雨晴：在农场的生活怎么样？

同屋：我非常享受这里的生活。感觉特别安静，自由，除了工作的时间，没人打扰我。

雨晴：你交了些新朋友吗？

同屋：没有。你懂的。我不擅长交朋友。我觉得一个人待着挺舒服的。

雨晴：我正好相反。越安静我觉得越空。有时候一整天不和别人说话，心里就发慌。你不在的这段时间，我可孤单死了。

同屋：我知道。我们就是感受力很不同的两个人。对我来说，独处时充电。我一定要有自己独处的时间。

雨晴：真羡慕你能这样。我不敢想我一个人在你那种农场待那么久。一想就孤单。

同屋：哈哈，你靠热闹补充能量。快让你的约会对象带你出去玩玩，感受一下热闹啊。

雨晴：啊，我正想说呢。我和上次跟你提到的那个哥哥去看脱口秀了。我们都特别喜欢。这段时间我们约了几次会，感觉挺好的。

同屋：那不就很好？可是你要分清楚啊。你是不是因为感到孤单才喜欢跟他出去玩的？这个也能影响你的感受力。

雨晴：我知道。哈哈。
