CH 9

[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. ]

[HR: Kitten giggles.jpg]

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. ]

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

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.
