Cheng Zhu received a message on WeChat from Shen Qingning, which made her pause momentarily.
Regardless of whether his words were true or false, it proved that the sender had never considered initiating a private chat with her.
Shen Qingning sent a photo she had taken, along with the message, "Remember to tell Little You tomorrow that I am using this keychain properly."
"Alright," Cheng Zhu replied.
And with that, the conversation abruptly ended.
A good online chat shouldn't just consist of a question followed by an answer, but rather, it should involve passing the conversational baton back and forth.
Your reply should not only respond to her message but should also continue the topic or start a new one.
Cheng Zhu clearly understood this simple principle and knew full well that by replying with a mere "alright," this private chat was effectively over.
But he wanted to end it there.
