one

I don't care what you are called, just get lost

I stared at this cunning person, his smile was truly radiant, I really wanted to dump this plate of Yangzhou fried rice that was not yet finished directly on his head

At that moment, what was originally a sweet taste in my mouth suddenly turned bitter, and that unexpected bitterness filled my taste buds, lingering in my mouth, leaving me in a daze for a long time

However, the process of recording the program was so tedious, laughing time and again, applauding time and again, that by the end we were almost falling asleep

We once accompanied Sister Suran to watch the recording of a variety show. Before the guests took the stage, the stage design, lighting, camera crew, directors, and even the host holding the script, all the staff were fully focused on verifying the upcoming arrangements

On that early morning train, as the dawn light gently illuminated the surroundings and the air felt crisp, she thought with great sadness, if only I were a young lady born into a wealthy family, driving a Maserati recklessly at the age of twenty... or if I were one of those girls who spend their days with reference books in the library, contemplating whether to study abroad or pursue a master's degree, or even if I were a trendy girl who goes clubbing every night with a designer handbag and an iPhone... he surely would not, nor would he dare, to insult me so bluntly... or if I were one of those girls who spend their days with reference books in the library, contemplating whether to study abroad or pursue a master's degree, or even if I were a trendy girl who goes clubbing every night with a designer handbag and an iPhone... he surely would not, nor would he dare, to insult me so bluntly...

I almost spat out my mouthful of fried rice when I heard "puff"!

Recalling the three colors described by Russell, the melancholy and gloom before boarding have only slightly diminished at this moment

In order to appear truly helpless, I even deliberately pronounced the character "呢" as "捏", all the while wearing a seemingly innocent smile, beneath which lies a heart that longs to howl at the sky: "In Changsha, you can take a boat to tour the Xiang River for just 5 yuan! Do you really have to bully outsiders like this!"

True love is actually quite humble; if you disagree, it is simply because you have not yet experienced it

Receiving a text message from Xu Zhijun was completely unexpected. I remember that he used to dislike lengthy and tedious text editing. His reasoning was that if something could be conveyed in a two-minute phone call, why waste time sending messages back and forth one by one.

The other party nodded and bowed apologetically: "I am very sorry, I was too reckless, I truly apologize, my name is Xiao Hang"

There is another person by his side, is this not what I once sincerely hoped for? Did I not generously say that he deserves to be loved and to love better?

I thought for a moment and replied to him with a single word: good

I gently closed my eyes, and for some reason, I suddenly recalled his face

After the surgery, Li Shanshan walked out wearing a mask, her eyes swollen, cursing: "Damn it, five hundred each time, another five hundred, if this continues, I'll sell everything I have and will have to resort to selling myself!"

You didn't see it, did you? She went to have surgery, and the aura she had was simply like that of the martyr Dong Cunrui... Hahaha

After disembarking at Kunming Wujiaba Airport, I put on my headphones and boarded the bus to Dali, thoroughly embodying my mother's words before I left: "Save where you can; do not spend a single extra cent on unnecessary expenses"

I truly do not understand what the issue is with this sentence, as that fellow suddenly lifted his head to glance at me, and then quickly lowered it again

Perhaps at that moment, Kang Jie also regretted making this call to me

Next, I will send a text message to Kang Jie, and her reply came quickly: Remember to bring a gift

When I saw the inscription on the title page of a book in a bookstore in Dali that read, "If it weren't for meeting you, I would still be unaware of my constant drifting," the bar where Kang Jie was located had already lit up its neon lights with a "pop" in the night.

Although I repeatedly comfort myself in my heart, I still feel a sense of shame

No matter how difficult the Olympiad problems are, there will always be a precise answer, but in love, there is none

I closed the book and looked around. Aside from my spot, there were indeed no empty seats left. There was nothing I could do but share a table with this filthy guy who had appeared out of nowhere. Helpless, I took my frustration out on the waiter: "Hey! Just one order of fried rice, why is it taking so long? I'm starving, I'm starving!"

Kang Jie remained completely still

He appeared before that plate of Yangzhou fried rice. I originally thought it was the waiter bringing the food, but to my surprise, when I looked up, I saw a huge package.

three thousand

Kang Jie shrugged her shoulders, pretending to be magnanimous: "Forget it, should I bite back after being bitten by a mad dog?" Before Li Shanshan could respond, she suddenly seemed to have a split personality and shouted in anger: "If you get rabies, why the hell don't you go get treated instead of learning to be a fool! Treating me like a young lady! What a great humiliation!"

