The daughter turned her back, covered her ears, and pretended that the person wasn’t talking about her.

<Half an Acre of Peach Blossoms> felt her temple throb. She clicked on the pop-up window, and the contact name was ‘Dear’.

She scrolled through the chat history from the day before yesterday, her face contorted in disbelief, like an elderly person staring at their phone on the subway.

The other party sent a lot of strange love messages to her daughter.

She couldn’t help but read the text aloud from the beginning, “The posts on my WeChat Moments that you’ve liked are called donuts.”

“Can you smell a faint burning smell in the air? That’s because my heart is burning for the princess.”

“Guess what my zodiac sign is? I’m not a Pisces, I’m tailor-made for you.”

Her daughter didn’t reply until the day before yesterday when she finally said, “Let’s break up.”

From then on, they started sending out short essays.

“Your Highness, you actually want to break up with me? My heart is breaking so badly I can hardly breathe, and my heart is throbbing with pain.”

“Do you know why my eyes are so bright? Because they are filled with you. If you insist on leaving, then the light in my eyes, the light in my world, will vanish.”

“Do you know what my favorite drink is? It’s baijiu and my wish for a long and lasting relationship with you.”

“Your Highness, I went out to a party with them today. After they heard that you were going to break up with me, they bought a lot of alcohol, saying that they would get drunk to drown their sorrows.”

“I drank so much, but you’re becoming clearer and clearer in my mind. I really can’t forget you.”

“When you get married to someone else in the future, don’t invite me, because it will break my heart.”

“Your Highness, let’s meet at school from now on, and be the most familiar strangers.”

“I poured a can of beer over my head—I’m resigning, and that’s it for life.”

Viewers in the livestream chat: “???”

[Goodness gracious! It’s so awkward, so corny, and so funny all at the same time.]

[What the hell is this princess’s love story? It’s like something out of a primary school student’s! It’s hilarious!]

[Oh my god, I’ve learned something new! I’m going to tell my girlfriend right now.]

[Plus one, I’m going to go and ruin my best friend right now.]

[I already told my boyfriend, and he broke up with me that very night.]

<Half an Acre of Peach Blossoms> was stunned into a daze.

There were some more things sent that she was too embarrassed to read aloud because they were just too cheesy.

After reading through these short essays, it seemed that the boy had been hospitalized from drinking, and someone else had taken his phone to send messages.

“Sister-in-law, my brother drank two bottles of baijiu and a bottle of beer for you. He drank until he was foaming at the mouth and ended up in the hospital. In the ambulance, he was still thinking about you. Even though he kept saying he wanted to break up, he couldn’t forget you at all.”

“Could you see your older brother one more time, give him a chance, have a good talk, so that you won’t regret it in the future?”

As <Half an Acre of Peach Blossoms> read this, her brows furrowed, fearing that her daughter might really have gone, and she turned to read the next part of the text.

Daughter: “Wasn’t he supposed to be hospitalized for three days of observation? How come he’s out so quickly?”

“With my brother’s status, getting discharged from the hospital is just a matter of asking a few words. Would those doctors dare not let my brother go?”

“If they dare, we’ll turn the hospital upside down and show them what regret really means.”

Viewers in the livestream chat: “???”

[Hahahaha… With my brother’s status… I can’t laugh anymore, family.]

[A tough guy, taciturn and ruthless, he got drunk over love and ended up in the pediatric ward. The doctor wouldn’t admit him, so he went to the hospital as a group, and they all ended up in the pediatric ward. The tough guy isn’t alone.]

[Thank you to this kind soul! My toes are back to life! They’ve even started awkwardly digging into the ground. I no longer have to worry about my toes going necrotic.]

[Is this really a middle school student? I was still playing in the mud with my friends back then.]

[Actually, it’s quite common. When I was in junior high, the ‘Shamate’ style and the ‘Funeral Love Family’ were popular. Now that I’m working, I finally understand how our parents viewed us back then. With the internet so developed now, kids are maturing earlier, it’s perfectly normal.]

[Quickly record this video; when they grow up, it will be a truly embarrassing piece of their history.]

The daughter was extremely embarrassed. She had thought it was nothing, but what she heard from her mother was a different story, and she stammered.

“Mom, don’t be fooled by all the messages they send me. I barely replied to any of them. I just decided to break up without hesitation. Don’t overthink it.”

“Why did you break up with him?” <Half an Acre of Peach Blossoms> asked, her face somber.

The daughter truthfully said, “He has too many brothers. Many people at school call me ‘sister-in-law,’ which is too annoying. I don’t want to attract so much attention.”

Upon hearing this description, <Half an Acre of Peach Blossoms> already had a judgment in her mind. “His grades aren’t very good, are they?”

Instead of studying properly, they spend their time forming cliques and gangs. How good could their grades be?

Sure enough, her daughter nodded. “Last in the class.”

<Half an Acre of Peach Blossoms> was very surprised. “Then why do you like this street kid?”

Her daughter’s grades, while not the best, were at least above average, ranking in the top ten of her class.

The daughter mumbled, “He’s… he’s quite good-looking, he’s the most handsome guy in our class.”

He was only twelve years old, but he was already 1.7 meters tall, standing out from the crowd in his class, and he could even play basketball. In the eyes of these little girls, he was incredibly cool.

The daughter quietly added, “He’s a bit old-fashioned and doesn’t really like studying.”

<Half an Acre of Peach Blossoms>: “…”

This was absolutely awful!
