Lilly found herself face-to-face with a ghost for the first time, who seemed to be resorting to irrational arguments.
"You've changed your mind and now blame it all on me... You wanted to break up long ago, didn't you? Is it because you're interested in some fairy? Is it that Whatsapp person named Jinny or the one called Boey? Such suggestive names they have!" Lilly couldn't believe what she was hearing.
Dan couldn't bear it any longer. "They are just my colleagues! I can't control what names they choose!"
The female spirit suddenly shouted, "Then why don't you save their usernames as their real names in your contacts?"
Dan, even more frustrated, replied, "I did that once with a colleague's name, and you asked me what my relationship was with her! Why would I specifically save her name?"
Lilly, Josh, Drake, and Max were left speechless.
Wow... relationships can be so exhausting.
Lilly realized she had just gained a new perspective.
The female spirit continued arguing with Dan.
His WhatsApp was constantly under siege, and whenever a woman was messaging him, his girlfriend would start a fight.
During his normal work conversations, if a female colleague asked, "Are you there?" Dan would reply, "Yes, what's up?"
His girlfriend would accuse him of being too familiar with his female colleagues.
If a female colleague sent him a grateful emoji, he would respond with a respectful bowing emoji... His girlfriend would claim they were having an affair.
"Is there no basic trust between people?" Dan felt resentment and ended up arguing in front of the kids.
After holding it in for so long, he suddenly found some courage and realized that he couldn't bottle up his emotions.
He said, "Every time, I have a normal conversation with a female colleague, and you start a fight! But what about your WhatsApp? How many male friends do you have? You frequently exchange messages with them late at night!"
"What about that senior student? What about the 'couple' in the game? What about the senior colleague in your company? Even strangers you meet on dating apps!"
"When you chat with them, it's not considered an affair?"
His girlfriend screamed, "Dan, are you even a man? Your mind is so narrow! I have no relationship with them at all. If it weren't for you making me so angry, would I chat with someone else?"
"If you comforted me and didn't give me a chance to get upset, would I find someone else to talk to? And you have the nerve to blame me?"
Dan replied, "Fine, fine, you always say that!"
Max was amazed.
Oh my, relationships are terrifying, and girlfriends are terrifying.
He would never get into a relationship in his life.
Lilly, feeling confused, thought to herself, "Ah well, let's forget about the resentment of this female spirit."
What she was more interested in now was finding out who taught her these methods.
Lilly asked, "Do you know who that person on the internet was, the one who taught you all this?"
Still in a bad mood from arguing with Dan, the female spirit replied harshly, "I don't know! What's it to you?"
Lilly grabbed a frying pan and banged it loudly.
"Be honest!"
The female spirit fell silent instantly.
