Ji's mother was very angry about Ji Chaoxi making her classmate prune the trees with her. In her words, "..."

"How ridiculous!"

Who asks their first-time guests to trim trees?

"Woof woof woof!" Ji Xinxin was overjoyed to see Ji Chaoxi being scolded and kept circling around Ji's mother.

Wearing a straw hat and holding a large pair of scissors, Ji Chaoxi stood in the sun, speaking with righteous indignation: "He agreed to it himself!"

Lu Huainan, also wearing a straw hat, said with a serious expression, "Auntie, it's me who wants to prune the trees because I want to be a gardener in the future."

Ji Chaoxi gave Lu Huainan an approving look.

Unexpectedly, Lu Huainan reacted quite quickly at this moment.

Lu Huainan's ears turned red, and he turned his head away without saying a word.

Mrs. Ji: ...

Mr. Ji stood in the shade, gulping down his tea. Why is everyone standing in the sun? It's so hot.

Finally, Lu Huainan played with the golden retriever until it was exhausted before going home. When he left, the golden retriever was lying on the ground, exhausted, and fell asleep shortly afterward, without even eating dinner.

After dinner, Ji Chaoxi started patrolling her Weibo square again.

She wanted to see who was talking badly about her, so she searched everywhere and found that most of the comments were praising her, with a few that she couldn't understand.

[jzx is quite fun... I didn't like her type before, I always thought her voice was too soft, like a fly buzzing, but now I think her way of speaking has a unique charm [touching chin]]

Ji Chaoxi was overjoyed when she saw this comment and gave it a like using her alternate account.

[This Xixi is just so adorable, she's completely won me over.]

Thumbs up!

[This woman's singing is awful. Can her fans please stop praising her so blindly? It's my ears that are hurting!]

Ji Chaoxi blushed when she saw this Weibo post. Was this person a hater? But when she clicked on it, she realized that the person was indeed her fan, so she silently scrolled past.

[San Zi punished this girl by posting her chat history, but unexpectedly, she fought back. Wow!]

Ji Chaoxi silently liked it.

Occasionally, someone in the square would make sarcastic remarks. Just as she was about to click to join the battle, she discovered that L had already turned on his mic.

[L: Is it fun to bully an honest person? You guys just take advantage of her not knowing how to swear and try to pin shit on her! [rolls eyes] [rolls eyes]]

[L: What's the point of talking if you didn't pay? [Confused] [Confused]]

An angry passerby posted a screenshot, saying, "Who said he didn't send gifts to Ji Chaoxi!"

[L: A few dollars? Anyone who didn't know better would think it was millions spent! [doubtful] [doubtful]]

Regardless of whether someone has spent money or not, L can always find a way to argue his point.

Ji Chaoxi's fans were cursing the haters while also cursing L. L was focused on cursing the haters and didn't even look at the insults from Ji Chaoxi's fans.

After years of fighting, he had long since gotten used to it.

[Uh...who are you, sir? Do you need to speak up for Ji Chaoxi? Can you stay away? [confused]]

[What a jerk! He's even more annoying than those haters.]

[Stop trying to get attention, okay?]

Ji Chaoxi watched L get scolded and became happier and happier, she was practically sparking with excitement as she clicked "like" on the post.

Just then, a private message suddenly came in.

L: Aren't you asleep yet?

Ji Chaoxi stared at his private message and hesitated before replying.

[Ji Chaoxi's biggest fan: What?]

The other side replied very quickly.

L: Oh, it's nothing. I was just asking. It's not late now, you should go to sleep.

Ji Chaoxi frowned deeply.

[Ji Chaoxi's biggest fan: I can sleep whenever I want, leave me alone!]

This time, the other party responded very slowly, and Ji Chaoxi felt that she had given L the wrong impression that she was too easy to talk to.

Lu Huainan stared blankly at the chat box on the other side of the screen. He ignored her; he had only said something, but he wondered if she was angry.

Lu Huainan lowered her eyes. She didn't know his identity yet, but the truth would eventually come out.

During this period, he kept having the same dream: that she discovered L was him and then stopped talking to him.

They were back to their high school self, in an even worse situation than before.

Lu Huainan's face turned pale instantly.

L: I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention to you...

Lu Huainan typed in a daze.

Ji Chaoxi across from him was testing him again.

[Ji Chaoxi's biggest fan: Oh, I see. Thank you for your concern. I think you're a really nice person. Are you also from University A? What's your major, year, and name?]

This was the first time Lu Huainan had ever met someone who could so directly extract information from others.

This was his last chance, his last chance to confess. If he missed this opportunity, he didn't know how long he would be tormented by his conscience.

Lu Huainan felt his breathing becoming difficult. He was covered in cold sweat, and the pale blue screen reflected on his face as he typed with trembling hands.

He typed and deleted the words, then typed and deleted them again, but he still gritted his teeth and sent it.

L: I'm sorry, I'm Lu Huainan...

He waited a long time without her replying to his private account, so long that he thought she had fallen asleep and hadn't seen his message.

Just then, his WeChat suddenly rang. It was from her, and it included a screenshot.

[Ji Chaoxi: Hahaha, Lu Huainan, this person claims to be you.]

Lu Huainan's heart stopped when he saw the WeChat message; he was trembling.

[Lu Huainan: I'm sorry, this is indeed me.]

He frantically typed in his memo, expressing his regret and explaining why he had done what he did. His hands were shaking so badly that he almost thought he had Parkinson's disease.

He typed for a long time, wanting to copy the apology from the memo into the chat box, but the chat box showed that the character limit was reached. He then deleted and edited the text, preparing to send it in more than a dozen paragraphs.

But won't she get tired of reading so many words? She's said she doesn't like short essays.

Just as he finally sent out his refined essay, a red exclamation mark popped up.

[Ji Chaoxi has enabled friend verification. You are not yet her friend. Please send a friend request first. You can chat after she accepts your request.]

The night outside the window was dark and gloomy, with cicadas chirping incessantly, the wind gently blowing through the leaves, and the shadows of the trees on the ground swaying incessantly.

A knock suddenly broke the silence, and the door opened abruptly, letting in a sliver of light.

"Brother, what happened to that bear you were dealing with last time..." The younger brother opened Lu Huainan's door with a worried look on his face.

Upon seeing the scene before him, his face immediately turned terrified.

The room was very dark, and the curtains were not closed. Lu Huainan lay on the carpet, dressed neatly, with the moonlight streaming in from the window and casting a soft glow on his face. He held a phone in his hand and was crying with a cold expression.

The younger brother gasped as he watched this scene.

His brother looks like a ghost, it's terrifying.

He asked cautiously, "Brother, that giant bear..."

Lu Huainan stared blankly at the ceiling, tears soaking the carpet. He whispered, "She'll never forgive me..."

The younger brother choked for a moment, then continued, "Brother, your sister-in-law also wanted that bear. How did you contact her?"

Lu Huainan's tears flowed like noodles as he choked out, "She blocked me."

The younger brother looked at Lu Huainan lying on the ground, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself. Wasn't it normal to block him? His brother was so rude.

"Brother, you should take care of that bear first..."

Lu Huainan closed his eyes with a cold face, letting the tears stream down his face.

"I will atone with my death."

The younger brother scratched the back of his head: "It's really not that bad, bro."

Even if he were to atone with his death, he might not be forgiven; then his death would have been in vain.

Although he didn't know what his brother had done wrong.