Li Shanshan, whose scheme had failed, rolled her eyes at her: "If you have no money, why did you let go of a good opportunity to make money last night!"

Therefore, when I saw that message saying, "Be careful when you are out, Cheng Luoxun, you shouldn't always make people feel like you are trying hard to make yourself unhappy, trying hard to be unhappy, everything will pass," I felt a mix of emotions in my heart

As for me, I do not know how to precisely summarize my stubbornness; at present, perhaps living itself is my stubbornness

The Earth is constantly in motion, and every minute and every second in the world is changing. The growth and extinction of various resources are rapidly intensifying, while we remain unaware of the fate that is about to unfold.

He greeted me friendly when he saw me: "Hey, have you bought so many carpets?"

When the owner of those bright eyes leaned close to her ear and shouted over the deafening music not "Please give me a bucket of ice" but rather "Can you come with me tonight," it felt as if a heavy bomb had gone off in her head, with a loud "bang" that shattered her originally simple yet orderly world into chaos

As she walked into the operating room as if facing execution, Kang Jie felt a tremor in her heart

On the cruise ship, beautiful Bai ethnic girls performed the Three Courses of Tea for everyone, which is said to be a hospitality ritual of the Bai people. When the girl, who I was unsure whether to call the host, introduced "the first bitter, the second sweet, and the third lingering taste," my phone rang

Damn it, you startled me!

Finally, this one, ah ha, this is mine, only I can master this deep red color, which is loved by middle-aged women, so perfectly!

I am still a university student!

On that day, Kang was to accompany Li for her second laser scar removal surgery. Before they left, Kang Jie called me and said, "Let me tell you, I actually think her last name is Dong."

Upon arriving at the ticket purchasing location, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that a student ID qualifies for a discount, oh my, how delightful! I shall take advantage of the final days of my student ID to reap a few more benefits!

After a difficult round of haggling, I finally persuaded the dark-skinned woman to give me a discount of ten yuan

Kang Jiela, Li Shanshan: "Are you really at ease?"

Bored and listless, I began to read under the warm yellow light above me. In truth, I held a certain disdain for myself; if I were to see a woman in a white shirt, with hair resembling seaweed—oh, no, it should be long hair like that of seaweed—reading a book on Zen in such a noisy place, I would undoubtedly and arbitrarily conclude in my heart that she was a complete pretentious show-off

This was the first sentence that Lu Zhiyao said to me

Therefore, being understood is truly a luxurious matter

In the pitch-black corridor, elegantly dressed young men and women in red and green continuously swayed past her. She lowered her head to extinguish the cigarette butt, forcing herself to muster the energy to prepare for work

With the light from McDonald's, the still-shocked Kang Jie finally saw the person's face clearly; it turned out to be the scoundrel who wanted to pay the price of an iPhone 4 for a night of passion with her

But no one can sway Li Shanshan's determination to restore her beauty

Lin Yizhou, is the world in the heavens truly more beautiful than that on earth? Otherwise, why is it that after you have gone there, you no longer wish to return

She turned around and said to Kang Jie: "Since you are here anyway, why not just have that tear mole removed?"

There is a small glass window on the ceiling of the room, and the moonlight pours onto the floor like mercury. This is the first time I have spent the night so far away from home alone, and my heart is filled with both novelty and reflection

She was almost scared to death by this suddenly appearing jerk: "What the hell, are you a ghost!"

During the surgery, Kang Jie sat quietly in the corridor smoking a cigarette. Since the age of sixteen, cigarettes have been like an extra finger to us. We have said countless times that we would quit, yet we have never truly put it into practice.

I called my mom to let her know I was safe, but to my surprise, she was even more anxious than I was while roaming: "Have you arrived? As long as you have arrived, why are you calling? Just send a text! Alright, alright, I won't talk to you anymore, I'm going to tend to my vegetables..."

How did I end up knowing some bad friends

This is Changsha without Lin Yizhou and Cheng Luoxun

I was wrapped in a maroon shawl, armed like a terrorist, bouncing back to the inn, and as I passed the front desk, I once again saw that weary large bag.

