"Anyway, how did you know all these things?" Sei asked as he looked at Zaki with doubtful eyes.

  What’s with those doubtful look? Sigh……

  Zaki could only scratch his neck as he quickly thought about something he could say. But as he was about to open his mouth, Sei’s cellphone beeped again and it instantly caught the two men’s attention. Sei raised his phone to read the message while Zaki sidled towards him to have peek.

  [Have you been eating on time?]

  Upon reading Davi’s message, Sei just blinked twice before he looked at Zaki.

  Zaki on the other hand crossed his hands as he looked back at him smugly.

  "What. Didn’t you say before that you don’t want to lie to her? Tell her the truth, that you’re not even eating at all." Zaki said and Sei just innocently lowered his head and he began to type a reply.

  [Sometimes.] he wrote and the moment he sent it, Zaki sighed deeply as he shook his head.

  "Hey, can’t you even type more? What’s with that single word reply of yours? Don’t you know that the way you reply appeared as though you are not interested about replying her at all?!"

  "You know that’s not true……"

  "But that’s how normal people perceived such a message, you get it?"

  "……"

  "Listen, you should at least try adding more. If you’re lost for words, then use those emojis or pictures or whatsoever. You’re human now so you should learn being cheesy in every little thing from now on. Got it?"

  "Emoji?"

  "Yeah, adding those things in your bland message means you’re not bored with her messages, you understand? Here…… these…… these things could make your lifeless messages alive, pick any of them and sent her."

  "Any?"

  "Yes. Any."

  "Are you sure?"

  "Can’t you just do what I said?" Zaki said impatiently while Sei looked at him with his same doubtful look. However, as though he was saying words like ’whatever, as long as it’ll pleases the wife, no matter how ridiculous it seems, I’m fine with it’, Sei just stared at his phone for a moment before he innocently nodded at Zaki like an obedient child.

  Meanwhile at XiZe University……

  Davi was eating lunch along with her teacher-turned-classmate Kaide when she received an S.O.S sent by Zaki.

  And she just finished her food when she read Sei’s reply. But upon reading his single word reply ’sometimes’, Davi’s brows immediately knitted with worry. She decided to call him but as she was about to dial his number, she received another message from him.

  She immediately opened it and she blinked three times upon seeing what he just sent her. It was a single little yellow thumbs up. And before she could manage to react, another one came and this time it was a grinning cat. And again, not even a second later, another one came and it was a flying heart. And the moment the fourth one came, Davi just couldn’t helped but get choked and cough when she saw the dancing spoon he sent her.

  Cough…… cough…… cough…… W-w-what are these? Wait…… could it be that some naughty little kid snatched Sei’s cellphone and played with it?

  Davi who was just looking worried a moment ago suddenly went doubtful. Well, she couldn’t believe that Sei was suddenly sending her random emojis out of nowhere.

  However, as she was about to dial his number again, another message came.

  [Sometimes I’m eating on time, sometimes I’m not.]

  For the second time, Davi choked again.

  It was because the message have a sleeping emoji, an anchor and a broken heart at the end of it.

  "There’s definitely something wrong in here…… could it be that he’s drunk?" she mumbled as she immediately dialed Sei’s number.
