After s.h.i.+ Yao thanked Juice, Expert, and Tide on the WeChat group, intentionally disregarding <111111> in the midst of it, she switched her phone to silent mode and went to sleep.
She had lessons at eight in the morning, so she woke up at six-thirty.
With ample time to prepare, she didn’t rush into the bathroom to wash up. Instead, she reached for her phone first.
Surprisingly, there were quite a number of notifications in her WeChat.
Who would send her so many messages in the middle of the night?
Perplexed, she tapped into WeChat and found that all of those notifications had come from the group.
Moving to the very top of the unread messages, the first thing that came into her view was the message sent from <111111>.
<111111>@: [I’m sorry.]
S-s-s-s-sorry?! s.h.i.+ Yao’s hands quivered so much that her phone nearly slipped past her fingers and smashed onto her face.
Mister Numbers actually apologized to me?
s.h.i.+ Yao rubbed her eyes again and again, and only after confirming thrice that she wasn’t seeing things did she finally steady her startled heart enough to continue reading on.
<111111>: [I didn’t mean to blacklist you. I wasn’t paying close attention earlier in the afternoon, and it seems like a pet that I’m raising accidentally swiped at my phone screen, blacklisting you by mistake.]
<111111>: [I’ve already taken you out of my blacklist. Can you take me out of your blacklist too?]
: [Boss, are you referring to Peppa Pig?]
<111111>: [That’s right, it’s Peppa Pig who blacklisted you.]
So… Mister Numbers didn’t blacklist me because he was angry that I killed him?
It turned out that everything was just a huge misunderstanding! But speaking of which, Mister Numbers is actually raising a pet? If its name is Peppa Pig, does that mean he’s raising a pig for a pet?
While thinking that Mister Numbers had such unique taste in his choice of pets, s.h.i.+ Yao continued scrolling through the chat log.
Mister Numbers had @’d her again to apologize to her.
Perhaps because she hadn’t shown up after such a long time, Juice and Expert had @’d her in the group chat too.
In the first place, s.h.i.+ Yao wasn’t the type to hold a grudge for too long. It was true that she did feel a little displeased after finding out that Mister Numbers had blacklisted her, but after hearing his side of the story, she decided to let bygones be bygones. On the contrary, she even felt embarra.s.sed at how her actions had kept them awake late at night. Thus, without looking at the messages after that, she immediately crafted a message and sent it to the group.
: [About that, I fell asleep last night.]
No one responded to her.
s.h.i.+ Yao a.s.sumed that everyone was probably still asleep, so she went back to browsing through the rest of the unread messages.
But she found herself meeting a whole string of red packets instead.
They were all sent by <111111>
Jelly, pudding, donut, juice, yogurt, and ice cream…
These were all the types of food that she loved.
s.h.i.+ Yao couldn’t help ravenously gulping down a mouthful of saliva as she stared at the screen intently. She didn’t accept the red packets, but she headed over to her blacklist to let <111111> out, and at the same time, she sent him a ‘heart laughter’ emoji too.
Considering how late he had slept last night, s.h.i.+ Yao didn’t think that Mister Numbers would respond to her messages so soon.
Thus, she climbed out of bed and began was.h.i.+ng up.
When she finally walked out of the bathroom, she grabbed her phone to take a look at the time, only to realize that there were unread messages in her WeChat.
Tapping in, she found that <111111> had sent her a message: [Good morning.]
Despite sleeping so late, Mister Numbers actually managed to wake up so early in the morning?
While s.h.i.+ Yao was still in the midst of thoughts, <111111> sent another message: [Why didn’t you accept the red packets in the group chat?]
s.h.i.+ Yao quickly replied: [I’ll accept your apology. There’s no need for the red packets.]
<111111>: [Are you still angry?]
: [Of course not. I’m already over it.]
<111111>: [Since that’s the case, accept the red packets then.]
“…” s.h.i.+ Yao was suddenly rendered speechless.
Is it normal for the wealthy to force people to take their money like that?
