Tianxin hypnotized herself for a while before pulling out her phone, her fingers rapidly typing out a message to send to Chen Yiran:
Hey Yiran, my mom and her friends talked about you while playing cards.
Oh? What did they say about me?
Guess?
Handsome and suave, rich and impressive?
Impressive? Haha, you are heavy indeed.
My bad, I meant rich.
Yeah, yeah, they said you were very handsome, and praised your hard work.
That's nice.
They also said you have no interest in girls. Might be gay.
...
A string of ellipses came back from the other side.
Before Tianxin could feel elated, Chen Yiran had already called.
"I'm just... going to step out for a call..." Tianxin whispered, hunching over her phone after speaking to her mom.
Tianxin's mother glanced at her phone, understandable instantly, and simply waved her off without saying a word.
"Hello..." Tianxin only got one word out before being interrupted by vibrant crackles of firecrackers on the other side.
