Chapter 27.05 (2/2)
He looked at the friends’ column and see the only picture, it is still gray. He prepares to turn off the computer and was surprised to find the bottom right corner of the screen emerged a message box that prompts ‘cackled’ indicating a message. Zheng Xie move his mouse over to open it. There is only one mail that has a dynamic lighted candle on a birthday cake picture and the words: Happy Birthday!
Zheng Xie looked at it for a while. Turned off the page and turn off the program.
After a few seconds, he login again and point to open the dialogue page and write: “Why are you still up so late?”
One second, two seconds…. After a full ten seconds, finally the other side responded: “Who are you?”
Zheng Xie do not know how to answer.
Then, after a long time, He He send back a message: “Brother, is that really you?”
Zheng Xie felt that the situation is more awkward that facing each other in negotiations. He type a few words, delete, and then re-enter and then delete.
He is not used to this kind of communication. In his exchange with anyone including those in foreign country, there have always been two ways, telephone or text messages.
He thought for a long time and then finally repeated his first words: “It is late. Do not stay up too late at night.”
“How come you are also sleeping so late?” He He added on when he did not answer: “Thank you for sending me the gift. Then….. I have donated to sister-in-law. You would not mind, right?”
Zheng Xie found himself could not say anything. He kept quiet for a while before typing the word: “Do not mind.”
Thinking that it is missing something, added: “Thank you.”
He He sent an icon over but it only shows an X.
His started at the screen in silence for a while. And then finally say goodbye before turning off the computer. He went to the balcony for a smoke and after that, went to lie down next to Yang Wei Qi.
Yang Wei Qi rolled over drowsily and said: “Is it dawn yet?”
“No, it is only two o’clock. Did I wake you up?”
“You are still having a cold and yet still sleep so late at night?” She leaned against him and sniff his pajamas. “Coughing so badly, still smoke. Are you in a bad mood?”
“Nothing. You go to sleep.”
Zheng Xie listen to her breathing that has become mild and gentle. She had fallen back fast asleep. While he is still wide awake.
Usually after midnight, if he is still awake, he will have insomnia. So he always try to avoid staying up late.
Thinking after dawn, there are a lot of things to do, he gently got up and took two sleeping pills. He grudgingly fell asleep as the morning sun are coming up. When he woke up, he did not even know when Yang Wei Qi left.
Finally, you have to live your own life and I do not want to show the sadness in the heart, just like those wanting to escape but not daring to break the silence.
