After Accidentally Inviting My High School Classmates to Gossip Together

[Updated daily at 18:00] Ning Xi is socially anxious, except online. When she has nothing to do, she likes gossiping with fellow fans of the same celebrity. Her fellow fan had always been rather indifferent, but at some point, she seemed to change. Ning Xi comes across gossip about a rival celebrity getting into trouble. Ning Xi: [Bestie!!! Huge gossip! Get over here!!!] Fellow fan: [Is there any risk of going to jail?] Ning Xi comes across a concert performance by her idol, Zhou Jia Yun. Ning Xi: [Aaaaah, so cute! The cutest thing ever!] Fellow fan: [Average.] Ning Xi comes across a seaside team-building vlog posted by a dubbing studio. Ning Xi: [Yu Ran is dressed so conservatively. Looks like he has no figure.] Fellow fan: [He's got it.] Fellow fan: [He's really got it.] Ning Xi: ??? She suspected her fellow fan had switched allegiances. So she went back and checked the videos her fellow fan had shared with her over the past week [I told you, Yu Ran's face belongs in the world heritage register!] [Yu Ran's voice is incredible!!! What a waste that he's not a singer!] [He didn't even take his clothes off at the beach. Such a gentleman!] Ning Xi: "..." Sure enough, she'd switched allegiances. The problem was, she'd switched to Ning Xi's former high school classmate. * In high school, Yu Ran had a secret crush on a girl, but it came to nothing. The only connection they still had was that they had added each other as friends on a social media platform back then. Unfortunately, the girl hadn't posted anything in years. Even her profile picture was pitch-black. Just like his impression of her from back then: quiet, introverted, and aloof. Until one day, a message popped up in his inbox, enthusiastic and impatient.

In the end, even the promotion she'd already been promised was snatched away at the last moment by a relative of the parachuted-in "general manager from headquarters." Ming Nian flung down her resignation letter, then remembered she still had a one-month notice period. She decided to give up and spend the month slacking off. If you slack off well enough, your desk might as well be in Bali. On her eighth trip to the restroom, she happened to see a post by her ex-boyfriend, Jin Yan: [Any tips for slacking off?] The reason they broke up was simple He thought she loved work more than him. Back then, Ming Nian thought she was in the right, but looking back now, she realized she did have some things to feel guilty about. To make it up to him, Ming Nian wrote down her best tricks for slacking off and shared them with him without holding anything back. Ming Nian: [You're welcome. Now we're even.] Jin Yan: [?] * Years had passed, and Jin Yan's intelligence had plummeted. She spent days teaching him, but he still couldn't get the hang of it. At least they had more and more to talk about, until eventually they started talking about that biased boss at headquarters. After Ming Nian had insulted him a hundred times, Jin Yan asked: [What's his name?] Ming Nian: [I don't know, but they call him Mr. Jin.] Ming Nian: [What a coincidence, he has the same surname as you.] * Ming Nian only found out later that Jin Yan had forgotten to include a screenshot in the post he'd made that day. His six-year-old nephew had been playing a game called [Slacking-Off Expert]. Forthcoming Novel 2: Embers (The characters' professions may change.) Shen Zhiyi and Jiang Jin's marriage was a transaction in which each got what they wanted. They met for the first time on the day they registered their marriage. Afterward, they went their separate ways and didn't contact each other for two years. Later, Shen Zhiyi's flower shop accidentally caught fire. Flames soared into the sky, smoke filled the air, and she was lucky to survive. She sat miserably by a flower bed, her little face black with soot. A neighbor watching the scene asked sympathetically, "Young lady, where's your family?" Shen Zhiyi said blankly, "I only have a husband." The kind neighbor pulled out her phone and asked, "What's your husband's name? I'll call him for you." Shen Zhiyi thought for two minutes. "My husband... what was his name again?" * After going to the hospital and confirming she wasn't seriously hurt, Shen Zhiyi ran into the firefighter who had rescued her at the entrance. He wore a black windbreaker, with deep-set features and an aloof, formidable air. He looked very unapproachable. Shen Zhiyi had never been good at dealing with people like him. But since he had saved her, she gathered her courage and greeted him, then asked worriedly, "Why are you at the hospital? Were you hurt saving me?" "I'm here to see my wife." "What's wrong with your wife?" He looked her over a few times, his tone carrying a touch of lazy indifference. "She's probably lost her memory." Theme: Words online are blades. Speak with kindness.
