His phone was switched off the day he first entered the mountains, and he missed a lot of things happening outside. In addition, his eyelids kept twitching on Saturday, and he had a premonition that something bad was going to happen. So the first thing he did after leaving the mountains was to charge his phone.
My phone, which had been out of power for a week, only got about 1% charge after about five or six minutes of charging, and it still wouldn't turn on.
Zhou Cheng glanced at the clock on the wall, turned around, took a clean change of clothes from the box, and plunged into the bathroom for a shower.
When he came out, his phone was already charged to 10%.
After turning on the phone and connecting to the data network, various news messages and missed calls popped up, causing the phone to freeze for a while.
A few seconds later, Zhou Cheng opened WeChat and saw a barrage of messages from Sheng Zhuo, Liu Xu, Grandpa Zhou, and his parents. Grandpa Zhou had sent him 99+ messages, and it was obvious that he was bombarding him with pictures.
Zhou Cheng has obsessive-compulsive disorder and can't stand red dots, so he clicked on all the messages without looking at them, exiting immediately after each click, and finally replied with a "?" to the old man who sent him 99+ messages.
The old man spends all day at home either playing on his phone or watching TV; he's practically inseparable from it. Zhou Cheng had barely sent his question when he received a reply.
[The eldest son in the family: You brat, you're finally back! What have you been up to?! I called and texted you, but you didn't answer! Haven't been disciplined in a while and you've got a death wish?]
[Z: Get to the point.]
[The Head of the House: Your wife's hand is about to break! Hurry back and check on her! Where are you now? Don't tell me you're still out there. Have you gone to film another movie? Didn't you just finish filming? What are you doing now? You and Nan Sheng are newly married, and you're already filming out of town, neglecting her. Do you know how much you've hurt her feelings?!]
Grandpa Zhou was furious, and almost every sentence he uttered was accompanied by an exclamation mark and a question mark. Even through the screen, Zhou Cheng could almost feel the old man's anger.
He stared at the old man's message, "Your wife's hand is about to break," his brow furrowed. Before he could even ask what was going on, another video was sent.
He recognized the figure; it looked like Qiao Nansheng. So he clicked to look.
As the video played, the man's face grew increasingly pale, eventually turning completely black.
He immediately exited the chat window, found Qiao Nansheng's WeChat account, edited a message and sent it, but received a cold, impersonal notification.
[The message has been sent, but was rejected by the recipient.]
He was blocked by Qiao Nansheng!
Zhou Cheng's face darkened, and he immediately dialed her number.
It was a little past 10 p.m. when Qiao Nansheng came out of the bathroom after taking a shower. She had a face mask on and saw that it was Zhou Cheng calling. She answered the phone on speakerphone, threw the phone on the bed, and started massaging her face.
"What are you doing?" she asked casually.
"You hurt your hand? How are you now? Are you feeling better?" Zhou Cheng's concerned voice came from the other end, but unfortunately it was cold and emotionless, somewhat like he was interrogating a criminal.
Qiao Nansheng was oblivious to his feelings and firmly believed that he wouldn't develop real feelings for her, so she naturally didn't notice.
While massaging her face, she replied, "Oh, you mean this? I'm feeling better. What were you doing the other day? I sent you messages but you didn't reply. I was hoping you could play games with me."
"Take a picture and send it to me so I can see it." He paused for a moment, "You blocked me on WeChat again, remember to unblock me."
