"Li Qing, want to see a movie this weekend? I found a really good horror film called 'Zhenzi vs. Gourd Kids,' and it's getting rave reviews lately! I really want to go, but I'm too scared to go alone. Will you go with me, pleeease?"
"Sorry, I've got to play Luke this weekend, can't make it."
Li Qing looked at his phone with a melancholic expression, staring at the 'smile' emoji sent by the woman he marked with a red heart.
He didn't know what he said wrong for her to respond with such a deadly 'smile' emoji. Clearly, he was handling serious business, moving bricks to save for a down payment.
He really liked this woman, though she was three years older than him... But as the saying goes, a woman three years older is like hugging a golden brick, right?
"Sigh!"
He sighed deeply, then quietly opened his phone browser, skillfully navigated to a website, and picked up a tissue next to him...
To wipe the grease from the corner of his mouth.
