Chapter 4 The world is cold, but some people are warm.



【Heading North: What a coincidence, I just woke up too.】

[Qingqian: Voice message)) 5s

Lu Yibei clicked on it.

A calm, almost indifferent voice came out.

"I forgot to turn off the alarm, and now I have a bit of a headache."

"Who would set their alarm for noon?" Lu Yibei thought to himself, but considering Qingqian's irregular sleep schedule lately... well, it's normal.

[Heading North: I woke up naturally. Can you even manage that? Sleeping so long and still getting a headache, don't get sick.]

[Qingqian: Voice message))3s

"I only slept for four hours."

[All the Way North: I logged off a little before 3 PM, how come you played alone for so long afterwards?]

Qingqian: "I didn't play."

Qingqian: "I just can't sleep."

[Heading North: Why are you having insomnia? I'm heartbroken, not you.]

Qingqian: "Just because you're heartbroken doesn't mean I can't sleep?"

[Heading North: Why can't you sleep when I'm heartbroken?]

Qingqian: "I'm happy."

Lu Yibei: "..."

Her voice was gentle and clear, and there was a hint of sweetness in it.

[Heading North: You're really something, building your happiness on the suffering of others.]

Qingqian: "You're still suffering? You're even worse off."

Sensing a hint of concern, Lu Yibei smiled and typed:

"If it were painful, I wouldn't have slept through the night."

Qingqian: "That's good."

Qingqian: "If you still can't let go of me, you'll laugh at me for the rest of your life."

[Heading North: Have some kind of seal been broken for you? Are you planning to say everything you haven't said in the past few years all at once today?]

Qingqian used to rarely send emojis, let alone use voice messages or even type.

Today, it's all voice messages.

Qingqian: "What? Don't you want to hear it?"

[All the Way North: That's impossible. Who wouldn't want to hear such a beautiful voice?]

[Qingqian: Voice message)) 39s

"I'm happy to, it's none of your business. People change all the time. I only talk to you when I'm in a good mood; once I lose interest, I'll see if I even talk to you anymore. What are you planning to do today? I have a headache; I might not be able to go to the bathroom until the afternoon. Have you had lunch?"

[All the way north: Is this a compliment to your beautiful voice, so they're saying a few extra words?]

【Qingqian: /smile】

[Qingqian: claws.]

[All the Way North: Hahahaha, haven't eaten yet, but you still have a lot of KFC left from yesterday, you won't starve. Remember to eat.]

Qingqian: "Hmm, I'd like to have something light. I'm thinking of ordering a milk tea."

[Heading North: I need to finish some work first. I still need to get the full attendance bonus at the end of the month. If you want to log in, I can QQ you.]

Qingqian: "Mmm~ Okay~"

Lu Yibei replayed the last sentence three times, his indifferent style tinged with a hint of languid tenderness.

Most importantly, it is definitely a girl's voice.

It's quite amazing.

Lu Yibei sat in a wheeled computer chair and slid to the desk.

Open the webpage and start searching rapidly.

My online best friend of several years suddenly confessed to me that she's his sister. What should I do?

Someone on a certain forum was asking the same question.

Lu Yibei clicked on it.

[2nd Floor: OP, did that good friend of yours confess to you when you were feeling particularly down?]

[OP's reply to post #2: Yeah, yeah]

Lu Yibei thought about it and realized that the granularity matched up perfectly. Heartbreak is also a part of disappointment.

[2nd Floor: Is your good bro still incredibly nice to you, and also very handsome?]

[OP's reply to post #2: Yeah, yeah]

Although I don't know what Qingqian looks like, her voice is quite goddess-like.

Lu Yibei slapped his thigh. The poster was indeed his half-brother, having experienced the exact same thing.

[2nd Floor: This is clearly due to reading too many novels and watching too many anime. I suggest you find a blockbuster to watch instead.]

[OP's reply to post #2: How dare you slander someone's innocence out of thin air!]

[OP's reply to post #2: Then why the hell don't you give me a website?!]

[OP replied to post #2: Huh? Why aren't you replying to me anymore!]

Lu Yibei: ...

Who the hell is this poster? I don't know them at all.

He looked down.

[3rd Floor: Next, I should tell you the truth: she has an alcoholic father, a seriously ill mother, a younger brother in school, and her grandfather's tea. Help her out, cheer her on, and buy a few more pounds of tea from her!]

[4th Floor: Damn, are people just posting web novel outlines on Tieba now? I'll just copy them.]

I searched through several websites.

The answers obtained were all very similar.

It's either a dream or a scam.

Lu Yibei was somewhat dazed by what he saw.

He even began to doubt whether Qingqian was a product of his imagination.

Reopen your phone, open your chat history with Qingqian, and click on the last voice message again.

"Okay~"

A lazy, soft female voice drifted into Lu Yibei's ears.

He thoroughly enjoyed listening to it.

"It's not a dream."

Lu Yibei said, "Could it be a scam?"

Impossible. He and Qingqian have shared life-and-death experiences for several years.

You don't raise fish like that.

Besides, it's a person ordering a family bucket meal for themselves, not for others. How can it be considered a scam?

Just then, my phone rang.

An unfamiliar number.

"Hello?"

Lu Yibei answered: "...Oh, takeout...Huh? Which one? Milk tea? Oh, just leave it at the door, I'll pick it up myself later."

After hanging up, he tapped the phone screen repeatedly.

[Heading North: Did you order the milk tea too?]