At that moment, I wished I could tear my own face off and put it in my pocket. One hand trembled as I held the spoon, while the other hand clutched the edge of the wooden table tightly. My face turned red and then pale, pale and then red again, as I scolded myself a thousand times in my heart: "This is what you get for not studying English properly back then, for thinking that English would have nothing to do with you in this lifetime"

She glared at him fiercely, turned to leave, but was abruptly pulled back by him: "I am serious, just name your price."

four thousand

He mustered his courage and continued unabashedly: "Beautiful lady, please don't act like this. We are all young people, let's negotiate a price, shall we? If the deal doesn't go through, at least we maintain our integrity, right?"

Thinking of this, she let out a long sigh. She originally intended to hail a taxi, but upon recalling that the fare to get home would be enough for her meals for the entire day tomorrow, she had no choice but to get on the motorcycle parked next to the taxi and told the driver to go to the train station

However, one must accept the consequences of their bets

Li Shanshan was taken aback by her earlier tolerance and the sudden outburst of madness in the latter part: "Damn it, are you crazy too! Is it really enjoyable to split a sentence into two parts!"

In this place, all the singers are singing the same song, with a slight huskiness that is Xu Wei's tone; you will forever be my hometown in my heart

Why are you looking at me with that contemptuous gaze? He feels more wronged than she does, yet the people around him have already started to boo. What could be more important than a man's dignity?

The bond remains unchanged, and the love feels as fresh as ever; it is simply these eight characters

She never complains about how hard it is; she even feels that compared to those people with large and small bags waiting in the messy waiting room, being able to sit in McDonald's, enjoy a cup of chocolate, and flip through magazines is already quite comfortable

On the plateau, night falls later than in the city. While I was still dragging my luggage along the stone-paved road in Dali searching for a hotel, Kang Jie was already seriously applying false eyelashes in front of the mirror

A long time later, when Kang Jie received the first postcard I sent her from Yunnan, she texted me asking: Did you fall in love at first sight with that Lu Zhiyao?

On the way to Dali, I dozed off for a moment. When I woke up, I saw nothing but an endless expanse of sunflowers outside the car window, their golden hues swaying gently, while above me was the azure sky rarely seen in the city throughout the year

During this time period, the bar has not yet opened to the public. All the staff are still engaged in preparatory work, such as cleaning, inventorying the drinks, preparing snacks and fruit platters, and contacting guests to reserve tables. Of course, there is also the DJ. Everyone is busy, as if preparing for a grand banquet or performance

When Kang Jie changed her clothes and finished work, there were already few people left on the brightly lit and bustling Jiefang West Road, with only a few taxis parked by the roadside, their drivers lowering the windows slightly to smoke inside the cars

What is the reason for this strange feeling of bitterness in my heart? Who can provide me with a definitive answer

Under the pale moonlight, I quietly pondered that perhaps in this lifetime, I will never encounter anyone who cherishes me more than he does

"Why didn't you slap that wretched person?" This was the first reaction of Li Shanshan upon learning about the incident the next day

Indeed, she on the other end paused for a moment before continuing in a tone that suggested she was too lazy to engage in further trivialities: "There is a really beautiful girl by his side, with a great demeanor; even though Shanshan's words were not pleasant, she didn't get angry at all"

He laughed for a while and softly said, "OK... then let's speak Chinese, young lady, your hair is really long"

At the same moment, under the moonlight, Dali reveals the unique elegance of its ancient town, with the night enveloping its tranquil charm.

Not long after, when I wrote this sentence on the wall of the Lhasa Pingcuo Youth Hostel with a black pen, the song was still echoing in my mind

Kang Jie originally thought that that night would be just like any other day in the past. When she saw a guest raise the candle on the table, she struggled to squeeze through the tightly packed crowd and smiled as she asked, "May I ask what you need?"

As she spoke, she couldn't help but laugh, and at the moment her last word fell, Xiao Hang and everyone around him turned to stone.

However, I searched all over my body, almost to the point of taking off my socks in the street to look for it, yet I still did not see any trace of my student ID.

She has seen countless times girls in 10-centimeter high heels, with flushed faces, standing by the roadside, crying uncontrollably while making phone calls after getting drunk. She has also seen handsome boys hurriedly walking through the streets late at night, rushing to the newly opened nightclub.

