"Li Qing, are you free to watch a movie this weekend? I found a really good horror film called 'Zhenzi vs Gourd Kids.' I heard it's gaining rave reviews lately! I want to go alone but I'm really scared. Could you accompany me, please?"
"Sorry, I have to play Luke this weekend, so I can't go."
Li Qing stared sadly at his phone, looking at the woman he had marked with a red heart, sending him a 'smile' emoji.
He wondered where he went wrong for her to send a deathly 'smile' emoji, considering he was handling serious business, working hard to earn money and save up for a down payment.
He actually always liked this woman, even though she's three years older than him... But as the saying goes, a woman three years older is like holding a gold brick.
"Sigh!"
He sighed deeply, then silently opened his phone browser, skillfully opened a certain website, and picked up the tissues nearby...
...to wipe the grease off the corner of his mouth.
