Chapter 333 Extra: The Last Melon 4
Xu Bai and Cheng Sangsang paused in their scrolling, then both looked up: "Hmm?"
The two of them quickly climbed up as well.
This realization stunned me.
Tu Yao stared at the screen, the smile on her lips slowly fading.
After all that commotion, when I looked back, I realized that Ma Zhiyuan seemed to have disappeared from the chat group.
All afternoon, Teacher Ma, who is usually very talkative, seemed to have been given a mute drug. She ran away halfway through arguing with Tu Chaoxi, and didn't react even after the program was launched.
Tu Yao nudged him. "Teacher Ma, what are you doing?"
Still nothing.
Xu Bai and Cheng Sangsang called him, but he didn't respond.
Wen Yu and Jiang Ye also realized what was going on and followed suit, tagging him.
Same thing, no response.
Now everyone was getting a little anxious.
When Tu Chaoxi came to pick them up, she saw three people huddled together, each holding a mobile phone.
"What happened?" He got out of the car and glanced at Xu Chi, indicating, "Wasn't everything resolved?"
Xu Chi smiled and shook his head meaningfully: "There's still one left."
Upon hearing the noise, Tu Yao immediately looked up and complained.
"Brother, Teacher Ma hasn't been replying to our messages since you had that argument!"
Tu Chaoxi frowned slightly, not really caring: "Who cares what he does? He's busy with his little essays all day, he doesn't have time for you."
He's such a coward, he doesn't dare argue with him, he just keeps typing on the keyboard like an octopus.
Tu Yao pursed her lips and handed over the phone directly.
"Teacher Ma is afraid of you. Why don't you call and ask?"
Tu Chaoxi: ?
"Why would I want to see him? To start a fight?" He refused on the spot.
"Hurry up and get in the car, the dressing on your wrist hasn't been changed yet!"
Tu Chaoxi was about to get into the car when she said that.
Tu Yao quickly chased after him, calling out, "Brother! Brother! Don't go yet!"
Turning his head, he glanced at Cheng Sangsang and Xu Bai, who also ran over one after the other to block the person.
"Yes, yes, Teacher Tu! You should call Teacher Ma right away! Just one call will do!"
Three pairs of eyes stared at him expectantly.
Tu Chaoxi: ...
Tu Chaoxi, worn down by his nagging, finally said, "...Fine, fine, fine!"
He took the phone.
Just as I was about to make the call, the screen suddenly vibrated and a message popped up.
Ma Zhiyuan: […Um, well, I have something to say!]
Ma Zhiyuan has emerged.
Tu Chaoxi quickly shoved the phone back into Tu Yao's hand, sat back in the car, and didn't seem to want to talk to her at all.
After a while, he frowned and took out his phone.
Cheng Sangsang (who owns a large apartment): [Teacher Ma, where have you been?]
Xu Bai (who owns the large single-level apartment): [What's up, Teacher Ma?]
Ma Zhiyuan: [Don't interrupt!]
Cheng Sangsang & Xu Bai: ...
Seeing his somewhat solemn demeanor, the group simply stood in front of the building, waiting for him to continue.
He was the one who wouldn't allow interruptions, and he was also the one who, after speaking, went silent again.
It got dark and chilly.
Five minutes later, everyone got impatient and turned off their screens to go home.
The next second—
Ma Zhiyuan: [Tu Chaoxi, I want to formally apologize to you.]
...
Everyone: ?
The streetlights were lighting up one by one. Tu Yao subconsciously looked across the street, and unsurprisingly, in the car, Tu Chaoxi glanced at the screen out of the corner of her eye, looking astonished.
Cheng Sangsang and Xu Bai tripped over each other and almost fell flat on their faces.
After finally managing to stand firm, Wen Yu and Jiang Ye had already sent their greetings.
[…Teacher Ma? Your account has been hacked?]
Teacher Ma, have you gone mad?
Ma Zhiyuan: [...]
Ma Zhiyuan sat upright in front of the computer, his face flushed with embarrassment.
What was the reaction of this group?
What?! Can't I apologize?!
Tu Yao glanced at Tu Chaoxi, who remained silent, then at the screen. After thinking for a moment, she asked, "Then why did you apologize?"
Ma Zhiyuan: [I...]
Ma Zhiyuan subconsciously looked to the side, his eyes dimming.
The huge computer screen displayed his homepage in a split-screen view. After an afternoon of online mockery, the negative comments brought about by the Hong Kong media's attack on him had gradually overshadowed the negative comments.
But he had to admit that he was besieged on all sides.
I have to admit, this feeling is unpleasant.
For some reason, he suddenly thought of the year when Tu Chaoxi was burdened with the seven deadly sins.
...If we were to make a comparison, the malice Tu Chaoxi endured back then would probably be a thousand times, ten thousand times, heavier than the predicament he faces today.
The fatal flaw was that he was the one wielding the knife at that time, and he had also unleashed preconceived malice.
Over the years, he has always resented Tu Chaoxi for constantly criticizing him. Even when they were in the same group, their only interaction was through sarcastic remarks to each other.
He was unhappy; he was dissatisfied.
But until today, he sat in front of the computer for an entire afternoon, and at one point it suddenly dawned on him.
It seems that Tu Chaoxi is not always dwelling on the past.
Rather, he owed Tu Chaoxi an apology from beginning to end.
Anyway, I'm sorry.
Ma Zhiyuan typed each word slowly and heavily.
He wrote many short essays, some of which were rambling and lacked focus, while others were full of criticism with sharp language...
None of that compares to the difficulty and hard work involved in conceiving these few lines today.
But none of that compares to the ease and joy of typing these few lines today.
The chat group fell silent again.
Everyone remained silent in front of the building.
Tu Yao glanced at the opposite side seemingly casually.
In the car, Tu Chaoxi was holding up her phone and had obviously seen Ma Zhiyuan's words.
Immediately afterwards, Cheng Sangsang also looked over.
Xu Bai also secretly glanced over.
Noticing the successive glances directed at her, Tu Chaoxi's expression stiffened, and she turned her head away with a sneer.
"...Has Ma Zhiyuan gone mad?!"
The streetlight on the front of the car snapped on and shone directly on his face.
You can clearly see a faint red tinge at the base of the ear.
Tu Yao couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Tu Chaoxi: ...
He immediately glared at her, feigning anger.
"Pfft"
The second tone comes from Cheng Sangsang.
Tu Chaoxi's anger intensified.
Then came the third sound.
Xu Bai quickly covered his mouth.
But the next second, the phone started vibrating wildly again.
Jiang Ye: [Hahahahahahahahahaha]
Wen Yu: [Hahahahahahahahahahahaha]
Tu Chaoxi: ...
Tu Yao couldn't hold back any longer and burst out laughing.
Cheng Sangsang and Xu Bai also let go, laughing heartily.
Tu Chaoxi stared blankly for a long time, until finally, she couldn't help but smile.
And so, the crisp laughter pierced the quiet night.
