"Li Qing, want to go see a movie this weekend? I found a really good horror film called 'Zhenzi vs. Gourd Kids,' and I hear it's getting rave reviews lately! I really want to see it but I'm too scared to go alone. Can you come with me, please?"
"Sorry, I have to play Luke this weekend and can't go."
Li Qing looked sadly at his phone, at the woman he marked with a heart emoji, sending him a 'smile' emoji.
He had no idea what he might have said wrong for her to send him that deadly 'smile' emoji. Clearly, he was handling serious business, working hard to save money for a down payment.
He actually really liked this woman, even though she's three years older than him... But as the saying goes, 'A woman three years older is worth her weight in gold.'
"Sigh!"
He sighed deeply, then quietly opened his phone browser and skillfully navigated to a certain website, grabbing the tissues beside him...
To wipe off the grease from the corner of his mouth.
