"Stop messing around and go chat with your beau on WeChat." Qin Yin threw a throw pillow at Jian Yanyan.
Jian Yanyan let out a giggly laugh, catching the throw pillow tossed at her by Qin Yin. As she passed by Nan Sichen, she added, "Seriously, she keeps looking at her phone all the time."
After speaking, she took her fruit plate and returned to her room.
Nan Sichen walked over and sat down next to Qin Yin on the sofa. A prolonged silence ensued, and the atmosphere grew terribly awkward, punctuated only by the occasional cacophonous chatter from Liu Ruoju.
She was having a lively chat with her in-game husband on a voice chat app.
Seeking something anything to say, Qin Yin blurted out, "She's playing an online game."
"Hmm." Nan Sichen nodded.
Feeling at a loss for words again, and as Qin Yin was racking her brains to think of something to say, Nan Sichen unexpectedly broke the silence, "Is there any food?"
"Huh?" Qin Yin was caught off guard.
