"Suddenly, a unilateral video chat from an online friend?"
Her words were abrupt, but the other person understood them easily.
"Yes, it's like you turned on your camera but I didn't. Are you living in Hai City now?"
"Yes."
"In a hotel?"
"No, I found a rental."
"Why didn't you contact me? You said when you come to Hai City, I'd take care of all your food and fun, and when I go to Yun City, you'd cover my meals and accommodation."
Mu Qiu: "I wouldn't dare bother a big shot."
"We've been virtual friends for quite a while," he said in a lazy, teasing voice, "When someone criticizes you, at least I can help you retort."
"I appreciate that, but there's no trouble; I haven't been affected much."
"Mm—" He elongated the sound, "If you're not affected, that's good. There's an author's meet-up here in half a month, you should be on the list, I can take you there."
"Author's meet-up?" Mu Qiu was quite surprised, "An exclusive event like that, I can attend?"