As Kang Jie and Li Shanshan walked hand in hand to visit Sister Su Ran and see Qian Qian after leaving the hospital, I was bargaining with the local unlicensed guides on the streets of Dali, who were asking everyone, "Do you need a car? Do you want to take a boat?" I said, "Don't make it so expensive, after all, I'm just a student, very poor, can you make it cheaper, please?"

However, there is no way

Poverty is an undeniable condition that cannot be concealed; anyone can see through your predicament at a glance and use it as leverage to coerce you

We are all a group of stubborn individuals. Lin Yizhou stubbornly acts recklessly, Xu Zhijun stubbornly exercises restraint, Kang Jie stubbornly entangles herself with someone who continuously consumes her precious youth, Luo Suran stubbornly gives birth to a child and stubbornly raises her alone, and then there are Li Shanshan and Song Yuan, who, while stubbornly loving each other, also stubbornly torment one another.

I walk on the path of escaping fate, yet unexpectedly encounter fate itself

After taking a shower, I changed into a white shirt, draped my wet hair, and casually found a shop to sit down with that book. I ordered a serving of Yangzhou fried rice, and behind me was a gently flowing stream. Everyone around was laughing, drinking, and eating.

She certainly did not anticipate that from this evening onward, her life would open a brand new chapter

This city is so noisy, yet it is also so lonely

He truly resembles a spell, much like the tattoo on my chest, forever branded upon the soil of my life

Ten yuan can at least buy a bowl of noodles in Changsha, and you can even add a fried egg!

The room is cluttered with my luggage, and the package of medicine that Xu Zhijun gave me is placed on the table, containing a hodgepodge of items ranging from Banlangen to Pain Relief Treasure and various other things

Feeling a bit down, I wandered along the shops lining the street while muttering to myself. When I saw the colorful shawls, all my previous displeasure was instantly forgotten. To hell with English! This is China!

However, he has unspoken grievances in his heart

Before the surgery began, Li Shanshan said to Kang Jie: "If I scream later, you must remain calm! Don't come in to take a look! It's very frightening!"

Having said that, she was still not satisfied: "That useless Song Yuan is better off delivering packages; the monthly salary of a Shunfeng Express delivery person exceeds 10,000!"

Hmm?

Except for Chen Chen, no one knows that after she finishes work every day at dawn, she does not go straight home, but instead goes to the McDonald's at the train station to buy a hot drink and sit there, waiting until six o'clock, before taking the earliest bus home

After a silence of three seconds, I softly said: "Kang Jie..."

At the same time, Kang Jie was also in a state of madness; if it were not for the remnants of her rationality still able to control her actions, she would have truly picked up the bucket of ice on the table and thrown it at this shameless scoundrel in front of her

Her eyes, originally exhausted and devoid of spirit from the nightlife, suddenly ignited with a fierce flame in her pupils

Ah? I answered the phone in confusion, not knowing which performance she was singing from

Kang Jie, feeling reluctant, still retorted, "What’s so interesting? You’re not a celebrity!"

That night, after I finished writing the postcard, I lay in bed looking at the skylight, feeling melancholic and thinking that perhaps my mother was right; it was indeed a debt from a past life. I owe Lin Yizhou, Xu Zhijun owes me, and so in this life, we all must slowly repay our debts.

Kang Jie’s gaze grew colder

How can someone with such clean pupils utter such disrespectful words, it is truly outrageous

If it were not for having consumed so much alcohol, and if there were not so many onlookers around him cheering, this fellow named Xiao Hang would not be so audacious. In fact, he himself is unwilling to be seen as that kind of philanderer who hunts for beauty in nightclubs

We can never forget the impressive demeanor of Li Shanshan when we first saw her fighting on the street. I was still quite young at the time and, with a mischievous heart, told Kang Jie that one day we should go directly to her house and knock on the door without greeting Shanshan, just to see what this enchanting fairy looks like without makeup

Since she started working at the bar, she would not make calls unless there was something particularly urgent. In her own words, she says, "I am just a free person anyway, I have plenty of time but lack money"

The nurses in the cosmetic surgery hospital all wear pink coats, and their eye makeup is more alluring than the last. It is indeed not a regular hospital; who has ever seen nurses at the Provincial People's Hospital wearing nail polish

There is a glimmer of laughter in his eyes; he is no longer a young man just starting out. When he smiles, there are some noticeable fine lines at the corners of his eyes, within which are hidden the vicissitudes of life, as well as the marks of experience

May heaven bless me to never encounter this person again, this pretentious individual, who clearly speaks Chinese yet pretends to be a foreigner

Kang Jie smiled and said: "I want to cast a long line to catch a big fish, just like the girls in idol dramas do."

