"Oh?"
Qin Xue, who had returned to the bedroom first, leaned against the headboard playing with her phone.
She used the information she had obtained earlier to join a group—the Snow White Support Club.
She hadn't realized before, but looking now, the group already had over a thousand people.
This was almost catching up to the number of people in two academic departments.
Was Little Sister Yun's popularity really this high?
(What was the princess wearing that day?)
This was the verification question for joining the group.
(White stockings, white dress)
Qin Xue answered concisely and clicked apply.
This was also Little Sister Yun's current outfit.
Thinking about this, Qin Xue felt secretly delighted.
Because the princess in these boys' eyes had just been 'eaten' by her.
(You have joined 'Snow White Support Club')
Soon, Qin Xue's QQ received a message.
(Welcome newcomer, if possible, could you say which department you're from? Let's all make friends)
(I'm from 22 Internet of Things Engineering)
The people in the group were very active, all chatting enthusiastically. Since they were all students from the same school, they could get to know each other.
Qin Xue actually posted to social media too, but on WeChat, posting photos with her sisters, and only visible to friends.
For QQ, she used it to join class groups and handle school-related matters.
Qin Xue's QQ avatar was just a white flower—you couldn't tell if it was male or female, and her timeline was empty.
(Bro, why aren't you talking @...)
Someone in the group mentioned Qin Xue.
She sat and thought for a while.
(I'm also from 22 Internet of Things Engineering. It's so late, time to sleep, not chatting anymore)
Qin Xue sent out Su Yun's department information, then began lurking.
She didn't want to chat with boys or see those fantasizing comments about Su Yun in the group.
So what was her purpose for joining?
To find Su Yun and start a chat.
Su Yun could usually contact fans, so she must rely on this group.
So responsible to fans, mm-hmm.
Then could she be responsible to her as a fan too?
Qin Xue wanted to test whether the other liked girls.
But after a while, looking at the group admins and group leader, she didn't see a single female.
"Oh right, fans call her Brother Yun? Does that mean Little Sister Yun is as handsome as me?"
Qin Xue suddenly thought of this point and felt somewhat disappointed.
If she was hiding her identity, she wouldn't be able to find her.
Wait! There was still a way.
(Brothers, do you know someone called 'Brothet Yun’ in the group? I need to find him for something)
Qin Xue almost typed 'her' but reacted quickly.
(Bro, didn't you say you were going to sleep? You've been fooling us all along)
(I'm called Zhang Yun, people also call me Brother Yun, you're looking for me?)
People in the group continued chatting among themselves, and many replied to Qin Xue.
She received several private message notifications, and Qin Xue obviously felt those weren't who she was looking for.
But then she discovered that someone related to "Brother Yun" had spoken up.
(What do you want with Brother Yun? Do you know him?)
Seeing this, Qin Xue also noticed this person's group leader status.
Looking carefully, she quickly found the other's QQ somewhat familiar.
It seemed like this person was among the fans Su Yun had helped?
Then Qin Xue started private chatting with that group leader, talking for quite a while before successfully getting that Brother Yun's QQ number.
(I heard he's on vacation with his girlfriend recently, probably better not to disturb him)
"..."
Seeing the last message the other sent, Qin Xue quickly laughed.
Su Yun really did have girlfriend, and she was that girlfriend.
Now Qin Xue was almost certain that the QQ number belonged to Su Yun.
Soon, she applied to add that QQ number as a friend.
"Oh..." At this time the door opened, and Su Yun walked in wearing white silk stockings, her small feet stepped on the cold floor.
After closing the door again, Su Yun sat on the bedside, seeming to be thinking about something.
"Sister Xue, there aren't many rooms. You'll have to sleep with me tonight."
"Great." Qin Xue's voice sounded very pleased.
The two looked at each other for a moment, and Su Yun was the first to look away.
"Little Sister Yun, quickly get in bed. It's cold outside the blanket."
Qin Xue leaned against the headboard, her lower body already covered with the blanket.
"Mm." Su Yun hesitated, then also crawled into the covers, but kept far away from Qin Xue.
Seeing this scene, Qin Xue felt somewhat unhappy.
She gently lifted a corner of the blanket, then reached forward and grabbed Su Yun's leg.
"Hey..." Having her leg grabbed, Su Yun's body struggled a bit.
It seemed the evening's events had left her with psychological trauma.
"Sister Xue, I'll come over myself, don't grab me..."
"Mm-hmm~"
Qin Xue let go, and soon they were pressed together.
Even though the distance was so close, she couldn't ask the question she really wanted to know.
Just from her earlier approach, Su Yun had such a big reaction, proving she absolutely suspect Qin Xue had ulterior motives.
"Little Sister Yun, where is your phone?" Qin Xue probed.
"I forgot my phone in the main hall, let me go get it."
The person in the covers left, but quickly ran back.
(You are now friends)
When Su Yun picked up her phone, Qin Xue also quickly received a notification.
