Hello, How Long Has This Been Going On?

[It’s Xingguang: …Brother?]

 

[HR: You also know what other people say about me— they say I’m old-fashioned and boring.
You are a very good person, but if you like me, I’m the one that’s terrified.]

 

[HR: I don’t understand what’s good about me and I can’t respond to your interest, which makes you feel uncomfortable as well.]

 

[HR: I’m such a bad person.]

 

The time between replies was longer now.

 

[It’s Xingguang: Don’t say that, you are the best in my eyes…]

 

[HR: Don’t comfort me anymore; it’s useless.
I don’t even have the courage to see you now.
At any rate, I’ll look for the bracelet again at home.]

 

[HR: I want to be left alone, sorry.]

 

’

That’s the end of the record.
By the time Tao Zhiyue finished reading it, HR had already sent him several messages.

 

[HR: Doctor Tao, how am I doing? ]

 

[HR: I couldn’t hold my urges back until a while later.
It turns out that the feeling of being a green tea is so good that it can block others from talking.

Tao Zhiyue had to say that although Big Brother HR was not young, he was very talented in learning.
He accepted new things very quickly and imitated the behaviour of a true green tea very vividly.

 

[Tao: Your performance is particularly good that it reminds me of this emoji.

[Tao: Panda head crying on the outside but smiling on the inside.jpg](2)

 

(T/N: I actually can’t find this, might be a China-exclusive thing)

[HR: This is good!]

 

[HR: Doctor Tao, wait for me for a second.]

 

Tao Zhiyue was wondering what Big Brother HR was going to do, but soon, said man sent him another chat record.

 

[HR: I want to be left alone, sorry.]

 

[HR: Panda head crying on the outside but smiling on the inside.jpg]

 

[It’s Xingguang: Brother, the emoticon package is not used like this…]

 

[HR: Really? I thought it was emphasising that I was sad.
]

 

[HR: I’m so stupid to the point where I don’t even know how to use emoticons; I feel so uncomfortable.
]

The other party didn’t dare to speak at all.

 

Tao Zhiyue stared at the funny panda head expression and couldn’t help but smile.

 

[Tao: You are amazing, really.
]

 

[Tao: You slayed in your ability to speak sarcasm.]

 

[Tao: (You are the unprecedented number 1 winner of sarcasm and green tea level)]

 

[HR: Just a little revenge ^-^]

 

’

[HR: Ah! I learned something new today.
]

 

[HR: Doctor Tao, thanks to you for helping me analyse his psychological behaviour today, you truly know a lot.
]

 

The more Tao Zhiyue thought about it, the more he felt that he didn’t want Big Brother HR to misunderstand him any further, so he took the chance to explain a few things.

 

[Tao: There are all kinds of people on the Internet.
Netizens often like to hang out and say such sarcastic things.
Either ways, I have seen a lot of them, so I am familiar with them.
]

 

[HR: So it is.
]

 

[HR: Doctor Tao, do you think I should surf the Internet more and learn about what is popular among young people? ]

 

Tao Zhiyue immediately remembered the words in the previous chat records, “You know what other people say about me, right? They say I’m old-fashioned and boring.”

 

It seems that Big Brother HR is quite troubled by this.
As a middle-aged man, he was still willing to get in touch with new things in order to communicate with the youth.
Tao Zhiyue thought that he was very courageous.
