Tang Nuan had asked out of genuine concern but only realized afterward that she had inadvertently revealed too much.
She and Zhu Tong froze for a moment before turning to look at the other party involved.
Shao Ming had stopped paying attention to them and was scrolling through something on his phone. Suddenly, he paused and smiled lightly. "Hmm, these photos turned out pretty well."
Zhu Tong: "?"
He leaned over to take a look, astonished. "How do you have access to this group?"
Shao Ming replied casually, "It's a new group I was added to; I'm not sure by whom."
Zhu Tong: "..."
Didn't that mean he had seen all the content shared in there?
"You..."
Zhu Tong hesitated, then asked, "Aren't you angry?"
Shao Ming replied, "Angry? Why would I be?"
Zhu Tong stammered, "Well... about what they said..."
Shao Ming asked, "What did they say?"
"..."
Zhu Tong suddenly froze.
Meanwhile, Tang Nuan had keenly sensed something was off. She glanced at the somewhat flustered Zhu Tong, then at the composed Shao Ming, and her eyes reflected a hint of realization.
She discreetly turned her body away, turning her back to them and straining to eavesdrop.
Zhu Tong, still unaware that his "comrade" had snuck away, couldn't help but think about the comments he had just seen on Tang Nuan's phone... he couldn't bring himself to speak.
"'Please make sure to bring him back safely!' What does that mean?"
"!"
Zhu Tong was shocked and stared wide-eyed.
He actually read it out loud!
Seeing Zhu Tong's silence, Shao Ming chuckled, "What about 'it's quite a good match for two guys'?"
"..."
"I must be going crazy."
"That level of familiarity shows this is a regular occurrence. The study god must have great stamina."
"Princess carry me, please throw more sweet dog food at me!"
["Dog food" in slang refers to the display of affection by couples, often on social media, which can evoke envy in single people. It suggests showing off one's relationship or happiness.]
Shao Ming's tone was calm, his voice light, and he read with little enthusiasm. Yet, the smirk on his lips clearly indicated he was in a good mood.
Zhu Tong didn't know what to say anymore.
Shao Ming continued, "This intimate position... the study god's..."
His reading suddenly halted.
The following comments would probably attract criticism if posted on a formal platform.
Even Shao Ming, with his thick skin, hesitated to read the rest. He cleared his throat, put his phone away, and turned to the utterly dazed Zhu Tong, assessing him seriously. "These people are quite interesting."
Zhu Tong: "..."
What's so interesting about them?
Shao Ming leaned closer and asked, "Are you angry?"
