"… Scram! The thing I lost is my most precious freedom, all right?! Freedom!"
She tightened her grip around the phone. If her best friend were here right now, she would really smash this phone onto her face.
"Ha ha!" Her reply amused her best friend to no end.
"All right, the young girl who lost her freedom, please tell me how that happened. Could it be that you sold yourself to your boss?"
She said that in a jest, but what she received as a reply was her silence.
"…"
The silence on the other end made her panic.
"Don't tell me that I guessed it right? You really did sell yourself to your boss?!"
Pei Ge winced from her friend's bellow and moved the phone away from her ear.
"Pei Ge, you'd better not tell me that that is true! Speak! Don't pretend to be mute!" Tang Xiaoyu raised her voice, totally discarding her previous thought of appeasing the other.
"It's true…" she admitted softly.
