Aren't Spiders Scared Too? Sob, Sob, Sob!

An'an is a little jumping spider.

He always remembers the rules for living with humans:

Humans have irregular schedules, so spiders should adjust theirs immediately.

If you run into a human face-to-face, scurry away at once so you don't get kicked out.

If you're curious about what a human is doing, you can lower yourself on a strand of silk and watch quietly, but don't let them see you. (And never, ever get lazy and land on their head!!!)

With the survival tips passed down by his elders, An'an had always lived in peace with the humans he shared a home with.

Until one day, as he dangled from a thread and watched a human use the computer, he lost his grip and landed on the keyboard. Human and spider stared at each other.

An'an: "!!?"

Human: "!!?"

An'an shot into the air in terror: Aaaaaah!!

The human shot into the air too: "Aaaaaah!!"

The human was the captain of the PR esports team. At the world championship finals, his team came back from a two-game deficit to win the title, earning him the title of esports' pride and joy.

The very next day, during a livestream, a spider scared him into a spectacular leap, leaving him utterly humiliated.

Fans made fun of him until he was trending on Weibo.

In front of his audience, he scowled and ordered everyone at the club to mobilize. Coaches, managers, the world's best mid and top players, the world's best marksman and support, all of them had to grab brooms and insecticide. "In this team, either the spider lives or I do."

The human wasn't sure whether the spider had died, but afterward, every night between sleep and waking, he heard a pitiful voice muttering and rambling beside his ear:

"Spiders are timid, and they don't bite..."

"Spiders just stay in dark corners, eat bugs, and leave on their own Q^Q"

"You're a really, really mean person!"

"Do you think spiders aren't scared too? Waaah!!" (Sobbing loudly)

Human: ?

He slowly opened his eyes and, faster than the blink of an eye, smacked the bedside lamp on!

As the light came on, he saw a little jumping spider frantically reeling in its thread, rising slowly from his pillow.

Human: …

An'an sobbed: I'm sorry, I'm sorry, aaaaah, my stupid hand, get it back, help, QAQ!!!

It had been half a month since the captain was scared by a spider. Even his Weibo followers were nearly over it. For some reason, he found himself standing in the living room, calling everyone out and declaring gravely, "Find it. I want to see the spider alive."

Everyone gave him a collective question mark and asked what was wrong with him, and why he couldn't let a little spider go.

The top said without expression, "Because I'm a really, really mean person."
