Harry sat in his study and checked the script for the next day's lecture. Cutting-edge technologies and theories were constantly being updated and renewed, so the knowledge points of the lecture and examples cited would also need to be updated and renewed accordingly. Harry was used to reviewing the lecture script one day before the lecture.
His phone was set aside and muted.
When he finished confirming the lecture script, he saw that there were new notifications on his phone.
Tommo: Do you often leave your tie at someone else's house?
Harry wanted to laugh a little and responded with three words: That's never happened.
Soon after, Tommo replied again: Then, would you like to try leaving it once at my house?
Should this be considered flirting?
Or does it count as an invitation?
Harry had never used this kind of social networking app before, nor had he flirted with men, not to mention receiving this kind of invitation from one. For a moment, he didn't know how to reply. Agree and he wasn't being honest, refuse and he might be impolite.
After thinking about it, Harry replied: I'll see about that.
Tommo: What does that mean?
Harry replied: It means we'll talk about it again.
Tommo: Send me a voice message.
Tommo: Suddenly I want to hear your voice.
Harry sent a voice message over, "What do I talk about."
Tommo also responded with a voice: "Talk about... what you're doing."
Harry said: "I'm wiping my glasses."
Tommo said: "So you wear glasses. What will you do after you finish wiping them?"
Harry opened his laptop and said: "I'm checking my email."
Tommo said: "It's this late and you're replying to emails?"
Bai Changyi said: "Habit."
Tommo said: "Dedication to your work. Hey let me tell you, I'm taking a course conducted by a perverted professor this semester. I emailed him early in the morning, but he hasn't replied to me yet."
Harry logged into his email and settled two emails before sending Tommo a voice message: "Professors are slightly busier, and it's normal for responses to come within a week."
Tommo replied with a very long voice message: "The main thing is that this course mainly has lessons on Monday and Wednesday morning. Tomorrow's the second lesson, and if he doesn't reply to me by today, I don't know whether I should go to class tomorrow morning. Say, what professor would be this perverted? Just because I didn't go to the first lesson, he told me to retake the course next year. I even gave him my medical certificate. If it wasn't a required course, for us who want to go into this profession, I reckon not a single person would be willing to take his course. That stupid ass professor's so annoying, and the failure rate of his course is super high. Who would want to take it?"
Right after Harry finished listening to that voice message, he saw an unread email from someone named Louis Tomlinson.
The email was sincere, and the entire thing screamed: Professor, I'm begging you, please give me another chance to learn, I really want to attend your class.
Harry glanced at the time stamp and the sign off, and then looked at Tommo on his phone screen. Then he replayed the voice message Tommo had just sent.
Say, what professor would be this perverted?
I reckon not a single person would be willing to take his course.
That stupid ass professor's so annoying, and the failure rate of his course is super high. Who would want to take it?
What professor would be this perverted... this perverted... not a single person would be willing to take his course... that stupid ass professor's so annoying... stupid ass professor... so... annoying...
Harry clicked on Tommo's profile picture, entered his homepage, then clicked the three dots in the top right corner of the page, choosing to delete the contact and block the user.
A white box popped up on the screen–
This party is your Perfect Match [heart] ~
Are you sure you want to delete this contact and block messages from this user? When you delete the contact, the chat history will disappear as well.
Harry was about to press "OK" when he suddenly changed his mind.
He returned to the chat interface with Tommo, listened to the long voice message for the third time, then took off his glasses then picked up the glasses cloth, carefully wiping them again while listening to the voice message.
When he put on his glasses again, the corners of his lips tipped up.
He replied to Tommo: "You took sick leave yesterday. Well, you are feeling better now?"
Tommo said: "Oh, I wasn't sick. I just drank too much, so I overslept yesterday."
Right after, Tommo sent another voice message over: "Say, if the perverted professor doesn't reply to my email, do you think it'll help if I go to class tomorrow and beg him face to face?"
The corner of Harry's mouth curved up. "You can try."
