F rarely uses WeChat, and his Moments page is like a fossil—never updated. One rare post appeared: a photo with the caption, Working overtime, busy.
The replies came in fast:
Colleague A: "Still working, F? Your wife would be heartbroken seeing this."
F replies: "She's asleep."
Colleague B: "You actually posted a photo?!"
F replies: "Yeah."
Classmate C: "You're sacrificing youth for your future, huh?"
F replies: "No."
Classmate D: "You're the pride of our class! Make us proud!"
F replies: "Wouldn't dare."
Guan Chao: "Business trip?"

F replies: "In Chiang Mai."
Guan Chao: "You let her travel alone? Aren't you afraid someone will run off with your wife?"
F replies: "It's fine."

F replies: "Okay."

F replies: "No pills. Call room service for hot milk, drink it and sleep. Turn off your phone. I'll call in 20 minutes to check."
Guan Chao: "WTF!!! The way you treat her vs. me is ridiculous!!!"
