Chapter 400 Chatting Online

Yunya's anticipation of seeing him immediately turned into disappointment. All she wanted now was for him to leave quickly and not come looking for her.

Lin Zeyu was completely unaware of Yun Ya's change and continued to talk to her with a smile.

Yun Ya urged him to hurry back to school, otherwise he would be late for class at noon. Lin Zeyu glanced at the clock on the wall; time was indeed tight, and there wasn't enough time to get there after lunch.

He confirmed his weekend online appointment with Yunya before hurriedly returning to school.

Watching him walk away, Yunya secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Zhang Meiyi asked Yunya, "Who is he? Is he your relative?"

Yunya shook her head. "No, he's a student at a top high school. He bought books from our store. I met him on the bus during the May Day holiday when I went to my grandma's house, and we only exchanged a few words."

Zhang Yimei nodded. "Oh! I see!"

Yun Ya: "Yeah, that's right. We're not very familiar with each other; we're just friends."

Zhang Yimei shrugged and didn't say anything more. The two went about their own business.

Yun Ya was tidying up the books, her mind preoccupied with her thoughts. Zhang Yimei, on the other hand, continued calculating the accounts from the first three months; she refused to believe that her business was getting worse month by month.

When the weekend came, Yunya kept her word and went to the internet cafe to add Lin Zeyu's QQ number.

As soon as Yunya went online, netizens started sending her messages. After greeting them, Yunya started adding Lin Zeyu as a friend.

As soon as the friend request was sent, Lin Zeyu immediately replied with a message.

【Rain Flower Stone】"Hello, you've arrived!"

[Blue Enchantress] "Hmm, is that Lin Zeyu?"

[Rain Flower Stone] "It's me. I don't even know your name yet."

【Blue Enchantress】"You can just call me Yunya, that's my childhood name."

【Rain Flower Stone】"Okay, Yunya."

【Blue Enchantress】"Is your home also in Kongjia Village? How did I run into you when I went to my grandmother's house?"

[Rain Flower Stone] "My home is in a village near Kongjia Village, so I also took that bus to the city."

【Blue Enchantress】"Oh! No wonder I ran into you. So, doesn't your family see you off at the intersection to wait for the bus?"

[Rain Flower Stone] "My family wasn't very well-off. My mother and father died in an accident, leaving only my grandmother and me to depend on each other..."

Listening to Lin Zeyu recount his background, Yunya felt sorry for him. Losing his parents must be even harder to accept than the favoritism and bias of his parents!

Thinking this, Yunya comforted her, "You must be strong. You still have your grandma. I think your grandma must love you very much."

[Rain Flower Stone] "Yes! Grandma loves me very much. I will definitely study hard, get into a good university, find a good job, and take good care of her in the future."

【Blue Rose】"I believe you can do it. I also wish you all the best in achieving your dreams."

【Rain Flower Stone】"Thank you for your blessing. I think we can become very good friends."

[Blue Enchantress] "Yes, we're good friends now!"

【Rain Flower Stone】"Yes, I'm very happy to have met you."

Yunya was still replying to his messages when another netizen sent her several messages, with the message notification sound "ding ding ding ding~" ringing incessantly.

It turns out that [Love Song 1990] has been released.

He had just logged on when he saw Yunya online, and then he sent her several messages, all of them greeting her.

【Love 1990】"Long time no see. Why haven't you been online lately? Did something happen? If you need help, let me know and I'll definitely help you."

【Blue Enchantress】"Nothing much, I just have to work every day and don't have time to go online. It's Sunday today, so I had some free time to come online for a while."

[Love 1990] "Oh, I see! What do you do for a living? Is it tiring?"

【Blue Enchantress】"Not tired, I sell books in a bookstore."

【Love 1990】"Selling books, this job is pretty good, clean, leisurely and elegant."

[Blue Rose] "It's alright! There aren't many good jobs in our City of Yi. By the way, where do you work?"

[Love in 1990] "I work at an aluminum electrolysis plant."

[Blue Enchantress] "Never heard of this, what kind of work is this?"

[Love 1990] "It's about extracting metallic aluminum from a raw material called alumina through electrolysis..."

[Blue Enchantress] "I don't understand. Do you also do this job in the factory?"

【Love 1990】"No, I work in the security department."

[Blue Enchantress] "Oh, you're the gatekeeper?"

【Love in 1990】"..."I was speechless.

[Rain Flower Stone] "Yun Ya, what are you doing? Are you still there? Why are you ignoring me?"

【Blue Rose】"Yes, I didn't see you speak just now, so I replied to a few messages from netizens."

[Rain Flower Stone] "Oh, you have many online friends? Are they all male?"

【Blue Enchantress】"There weren't many people, but there were quite a few girls."

【Rain Flower Stone】"Oh, could you talk to me a little longer? I have to go back to my dorm soon."

【Blue Enchantress】"Oh! When are you going back to the dorm? Let me know when you leave."

[Rain Flower Stone] "It'll be about fifteen minutes. I'll be going back soon. When are you going home? Don't stay out too late."

【Blue Rose】"Don't worry, I only stayed online for an hour, about the same time as you. I should log off when you leave."

【Rain Flower Stone】"Hmm, I feel much more at ease now."

【Blue Enchantress】"What's there to worry about? The internet cafe is very close to my home. I can get home in less than 5 minutes."

[Rain Flower Stone] "That's good!"

In the short time it took Yunya and Lin Zeyu to exchange a few words, ten messages had already been sent from 【Love1990】.

Yunya quickly opened the messages and saw that they were all asking why she wasn't saying anything.

Yunya quickly replied, "Busy."

Several more messages came in quick succession, asking what she was busy with and whether she was chatting with other men.

Yun Ya was speechless. Were all these people so smart? They could guess everything.

There was nothing else Yunya could do but text and chat with both of them at the same time.

Yun Ya was racking her brains about how to reply to 【Love Song 1990】 when Lin Zeyu sent her another message urging her to chat.

Yun Ya felt like her head was about to explode; she could only frantically try to reply to the two of them.

Just then, [Love Song 1990] suddenly sent a message saying, "Yun Ya, do you have someone you like?"

Yun Ya was taken aback, unsure how to respond. Meanwhile, Lin Zeyu sent another concerned message: "Yun Ya, don't overwork yourself, take care of yourself and get some rest."

Yun Ya looked at the two messages, feeling a little confused. She replied to 【Love Song 1990】: "No, it's just a chat between friends." She quickly told Lin Zeyu that she would be careful.

But no sooner had she replied than messages from the two of them started pouring in. Yun Ya looked at the constantly flashing chat boxes on the screen and sighed helplessly.

Time flies. Lin Zeyu sent a message saying he was going back to his dorm and told Yunya to go home early too.

After replying to him, Yun Ya checked [Love Song 1990] again; the other person was still asking questions. Yun Ya said a few simple words, and then it was time to log off. She hurriedly logged off, left the internet cafe, and was still thinking about this complicated online exchange.
