It was nearing midnight.
Zhou Li and Huai Xu lay side by side on the bed, their heads together. In front of them, a laptop displayed a Taobao page, its light making their eyes shine brightly.
Huai Xu was really enthusiastic about it, constantly offering his opinion:
"This one looks nice!
"This one's not bad either!
"I like this one; the ladder is a set of drawers!
"This one is ugly…
"This one is really ugly…
"This one is too small; it's for little kids…
"This color is a bit dark, not cozy. Click on it and see if there are other colors available."
Zhou Li's fingers glided over the touchpad. The computer had heated up a bit, making his fingertips slightly uncomfortable after a while. A mouse would have been better… He added all the bunk beds that Huai Xu had approved of and that he also liked to the shopping cart, adding about a dozen in total, preparing to "nurture Gu."
"My eyes are getting a bit sore."
"Mine aren't!" Huai Xu immediately said. "Hurry up, next page!"
