Don't feel embarrassed. Actually... I am an orphan. I am working hard in a big city by myself and I don't have many friends. I have no one to share the ups and downs of life with. I guess you are alone too. I know it is very uncomfortable to have something on your mind but nowhere to vent it. Why don't we add each other on WeChat? You can share anything with me. If you don't mind, I will share with you too!
——From 1702 Your Gentle and Handsome Neighbor]
On the back of the card was a phone number with a note: [This is both your phone number and WeChat ID! Waiting for your friend request!]
She had met this neighbor twice, and they were just nodding acquaintances. He looked gentle and honest. Although the words on the card were heartwarming, she still felt that there was a hint of narcissism, especially the way he addressed herself. Why did he sound so much like that guy?
However, she still took out her phone and added it.
It passed very quickly.
She opened his profile, the avatar was blank, and his online name was just a simple "Ning".
Ning? What a coincidence?
After adding her as a friend, she first sent a message: [Thank you, my warm and handsome neighbor.]
The other party immediately replied with an emoticon of a blushing face, scratching the head and saying you're welcome.
[Hello, nice to meet you. My name is Wang Ning.] followed by a handshake emoji.
There was no response from the other end. Two minutes later, I received the following message: [Hello, my name is Ai Ning, nice to meet you!]
Shen Yueyan bit her finger and thought, his name is Ai Ning? Is that why his online name is Ning?
Followed by a line: [Don't get me wrong, it's just a coincidence, I've always been called this name.]
[Understood, just a name.]
The other party thought for a long time, then tremblingly said: [What happened to you? Why did you take sleeping pills?]
Shen Yueyan frowned, her eyes shifting to the medicine bottle on the coffee table. She thought of the card again and pondered for a long time before replying: [Well, some bad things happened before.]
[What's going on? Can you tell me?]
Shen Yueyan paused. Could she tell him? Could she trust him? This Ai Ning, like her, was an orphan, all alone in Cloud City. Perhaps two orphaned children, in this cold city, could offer each other some warmth, even serve as a kind of shelter for one another.
So, she typed: [Actually, I am an orphan just like you.]
[…Sorry for bringing up unhappy memories for you.]
[Why do you say that? Aren’t you an orphan too?]
[I...I'm used to it.]
[I will get used to it, sooner or later.]
…
Thank you for trusting me and being willing to confide in me. I hope you'll be like today in the future. Tell me when you're unhappy, call me when you want to vent, and I'll just listen to you without saying anything.
[By the way, if you miss your family, just look up at the stars. The brightest one will definitely be them.]
