When Tang Tang woke up that day, the first thing she heard was the sound of Sister Wang's short videos.
Sister Wang's earphones had run out of battery, so she had to use the speaker. Although the volume was low, Tang Tang had been listening to similar content for months, and her ears were practically growing calluses.
She turned toward the sound and saw Sister Wang with her back to her, leaning beside the bed as she tidied things up. The phone was right behind Sister Wang's head.
Tang Tang gauged the distance between herself and the phone, then rolled over with every ounce of strength she had.

She stretched out her stubby little arm and stopped the video.
She was truly sick of listening to it.
Once that was done, Tang Tang casually rolled over again, planning to roll back to her original spot.

Sister Wang picked up her phone, utterly baffled.
"I set it to autoplay. Why did it pause?"
The video had stopped
