Back home that night, Xiong Yue became more and more afraid the more she thought about it.
And Bao Shuai sent her a WeChat message: "Are you there, Xiong Yue? I'll tell you an interesting thing tonight."
Xiong Yue felt her heart beat faster, and she calmed herself and replied: "I'm here, you can tell me."
Bao Shuai: I talked to my roommate Agua about you tonight when I got back to the dorm.
Xiong Yue: Oh.
Bao Shuai: As we were talking, Agua suddenly said that you were standing outside my dorm room door, so I made a bet with him.
Xiong Yue: Did you win?
Bao Shuai: Of course!
Bao Shuai: But there was indeed a person outside the door at the time, and he ran away in a hurry when I opened the door... But in the end, Agua still treated me to ice cream.
It seems that the young man in white clothes in front of the window should be Agua.
Xiong Yue thought for a while and typed: "Bao Shuai, can you give me your roommate's WeChat?"
Bao Shuai: Why do you want Agua's WeChat?
Xiong Yue: Nothing, we're all friends, I just want to have a way to contact.
Bao Shuai was silent for two minutes, seeming to be thinking, and then replied: "I'll ask Agua for you, this needs his consent."
"Okay." Xiong Yue waited patiently.
After another two minutes, Bao Shuai replied: "He agreed, I've pushed your WeChat to him, he's already added you."
Xiong Yue's phone showed that there was a contact request to be added as a friend.
Xiong Yue looked at it, and the contact's avatar was a void of white, white merging with the color of the WeChat interface, making it impossible to see the boundary, and the name below had only two words:
"Agua."
Xiong Yue clicked agree and began to chat with Agua.
Xiong Yue: Hello, I'm Bao Shuai's colleague, my name is Xiong Yue.
Agua: Hello, I'm Agua.
Xiong Yue: As far as I know, we shouldn't have a colleague named Agua in our company, may I ask how you moved in?
Agua: Bao Shuai let me move in.
Xiong Yue: So, where do you work?
Agua: I don't work.
Xiong Yue: Where is your home?
Agua: I have no home.
Xiong Yue felt a little strange holding the phone. She found that Agua's replies were very fast, and the time of each reply seemed to be exactly the same, like a robot. At the same time, Xiong Yue was also chatting with Bao Shuai, Bao Shuai's reply speed was obviously slower, and the content was mostly asking what they were chatting about.
And Bao Shuai and Agua's messages were all sent in an interleaved way, there was never an overlap in information, which was very suspicious - it seemed like two people were using the same phone, or rather, these two accounts were operated by the same person.
This person used Bao Shuai's account to type, Agua's account would temporarily wait; when typing with Agua's account, Bao Shuai's account could not send messages...
A very bad hunch rose from the bottom of Xiong Yue's heart.
It was possible that there was no such person as Agua, and it was very likely that Bao Shuai suffered from a split personality or some other mental illness, this disease made him talk to himself in different tones, and also made him sensitive and full of fantasies. He was completely silent during the day, and at night, he started to talk endlessly with his imagined roommate.
Xiong Yue felt a little cold all over. She tried to calm herself down, and in order to further verify her guess, Xiong Yue said to Agua: "Could you please send a voice message?"
This time, Agua took a full two minutes to send a voice message that was only 1 second long.
Xiong Yue tapped to play it, and only heard a low, fast voice saying: "Hello Xiong Yue, I'm Agua."
Xiong Yue listened carefully twice, and she was sure that this was indeed the voice that came from Bao Shuai's room.
So, Xiong Yue also said through voice: "Hello Agua, I heard that you and Bao Shuai are very good friends, can you send me a picture? I haven't seen what you look like yet."
After the message was sent, Xiong Yue also sent a selfie of herself, and then waited patiently.
It took a full 5 minutes for Agua's WeChat to reply: "Sorry, I don't like taking pictures."
Xiong Yue said unwillingly: "Let me see you, I'm really curious about you, just send a picture."
This time, Agua did not reply for a long time.
Xiong Yue asked Bao Shuai: "Do you have a picture of Agua? I want to see what he looks like."
Bao Shuai replied: "I don't have a picture of him, Agua doesn't like taking pictures."
"Then can you take a picture now? I'll treat you to dinner after taking it," Xiong Yue continued, unwillingly.
She hoped from the bottom of her heart that she was wrong, as long as she could see a picture of the two of them together, it would prove that Bao Shuai's mental state was normal. As for their relationship, how they had concealed it from their colleagues, that was another matter.
However, after 5 minutes, Bao Shuai replied: "No, Agua has already fallen asleep, and I'm going to sleep too."
Xiong Yue's mood plummeted, and then Bao Shuai added: "Come to my dorm for dinner tomorrow night, Agua said he wants to see you, you can also come and try my cooking."
Xiong Yue stared blankly at the line of text on the phone screen and replied: "Okay."
