"Parties can be such a pain."
In a quiet corner, Mu Lianmiao complained to Musheng, who responded with a smile, "Parties are bound to be annoying, but it's your identity that makes them so. Naturally, a lot of people want to strike up a conversation with you."
She spoke lightly, and just then, a phone call came in. Musheng glanced at it and saw it was from Ma Nanji. She promptly said to Mu Lianmiao, "Lianmiao, my brother is calling me. I'll take this and call you back later."
"Okay, make sure you call me back because I have something to tell you."
"All right."
After promising Mu Lianmiao, Musheng ended the call with Mu Lianmiao and then answered Ma Nanji's call, her voice turning cool, "What's up?"
"Can't you stop sounding like that scary head teacher we had back in school? I'm traumatized here!"
Ma Nanji's annoying voice came through as soon as the call connected.
"…" Familiar with this routine, Musheng shot back, "Just get to the point!"
