Gong Zeye went on, “This is a common phenomenon. In our society, there are those who appear timid, quiet, and honest yet are actually very audacious online. They may be easy to bully in person, but when it comes to the Internet, they are the first to point their fingers at others. These are the keyboard warriors who like to hide behind the screen and criticize others. For instance, they like to lash out at others for traveling overseas even though they are also unpatriotic in the first place.”
“So are you saying that my wife is a classic keyboard warrior?” he asked his friend, eyes narrowed.
Gong Zeye immediately gave a slight pout. “What kind of bad example have I given just now? I should kick myself, indeed!”
Bao Junyan rolled his eyes at him.
“Brother Bao, let me create an online account for you!”
“Okay.”
His bestie was surprised to see him agreeing so readily. He had thought that he would need to spend some time to persuade him otherwise. Who could bring about such a change in him?!
Not only did his chief proactively ask him about the software he was using, now, he also instantly agreed when he volunteered to create an account for him. One must know that his Brother Bao had never liked such online chatting platforms in the first place!
In the end, he decided that he would return the money to his little sister-in-law by hook or by crook. Since this little woman was already holding such power over his chief, he would need to ensure that he would not offend her in the future especially!
“Brother Bao, what do you want for your nickname?”
“Bao Junyan.”
“Nobody gives their own names online!”
“Me.”
“C’mon, Brother Bao, don’t be so straight-laced! Let me help you with this!” He was eager to give a name that would make his chief feel good about himself.
You are a casanova and I am God.
“Brother Bao, I’ve added your wife. Come and send a message to her now!” He passed the phone to his friend.
He took the phone over and sent a message to her: “I’m your hubby.”
As Mu Huan was working in an agency, the flyers would have her number on it. Others would not need her approval to add her as a friend.
When she received the text from Bao Junyan, she was still fuming from the fact that Gong Zeye would not pay her.
The message only added fuel to the fire.
She replied with a text: “B*stard! Then I’m your granny!”
“What is this name—You are a casanova and I am God? The name doesn’t spell anything good!”
When Gong Zeye heard the beep on his phone, he called out excitedly, “Brother Bao, your wife has returned a message!”
The man switched on his phone and his friend drew close for a look.
When Gong Zeye saw what was written on the phone, he could not help bursting into loud laughter while his friend’s face turned terribly dark and sullen.
He picked up the phone and called his wife.
Soon, her sweet voice could be heard over the phone. “Hubby…”
He asked, “Are you my grandma?”
She was taken aback. What happened to this chap today? Did he just address her as his grandma?
She was just about to check with her husband on the meaning of his words when she was struck dumb with a sudden realization!
She recalled receiving an earlier message, which told her that he was her husband, to which she then replied that she was his grandma!
“Yes?” he prompted.
From across the phone line, she could sense the pending doom from his leisurely prompting.
She quickly replied, “Hubby, I didn’t know that was you. When I saw your nickname as ‘You are a casanova and I am God,’ I had a bad feeling immediately. That was why I replied with a scolding. I thought you were a bad guy!”
She realized she had said something wrong the instant the words came out of her mouth. Was she implying that the nickname he gave himself was rubbish and fitting only for a baddie?
“Hubby, I…” She tried to find an explanation but, somehow, she could not make it past the first word.