At the break of dawn, she felt a profound sense of sorrowful shame for her own poverty

Behind the sunglasses, whether it is disdain or envy remains unknown to others; only she knows the bitterness in her heart: she has unexpectedly become the kind of person she once looked down upon.

True love is, in fact, quite humble; your disagreement stems merely from your lack of experience.

Buddhism emphasizes the concept of reincarnation, and when many scientific and medical explanations fall short, metaphysics can provide a satisfactory answer

Natural beauty does indeed exist

Perhaps the time when Luo Xun accompanied me to the hospital, sitting in the corridor waiting for me, was also this kind of feeling... she thought

Kang Jie rolled her eyes: "You think you can trick me into suffering with you! Besides, you have no money. Do you think I don't know? The cost of getting a mole removed here could pay for dozens at a beauty salon on the street!"

With a numb expression, she pinned her employee card to her chest and leaned against the wall of the restroom, taking a final drag from her pre-work cigarette. She recalled Cheng Luoxun's poignant words before leaving: "How can one cure love's impotence?" Suddenly, she let out a self-deprecating laugh: Luoxun, you are love's impotent one, and I am love's famished one; who is better off than the other?

Indeed, it is the kind of large backpack that one often sees in National Geographic magazines or travel television programs, the kind that makes me marvel every time I see it, as it could fit my height of 1.68 meters inside. It is the kind of backpack that I would rather die than carry while climbing a mountain

In that moment, my foolish mind short-circuited: "Which ex-boyfriend of mine?" As soon as I asked, I regretted it. Who else could it be but Xu Zhijun? If she were to see Lin Yizhou, wouldn't that be a nightmare?

Perhaps life is such a painful process, but for those scattered moments of joy, pleasure, and solace, we must still bear the weight and continue to move forward, step by step

When it came time to pay, I had already calculated in my mind: this one is for Sister Suran, her ethereal and graceful demeanor would look wonderful in this! ... This one is for Li Shanshan, she can use it to dress up as an Arab woman, so she won't need to wear sunglasses ... but it seems that this is even more eye-catching than sunglasses ... This one is for Kang Jie, she can use it as an apron to make cola chicken wings for me.

What exactly caused us to miss out? I believe it should be my issue; I am too restless. Clearly, I yearn more for a free-spirited life than for the stability of the present world. Compared to the gentle warmth of being together with him, I seem to enjoy the suffocating entanglement with Lin Yizhou more, that feeling of tormenting every minute to the point of tears.

However, on this day, she did not notice that someone had been following her until she opened the door to McDonald's, at which point the person stepped in front of her and said, "Beautiful lady, I would like to apologize to you."

May I ask what is amusing about me

She should be called Dong Shanshan

Why? Can you please speak faster? This is really driving me crazy. What on earth is that lunatic Kang Jie talking about? Even if Shan Shan wants to take her husband's surname, it should be Song!

In the past, when I was disobedient and did not study diligently, my mother would always sadly say, how could I have such a daughter who causes so much worry, I must have owed you in my previous life

Sometimes you have to admit that careless words may come true, and the plot arranged by fate always aligns perfectly with the trajectory of your life

As for me, I can only raise my cup to invite the bright moon, and together with my shadow, we become three.

This scene easily evokes the words of Mr. Zhu Ziqing in "Moonlight over the Lotus Pond": The liveliness belongs to them, while I have nothing.

I swear I did not see it wrong, he is truly smiling

Who stands out alone, allowing me to hear lyrics that almost bring me to tears: I do not know how long I have been sleeping in the darkness, nor do I know how difficult it will be to open my eyes, I have come from afar to meet you.

I don't need others to mock me; I find it ...! ... This woman is truly ridiculous!

Life is a grand stage; some people transform a year into 365 days of diverse experiences, while others repeat 365 days into a long and tedious whole year

It felt as if, after a century of silence, I heard myself stammering in response to him: "I... uh... I just can speak English a little, uh... my English is very poor..."

