Li Chunhua was bored. 

She had nothing to do, and Li Caiyi hadn't returned home yet. Her brother holed himself up in his room while her mother was out. Li Chunhua had nobody she could talk to. She had spent the last hour reading but quickly got bored with it and played with her phone instead.

After completing a hundred or so levels, she gradually became bored with it, too. Hence, she threw her phone to the bed and buried her head into the pillow.

"Where did Xiaoyi go? What takes her so long?" Li Chunhua grumbled. Recently, her sister often went out to who-knows-where. 

Although Li Chunhua wasn't that close to Chen Ruolan anymore, they still chatted with each other from time to time. It was mostly Li Chunhua who wanted to know where Li Caiyi was, though. Because of that, she knew her sister wasn't with her friends right now. 

Li Chunhua frowned in displeasure as a thought came to her mind. "She must be with Dai Shenqiang again. How annoying."

She rolled from one side to another impatiently, but in the end, her frustration got the best of her.

"Ah! Forget it!" She sat up abruptly and grabbed her phone irritatedly. "If she can do it, then I can do it too! Xiaoyi is not the only one who can have fun!"

Li Chunhua opened her contact list and searched for a person she could talk to right now, but even after five minutes of scrolling up and down her contact list, she couldn't find anyone she actually wanted to speak with. Most of her connections were pretty shallow and superficial, so she wasn't that close with these people. 

If she texted them first, they probably would have replied to her text, but doing that meant that she had to keep her bubbly and cute persona, and that was too tiring. She wasn't in the right mood for that. 

"Is there really no one?" Li Chunhua looked disappointedly at her phone screen. She never thought about this before because she never had to worry about this but actually had no friends. 

Not acquaintances, but genuine friends. Unlike Li Caiyi, she didn't have anyone like Zhou Ya, Feng Nian, or Chen Ruolan by her side.

Li Chunhua's world had always been small, and she used to be content with it. As long as she had all her important people close to her, it didn't matter what others thought about her. She believed her world would always remain the same, and she would live happily together with her precious people.

But now, she wasn't so sure anymore. 

Li Chunhua mulled over it a bit before mumbling, "Should I try calling Brother Renshu?"

She was the one who said it, but strangely, her finger didn't make any move. It was like her body subconsciously disagreed with the idea.

"But Brother Renshu is probably busy, so I shouldn't bother him," Li Chunhua muttered and tried scrolling down her contact list again when her gaze nailed on one name. 

"The noisy one," she read the name in a low voice.

Li Chunhua added his contact reluctantly, so she used this nickname as his contact name because she wanted to avoid him if she could. After seeing his contact, she suddenly recalled that he had promised to give her advice whenever she was at a loss on what to do.

"That's right. There is still him! Hmph, I don't like this option, but I guess it's still better than nothing."

Without wasting any more time, Li Chunhua sent him a text.

[Li Chunhua: Hey, are you busy? This is Li Chunhua].

The answer came at lightning speed. He must be on his phone, too.

[The noisy one: Hey! I didn't expect you to text me this soon. What's up?]

[Li Chunhua: I was bored, so give me some advice on what I can do to kill this boredom.

[The noisy one: Huh? What's with that? I thought you direly needed serious advice, that's why you contacted me]

[Li Chunhua: This is a serious situation for me. It's boring because there's nothing I can do at home.

[The noisy one: Try reading or playing a game then]

[Li Chunhua: Do you think I will contact you if those things can entertain me? Aren't you my advisor? Think about something else.]

[The noisy one: You sure are pretty demanding for someone who is asking for a favor. -_-"]

[Li Chunhua: So what? Are you going to ignore me?]

[The noisy one: No, it's not that. Phew, what should I do with that temper of yours? Let me think about something then.

The corner of Li Chunhua's mouth unknowingly rose when she looked at the typing sign on top of her phone screen. He complained a lot, but he would still reply to her. Most people would usually be turned off if they knew how demanding she could be.

This guy was too noisy for her liking, but he wasn't that bad. Li Chunhua could use him to ease her boredom. 

He took more time to reply this time, and his following text made her tilt her head in puzzlement.

[The noisy one: Do you like animals?]

[Li Chunhua: I neither like nor dislike them. Why do you ask?]

[The noisy one: That's good! Be prepared to go out right now. I'm going to show you to a good place.

Li Chunhua squinted her eyes suspiciously. It couldn't be that this guy was trying to take advantage of this situation to ask her out on a date, right? 

Having boys pursuing her wasn't fresh news for her. She usually only needed to give them some attention, and they would buzz around her like flies. If it weren't because they still had some use, Li Chunhua wouldn't even bother remembering their name. Some of them were rude and obnoxious, so reading his newest text troubled her. Was this guy also one of those people too?

When she was deliberating on what to answer, he sent her another text.

[The noisy one: Don't think too much. I have no interest whatsoever in you.

Li Chunhua felt like she was slapped in the face once again by him with just that sentence. She hated how easy it was for him to push her wrong button. 

With her face flushed in embarrassment, she harshly pressed on her phone screen to type her reply. 

[Li Chunhua: I'm not overthinking it! Who cares about you? I'm just worried that this trip would be pointless, that's all!]

[The noisy one: Ah, no need to worry. I assure you this place is perfect for spending your time.. Just get ready and come to the location I sent you].
