Dad: Good to hear that. My poor thing of a daughter can’t be with such a fierce man!
Yu Kairan: She’s blissfully strolling the streets of Penalan. She has things to buy and attractions to see and even has the company of a handsome dude. Look at how happy she looks. How is she a poor thing?
Mom: She’s blissfully strolling the streets of Penalan. She has things to buy and attractions to see and even has the company of a handsome dude. Look at how happy she looks. How is the poor thing?
Yu Bao’er: …
Yu Bao’er: Wah, how could you guys treat me like this. [My heart aches so much.jpg]
Yu Bao’er: [I’ll watch while you guys spout nonsense.jpg]
Yu Bao’er: [Stupid human beings are just jealous of me (slant-eyed look).jpg]
Yu Kairan: [Pui, look at how degenerate she is!.jpg]
Mom: [Let’s just pretend to agree even though we know she’s a fool.jpg]
Yu Bao’er: Mom, you… I’m going to vomit blood, I’m going to vomit blood!
Mom: Quick, ask Gorgeous beside you to do CPR on you!
Dad: Miao Erhua, what nonsense are you spewing! This is your daughter!
Mom: Goon Yu Dazhuang, do not call me by my pet name. Have fun sleeping on the sofa tonight.
Yu Kairan: Mom’s usage of memes and Internet slang is becoming increasingly impressive…
Yu Bao’er: Dad is still stuck in the last century.
Dad: What are you talking about? [Let’s toast to our friendship.jpg]
And then, there was silence in the group chat.
Seeing Yu Bao’er typing away merrily on her phone and even letting out cheerful waves of laughter now and then, Huo Yingcheng curiously edged closer to take a look. He saw a series of memes flying across the screen. He knew that this was a unique culture of China.
Its popularity had been rising for tens of years and was incredibly popular.
He, too, liked to use it back when he was in China. It was just that he didn’t dare to use it to retort at Helian Niancheng.
“What are you looking at?”
Seeing Huo Yingcheng edge closer, Yu Bao’er moved her phone aside warily, retracting the smile on her face.
Huo Yingcheng sputtered with laughter. “Don’t tell me I’m not allowed to see how the photo you took of me looks like?”
“Very handsome, very imposing.”
Yu Bao’er said in an extremely perfunctory tone, “My mom and the rest all said you look handsome.”
“Your mom?”
Huo Yingcheng looked surprised. “Why did you send my photo to your mom and others?”
“What are you thinking? I was merely sending them my travel photos, and that photo was one of them. At the very least, you took me around the city these few days.”
Huo Yingcheng responded with, “Mm. So when are you going back?”
Dammit, only after she went back could he go back to handling his matters. Now, he was stuck with having to take her around to have fun.
“Soon, about next week.”
After all, she didn’t know anyone else here, so Yu Bao’er didn’t wish to stay for long.
She stared suspiciously at Huo Yingcheng. “Are you very happy to hear that I’ll be leaving soon?”
“What do you think? I have to accompany you to have fun every day. It’s holding me back from attending to proper business.”
Yu Bao’er felt aggrieved. “You can choose not to. I’m familiar with the place now, I can stroll around Penalan by myself. If not, I can also call for help. I’m not insisting you accompany me… Although I’m very thankful to you for keeping me company these few days. You can leave now if you wish. I’ll walk around by myself.”
Huo Yingcheng: “…”
Although he did say that, he still felt goddamn annoyed when he heard her chasing him away!
