After the debate over bathing and phone calls ended, Gongsun Ce spent a few minutes recounting his experiences upon awakening. (Details about the chest assault were selectively omitted.)
"...That's how it is, big sister. Please give some advice to this young man."
"Indeed, indeed. Hmm~~~"
On the other end of the phone, Zero paused for three seconds before saying:
"What a pain, you little brat."
Gongsun Ce, clutching the phone, roared, "Can't you at least have a bit of sympathy for Mr. Gongsun's anguish?!"
"Sympathy for what? It's nothing but a whiny brat's ailment-free moaning," Shiyu Ling dismissively said, "'I'm so popular, I'm so troubled, what on earth should I do,' sounds like insufferable behavior that makes others want to punch you."
"I'm hanging up."
"That's too bad. I was bathing and about to send you a little treat."
"Really?!"
Before he could think it through, the words had slipped out without consideration.
