Siheyuan: If I marry Qin Huairu, I will become stronger by showing off.

February 1, 1976.

Kowloon Internet Information Highway officially opened to traffic!

On this day, Times Technology's Hongmeng 2.0 system was officially released!

In the Hongmeng 2.0 system, many new functions and designs have been added, such as "Transmission" that can conduct real-time online communication, "e-browser" that can open web pages to browse news, visit forums, and surf the Internet, "Mailbox" that can send and receive emails, and so on.

On this day, Times Communication's "Transsion", "e-browser", "Mail", "Times Net" and other products were officially launched!

It is worth mentioning that,

Wu Youde has now sorted out the business of the two companies, Times Technology and Times Communications. Times Technology will focus on the high-tech field in the future, researching and inventing products that can improve the quality of human life and change human lifestyles.

For example: computers, processors, graphics cards, LCD screens, mobile phones, etc., and product categories will continue to expand in the future.

Times Communications focuses on the Internet field.

For example, online instant messaging, information transmission, image scanning, e-shopping, etc.

to be honest,

One of these two companies is Apple and the other is Tencent.

this day,

The vast majority of personal computer users in Kowloon have used the Internet and experienced the convenience it brings.

The young man, Xiao Li, was born in a wealthy family and had a strong curiosity about new things. When he heard the news, he couldn't wait to ask his family to buy him an expensive Pangu computer.

That day, Xiao Li sat in his room with a nervous and excited mood, and gently pressed the start button of the computer.

The moment the screen lit up, he seemed to have opened up a whole new world. He quickly found the "Transmission" icon and clicked it to open it, but he saw a blank friend list, which made him a little overwhelmed.

"This...what should I do?" Xiao Li said to himself, with obvious nervousness in his voice.

His eyes were fixed on the screen, and his fingers were trembling as he gently slid the mouse, trying to find some clues. After a while, he finally found a guide button, and he clicked it hastily as if he had found a life-saving straw.

The guide page explains in detail how to give yourself a screen name.

Xiao Li fell into deep thought. He wanted a name that could reflect his personality and be poetic. After some consideration, he decided to call himself "Star Chaser".

This name represents his vision and pursuit for the future, just like the stars in the night sky, which are small but emit a unique light.

With an online name, Xiao Li seemed to have gained a little more confidence.

He began to follow the instructions and tried to search for other people and add them as friends. He carefully entered some keywords in the search box, and many unfamiliar names immediately appeared on the screen.

His heart beat faster involuntarily as he looked at the names nervously, not knowing which one to choose.

'Are these all people???'

'Wow! It's amazing! ! '

Xiao Li's heart was filled with emotion, and finally, his eyes stopped on an online name called "Smiling Elf".

The name gave him a feeling of warmth and hope. He hesitated for a moment, then mustered up the courage to click the Add Friend button.

After sending the friend request, Xiao Li sat nervously in the chair, staring at the screen without blinking, waiting for the other party's response, his heart pounding.

At the same time, in another corner of the city, Xiaolin, who also lives in a privileged family, also turned on Transsion.

Xiaolin is a lively, cheerful and energetic girl. She gave herself the online name "Smiling Elf" in the hope of bringing happiness and warmth to those around her.

When the "Voice Transmission" was turned on, a series of "dong dong" sounds came from the speakers, like someone knocking on the door.

She saw a small head portrait in the lower right corner that kept jumping and flashing. When she clicked it, it turned out to be a friend request...

[Hello, Star Chaser requests to add you as a friend. ]

When she saw this online name, her heart was moved. Xiaolin thought this name was very poetic and meaningful, so she agreed to the friend request without hesitation.

……

As time passed, Xiao Li became more and more nervous.

He began to doubt whether his choice was correct. Would the other party accept his application? Various speculations and worries kept emerging in his mind. He clenched his hands tightly, and his palms were slightly sweaty.

On the other side, Xiaolin was equally nervous.

She looked at the prompt "Added friend successfully" on the screen, feeling both excited and nervous.

She was also thinking about how to greet this strange "star chaser". Her heartbeat was also getting faster and faster, as if it was about to jump out of her chest.

……

dong dong——

A message popped up on the computer, indicating that 'Smile Elf' had been successfully added as a friend.

"yeah!!"

Xiao Li excitedly pumped his fists and shouted, his face flushed, he was extremely happy.

But looking at the empty chat box, he hesitated again...

What to say?

What should I say?

He instantly became distressed again, grabbing his hair and thinking for a long time...

