Just as expected, after scrolling through a few boring short videos, Sun Qing started to yawn, and her eyelids began to droop. Just as she was dozy and about to put her phone down, 'ding'—a WeChat friend request notification came in.
Ge Qing obtained Sun Qing's WeChat ID from her father-in-law and, without further ado, and regardless of the late hour, sent Sun Qing a friend request.
The message read: "I am Ge Qing, Bai Dingxian's mother."
Sun Qing: "..."
The six words, 'Bai Dingxian's mother', struck Sun Qing like a thunderbolt, leaving her in a daze for a good while.
When she came to her senses and was in a frantic scramble to accept Ge Qing's request, her hand slipped, and the phone smacked straight into her forehead, bringing tears to her eyes.
Sun Qing clutched her forehead, inwardly crying out in pain.
It really hurt.
She pouted and clicked 'Accept'.
Ge Qing had sent the request intending to go to sleep right after, not expecting Sun Qing to still be up at this hour.
