If You Dare To Marry Me, Then I Do Too - Chapter 2.

Password
****

My heart felt so much excitement while looking at this mouse. It can even be compared to winning 5 million.

My blood circulated faster, my heart beat accelerated, and my fingers trembled as I typed incoherent words several times on the keyboard until I finally sent a proper message.

“Mouse, do you know that I’ve waited for you for 38 minutes and 25 seconds? Uuuu, I can’t even use words to describe my misery!”

“Really? You’re not kidding me?” The dead mouse sent an emoji with the question.

“I am a handsome and unrestrained Yushu in the face of the wind[1], I am someone who can’t be attacked by mountains of daggers and seas of flames[2]. The heroine is me! A heroine never lies! You, my friend, have to learn to trust! Do you understand?” I rolled my eyes as I reprimanded.

“Fine, let’s say that what you said is true. But this young master used to be a suave Mumu[3] and suddenly saw a poor blind cat. On the spur of the moment, this young man turned into a dead mouse to offer thyself. In this world, it’s already hard to find a dedicated man like me.”

“Mumu? What a cute name. The person behind must be cuter, right? He he he. I like it. I love it.” I brazenly flirted.

I have become shameless and numb. What the heck, I’ve said my part, I’ll just let him vomit.

I wanted to survive this remaining long four hours, and I have pinned my trust on  this dead mouse named Mumu. It’s not my fault that I’ve become cheeky and flirty!

Anyway when it comes to the internet, no one knows who, so I’m not afraid to lose face!

”Hahaha, yes it is very cute but very pitiful and unloved!”  The dead mouse  sent an emoticon with bared teeth showing that he’s laughing.

I’ve been blessed to have met such a funny man. Now let me have some fun!

I usually chat in a relatively casual way. There isn’t much meaning to this anyway, just nonsense babble. I type fast and I often make witty remarks, amusing a lot of netizens.

However to my surprise, the dead mouse turned out to be more talkative than me. Even his typing speed didn’t seem to be below me.

This man can type fast, I’m impressed.

Ten fingers flicking, touching the keys that seemed more like flying. The blind cat and the dead mouse guarded their respective monitors and talked to each other happily.

After some random talks, I learned that the dead mouse named Mumu was an art teacher from a nearby university. He’s 28 years old, single and from Yingwanzhen.

We probably had the same major because we unexpectedly found a lot of common topics to talk about. What made me the most happy is that this dead mouse also likes Wuxia and fantasy novels.

So from the ‘Legend of Lu’ to ‘The Invincible from the East’, from the beauty of ‘A Chinese Ghost Story’ to the weirdness of ‘Timeslip’, our chat box was on fire! The conversation was full of enthusiasm and elation!

I laughed as if there was no one around as my ten fingers danced wildly. No netizen has ever talked to me like this before.

The boy next to me took a peek at me from time to time with an envious expression on his face.

I laughed happily, and time flew by quickly in this happy atmosphere. It felt as if only a few minutes had passed.

The dead mouse said that he needed to dismiss his class, so he had to go to the classroom and pretended to be reluctant to part with me.

I laughed out loud but became depressed soon after. I said that I wouldn’t know how to get through the remaining three hours. I had no one to chat with, and I didn’t know what to do.

I couldn’t stop sighing and pretended to be pathetic to him.

The dead mouse sent several schadenfreude emoticons. I cursed him for being worse than a dog and a pig[4] and for having no conscience.

The boy argued strongly, hollowed out his heart and lungs to show his innocence, and made a decision that took me by surprise.

“I’ll give you my password. Hehe, I have a lot of friends here who are very talkative. You can talk to them so you won’t feel bored.” Then he attached his password to the message.

At that moment, my heart was inexplicably moved by this dead mouse. We’ve only known each other for like an hour or so. His trust makes me want to cry.

I almost want to cry in his arms.

It’s no wonder that I’ve become this excited. I’ve been surfing the internet for years, but dead mouse was the first one to give me his password.

It would be strange not to get thrilled by that.

To me, sharing your password with other people is very hard. That would mean sharing your privacy at the same time.

After Mumu went offline, I hesitated for a moment before I used his password to log in.

Sure enough, there were many people in his account. A lot of them were online. I glanced at it and found that it was almost all men.

When a buddy named Xiao Long saw the account on line, he immediately sent a message asking, “Mumu, aren’t you in class? Why are you online again? Please look after my students. My girlfriend is forcing me to chat with her.”

“Hehe, I’m sorry. I’m not Mumu. He already left.”

I don’t have a habit of pretending to be someone I’m not to tease others so I answered frankly.

“You’re not Mumu? Then who are you?” Xiao Long seemed a little curious as he continued with another sentence.

“Mumu never gives his password to others casually. Are you his girlfriend? Haha, this boy is really disloyal. He finally found a girlfriend but didn’t tell us. I even treated him the other day.”

With that, he grinned.

“Girlfriend? Ha, how is that possible? I just met him an hour ago on the ***. What kind of girlfriend is that?” I grinned too.

“Really? I don’t believe you. We’ve been colleagues for several years. I’ve been in the same office with him, and I know him very well. He doesn’t even get in touch with girls easily, how could he just give his password to an outsider? Or did you steal his account? But that doesn’t make sense, I just saw him.”

Xiao Long was obviously suspicious.

“Well, I blacked out. I stole his account because I’m out of my mind. I do have a few accounts but there aren’t many people in it, so I don’t even bother using it. I’m just a netizen he met online. He was afraid that I would have no one to talk to so he kindly lent me his own. If you don’t believe me, you can ask him. You could go ahead and punish me if I’m lying.”

I quietly wiped a cold sweat. I didn’t know why I had to explain so much to a stranger.

“You’re not lying? Really?” Xiao Long sent a lot of questioning emoticons.

“Nonsense! How could a heroic woman who is as honest and upright as me lie to you? If you don’t believe it then you will be pulled down!”

My problem of self-aggrandizement has come out again.

Xiao Long believed my words for the time being but still regarded me as dead mouse’s lover. He introduced him to me in detail including his achievements in work and some embarrassing moments that made me laugh and cry.

“Boss, you can stop telling me these things now. I don’t care much about who he is anyway, we’re just online friends. We could just talk as much as we can but we probably wouldn’t talk about things that would get us blocked anytime! Don’t waste your time.”

I got afraid of the guy, so I raised my hand and surrendered.

“Hey, I’ll tell you this. I have a feeling that even though you guys are just online friends now, it will eventually turn into that kind of relationship. So I’m acting as a wingman for free. Since you know more about him now, don’t forget to invite me for a drink to thank me by then!”

Xiao Long sent a row of smiling emoticons.

“Then how do I know if you’re telling the truth or not? You’re his good friend, of course you would say nice things about him! I’m no fool so I won’t believe you!”

I decided to play along with him.

Xiao Long became anxious and replied that he swears to the heavens and the earth that what he said was true. If he ever told a lie, he would choke to death on water, choke to death in his sleep and fall off his bed to die. It made me laugh.

I didn’t expect that the dead mouse’s colleagues would also be this interesting!
