Can You Get Any Beastlier?

Ou Ming's statement carried a hint of grievance and resentment. He sounded so pitiable.

She had initially thought that he wouldn't be able to come to terms with his blindness. Never did she expect that he would embrace it so readily. The way he kept referring to himself as a handicapped person was even more enthusiastic than she.

"Didn't your mom come for you?" Yu Lili found that hard to believe. Given the "tiger mom" that Jiao Ziqing was, how could she have yet to reach him?

Ou Ming heard the suspicion in Yu Lili's voice and said with a shake of his head, "No."

"Why not?" Yu Lili asked.

"Are you sure you called my mom? You're not lying to me, are you?" Ou Ming asked. Before Yu Lili could reply, he said, "Lying to a handicapped person? Yu Lili, can you get any beastlier?"

Yu Lili was speechless.

"Come quickly. I'm borrowing the hotel's phone to make this call. If you don't come, I'll die of hunger here." With that, he hung up the phone.
