Chapter 636: Chapter 636: She Didn’t Expect It to Happen So Soon in This Life
Song Jingtian’s voice message whisked through the group chat like a chilly autumn breeze.
Tang Li opened the [Chat Information] page to discover that the group owner was unexpectedly [Song Jingtian]. When she returned to the chat window, Fu Si had already fired off three messages.
[Fu Si]: “Where the hell did Song Yuan disappear to?!!”
[Fu Si]: “When did the group owner change!”
[Fu Si]: “F*ck, dude just got done cramming and gets stabbed in the back like this!”
Fu Si wanted to keep going but received a system notification: “You’ve been removed from the group chat by ‘Legit Young Masters#’.”
Once again, the chat group settled back into silence.
At this point, the former group owner Song Yuan popped up.
[Song Yuan]: “Welcome to the little sister! [Flowers]”
Fu Chunhe: “…”
Xu Dong: “…”
Tang Li couldn’t pretend to be invisible anymore and could only reply: “Thank you. [Grinning]”
[Fu Chunhe]: “[Flowers]”
[Xu Dong]: “[Heart]”
[Song Jingtian]: “[Bomb][Skull][Knocking on Head][Bloody Knife][Steaming Pile]”
“…” Tang Li.
Song Yuan immediately stepped in to smooth things over.
[Song Yuan]: “Uncle Jingtian’s way of welcoming people is really unique. [Smile]”
[Song Jingtian]: “[Rolling Eyes]”
Tang Li replied with a [Head Pat] GIF.
Then, she received a friend request from [Legit Young Masters#].
Just after Tang Li accepted, Song Jingtian sent her a resentful voice message: “I really underestimated you. One nephew isn’t enough, going around catching so many strays.”
“Is that the right way to use the word ‘strays’?” Tang Li asked.
Song Jingtian hummed and continued his lecture: “Besides, keep a low profile in the group, don’t go about patting heads all the time, what if it causes misunderstandings when seen by others?”
“…” Tang Li replied: “They probably don’t have any ideas about kids.”
Song Jingtian didn’t send another voice message.
Tang Li asked him: “Did you just register this WeChat account?”
Wouldn’t you know it, the message failed to send.
A system notice appeared in the chat: “Legit Young Masters# has enabled friend verification; you are not his (her) friend yet.”
The Tang who got unfriended: “…”
On the way back to the Lai Family, Song Jingtian finally accepted her friend request.
The little guy posted a video in his moments.
In the video, a Corgi was running along the second-floor corridor of Tan Palace, dashing forward rapidly, the camera shaking constantly, with Song Jingtian’s voice calling out: “Tiger Whip, slow down! Slow down!”
Tang Li could already imagine the scene of him chasing after the Corgi with a tablet in hand.
At the end of the video, Song Jingtian suddenly said: “Big Bro!”
With headphones on, Tang Li rewound and watched the video several times, especially the end. However, apart from Song Jingtian’s abruptly stopping voice, she couldn’t spot Song Baiyan in the frame.
Though slightly disappointed, she still liked Song Jingtian’s video.
Before going to sleep, Tang Li received a message from Fu Si.
Looking at the string of [Pitiful] he sent, Tang Li finally relented and agreed to tutor him for two more afternoons.
At 4:30 p.m. the next day, after the tutoring session ended, Tang Li said goodbye to Fu Si and the others, and called a taxi using a ride-hailing app.
As she was walking out, someone came around the corner and bumped into her shoulder.
Caught off guard, Tang Li’s backpack fell to the ground.
The other person squatted down to help her pick it up.
“Did that knock hurt you?”
The man spoke with a foreign accent, which, however, sounded familiar to Tang Li.
She looked up —
Because he was of mixed heritage, the man had deep-set eyes and fair skin, looking at her with concern.
The person she didn’t meet until four years later in her past life, Tang Li hadn’t expected, in this life, to meet him so soon.
