends in there…” She lowered her eyes in disappointment, staring blankly at the empty list for a while.

"You have to add them as friends yourself; they can't just appear out of thin air."

Wen Mo explained, both amused and exasperated.

"Add me as a friend?"

Xia Lian spoke woodenly, seemingly not quite understanding.

Seeing this, Wen Mo also took out his phone and showed his friend list, even though he didn't have many friends.

"Look, you have to add these friends yourself. Just click the plus sign in the upper right corner of the main interface, and you'll see an 'Add Friend' function," he explained patiently.

Xia Lian looked at the friend-adding function she had just learned, raised her eyes and stared intently at Wen Mo for a long while.

Seemingly feeling a little uneasy under her gaze, Wen Mo took a step back. Just as he was about to speak, the girl in front of him obediently handed him her phone.

"Want to add Wen Mo as a friend..." Xia Lian's tone was weak.

"It's no big deal, sure."

Wenmo took her phone and showed her his business card with a QR code.

Her hand trembled slightly as she aimed the camera on the back of the device at Wenmer's screen.

Scan the QR code.

Not long after, an image of a baby wire appeared in his friends list.

Is this person Wen Mo?

"Yes, that wire baby is me."

He clicked on Xia Lian's profile picture and sent her a "hello" emoji.

Seeing the new emojis in the chat box, Xia Lian didn't react much. She just gently stroked Wen Mo's profile picture with a satisfied expression.

"Is adding someone as a friend that exciting?" Wen Mo rested his chin on his hand, watching her reaction with great interest.

Hearing this, Xia Lian nodded.

"Because the first time was with Wenmo."

"ah?"