Finally, he mustered up his courage and slowly typed out the first sentence: "Hello... Hello! Nice to meet you."

The words seemed a little halting, but full of sincerity. His fingers lingered on the keyboard for a moment before he pressed the send button.

When Xiaolin saw these words, the tension in her heart eased a little.

She replied, "Hello! Nice to meet you too." Her fingers were shaking a little, and she typed much slower than usual.

When Xiao Li saw Xiaolin's reply, he felt happy, but he was still very nervous and didn't know what to say.

He thought for a while, then asked, "Why are you called the Smiling Angel?"

As soon as he said this, he felt that he had asked a stupid question.

Xiaolin was slightly stunned, then replied: "Hehe, it's just a random name. My name is Smiling Elf, not Smiling Angel." There was a hint of shyness in her tone.

Xiao Li's face turned red, he smiled awkwardly, and then replied: "Sorry, I was too nervous. Your name is very nice and energetic."

Xiaolin was amused by Xiao Li's words.

She replied: "Your name is also very poetic, Star Chaser, it sounds very dreamy."

Their conversation started out a little tense and halting, but as the communication deepened, they gradually relaxed.

Xiao Li found Xiao Lin to be a very cheerful and kind girl, and her words were always full of sunshine and warmth. Xiao Lin also felt that Xiao Li was a thoughtful and ambitious young man, and she admired his dreams and persistence.

"Why are you called Star Chaser?" Xiaolin asked curiously again.

Xiao Li thought for a moment, then replied seriously: "Because I think the stars represent hope and dreams. I hope I can be like the stars and keep moving forward on the road of pursuing my dreams."

Xiaolin was deeply moved by Xiao Li's answer. "What a meaningful name! My name is Smiling Elf because I hope to bring happiness and warmth to the people around me."

"So what is your dream?" Xiao Li asked.

Xiaolin thought for a moment and replied, "My dream is to become a painter and use my brush to depict the beauty of this world."

"Wow, that's amazing! I believe you can realize your dream." Xiao Li encouraged.

They talked about more and more topics, from dreams to hobbies, from favorite books to movies and music. They found that they had a lot in common, they all liked reading novels, they all loved music, and they all had high expectations for the future.

"I recently read a great novel called Harry Potter. The plot is so exciting." Xiao Li said excitedly.

"Really? I've always wanted to read this novel! Can you tell me the story?" Xiaolin asked expectantly.

Xiao Li began to talk about the plot of the novel, and Xiao Lin listened with great interest. They seemed to forget the passage of time and immersed in this wonderful world of communication.

As the conversation deepened, their nervousness gradually disappeared, replaced by a kind of obsession and devotion. They began to look forward to each other's messages, and every time they heard the notification tone of "Transmission", a burst of joy would surge in their hearts.

"What kind of music do you like to listen to?" Xiaolin asked.

"I like many types of music, but recently I particularly like a song called "Descendants of the Dragon," Xiao Li replied.

"I've heard this song too. It's very nice! Its lyrics are very infectious," said Xiaolin.

They began to share their feelings about music and exchange their favorite singers and songs with each other. They found that music is not only a form of entertainment, but also a way to express and communicate emotions.

As the days passed, Xiao Li and Xiao Lin chatted more and more frequently, and their feelings grew stronger unknowingly.

They would send each other a greeting message every morning, and share their day's fun and moods at night. They seemed to have become an indispensable part of each other's lives.

A few months later,

Xiao Li finally plucked up the courage to suggest: "How about we meet? I really want to get to know you in real life."

Xiaolin was nervous and excited. She hesitated for a moment and then replied, "Okay, I want to meet you, too."

They began to discuss the place and time of meeting.

Finally, they decided to meet at a cafe on Queen's Road Central on a sunny day.

The day we met,

Xiao Li got up early and dressed carefully.

He was wearing a neat dark blue suit, a white shirt and a burgundy tie, looking particularly smart.

Her hair was neatly combed, revealing her full forehead, and her deep eyes were flashing with nervousness and expectation. Under her high nose bridge, her lips were slightly pursed, revealing a hint of uneasiness.

His heart was filled with tension and anticipation, and he kept imagining what Xiaolin looked like in real life. He arrived at the cafe in advance, found a seat by the window, looked at the door from time to time, and held a cup of coffee tightly in his hand, trying to relieve his nervousness.

My heart was beating so fast that it seemed like it was going to jump out of my chest.

After a while,

A girl in a dress with her hair gently tied up walked into the cafe.