And the saddest part is that you are so acutely aware that the greatest threat to your life is not others, but life itself

Six thousand, merely six thousand yuan, the price of a phone for those show-offs. That lunatic named Xiao Hang actually believes that a phone can buy her for a night!

Seeing those shawls that cost sixty to seventy yuan on Taobao being sold here for only thirty to forty yuan, I, being quite the shrewd shopper, was immediately invigorated. After a round of haggling, I finally fulfilled my wish and bought a large pile of them

A mobile phone! I, X, am worth a mobile phone for just one night! The price of those female celebrities circulating online for one night is equivalent to a helicopter! Is this the gap between people?" Kang Jie thought to herself, wanting to let out a long howl to the sky.

"Six thousand, is that acceptable? I will just consider it as having bought another iPhone 4." At this point, Xiao Hang had made up his mind; if the girl did not speak again, he would concede and tell her that this was merely a boring wager.

After getting to know Lu Zhiyao, one of his remarks absolved all my pretentious behaviors: In this world, all roads lead to being ostentatious

In fact, when Li Shanshan let out a terrifying scream, her heart was indeed in turmoil, yet she also lacked the courage to rush over and see what the situation of the surgery was.

Thus, having purchased an expensive full-price ticket, I, who am completely forgetful and lack any self-care abilities, excitedly went to tour Erhai Lake wearing a short-sleeved tee with an oversized collar and sandals, without having done any sun protection. When I was taking selfies at a 45° angle with my phone, I never imagined that just two hours later, the skin exposed to the sunlight would rapidly start to peel, turn red, and look utterly dreadful

I thought about it and replied to her: It is not love at first sight, but rather a feeling of familiarity at first sight

In fact, when Xiao Hang trembled and uttered the words "I'm sorry," she desperately wanted to cry; that sense of grievance could only be released through a heartfelt sobbing.

Standing at the entrance of the cosmetic surgery hospital, Li Shanshan suddenly stopped in her tracks. She lifted her head and, through her sunglasses, gazed at the giant advertisement on the glass. The women in the advertisement, with their affected poses, flaunted their artificial faces and prominent breasts, striking seductive poses for passersby, proclaiming themselves as miracles of rebirth. Accompanying this were highly provocative words: My double eyelids are fake, my nose is fake, but my beauty is real.

At that moment, both hearing and smell had already failed.

She grew up in this city, and her adolescence is closely tied to this road

Later, we seamlessly shifted to discussing some other matters, such as trivial topics like shallow diapers and Li Shanshan's surgery, and then we appropriately ended the call, as if nothing had ever happened

I looked at this person unhappily as he unloaded his dusty large bag and placed it beside me, wondering what he was doing. After a long journey, I hadn't even had dinner yet and was already filled with dust.

What is even more baffling is that he actually sat down next to me and began to seriously look at the menu

Before hanging up the phone, I finally shouted: "Damn it! Can you please stop bothering me with boring matters in the future!"

Kang Jie said mysteriously on the other end of the phone: "I ran into your ex-boyfriend today by chance"

However, nowadays, among these people, there will never again be that boy named Lin Yizhou, and I will no longer be able to see his slightly bluish eyes

Taking advantage of his engrossed meal, I quickly summoned the waiter to settle the bill, and then I picked up my book and slipped away. In fact, I didn't even know why I had to run; it's just that my English is poor, so what? I can still speak Mandarin after all

In the bustling and entertaining city of Changsha, every seemingly tough individual harbors a lonely heart

However, she smiled sweetly and said, "Sir, the six thousand yuan from that shameless person is not enough to make me a shameless person as well"

Listening to the busy tone coming from my phone, I truly feel a sense of helplessness that makes me want to cry without tears

Her words reminded Kang Jie of the unpleasant events from the previous night

When Cheng Luoxun is not around, these two individuals resemble two atomic bombs that could explode at any moment, wandering the streets of Changsha

At that time, we were all very excited, looking eager to try, as if we were not spectators but guests

In fact, we did exactly that; she opened the door in the early morning, her hair standing on end in anger, and we, in our disheveled state, were both taken aback.

No one will sympathize with those who have been mad from the very beginning

She was completely unaware that a pair of bright eyes was fixed intently upon her

I really want to cry

... ...

I shot him a glare and hurriedly ran upstairs, returning to my own room.
