"He didn't mean to jump off the building. He was rehearsing in the classroom with a friend tonight when a bee flew in. They were both terrified. His friend was quick and ran out before him. He even closed the door. Then he was left alone, which made him even more frightened. Then his head went numb, and then..."
Season's Banquet: ...
Tao Yuche and Ji Yanli were chatting happily when the phone rang.
Seeing the caller ID, Tao Yuche fell silent for a moment, and Ji Yanli unconsciously clenched his fists.
Ji Yanli asked tentatively, "If you don't want to answer it, then don't answer it first?"

"You know I'll definitely do what I said, so you insist on asking me to agree first. So, this must be something I don't want to do, right?"
After Tao Yuche finished speaking, Cao's mother remained silent for a long time.
