Now that things have come to this...
Zhao Xun could only take a deep breath.
Then some grand pronouncements floated through my mind, such as "Everyone dies eventually, whether it's as light as a feather or as light as any other feather," and "Since ancient times, no one has escaped death; dying early or late is still death."
Answer the call!
"Hey Uncle Ma..." Zhao Xun called out softly.
The more polite you are, the more civilized you are.
A deep baritone voice rang out from the other end:
"—Hmm, Xiao Zhao, looking for my daughter?"
Zhao Xun was about to say something, but then she immediately felt that Uncle Ma's usually deep voice sounded effeminate today.
"...Ma, Jiao, Jiao!!"
This isn't a call from Uncle Ma at all.
It was clearly the big girl who called him using her dad's phone!
"Oh dear, you recognized me." Ma Jiaojiao's voice was light and cheerful, with a hint of amusement.
It didn't sound like the reason for not being able to reply to his messages in time was due to either physiological or psychological reasons.
Zhao Xun breathed a sigh of relief; it was good that nothing had happened.
Then he became furious.
—No, I was thinking you didn't have anything going on, so why aren't you replying to my messages?
He hadn't even opened his mouth to question it.
Ma Jiaojiao asked with a rather leisurely air, "Senior, why have you come all the way to my dad's place? Is there something you need?"
When her dad handed her the phone, he only said, "Xiao Zhao is looking for it."
Ma Jiaojiao was initially quite puzzled, thinking, "Which little Zhao—oh."
After realizing it was Senior Zhao Xun, she didn't pay much attention to the message on the screen and immediately made a call.
Only then did he finally glance at the screen while speaking.
"—Huh? Something's up with the club?"
Ma Jiaojiao found it strange. It was the winter break, and the Lunar New Year was just around the corner. Even if the club had something to say, they shouldn't be talking about it at this time.
Zhao Xun: "...You!"
He really didn't know what to say.
When he didn't hear Ma Jiaojiao's voice, he was quite worried that something might have happened to her.
After realizing that she was alright, Zhao Xun felt a little guilty for being overly sentimental.
He weighed the pros and cons—but, defying all conventions, he messaged Old Ma about this very matter.
If the topic were to be changed at this moment, then his determination to die would have been for nothing.
Besides, not replying to a message is, no matter what, her being impolite.
Zhao Xun didn't do anything wrong. All he needed to do was question her fiercely, mercilessly, and with harsh words!
"...Um...you didn't reply to my message—"
Ma Jiaojiao: "Oh."
Zhao Sun: ...
Oh, this guy can even export it?
He just gave a nonchalant "oh"?
Did I hear that right?
This big girl not only refused to admit her mistake, but also dared to provoke me!
Zhao Xun was furious:
"I fucking thought you were dead!! I messaged you, and you didn't even utter a sound for ages, did you!?"
Faced with Zhao Xun's questioning, Ma Jiaojiao was stunned for a long time.
But he didn't get angry, or even talk back:
"…puff."
She even laughed out loud.
This left Zhao Xun completely stumped.
"What the hell are you laughing at!"
When Ma Jiaojiao replied, she was clearly trying hard to suppress her laughter:
"Um, senior, do you remember when we played games together last night?"
"…how??"
"During the last game, I mentioned that some relatives were coming over with their kids, and I would probably have to use my phone to play games with them—and I also had to help out at home, cleaning and chatting with them. I was worried the kids would mess around with my WeChat, so I logged out and logged back in beforehand… When I told you about this, you even hummed in agreement and said, 'Kids are so annoying…' I thought you remembered it."
Ma Jiaojiao spoke very softly and gently, her voice sounding delicate.
Zhao Sun was taken aback.
Then the memory returned.
There's foreshadowing.
When he woke up this morning, the conversations about "having children" and "Do you like children, senior?" from the game were still ringing in his ears.
The relationship was the trigger for this whole "big girl" thing...
Zhao Xun remained silent.
He remained silent.
He looked at the bed next to him and the messy sheets on it.
…It turns out he was just careless and didn't remember what the big girl said.
And yet, they still unleashed a torrent of attacks on the other side.
"...I see."
Zhao Xun hesitated for a moment, then opened his mouth as if to apologize, but didn't know how to begin: "My..."
I hadn't even pointed out the typo.
"Feel sorry!"
The muscular girl suddenly looked serious and apologized, "I'm sorry to have worried you, senior. I should have let you know later!"
Zhao Xun's throat moved. He first said "no," but after thinking for a moment, he added:
"You'd better say it again next time... Well, it's alright, that's all, you can go ahead and do your work."
"Okay~~~ Goodbye, senior~~~"
*Smack*
Zhao Xun hung up the phone immediately and quietly placed it on the bedside table.
He glanced at the ceiling.
Then, with a whoosh, he shrank into the blankets, curling up like a shrimp, his hands covering his head.
"Aa ...
"Ugh—what the hell am I worried about?!"
"Aaaaaaaahh ...
He let out extremely painful groans, as if he were in a hellish prison, suffering repeated torment.
My embarrassing past has been added to the list.
Zhao Sun: ...
He wants to shut out the entire world.
