In the afternoon, Xue Rui and Lin Ruoxi left school early. He sent a message on WeChat to Gu Muxue, telling her he wouldn't be coming for their tutoring session.
The result was predictable: he was met with a pouting emoji from Gu Muxue.
With the release of the new iPhone, Lin Ruoxi, being a developer, upgraded to the latest iPhone 5S. Xue Rui took her old one.
It wasn't that Xue Rui couldn't bear to buy a new one; it was just that the new model also had a tiny four-inch screen. The iPhones of this era were too small. On top of the short battery life, they also charged ridiculously slowly. Meanwhile, the Android ecosystem was a mess, with poor performance and few good options.
He actually preferred using a Nokia. He could just stuff a few extra batteries in his pocket and never have to worry about charging.
All he needed was a universal charger to keep the batteries full, unlike now, where he had to clutch a power bank.