The hem of her light blue dress fluttered gently with her steps, like a flower in a summer breeze.

Her skin was as white as snow, delicate and tender as a baby's. Her cheeks were slightly flushed, as lovely as a ripe apple. Her eyes were bright and clear, like two dazzling gems, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly, as if telling of her inner tension and expectation.

Her hair was black and shiny, and she gently pulled it up, revealing her slender neck, like an elegant swan. She had a bright smile on her face, but her eyes revealed a hint of nervousness and anticipation.

The girl looked around in the cafe, as if looking for someone...

Xiao Li also noticed the girl, and an inexplicable feeling surged in his heart.

He felt that this girl was most likely Xiaolin, but he was not sure. He looked at the girl nervously, his heart full of doubts and expectations.

The girl's eyes swept over Xiao Li, but did not stop. She continued to search in the cafe, with a hint of anxiety on her face.

Xiao Li hesitated for a moment, then mustered up the courage to stand up. He looked at the girl nervously and said in a trembling voice, "Hello, are you waiting for someone?"

The girl heard Xiao Li's voice and turned to look at him. Her eyes were full of surprise and confusion, as if she was thinking about something.

Xiao Li became even more nervous when he saw the girl's reaction.

He quickly said, "I'm waiting for someone too. My online name is Star Chaser."

The girl's eyes suddenly lit up, and a pleasant smile appeared on her face. She said, "Hello, I am the Smiling Fairy. Nice to meet you."

Xiao Li's heart was filled with joy and excitement.

He didn't expect that he had guessed correctly that the girl was Xiaolin. He rubbed his hands nervously and said, "I never thought that we would actually meet. When we chatted online, I had been looking forward to this day."

Xiaolin bit her lip lightly and said, "Me too. I was a little worried at first. I was afraid it would be awkward when we met."

Xiao Li quickly said, "No, I think we will have a great chat. You are more beautiful than I thought. Your eyes are as bright as stars, and I can't help but look at them a few more times."

Xiaolin lowered her head and said a little embarrassedly: "Actually, I'm quite nervous and don't know what to say."

Xiao Li looked at Xiao Lin tenderly and said, "It's okay, we can just chat casually like we chat online. Have you been painting recently?"

Xiaolin raised her head and said, "Yes, I'm currently painting a landscape, but it's not finished yet."

Xiao Li asked curiously: "What kind of landscape painting is it? Can you tell me about it?"

Xiaolin began to describe her painting, her eyes sparkling. "It was a beautiful forest, with sunlight shining through the gaps in the leaves, forming golden beams. The stream was gurgling, clear to the bottom, and flowers of various colors were blooming by the stream. The mountains in the distance were rolling and shrouded in clouds and mist, looming."

Xiao Li listened carefully and asked some questions from time to time. Their conversation gradually became relaxed and happy, as if they had forgotten everything around them.

Xiao Li also shared an interesting book he had read recently. His words were vivid and infectious, and Xiaolin listened with great interest.

They talked about the plot and characters in the book, and shared their own feelings and thoughts. As the topic went deeper, they found that they had more common interests and values.

Xiaolin smiled and said, "I didn't expect that we got along so well. It feels like we are friends who have known each other for a long time."

Xiao Li nodded, his eyes full of joy: "Yes, I feel the same way. I'm really lucky to meet you online."

Xiaolin had a gentle smile on her face. She gently stirred the coffee in front of her and said slowly, "From the initial nervous trial on 'Voice Transmission' to the face-to-face conversation now, it all seems like a wonderful dream."

Xiao Li leaned forward slightly and looked at Xiaolin intently: "This dream is so beautiful, I really hope I will never wake up. Do you know? Every time I chat with you, I can feel a special warmth, which is an indescribable sense of security."

Xiaolin lowered her head and smiled~

Before they knew it, the afterglow of the setting sun shone through the window onto them, covering them with a layer of golden light.

Xiao Li said softly: "Time flies so fast. It's really wonderful to be with you today."

Xiaolin smiled and nodded: "Yeah, I think so too."

Xiao Li was a little reluctant and asked tentatively: "Then... goodbye?"

"Okay~"

Xiaolin smiled and nodded, blinking, "Goodbye!"

The two smiled at each other, feeling happy.

Xiao Li stood up and looked at Xiaolin tenderly. "Then next time we meet, I hope to hear you share your paintings again."

Xiaolin blushed slightly, "Sure."

They walked out of the cafe slowly, waved goodbye again at the door, and with this beautiful expectation, each stepped into a new life, waiting for the next meeting.
