"Cheers!"
The two cans of beer clinked together, raising a little fine white foam.
It was close to midnight, and the overnight package had already kicked in.
In the internet cafe.
Tonight, there weren't many people pulling an all-nighter, just a few folks lined up on the machines. They politely kept a significant distance from each other, to avoid being too loud with their trash talk while gaming.
Qiming took a sip of beer, and as the alcohol hit his taste buds, his eyes squinted slightly. The drink went down, but he still couldn't forget that feeling of humiliation in his heart.
Among the clattering keyboard noises, he let out a soft sigh and couldn't help but say,
"The heart of an old friend changes easily."
Cailang carefully cradled the beer can, took a noisy sip, and grinned foolishly.
"Come on, bro, let it go."
The game hadn't even logged in yet, and Qiming looked disheartened.
"True, when the old goes, the new comes."
