Huddled in a corner by himself, Lin Chuan was carefully crafting a text message on his phone: "Sis, I'm sorry, the incident last night was a misunderstanding, I hope you will listen to my explanation when you return."

However, just thinking about last night's misunderstanding made Lin Chuan feel a desperate urge to die.
