Zhuo Zhi was making another douyin when Lu Xia walks into the locker room. He gives him an odd look, which results in a wink from his senior.
When Zhuo Zhi finishes his douyin, he picks another. He really wants to finish some so he could post more often. Unfortunately, tennis practice takes up a lot of time outside of school and seeing his brother, so he had to film them all in a row.
Tang Jiale and Chi Dayong enter during the fourth douyin he makes. Zhuo Zhi doesn't look when they enter, but does invite Jiale to join him for one, since he also does douyin.
"Sure!" He exclaims. "Which one will we do?"
Lu Xia continued to wonder what they were doing, but as he was about to ask, he was pulled out of the locker room by Qiao Chen. Still, it was very familiar.

This time, Jiale was pleading with Dayong to make a video with him. "Dachi, please make a video with me! Just one! Please!" He was practically jumping up and down.
"Okay, but only one."
Jiale practically squeals, and sets to finding the perfect one to film. He chooses a cute one, much to Dayong's displeasure.
"Jiale, you know I can't be cute! It doesn't look good on me!"
Jiale clutches his heart, as if he has been shot. "Dachi! You look good doing everything! Why must you lie to me?" He asks dramatically, and that's the moment Lu Xia enters. It's after practice, and he's in a rush. He has to meet up with Qi Ying in less than half an hour!
While he rushed to put his things away and change, Jiale convinces Dayong to do the douyin with him. Lu Xia can spare only a fleeting thought as he rushed out the door, realizing that he forgot his homework in the club office.

Finally, Lu Xia had enough wondering. "What are you guys doing?" He asks, trying not to sound too eager.
Jiale and Zhuo Zhi share a look while Dayong audibly groans from the other side of the club office. They rush to his side and begin talking at once.
"It's called douyin!"
"It's short videos of music-"
"You should try it, Lu Xia!"
"-and Jiale's been doing it for a while, too-"
After a while, Lu Xia was certain that he knew what they were talking about. He just couldn't remember the name for the life of him. He even had an account abroad!
Jiale pulls out his phone and entered the password while still talking rapidly. Either he was taking way too fast or Lu Xia really needed to work on his Chinese, Lu Xia thought.
Eventually, the app opened and they pointed out various things about it. He definitely knew what it was, why was it so hard to remember-
"TikTok!" Lu Xia suddenly exclaims. The other two looked a bib shocked at his outburst, so he clarified. "TikTok is what they call it abroad. I have an account, actually!"
Jiale and Zhuo Zhi share another look and simultaneously look back at Lu Xia, grins on their faces that make him slightly unsettled.
"Make a douyin with us!"
