Chapter 13 - Poached "Pearls" with Conch (4)

Lisa's cheeks instantly started burning. They were honestly burning up...

And, because of the frantic reposting of the Weibo tweet, her computer crashed...

All the voices disappeared.

Lisa took two breaths to help herself recuperate before hurriedly rebooting her computer.

However, just as she pressed the button to do a hard restart, her dad and mom returned home. "Lily, hurry and go take over for your cousin. He's going to be late for his matchmaking date. After your dad and I finish dinner, we'll go to the grocery store and relieve you so you can come back and eat."

In that brief moment, Lisa thought of countless excuses, even going so far to consider flopping down, rolling around, and declaring that she had a stomachache from hunger. Unfortunately, her mother immediately saw through her ploy. Without even glancing at her, she waved her hand and stated, "Don't even think about pretending to be sick. Our family grocery store is right across from the hospital. If you really are sick, then it'll be on the way." Mom took off her coat and headed into the kitchen, not even giving her the slightest chance to resist.

She had no choice but to hastily throw on her coat, grab her mobile phone, and head out.

She, as the owner of the chat room, had suddenly vanished while the room was still occupied by numerous big-name CVs...

As she ran downstairs, she rushed back online onto YY using her mobile phone while, in passing, also silently mourning that her data usage this month was definitely going to exceed quota. However, to her surprise, when she entered her room, everyone was gone already.

It had only been a few minutes... But that made sense. Toupai was eating with Mingyu and Eunwoo, and it was dinnertime now, so she reckoned that everyone else had also headed off to fill their stomachs.

But ...

She touched a hand to her cheek.

It was still burning hot.

Strictly speaking, she should be classified as someone who was collaborating with Toupai rather than just simply a fan, and she should be very rational in regards to the various sorts of jesting and teasing that was commonplace in this entertainment circle. What was the big deal? Honestly, nothing. Even in her own music association, all those shouts and declarations of coupledom and official pairing — whether they be boy-boy, boy-girl, girl-girl — were in the end, merely close friendships, k?

And anyway, Toupai had only said that he liked her voice, right? ...

Lisa tried her best to cool down while proceeding step by step down the stairs. In the end, after some contemplation, she decided that she should definitely express her appreciation to Toupai, considering he was throwing his support behind her like that. After all, having Toupai's recommendation was better than her covering even a thousand songs.

Before unlocking her bicycle, she typed a WeChat message to Toupai: Thank you, Dada for your praise and great kindness.

Her key stabbed into the lock, turned, and opened it.

Toupai had already sent back a voice recording: "You're welcome. I'm still eating dinner, and it's not too convenient to type. Can we use voice messages?"

She sent back: "Sure. My computer crashed just now, and that's why I left the chat room. Um... Now, something urgent has come up, so I have to leave the house. Sorry about that, Jungkook Dada."

"Alright." His voice was nonchalant.

Lisa then climbed onto her bicycle, but on the way, she heard an alert from her mobile phone again.
