She suppressed her inner joy, staring at the familiar profile picture, as she sat down on the edge of the bed and carefully opened the message. The content of the message was simple: It's going to get cold, remember to wear a coat. This seemingly simple reminder warmed her heart.
Holding her phone, Monica was incredibly excited. He was showing concern for her! She quickly replied with two characters: "Okay." After replying, she felt as if the conversation had died. Sure enough, he didn't reply again...
Staring at the phone screen, she eagerly awaited another notification, hoping for another message from Tristan. But one minute passed, then two, and still there was silence from his side. She must be the conversation killer. Did he not have any other thoughts about her? Was she overthinking it?
The girl pouted and thought to herself, he probably wouldn't reply again, would he? So she put down her phone, continued tidying up, and also tried to put her emotions back in order.
At that moment, Tristan had just returned home from Algerone Swain's place. He had barely unbuckled his seatbelt when he sent her that message amidst the cold night breeze. He had wanted to tell her that Algerone Swain was currently single. But after some thought, he decided it would be better to surprise her in person – he wanted to see her overjoyed reaction. This would be a happiness he could bring to her.
So, after Tristan got home, he sent her two characters: "Good night." Meaning he hoped she would rest early. Hearing her phone chime with a Facebook notification, Monica's heart warmed, hoping it was him but also fearing it wasn't. She stopped what she was doing, picked up her phone, and the joy she felt when she saw it was a message from him was indescribable.
