The Spirit Group chat had been blowing up nonstop!
In the brief moment Yun Lai took out her phone, the unread messages had already gone well past 99+.
Messages flew through the group so fast that Yun Lai could not keep up.
She could only quietly type into the chat box: Slow down, too fast.
The moment those five words appeared, the group instantly fell silent.
Then someone sent a blushing-face emoji, and people started tagging Yun Lai.
Qiu Huan: @Senior Yun: Senior, please restrain yourself.
Bi Lai: @Mr. Yun: Mr. Yun, are you on the highway?
Feng Xing: @Senior Yun: Ah, this—so embarrassing.
Having no idea what was going on, Yun Lai sent a question mark.
Yun Lai: ?
Cui Cui Cui: @Invincible, Gorgeous, Beautiful Sister Yun: Senior, where are you? I'm at home.
Chang Kong: @Awesome Little Friend Yun: Little Friend Yun, today is the Ghost Festival. Why aren't you staying home?
Jing Zhou: @Team One's Little Cui @Celestial Masters Alliance Great Elder: Those nicknames are laying it on a little thick!
Cui Cui Cui: tongue-out emoji
Chang Kong: cool sunglasses emoji
Watching the messages fly by, Yun Lai quietly typed, "Jealous emoji. Working overtime today, crying emoji. No overtime pay."
The group collectively replied: "????"
Yi Ma: @Senior Yun: We were all notified to take the fifteenth of the seventh month off, so we wouldn't run into ghost officers escorting souls away. Senior, why are you still working overtime?
Qiu Huan: Exactly, Senior. Why work some ghost shift? Today's a day off! I saw that all those masters climbing Xuanwu Mountain had public leave too! Take the day off! We don't need to put up with that!
Seeing that all of them had the day off, Yun Lai felt even more dejected!
She had not felt it