As expected.
(Brother Yun, good evening, I'm from Class 1, Liu Fei's friend. Are you free now? I want to ask about something)
(PS: Qin Xue had seen the name during today's chat with Su Yun)
After sending the message, Qin Xue began paying attention to Su Yun.
The other started typing.
(Mm, what's the matter?)
"Oh." Seeing this, Qin Xue couldn't help but laugh.
"?" Su Yun heard the sound and was somewhat puzzled, but didn't think much of it.
(Brother Yun, don't you have a girlfriend? Liu Fei said he only succeeded because of you)
And just like that, the two of them began chatting.
Clearly, they were sitting right next to each other, yet they were chatting through their phones.
Of course, Su Yun was the one being forced into this situation by the circumstances.
(“So, Brother Yun, do you have someone you like right now?”)
Qin Xue brought up a new topic after chatting for a while.
(“Yes.”)
One word.
Su Yun hesitated for a while before finally sending that single word.
When Qin Xue saw this, she observed Su Yun with her peripheral vision.
In fans' eyes, Brother Yun had a girlfriend, so when answering fans, the response should logically be 'yes.'
So Qin Xue continued asking.
(Brother Yun, what are your thoughts on marriage? If it were you, would you be willing to marry the girl you like during university?)
After sending these two messages, Qin Xue's heart jumped to her throat.
If this were in real life, she definitely wouldn't dare say this to Su Yun.
But since this was online, there was a virtual barrier.
Qin Xue felt secretly delighted, thinking herself truly clever.
But at this moment, no reply came from the other side.
This made Qin Xue pay attention to Su Yun beside her.
Hm?
Why was Little Sister Yun frozen, like she was thinking about something, not moving?
Qin Xue felt somewhat anxious and poked the other's shoulder.
"Little Sister Yun, you're chatting with a fan, right? why aren't you replying?"
"Ah!" This poke directly startled Su Yun awake.
As a result—
She directly scared Su Yun off the bed.
Yes, scared off.
Su Yun literally sprang up like a cat, jumping two meters down from the bed.
Just like a startled kitten tangled in a blanket.
"I'm going to the bathroom."
"Ah."
Su Yun ran out.
Qin Xue knew the other went to reply to messages.
After quite a while, a message finally came back.
(“I’m also someone serious about relationships.”)
"!" Seeing this first message, Qin Xue was extremely delighted, so delighted she almost cried out.
Was Little Sister Yun hinting that she liked her?
(But university is still too early. I suggest waiting until after having a job and stable income before considering marriage)
But the second message that immediately followed made Qin Xue's delight dissipate.
She frantically typed, her fingers tapping the screen making sounds.
(Brother Yun, do you mean you don't plan to marry your current girlfriend?)
(Not sure, we'll see later. It's very late now, I'm a bit tired, going to sleep first, good night)
"Not sure..." Seeing this answer, Qin Xue felt somewhat disappointed. She put down her phone without even replying good night.
"Oh." Soon, Su Yun also returned from the "bathroom."
"Sister Xue, what's wrong? Are you in a bad mood?"
Su Yun, whose face was still somewhat flushed, lay on the bed. Seeing Qin Xue's poor expression, she asked with concern.
"Nothing, let's sleep, we'll talk later."
"Hm?" Su Yun was stunned, hearing this phrase and inexplicably feeling it was familiar.
Then they quickly turned off the lights.
It was already past one o'clock. Su Yun knew staying up late was bad for Qin Xue's health.
Marriage? Girls can't marry each other, right?
On the bed, Su Yun lay with her back to Qin Xue, feeling confused inside.
Now really sleeping with Qin Xue, she found herself quite well-behaved, without any improper thoughts she couldn't resist.
After all, she wasn't a pervert.
Marriage…
Caught in a tangle of thoughts,
Su Yun quickly drifted off to sleep.
......
......
Night passed, and Wednesday morning arrived as promised.
At this time, Su Yun lying on the big bed woke up startled from her dreams.
She had rarely dreamed at night, and it was actually 2 dreams connected together.
After waking from the dreams, Su Yun broke out in a cold sweat and cried a little.
The last time Su Yun had a dream like this was in the month when she failed her college entrance exams.
After that, it was like her soul was lost.
She stopped thinking about anything serious—she no longer cared about people or plans.
Her heart was filled only with games and amusement.
“Mm...”
Su Yun groaned softly as she turned over in her sleep, dazed and disoriented.
Because she felt a bit scared, she instinctively curled up, wrapping herself tightly in the quilt.
She tried to recall the content of the dream, but could only remember scattered fragments.
The first dream—
she was flying in the sky, a sea of fire spread before her eyes.
It felt like the end of the world had come, yet in that moment, she felt incredibly calm and peaceful inside.
It was a strange dream.
The second dream—
She dreamed Qin Xue was taken back home by her family, and they never saw each other again.
Su Yun actually woke up because of this second dream.
