Chapter 6
Peculiar Shared Phenomena
The sky screen continued.
Three months later.
Female student: Honey, are you there?
Half an hour later.
Male student: What are you doing again? Let me tell you, we are no longer in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship. Don't call me honey. Besides, didn't you say you were going on a blind date with that tall, rich, and handsome guy? Why are you looking for me?
Female student: Nothing, honey, I just want to talk to you a bit.
Male student: There's nothing to talk about between us. We are no longer in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship. Don't bother me again. I also have my new life.
The female student felt as if a sharp long sword had pierced her chest, causing indescribable pain.
Her hands trembling, she typed a line of text on her phone.
After a long hesitation, she finally pressed send.
Female student: In an hour, I'll be having surgery. I don't know if I'll ever see you again after this, honey, so I want to use this hour to talk to you one last time.
Male student: What surgery? What do you mean?
Female student: Nothing.
Male student: What on earth happened to you? Just tell me!
Female student: Honey, do you still remember the scene two years ago, when we first met under that tree in the university garden?
Male student: Why are you saying all this? What on earth happened to you? Tell me!
Female student: I remember, honey, you were helping a new junior move his luggage. The junior's luggage was too heavy, and you looked so exhausted you were almost collapsing. I still remember it vividly. I remember I laughed out loud and asked if you were okay. You said you were, and then you fell. I don't know why, but my head got hot, and then I joined you in helping that junior move his luggage...
Female student: Alright, honey, I'm going for surgery. I hope to see you again.
The Ancestors beneath the sky screen, watching the incomprehensible comments fiercely debating, couldn't help but feel a little confused.
This seemed to have nothing to do with those people, and arguing here didn't seem to affect the parties involved either.
The Ancestors felt that, indeed, the people under the sky screen were just too well-fed with nothing to do, spending all day on these verbose and insincere trivialities.
What good was lamenting spring and grieving autumn? Eating a full meal was what truly mattered. The Ancestors' thoughts were very simple, just like that.
Lin Si Yue finished watching the video, and the big pig trotters in her mouth no longer tasted good.
She rubbed her not-so-wet eyes with the back of her hand, then swiftly, with lightning speed, swiped past this video.
She wasn't one to cry easily, but she also couldn't bear to watch sad things.
Sniffling was out of the question; she would only transform her boundless sorrow into a frantic desire to eat, madly gnawing on big pig trotters.
【Has everyone noticed a strange, universal phenomenon among men and women nationwide?】
Lin Si Yue saw this video title, her finger paused, and she immediately became interested, sensing it was something amusing.
The Ancestors also felt it was something amusing.
What strange, universal phenomenon? Come on, come on, let them witness it, broaden their horizons.
【If a female student says she can't eat while having a meal, she will then immediately finish half a pound of snacks. If a male student says he can't eat, then even one more bite will rupture his esophagus.】
The Ancestors: Really? Why don't we know?
On their side, there was basically no such worry as "can't eat," because they were basically never full.
【If you see a male student on the street holding a half-finished drink, it means the drink is not good. If he takes another sip while throwing away the drink, it means the drink is not only bad but also extremely expensive, so expensive that he finds it very hard to decide to throw it away.】
Everyone: If it's expensive and bad, why buy it? Isn't that just pure foolishness and a waste of money? Wouldn't it be better to buy some delicious food with that money?
【If a female student says she needs to go to the restroom, it means she just feels a slight urge and can still hold it. If a male student says he needs to go to the restroom, it means he really can't hold it anymore; if he doesn't go, he'll directly pull down his pants.】
Those with and without paper were momentarily silent. The Ancestors expressed no opinion on this topic.
Let's see what kind of miraculous comments the people under the sky screen can produce.
The Ancestors of various dynasties: Hahahaha, too funny! So, later generations of men and women are like this? Truly hilarious.
However, some also noticed the repeated mention of "camera," and wondered what it was.
"According to the description, could it be a device that can track people's movements at all times?!" Someone considered this possibility, and couldn't help but shiver all over, their hair standing on end.
If that were truly the case, then what privacy would later generations have to speak of? This would be too terrifying, too frightening.
